As soon as he emerged from the ruins, Li Jingxiao suddenly rolled over and stood up, anxiously looking around.

No!

Why is there no sect leader?

He was about to question Xuan Yanhuang, but was startled by the several murderous auras that rushed towards him.

"Who...who are you?"

"The Overlord Realm?"

The leaders of the various factions exchanged glances, their expressions revealing their surprise.

"What? Only at the Overlord Realm?"

"How did Li Jingxiao's cultivation level drop to this level!"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Li Jingxiao's face turned extremely ugly, but he still repeated, "Who are you!"

"You bastard!"

The elder in the lead had a fiery temper. He grabbed the man by the collar and asked in a cold voice, "I'm asking you, did you kill my Zong Tianjiao in the ruins?"

Li Jingxiao's expression changed.

This is a case of settling scores after the fact!

By the way, some sect disciples will leave their life tablet inside the ancestral hall after entering the sect. The life tablet is divided into a mother tablet and a child tablet. The mother tablet is in the ancestral hall, while the child tablet is carried by the disciple at all times. If the disciple encounters an accident, the child tablet will immediately transmit the situation to the mother tablet, so that the elder in charge of the corresponding affairs in the sect will know the situation in an instant.

He can no longer hide the fact that he killed his disciple!

So what!

Li Jingxiao gritted his teeth and said, "So what if I killed them! They deserved it! They overestimated themselves and dared to oppose me!"

"I advise you to let me go right now! Otherwise, once the sect leader arrives, none of you old geezers will escape!"

"Well, you still dare to be arrogant in front of us!"

The old man snorted coldly, but what he said made Li Jingxiao feel incredulous.

"As for the sect leader? You wouldn't be talking about that old dog Tian Yusheng, would you?"

"To tell you the truth, Tian Yusheng was secretly researching demonic arts and even attempted to assassinate the leaders of other forces. We've already apprehended him! Under the influence of the Truth-Expelling Pill, that old dog has confessed to his crimes!"

"As a disciple of the Tian Shu Sect, you deserve to be punished!"

What? !

Li Jingxiao was instantly stunned, as if struck by lightning.

What do you mean by secretly researching demonic and evil arts?

What does this mean?

"Speaking of which, you're really stupid. Looking at the condition of your meridians, humph... I bet you've been used as a guinea pig by Tian Yusheng quite a bit, and you still treat him like family. You're utterly stupid!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Li Jingxiao's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't believe it. He began to struggle desperately in the old man's hands.

"Impossible! I want to see the sect leader! Let me see the sect leader!"

"The sect leader must have been framed by Emperor Xuan Yan! You people claim to be righteous, but in reality you are aiding and abetting evil!"

"You bunch of bastards! Let me go!"

The old man sneered and slapped him unconscious to stop the boy from making any more noise.

[The protagonist's Dao heart has been destroyed, with no possibility of reconstruction. Reward: Destiny Points!]

Lin Feng waved his hand and said calmly, "Lock him in the dynasty's prison first. As for the grudge of your sect's disciples being killed, I will give you a chance to take revenge."

"Thank you, young master!"

The group bowed and expressed their gratitude.

Upon returning to the Xuan Yan Dynasty, Xia Shiying immediately recounted her experience to the Xuan Yan Emperor.

"It's alright. Exploring ruins is inherently very uncertain. If we don't get anything good, that's fine. Whatever you need, I'll have someone send it to Chang Le Palace later."

Xuan Yan Huang waved his hand, his mind not on that.

He glanced at Shen Xiaohong, seemingly unintentionally. Although their Xuan Yan Dynasty had kept its promise and provided assistance to Shen Xiaohong within the ruins, the Shen Hong Blade had not ended up in Shen Xiaohong's hands; instead, it had been taken by Lin Feng…

To be honest, Xuan Yanhuang, with his keen sixth sense, always felt that Lin Feng had pulled some strings behind the scenes.

He exchanged a glance with Xia Shiying, whose lips twitched, and she nodded almost imperceptibly.

With the unspoken understanding between the brother and sister, Emperor Xuan Yan understood her meaning in an instant.

It's Lin Feng.

What a terrifying cunning! It made the person involved completely unaware of any suspicion.

However, Shen Xiaohong had no doubts, and Xuan Yanhuang would not say anything; he only cared whether Shen Xiaohong could fulfill his promise.

In the tense atmosphere, Shen Xiaohong sighed softly.

"Gentlemen, although I did not obtain the Divine Blade this time, I did find a very excellent master for it. Disappointment is disappointment, but I am not an unreasonable person. The care that the Xuan Yan Dynasty has shown me during this period is genuine, and you have indeed fulfilled your promise. Rest assured, I will definitely do what I promised."

Emperor Xuan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to his face.

"Then thank you very much, Young Master Shen."

Lin Feng smiled faintly.

There was no controversy about this matter from the beginning. Given Shen Xiaohong's personality, he would definitely keep his promise.

"I plan to travel to the Endless Sea in a while. If you have nothing else to do, Brother Lin, why not come with me?"

Shen Xiaohong asked tentatively.

He didn't know Lin Feng's background, nor was he sure if Lin Feng was willing to come with him.

Unlike the Divine Soaring Blade, the Rifting Mountain Blade does not recognize a master, which is why the Divine Soaring Blade felt comfortable inviting Lin Feng.

"Since it is Brother Shen's request, I will naturally not refuse. I feel guilty about the matter of the Divine Blade recognizing its master this time, and I also want to do something for you, Brother Shen, to make up for it."

Lin Feng said earnestly.

"Brother Lin, you're being too polite."

Shen Xiaohong smiled and shook his head.

"I am only disappointed that I did not gain the approval of the Divine Blade, but I am not disappointed that you, Brother Lin, obtained the Divine Blade. I wonder if Lin Feng understands what I mean?"

Lin Feng nodded with a smile.

"Putting aside the fact that I didn't get the treasured sword, I'm actually relieved that it's in Brother Lin's hands. After all, it's not like a pearl going to waste, is it?"

Shen Xiaohong is also very carefree.

A few days later.

In the Xuan Yan Dynasty, in the prison.

This prison contains magical artifacts that suppress spiritual power. Those below the Divine Soul Realm who are imprisoned will be unable to use any spiritual power. As for powerful individuals above the Divine Soul Realm like Tian Yusheng, they will receive "special care" from Emperor Xuan Yan. He fed Tian Yusheng a pill that would cause him to explode and die if he tried to activate his spiritual power.

In the dark and damp prison, a figure in white slowly moved forward and soon arrived at the cell where Li Jingxiao was imprisoned.

"Lin Feng..."

Li Jingxiao looked much more haggard than a few days ago. His body was as thin as a rake, and his face was bloodless. He looked like a drug addict who had been indulging in debauchery for years.

"Li Jingxiao, you look much worse these days."

Lin Feng smiled faintly.

"Isn't that all thanks to you?"

"What makes you say that? Haven't you already confirmed that it was all Tianyusheng's fault? If that's the case, what does it have to do with me?"

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Hehe... Well said, but I don't believe that you didn't play any role in pushing things along."

Li Jingxiao no longer hates; instead, he feels a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.
