Chapter 325 Give me men, I want revenge! [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]
"Boom boom boom!"
The sword light collided with the cyan whirlwind and feather blades, unleashing a deafening roar.
The surging air currents stirred up the surrounding colorful mist into chaos.
Even with one less person, the Qingyun Peak Master was still struggling to cope with the two ultimate war gods.
"Inhuman scum, prepare to die!"
Yue Qing roared, his voice like thunder, as he swept his giant sword horizontally.
A thick, condensed crimson-gold sword aura tore through the air and slashed towards Qingyun!
Qingyun let out a low shout and unleashed a flurry of slashes with his wings in a fierce exchange.
"Clang clang clang!"
The giant sword clashed repeatedly with the azure whirlwind, sparks flying everywhere. Qingyun was forced to retreat steadily, and several sword marks appeared on its wings.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Zhan kept launching surprise attacks on Qingyun, forcing Qingyun to curse loudly.
"Shameless humans! We're both at the limit, why do you have to team up for a sneak attack? Do you even dare to fight one-on-one?!"
"Idiot!!" Yue Qing simply cursed coldly, without replying at all.
Dongfang Zhan just kept stabbing with his gun without saying a word.
The subordinate that Qingyun brought had already been killed by him with two shots.
On the other side, Xu Feng was "cut" into the poisonous fog by a sword and was quickly caught up by Blue Eagle.
The two exchanged only once before Blue Eagle was forced back by the force of the blow.
But his eyes lit up, and he looked at the Golden Winged Clan lord in front of him with a smile.
The two locked eyes and instantly recognized each other.
Immediately, Cangya and the others rushed over and saw Xu Feng and Lan Ying fighting fiercely.
"Summon everyone to help! Quickly!" Xu Feng roared, and Cangya led his men back, soon raising his head and letting out a long howl.
Before long, several figures shot over, led by Li Wen and Xiao Feng!
Upon seeing that Xu Feng was locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, everyone immediately surrounded him.
"Stop him! I'm going to help Peak Master Qingyun!!"
He then vanished from the spot in a flash.
.
Just as Blue Eagle was about to give chase, Li Wen and Xiao Feng led the way and formed a formation to stop him.
The bird-clan expert who had come with Qingyun gritted his teeth and followed Xu Feng toward Qingyun.
Just when Qingyun was in danger and injured multiple times.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the clouds and mist; it was none other than the newly appointed Lord of Purgatory Peak, "Fire Scale"!
"Brother Qing, I'm here to help you!!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyun's spirits lifted, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and the pressure eased instantly: "Brother Huolin, you've come at the perfect time! Quickly come and help me kill these two human madmen!"
However, just as "Fire Kirin" rushed to Qingyun's side, and the two were about to face the enemy side by side—
A sudden change has occurred!
A cold glint flashed in Huo Lin's eyes.
His forward momentum abruptly halted without warning.
The crimson palm print that was originally aimed at Yue Qing drew an arc in the air in a strange way.
With his five fingers pressed together like a knife, wrapped in a dark red flame that had been condensed to its maximum, he stabbed at Qingyun's unsuspecting right rib with lightning speed!
This attack came without warning, and was vicious and ruthless.
The timing was absolutely perfect!
This was the fatal gap when Qingyun relaxed slightly due to the arrival of "reinforcements," and when the old forces had been exhausted and the new forces had not yet emerged!
"you?!"
Qingyun's pupils shrank drastically, utterly horrified.
In the rush, he only had time to frantically rush the remaining blood and qi to his right ribs, condensing it into a layer of bluish-green armor.
But how can a hasty defense withstand such a premeditated and deadly sneak attack?
"Sizzle—!"
The dark red palm strike, like a red-hot iron piercing through butter, easily tore through the blue light armor, and plunged into Qingyun's right rib, grabbing his heart!
A violent and intense "blood and qi" mixed with a terrifying mental force exploded instantly within his body!
Immediately, the Purgatory Peak Master kicked him away.
"puff--!"
Qingyun coughed up a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with wisps of dark red flames and fragments of internal organs!
He flew out like a tattered sack, a horrifying charred hole the size of a bowl in his right side, the edges of which were mangled and wisps of smoke rising from them.
