Yan Dingyun looked at them in disbelief.
Feng Ling frowned and looked at Ruo Tinghan. At this moment, Lei Jing, who was standing next to her, suddenly smiled and said:
"By the way, Wind Chime, I heard you turned the Ruo family's Demon-Suppressing Stele into a sword? Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Ling nodded and, without any hesitation, directly drew out the Demon-Suppressing Stele:
"This is the Demon-Suppressing Stele."
Having said that, with a thought, he released the Demon-Suppressing Stele, and the endless demonic energy of the countless demons in the space immediately emanated, making everyone in the conference room feel as if they were in hell.
Lei Jing raised an eyebrow, looking at the sword with some surprise:
"Tsk tsk, a masterpiece... It's hard to imagine what kind of person could create such a weapon."
The wind chime smiled upon hearing this:
"I suspect it's a god... but I don't know much more about this sword."
Lei Jing nodded:
"I was lost in thought, unable to think of anyone else. Compared to this Demon-Suppressing Stele, my Lei family's Ghostly Nether Pool is really nothing..."
Feng Ling raised an eyebrow:
"oh?"
Fengling sensed the hidden meaning in Lei Jing's words and asked with a smile:
"Then, how does the Bai family's Soul-Severing Bridge compare to this Demon-Suppressing Stele?"
Lei Jing smiled and shrugged:
"You'd have to ask Lao Bai, how would I know?"
All eyes turned to Bai Qiling, whose face remained expressionless.
He said calmly:
"No need to ask anymore. The reason I was able to win back then was simply because I bribed Sakura Snow Fox."
Wind Chime retorted directly:
"You bribed Sakura Snow Fox? It was Sakura Snow Fox who bribed you, wasn't it? If I'm not mistaken, Sakura Snow Fox had already found a way to use divine power back then, and you witnessed it, right..."
"You think you can defeat the Feng family? Don't be ridiculous."
"Don't even mention the Feng family from over twenty years ago, even the current Feng family, could you defeat them? Even if ten members of the Bai family came, you still wouldn't stand a chance!"
The angry voice shook everyone present. "Ten more members of the Bai family?"
Don't be so arrogant...
This statement is certainly an exaggeration, but Feng Ling's meaning is quite clear: without other factors, the Feng family will definitely win that great battle.
Bai Qiling was amused by the wind chimes:
"Twenty years ago, I could kill Feng Xing; twenty years later, I can kill you too!"
His tone was somber, yet every word was forceful and clear.
"Oh, then you should give it a try."
As he spoke, he had already grasped the double-edged sword in his hand.
"Hey, hey, stop fighting! Now is not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves."
Lei Jing quickly smiled and reached out his hand:
"Right now, we must unite against external forces; the demon races beyond our borders are the key."
As he spoke, he continued:
"How about this, I'll tell you about the strange things I experienced that day, okay, Lao Bai?"
Lei Jing looked at Bai Qiling with a smile. Bai Qiling didn't say anything, so Lei Jing took it as a tacit agreement.
So he continued:
"That day's battle was indeed difficult, but... no matter how difficult it was, everything seemed to be moving in the direction the Spirit Master wanted, unstoppable... Afterwards, I even felt that the Feng family's fighting strength was a bit too weak. Admittedly, the main reason for the victory was that Sakura Snow Fox turned against us unexpectedly and seriously injured Feng Xing, but later... after I got home, a piece of data reported by my subordinates caught my attention."
“My spirit artifact master detected that the Bai family possesses an undetectable energy source, originating from the Broken Soul Bridge.”
"I analyzed the data. The energy reached its peak just moments before the Feng family's defeat, right before Feng Xing's death..."
"But later, when I asked the Bai family, they wouldn't say anything. It wasn't until I went to the Bai family's residence...that I discovered..."
"The Bridge of Broken Souls is gone."
!
That's it?
Everyone looked at Lei Jing in shock, and Lei Jing smiled:
"Oh, it's not that it's gone in a physical sense, but rather that the Soul-Severing Bridge no longer has its original function. The original Soul-Severing Bridge was similar to my Ghostly Pool, a treasure land for suppressing the demon race, but after that great battle, the Soul-Severing Bridge lost its original function and became an ordinary bridge."
Bai Qiling said calmly:
"The great battle twenty years ago did indeed damage the treasure that is the Bridge of Broken Souls, but to avoid panic and to prevent some unscrupulous people from taking advantage of the situation, I choose not to say anything."
"No, it's not that simple..."
Lei Jing smiled and said:
"Later, I took the same spiritual artifact to my Ghost Pool to test it, and it turned out that my Ghost Pool was the local artifact... Even if the energy was strange, it was still reasonable."
"Then I went to the Ruojia Demon-Suppressing Stele, and guess what?"
Lei Jing asked with a smile, leaving everyone speechless. "Are you performing a stand-up comedy routine here? Can you hurry up and finish?"
"Among the energies emanating from the Demon-Suppressing Stele, there is one that is exactly the same as the one from the Soul-Severing Bridge. It has the same frequency, is equally unanalyzable, and is also beyond the comprehension of this world. Countless experts from my Lei family have studied it for over twenty years, but to no avail."
"As Fengling just mentioned, this demon-suppressing stele was most likely left behind by someone from out of town..."
Everyone: ? ? ?
Out-of-towner?
"Oh, you could interpret that as aliens. Sorry, I don't believe in God, I believe in science."
Lei Jing said with a smile, and Feng Ling, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Aliens? Hahaha, interesting! As expected of Boss Lei, ptooey, Patriarch Lei! Haha!"
"So, what the Lei family head means is that the alien must have intervened in the battle twenty years ago."
"Definitely. But last time, he sided with the Spirit Master, this time... he sided with the Mist Monk."
