After being reprimanded by Ling Fengzi, Ling Xuan felt like his heart was in turmoil. Although he was dissatisfied with Ling Fengzi's reprimand, he dared not utter another word.
He lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his face was full of resentment and anger.
Standing to the side, Zhang Xianzong watched all of this with great interest, observing Lingxuan's reaction with a slight upturn of his lips, revealing a playful smile.
"Heh, what a useless piece of trash!"
Zhang Xianzong suddenly spoke, his tone full of mockery and disdain. "You and he are both half-step Heavenly Dao Realm experts, yet you're afraid of him? It's utterly laughable!"
Upon hearing Zhang Xianzong's words, Lingxuan's face instantly turned ashen, as if it could drip water.
His fists clenched even tighter, making a cracking sound, revealing his extreme anger.
He was the Holy Son of the Spirit Clan, a top expert at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm. When and where had he ever suffered such humiliation?
However, Ling Fengzi was standing right next to him, and no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to lash out at this moment.
Ling Fengzi naturally noticed Ling Xuan's anger. He looked at Ling Xuan with a disappointed expression and sighed softly, "Ling Xuan, how could your state of mind be so bad? I am so disappointed in you!"
Upon hearing Ling Fengzi's words, Ling Xuan felt a surge of shame and indignation. He felt his dignity had been severely trampled upon, but deep down, he had to admit that Ling Fengzi was right.
After all, he was a half-step Heavenly Dao Realm expert! Such a state of mind was really quite poor.
If, at a crucial moment, one goes astray due to mental state issues, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Lingxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
He knew that now was not the time to act impulsively; he had to deal with the problem rationally.
So, Lingxuan slowly spoke and admitted his mistake to Lingfengzi: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!"
Seeing this, Ling Fengzi nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Zhang Xianzong and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, Ling Xuan was in the wrong just now. I apologize to you on his behalf!"
At this moment, Ling Fengzi had completely abandoned any pretense of saving face.
In his view, making an enemy of a powerful figure like Zhang Xianzong was definitely not a wise move, so he preferred to temporarily lower himself to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, Zhang Xianzong did not seem to intend to give up so easily. He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Ling Fengzi's face, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"How interesting, the dignified Holy King of the Spirit Clan actually backs down!" Zhang Xianzong's voice was full of sarcasm.
Ling Fengzi frowned slightly; he was clearly displeased with Zhang Xianzong's attitude.
However, he suppressed his anger and explained, "Fellow Daoist, I'm not admitting defeat, I just don't want to make enemies over such a trivial matter!"
After speaking, Ling Fengzi's gaze sharpened, and he stared intently at Zhang Xianzong, as if warning him not to push his luck.
"If you want to keep bothering me, I'll play along!" Although Ling Fengzi's voice wasn't loud, the pressure it contained was not to be underestimated.
After hearing Ling Fengzi's words, Zhang Xianzong not only showed no sign of restraint, but suddenly threw his head back and burst into wild laughter. His laughter was deafening, as if the entire space was shaken by his laughter.
"Hahaha……"
Zhang Xianzong's laughter was full of disdain and mockery. "Play along? I'd like to see just how capable you, Lingfengzi, really are!"
His voice echoed through the air like thunder.
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xianzong's aura suddenly surged, like a volcano about to erupt, its powerful momentum sweeping outwards like a surging tide.
This momentum was like an overwhelming force, and wherever it passed, grass, trees, and rocks were all lifted up and flung into the air by this powerful force.
Upon seeing this, Ling Fengzi's expression changed slightly. He sensed the powerful aura emanating from Zhang Xianzong and was secretly astonished.
However, he did not back down. Instead, he straightened up, looked directly at Zhang Xianzong, and his eyes revealed a chilling coldness.
"Does Your Excellency truly intend to become an enemy of my Spirit Clan? And an enemy of all the fellow Daoists present here?" Ling Fengzi coldly questioned.
Zhang Xianzong's lips curled up slightly, forming an arrogant smile, as if he didn't care about the current situation at all, and even looked down on it.
"So what if I'm your enemy?" His voice revealed an unwavering confidence. "I'm not afraid at all!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Fengzi's anger was instantly ignited. He glared at Zhang Xianzong with wide eyes, trembling with rage.
However, despite his extreme anger, his reason told him not to act impulsively.
After all, Haoyue and Ningkong were already very formidable opponents.
If Zhang Xianzong were added to the mix, their side would likely suffer heavy casualties even if they ultimately won.
Ling Fengzi took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart and gradually calming his emotions.
After a while, he slowly spoke, "Fellow Daoist, what exactly do you want?"
Seeing this, Zhang Xianzong's smile became even more contemptuous. He curled his lip in mockery, "How boring. I thought you really had the guts to confront me head-on!"
After saying that, he seemed to find it boring, and then slowly answered Ling Fengzi's question, "I came here just to watch the excitement."
"As long as you don't provoke me, I will absolutely not interfere in your fight!"
Hearing Zhang Xianzong's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't show it on his face. He simply said, "I hope you will keep your word!"
Zhang Xianzong curled his lips slightly, seemingly unconcerned about Ling Fengzi's words.
He didn't even glance at Ling Fengzi, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot as quickly as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, he had stopped several kilometers away and turned to look at where Ling Fengzi and the others were.
Ling Fengzi looked at where Zhang Xianzong was, his brows furrowing slightly.
He thought to himself, "This person is so powerful, I must be careful around him!"
Ling Fengzi knew very well that Zhang Xianzong was definitely not someone to be trifled with, and if he wasn't careful, he might cause himself a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Ling Fengzi made a quick decision and immediately used the art of telepathy to tell his thoughts to several people he knew well.
He instructed them not to act rashly when besieging Ningkong and Haoyue, and to pay special attention to Zhang Xianzong's movements in case he suddenly launched an attack.