"You—you're not Huo Lin, who are you?!"
Qingyun crashed heavily into a pile of rocks ten feet away, struggling to prop himself up, his eyes filled with unbelievable rage.
Having landed a successful blow, "Fire Kirin" didn't pause, its figure bursting up again, heading straight for the heavily injured Qingyun.
at the same time!
Yue Qing and Dongfang Zhan, who were originally "besieging" Huo Lin, seemed to have a tacit understanding and instantly changed their focus!
The broadsword in Yue Qing's hand burst forth with dazzling golden light, and a giant sword aura, condensed to the point of being tangible, tore through the sky and slashed down towards Qingyun!
Dongfang Zhan's spear moved like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, its tip trembling as it conjured countless crimson spear shadows, blocking all of Qingyun's escape routes!
The three attacked together with perfect coordination, unleashing all their deadly moves, determined to utterly annihilate Qingyun!
If Qingyun still doesn't understand at this moment, then he's a fool.
He let out a fierce and unwilling roar, a resolute madness flashing in his eyes, and despite his serious injuries, he burned his life essence.
The azure wings on its back suddenly exploded, transforming into countless sharp, knife-like azure light feathers that swept towards the three like a storm!
This is his forbidden technique, "Azure Feather Burning the Heavens," which he used to fight to the death!
However, with his severely injured body, the power of his attack was greatly diminished due to the hasty execution.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Sword energy, spear shadows, dark red fist force, and a storm of cyan light feathers collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar!
The multicolored poisonous mist was completely torn apart by the violent energy impact, revealing the ravaged mountains below.
The light faded.
Qingyun was already a corpse, lying on the ground without any breath.
The "Lord of Purgatory Peak" turned to leave, but as soon as Yue Qing frowned, Dongfang Zhan raised his hand to stop him.
In just a moment, it vanished into the mist.
Yue Qing opened his mouth, about to ask a question.
The next moment.
"Peak Master of Qingyun!!!"
An anxious shout came from afar!
Suddenly, "Jinmu" burst out of the mist, saw the corpse of the Qingyun Peak Master, and charged towards Dongfang Zhan and the other two.
Yue Qing's expression changed: "I'll hold him off, you go find Blue Eagle!"
However, Dongfang Zhan smirked and shouted, "Kill him first!!"
boom!
The three were fighting again in an instant.
Meanwhile, the trusted avian expert of the Qingyun Peak Master, who was following not far behind Xu Feng, arrived at that moment.
But then Xu Feng unleashed a powerful punch, sending Dongfang Zhan flying backward. He grabbed Qingyun's corpse and threw it at him, shouting, "Take Brother Qingyun and get out of here!!"
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Yue Qing roared and slashed at Xu Feng with his sword.
Xu Feng suddenly shot out the golden feather in his hand, blasting the broadsword away with two "bangs" and grabbing the left hand of the Qingyun Peak Master.
However, Yue Qing did not retreat. Instead, he grabbed the right hand of the Qingyun Peak Master and suddenly confronted Xu Feng.
Xu Feng's gaze was fixed on Yue Qing and Dongfang Zhan, and he roared, "You human traitors! How dare you harm my comrades! Die!!"
He appeared to be insane, his body radiating golden light as if he were about to fight to the death.
Yue Qing and Dongfang Zhan exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with "gratitude" and "killing intent".
"Kill this golden-winged birdman first!"
Yue Qing roared, turned his giant sword, and unleashed a sharp sword light towards Xu Feng!
Dongfang Zhan also tacitly surrounded Xu Feng with his gun.
Hsu Feng "fiercely" fought back.
The golden fist energy collided with the sword light and spear shadows, unleashing a series of loud noises.
He retreated repeatedly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet he stood firmly between Qingyun and the two human assassins.
"Run! I'll hold them off!"
Xu Feng roared, his back to the bird-clan expert.
The bird-clan expert's expression changed drastically. He was in imminent danger and had no time to think. Taking advantage of Xu Feng forcing the two back, he grabbed the corpse of the Qingyun Peak Master and left.
"Sizzle!"
