Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"What's going on!"

"This kid can actually absorb corpses and become stronger?!"

As Lu Feng successfully broke through to the fourth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, Yun Wu Hui, who was not far away, also cast a shocked gaze.

After all, this was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre method of becoming stronger by absorbing corpses!

In addition, the other party, like Xu Liancheng, was not affected by the Bone-Melting Powder, and his strength was still at its peak!

"Just who is this kid...!"

Thinking of this, Yun Wu Hui felt even more alarmed and suspicious, his brows furrowing.

With his original strength and cultivation level, it would have been difficult for him to deal with Xu Liancheng, who was at the first level of the Yuanhai Realm, and his chances of winning were less than 30%!

Now, with Lu Feng, whose origins are unknown and who is even immune to the Bone-Melting Powder, Yun Wu Hui's chances of winning have become even lower!

"Heh, this kid is indeed extraordinary..."

Xu Liancheng glanced at Lu Feng, whose aura had surged, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

From the very beginning, he noticed that the other party was not only exceptionally perceptive, but also extraordinary!

After all, none of the high-ranking officials, aristocratic scions, or even Emperor Ren Tianxing of Dongyun Kingdom present noticed the pervasive "Dissolving Power and Bone-Melting Powder" in the air.

Lu Feng not only had this knowledge in advance, but he was also immune to the toxicity of the Huagong Ronggu San, just like Xu Liancheng!

It is evident that the secrets and opportunities Lu Feng possesses are far beyond those of ordinary martial artists!

"His Majesty!"

After fighting his way out of the encirclement, Lu Feng did not immediately go to Xu Liancheng's aid. Instead, he leaped down to Ren Tianxing, who was weak and exhausted.

"This humble subject is unworthy and has arrived late to save Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

Lu Feng knelt on one knee, then bowed with his hands clasped in greeting, his face full of sincerity.

There was nothing he could do; Ren Tianxing was his prospective father-in-law, and even without the emperor of Dongyun Kingdom, he couldn't just stand by and watch the other party live or die.

"No!"

Faced with Lu Feng's self-blame, Ren Tianxing, who was suffering from the poison, shook his head slightly, then a look of relief appeared on his pale face, "Lu Feng, I knew I hadn't misjudged you..."

"You have not only passed my test, but you have also rendered meritorious service in slaying the enemy. Even if Fei'er doesn't ask for it, I will still bestow upon you the title of... cough cough cough!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ren Tianxing's face turned ashen, and he began vomiting blood. At the same time, his aura weakened further, as if the poison in his body had intensified. He was now finding it extremely difficult to even speak!

"Young Master Lu, although I do not wish to interrupt your conversation with His Majesty, it would be best if we resolved the immediate trouble first..."

Seeing this, Xu Liancheng also turned his gaze over and said in a low voice.

After all, the crisis is not over yet. Besides Yun Wu Hui, the leader, there are also a group of Fengbo Tower assassins and Yun family warriors watching from all sides. It is not a good time to chat and reminisce.

"President Xu, did you perhaps already foresee that the Yun family would plot a rebellion?"

Lu Feng took out a Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill from his storage ring and gave it to Ren Tianxing. Then, he flashed again and landed next to Xu Liancheng, his face solemn.

"President Xu, please forgive my bluntness, but why didn't you stop the Yun family from the beginning, instead allowing them to poison His Majesty and all the court officials...?"

Although he initially misunderstood the other party, thinking that Xu Liancheng was the mastermind behind the poisoning, judging from the latter's appearance, it seemed that he already knew the inside story.

Therefore, Lu Feng was also very puzzled by Xu Liancheng's actions.

"I wonder if Brother Lu has ever heard of a famous saying?" Faced with Lu Feng's probing, Xu Liancheng simply shook his head slightly.

"What?"

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment.

"Cast a long line to catch a big fish."

With another smirk, Xu Liancheng said in a meaningful tone, "Although the Yun family had long harbored rebellious intentions, they ultimately did not completely break ties with the royal family of Dongyun Kingdom."

"Moreover, the Yun family, as the foremost clan in the Eastern Yun Kingdom, possesses not only a profound foundation but also deep-rooted power, which cannot be resolved overnight..."

"Even with His Majesty's power and methods, he initially only dared to use the 'Decree of Grace' as a pretext to gradually weaken the Yun family's strength..."

"Therefore, if I had intervened in this matter from the beginning, not only would I have failed to thoroughly settle accounts with the Yun family, but I might have even made things worse and ruined everything in the end."

Xu Liancheng withdrew the green bamboo from his hand and said slowly.

