After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

These words shocked the entire hall!

They were naturally unaware of Lin Fengmian's Core Formation.

The expressions of the peak masters who had initially been observing indifferently all changed.

Is this kid crazy? The enemy is at the gates, and he, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, dares to walk right into their trap?

Chu Qingyi's heart tightened suddenly, and her hand in her sleeve clenched tightly!

She spoke almost instinctively, her voice carrying an urgency she herself didn't realize:

"No!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had overreacted and quickly composed herself, but she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

"You... your cultivation is not yet stable. To rashly go into battle is tantamount to walking into a trap!"

She stared at him, suppressing the surging emotions within her, her voice deepening:

"Lin Fengmian, don't mention this matter again!"

However, before Lin Fengmian could respond, a sharp voice rang out from the side.

"Ha! Lin Fengmian, who do you think you are?"

A young cultivator dressed in a golden robe strode out from behind Elder Song; he was none other than Song Qingyu, Elder Song's grandson.

His face was grim, and he pointed at Lin Fengmian's nose and cursed:

"You're nothing but a good-for-nothing who climbed to the top by relying on women. You barely managed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, yet you dare to spout such nonsense? What do you mean by going out to test the waters—I think you just want to take this opportunity to run away!"

"We'll throw our entire Hehuan Sect down with you to your grave!"

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, spittle flying from his mouth:

"If you really care about the sect, you should honestly wash yourself clean, tie yourself up, and send yourself out to be dealt with by the bigwigs of the Heavenly Star Alliance!"

"Maybe if they're in a good mood, they might let my Hehuan Sect off the hook!"

Before he finished speaking, several cultivators from the Xiao family around him echoed his sentiments, their words filled with sarcasm and malice.

Lin Fengmian's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Chu Qingyi's pretty face, hidden beneath her veil, instantly frosted over!

Her gaze was icy, and with a slight lift of her jade-like hand, a sharp spiritual energy had already quietly condensed—

However, the next moment——

A sword light, a hundred times faster than her movements, suddenly exploded!

"Noisy."

Lin Fengmian coldly uttered two words, and with one hand pointing like a sword, an extremely pure golden sword aura shot out from his fingertips!

The sword energy was as fast as thunder and as sharp as lightning. In an instant, it pierced through the spiritual energy shield on Song Qingyu's body!

That shield, which was strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was as fragile as paper in front of this sword energy!

"puff--"

Before the mockery on Song Qingyu's face had faded, she felt a chill in her chest.

He looked down, staring incredulously at the fist-sized hole in his chest, blood gushing out and staining his golden robes red.

"You...you..."

He opened his mouth, but before he could finish a single word, he fell backward like a puppet with its strings cut, crashing to the ground with a thud.

Dead beyond dead.

Inside the main hall, there was a deathly silence.

All eyes were fixed on the figure in the blue robe, as if they had seen a ghost.

Because in that instant, Lin Fengmian's aura was no longer concealed.

His spiritual energy was incredibly solid and profound, and his sword intent was a hundred times purer than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Core Formation cultivator!

"A Core Formation cultivator!"

Someone gasped in shock, their voice trembling!

"When did he achieve Core Formation?!"

"How long has he been away from the sect? He went to the Prodigy Competition, and he came back already at the Core Formation stage?!"

"How is this possible!"

The hall erupted in uproar. The elders who had been clamoring to hand over Lin Fengmian were now deathly pale, their lips trembling, and a chill ran down their spines.

In just a few short years, he went from being a despised furnace to a Core Formation cultivator—such a speed of cultivation is simply astonishing!

A strange light flashed in Chu Qingyi's eyes, and the corners of her lips turned up slightly.

Xiao Xiyue was both surprised and delighted. She covered her lips with her hand, her eyes filled with admiration.

However, before everyone could recover from the shock—

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out!

"Grandson—!!"

Elder Song's eyes widened in fury, and his spiritual power erupted like a volcano.

"You little beast! You dared to kill my grandson!!"

He roared, his palms suddenly forming a seal, and a vicious "Soul-Splitting Palm" slammed down towards Lin Fengmian's crown!

Wherever the palm wind passed, the void emitted a shrill whistle!

Chu Qingyi was startled and instinctively wanted to stop him, but the sudden movement aggravated the hidden injuries left by the suppression formation, causing her to falter and slow down.

Honglian was about to step forward with light steps when Lin Fengmian stopped her with a telepathic message:

"Uncle-Master Honglian, wait a moment! Let me do it myself!"

His eyes turned cold. Instead of dodging, he took a step forward to meet the angry blow!

As far as he knew, Elder Song's lineage, along with the peak masters who had just jumped out, were all pawns planted by the Xiao family in the Hehuan Sect.

If these people are allowed to continue to hinder us from within, let alone resist external enemies, the internal strife alone will be enough to bring down the sect!

Since Chu Qingyi has already swiftly killed Elder Yao,

He would then seize the opportunity to completely eliminate these parasites! He would unite the power of the Hehuan Sect to face external threats together!

To avoid being stabbed in the back by one's own people in the future!

"Nine Yang Divine Seal!"

Lin Fengmian formed hand seals, and the brilliant Golden Core of the Great Dao within his body spun wildly, with the vast pure Yang spiritual power pouring into his palm seals like a river bursting its banks!

A golden sun suddenly appeared behind him, its supremely yang, powerful, and domineering aura sweeping away all gloom like the blazing sun in the sky!

Elder Song was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and had been immersed in internal strife and intrigue for many years, so his foundation was already weak.

Faced with this all-out attack, he felt an overwhelming pressure that could destroy the world, and the anger in his eyes instantly turned into endless terror!

"No--!"

boom--!

A burst of golden light erupted, like the sun exploding! The entire hall was blindingly illuminated!

Elder Song didn't even have time to utter a scream before his body crumbled inch by inch in the golden light, turning into ashes and annihilating both his body and soul!

When the light faded, only a faint scorch mark remained on the spot, with no trace left.

The main hall fell silent once again.

This time, the silence was even deeper and more terrifying than before.

The way everyone looked at Lin Fengmian completely changed.

The elders who had been secretly plotting were now pale-faced, their legs trembling, and they didn't dare to utter a sound.

It's one thing for Song Qingyu to be killed, after all, he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But Elder Song—at the very least, he's a peak elder in the mid-stage of Core Formation!

Lin Fengmian annihilated him with a mere wave of his hand, leaving him no chance to resist!

What kind of elixir did Lin Fengmian just form?!

Could it be a first-grade golden elixir?

How is that possible!

Chu Qingyi stood on the high platform, looking at the figure in green robes. A slight smile curved her lips beneath her veil, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder.

The peak masters looked at each other, their eyes almost overflowing with shock.

This kid's strength is simply terrifying!
