Daoist Feng's heart skipped a beat. He was quite knowledgeable. He could tell that this person's cultivation level was much higher than his when he saw the person's aura.
It was impossible for this person to be friendly to him. Ever since he joined the Hao Clan, he had killed countless cultivators. There were only enemies and no comrades-in-arms.
Moreover, how could this person appear here at such a coincidence? He guessed that it might be one of the great cultivators from the Six Sects beyond the Heavens. He saw that he was out alone and came to capture him.
While he was secretly regretting, he also had a sudden realization. The "Soaring Sky Divination" should be here! He could not help but feel vexed. He was right again, but he could not see through it.
However, he could not be blamed. He knew that the other party's cultivation level was much higher than his. Being able to deduce it was already a great achievement.
Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, his reaction was not slow at all. The moment he saw Zhang Yu's shadow form, he had already started channeling his mana. Then, with a loud bang, he turned into thousands of blood shadows and ran in different directions. He wanted to use this method to get rid of the person in front of him.
Zhang Yu's clone stood still, but a ray of divine light flashed through his eyes. With the help of the eye mark, he immediately saw the location of Daoist Feng's Yin Yang Cardinal Point.
This supernatural power could be sensed by an ordinary Xuan Zun. However, in his eyes, it was motionless, waiting for him to take it.
After he saw it, he did not summon his sword. Instead, he raised his sleeve and used his finger as a sword. He drew a line in the air. As his sleeve fluttered, a bright light that distinguished Yin and Yang flashed.
At this moment, those blood shadows were still maintaining their fleeing movements, but at this moment, all of them seemed to be in a state of panic as they scattered one after another. It was as if the sand on the shore had been pushed over by a tidal wave.
Daoist Feng felt empty in his heart. He looked down in surprise and realized that his body was slowly drifting away like gravel. He knew that his divine body had been killed.
When he came to his senses, he realized that the person who came to kill him had a high level of cultivation. It was far beyond his imagination.
In next to no time, only his head remained, and his consciousness became dazed. Before he left, he sighed endlessly in his heart. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a suitable successor. Not to mention the cultivation techniques I possessed, only my peerless divination technique wasn't able to be passed down, and it had actually become extinct at this point. What a pity this is!
With this thought in mind, his figure completely disappeared in the wind.
Zhang Yu's shadow form flicked his sleeve and destroyed everything that came with him. Then, he turned into a ray of starlight and dissipated.
At the same time, the blood seeds that Daoist Feng had buried in all the lands exploded one by one. Each blood seed had his essence, primordial spirit, and spirit attached to it. Usually, even if his body was killed, he could use this to recover. However, this time, because his life force was cut off, and he couldn't entrust his spirit to the void, he couldn't recover by himself.
Every time a distorted face appeared from the blood seed, it would explode. Every time it exploded, it would set off an earth-shattering explosion.
This was caused by Daoist Feng's temperament. Even if he died, he would drag many people down with him. He did not care about ordinary people and did not care about how many people died. Therefore, he set up the blood seeds in important places, such as the Creation Chamber, the Ring Hall, the mansions of the rich and powerful, or the possession of a person or object.
It was not limited to King Xi's territory. Even the Elder Group and King Lie's territories had set up the blood seeds. Moreover, there were many of them. As a result, one could see that on the entire continent, massive explosions had occurred at almost the same time. Moreover, all of them had occurred from within. This had indeed caused a huge commotion.
One of the blood seeds was buried in a hut floating beside King Xi's royal boat. As the blood shadow expanded and was about to explode, a skinny Daoist sitting in the royal boat was the first to realize that something was wrong. He opened his eyes, raised his hand, and pushed outwards. A gentle wave of mana rippled outwards.
The flying hut was swept away and immediately fell to the ground. However, before it completely landed, there was a huge explosion in mid-air. A blood-red brilliance burst forth. Everywhere that was affected by this light was covered in a layer of red.
The surface of the flying boats in midair flickered with spiritual light. Apart from King Xi's royal boat, which remained motionless, the other flying boats began to shake violently.
This sound spread far and wide in the night sky. Even the defending troops of Spirit Corner City, who were on the opposite side of the defensive line, could hear it clearly. It also caused a lot of commotion.
King Xi wore a mighty pitch-black armor and floated out of the royal boat. However, his expression under the armor was not very good. To a certain extent, this sound was to disturb the morale of the troops. As the commander-in-chief, he had to stand out and let everyone know that he was unharmed. This was to prevent any unforeseen events from happening in the army.
Therefore, he did not retreat. Instead, he stood outside and ordered his subordinates to send away the people who came to inquire about the situation. He also asked them to continue to strengthen their vigilance.
The commotion caused by the explosion finally calmed down at dawn. However, the blood seed explosion was not without any losses. Within a radius of a hundred miles, at least ten flying boats were directly destroyed. More than a hundred flying boats were tainted with blood and crashed from the sky. Most of the people inside were also tainted with blood poison and lost their ability to fight.