As soon as he took a step, a sword light nearly cleaved him in two.
Xu Feng arrived with a bang, shattering the sword light with a single punch, and then sending the man flying: "Leave it to me! Let's go!!"
The bird-clan expert turned pale and immediately left without looking back, not daring to linger for a moment.
Before he could get far, Xu Feng stopped, glanced at the distance, and instantly left the battlefield.
Yue Qing's sword missed its mark, and he was about to give chase when Dongfang Zhan stopped him: "We're on the same side!"
Xu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said in a low voice, "I shouldn't stay any longer. Thank you all, seniors. I'm leaving now."
"Take care, we'll provide support from the perimeter at any time," Dongfang Zhan said quickly.
Yue Qing hesitated, but before he could speak, Xu Feng turned around, picked up Qingyun's corpse, and disappeared into the mist.
"Senior Dongfang, this is—" Yue Qing asked, somewhat taken aback.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Dongfang Zhan turned and left, and Yue Qing had no choice but to follow.
Not far away.
Xu Feng had only run a hundred meters with the Qingyun Peak Master in his arms when he ripped off his left arm. He then threw most of the body into his inner world and handed it over to the Divine Tree to digest.
He, clinging to his left arm, "scrambled" through the mountains, dodging and weaving, before finally "escaping" back to the rendezvous point.
Seeing that no one was at the meeting point, he carefully reviewed and checked again to confirm that everything was correct.
That's when they sent a signal to Xiaofeng and the others.
He then took a deep breath, his face instantly filled with exhaustion, grief, and pain once again.
His aura was deliberately adjusted to be disordered and weak, his golden wings were dim, and they were even deliberately torn in a few places, stained with "blood".
After a careful examination, Xu Feng looked at his skin again and saw that some feather-like patterns had indeed begun to appear. He then nodded in satisfaction.
He threw the left arm to the ground and sat there pondering: "It's fortunate that the divine tree can disguise its divine soul aura after absorbing the essence of the Golden Winged Clan."
In addition, the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique has mutated and transformed my body... After this, I even felt like a member of the Golden Winged Clan for a moment.
Li Wen led Xiaofeng and the others as they rushed over.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Xu Feng was unharmed.
"Peak Master, how are your injuries? Peak Master Qingyun, he—" Xiaofeng asked anxiously.
"Quickly—get back to Golden Roc Peak!"
Hsu Feng waved his hand weakly, his face showing grief and anxiety.
Brother Qingyun was ambushed by the traitor Lord of Purgatory Peak in collusion with the human race and is dead. I fought desperately and only managed to salvage one of his arms.
We must return to the mountain immediately to report this matter to the Dragon King and the envoy, and request that the Dragon King quickly send someone to meet us and clean up our own ranks!
"What?! The Lord of Purgatory Peak has betrayed us?!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.
Xu Feng didn't have time to think about anything else.
"Walk!"
With Li Wen's support, he led the group and sped back towards Xiaoqingqiong Mountain.
"By the way, what about the Ultimate War God? How did you guys escape?"
On the way, Xu Feng asked with concern.
"Perhaps they realized you had escaped, so they concentrated their efforts on chasing you, which is why they let us go halfway. It's just a pity that Rika... unfortunately died."
Cangya said half a sentence with relief, then his tone turned somber.
Xu Feng turned his head and saw that Chong Tong was carrying the lifeless Li Hua on his back.
"Yes, but Brother Li's combat strength is truly formidable. He was able to fight that ultimate war god to a standstill."
Xiaofeng was shocked, but he didn't care about Lihua's death.
He couldn't help but say enviously, "Looking back now, the Peak Master's idea to subdue him was absolutely right!"
Xu Feng gave a wry smile: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's hurry back."
The others' faces darkened, and their hearts grew heavy.
The atmosphere was heavy as they hurried along.
Upon returning to Xiaoqingqiong Mountain, Xu Feng immediately instructed Li Wen and the others to go back first.
He then led Xiaofeng, Cangya, and the severed arm of the Qingyun Peak Master straight to Tian Shu Peak to seek an audience with the Youquan Envoy.
However, the Envoy of Youquan was not present.
