"Master, I..."
"Uh..."
Before Leng Chan could even speak, she suddenly felt a suffocating sensation in her neck, as if an invisible hand had gripped her throat.
Her body slowly floated up, her feet off the ground.
Li Changfeng raised his hand and grabbed her neck from a distance.
"Master, uh..."
"beg……"
Her hands instinctively grasped the non-existent hand, her fingers clenched so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms, but all of this was in vain.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the men in black were somewhat strange.
Everyone can see that Leng Chan is just a scapegoat.
Without Li Changfeng's permission, how could she have dared to trespass into Si Yiqi's tomb?
The cicada let out a weak, desperate roar from its throat, its face contorted in pain.
Her eyes gleamed with a will to survive, but that light was gradually fading.
"Stop."
A slightly angry voice rang out, and the force on Leng Chan's neck was instantly dissolved by a gentle force.
Leng Chan crashed heavily to the ground with a thud.
Her face was as pale as paper, and she coughed violently, supporting herself on the ground with both hands.
"What does Hall Master Lin mean by this?"
Despite being interrupted by Lin Youyou, Li Changfeng was not annoyed at all and continued to speak with a smile.
“Leng Chan has broken the rules of our sect. Although she is a disciple of my Tianying Hall, I cannot show her favoritism, can I?”
"Could it be that Lin Tang has taken pity on you?"
“Li Changfeng…”
Lin Youyou narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.
"You're so despicable."
Hahaha~~~
Li Changfeng laughed loudly, as if Lin Youyou had just praised him.
"To be scolded by Hall Master Lin, my trip has been worthwhile, hahaha..."
"There are countless men in the world who wish they could be scolded by Master Lin."
"If word gets out about what happened today, I wonder how many people will envy me."
"You're not only despicable, you're utterly disgusting!"
"So what?"
Li Changfeng raised an eyebrow.
"Has Hall Master Lin forgotten what kind of cultivation technique our Xinglong Pavilion practices?"
"What you call disgusting is precisely my path."
With a "snap," Li Changfeng opened his folding fan and looked at Lin Youyou.
"But Master Lin, you should be careful not to ruin your own path by acting this way."
"It wouldn't be good if such a beauty went mad with evil spirits."
Li Changfeng waved his folding fan, his tone becoming more flippant.
"Hmph, I won't trouble Hall Master Li with my path."
The two couldn't agree on anything, so they both fell silent.
At this moment, Leng Chan lay on the ground, panting painfully.
If Lin Youyou had acted even a fraction later, her neck would have been snapped by Li Changfeng.
She raised her head and looked at Li Changfeng with a sorrowful expression.
However, this hall master, who always had a smile on his face, never looked at her again.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
In the end, only two lines of hot tears slid down her cheeks.
Leng Chan once swore to be loyal to Tianying Hall for life, and was even willing to give her life.
But at that moment, she was like a stray dog on the roadside.
In the eyes of someone like Li Changfeng, she was nothing more than a pawn that could be discarded at will.
Seeing her distraught appearance, Lin Youyou pondered for a moment and then whispered something to Liu Shengyun.
Upon hearing her words, Liu Shengyun was taken aback, then nodded almost imperceptibly.
Before he could make any move, the entire Tianchi Lake suddenly began to shake violently.
At the entrance, the water flowed backward, creating towering waves in the air.
"This is......"
Lin Youyou, Li Changfeng, and Rong Yuan appeared simultaneously above the entrance, as if they had teleported.
"The tomb began to shake, several times more violently than the last time."
"If the last one was a legacy being passed down, then this one is..."
"Boom—"
A loud bang came from below, accompanied by what seemed to be a mournful cry.
Gradually, the edge of Tianchi began to twist and crack.
A deafening roar echoed from the ground, followed by a heart-stopping cracking sound.
"It's about to open."
Li Changfeng waved his folding fan and said casually.
As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous Heavenly Pool burst open in an instant, as if it had been torn apart by an invisible hand.
An indescribable stench, accompanied by a burst of air, surged out.
The next moment, countless bloody and mangled pieces of flesh splattered out like raindrops.
They drew shocking arcs in the air before scattering helplessly around them, directly staining this large area of land red.
Upon seeing these fragments, Lin Youyou and the others' expressions changed for the first time.
These pieces of flesh varied in size, and all that could be seen were patches of sticky, scarlet substance.
"What's this?"
Lin Youyou asked.
Rong Yuan pondered for a while, then said somewhat uncertainly.
"It might be a guardian beast."
"According to some ancient records in the pavilion, there is a guardian beast in Si Yiqi's tomb, but it has always been asleep."
"The guardian beast has been awakened, and these are fragments of its corpse?"
"No wonder, that explains the strange feeling I had before."
"But……"
Rong Yuan stroked his beard, a look of surprise appearing on his wrinkled face.
"According to ancient records, that guardian beast was at the peak of the Serpent Core Realm."
