Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

The newcomer had white hair and carried a long sword on his back. His left sleeve was visibly empty, suggesting that he had a missing arm. However, he was always shrouded in an extremely powerful aura of sword intent, clearly a sword cultivator with considerable strength!

"Is this guy Xu Tianlong, the leader of the Five Spirits Society and the head of the Five Spirits?"

Looking up at the white-robed swordsman in the sky, Lu Feng frowned slightly, his face gradually becoming solemn. "Tch, just as rumored, he's no ordinary person..."

Although the other party is a sword cultivator like Shen Tianzhong, his strength and cultivation are even greater, having reached the seventh level of the Spirit Soul Realm!

In addition, the aura of sword intent emanating from Xu Tianlong was also quite remarkable, far exceeding the perfection of sword intent, and could be considered a true manifestation of sword intent!

It should be noted that the power of intent is inherently ethereal and difficult for ordinary martial artists to perceive with the naked eye. However, Xu Tianlong was able to cultivate his sword intent to the level of transformation, which is enough to show that his sword skills are superb!

"Second level of the Spirit Soul Realm?"

Seemingly sensing Lu Feng's prying eyes, Xu Tianlong also glanced at him. When he discovered that the former's Yuan Power cultivation was only at the second level of the Spirit Soul Realm, a hint of surprise appeared on his cold face.

After all, his fourth brother, Cheng Xuyuan, was a fourth-level Spirit Soul Realm cultivator in his lifetime, and he had also awakened one of the rare Spirit Souls, the "Rock Spirit Soul." Not to mention ordinary experts of the same level, even experts at the fifth level of the Spirit Soul Realm might not be able to break through his defenses!

However, Cheng Xuyuan was now killed by Lu Feng, an unknown junior, which naturally surprised Xu Tianlong greatly.

"Big brother, just as you predicted, second brother and fifth sister have already..."

Beside him, a tall, burly man with a strong build stepped forward and whispered something to Xu Tianlong, his face equally serious and solemn.

The tall, burly man was named Xiong Baidao. Not only was his cultivation also remarkable, reaching the fourth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, but he was also one of Xu Tianlong's sworn brothers. He ranked third within the Five Spirits Society, second only to Xu Tianlong himself and Xia Zhenhu standing beside him.

However, compared to the deceased Cheng Xuyuan and Xia Zhenhu and others, Xiong Baidao, the third brother, was more valued by Xu Tianlong and could be considered the latter's loyal lackey.

Therefore, when Xu Tianlong suddenly arrived at Lingtai Peak, he naturally had Xiong Baidao, his lackey, by his side.

"Don't wash your dirty linen in public, let's deal with that brat named Lu Feng first...!"

Xu Tianlong glanced at Xiong Baidao beside him as well, his tone still cold, and a chilling killing intent suddenly swept out.

"Yes, brother!"

Seeing Xu Tianlong's murderous intent, Xiong Baidao didn't waste any words. He immediately cupped his fists and then leaped towards Lu Feng, who was weak on the arena below.

"not good...!"

Seeing Xiong Baidao suddenly attack, Lu Feng's heart also trembled, and he instantly felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

After all, he had been through a series of fierce battles, and his injuries were not optimistic. He was almost entirely holding on with the help of his stubborn will. Moreover, the Yuan energy in his dantian was completely exhausted, and he had only one-tenth of his strength left!

Right now, let alone dealing with Xiong Baidao, who is at the fourth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, even any martial artist at the Opening Meridian Realm or even the Condensation Yuan Realm could easily crush Lu Feng!

Boom!

Just as Lu Feng was about to die, a black-clad figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and at the same time raised her hand and instantly knocked back the murderous Xiong Baidao with a palm strike. Her aura was equally impressive!

"What's going on?!"

"What just happened?"

"I'm not seeing things, am I? Senior Sister Leng Ying actually stepped in to help Lu Feng out of that predicament?"

