Just as the Man Ba's voice faded, a high-pitched cry suddenly rang out from the horizon, as loud as thunder.
Everyone in the room looked up at the sky.
Hundreds of griffins swept in, their massive bodies as powerful as lions and their wings as agile as eagles.
On the back of the griffins rode hundreds of people, clad in magnificent armor, wielding sharp weapons, their gazes resolute and piercing, charging toward this place with an indomitable spirit.
Finally, the griffins landed beside Mu Xiu, Man Ba, and the others.
"As expected, the Primordial Li Household has also arrived."
"That's nonsense. This is the tomb of Shen Li. How could the High Antiquity Li Household possibly give it up?"
"That's true."
The person leading the Li Household this time was a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had a dignified appearance, a majestic expression, and exuded a strong sense of oppression.
" Li Fentian?"
Mu Xiu was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect the Li Household to send you."
Li Fentian stared coldly at Mu Xiu and Man Ba, "I ask you, how did Elder Xuanqing die?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiu and Man Ba exchanged a glance, then shook their heads in unison, saying, "We don't know."
Li Fentian narrowed his eyes, staring at the two of them without saying a word.
Being stared at like that by Li Fentian, Man Ba immediately became displeased. "What? Do you suspect that we killed Elder Xuanqing?"
Li Fentian, "Besides you, who else could kill him?"
"Snort!"
The Man Ba snorted coldly, " Li Fentian, what do you mean?"
Li Fentian, "You all know what I mean!"
"Court death!"
The Man Ba flew into a rage, and a terrifying aura swept outwards like a storm, distorting and rippled the air. However, it could not withstand the force for long and exploded completely.
Upon seeing this, everyone in the arena gasped in shock and retreated hastily, keeping their distance. Watching a battle between Immortal Emperor was not something they could afford to witness up close, unless they were suicidal.
Li Fentian's expression was cold, and an equally powerful force erupted from his body. The terrifying power transformed into a dazzling golden light, surging like waves.
Boom!
The two forces collided violently, causing the earth to shake violently. The two beams of light intertwined and compressed, and space was constantly shattered and reformed, producing a deafening roar.
After a short while, the two were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand, but neither of them wanted to admit defeat.
At this moment, Mu Xiu suddenly stepped forward and said, "That's enough for you two. Do you still want Shen Li's tomb?"
Upon hearing this, Man Ba and Li Fentian remained silent for a moment before simultaneously withdrawing their attacks. They stared coldly at each other, neither looking down on the other.
Li Fentian looked at Mu Xiu and said in a deep voice, " Mu Xiu, do you really not know how Elder Xuanqing died?"
Mu Xiu shook his head decisively and said, "I don't know."
He didn't want to displease Su Chen by informing on him, so he chose to keep it a secret.
Li Fentian's expression was somewhat unpleasant.
He came here for two reasons: first, to see the Shen Li's Tomb, and second, to investigate the cause of Elder Xuanqing's death.
He bet Mu Xiu and Man Ba definitely knew how Li Xuanqing died, but why would they hide it? What benefit would they gain from it?
Li Fentian's mind raced, but he just couldn't figure it out.
At the same time, Jun Yaoyang and Man Ba looked at a woman beside Li Fentian with extremely solemn expressions.
The woman stood there quietly, like the brightest star in the night sky. Her skin was as white as snow, so delicate it seemed as if it could be broken with a touch. Her eyes were like deep, dark pools, capable of captivating anyone with just one glance.
Jun Yaoyang said, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, Miss Ruobing's strength has become even more unfathomable."
Li Ruobing glanced at Jun Yaoyang and smiled faintly, "Isn't Brother Yaoyang the same?"
Jun Yaoyang shook his head and said, "Miss Ruobing, please don't flatter me. My strength is very weak."
Li Ruobing said, "Brother Yaoyang, you're really joking. If you're weak, then there's no one in this world stronger than you."
Jun Yaoyang smiled faintly and said nothing more.
Lin Fan, standing in the crowd, gazed at Jun Yaoyang and the other two, lost in thought.
Xue Ya asked, "Can you beat the three of them?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice, "They give me a strong feeling, but I'm not afraid."
Xue Ya smiled and said, "I believe you."
Her expression suddenly turned serious as she looked at the five disciples of the Yingtian Academy. "Once you enter the secret realm, you must remember to obey Lin Fan's orders, understand?"
The five nodded and said, "Understood."
Xue Ya nodded, then looked behind them, " Youyue, aren't you coming out?"
Lin Fan and the others were stunned and turned to look.
There, Youyue's figure slowly emerged from the shadows. She approached the group with an extremely embarrassed expression, head bowed, avoiding Xue Ya's gaze.
Xue Ya said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you to stay at the academy? What are you doing here? If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain to Master?"
Youyue bit her lip lightly, looked up at Xue Ya, and said, "I don't want to be a hothouse flower."
Xue Ya was startled.
Youyue said coquettishly, "Senior sister, don't worry, I'm very strong, not weak at all!"
Xue Ya smiled and asked, "You've broken through?"
Youyue nodded, "Mhm!"
Xue Ya asked, "When?"
Youyue said, "Just recently."
"Sigh~"
Xue Ya sighed softly, "Whatever, I can't control you anyway."
Youyue took Xue Ya's arm. "Senior sister, it's alright. I can protect our junior brothers and sisters when the time comes."
Xue Ya smiled slightly, "Okay."
On the other side, Li Fentian stared at the entrance to the tomb, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Only beings under a thousand years old can enter. Who made this rule?"
Mu Xiu, "A senior you can't afford to offend."
Li Fentian raised an eyebrow. "What a joke! Are there people in this world I can't afford to offend?"
"Hehe."
The Man Ba sneered, "Can't you stop bragging?"
Veins bulged on Li Fentian's forehead, his hands clenched into fists, and he glared at Man Ba, gritting his teeth as he said, " Man Ba, you're going to oppose me, aren't you?"
The Man Ba said coldly, "So what if it is?"
Just as the two were about to fight, Mu Xiu suddenly said, "Alright, you two, if you have any grudges, can't you settle them later?"
"Snort!"
The two snorted coldly, turned their heads away, and refused to look at each other again.
call out!
Suddenly, an old man rushed toward the entrance of the tomb with lightning speed, reaching the entrance in the blink of an eye.
"Holy crap! This guy has no sportsmanship!"
Everyone in the room was taken aback.
The three Man Ba also turned to look at the old man.
Li Fentian said, "You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he prepared to make his move.
Buzz!
However, at that moment, a sword light flashed across the arena, and the old man suddenly froze on the spot. Then, under everyone's gaze, his head flew off!
Everyone stared blankly at the scene, somewhat bewildered...
