Lin Lei stood to the side, his brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.
On the battlefield, the killings continued.
The allied forces of Heaven and Qin Realm have become completely bloodthirsty.
They pursued him relentlessly, from before the Ninth Fortress all the way to the edge of the Dark Abyss.
The remaining Heavenly Demons number less than one percent of their original strength.
They were tightly compressed by the Allied forces at the entrance to the Dark Abyss.
Ye Fan was covered in blood, the golden battle blood mixed with the black demonic blood, making him look even more awe-inspiring.
He raised his right fist, about to give the order for a general offensive.
Just then.
when!when!when!
Three sharp and loud gongs rang out without warning from the top of the Ninth Fortress, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.
Upon hearing this sound, all the Allied soldiers who were charging into battle paused involuntarily.
"what happened?"
Why call a retreat?
"The Heavenly Demon is at its last gasp; we'll wipe it out soon!"
The soldiers looked unwillingly towards the city wall.
Ye Fan glared back angrily, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
can be seen.
On the city wall, Luo Feng, Qin Yu, and Lin Lei stood motionless.
"Luo Feng!"
Ye Fan's roar was like a million thunderbolts exploding at once, causing the entire world's ocean to surge violently. "What do you want to do!"
His roar transformed into tangible sound waves, crashing violently against the protective array of the Ninth Pass, creating visible ripples.
On the city wall, facing Ye Fan's overwhelming rage, Luo Feng showed no fear whatsoever; instead, his smile grew even brighter.
"Ye Fan, what are you yelling about?"
He looked down at him calmly, "Brother Lin Lei is the garrison commander of the Ninth Fortress. It is his right to sound the retreat."
"What right do you, a mere guest soldier who came to provide support, have to shout and yell here?"
"you!"
Ye Fan was so angry that his black hair danced wildly, and his golden blood energy almost solidified. If he hadn't still had a sliver of reason left, he probably would have already thrown a punch.
"Luo Feng, you are colluding with the enemy!"
The First Emperor, standing to the side, shouted sternly, his imperial dragon aura soaring into the sky, with nine black dragons roaring angrily behind him, "To allow the main force of the Heavenly Demons to escape is tantamount to raising a tiger to cause future trouble! If the Heavenly Demons return one day, can you bear the responsibility?"
Qin Yu stepped forward, a compassionate expression on his face, and sighed, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken."
"Don't pursue a desperate enemy; I'm sure you all understand this principle."
"Although these demons have been defeated, if we push them into a corner, we can't guarantee they won't launch a desperate counterattack. In that case, how many more casualties will our allied forces suffer?"
"For the safety of the mainland and to reduce unnecessary sacrifices, we have had to issue this order after discussion. We hope that you can understand our good intentions."
His words were righteous and impeccable.
It was as if their decision to withdraw their troops was entirely for the benefit of the Allied forces.
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
The Void Emperor trembled with rage.
He wished he could immediately summon the Void Mirror and banish those disgusting faces on the city wall to an unknown space-time forever.
And just as they were arguing...
Those demons, driven to the brink of despair, grasped at this straw as if it were their only hope.
They let out a series of shrill cries, turned around, and plunged into the boundless dark abyss behind them, disappearing without a trace.
Watching helplessly as the last Heavenly Demon vanished into endless darkness, Ye Fan's chest heaved violently, and his golden battle blood almost burned from his body.
He turned around abruptly, his golden eyes blazing with fury powerful enough to incinerate the entire world.
boom!
Ye Fan's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
next moment.
He appeared atop the majestic walls of the Ninth Pass, landing directly in front of Luo Feng, Qin Yu, and Lin Lei.
The violent and unparalleled blood energy transformed into an invisible storm, sweeping across the entire section of the city wall.
Do you want to die?
Ye Fan's voice wasn't loud, but it contained an extremely suppressed killing intent. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, causing the surrounding space and time to freeze.
Luo Feng's expression changed, and he subconsciously took half a step back, but he quickly regained his footing and sneered repeatedly, "Ye Fan, mind your place!"
"This is the Ninth Fortress, not a place where you can run wild!"
"Pah!" Ye Fan spat a mouthful of bloody saliva at Luo Feng's feet, his domineering arrogance only increasing. "The Ninth Pass? If we hadn't fought this bloody battle here, this pass would have been trampled to the ground by the Heavenly Demons long ago! You still have the nerve to mention your status to me?"
