Seeing Tunfeng flee.
Xiao Feng and Chen Yu wanted to give chase, but Chu Qingyun stopped them.
"Xia He, give us the Wind-Soaring Wings. We're retreating!"
"Stay close to on the way out. I'll cover your defense."
The one hundred and fifty Level Nine Martial Artists from before had been utterly routed. The few who survived were scurrying away with their heads in their hands, not daring to fight any longer.
Though Xiao Feng and the other three were reluctant, they still stopped.
Xia He unleashed his Wind Feather Crane Soul and cast the Wind-Soaring Wings Soul Technique on everyone. Enormous cyan wings sprouted from the backs of all five.
Amidst Tunfeng's resentful and furious roars, Chu Qingyun's group of five slowly ascended, transforming into five streaks of cyan light that quickly vanished from sight.
Chu Qingyun's group flapped their Wind-Soaring Wings, flying a good distance away from Shilin Town before they dispersed their Martial Soul Power and Primordial Power, slowly descending to the ground.
"Captain, why did we retreat just now? If the two of us had pushed a little harder and you had delayed him with your Martial Soul, we might have been able to take out that Martial Soul Hall leader."
Xiao Feng asked with regret and confusion after they landed.
By now, Xiao Feng and the other three were all willingly calling Chu Qingyun "Captain."
During the great battle, every one of them, especially Xiao Feng and Chen Yu, had felt the impact of Chu Qingyun's role in a team fight.
It was a role that controlled the entire battlefield!
In Chu Qingyun's hands, the Ten-star Vine Martial Soul seed omnipotent. When they lacked offense, the Ten-star Vine Martial Soul could use a Sword Technique to supplent their attacks. When they lacked defense, the vines could directly block Soul Techniques to bolster their protection. And at the most critical monts, it could unleash imnse Control Power.
With the Ten-star Vine Martial Soul connecting every aspect of the fight, the entire battle had flowed smoothly, its rhythm perfect!
Xiao Feng and Chen Yu, in particular, had experienced the exhilarating feeling of not having to defend at all—of just attacking, attacking, and attacking again!
In response to Xiao Feng and Chen Yu's question, Chu Qingyun looked at Xia He and asked, "Xia He, based on your perception, how many Level Nine Martial Artists were rushing over at the end?"
Xia He pondered for a mont before saying, "It's impossible to know the exact number, but comparing their auras to the hundred or so from before, there were definitely over three hundred, maybe even more!"
"Xiao Feng, Chen Yu, do you think the two of you have enough Primordial Power left to kill three hundred, or even more, Level Nine Martial Artists?"
Chu Qingyun looked at Xiao Feng and Chen Yu with a smile.
Only then did the two of them realize with so astonishnt that they had already used up more than half of their Primordial Power!
The previous battle hadn't lasted long, but it had been incredibly intense!
Level Nine Martial Artists were not, after all, pigs and cattle waiting to be slaughtered. To maintain their high killing efficiency, Xiao Feng and Chen Yu had remained in an explosive state almost the entire ti.
In that state, their consumption of Primordial Power was astounding.
After all, their Qi Seas were ford by Tier Three Martial Souls. Not everyone had a Qi Sea ten thousand ters in circumference like Chu Qingyun.
"That leader from the Martial Soul Hall has a Spirit Level Divine Weapon. Killing him wouldn't have been so easy. If we had been careless and he'd managed to delay us, we would have been besieged by over three hundred Level Nine Martial Artists. Your Primordial Power definitely wouldn't have held out. We would've had to make a ssy escape anyway. It was better to just retreat gracefully."
After Chu Qingyun's explanation, the other four nodded silently, convinced.
After a short rest, Xiao Feng and Chen Yu both took out so Top-Grade Primordial Stones and began Refining the Primordial Power within them to replenish their Qi Seas.
But Chu Qingyun looked at Xia He and said, "Xia He, you guys rest here. Give the Wind-Soaring Wings. I'm going back to Shilin Town."
"What? You're going back?"
The other four were stunned.
"Captain, the people from the Martial Soul Hall already know we're here. Isn't it too dangerous to go back now?"
Xia He frowned as well. "What do you need to do? Why don't I go with you? It'll be safer when you return."
Chu Qingyun waved his hand. "I'm not going to start a war with them, I just want to go take a look. Besides, if I can even deal with their hidden sentries, you have nothing to worry about."
In the end, Xia He and the others couldn't dissuade him and cast Wind-Soaring Wings on Chu Qingyun.
Infusing it with Primordial Power, Chu Qingyun beat the cyan wings, slowly rising into the air and flying rapidly toward Shilin Town.
Of course, he wasn't just going to Shilin Town to "take a look." He was after the twelve Tier Three Martial Souls he'd heard those Martial Soul Hall mbers ntion!
From their conversation, Chu Qingyun had understood a great deal.
Including the little boy from before, the twelve Martial Soul Hall mbers with Tier Three Martial Souls were the result of the Hall occupying Shilin Town for so many years, constantly killing human Martial Cultivators to accumulate them.
Shilin Town was just a small town, after all. Even including the surrounding mountain villages, it might not produce a single Tier Three Martial Soul all year.
Soone with a Tier Three Martial Soul had a chance to beco a Martial Spirit Level powerhouse and hold a high position within the Martial Soul Hall.
But now, Shilin Town had been exposed to the Great Xia Dragon Guards. It could be annihilated at any mont, so it was naturally no longer suitable for the Tier Three Martial Souls to remain there.
That was why Tunfeng and the others who had been dispatched were preparing to send all twelve of the Tier Three Martial Souls away the next morning.
And Chu Qingyun's plan was to kill them all tonight!
For his Devouring Martial Soul to advance to Tier Four, it needed many Tier Three Martial Souls. This was his chance!
「Shilin Town, Town Mayor's Mansion.」
After Chu Qingyun's group of five flew away, Tunfeng, the leader of the Martial Soul Hall's five hundred-plus Level Nine Martial Artists, was both furious and enraged. He vented his anger by kicking and punching a few subordinates.
Then, he suddenly walked over to the previous battlefield. After searching carefully for a while, he abruptly broke into a grin.
He picked up a piece of cloth from the ground. It had been torn from Chen Yu's clothes during the battle.
Clutching the piece of cloth tightly, Tunfeng's face twisted into a smug, vicious sneer. "That damned monster, has it been fed today?"
Hearing him ntion "that damned monster," the surrounding Level Nine Martial Artists all shuddered violently.
"L-Leader, sothing happened today, so that monster... it... it hasn't been fed yet..."
A Level Nine Martial Artist standing nearby stamred a reply, his voice trembling as if in great fear.
Tunfeng nodded, a vicious glint suddenly flashing in his eyes. He said to the man beside him, "Go capture a few in the Martial Master Realm and feed that monster well!"
"Those five bastards from the Great Xia Dragon Guards nearly killed ! I won't let them get away with this!"