Finally, having received the news, Peak Master Qingxuan rushed over and led Xu Feng and the others to Nulong Peak.
Soon, inside the Hidden Dragon Hall.
Jiao Lin's face turned ashen.
He looked at the charred and mutilated severed arm in the hall, and at Xu Feng sitting below, his face pale.
Hearing the tearful report from the escaped bird expert, he gripped the dragon throne tightly with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead.
"—That's how it is..."
"That Fire Scale" harbored wolfish ambitions and actually colluded with the human race to suddenly launch a vicious attack.
Jinmu's failure to arrive in time led to Brother Qingyun's calamity and the deaths of several other brothers.
Jinmu has failed the Jiao King's trust; please punish him!
Xu Feng clasped his hands and bowed his head in apology, his shoulders trembling slightly, his face filled with humiliation.
The Peak Master of Qingxuan Peak had a solemn expression and kept sighing.
Jiao Lin remained silent, and the atmosphere inside the hall was terrifyingly tense.
His light, like a venomous snake, slowly swept across the severed arm, across the terrified bird-clan subordinate, and finally fixed itself on Xu Feng.
After a long silence, he turned to another high-ranking lord beside him and slowly spoke, his voice icy and devoid of any emotion: "Where is Huo Lin now?"
"I don't know," the man said, his face grim. "He went out this morning, saying he had something to do..."
"6
Jiao Lin took a deep breath and slowly tapped his fingers on the armrest of the dragon throne, producing a dull "tap-tap" sound.
Fire Kirin — Why does Fire Kirin rebel?
What's in it for?
Colluding with humans?
What benefit would it bring him?
Could it be that someone framed us?
His gaze once again pierced Xu Feng sharply.
Xu Feng met his gaze calmly, his eyes filled with grief, self-blame, and exhaustion, without flinching.
"Peak Master Qingxuan," Jiao Lin suddenly looked at the silent Qingxuan beside him, "what's your opinion on this matter?"
Peak Master Qingxuan frowned slightly and pondered, "Peak Master Qingyun is dead, and his subordinates have the same account as Peak Master Jinmu."
The Fire Scale Peak Master has gone missing. His disciples say he left the peak alone early this morning and his whereabouts are unknown.
'
She paused suddenly at this point.
A woman in green quickly entered the hall and whispered a few words in her ear.
Qingxuan nodded slightly, a sigh on his cold face: "The residual aura at the scene is chaotic, and there are indeed traces of human blood and qi left after a fierce battle."
If we say that Peak Master Huo Lin betrayed the sect, colluded with the human race, and murdered his colleagues, logically speaking—
It may seem unbelievable, but it's not entirely impossible.
Perhaps he was a spy planted by the human race? Or perhaps he was coerced?
She paused, then looked at Xu Feng: "Peak Master Jinmu risked his life to rescue us, and was seriously injured in the process. It is already remarkable that he was able to escape."
The most urgent task is to locate the Lord of Purgatory Peak, seal off the relevant areas, and thoroughly investigate the reasons for his betrayal and the movements of the human race.
Jiao Lin remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "As Peak Master Qingxuan said, immediately issue a warrant for arrest at the mountain gate."
Before the words were even finished, Huo Lin, the master of the Purgatory Peak, rushed over from outside the main hall: "King Jiao! I've heard someone is framing me!!"
Swish!
Everyone turned to look at the entrance of the main hall.
Jiao Lin abruptly stopped before he could finish his "wanted" notice. His dark golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and his sharp, knife-like gaze was fixed on Huo Lin, who had rushed into the hall.
Peak Master Qingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Xu Feng felt a slight chill, but his face displayed a complex expression that perfectly combined astonishment, anger, and vigilance.
His body tensed, and he instinctively gripped the knife at his waist, as if facing an extremely dangerous traitor who had just betrayed his colleague.
Xiaofeng and Cangya stepped forward, subtly shielding Xu Feng behind them, and glared angrily at Huolin.
"Fire Kirin?!"
Jiao Lin's voice was devoid of emotion, but every word seemed to be squeezed out from a crack in the ice.
"You've come at the right time; I was just looking for you."
