Li Feng said, then fell unconscious into Tian Wenxin's arms.
Tian Wenxin was speechless for a mont, but quickly regained composure: "Lei Ba, carry the Li Family Head on your back, we must leave Underground Palace City imdiately."
Lei Ba nodded, stepped forward, and swiftly hoisted Li Feng onto his back, then the group dashed into the crowd.
Li Feng was now powerless, not only was his body on the verge of collapse, but even his Sea of Consciousness was nearing the brink of destruction.
Due to a trace of the Vermilion Bird's divine sense, Li Feng's Sea of Consciousness couldn't withstand it at all, and just now Li Feng displayed great might, but it wasn't him controlling his body; the Vermilion Bird had taken over. In just two, three breaths, more than twenty Golden Core cultivators were slain, but Li Feng bore the pressure from the Holy Beast.
Just as Li Feng fell unconscious, the Vermilion Bird divine sense receded, yet a voice still echoed in Li Feng's mind.
The Vermilion Bird Holy Beast instructed Li Feng to find it at the Vermilion Bird Temple and left a beacon in his mind.
"Should we still kill Li Feng?"
Zheng Changge watched as Li Feng and his companions darted into the crowd, having seen Li Feng stumble and fall into Lady's arms; clearly, Li Feng was at the end of his strength, and that impressive show earlier was likely his last effort.
Now, Li Feng probably didn't even have the strength to kill a chicken; anyone could easily end him.
Bai Yi's eyes flickered inscrutably, evidently weighing the options.
"Brother Yi, give us a word, now that Zeng Jingtian is dead, the Eight Families are done for, but Li Feng might not know we're the ones behind the scenes."
"However, it can't be ruled out that they might know soone is orchestrating events from behind. If we try to make nice now, who knows if Li Feng would accept it? Even if he does, if the truth cos out, it'd all backfire."
Zheng Changge clearly didn't want Li Feng alive. Initially, had they not acted, approaching Li Feng wouldn't have been an issue, but since they already aid to eliminate him, changing course midway would be problematic...
"Kill."
Bai Yi suddenly spoke.
"Hmm? Brother Yi, are you saying kill?"
Even though Zheng Changge heard, he asked again.
"You heard right, you were correct; since we've started, we must cut it to the root. Moreover, if Li Feng doesn't die, he won't be of much use to ."
"Better let him die."
After weighing it, Bai Yi ultimately decided to kill Li Feng, calculating that his chance of recruiting Li Feng wasn't high, since he couldn't offer nearly as much as the Sikong family.
A Li Feng who awakened the Vermilion Bird Undying Body, or even the Vermilion Bird True Body, would be imnsely valuable to the Sikong Family, who possesses the Vermilion Bird Bloodline. They would spare no expense to recruit him. After this event, Li Feng's value would undoubtedly rise substantially.
The Sikong family wouldn't remain indifferent as before, despite their current decline, the foundation of a First Rank Family isn't easily shaken.
The Bai Family is rely a Second Rank Family now, incapable of competing with them. If they can't obtain him, better destroy him, otherwise if the Sikong family does recruit Li Feng, and rely using him as a stud to produce offspring would greatly elevate the Sikong family's status.
After all, the Sikong Family cultivates using Bloodline Inheritance, the stronger the Bloodline Power, the higher the potential of the offspring, which could rejuvenate the thinning Sikong family Bloodline, nullifying Bai Family's years of sches.
At this stage, to progress further, not only must one's ability be sufficient, but timing and place are crucial.
"Alright, I'll send out the ssage, Li Feng dreaming of leaving the Ninth Ring alive is just that—a dream."
Zheng Changge gave a cold smile, the Eight Families' Golden Core cultivators were rely the first kill-strike; the Zeng Family was the second. Besides these two kill-strikes, Bai Yi and Zheng Changge prepared a third trump card ant for stepping in.
With Lei Ba and the three others, leaving Underground Palace City wasn't difficult. Shortly, the five reached the duel arena above and didn't stop, proceeding out to find their carriage, Lei Ba placed Li Feng inside, Tian Wenxin also entered.
Lei Ba and Lan sat outside, while Shadow hid inside the carriage, then Lei Ba urged the pulling heavenly horses, the carriage departed the duel arena.
Leaving the duel arena towards White Tiger Avenue ant passing through ruins, as few lived nearby due to its murderous aura and heavy lethal energy.
Just as the carriage moved a distance, weaving through the streets, a sudden change erupted—out of both sides shot spears and arrows like a swarm of bees, instantly raining down upon the speeding carriage.
"An ambush as well?"
Lei Ba's expression grew serious, having sighed in relief upon leaving the duel arena, unexpectedly there were still opponents waiting outside—who was this, so unyielding?
Lei Ba stood atop the carriage, observing the flying spears, iron rings clashing on his arms, swiftly evoking purple thunder light.
With a punch, a Thunder Dragon burst forth, the Thunder Power perated the spears rapidly, manifesting clouds of lightning before him.
"Thunderstorm."
In the next mont, the mighty Thunder Power exploded, shattering the dense spear rain into fragnts, scattering them across the sky.
But this was evidently just an appetizer.
As Lei Ba dealt with the flying spears, energy fluctuations suddenly erged from the ground.
"Not good."
Lan's Five Senses were sharp, instantly sensing the lethal intent hidden below, Lan quickly employed techniques, rapidly condensing water droplets in the air, forming a barrier around the carriage.
In the next second.
The earth trembled.
A field of ground spikes and stone forests sprang up abruptly, the entire street turned jagged rocks, the heavenly horses pulling the carriage pierced through their abdons by spikes, and the carriage didn't escape damage. Fortunately, Lan reacted promptly, allowing the carriage to hold for a mont, enabling Tian Wenxin, sensing danger, to break open the carriage and escape with Li Feng.
"Damn it, so relentless they are." Tian Wenxin supported Li Feng, face dark as water, these successive chain traps were evidently beyond what the Zeng Family could manage, showing others wanted Li Feng dead, not just the Zeng Family.
"Put down Li Feng, you may leave, otherwise, you'll all die."
At this mont, as the ground writhed, a figure erged, revealing a bald, chest-baring, ard with a palm fan, smiling as a plump man.
"Laughing Tiger Jiang Chen."
Tian Wenxin looked at the bald fat man before him, and took a deep breath.
"Hmm? You know him?"
"He's a monk expelled from Foshan, nicknad Laughing Tiger, also known as Jiang Mile. This man broke the Buddhist Ten Precepts and was cast out, now he's a loose cultivator, yet incredibly powerful with a Golden Core Late Stage prowess."
