Blood Spirit was the Blood Fiend Sect's Grand Elder, a peak Imperishable Realm expert who had cemented Blood Fiend Sect's position as the hegemon.
Within the city lord's estate, the Zhao clan members realized that the situation was extremely bad.
First, Zhao Balong's sudden attack had inflicted significant damage on them.
Then, Blood Spirit hid in Zhao Balong's residence and attacked their Grand Elder, injuring him.
Originally, the battle prowess of the Supreme Elder and Master Blood Spirit should have been equally matched. However, at this moment, there was a discrepancy, which was enough to influence the outcome of the battle.
"Zhao Balong, you actually …!"
The Grand Elder furiously pointed at Zhao Balong, his body trembling.
He had never imagined that the Zhao clan would be destroyed at the hands of someone surnamed Zhao.
"The city lord is in danger …!"
An elder's expression changed slightly, and he was filled with worry.
City Lord Zhao Tianlong had led many experts to Blood Fiend Sect to negotiate peace, but it had all been a trap.
And because of the Blood Vein Array, they had found it difficult to break out and send word.
"Relax, the Blood Fiend Sect can't deal with Zhao Tianlong right now, but once you're dead, he'll join you!"
Zhao Balong heartily laughed.
As long as he could capture Zhao Feng, he didn't need to worry that Zhao Tianlong wouldn't return. Thus, he planned to wait for Zhao Feng to return before carrying out the rebellion.
Within the city lord's estate, the Zhao clan members had gathered in the rear.
Although they were trapped by the array and unable to send word, the other people in Southcloud City would definitely notice, and Zhao Tianlong would soon learn of this.
They could only do their utmost to defend and buy time until Zhao Tianlong returned. Only then would they have a chance at survival.
"Do it, Blood Spirit!"
Zhao Balong wickedly smiled.
"Haha, there's no need for you to tell me!"
Blood Spirit licked his bewitching red lips, his scarlet eyes staring at the Grand Elder, seething with killing intent. Boom!
Bang!
Suddenly, a bloody mist surged out of Blood Spirit's body, condensing into a savage maw. Blood-red teeth gleamed with cold light.
"Kill!"
Without any hesitation, Master Blood Spirit dashed out and pointed his finger at the grand elder, causing his blood-colored mouth to snap open.
The Great Elder's face darkened, and a dazzling golden light burst out of the longsword in his hand, slashing out a magnificent and domineering sword light.
Boom! Bang!
The terrifying shockwave of a peak Imperishable Realm martial practitioner caused many people nearby to retreat.
On the other side, Zhao Balong was fighting with the Zhao clan elders.
"Surrender now, and I can still spare your lives!"
Zhao Balong savagely laughed in satisfaction.
"Dream on!"
A white-haired old woman shouted angrily. She waved the wooden staff in her hand and sent out a ball of dazzling white light.
"Scram!"
Zhao Balong furiously snorted and unleashed a massive golden-red palm. This palm of light was astonishing and exuded an intimidating baleful aura.
"This Zhao Balong is extremely strong to begin with, and he cultivates Bloodfiend Sect's secret arts. His strength has risen to a whole new level. Other than Zhao Tianlong and the Grand Elder, no one is a match for him!"
The white-haired old woman's face froze, and she sighed in her heart.
The golden-red killing intent instantly dispersed the dazzling white light. Then, it smashed through the other elders' attacks and whizzed away.
Even when the elders joined forces, they were still no match for him.
Zhao Balong's talent was no less than Zhao Tianlong's. It was just that he was too domineering, which was why the position of patriarch had been passed to him.
Now that he cultivated Bloodfiend Sect's secret arts, he could absorb the energy of others. He was skilled in group battles, and the more he fought, the more valiant he became.
On the other side, a fat man charged at Zhao Feng.
"Haha, a mere child actually wants me to personally take action? Zhao Balong thinks too highly of him!"
The fat man had a large belly, and his aura was as imposing as a mountain as he pressed down on Zhao Feng.
As a peak Divine Transformation Realm expert, he could kill a Violet Qi Realm cultivator with a single breath.
"Just obediently wait for your capture!"
The fat man savagely smiled.
"Impudent!"
Zhao Feng calmly took out three puppets from his storage dimension.
Two of them were black metal puppets and one was a wooden puppet. The moment they appeared, certain parts of the puppets' bodies flashed with light, and they flew at the fat man.
"These are … Divine Transformation Realm puppets, and … Imperishable Realm puppets!"
The fat man's expression changed as he sucked in a cold breath. The fat on his body trembled, and his heart thumped in fear.
He had never imagined that a mere Violet Qi Realm cultivator would have so many powerful puppets.
"Run!"
This was the only thought left in the fat man's mind.
He could fight against Divine Transformation Realm puppets, but he was helpless against Imperishable Realm puppets.
Thwish!
The ordinary wooden puppet floated toward the fat man. A round hole appeared in the center of its palm, from which a crystalline white light burst forth.
"No …!"
The fat man screamed in fear.
He had underestimated the Imperishable Realm puppets that Zhao Feng had refined!
Brrrooom!
Several crystalline white lights pierced through the fat man's body, forming a white ball of light that gradually devoured him.
Soon after, the other two puppets arrived.
A few moments later, not even a scrap of the fat man remained.
In the sky, many experts who were fighting noticed this scene.
"That's … Zhao Feng!"
Quite a few elders noticed Zhao Feng.
A single Violet Qi Realm cultivator was truly insignificant in this rebellion, not enough to attract their attention.
