After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Li Jingxiao's face was filled with horror, and his body swayed precariously.
"How is that possible!"
The Azure Profound Sacred Body vanished with a roar, and the aura that Li Jingxiao had painstakingly created earlier disappeared without a trace.
He clutched his chest, gripping the Qingxuan Sword tightly.
"I advise you not to get too excited."
Lin Feng suddenly uttered this ambiguous statement.
"You bastard!"
Enraged, Li Jingxiao disregarded his depleted spiritual energy and began to overdraw his power, intending to fight Lin Feng to the death.
But would Lin Feng give him that chance?
"Nine Heavens Divine Evolution Hand!"
With another palm strike, Li Jingxiao spat out another mouthful of blood. Unwilling to give up, he continued, "Again!"
The sword energy spread out, but its power was significantly less than before.
Something's not right!
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Why is Li Jingxiao's cultivation level declining!"
Indeed, after Li Jingxiao began to overdraw the spiritual power in his dantian, his cultivation level had been slowly declining. He was clearly at the ninth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm before, but now he was only at the seventh level of the Divine Tribulation Realm, and it was still declining!
Everyone present was taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
"My...my cultivation level!"
Li Jingxiao panicked completely!
He tried to recover the spiritual energy that had dissipated from his body, but how easy was that? His dantian was like a deflated balloon, leaking air little by little. Unless he could find the tools to repair the balloon in a short time, he could only obediently watch his cultivation level decline.
"I knew his cultivation couldn't have improved that quickly! He must have used some kind of evil magic!"
"Now that we've overdrawn our power, the aftereffects of this evil magic are bound to come!"
"Truly despicable!"
"My cultivation level!"
Li Jingxiao's legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground. He quickly regained his senses and glared fiercely at Lin Feng: "It was you! Did you do something to me?!"
Lin Feng glanced at him, sighed helplessly, and his eyes showed a hint of pity.
"madness!"
Shen Xiaohong stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "It's clearly because you have too many impurities in your body! These impurities are formed from long-term consumption of inferior pills or long-term soaking in inferior medicinal baths! Brother Lin has only been in contact with you for less than half an hour, how could he possibly tamper with your body!"
"You know perfectly well how many inferior pills you've swallowed and how many medicinal baths you've taken that have damaged your body!"
As a prince of the royal realm, Shen Xiaohong was knowledgeable and had a sharp eye. He immediately saw the root of Li Jingxiao's problem.
Ultimately, Li Jingxiao's cultivation level remained at the first level of the Overlord Realm.
He stood there dumbfounded, almost unable to believe what Shen Xiaohong had said.
Pills... medicinal bath...
Almost instantly, Tian Yusheng's gentle face flashed through Li Jingxiao's mind.
He then recalled the reminder Shangguan Tingye had given him earlier.
But... how could this be? How could the sect leader do such a terrible thing to him? He's my parents' best friend!
After his spiritual energy was completely depleted, wisps of evil energy lingered around Li Jingxiao. He tried to remove them, but to no avail. No matter what he did, he could not replenish the spiritual energy in his body, and he could only start cultivating again after losing his cultivation.
How long will that take?
Li Jingxiao dared not think about it.
Buzz!
The surrounding space suddenly distorted, and Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, saying in a deep voice, "The ruins are about to close."
The crowd's attention shifted from Li Jingxiao, and they all began to lament their own meager gains.
"We were really fooled by that old bastard Jin Hong. We didn't get any good stuff, but we did get a lot of weird stuff."
"I'm alright, at least I've inherited a few things."
"Speaking of which, what should we do with that bastard Li Jingxiao after he gets out of here? He killed quite a few disciples from various factions! He's definitely incurred public wrath!"
"That depends on how the Heavenly Gate Master deals with him!"
Master of Tianmen?
Lin Feng's lips curled into a mocking smile.
At this point, whether the Tian Shu Sect even exists is a question.
Looking at the distorted space around him, Li Jingxiao felt a secret sense of anticipation rising in his heart.
That's right, the sect leader couldn't possibly have lied to him; there must be more to this story!
It's true that Xuan Yan Huang killed his parents, and it's also true that the sect leader wants to help him take revenge! There's no way it could be false!
Li Jingxiao, who had originally decided to never have anything to do with Shangguan Tingye again, strode over and asked, "Tingye, you lied to me before, didn't you? The sect leader definitely didn't harm me, right?"
Shangguan Tingye did not speak, but simply shook her head.
"You bitch! Say something to me!"
"Your mouth is so dirty!"
Shangguan Qingning's expression turned hostile, and she suddenly slapped him across the face.
Li Jingxiao, who was only at the Overlord Realm, was no match for Shangguan Qingning. With a sudden jerk, all of Shangguan Qingning's teeth were knocked out.
Shangguan Tingye watched coldly from the sidelines, without making a sound.
The disgusted and averted gazes of the people around him made Li Jingxiao feel lost and dejected.
Just a day ago, he was a super genius surrounded by admirers, with so many people praising and flattering him, making him feel like a genius that was once in ten thousand years in the Xuan Yan Star Realm, and that Shen Xiaohong and Lin Feng were just stepping stones for him.
He should ultimately kill the Xuan Yan Emperor to avenge his parents, then take over the Tian Shu Sect from Tian Yu Sheng, and finally lead the Tian Shu Sect to become the number one power in the entire Xuan Yan Star Realm.
This is how it should be!
Why did it turn out like this?
