After killing Han Qinghui, Qin Feng wanted to get away from this troublesome place as quickly as possible.
It is known that Han Qinghui has already sent out a distress signal, and it is believed that the people from the Dark Palace will arrive soon.
Those who were watching the spectacle were still reeling from the shock of Qin Feng so easily defeating Han Qinghui.
However, not everyone did this. An old man dressed in the Hanling Sect's robes realized Qin Feng's intention and tried to stall for time while waiting for reinforcements.
This person is Han Li, the Grand Elder of the Hanling Sect. He is also at the peak of the Emperor Realm, and his combat strength is comparable to Han Qinghui's.
This person suddenly appeared in front of Qin Feng, blocking his way.
Qin Feng frowned, and without saying a word, he transformed into a lightning sword again and unleashed Thunderstrike.
When Han Li faced Qin Feng directly, he realized how terrifying Qin Feng was, and he was under tremendous pressure.
He was terrified and immediately used a secret technique to defend himself. An ice shield was erected in front of him, and that wasn't enough. He then froze himself into a block of ice.
However, despite using all his methods, he still underestimated Qin Feng's combat strength.
Qin Feng was in a hurry to leave and wouldn't let this person delay him. He transformed into an indestructible sword and broke through Han Li's layers of protection.
With unstoppable momentum, it ultimately killed him with a single blow.
Qin Feng tossed the man into the small world as well, and then disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.
The instant Qin Feng's figure disappeared, the onlookers heard an incomparably majestic voice that resounded throughout the entire world.
"Who is so bold as to disrespect my Dark Palace like this?"
The Dark Palace rarely makes its own appearance; the Cold Spirit Sect usually takes its place. What he said makes sense.
All the people saw was a man dressed in a black robe, wearing a hideous demon mask, exuding an overwhelming aura and possessing terrifying strength.
Everyone secretly marveled at the newcomer's power, filled with boundless awe.
"This person is incredibly strong; he must be at the Emperor Realm."
"This has actually alarmed the Dark Palace; this is a very serious matter."
The black-robed, masked man scanned his surroundings but did not find Han Qinghui.
From the time Han Qinghui sent the signal to his arrival, only a short time had passed, and he believed that Han Qinghui was still alive.
He took out his communication jade and demanded, "Han Qinghui, where are you?"
But Han Qinghui could no longer reply to him.
The masked man waited a moment, and when he found there was no response, he frowned.
He noticed that everyone's expressions were somewhat strange, which annoyed him.
He casually reached out and took a picture of one of the people present from a distance.
The unfortunate man was grabbed by the neck by the masked man, trembling all over and covered in cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I do not know what I have done to offend Your Majesty."
The masked man's deep voice rang out, "If you want to live, answer my questions obediently, or you know the consequences."
It should be noted that those who were present to watch the spectacle were mostly at the Emperor Realm, yet Ghost Face could easily control one of them and interrogate them directly.
It is clear that the people of the Dark Palace are extremely domineering and do not take these people seriously at all.
The man quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will tell you everything I know."
The masked man scanned the room. "Where is Han Qinghui?"
The man said tremblingly:
"He was killed by someone dressed in the Hanling Sect's attire. That person had already left before the Emperor arrived and disappeared without a trace."
The masked man was shocked. "What? Han Qinghui was killed, and by someone wearing the Hanling Sect's robes?"
The man was afraid the masked man wouldn't believe him, so he quickly explained.
"Yes, everyone present saw that the person was wearing the official attire of the Hanling Sect. I suspect it was an imposter, but I don't know the person's exact identity."
The masked man continued, "What level of cultivation is he at?"
The man answered honestly, "I am at the peak of the Emperor Realm."
The masked man frowned, finding it unbelievable. "The situation was urgent? Didn't Han Qinghui have time to use his protective talisman?"
The person replied, "I used it."
The masked man raised an eyebrow, seemingly disbelieving, and pressed his imposing aura against the man, saying in a deep voice:
"Are you sure? No matter how useless Han Qinghui is, he's not someone a peak Emperor Realm cultivator can kill instantly."
Moreover, he has a protective talisman that I gave him, which is a talisman of the Emperor Realm.
Even if someone could break through to the peak of the Emperor Realm, it would take them a very long time. How could that person possibly kill them?
The man held in the masked man's hand secretly groaned and quickly explained:
"I dare not lie before the Emperor. Sect Master Han did use a talisman, but he was still instantly killed by that person."
The little man didn't know exactly how he did it, but everyone present saw it; you can ask them if you don't believe me.
The masked man glanced at the crowd, his Emperor-level aura pressing down on them. "Is what he said true?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, sensing the masked man's power.
"That person was indeed at the peak of the Emperor Realm, and he did kill Sect Master Han. How he did it, we don't know."
Someone added, "Not only was Han Qinghui, the sect leader of the Hanling Sect, killed, but their Grand Elder Han Li was also killed by that person."
The masked man frowned even more deeply, utterly perplexed.
How could someone at the Emperor Realm break through the protective shield of a Supreme Emperor Realm cultivator, instantly kill Han Qinghui, and even kill Han Li, who was also at the peak of the Emperor Realm?
This is somewhat beyond the Ghost Face Man's comprehension.
While the masked man was pondering, several more figures hurried over.
They are Shang Ziming and Manager Qian from Tianji Pavilion, as well as Tianwen, the Pavilion Master, and Tianheng, the Young Pavilion Master.
They were all drawn here by the commotion.
Tianwen greeted the masked man and Shang Ziming very politely, "Greetings, Protector You, and greetings, Young Master Shang."
Tianheng also bowed in greeting.
The masked man merely nodded indifferently to Tianwen and Tianheng, but instead took the initiative to bow to Shang Ziming.