However, a peak Divine Transformation Realm expert had died because of Zhao Feng.
"So many puppets!"
Zhao Balong's eyes flashed with cold light. He finally understood why the assassin had died.
Any Divine Transformation Realm cultivator would be doomed if surrounded by these three puppets.
"Since that's the case, I'll personally take action!"
Zhao Balong furiously snorted and exploded with all his strength, injuring several elders as he charged at Zhao Feng.
"Feng 'er, careful!"
"Zhao Balong, you dare attack a child? You're inhuman!"
The elders roared, but they were powerless to stop Zhao Balong.
Zhao Feng calmly took out three more puppets from his interspatial dimension, two at the peak Divine Transformation Realm and one at the middle stage of the Imperishable Realm.
"You actually have more? Then give them all to me!"
Zhao Balong heartily laughed.
He was at the peak of the Imperishable Realm and extremely powerful. Of the six puppets, only two were at the Imperishable Realm, so he could easily deal with them.
In addition, he was extremely interested in these puppets, which was why he was personally taking action.
Zhao Balong was about to reach Zhao Feng, and it seemed like he could kill the weak Zhao Feng in a single breath.
But at this moment:
"You dare to take my things?"
An indistinct soul voice seemed to come from the endless void, exploding in Zhao Balong's mind.
This terrifying Soul Intent caused Zhao Balong's soul to tremble, and he almost knelt in the air as he sensed an inviolable aura.
"Se … Junior … Spare …"
Zhao Balong stubbornly held on, barely managing to spit out a few words.
"You wanted to kill me! How could I spare you?!"
The Soul Intent resounded once more, shocking Zhao Balong to the core. He stared at Zhao Feng, his eyes wide.
A moment later, that terrifying Soul Intent exploded in his mind, inflicting a destructive blow on his soul and causing him to fall unconscious. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The six puppets charged forward, heedless of everything else.
Just like that, Zhao Balong was slain by the six puppets.
Of course, this was mainly because Zhao Balong's soul had been heavily injured by Zhao Feng, which was why the puppets were able to kill him so easily.
But the others couldn't see this.
"This … what's going on?"
"What happened just now?"
Everyone's heart shuddered. They gasped and revealed expressions of disbelief.
For some reason, Zhao Balong had suddenly stopped moving in the air, and then all the puppets had charged forward and killed him.
This was truly inconceivable and incomprehensible.
"This … what's going on?"
Blood Spirit, who was fighting with the Grand Elder, was also stunned.
A peak Imperishable Realm expert of the same cultivation level as him had died in such a bizarre manner. His heart chilled and his hair stood on end.
Losing a peak Imperishable Realm expert not only put them at a disadvantage, but Blood Spirit was even more afraid that he would also die in such a bizarre manner.
"It's your turn now!"
A soul voice exploded in Blood Spirit's mind, causing his mind to buzz and his body to wobble.
"Senior … spare me …"
A moment later, Blood Spirit's heart thumped in fear as he knelt in the air.
He could sense that if the other party wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
"This …"
Everyone else was frozen to the spot, their faces stiff as they stared at Blood Spirit, confused as to what was going on.
"Many thanks for Senior's assistance!"
The Grand Elder's eyes turned as he spoke in a sonorous voice.
He guessed that there had to be an expert helping from the shadows. Perhaps Zhao Balong's death had been caused by this senior.
"Spare you?"
A cold and disdainful voice resounded in Blood Spirit's mind.
This voice caused all the hairs on Blood Spirit's body to stand on end, and a chilling sensation of death spread through his body. He felt like he could already see the gates of hell.
Blood Spirit's entire body trembled, and he didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, I'll spare your life. Wait thirty thousand li east of Southcloud City!"
Zhao Feng coldly snorted.
"Many thanks for Senior's kindness in sparing my life!"
All of a sudden, Master Blood Spirit felt that all the pressure and crisis had been swept away.
Without saying a word, Master Blood Spirit flew off into the distance with fear in his heart.
Crack!
The Blood Vein Array around the city lord's estate also shattered.
"Kill the traitors and Bloodfiend Sect members!"
The Grand Elder's expression changed and he shouted loudly.
He, the other elders, and the Zhao clan members launched a counterattack. A few moments later, all the traitors and Bloodfiend Sect members had been killed.
Just like that, the crisis of the clan had been resolved!
A little while later, Zhao Tianlong hurried back with some of his clansmen, and when he saw the result, he was left dumbfounded.
In the secret chamber:
"Feng 'er, where did you get these puppets?"
Zhao Tianlong's face was grim.
The other upper echelon elders and the Grand Elder were all staring at Zhao Feng.
"Half a year ago, I ran into a mysterious elder. He took me as his disciple and would occasionally visit me to teach me a few things. He predicted that my clan would encounter a crisis, so he gave me these puppets to protect my life …."
Zhao Feng immediately made up a lie, pointing the spearhead at a person that didn't even exist.
"It seems that your mysterious master helped you from the shadows!"
Zhao Tianlong nodded, inwardly overjoyed that his son had encountered such a fortuitous encounter.
"The heavens are protecting my Zhao clan, hahaha!"
The Grand Elder also heartily laughed, a look of praise on his face as he looked at Zhao Feng.
No one would suspect a fifteen-year-old boy at the peak of the Violet Qi Realm.
A month later, Zhao Feng bid farewell to his parents and said that his mysterious master had a task for him.
Without hesitation, the clan immediately agreed.
Thus, Zhao Feng and Huo Qingfeng left Southcloud City. Their destination: Sunharbor City.
