Ling Fengzi and Ling Xuan exchanged a glance, and then both of them frowned deeply.
They all knew very well that although they held a very high position in the Spirit Clan, especially Ling Fengzi, whose every word and action was closely watched and respected by the clansmen, almost no one would raise any objections or questions to him.
However, it is rather inappropriate to use soul-searching techniques on members of one's own clan.
After all, the Soul Searching Technique is an extremely domineering method; once used, the soul of the person targeted will suffer tremendous impact and damage.
Moreover, arbitrarily using soul-searching techniques on clansmen without solid evidence will inevitably cause panic and discontent among them, and may even lead to the disintegration of their ranks.
"Let's leave it at that, everyone, and stop talking about it!" Ling Fengzi took a deep breath, suppressing his irritation, then gave Ling Ke a meaningful look before turning his gaze to Qin Feng and speaking calmly.
"Qin Feng, I don't want to fight you anymore, but if you continue to sow discord among our people, then you may not be able to leave so easily!"
Although Lingfengzi's words were phrased in a very tactful way, the warning in them was all too clear.
However, Qin Feng seemed not to hear Ling Fengzi's warning. His attention was completely focused on Ling Ke, his eyes flickering with surprise and uncertainty.
Seeing this, Ling Fengzi's anger rose even higher. He hadn't expected Qin Feng to be so rude, completely disregarding his words.
However, despite being extremely angry, Lingfengzi managed to suppress his anger and not lash out on the spot.
After all, Qin Feng's strength is undeniable; if he were to actually make a move, I doubt I would come out on top.
Moreover, in the eyes of others, if he got angry because Qin Feng ignored him, they would probably laugh at him in his heart for his impotent rage.
At that moment, Qin Feng suddenly turned to Ling Fengzi.
A slight, enigmatic smile played on his lips as he spoke slowly, "I sensed the aura of an ancient demon on Lingke!"
"If you don't believe me, you can investigate it carefully!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it resounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing this, Ling Fengzi frowned sharply, clearly surprised by Qin Feng's words. His gaze unconsciously followed Qin Feng's and fell on Ling Ke.
At the same time, everyone else present was also drawn to Qin Feng's words, and their gazes, as if under a spell, all focused on Ling Ke.
Although Qin Feng was their enemy and his words might not be credible, they had to treat the matter with utmost care because it concerned the Ancient Demon.
Ling Ke's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. He never expected that even though he had been so careful to hide, Qin Feng had still discovered him.
That's right, he wasn't the real Ling Ke at all, but the ancient demon who was severely injured by Qin Feng and Ling Xueyan and only managed to escape by self-destructing his body!
Not long ago, this ancient demon accidentally discovered Lingke, who was seriously injured and in dire straits.
He devised a plan and used some special methods to successfully devour Ling Ke's primordial spirit and take over his body.
However, to everyone's surprise, the ancient demon appeared unusually calm. He glared at Qin Feng and roared, "Qin Feng, you shameless scoundrel, stop spouting nonsense and making baseless accusations!"
Although Ling Fengzi was shocked by Qin Feng's words, he was a man who had experienced many trials and tribulations, and he did not immediately believe Qin Feng's words.
With a solemn expression, he slowly walked towards Lingke, his hands quickly forming hand seals while he chanted incantations.
In an instant, a dazzling beam of divine power flashed like lightning and entered Lingke's body.
Upon seeing this, the ancient demon inwardly cried out in alarm. He hurriedly circulated his demonic power, trying to conceal the situation within his body.
However, Ling Fengzi's cultivation level was unfathomable, so how could he be easily deceived?
Ling Fengzi frowned slightly, instantly noticing the strangeness on the ancient demon.
"Hmph!" Ling Fengzi snorted coldly, his face suddenly turning extremely ugly. He shouted, "There's definitely a problem!"
Before he finished speaking, he moved like lightning, suddenly attacking the ancient demon like a cannonball.
Seeing that his scheme had been exposed, the ancient demon knew that continuing to pretend would be futile, so he simply stopped hiding and the demonic light within his body suddenly erupted like a volcano.
He used all his strength to forcefully break free from Ling Fengzi's attack, then stared at Qin Feng with a ferocious expression, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Qin Feng, I will never let you go!"
After saying that, the ancient demon quickly formed hand seals, and demonic shadows emerged from behind him, rushing towards the crowd with overwhelming demonic energy.
Ling Fengzi reacted with lightning speed. Just as the demonic shadow was about to collide with everyone, he unleashed a powerful spell without hesitation.
A massive spiritual energy shield, like an indestructible city wall, instantly enveloped everyone.
The demonic shadow slammed into the shield at an astonishing speed, creating a series of earth-shattering roars.
However, despite the immense force of the impact, the shield remained as stable as a mountain, showing no signs of breaking.
Seeing this, Lingxuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately joined the battle.
In an instant, shouts of battle and the roar of spells intertwined, creating a deafening cacophony.
Although the ancient demon was surrounded and attacked by many people, his strength was extremely powerful and should not be underestimated.
He dodged and weaved through the dense attacks, constantly changing his moves to skillfully deflect the attacks while searching for an opportunity to break through.
As for Qin Feng, he had quietly retreated to a place a thousand meters away at some point.
He stood there leisurely, as if this thrilling battle had nothing to do with him, simply watching the development of the battle.
Just then, Lingzhi was caught off guard and struck by the powerful attack from the ancient demon!
Her body shot towards Qin Feng's location at an astonishing speed, like a cannonball being launched.
Qin Feng was standing there leisurely, but when he saw Ling Zhi flying towards him like a shooting star, he lazily raised his right hand.
Just as Lingzhi was about to collide with Qin Feng, his right hand shot out like lightning and precisely grabbed Lingzhi's body.
This seemingly effortless grab actually contained immense strength, easily and steadily holding Lingzhi in his arms.
However, although Qin Feng successfully caught Lingzhi, her condition was not optimistic.
With a "pfft," Lingzhi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto Qin Feng's clothes, forming a shocking blood flower.
Lingzhi's face instantly turned ashen, devoid of any color, and her once bright eyes lost their luster, becoming dull and lifeless.
Her breath became extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Clearly, the ancient demon's attack caused extremely serious damage to Lingzhi.
After all, her strength was only at the peak of the Primordial Saint Emperor level, and the gap between her and the Ancient Demon was enormous.
It was incredibly fortunate that they survived such a fierce attack from the ancient demon.
