Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

Xiong Baidao's face flickered, then he couldn't help but say, "Fifth Sister, are you kidding me? We were sworn brothers in the past, how could things have come to this...!"

However, Leng Ying shook his head slightly in the face of Xiong Baidao's advice, clearly indicating that his mind was made up.

"Hmph, what a fine 'no further connection' statement!"

Seeing that Leng Ying was determined to sever all ties with the Five Spirits Society, Xu Tianlong frowned slightly, then changed the subject, saying, "However, even if you threaten to withdraw from the Five Spirits Society today, I will not let Lu Feng off easily!"

"Third brother, make your move!"

Ignoring Leng Ying who was blocking his way, Xu Tianlong waved his hand again, his killing intent undiminished.

"Yes, brother!"

Upon hearing the order, Xiong Baidao twisted his neck and limbs, then dodged to the side again, intending to bypass Leng Ying's obstruction and take Lu Feng's life directly.

"How dare you!"

Seeing this, Leng Ying's dantian also erupted with a considerable amount of Yuan power, and he immediately stopped the aggressive Xiong Baidao, clearly having completely broken with the Five Spirits Society!

"Fifth Sister, I'm sorry to offend you!"

Seeing Leng Ying intervene again, Xiong Baidao did not hold back at all. His inner dantian energy surged out like a tidal wave, and at the same time, he raised his hand and punched the man's abdomen.

"You little beast, even the King of Heaven himself can't save you today!"

The moment Xiong Baidao launched his attack, Xu Tianlong, who was standing by, did not stand idly by. He immediately knocked back Leng Ying, who was blocking his way, and then turned to attack Lu Feng on the other side of the arena.

"The Claw of Annihilation!"

Xu Tianlong's right hand transformed into a claw, with a large amount of Yuan energy wrapped around it. A faint black dragon shadow could be seen flickering within, suggesting it was a powerful ninth-grade martial art. Instantly, it aimed directly at Lu Feng's neck!

"Damn it! My energy and injuries haven't fully recovered yet...!"

Faced with Xu Tianlong's deadly claw attack, Lu Feng's face also turned pale. He immediately cried out in alarm towards the treasure basin deep within his dantian, "Ancient Gu, save me...!"

Given his current physical condition and the little Yuan energy he has left, he is no match for Xu Tianlong at his peak!

Meanwhile, Leng Ying was being held back by Xiong Baidao and had no time to spare. If Gu Canyang didn't make a move, Lu Feng would most likely be doomed!

"Xu Tianlong, that's enough!"

Just as Xu Tianlong's right claw was about to crush Lu Feng's neck, a clear and solemn female voice suddenly came from afar.

Swish! Clang!

The next moment, a crimson spear shadow swept across the void, like a meteor falling to earth, instantly forcing Xu Tianlong's offensive back. This caused the students outside the martial arts arena to change their expressions slightly, showing surprise.

"This is... the Overlord Spear!"

"It's Elder Liu!"

"What's going on? Even Elder Liu has made a move...!"

Looking at the blood-red Overlord Spear on the arena floor, some of the students exclaimed in surprise, clearly recognizing its owner. The atmosphere at the scene became even more tense.

"May I ask Elder Liu why you are stopping the students?"

Looking up in the direction of the person who made the move, Xu Tianlong saw Liu Lanyu slowly descend to the center of the arena. He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

After all, Liu Lanyu is an elder of the Scripture Hall and one of the famous Seven Falling Stars, while Lu Feng is just an unknown nobody from the North Academy. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that the other party would step in to protect Lu Feng!

"Xu Tianlong, the Falling Star Academy strictly forbids fighting among fellow disciples, and no one may violate this rule. I'm sure you're well aware of this..."

Faced with Xu Tianlong's probing, Liu Lanyu simply crossed her arms and said coldly, "As for Cheng Xuyuan's death, it was entirely because he was less skilled than others. Now you intend to take your anger out on Lu Feng because of this, which would be breaking the academy's rules, and this elder will naturally not allow it."

"Heh, right now, even if your master himself intervened, he couldn't change this reality. Rules are rules after all..."

"Old Medicine Maniac is right. As elders of the academy, we can't let you students break the rules!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Butong and Li Dazui also arrived in mid-air and landed next to Liu Lanyu. They were clearly on the latter's side and did not support Xu Tianlong's actions.

After all, Lu Feng is not only exceptionally talented, but he has also awakened twin souls, making him a rare cultivation prodigy, one in a hundred years.

As elders of the academy, Liu Lanyu and the others naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch such a promising talent as Lu Feng perish.

"Big brother, what should we do next...?"

Seeing that Liu Lanyu and the other elders opposed killing Lu Feng, Xiong Baidao was also very nervous and immediately turned to look at Xu Tianlong beside him.

After all, Liu Lanyu and the others are not only Yuanhai Realm experts, but also elders of the academy, while they are just a group of students from the South Academy. If they were to oppose the former now, it would not only be considered a great act of treason, but also tantamount to courting death!

"The elders are right to admonish me. This was a momentary impulse on my part, and I will certainly take it as a warning in the future!"

