I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Rumble—!!!

Lei Xiaotian roared like a madman, and the aura within his body suddenly surged!

A terrifyingly dark purple lightning power surged wildly from his body, transforming into a ferocious lightning dragon that coiled above his head!

That oppressive aura far exceeded the scope of the Dao Palace Realm, and was enough to pose a fatal threat to even a Creation Realm expert!

"Hahaha! Chu Feng! To die under the divine lightning of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion, you have every reason to be proud! Die!"

Lei Xiaotian's face was deathly pale, clearly indicating that activating this power had taken a huge toll on him, but the expression on his face was full of the pleasure of revenge!

However, just as the earth-shattering thunder dragon was about to fall...

In Chu Feng's mind, a voice filled with extreme excitement and desire rang out wildly!

"Such pure lightning power! Boy, let me out!"

It is indeed the Lord of Thunder!

Chu Feng's lips curled into a smile, and with a thought, the Burial Coffin suddenly appeared in front of him!

Om-!

The coffin lid slid open, and the figure of the Thunder Lord stepped out from the blood-red vortex!

As soon as he appeared, he reached out and gently beckoned to the thunder dragon, which was powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

The once invincible thunder dragon let out a mournful cry, its massive body shrinking uncontrollably, transforming into the purest form of thunder power, which obediently flew into the Thunder Lord's hand and was swallowed whole.

Lei Xiaotian's manic expression froze on his face instantly.

What did he see?

My last trump card... was just eaten like that?

"You...you..." He pointed at Lei Zhu, trembling all over, unable to utter a single word.

The Thunder Lord swallowed the lightning power, let out a satisfied burp, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face: "It's been so long... since I've tasted such pure lightning power."

He then fixed his gaze on Lei Xiaotian, his eyes, which held the power of countless thunderbolts, and spoke indifferently.

"Where does this lightning power within you come from?"

Lei Xiaotian was terrified and could only shake his head in horror.

"Not going to talk?" The Thunder Lord frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. "Then I'll see for myself!"

He reached out and pressed his hand directly on Lei Xiaotian's head!

"ah--!"

A piercing scream rang out, and Lei Xiaotian bled from all seven orifices. His soul was forcibly torn apart by the domineering power of the Thunder Lord, and all his memories were instantly read!

A few breaths later, the Thunder Lord withdrew his hand.

Lei Xiaotian, the master of Fenglei Pavilion, lost his spirit and fell straight down from the sky.

The Thunder Lord returned directly to the Burial Coffin and urgently transmitted his voice to Chu Feng: "Boy, go to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion in Xuan Tian Prefecture immediately! There, a complete thunder vein is actually contained!"

"Thunder Pulse?" Chu Feng's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right! Thunder Veins are mineral veins formed from the convergence of the power of thunder and lightning in heaven and earth, which is of immense benefit to my recovery!"

Chu Feng nodded upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the battle was nearing its end.

Faced with Lao Hei's terrifying strength, neither the Grand Elder Xiao Changjue of the Taixu Sect nor the guards of the Pill Tower were able to resist.

In the end, apart from Xiao Changjue and Dan Xuan, who were deliberately spared by Lao Hei, had their limbs broken, and were thrown to the ground like dead dogs, everyone else perished!

Old Hei walked up to Chu Feng, nuzzled him as if seeking praise, and asked telepathically, "Master, should we kill these two guys as well?"

The entire Cangxuan Academy once again fell into a deathly silence.

Chu Feng did not answer immediately, but slowly walked to Xiao Changjue and Dan Xuan, who were lying on the ground like dead dogs.

He crouched down and, under their shocked and angry gazes, skillfully ransacked their storage rings and all their valuables.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands, stood up, looked down at the two of them, and gave them a kind smile.

"You two, do you want to live, or do you want to die?"

Xiao Changjue and Dan Xuan were both taken aback.

Despite the excruciating pain coursing through his body, Dan Xuan asked in a hoarse voice, "What...what do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple." Chu Feng's smile grew even brighter. "If you want to live, show enough sincerity to redeem your lives."

"Didn't you take our storage rings?!" Danxuan exclaimed in shock and anger.

"Those are my spoils of war, what do they have to do with your ransom?" Chu Feng retorted matter-of-factly, then his eyes turned cold. "Stop talking nonsense, I'm giving you two choices now."

"First, death; second, those behind you will have to pay with sufficient resources to redeem your lives."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changjue trembled with rage. As the Grand Elder of the Taixu Sect and a powerful expert at the seventh level of the Dao Palace Realm, he had never suffered such a humiliation!

"You brat! How dare you extort money from my Taixu Sect?! Do you even know...?"

"Noisy."

