The cultivators all lowered their heads when they heard Sikong Qing's words, not daring to look him in the eye. However, none of them stepped forward. It was best to play dumb at a time like this. No matter how good the treatment was, they needed to be alive to take it. After all, they were not deathsworn soldiers of the Sikong clan.
Sikong Qing laughed from extreme anger. He nodded and said, "Good, good. The Sikong clan has raised you for nothing!"
Just as Sikong Qing was enraged, another old man stepped forward and said, "Forget it. Don't make things difficult for them. I'll give it a try."
Sikong Qing was slightly surprised and said, "Elder Feng, how can we let you take such a risk?"
Elder Feng was also a reclusive elder of the Sikong clan. He was of the same generation as Sikong Lin, but he was not a member of the Sikong clan. Instead, his surname was Wu.
Wu Feng smiled faintly and said, "I'm indebted to the patriarch's care. It's about time I put in some effort. I've lived for so long, so I won't have any regrets even if something happens to me. With the strength of these juniors, they'll only be sending themselves to their deaths if they go in. There's no need to force them. However, if anything happens to me, I hope the patriarch can take care of the juniors of my Wu clan. "
Sikong Qing's face was filled with seriousness as he said sincerely, "Elder Feng, why do you say that? Ignoring the fact that your strength might not be inferior to Lu Xuan's, you've risked your life for our Sikong clan all these years. Even if you don't say it, as long as the Sikong clan still exists, we will not mistreat the descendants of the Wu clan."
Wu Feng said nothing more. He clasped his hands at Sikong Qing and strode forward, making his way unhurriedly to the path of the huge tree. The cultivators of the Sikong clan looked at Wu Feng's back with gratitude and admiration. Only a senior like him was truly worthy of respect.
Sikong Qing turned to the cultivators as he watched Wu Feng leave. He snorted heavily and said, "I hope you don't let down Elder Feng's good intentions. It's precisely because of the existence of a senior like Elder Feng that the Eight Directions Sacred Hall has been able to stand tall all this time. It's also why you have a place to stand."
Wu Feng reached the entrance of the path of the huge tree and extended his hand. Indeed, there were no obstructions. Afterwards, he directly stepped in without any hesitation.
"An expert has arrived." Lu Xuan said in a low voice. Before his voice faded, Wu Feng's figure appeared before the two of them.
"Leave it to me. Just focus on dealing with the guy who's trying to break the formation," Ling Jin said to Lu Xuan while looking at Wu Feng.
After entering the Beast Trapping Formation, Wu Feng did not rush to make a move. Instead, he tilted his head to look at Lu Xuan, who was behind Ling Jin, and said with a smile, "You're Lu Xuan? When I was with the Sikong family, I had many dealings with your grandfather. However, I didn't know he was the former leader of the Jiuhua Alliance. I was only impressed by his unique understanding of martial arts. We hit it off quite well. It seems that the Ye Family has grown stronger with each generation. "
Lu Xuan did not expect Wu Feng to not be overbearing when he entered. He lowered his imposing manner and cupped his hands towards Wu Feng. "Thank you for your concern, senior. It's a pity that my grandfather will not have the opportunity to hear these words."
Wu Feng laughed heartily. "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. If we put aside our positions, I would still be quite willing to make friends with old leader Ye. It's a pity that we will be enemies the next time we meet."
When Lu Xuan heard this, he felt a little strange. He said that Ye Ruida had died and it was impossible to meet him again. But why did Wu Feng say that they would be enemies the next time they meet?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan could not help but ask, "Senior, didn't my grandfather die at the hands of Sikong Zhengqing in the previous battle? Why do you sound like …"
Wu Feng was taken aback. "Died? Who said that? It's true that your grandfather was heavily injured at the hands of Sikong Zhengqing, but your Ye Family's ancestor, Sword Demon Ye Wenjun, rushed over and saved him in time. Could it be that something happened to him after he returned? "
Lu Xuan was at first shocked, but then overjoyed. "You're saying that my grandfather was saved by my great-uncle? He didn't die? Sikong Dong lied to me? "
Wu Feng laughed heartily. Stroking his beard, he said, "Then I'm guessing Elder Dong deliberately provoked you. Since he was saved by the Sword Demon, I'm sure he won't die."
Suddenly receiving this great news, Lu Xuan was so happy he wanted to jump in joy. He had always thought that Ye Ruida died to save him, and his heart was filled with self-blame and anger. He never thought that it was all a lie from Sikong Dong.
"So my grandfather didn't die. That's wonderful! Thank you for telling me the truth, senior. " Lu Xuan once again cupped his hands and said sincerely, "If senior is willing to come to my Jiuhua Alliance, the entire Jiuhua Alliance will welcome you with open arms. I'm sure my grandfather would be very happy to see his old friend."
Wu Feng smiled and shook his head. "You don't need to say more. I'm not like those young juniors who can be swayed by a few words. Since I'm a member of the Sikong family, I will stand on their side. I only spoke a few words with you because of my relationship with your grandfather."
Sikong Qing heard Wu Feng's words loud and clear. When he heard that Wu Feng and Lu Xuan were chatting happily, he was on tenterhooks. Now that he heard Wu Feng's words, Sikong Qing was finally relieved.
"Alright, now that you're done talking, there's no harm in letting me see the strength of a descendant of the Ye family. I've long heard that you're known as the God of Slaughter. It's a pity that I didn't get the chance to meet you in battle a few months ago. Today, I've come to ask for your guidance. " As Wu Feng spoke, he unsheathed a thin longsword. With a light shake, he assumed a fighting stance.
Seeing Wu Feng's attitude, Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. He knew he wouldn't be able to persuade him. For someone like Wu Feng, there were too many things to consider. He wouldn't be swayed by a few words. He wasn't just thinking about himself, he was also thinking about the juniors of the Wu family. He couldn't leave the Sikong family's side.
"If you want to fight him, you'll have to get past me first." Ling Jin snorted coldly and once again stood in front of Lu Xuan.
But this time, Lu Xuan stopped Ling Jin and said, "Since senior has come especially for me, then I can't refuse your kindness in telling me the truth. Ling Jin, rest for a moment. If I'm not strong enough, then you can take over. "
Although Wu Feng didn't understand Ling Jin's words, he could roughly guess from Lu Xuan's actions. He nodded slightly and thought even more highly of Lu Xuan in his heart.
Ling Jin said worriedly, "If you deal with him, then what about the fellow who broke the formation?"
"Don't worry, he's spying on my formation. It's not that I'm arrogant, but with his strength, it's far from enough to deduce the structure of the formation."
Since Lu Xuan said so, Ling Jin didn't say anything else. She took two steps back and gave the slightly more spacious space in front of her to Lu Xuan and Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan casually handed the Tree of Life to Ling Jin and took out the Masked Sword. Judging from Wu Feng's appearance, it was obvious that he was also someone who studied the way of the sword. He would have to bring out 120% of his strength in this battle.