"To destroy someone, first make them mad?"

"This person has certainly devised a clever plan..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself.

It must be said that Xu Liancheng's approach was not wrong. If he had stopped the Yun family's assassination plan from the beginning, although he could have temporarily resolved the crisis, he would have missed the opportunity to eradicate the Yun family in one fell swoop.

"Heh, as the esteemed president of the Alchemist Guild and a powerful expert at the Yuanhai Realm, you're now attacking a mere junior at the tenth level of the Spirit Soul Realm. Isn't that a bit unscrupulous..."

At this moment, Yun Wu Hui, who had been silent for a long time, also gave a cold smile, his gaze towards Xu Liancheng still full of vigilance.

Although he himself was quite strong, having reached the tenth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, and had just defeated Chen Jinnan and Han Che, making him incredibly powerful and unstoppable, he was still somewhat outmatched by Xu Liancheng in front of him.

Moreover, Xu Liancheng has Lu Feng as his helper. Although Lu Feng is only at the fourth level of the Spirit Soul Realm on the surface, his true strength far surpasses that of ordinary martial artists of the same level!

"play hard?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. "I say, you little brat, your skin is way too thick!"

"Leaving aside your underhanded poisoning and dirty tricks, the fact that I was just ganged up on by a bunch of assassins from Fengbo Tower and Yun family warriors was all at your behest. And now you dare to talk about using any means necessary?"

"Young Master Lu, there's no need for further words with this man. Make your move!"

Seeing Lu Feng and Yun Wu Hui start arguing, Xu Liancheng, who was standing to the side, let out a light shout and slashed out with his cyan bamboo sword, clearly intending to finish the battle quickly.

"Protect the Cloud Helmsman!"

"Attack together!"

"Kill those two!"

Before Yun Wu Hui could even make a move, a group of assassins from Fengbo Tower and Yun family warriors rushed forward, using their physical bodies and Yuan energy as walls to try and stop him.

"Hurricane Blade Storm!"

Suddenly, the Hurricane Spirit Soul appeared in his palm. The next moment, Lu Feng swung his hand again and unleashed a terrifying storm of hurricane blades.

Click! Click! Click!

The hurricane-force storm swept across the entire area in an instant, as sharp as a blade cutting through bamboo and slicing through iron like mud. It immediately cut the oncoming assassins from Fengbo Tower and the Yun family warriors in two, causing rivers of blood and corpses to flow everywhere!

After all, the Hurricane Spirit Soul awakened within Lu Feng's body is a legendary level spirit soul, whose power is incomparable to ordinary five element spirit souls and rare spirit souls. No matter how many of these Fengbo Tower assassins and Yun family warriors there are, it's useless. They're just easy prey!

"This symbol means... the Wusheng Sect?"

Standing still, Lu Feng glanced out of the corner of his eye and was stunned when he saw a mutilated corpse on the ground next to him with a red scarf tied around its waist and a wooden sign hanging from it.

Wearing a red turban on his head and a wooden plaque around his waist are the marks of the lower-level Wusheng sect members. In addition, the group of Fengbolou assassins and Yun family warriors just now called Yun Wuhui "Helmsman".

It is clear that Yun Wu Hui in front of us is definitely related to the rumored Wu Sheng Demonic Sect, and their relationship is even very close!

"The Eternal Mother, born of fire, gives rise to a red lotus..."

At this moment, Xu Liancheng also noticed something amiss, and his brows furrowed slightly. "Yun Wuhui, I never expected you to collude with the Demonic Sect. This truly surprises me..."

"As the saying goes, 'To negotiate with a tiger for its skin is to invite endless trouble.' Isn't your Yun family afraid of playing with fire and getting burned?"

"Hmph, so what!"

"Our Lord's command is everything!"

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Yun Wu Hui gave a cold laugh, then suddenly took off his black robe, revealing the blood-red fire lotus on the right side of his chest, clearly no longer pretending.

"My little ones, come out, all of you!"

With a loud shout from Yun Wu Hui, the assassins from Fengbo Tower and the Yun family warriors all removed their robes and disguises, and once again surrounded Lu Feng and his group.

"I will obey the leader's command!"

These assassins from Fengbo Tower and the martial artists from the Yun family all wore red scarves around their waists and hung wooden plaques, clearly indicating that they had all submitted to the Wusheng Sect!

Not only that, a large number of Wusheng Sect members suddenly emerged from the square outside the Qianqing Hall, including some minor leaders of the Spirit Soul Realm. They seemed to be reinforcements from the Yun family, determined to kill everyone present!
