The Great Emperor's aura spread, instantly engulfing the entire area and making everyone almost unable to breathe.
Almost instantly, everyone understood the whole story.
Fang Sheng of Golden Feather Holy Heaven Golden Feather Holy Heaven not be the strongest, but he is one of the most valued geniuses in the region!
His death here immediately alarmed the Holy Master of Golden Feather Holy Heaven.
It should be understood that every student in the Holy Heaven who can rank among the top ten is the culmination of the Holy Heaven's efforts. The Holy Heaven has invested countless efforts and resources to cultivate them to this level.
But now, the student on whom they had placed such high hopes has been murdered. How could the Golden Feather Holy Heaven let this go unpunished?
The oppressive aura emanating from the Great Emperor descended, turning everyone's faces pale. An overwhelming sense of suffocation surged up, making it impossible for them to breathe.
Meanwhile, the Holy Master of Golden Feather Holy Heaven transformed into a golden streak of light and swiftly arrived. Upon seeing the pool of blood, his Divine Sense spread, and he witnessed Fang Sheng's lifeless body, eyes wide open, sinking to the bottom of the water. Enraged, he roared, "Who?! Who dared to kill the pride of my Golden Feather Holy Heaven?!"
This island in the middle of the lake was the only place in the Cloudmist Marsh where Divine Sense was not restricted, which intensified his grief.
Almost instinctively, everyone's eyes turned towards Lin Xuan. The Holy Master followed suit, his face grim, like the calm before a storm, tense and unresponsive. He hadn't spoken yet, but when he saw Lin Xuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He never expected that it would be someone from the Primordial Holy Heaven.
only...
When did such a prodigy emerge in the Primordial Holy Heaven?
But a murderous glint flashed in his eyes for a moment, and he narrowed them, speaking in a chilling tone.
"At such a young age, to possess such talent and strength is not bad, but... why did you so ruthlessly kill a student of my Golden Feather Holy Heaven?"
"Such ruthless methods at such a young age! With such strength, why not use it to fight demons instead of his own kind? His heart is despicable!"
"Even if the Dean of your Primordial Holy Heaven were here today, he couldn't save you!"
The waves beneath the surface surged wildly, moving with the holy master's wrath.
His aura exploded, sweeping across the entire area. The water curtain surged and transformed into droplets that solidified in mid-air, only to be instantly burned away.
The mere anger caused the water vapor in the swamp to dissipate, the surrounding air to become dry, and amidst the rising wind and swirling clouds, the same fear flashed in the eyes of almost all the trainees present.
Everyone knew that this holy master was truly enraged and genuinely harbored murderous intent!
Those were, after all, students he had personally trained. Now, all they had to do was compete for a fortuitous opportunity, and it had fallen into the hands of the Primordial Holy Heaven, which he despised the most.
How could he possibly let this go so easily!
If there's no bloodshed, this matter is unlikely to end anytime soon...
Just as his eyes were filled with murderous intent, a clear cry came from the horizon. A stream of blue light, like a sharp sword, shot straight towards the water, blocking the rain of water droplets that were falling like a storm between Lin Xuan and the water.
A blue feather fell before Lin Xuan's eyes, revealing a gigantic blue bird whose feathers were almost jade-like. Its massive body, like a small mountain, completely obscured Lin Xuan, causing him to pause slightly in his sword-wielding gesture.
At the same time, the voice of the middle-aged holy master came from above the bluebird's head. Although the voice was calm, it carried an undeniable authority.
" Fang Fu, you are a Holy Teacher, why are you making things difficult for the students of my Primordial Holy Heaven? This action is excessive."
Fang Fu, the Holy Master of Golden Feather Holy Heaven, stared intently at the middle-aged Holy Master, his eyes bloodshot as if about to burst. He growled in a suppressed voice, " Chi Yizhou, you want to oppose me? This boy killed my only disciple. Today, he must die here, or else, our feud will be irreconcilable!!"
The middle-aged sage gazed silently at Fang Fu and sighed.
He leaped down from the jade bird's head and landed on the water, his boots lightly touching the surface, creating ripples.
The jade bird raised its neck, let out a crisp cry, and quickly shrank its size. Instead of flying back to the middle-aged saint master, it flew to Lin Xuan's other shoulder.
Its tiny wings gently brushed against Lin Xuan's cheek, the meaning of comfort and protection self-evident.
The middle-aged sage remained unmoved in the face of the threat posed by the Fang Fu.
He glanced back at Lin Xuan, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Almost the instant the Holy Master of Golden Feather Holy Heaven set off, he followed closely behind.
He had seen everything Lin Xuan had done. Although only a short time had passed, he naturally remembered that this boy was Lin Yuechan's younger brother, and the one who had taken a jade pendant from him.
He had been worried that the kid might encounter some misfortune or danger in the Demon Battlefield, but he never expected that the other party's strength would be so exaggerated, and his talent was even more extraordinary. He could even kill Fang Sheng, who became famous at a young age, with ease.
Such talent...
"No need for further explanation." The middle-aged sage master spoke calmly, pressing his thumb on his jade thumb ring, his eyes fixed on Fang Fu opposite him, his tone even more resolute.
"This boy is a member of my Primordial Holy Heaven. If your disciple hadn't gone too far in bullying others, why would he have made a move?"
"I'll protect him!"
Even so, he still sighed inwardly.
Fang Fu is very strong, and Lin Xuan, after all, did kill the prodigy of Golden Feather Holy Heaven, so he probably won't be able to escape so easily today.
Especially considering that Fang Fu's cultivation level is already at the Great Emperor Third Stage, while he is only at the first level, even with the Jade Bird, taking Lin Xuan away will not be an easy task.
Upon hearing this, Fang Fu was naturally furious, his face darkening as he sneered repeatedly.
"Alright, alright, let's see how many people you can protect!"
His gaze fell upon the Divine Sense of the other disciples of the Primordial Holy Heaven, the meaning of which was self-evident.
This shameless act caused the middle-aged master's face to darken.
He looked at Fang Fu and slowly said, "Since you insist... Huang Li'er, protect Lin Xuan!"
"If you want war, then let's fight!"
The jade bird flapped its wings, and a soft, delicate female voice echoed in Lin Xuan's mind.
"Little one, once your master makes his move, you should take the opportunity to leave this place. I will protect you until you reach a safe place, don't be afraid."
The gentle voice, like flowing water, soothed Lin Xuan's heart, warming him slightly, yet he still gently shook his head.
"Thank you, senior, but there's no need."
He didn't transmit his words, but spoke them directly, creating ripples on the tense battlefield of the water and attracting the attention of others.
Lin Xuan remained unmoved.
He gently removed the jade bird from his shoulder, patted Xuan Bing, causing it to fall to the ground and transform into a slightly larger white deer. He placed the jade bird on Xuan Bing's body, turned his head, and walked forward with his sword in hand.
He glanced indifferently at the Holy Master of the Golden Feather Holy Heaven, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, word by word, "Since you want my life, then come and take it yourself."
