Shen Tianlong's master broke through to the Dao Heaven Realm and then thought of breaking free from the control of the underground powerhouse.

However, Shen Tianlong's master overestimated his own strength and underestimated the powerful figure hiding beneath the Life Dao Sect.

Finally, Shen Tianlong's master was captured by an underground powerhouse, whose life force and cultivation were completely devoured.

Shen Tianlong, who was hiding to the side, could not be kept in the dark and was discovered by this underground expert.

This powerful underground figure did not kill Shen Tianlong, but chose to keep him alive and make him work for him.

Shen Tianlong is loyal to the underground powerhouses and is completely obedient to them.

Several hidden Dao Heaven Realm experts within the Life Dao Sect were all killed.

There has long been a legend that bad luck will occur when one's cultivation breaks through to the Dao Heaven Realm.

This has led many powerful cultivators who have broken through to the Dao Heaven Realm to suppress their cultivation at the late stage of the Stepping Heaven Realm.

If Shen Tianlong wants to achieve something, he definitely has to achieve something.

Now that his own cultivation has broken through to the Dao Heaven Realm, he can't help but feel a little worried.

Fearing that some powerful figure might attack him, Shen Tianlong deliberately suppressed his cultivation to the Heavenly Ascension Realm.

However, he didn't know if his method of suppressing his cultivation level could conceal it from the powerful figures underground.

Shen Tianlong was also quite careful when observing Ye Xin.

If Shen Tianlong were to discover that Ye Xin was a hidden old monster, he would choose to protect himself immediately.

Then, whether he chooses to tell the one who is loyal to the strong depends on how much of a threat "Ye Xin" poses.

Shen Tianlong examined "Ye Xin" carefully again but found nothing wrong.

"Lin Shanhe provoked you, but he wasn't strong enough to kill you. He was the only one who couldn't do it. Can you describe the specific details of the battle?"

Shen Tianlong felt that he couldn't see the problem by looking, so he wanted to find out from Ye Xin's questions that something was wrong.

"There's nothing to say."

Han Feng spread his hands and said arrogantly, "I can only say that Lin Shanhe is a piece of trash. I only used one sword strike and he was killed by me."

“My disciple Lin Shanhe is a rare genius in the Life Dao Sect. How could he be so easily defeated? You must have used some despicable means, otherwise how could my disciple have died?”

The withered tree monk felt a pain in his heart.

The constant pain in his heart was driving him to the brink of collapse.

He had spent so much time and effort training his disciple, only to have him killed by Ye Xin.

What the withered tree master found most unbearable was that Lin Shanhe was already dead, but to have his corpse whipped was unacceptable.

“You have a problem with me the moment I mention Lin Shanhe, a very big problem with me. It seems you are Lin Shanhe’s master.” Han Feng asked, frowning.

"You guessed right, I am indeed Lin Shanhe's master, one of the dozen or so Supreme Elders. With me here, my disciple will not have died in vain. I will definitely seek justice for you," said the withered tree master proudly.

He didn't forget to exude a powerful aura, hoping to intimidate Han Feng.

However, the hermit overestimated himself.

His cultivation level was in the late stage of the Heavenly Ascension Realm, and the aura he exuded was quite terrifying.

If it were an ordinary Dao Realm expert, they would probably be scared to death by the withered tree master.

Unfortunately, the withered tree master encountered Han Feng, so his so-called intimidation had little effect.

"Master Kumu, I think you need to be more low-key."

Han Feng offered a concerned reminder.

"What's the meaning?"

"Master Kumu frowned and said."

"Think about it, your disciple was so weak, and I, someone who just broke through to the Dao Universe Realm, killed him with a single sword strike."

Han Feng said with great concern, "People say that a disciple can best see a master's level. If your disciple is so weak, you, the master, must also be weak. If you have a conflict with someone, it's best to swallow your anger."

"I'm afraid that if you get into a conflict with someone, that person might kill you in a fit of rage. There's a saying that suffering a loss is a blessing, and it's always better to live than to lose your life. Am I right?"

"You're asking for death!"

"The withered tree master said through gritted teeth."

He had already cursed "Ye Xin" a thousand times in his heart; this "Ye Xin" was simply too much.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious, I just can't hold it in anymore."

"I always thought Senior Brother Ye was a cold and aloof person, but it seems I was wrong. Senior Brother Ye is not only not cold and aloof, but also quite funny."

"Master Kumu is a Supreme Elder. I used to have great respect for him, thinking that someone who could reach the rank of Supreme Elder must be a person with great supernatural powers. But when I learned that he had taught a disciple like Lin Shanhe, I immediately lost all goodwill towards him."

"Like master, like disciple. If Lin Shanhe is like this, what good thing could the withered tree master be?"

...

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The withered tree master began to doubt life, and then changed his mind.

What he finds most unbearable right now is watching Han Feng mock him, yet being unable to kill him.

"Master Qingwu, this is the good disciple you've taught! I've seen it for myself!" Master Kumu roared.

"No need to thank me. My disciple has always respected the elderly and cared for the young. This is just him showing concern for you," said the Azure Mist Celestial with a smile.

"Sect Master, Ye Xin is unruly and openly mocks the Supreme Elder. He must be taught a lesson, otherwise the Supreme Elder's dignity will be compromised."

The withered tree master could only seek help from Shen Tianlong.

"Alright, as an elder, you shouldn't be disciplining a junior. If there's nothing else, let's call it a day."

Shen Tianlong said somewhat impatiently.

Who is this person I've been trying to win over? Why do I have to step in and reprimand a junior?

If you want to kill "Ye Xin", it's very simple; you can just find an opportunity.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The withered tree master sensed Shen Tianlong's impatience and dared not say anything more.

"Let's leave it at that. Lin Shanhe and Ye Xin agreed to the fight and signed a life-and-death contract. Lin Shanhe's death is no one's fault but his own. Both Lin Shanhe and Ye Xin are rare talents in the sect. The death of the latter is a huge loss to the sect."

Shen Tianlong said to Elder Wu, "In the future, if any disciples engage in a life-or-death duel, you must inform me immediately, and it can only proceed with my permission."

"Yes, Master."

Elder Wu nodded and said.

The withered tree master wanted to say a few more words, but after meeting Shen Tianlong's gaze, he closed his mouth again.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Han Feng came up to Shen Ruke.

"I wonder if Senior Sister Shen has time to go sightseeing with me."

Han Feng extended an invitation.

"Damn, Senior Brother Ye is really ruthless. Sect Master Shen hasn't even left yet, and he's already starting to pursue her so eagerly."

"Senior Brother Ye is the role model for us all. I have finally found out why I have cultivated for millions of years but still do not have a Daoist partner. It turns out that I am not bold enough."

"Senior Sister Shen is my goddess. I would object to anyone else pursuing her, but I have no objection to Senior Brother Ye pursuing her."

...

Everyone admired Han Feng greatly.