Qingyun perished in the Valley of Burial Gods. His subordinates accused you of colluding with the human race to launch a surprise attack, causing his death.
What do you have to say?
Huo Lin's face was flushed with anger.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, clasped his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Huo Lin did indeed go out early this morning."
However, this was also because they received a secret report about fluctuations in the "Earth Core Flame Crystal" that appeared deep in the Burial God Valley, and went to investigate.
The deacons and several accompanying disciples of my peak can all testify to this!
He turned his gaze to Xu Feng and the bird-clan subordinate, his eyes burning with the anger of being wronged: "As for what collusion with the human race and the ambush of the Qingyun Peak Master?"
That's utter nonsense!
Although Huo Lin and the Qingyun Peak Master were not close, they were both under the command of the Jiao King and served the sect. What motive could there be for betrayal?
Not to mention colluding with humans, what benefit would that bring me?!
He stepped forward, his imposing aura overwhelming: "May I ask Peak Master Jinmu, do you have any witnesses or physical evidence to prove that I attacked Qingyun?"
Besides you and this guy who is obviously terrified, who else saw it with their own eyes?
On that battlefield, the atmosphere was chaotic, and illusions and disguises were not uncommon.
"How can we be sure it's not the cunning of the human race, disguised in my likeness, plotting to sow discord and frame me?!"
Huo Lin's words were sharp and his logic was clear.
Coupled with his furious and eager-to-defend demeanor, he genuinely seemed indignant at being wronged.
Xu Feng sneered inwardly. This Fire Kirin reacted quickly, denying everything and even blaming the human race for the blame.
However, this was exactly what he had expected.
It would seem illogical for Huo Lin to easily confess or be unable to defend himself.
Xu Feng's face darkened further: "Peak Master Huo Lin, you have quite the eloquence! Witnesses? Physical evidence?"
The situation was critical at the time. My brother Qingyun and I were surrounded and attacked by top human experts, and we were too busy to help each other.
How can I leave behind "ironclad evidence" of your betrayal? As for this brother—"
He looked at the bird-clan subordinate, who immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Although I did not see the attacker's full face, the crimson scales and lava aura are clearly characteristics of the Purgatory Peak lineage's techniques!"
He severely injured the peak master with a single blow, then turned and left without the humans giving chase! There's no mistake about it!
"If it weren't for Peak Master Jinmu risking his life to save me, I would have already perished on the spot. How dare I speak such nonsense!"
Huo Lin laughed in fury: "Crimson scales? Lava aura? Hmph! There are countless people in the world who cultivate fire-attribute techniques!"
There are treasures and secret techniques that can mimic appearance and aura! Do you think you can convict me based on these alone?
Peak Master Jinmu, you keep saying you'd risk your life to rescue him, so why did Brother Qingyun die and disappear without a trace, only bringing back a severed arm?
And you, though seemingly seriously injured, were able to retreat unscathed? Isn't there something fishy going on here?!
This statement almost directly points to problems with Hsu Feng as well.
"Bullshit!! You scoundrel! I'll kill you to avenge Brother Qingyun!!!"
Xu Feng immediately cursed loudly and strode towards Huo Lin.
"That's enough!"
Just then.
The Peak Master of Qingxuan Peak suddenly shouted coldly, silencing the crowd.
The atmosphere inside the Hidden Dragon Hall suddenly became even more tense, with both sides sticking to their own stories and attacking each other.
Jiao Lin listened expressionlessly, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the dragon throne.
He is weighing the options, making a judgment.
Peak Master Qingxuan spoke at the right moment, his voice clear and cold, breaking the stalemate: "Jiao King, what Peak Master Huolin said is not without reason. There are indeed many doubts about this matter."
Humans are cunning and adept at using divisive tactics.
The fall of the Qingyun Peak Master is a fact. The most urgent task is to find out the truth and apprehend the real culprit.
Instead of blaming each other, which only brings pain to our loved ones and pleasure to our enemies.
She looked at Xu Feng and said in a slightly gentler tone, "Peak Master Jinmu is still recovering from serious injuries, so it is understandable that he is emotionally agitated."