This was no less than the loss of a small battle. If this thing had directly exploded beside the royal boat, then the royal boat would have been damaged. It was likely that it would have caused an even greater commotion in the army.
Following a wisp of green smoke, the skinny Daoist appeared beside King Xi.
King Xi asked politely, "Sage Wei, how is the situation?"
Daoist Wei's skin was tightly pressed against his face. His eye sockets were deeply sunken and he looked extremely frightening. However, the people around him all looked at him with reverence. This was because this person was very likely the only Hao Clan clansman who had entered a sect and cultivated to the upper realm. Of course, only King Xi knew his real name.
Daoist Wei's voice was hoarse as if it was rubbing against his skin. "I've investigated. The blood seed that Feng Jian buried exploded. The blood seed was originally used by him to avoid death and extend his life. If he died, then the essence of the blood seed would be reborn. I'm afraid there's more than one of these things. However, the blood seed placed here should be relatively important. Therefore, I'm guessing that if he doesn't return in a few days, then he's very likely dead."
At this moment, his voice was filled with disdain. "I already knew that he would end up like this. With his actions, this was something that would happen sooner or later."
King Xi's expression immediately became somewhat gloomy. He had sent Daoist Feng to deal with Zhu Zonghu. Only a day had passed, yet he had died so quickly. This was enough to prove that not only did Mian Lu City have the ability to resist the upper realm's power, but they also dared to oppose him. This made him feel as if his authority was being challenged.
He asked, "Sage Wei, in your opinion, what do you think of the person who could defeat and kill Feng Zhidao?"
Daoist Wei said, "I can easily suppress Feng Shou in battle, but I can't guarantee that I can kill him. The person who could defeat and kill him isn't simple. In terms of cultivation, they shouldn't be weaker than me. However, if they didn't rely on cultivation, but rather some kind of magic tool or formation, it's also possible. "
King Xi calmly nodded.
Based on this, it was no longer appropriate to continue dealing with Mian Lu City first.
However, it wasn't because he was afraid. Even the Six Sects beyond the Heavens had been forced to retreat beyond the heavens by the Hao Clan, so he naturally wouldn't attach too much importance to Mian Lu City because of this. It was just that he had to be careful about how he dealt with this place.
It wasn't easy to take down someone who held the upper realm's power. The city could be breached, but if this kind of person were to cause trouble for them at this time, they would also tie down a portion of their power.
He truly hadn't expected that Zhu Zonghu would grow to this extent right under his nose. However, as the sect king, he had plenty of methods. Since he couldn't take him down directly, he would use another method. Martial strength was only one of the methods to subdue unruly people and ensure one's status. However, martial strength wasn't the only way to achieve one's goal.
He immediately called for Sir Chen, and said, "Go to Bian Ye's office and tell him that I'm giving him a chance. If he admits his wrongs this time and tries to make him hand over the power in his hands, I can let bygones be bygones and treat him like before."
He was certain that Zhu Banye feared him and must also be aware that he couldn't contend against him on his own. As long as he was a little more forceful, he might be able to make Zhu Banye back down. What couldn't be obtained through martial strength could be obtained through light documents.
Sir Chen understood tacitly and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Deterrence was actually very useful, especially on the side who held the upper hand. Zhu Banye himself was forceful, but that didn't mean that everyone under him was. As long as he promised them benefits, he could break them down. This wasn't the first time he had used this method.
At this time, in Mian Lu City, Yin Huanting and the other Xuanxiu received a message from the buoy. It said that the evil cultivator had disappeared before he even left the buoy's range. This was very abrupt because there wasn't any fluctuation of transcendence energy at that time. It didn't seem like he had used a divine ability to leave.
Yin Huanting didn't know why, but at this moment, he thought of that Sir Tao. He pondered in his heart and said, "Since he has already left, then there's no need to investigate anymore. We just have to be prepared."
Someone said, "Fellow Daoist, are you saying that King Xi will send more people?"
Yin Huanting said, "I don't know what other tricks King Xi will use, but this time, we have shown our strength. If he wants to deal with us, then he should think twice. I think that he won't use forceful methods again when he comes down, because we already have the strength to threaten his rear. Before the war ends, we should be safe."
Most people agreed with this view.
With the strength that they had shown, they would need to mobilize a group of people from the upper echelons to deal with them. King Xi definitely wouldn't ignore the army at the front and turn around to deal with them first.
Another person said, "There's one more thing, Yin Xuanxiu. From what we can see, the item that Fellow Daoist Ying needs is very difficult to obtain. Should we let him wait, or …"
Yin Huanting said solemnly, "Whatever Fellow Daoist Ying needs, we have to do everything possible to obtain it." He paused and said in a very confident tone, "Fellow Daoist Ying is a fellow Daoist who is very skilled in Dao. I think that among the people who are most likely to break through to the upper realm when he comes down, he will definitely be one of them."