He stepped forward, almost touching Luo Feng's face. The terrifying pressure emanating from him made Luo Feng's breath catch in his throat.
"I'll ask you one more time, who gave the order to sound the gong just now?"
Lin Lei was about to speak when Qin Yu stopped him.
Qin Yu still wore that gentle smile, as if the tense atmosphere before him had nothing to do with him.
"Brother Ye, why get so angry?"
"Brother Luo Feng and Brother Lin Lei were also thinking about the bigger picture."
"The bigger picture?" Ye Fan burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "My men are risking their lives in front of you, and you're stabbing me in the back, and you're telling me it's for the bigger picture?"
"Ye Fan!" Luo Feng roared in fury, "Don't make false accusations! We did this to preserve our strength and avoid unnecessary casualties!"
"Preserve strength?" Ye Fan's laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a chilling killing intent. "I think it's about preserving the Heavenly Demon's strength!"
Boom!
The figures of the First Emperor, the Great Emperor Wushi, the Great Emperor of Void, and others also appeared one after another on the city wall, standing side by side with Ye Fan. Their powerful auras locked onto Luo Feng and the other two.
War is imminent.
Qin Yu's expression changed slightly; he sensed Ye Fan's undisguised killing intent.
He took a deep breath and spoke with utmost sincerity.
"Brother Ye, this matter was indeed due to our oversight. I, Qin Yu, on behalf of Brother Luo Feng and Brother Lin Lei, extend my sincerest apologies to you and to all the Heavenly Court and Qin Realm soldiers who fought valiantly."
"Afterwards, our Three Gods Alliance will present generous gifts as compensation."
He adopted an extremely humble posture, speaking flawlessly and taking full responsibility, while also offering substantial rewards in an attempt to quell Ye Fan's anger.
"Compensation?" Ye Fan sneered. "Do you think you can compensate for the lives of my brothers with a few broken magic weapons?"
"Today, the three of you must give me an explanation!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind tearing this shabby gate down right now and twisting your three heads off to use as chamber pots!"
"You dare!" Luo Feng shouted angrily.
"You'll see if I dare!" Ye Fan retorted sharply, his golden blood energy surging once more, and a massive holy body dharma image appeared behind him, the fist intent of the Six Paths of Reincarnation beginning to condense.
Just then.
Zhao Feng's figure also appeared behind the group. The Primordial Divine Sword in his hand had disappeared at some point, and the thirty-three supreme treasures once again surrounded him, exuding a domineering aura.
His appearance caused Qin Yu's pupils to shrink sharply.
For some reason, compared to the furious Ye Fan, Zhao Feng, who had remained silent throughout, posed a deeper threat to him.
Qin Yu's gaze swept back and forth between Zhao Feng and Ye Fan, and finally he sighed and bowed deeply to Ye Fan.
“Brother Ye, today’s events were ordered by me. If you think we have done something wrong, then I, Qin Yu, will take full responsibility without complaint.”
"But I urge Brother Ye to consider the billions of lives on the Boundless Continent and temporarily quell your wrath. Do not start a major conflict here, or you will only make the Heavenly Demons laugh at you, causing pain to your loved ones and joy to your enemies!"
His words were sincere and heartfelt.
Ye Fan stared at him, his eyes churning with killing intent for a long time before finally suppressing his aura.
Although he knew in his heart that Luo Feng, Qin Yu and his group were behind this, their reasons were not untenable. If he took action directly, he would be put on the defensive.
"it is good."
Ye Fan squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth, "Today, I'm giving face to the hundreds of millions of people on the mainland."
He stretched out his finger and pointed at Luo Feng, Qin Yu, and Lin Lei in turn.
“But you all need to remember this.”
"This is the last time."
"If this happens again, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, he won't be able to save you!"
Done.
He didn't look at the three of them again, but turned around and waved to the First Emperor and the others.
"Let's go!"
The powerful figures from the Heavenly Court and the Qin Realm, filled with murderous aura and rage, transformed into streaks of light and left this section of the city wall, returning to their respective defense zones.
The tense atmosphere on the city wall only gradually dissipated after Ye Fan and the others had completely disappeared from sight.
Lin Lei let out a long breath, only to find his back soaked in cold sweat.
For a fleeting moment, he genuinely believed that Ye Fan would act recklessly.
"Hmph! A bunch of brutes!"
Luo Feng's face turned ashen. He spat in the direction Ye Fan and the others had left, "Besides using your fists, what else can you do? You're good for nothing but causing trouble!"
Qin Yu remained silent.