However, if the Fire Kirin Peak Master lacks conclusive evidence of betrayal and draws conclusions based solely on one-sided accounts during the chaos of war, it will likely be difficult to convince the public.
Jiao Lin stopped tapping on the handrail.
He gave Huo Lin a deep look, then glanced at Xu Feng, whose face was pale but whose eyes were stubborn, and finally his gaze fell on the severed arm.
"Fire Scale," Jiao Lin slowly spoke, "I will send someone to verify your whereabouts today."
Before the truth is revealed, you shall remain within the peak and not leave without permission. If you utter even the slightest falsehood—
His tone turned cold: "Purgatory Peak can have another peak master."
Huo Lin's face paled. He gritted his teeth, bowed, and said, "Huo Lin obeys! The innocent are innocent; I am willing to submit to the Dragon King's investigation!"
Jiao Lin stopped looking at him and turned his gaze to Xu Feng, his tone complicated: "Jin Mu, your injuries are serious. Go back to Jin Peng Peak and rest properly."
"I will personally investigate the matter of Qingyun and give you, and Qingyun, an explanation."
This may seem like a show of concern, but it is actually a way to temporarily set aside the controversy and let Hsu Feng "exit the stage".
However, Xu Feng suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.
A fierce and murderous aura suddenly rose up.
"Rest and recuperate?"
Xu Feng's voice suddenly rose, carrying the arrogance unique to the Golden-Winged Clan and the ferocity of a wounded raptor.
"Brother Qingyun's body is barely cold, and our enemies are still at large! If I, Jin Mu, were to cower and recuperate now, how could I stand between heaven and earth, how could I claim to be a descendant of the Golden Wings?!"
He stepped forward, his body swaying slightly, but his spine remained straight, and he looked directly at Jiao Lin: "Jiao King! Jin Mu requests permission! No need for rest."
Please send more people immediately. I want to personally lead the team back into the Valley of the Burial Gods!
Those despicable human scum who attacked and framed my colleagues must be dragged out and torn to pieces.
"I, Jinmu, swear I will not rest until I ascertain the authenticity of that 'Fire Scale'!"
He paused, then turned and gave Huo Lin a cold look.
"Brother Qingyun's revenge must be taken, but more importantly—this place must be reclaimed!"
My men, Jin Pengfeng's men, cannot die in vain!
I, Kaneki, cannot lose face like this!
The human race dared to ambush and kill my comrades, and frame my mountain peak master. Such a disgrace must be washed away with blood.
Where is the dignity of my Little Azure Sky Mountain?! What right do I, Jinmu, have to sit in this position of peak master?!
Swish!
The entire hall fell silent instantly.
Xiaofeng and Cangya's chests heaved, their emotions surging: "That's right! The Peak Master is absolutely right!"
Several high-ranking lords under Jiao Lin nodded in agreement, appearing to share a common hatred for the enemy.
Looking at Jin Mu, who was even somewhat aggressive, Jiao Lin's last bit of doubt quietly dissipated.
Yes, this is Kaneki.
A powerful, ruthless, arrogant, and vindictive individual.
He may be ambitious, or he may be difficult to control.
But he is by no means the kind of insidious person who would frame others.
He is more like a sharp yet direct double-edged sword.
"Get revenge?"
Jiao Lin's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, but also seemed somewhat helpless.
He was getting a little impatient.
He is currently at a critical juncture in his cultivation. Although one peak master has died, he has plenty of subordinates like him.
The key is the attitude of Peak Master Qingxuan.
"Peak Master Jinmu is commendable for his loyalty and bravery, and his fighting spirit is boundless. He is truly a role model for our sect."
Peak Master Qingxuan spoke up at the right moment, looking towards Jiaolin.
"However, Peak Master Jinmu's injuries have not yet healed, and it might be inappropriate for him to lead a team to explore the area alone. Perhaps—"
She turned her gaze to Huo Lin, whose face was pale: "Since Peak Master Huo Lin insists on his innocence, and Peak Master Jin Mu is determined to investigate, why not let Peak Master Huo Lin travel with Peak Master Jin Mu?"
Firstly, Peak Master Huolin can prove his innocence and assist in the investigation of the real culprit.