"Wait a minute! Aren't Lu Feng and the Five Spirits Society sworn enemies? Why would Senior Sister Leng Ying make a move now..."

The sudden change left many students watching from the sidelines of the martial arts arena dumbfounded. For a moment, countless eyes turned to Lu Feng, who was standing weakly on the platform, seemingly puzzled as to why he was being protected by Leng Ying.

"Fifth Sister, what's wrong...!"

Seeing Leng Ying suddenly stop him and save the weak Lu Feng, Xiong Baidao's pupils also contracted slightly, and his face was full of confusion.

After all, Lu Feng not only had a long-standing feud with the Five Spirits Society, but they had also just killed Cheng Xuyuan, so it was a full-blown saga of old and new grudges.

Therefore, Xiong Baidao couldn't understand why Leng Ying was trying to stop him.

"Brother Xiong San".

Seemingly having guessed what the other was thinking, Leng Ying slowly withdrew his hand and stood up, looking again at Xiong Baidao, who was filled with indignation. "Fourth Brother's death was his own fault, and he has no one to blame but himself."

"Besides, Fourth Brother and Lu Feng had already made a life-or-death bet. Now that he has lost his life, it can only be said that he was outmatched. Although I also feel sorry for Fourth Brother's death, both publicly and privately, Fourth Brother was at fault first..."

"Besides, Falling Star Academy has always had a rule against killing fellow disciples, a fact that I'm sure you, Brother Xiong, are well aware of..."

Leng Ying spoke calmly, and even in the face of Xiong Baidao's threat, he did not back down an inch, seemingly determined to protect Lu Feng.

"Rules? Hmph, all I know is that failing to avenge my brothers is breaking the rules of the Five Spirits Society...!"

Seeing this, Xu Tianlong sneered, as if he had expected it. At the same time, his face became even colder and more ruthless. "Fifth Sister, you've changed a lot these past few days. Now you're even siding with outsiders. Could it be that Lu Feng secretly drugged you?"

"Big brother, that's not what fifth sister actually meant..."

"That's enough!"

Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense and a conflict about to erupt, Xia Zhenhu hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Tianlong in a cold voice.

"Second brother, your influence is also crucial to Fifth Sister's current state...!"

Xu Tianlong glanced at Xia Zhenhu beside him, his face still incredibly gloomy. "If you hadn't spoiled Fifth Sister so much back then, practically obeying her every word, and hadn't let Lu Feng go at Mercury Peak, Fourth Brother wouldn't be dead at all...!"

"As for the claim that Fourth Brother's death was his own fault, that's utter nonsense! Anyone who dares to offend the Five Spirits Society should be killed without exception. This is the ironclad rule that has allowed the Five Spirits Society to stand strong forever!"

"Big brother, I..."

Faced with Xu Tianlong's angry rebuke, Xia Zhenhu was speechless for a moment, while Leng Ying, standing to the side, frowned, a hint of disappointment flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Brother Xu, you really have changed. You've become more and more brutal and bloodthirsty, more and more ambitious, even resorting to any means to achieve your goals...!"

"I thought that with my and my second brother's efforts, we could help you return to your original intentions when you founded the Five Spirits Society. But now it seems that it was all just wishful thinking on my part. Since that's the case, I have nothing left to regret..."

Having said that, Leng Ying slowly took a deep breath, then coldly declared, word by word, "From this day forward, I, Leng Ying, officially withdraw from the Five Spirits Society. From this day forward, the two shall have no further connection!"

"What did you say?!"

"Fifth Sister, you...you're leaving the Five Spirits Society...?!"

"Uh, what's going on now...!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Xu Tianlong and the others' expressions change slightly, but even Lu Feng, who was hiding behind Leng Ying, was somewhat dumbfounded.

After all, he never imagined that his casual killing of Cheng Xuyuan would cause an internal split within the Five Spirits Society, and even lead to its complete collapse!