He walked to the edge of the city wall, looking down at the World Sea below, stained dark red with demonic blood, and the dark abyss that had returned to its deathly silence. His eyes, which contained the birth and death of the universe, flickered with uncertain light.
"Brother Qin Yu, are we just going to let this go?"
Luo Feng walked up to him and said unwillingly, "We have been humiliated by Ye Fan today. If we don't get revenge, where will we put the face of the Three Gods Alliance?"
Qin Yu turned around, the gentle smile on his face gone, replaced by a gloomy expression.
"We must get our revenge."
"but not now."
"Ye Fan is a man of formidable combat strength, and the Heavenly Court behind him has an even deeper foundation."
"Not to mention, Hong Xuanji helped him before, which means that he is very likely to have a connection with the Yangshen Great World."
"A head-on confrontation is not a wise move."
"What should we do then?" Lin Lei asked anxiously as he joined in. "Are we just going to let them run rampant on our turf?"
Qin Yu shook his head, his gaze passing over the two of them and finally landing on the camp of the Heavenly Court and Qin Realm allied forces in the distance.
"Ye Fan is nothing but a martial artist, brave but reckless, not worth worrying about."
"What I really fear is that Zhao Feng."
Upon hearing this name, both Luo Feng and Lin Lei's expressions turned serious.
Zhao Feng's performance in today's battle was truly amazing.
Breaking through in the face of battle, with his cultivation at the early stage of the Second Heaven, he swiftly and decisively slew three terrifying Heavenly Demons at the peak of the Third Heaven.
The domineering and unparalleled fist technique, the mysterious and unpredictable thirty-three-fold treasure, and especially the terrifying sword move that annihilated everything in the end, all left an indelible impression on them.
"This person's growth rate is too terrifying." Luo Feng's voice also turned serious. "Today he was able to kill a peak third-level expert. Given time, won't he be able to trample us under his feet?"
"Indeed." Qin Yu nodded, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes. "This boy must not be allowed to live!"
“But…” Linley looked troubled. “We are allies with the Heavenly Court now. If we take action ourselves and things are exposed, it will probably provoke the hostility of all forces across the Infinite Continent. At that time…”
"Who said we had to do it ourselves?"
Luo Feng seemed to remember something and spoke with a smile.
Qin Yu and Lin Lei both looked at him.
Luo Feng spoke slowly and deliberately: "That Zhao Feng has offended more than just us."
"In the Chaos Realm, he killed the avatars of many powerful figures, such as Wang Lin, Bai Xiaochun, and Meng Hao..."
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "I know what you're saying, but these people are not easy to deal with. Cooperating with them is like asking a tiger for its skin. Who do you think we should find?"
Luo Feng laughed and said, "Li, Qi, Ye!"
The moment that name was uttered, Qin Yu and Lin Lei's expressions changed drastically.
Li Qiye!
That forbidden being who spanned countless eras and was revered as the "First Ancestor of All Ages"!
Legend has it that he personally nurtured several supreme giants at the Immortal Emperor level and also personally destroyed more than one era.
Even on the Infinite Continent, he was a top expert, with his cultivation level suspected to have reached the fifth level of the Primordial Realm, or even higher.
Lin Lei nodded and laughed, "Brilliant! Li Qiye is powerful and vindictive. With his strength, as long as he knows Zhao Feng is here, he will definitely kill him!"
"Excellent! What a brilliant scheme to use someone else to do the dirty work!" Qin Yu clapped his hands in admiration. "This plan is brilliant!"
"If Li Qiye makes a move, Zhao Feng will surely die! Moreover, no one will be able to trace it back to us!"
……
the other side.
The atmosphere in the camps of the Heavenly Court and the Qin Realm was somewhat oppressive.
Still enraged, Ye Fan smashed a stone table made from star debris into dust with a single punch.
"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"
He roared repeatedly, and the violent golden blood energy made the entire tent buzz.
"If it weren't for the greater good, I would have killed those three bastards today!"
The First Emperor sat to one side, his expression solemn. He picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
"Emperor Ye, please calm down."
"Although Luo Feng and the others were in the wrong today, they are, after all, the nominal leaders of the Ninth Fortress."
"If we really fight them here, it will only cause the defense line to collapse, which will play right into the hands of the Heavenly Demon."
Emperor Wushi, Emperor Xukong, and others nodded in agreement.
They all understand the principle.
But the resentment in his heart was simply too much to swallow. (End of Chapter)