Secondly, traveling together would allow them to look out for each other, making it more secure. What does the Dragon King think?
How can we get two peak masters who are suspicious of each other and who were just having a heated confrontation in the hall to act together?
The expressions of the people inside the hall varied.
Huo Lin's expression changed, clearly indicating his extreme reluctance.
But seeing the gaze that Jiao Lin was casting, he could only grit his teeth and force himself to clasp his hands in a fist salute: "If it can help the sect find out the truth and clear its name, Huo Lin—I am willing to go."
Xu Feng sneered inwardly.
Qingxuan's move not only appeased himself but also placed Huo Lin under surveillance, and further balanced the two against each other.
His face revealed clear rejection and distrust, and he scoffed, "Travel with him? I'd probably get stabbed in the back again!"
Huo Lin immediately roared, glaring angrily, "You're talking nonsense! I..."
"Kaneki!"
Jiao Lin interrupted Huo Lin's words with a deep, authoritative voice.
"This matter is settled; Peak Master Qingxuan's arrangement is reasonable."
Your injuries haven't healed yet, you need help.
Huo Lin—whether he is innocent or not, this trip... will be the perfect opportunity to verify it.
The last four words, filled with murderous intent, made Huo Lin tremble.
Xu Feng then "reluctantly" suppressed his anger, clasped his hands and said, "Since the Flood Dragon King has given the order—Jin Mu obeys."
However, this trip is dangerous, and I need absolutely reliable people.
"I must deploy all the elite troops of Jinpeng Peak. In addition, I request that the Flood Dragon King allocate another team of skilled trackers and reconnaissance agents to my command!"
He was taking the opportunity to demand power and personnel, expand the team for this operation, and lay the groundwork for possible subsequent actions.
Jiao Lin pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Granted. I will order the Hidden Dragon Guard to dispatch a team of elite troops to your command."
They excel at stealth, tracking, and espionage—perfect for your needs.
The Hidden Dragon Guard is an elite intelligence and assassination force directly under Jiao Lin, holding a special position.
The transfer to Xu Feng was both a form of support and, arguably, a means of surveillance.
"Thank you, King Jiao!"
Xu Feng finally revealed a "ruthless" smile, as if he could already see the scene of his enemy being killed.
However, Peak Master Qingxuan glanced at Jiaolin, shook his head slightly, and seemed somewhat disappointed.
However, just when everyone thought the matter was settled, someone said, "Wait a minute."
Jiao Lin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke again.
He slowly rose from the dragon throne, his dark golden vertical pupils sweeping over Xu Feng and Huo Lin, and an even deeper and more domineering dragon aura emanated from him.
"Qingyun was a capable general under my command, yet he fell victim to an ambush by humans and the hands of a possible traitor."
Jiao Lin's voice was not loud, but it carried a sense of impending doom.
"If this grudge is not avenged, how can I maintain my dignity? What will become of the prestige of Wrathful Dragon Peak? After much thought, I've decided it's best if I investigate this matter myself!"
He paused, then said, word by word, "For this mission, I will personally accompany you."
He looked at Xu Feng, a cold smile curving his lips: "Peak Master Jinmu, didn't you want to get revenge? I, the King, will personally accompany you."
"Let's see which fools dare to play these tricks right under my nose!"
What?!
These words shocked the entire hall!
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Peak Master of Qingxuan Peak.
Huo Lin's expression changed drastically, and fear flashed in his eyes.
Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly suppressed it.
Jiao Lin is going in person?!
This was completely beyond his expectations!
But upon further reflection, Xu Feng understood Jiao Lin's intention.
Firstly, Qingyun's death did indeed touch upon Jiaolin's prestige, and he needed to personally take action to retaliate with overwhelming force, deterring villains and consolidating his authority.
Secondly, the clues to the ruins of the Burial Valley are becoming clearer, and Jiao Lin is probably itching to get a piece of the pie himself, or even to take control of the situation and prevent Jin Mu or others from getting there first.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, he is still not completely at ease.
Whether it's the Fire Scale, the Golden Wood, or the mysterious ruins, he wants to personally oversee them and control all variables.
As for the fourth...
