To the spectating disciples who hadn’t managed to flee the Dining Hall yet, Zou Feng’s attack, while astonishingly powerful, didn’t seem particularly fast.
Logically, with the strength of the two Law Enforcent Hall disciples, they should have had plenty of ti to dodge or defend.
But sohow, the two of them just stood there, stunned, and watched as the dragon of Evil Qi swallowed them whole.
Of course, it wasn’t that the two Law Enforcent Hall disciples were actually being foolish. The instant the dragon of Evil Qi appeared, the murderous aura it radiated completely overwheld their senses.
The oppressive feeling, like being a lone soldier suddenly surrounded by an army of thousands, left them capable of only reacting with terror and despair.
The power of Evil Qi has always leaned toward "intimidation." It’s just like how when soone "bristling with killing intent" walks by, passersby will instinctively get out of their way.
The incident ca and went in a flash.
Without a doubt, things had escalated.
After the impact from the dragon of Evil Qi dissipated, the two Law Enforcent Hall disciples lay collapsed in a massive crater.
One of them had a breath as faint as a silk thread, while the other had stopped breathing entirely.
The first ti Zou Feng unleashed the Evil King’s Baleful Fla Black Dragon Wave, the result was one death and one severe injury among the two Spiritual Energy Realm Cultivators.
Moreover, these two were considered relatively skilled fighters among the sect’s Cultivators.
However, even though he had essentially insta-killed them, Zou Feng wasn’t in great shape himself.
Unleashing one ultimate move after another, especially the dragon of Evil Qi, had nearly drained him completely.
Not to ntion, he had been "locked" down by the two Law Enforcent Hall disciples’ Skills earlier. Under the corrosion of ice crystals and strange fire, even his Extraordinary to Saint-level Tribulation-Indestructible Body couldn’t completely negate the damage.
But it wasn’t a major issue. He just needed to eat so restorative supplents and rest up to recover.
On the surface, however, Zou Feng feigned breathlessness, putting on the appearance of being severely injured.
He wasn’t afraid of escalating the situation. With a Law Enforcent Hall disciple killed in the Dining Hall, the investigation would certainly request the Celestial Dao Cauldron’s intervention.
A mont later, the sound of sothing tearing through the air rang out.
He Wenxuan, the Elder of Taian Mountain’s Dining Hall, finally arrived in a great panic.
Zou Feng was now well aware that the circle of Spirit Chefs ford its own faction within the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect and did not fear the Purple Cloud Association.
Therefore, He Wenxuan’s appearance ant he didn’t have to worry about any further surprises for the ti being...
That evening, Zou Feng walked out of the "Hall of Cauldron Inquiry," accompanied by He Wenxuan.
The Hall of Cauldron Inquiry was, naturally, the place for communicating with the Celestial Dao Cauldron.
But Zou Feng wasn’t qualified to participate in the entire process. A number of Inner Sect Elders and Stewards were handling the matter.
The fact that he could leave with He Wenxuan now clearly ant the matter had been resolved.
In short, the fault was not his.
He had rely chosen to fight back when faced with two Law Enforcent Hall disciples who were abusing their power for personal gain and threatening him with force.
Furthermore, the fact that Zou Feng, while in the Spirit Body Realm, could defeat two opponents in the Spiritual Energy Realm was tantamount to displaying his Talent to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect. This would garner him so extra attention and lead to focused nurturing.
However, it was worth ntioning that in any other place, a Spirit Body Realm cultivator defeating a Spiritual Energy Realm cultivator would be a sensational feat.
But in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, while still uncommon, it wasn’t considered all that rare.
After all, there were far too many prodigies gathered from countless Outer Realms. Even soone like Li Dingjie, a case of Reincarnation Rebirth, wasn’t considered a top-tier prodigy.
He Wenxuan walked ahead, his voice laced with approval. "Well done. If you had ekly followed them to the Inner Sect’s Law Enforcent Hall, you might not have been killed, but you definitely would have been crippled!"
"With the Celestial Dao Cauldron’s intervention, the Purple Cloud Association can’t escape responsibility. Even that True Inheritor backing them will be punished."
"For the next few years, at least, the Purple Cloud Association won’t dare to openly cause trouble for you. However..."
"You’ve made a powerful enemy of the True Inheritor behind them!"
Hearing this, Zou Feng couldn’t help but shrug. "Elder He, I’m... just an Outer Disciple. How could I possibly be worthy of making an enemy of a True Disciple?"
"Of course not right now. But if you manage to beco a Core Disciple, and he happens to be the type to hold a grudge..."
Zou Feng took the opportunity to ask, "Elder He, which True Inheritor is behind the Purple Cloud Association?"
"True Monarch Tianyan, Nangong Chu!"
「anwhile」
Fu Jiaming, the vice president of the Purple Cloud Association, was kneeling before a stone statue.
The statue depicted a handso and majestic man with a powerful aura.
However, on its forehead, there was also a vertical eye.
At this mont, Fu Jiaming had long since lost his usual composed and stylish deanor.
He knelt before the statue, his expression one of utter terror and apprehension.
"Brother Nangong, I... I truly knew nothing about this! It’s all Wang Rui’s fault. He acted on his own initiative..."
A mont later, an invisible and imasurably vast power emanated from the statue.
The vertical eye on the statue’s forehead seed to co to life. Its eyeball swiveled and fixed its gaze on Fu Jiaming.
"If it was not your fault, then why lose your composure?"
A voice that felt as pleasant as a spring breeze rang out.
It also allowed Fu Jiaming to let out a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Nangong, then..."
The statue’s voice continued, "I observed the stars last night. That Outer Sect disciple, Zou Feng... seems to be quite sothing."
"This person bears the aspect of a Heavenly Star of Calamity. He easily attracts disaster and will face endless tribulations."
Fu Jiaming had initially thought this was Nangong Chu’s way of reminding him not to provoke Zou Feng any further.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Chu’s tone shifted. "The stars show that the baleful star this man represents has a certain chance of becoming the Star of Death hanging over your head."
"A Star of Death?" Fu Jiaming gave a bitter, helpless smile in his heart.
’I thought Brother Nangong was letting off the hook, but these words are clearly a curse on .’
’Then again, what Brother Nangong said might be true. After all, he didn’t give himself the title of True Monarch Tianyan.’
