Let's Meet Senior Brother Li Xun!

"Tianzi Zhenguo Fist?"

I heard what the disciples of the Beast Control Sect said.

In the field.

There is no shortage of well-informed people.

A disciple of the Shenxiao Sect murmured, "Isn't this the magical power of the Great Chu Dynasty? Why does it appear here? Could it be that in this Yuanhuang secret realm, there is a certain prince from the Great Chu Dynasty involved?"

In the sky.

A figure in green clothes appeared. He clenched a fist with one hand and smashed it down in the air. He had the power to move mountains and rivers, as if he could destroy everything with a mere gesture. "Boom!"

The fist seal collided with the killing formation, creating a deafening noise.

The entire formation trembled and shook, and the countless sword lights within it dimmed significantly. Many of the talented individuals who were trapped inside managed to escape.

These individuals looked disheveled and battered.

Even Cheng Shi from the Giant Elephant Sect had a deep gash on his chest. It was clear that he had faced significant challenges within the formation. "Break!"

With a loud shout, the man in green landed several powerful punches, like meteors falling from the sky one after another, striking the formation with irresistible force. "Boom!"

Before long, a breach appeared in the massive formation. The formation that had originally covered the entire mountain now had a weakness.

"Is this..."

Seeing this scene, many people were in disbelief. It was nothing short of incredible.

The same formation that had just trapped the seven geniuses was now being shattered by the green-clad man. This display of power was astonishing.

Could this be the strength of a Great Chu Dynasty prince?

Many people felt relieved when they considered that the Great Chu Dynasty was backing this individual. As a prince of a dynasty, he had access to resources from a young age that were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

From the moment he made a move, it was clear that he possessed a top-grade heaven-level martial technique.

"Your Highness, is my senior brother Ning Cheng on his way?"

The disciples of the Beast Control Sect shouted excitedly.

In their view, their senior brother might have arrived by now, lurking in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to make a grand entrance.

However, the green-clad man paid no attention to their words and entered the killing formation without even glancing at them.

"Um..."

The disciple of the Beast Control Sect awkwardly touched his nose, wearing a trace of embarrassment on his face.

Just when he thought no one was paying attention to him, two followers behind the green-clad man passed by. One of them sneered and casually said, "Your senior brother Ning Cheng has perished at the hands of Li Xun."

"Um?"

The disciples of the Beast Control Sect, who had been so confident just moments ago, were suddenly dumbfounded.

What?

Senior Brother Ning Cheng is dead?

How could that be?

Not only were they baffled, but others were even more puzzled than they were. The Beast Control Sect disciple had just made it clear that Ning Cheng had acquired a drop of ancient Qiongqi's blood, greatly enhancing his strength.

Logically, even if he couldn't defeat Li Xun, he should have been able to escape. How could he have died at Li Xun's hands?

"Impossible, this can't be true. How could Senior Brother Ning, with his talent, fall to Li Xun? You must be lying to me!"

This Beast Control Sect disciple roared in a low voice.

He couldn't bring himself to believe what he had just heard.

Behind him, several other Beast Control Sect disciples wore expressions of mourning. Senior Brother Ning Cheng's death in the Yuanhuang Secret Realm felt like a catastrophe had befallen them. Without Ning Cheng, they were like ripe fruit waiting to be picked by others.

From an emotional standpoint, they were more inclined to believe that the person had lied to them, but upon closer consideration, it didn't make sense for him to lie.

After all.

If Ning Cheng wasn't dead but rumors of his death circulated, how could he ever settle scores with his enemies in the future?

Anyone with common sense wouldn't engage in such a reckless act that would make enemies for no reason.

If they hadn't lied to them, then Ning Cheng might... really be dead!

"Senior brother, it's just other people's words at the moment. Senior brother Ning Cheng may still be alive..." A disciple of the Beast Control Sect said with a bitter expression on his face.

But before he could finish his sentence...

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

A purple brilliance in the distance streaked across the sky like a shooting star, quickly growing larger in the eyes of countless onlookers.

As it drew closer, everyone noticed that it was a warship, colored in purple and gold, about ten feet in length. A large flag at the ship's bow flapped in the wind, bearing the character "李" along with soaring dragons and phoenixes.

Beneath the flag.

Two figures, one in purple and one in green, stood side by side.

Behind them was Jiang Jue, dressed as an inner disciple of the Xuanyang Sect, but his presence was largely ignored.

At this moment.

All eyes were fixed on Li Xun.

Just a moment ago, someone had claimed that Li Xun had killed Ning Cheng, and now Li Xun had appeared, but Ning Cheng was nowhere to be seen. If nothing unexpected had occurred...

...then what that person said earlier was likely true!

Li Xun had indeed killed Ning Cheng! "I pay my respects to Senior Brother Li Xun!"

Upon seeing Li Xun's arrival, the seven or eight disciples of the Xuanyang Sect wore happy smiles on their faces as they respectfully saluted him. "Please rise."

Li Xun nodded slightly and responded.

In contrast, the several disciples of the Beast Control Sect looked visibly upset.

Their leader held a long black knife, its blade gleaming with a cold light. His eyes glowed red as he locked onto Li Xun.

There were several instances when he contemplated striking Li Xun down in a single blow.

But he ultimately restrained himself.

He understood that the strongest among their group had only reached the late stage of the Lingyun Realm. If they rashly provoked Li Xun, they would be inviting their own deaths!

...

Although he managed to control himself, a lingering aura of murderous intent still emanated from him. The moment this aura spread, a metallic clang resonated through the air, and a flash of sword light followed.

The leading disciple of the Beast Control Sect lost his head before he could react.

His massive head rolled off the monster's body, tumbling several feet away and leaving a gruesome mark on the ground.

The sight was jarring. "Senior brother?"

The remaining disciples of the Beast Control Sect were pale with horror and looked up in disbelief.

They saw Yao Feng, who stood beside Li Xun, wearing a cold expression. He slowly retracted his sword finger and said icily, "If you harbor murderous intentions towards Brother Li, do you think that everyone else here is blind?" As soon as these words left his lips.

Shock rippled through the crowd.

The remaining disciples of the Beast Control Sect all lowered their heads, refraining from displaying any signs of resentment.

They couldn't comprehend why Yao Feng from Lingjian Valley, who had no prior grievances with them and had no recent enmity, had intervened on Li Xun's behalf.

Moreover,

Yao Feng actually took action for Li Xun.

What is this?

The esteemed leader of Lingjian Valley has become a follower of Xuanyang Sect's Li Xun?

At a glance, it seemed like Yao Feng had killed a disciple of the Beast Control Sect for Li Xun, but if word of this got out, it would send a different message.

It implied that Lingjian Valley and Xuanyang Sect had formed a strong alliance.

Should the Beast Control Sect dare to seek revenge, they would be facing a formidable alliance of Spirit Sword Valley and Xuanyang Sect!