Xu Feng glanced at the Qingxuan Peak Master, who was raising his eyebrows, and immediately understood.
Jiaolin is doing this to impress those above.
"King Jiao! Why must you risk your life for this? Your subordinates will do their utmost—" Huo Lin hurriedly advised.
"No need for further explanation."
Jiao Lin waved his hand to interrupt him, his gaze intense.
"My mind is made up. We will assemble and depart in three days."
Xu Feng's face lit up with excitement: "Since the Flood Dragon King is personally leading the charge, he will surely sweep away all demons and monsters!"
Huo Lin's spirits lifted. With the Flood Dragon King personally taking action, his safety was undoubtedly greatly increased, and his chances of making a contribution were also much greater. He quickly bowed.
66
Fire Kirin is willing to follow the Dragon King, even through fire and water!
Peak Master Qingxuan frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed softly: "With the Flood Dragon King going in person, there will be no worries."
However, please be careful. Since that human dared to set up such a conspiracy, they probably have a backup plan.
I will order the other peak masters to strengthen the defenses of the mountain gates and keep an eye on the movements around Burial God Valley.
"Thank you for your trouble, Peak Master Qingxuan," Jiao Lin nodded slightly, then waved his sleeve, "Go and prepare. We will meet at the mountain gate square in three days."
"yes!"
The group acknowledged the order and withdrew.
As Huo Lin stepped out of the Hidden Dragon Hall, he glanced coldly at Xu Feng, snorted, and left, clearly still furious.
Surrounded by Xiaofeng and the others, Xu Feng slowly walked towards Jinpeng Peak, his face "pale," his brows furrowed, and his mind racing.
Upon returning to Jinpeng Peak, Xu Feng immediately met with Li Wen.
Li Wen was also taken aback when he announced that Jiao Lin would be personally accompanying them.
"Jiao Lin going in person—the plan may change," Li Wen said in a deep voice.
Xu Feng's eyes were frighteningly calm: "I was just looking for an opportunity to take him down with me, but I didn't expect him to deliver himself to my doorstep."
"But if we do that...aren't you afraid of being exposed?" Li Wen frowned.
Something happened today, and now another thing has happened.
Moreover, Kaneki always survives, which makes anyone suspicious.
Xu Feng smiled slightly and looked at Li Wen: "So this time, we need to change our approach. If skirmishes won't work, why not launch a direct attack? Under the guise of being human."
Li Wen was immediately startled: "You mean...?"
""
Xu Feng said softly, "Hey, Little Green Sky Mountain isn't that big, but it's not that small either, and the surrounding areas are quite far apart."
If Jiaolin is attacked on Nulong Peak, it would be possible to kill him before the others arrive.
"With the elimination of two peak masters, Little Azure Sky Mountain will inevitably descend into chaos, and I will have the opportunity to climb even higher."
"It's a bit risky..." Li Wen said worriedly.
"Nonsense, I've come this far, what am I doing here if I don't take some risks?" Xu Feng waved his hand. "Let's get this over with quickly, I want to go home as soon as possible."
Li Wen gave him a deep look: "You seem... a little different than before."
"Nonsense," Xu Feng grinned, "Given the current situation in the dimensional world, what good would it do if I were to be as cautious as before?"
You can only do undercover work once. If you can't succeed this time, there's no chance you'll have to do it again.
If any of these peak masters breaks through to the Star God Realm, then the situation of our human race in the 13th Dimension will be completely ruined...
"...It's worth taking the risk!"
"Okay! I'll do whatever you say," Li Wen said, his gaze deep.
Xu Feng patted him on the shoulder: "Well, I just came to ask for your opinion and organize my thoughts. I don't need you to help. You can stay here."
"I—" Li Wen opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Xu Feng raising his hand.
Xu Feng laughed and said, "You can't help me right now, so hurry up and break through."
Li Wen was speechless for a moment.
He actually ended up being disliked because of his abilities?!
"You wait here." With that, he immediately walked towards the depths of the forbidden room.
"Uh, you, you wouldn't—" Xu Feng suddenly paused.
Li Wen said calmly, "Tomorrow morning, I will definitely reach the Ultimate War God level!"

Depend on.
