"How could it be possible, how could Qingling Hermit have conspired with Elder Hei Yu?"
"It’s impossible, doesn’t Elder Hei Yu hate outsiders the most? How could he join forces with Lee Qingling?"
Atop the grand hall, the clan elders from the Great Elder’s faction were all exchanging glances, their faces full of astonishment. Lee Qingling had always been under the great care and trust of the Great Elder, but to think, he too harboured malicious intent!
"Who would have thought, just as Young Master Ling Feng said, that you have indeed betrayed me! Cough cough..."
The Great Elder clutched his chest, glaring at Lee Qingling with immense anger, and a series of violent coughs erupted.
"A good bird chooses a tree to nest in. Great Elder, although you have treated me fairly well, I have repaid you."
Lee Qingling, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, scoffed coldly, "Had I added just a little more ingredient to the Spirit Void Creation Elixir, you would probably have been long gone to heaven. Alas, it’s a pity, such a pity, this hermit is ultimately too kind-hearted."
"Pah!"
"Simply shameless!"
"Betraying the Great Elder and yet speaking so self-righteously!"
The hall erupted in scolding, but Lee Qingling remained unmoved, even shamelessly smiling as he said, "Success to the king, the loser is the bandit. Great Elder, you probably wouldn’t blame me."
"Hmph!" The Great Elder grunted angrily, still leaning on the throne, looking listless as if he was truly at the brink of death and reaching the state of ’Heavenly Human Five Declines.’
Ling Feng, seeing this, couldn’t help but laugh slyly in his heart; the Great Elder was indeed the true cunning fox!
Compared to him, Elder Hei Yu was still green.
"Tuoba Ce, I’ll take this person with me!" Elder Hei Yu said, his back to the Great Elder, voice resolute, not turning his head.
"You... Don’t even think about it!" The Great Elder struggled to stand but only made it halfway before collapsing heavily back into his seat, erupting into violent coughs.
"Great Elder!"
The clan elders inside the hall were terrified, the Great Elder’s condition, together with the anger, foreboded an ominous situation.
"Originally, I hoped for a fair fight with you!" Elder Hei Yu huffed lightly, eyes fixed on Ling Feng, and said coldly, "Prophetic Son, Tuoba Ce is no longer able to protect you. If you don’t want to suffer physically, you’d better come quietly with me!"
"Oh? And if I say no?" Ling Feng touched his nose bridge, smiling lightly, "As far as I know, you don’t have any good intentions towards me!"
"Refusing to drink a toast!"
Elder Hei Yu huffed coldly, waving his hand towards Tuoba Yan who was by his side, and said lightly, "Yan’er, take him down!"
"Yes!"
As Tuoba Yan’s red lips parted, before her words fell, a chill attacked, and Ling Feng hadn’t even reacted when he felt as if a force of Xuanbing had fixed him, his whole body seemingly plunging into the depths of a frozen river, a bone-chilling cold sweeping over him.
Ling Feng’s expression changed slightly, surprised that such a young-looking girl possessed such strength.
However, it was fortunate that Ling Feng had anticipated that Elder Hei Yu would likely make a move against him, having Despicable Donkey already in place to protect him. The icy chill lasted only a moment before being repelled, and the next moment, Tuoba Yan’s figure staggered backward several steps, a flash of astonishment crossing her eyes.
"Hmph, hmph, didn’t you know, this kid is under the protection of a Divine Beast?"
Despicable Donkey descended from the sky with a flamboyant snort, boldly declaring, "Little girl, your lantern isn’t sturdy at all!"
Speaking of which, the Despicable Donkey casually threw out a Tianhang Bright Wheel that had been dismantled and shattered, tossing it to the ground.
Tuoba Yan trembled, and a trail of fresh blood immediately leaked from the corner of her mouth.
Within the black mist, it seemed like the True Qi inside one’s body was constantly being eroded, and even the Divine Power seemed to be severely restricted.
"Ha ha ha..."
Elder Heiyu laughed loudly, "Within the Wangduan Mountain, I have no more opponents. Whoever dares defy me, dies!"
A tremendous and majestic aura swept out wildly. Enveloped by the black mist, Elder Heiyu eerily formed a pair of black feathered wings, hovering in the sky, his cold gaze fixed on the Despicable Donkey, like a God Demon.
Elder Heiyu, controlling the bright wheel with one hand, and the Heavenly Demon God Dharma Form appeared, displaying heavenly might, which even a powerful Demon Emperor like the Despicable Donkey found trembling.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Elder Heiyu stood majestically, dominating the scene, an arrow of blazing sun streaked across the sky dome, dispersing all darkness and piercing through the black curtain in one shot.
Everyone was momentarily dazzled, only to realize that all the earlier God Demon Dharma Forms were mere illusions, nothing but a Phantom Technique executed by Elder Heiyu.
"Damn it!"
The Despicable Donkey waved his hoof, grinding his teeth and saying, "This damned Phantom Technique, it’s really annoying!"
Back in the day, the Despicable Donkey too was a Demon Emperor, but was utterly defeated by Emperor Tiance, largely because his resistance to Phantom Techniques was almost nonexistent.
However, Ling Feng, in that moment, discovered that his Unlimited Vision could still, to a certain extent, counteract the enemy’s Phantom Techniques.
Just as Elder Heiyu’s illusion was broken, rage surged in his eyes. He turned around and saw that the Great Elder, who knew since when, had risen from his throne. The Tianhang Bright Wheel hovered beside him, his eyes bright and full of vigor, showing none of the half-dead appearance from before.
"No... this can’t be! Tuoba Ce, you were already..."
Elder Heiyu stared at the perfectly composed Great Elder, his eyes nearly popping out, "This can’t be! The Sky Strategy Clan is short-lived, it’s a heavenly curse! You were clearly already depleted of vitality!"
"Thanks to Young Master Ling, I have recovered!" The Great Elder fixed his gaze on Elder Heiyu, still earnestly advising, "Hei Yu, it’s not too late to stop now!"
