Time ticked by, and after a full hour, Jiang Feng, who had been keeping his eyes tightly shut, finally opened them. His gaze flashed like two bolts of lightning across the void, sweeping across the crowd around him. Everyone caught in his gaze was horrified, a wave of inexplicable fear welling up in their hearts. They felt as if Jiang Feng's gaze could see directly into their inner worlds, perceiving each person's deepest thoughts. The feeling was so terrifying that it sent chills down their spines.
After this breakthrough, Jiang Feng's cultivation had unexpectedly leapt to the middle stage of Great Perfection. This result not only stunned the many disciples present, but even the self-righteous Lu Lingfeng couldn't help but gasp. He knew that with his current strength, he was probably no match for Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng showed a smug smile on his face and said loudly: "All members of Qingyun Sect should quickly go to the square to gather. This sect leader has important matters to announce. I will rush over as soon as I finish processing!" After that, his figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, rushing away into the distance.
In the Qingyun Sect square, sunlight streamed across the vast ground, casting a golden glow. Numerous disciples and elders, dressed in uniform, stood in unison, their postures erect and expressions solemn, as if awaiting the start of a momentous ceremony. Time slowly passed, and half an hour later, a figure suddenly appeared in the center of the field, like a ghost. Everyone looked closely and saw that it was none other than Jiang Feng. However, to everyone's shock, he held a bloody head in his hands. The hideous appearance sent chills down their spines.
Seeing this, Lu Lingfeng in the crowd couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's actually him, the leader of the assassination organization 'Ghost Shadow' - Old Ghost! He is a top master in the late stage of great success!" As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked by this sudden news.
At that moment, Jiang Feng suddenly roared, "Jiang Army, come out!" His voice resounded like a bell, echoing throughout the square. As his words fell, a strange noise echoed, and then, ripples began to form in the previously calm chaotic space. In the blink of an eye, a group of figures filed out of the chaotic space and landed steadily on the square.
This mysterious team was none other than the Jiang Clan Army, once again led by Bai Ling and the majestic Heaven-Swallowing Divine Tiger. After a millennium of dedicated cultivation within the Primal Chaos Dimension, they were now a far cry from their former selves. Bai Ling and the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Tiger, in particular, had successfully unlocked the divine beast inheritance, their strengths soaring, now both reaching the late Great Perfection stage. Looking at the others, Song Yunfeng and Hu Sanniang had also advanced to the early Great Perfection stage, becoming formidable figures to be reckoned with. Even more astonishing, the team boasted over twenty Great Perfection-level demon beasts, with the remainder in the Fusion stage, totaling well over a thousand individuals!
Everyone in the Qingyun Sect was horrified upon witnessing this scene. Such a powerful team, based solely on its combat power, would be enough to terrify all the other major sects and send them fleeing in fear! At this moment, a tense and solemn atmosphere permeated the square, and everyone secretly wondered what Jiang Feng was up to by appearing here with such a powerful force.
Jiang Feng's face was as gloomy as water. He raised his arm, and a flash of cold light flashed. The old ghost's Nascent Soul shot out like a meteor, landing directly in front of Xiao Jiu. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said coldly, "Xiao Jiu, this guy dared to assassinate me back then, and now he has fallen into my hands. How to deal with him is entirely up to you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaojiu's eyes flashed with excitement. She knew full well that her current position was entirely due to her master's grace and cultivation. She quickly stepped forward and carefully picked up the Nascent Soul from the ground, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world.
At the same time, Jiang Feng slowly turned, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. Standing tall and straight, he spoke in a clear voice, "Our Qingyun Dynasty has always been clear about rewards and punishments. I will naturally treat those who are loyal and devoted with no mercy. However, as for those who harbor evil intentions and betray their loyalty..." At this point, he paused, and swung his right hand violently.
Instantly, an incredibly powerful suction force erupted, and an old man in the middle stage of the Great Perfection stage in the field felt his body involuntarily fly towards Jiang Feng. In the blink of an eye, he was tightly grasped in Jiang Feng's hand, like a lamb to be slaughtered.
The old man was terrified, his face filled with horror. He cried out in a trembling voice, "Sir, what on earth do you mean? I am loyal to the Qingyun Sect!"
However, Jiang Feng remained unmoved by the old man's defense. Since his breakthrough to the Great Perfection stage, the power of his Qingyun Jue had greatly increased. Now, with its miraculous effects, he could clearly discern the good and evil within the other person's heart.
Jiang Feng snorted coldly, and the chaotic energy within him surged out, instantly transforming into countless fine threads that tightly wrapped around the old man. As the chaotic energy continued to erode, the old man's body shrank at a visible speed, as if all the vitality in his body was being drained away. Soon, the old man had become a dried corpse, and the traces of spiritual energy contained in his body continued to flow into Jiang Feng's body.
At this moment, an angry shout suddenly came from the originally quiet team: "Jiang Feng, we have come all the way to your Qingyun Sect, but we didn't expect to be treated like this!" A burly man with a fleshy face stared at Jiang Feng with big eyes like copper bells and roared loudly.
Jiang Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said lightly: "Haha, you are the second person who dares to talk to me like this." As soon as the words fell, the man immediately realized that something was wrong. He thought to himself that it was not good and turned around to escape.
However, just as he was about to move, a flash of cold light darted by like lightning. In an instant, a divine spear, emitting a mysterious aura, pierced his body straight through. Then, the man holding the spear flicked his wrist lightly, and with a loud "bang," the divine spear instantly exploded, shattering into countless fragments. The poor man died before he could even scream.
Jiang Feng looked at everything happening in front of him, his face expressionless. He just cast his gaze on the person who made the move - Bai Qingcang, and nodded with satisfaction. He secretly admired in his heart: "This senior brother is really amazing. He does things cleanly and efficiently without any dragging his feet." Then, he continued to carry out the plan he had already made without hesitation.