Before he could finish speaking, a hint of impatience flashed in Chu Feng's eyes. With a thought, the Burial Coffin shone with intense blood-red light, and an unparalleled devouring power instantly enveloped Xiao Changjue!

"No!"

Xiao Changjue only had time to let out a desperate roar before he was swallowed whole by that irresistible devouring force and disappeared from the world completely.

Dan Xuan, who was standing to the side, was so frightened by what he saw that his heart almost stopped beating.

That madman!

He really dares to kill!

"You...you can't kill me!"

Dan Xuan roared, his voice fierce yet betraying his fear, "I am the Vice Master of the Pill Tower! My Pill Tower is the strongest alchemy force in the Nine Provinces Continent. With a single word, we can command thousands of powerful figures across the Nine Provinces! If you oppose my Pill Tower, there will be nowhere for you to hide in heaven or on earth!"

"Oh, you talk a lot of nonsense too."

Chu Feng curled his lip, and the opening of the Burial Coffin slowly turned towards him.

"No...no!" Dan Xuan completely broke down, frantically begging for mercy, "I'll pay! I'll pay the ransom! I'll contact the Tower Master right away!"

However, Chu Feng had already lost patience.

With a flash of blood, Dan Xuan, the deputy tower master of the Pill Tower, followed in Xiao Changjue's footsteps.

Having dealt with these two toughest challenges, Chu Feng's gaze slowly fell upon Bai Jingyun, the second master of the Bai family, who was already pale and slumped on the ground.

Feeling Chu Feng's icy gaze, Bai Jingyun trembled violently, and a foul stench emanated from his crotch, causing him to wet himself in fear.

"No...don't kill me! Young Master Chu, spare my life! I...I'll give you anything!"

Chu Feng ignored him and turned to look at Madam Bai not far away, saying calmly, "Madam Bai, what do you intend to do with this person?"

Madam Bai looked at the disheveled Bai Jingyun, her beautiful face icy cold.

Without the slightest hesitation, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and a long sword materialized out of thin air.

"Traitors deserve to die!"

puff!

A flash of sword light, and Bai Jingyun's head flew into the sky.

After clearing out all the enemies, Madam Bai sheathed her longsword and solemnly bowed to Chu Feng: "Thank you for your help today, Young Master Chu. I, Yin Susu, will never forget this kindness and gratitude."

Then, as if remembering something, a hint of urgency flashed in her beautiful eyes as she asked, "Young Master, how can I completely eradicate the 'Nine Nether Heart-Corroding' poison from my body?"

Chu Feng pondered for a moment, glanced around, and slowly walked up to her. He whispered the method proposed by the Demoness in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"..."

The words fell.

Madam Bai's elegant and beautiful face suddenly flushed red from her cheeks to her ears, and even her snow-white and slender neck was tinged with an alluring pink.

Her bright, phoenix-shaped eyes widened unconsciously, a mixture of embarrassment, annoyance, and disbelief in them.

Looking at her like this, Chu Feng awkwardly touched his nose: "Ahem, this method... is indeed a bit abrupt. If Madam is unwilling, I will think of other ways, or find the person who poisoned you and see if they have an antidote."

Upon hearing this, the blush on Madam Bai's face faded slightly, replaced by a solemn and resolute expression.

"The one who poisoned me was a poison master hired by the Yang family of Yunzhou at great expense. They wish I were dead, so why would they give me an antidote?"

She took a deep breath, as if she had made some important decision. Her beautiful phoenix eyes stared directly at Chu Feng, and although her voice still trembled slightly, it was filled with an undeniable firmness.

"The Bai family is now beset by internal and external troubles. I must recover all my strength as soon as possible and go back to take charge of the overall situation."

"I...I agree to use the method you suggested, young master!"

……

at the same time.

Above the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Without warning, a huge rift was torn open in the void.

An elderly woman with white hair, dressed in simple linen clothes and holding a snake-head cane, slowly walked out from the crack.

As soon as she appeared, an ancient, vast, and terrifying pressure, seemingly above the laws of this world, suddenly descended!

Throughout the capital, countless living beings prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling under this oppressive force.

The old woman's cloudy eyes seemed to pierce through illusions, locking onto the depths of the palace.

"Hehe, it is indeed pure phoenix bloodline. It was worth the trip I made."

Her hoarse voice slowly echoed over the palace.

The next moment, a stunningly beautiful figure, dressed in a dragon robe and wearing an imperial crown, soared into the sky, confronting the old woman from afar.

It was none other than Empress Xiao Nihuang of the Great Xia Dynasty!

"Who are you?"

Xiao Nihuang's phoenix eyes were icy cold as she warily looked at the unfathomable old woman before her.