Seemingly realizing this as well, Xu Tianlong forcibly suppressed his raging anger. Then, he gradually relaxed his clenched fists beneath his sleeves and bowed again to Liu Lanyu and the others before him, saying, "Esteemed elders, I have important matters to attend to and must take my leave now!"

"Third brother, let's go!"

After saying that, Xu Tianlong flicked his sleeves and turned to leave Lingtai Peak, seemingly having given up on the idea of ​​revenge.

Seeing this, Xiong Baidao, who was standing nearby, quickly followed suit.

"Is that all?"

Watching Xu Tianlong and the others hurriedly leave, Lu Feng, who had narrowly escaped death, breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he had not received any response when he asked Gu Canyang for help, and if it weren't for the intervention of Liu Lanyu and the other elders, he would most likely be doomed!

"You little beast! The revenge for my fourth brother will never be left so easily...!"

Just as Lu Feng was feeling sentimental, he saw Xu Tianlong's murderous gaze sweep over him again. At the same time, his lips moved slightly, and a voice transmitted from the shadows said, "Even with Elder Liu and the others protecting you today, you won't be able to keep jumping around for long...!"

"The day the Starfall Secret Realm reopens will be the day you all perish...!"

Xu Tianlong's voice transmission gradually subsided, and Lu Feng's expression grew increasingly serious.

"The Starfall Secret Realm?"

For some reason, he felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.

"Lu Feng, are you alright?"

Just as Lu Feng was stunned, Liu Lanyu slowly stepped forward. At this moment, a rare gentleness flashed across her cold face, as if she greatly admired him.

After all, Lu Feng had only been in the academy for a short year, but his strength and cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. He had even defeated Shen Tianzhong and Cheng Xuyuan, among other experts from the Southern Academy. He could only be called a prodigy!

At present, not only Elder Liu Lanyu of the Scripture Hall, but also Elder Dao Butong of the Pill Hall and Elder Li Dazui of the Dining Hall have become interested in and curious about Lu Feng. This is why the three of them took action to protect Lu Feng.

"Reporting to Elder Liu, this student is fine, only suffering from excessive depletion of Yuan energy and some superficial injuries..."

Lu Feng was flattered by Liu Lanyu's concern and immediately bowed in greeting.

After all, Liu Lanyu's fiery temper and unsmiling nature were well-known within Falling Star Academy, and few people could get a good look from her. It was normal for Lu Feng to be surprised!

"It's good that you're alright. If you have any questions about martial arts, you can come to the scripture hall to find me."

Nodding slightly, Liu Lanyu turned and left the next moment, her face still indifferent and without any change in expression.

"Huh, when did Junior Sister Liu become so easy to talk to? Isn't she usually the one who hates being bothered by these students the most...?"

Seeing this, Li Dazui was also surprised, while Dao Butong stroked his mustache and a strange, intriguing smile appeared on his lips. "Hehe, as far as I can tell, Junior Sister Liu is probably planning to take this boy as her disciple..."

"After all, looking at the entire Yuanfeng Realm, and even most of the Eastern Xuan Region, those who can awaken twin spirit souls are extremely rare...!"

...

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Lingtai Peak martial arts arena remained intense.

"Lu Feng!"

"Brother Lu...!"

As soon as Lu Feng stepped off the stage, before he could even use his internal energy to heal his injuries, Leng Ying and Xia Zhenhu arrived and stopped him at the same time.

"Miss Leng, Brother Xia?"

Upon seeing that the newcomers were Leng Ying and Xia Zhenhu, Lu Feng was also taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands in greeting, "I am deeply grateful for your help earlier...!"

Although he and the other party were enemies in the past, things are different now. Leng Ying did save him just now, even at the cost of turning against his sworn brother Xu Tianlong.

As for Xia Zhenhu, he did not continue to act as an accomplice to the wicked, and Lu Feng also saw this.

"No need to be polite. I didn't want Brother Xu to make the same mistake again, which is why I chose to leave the Five Spirits Society. It's just a pity that I couldn't change Brother Xu's mind in the end...!"

Shaking his head and sighing, Leng Ying looked at Xia Zhenhu beside him again, his tone hesitant, "Second Brother, I'm sorry! It's all my fault for being impulsive and willful, and now I've dragged you into this. You could have continued to follow Brother Xu and firmly held the second-in-command position in the Five Spirits Society..."

"Fifth Sister, stop talking! Whatever choice you make in the end, your second brother will support you...!"

Raising his hand to interrupt Leng Ying, Xia Zhenhu remained resolute, clearly a sister-obsessed maniac who would unconditionally support his sister no matter what happened.

"By the way, have Miss Leng and Brother Xia ever heard of the Starfall Secret Realm?"

At this moment, Lu Feng spoke again, probing.

Just before Xu Tianlong left, he boasted that he would personally take his life when the Starfall Secret Realm reopened.

Lu Feng had not forgotten this life-or-death threat.

However, Lu Feng didn't know much about the origin of the Starfall Secret Realm, and for now he could only inquire about it from Leng Ying and others.
