Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"The four protectors of the Wusheng Sect have actually all mobilized?"

Lu Feng also struggled to his feet, then looked up at Dai Qisi and the others in the sky, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. "These demonic cultists have indeed been plotting for a long time to seize Earth Tiger Star...!"

"Tch! No wonder that bastard Zhang Dabiao, who's just a mere branch leader, possesses treasures like the 'Beast Taming Golden Bell' and the 'Jade Wall of No Life,' which are unattainable for ordinary people..."

Thinking about this, Lu Feng immediately understood the whole story.

Clearly, from the beginning, Zhang Dabiao and his group were merely pawns, not the main fighting force of the Wusheng Sect. Dai Qisi and her group were the real masterminds behind the scenes, and the powerful treasures in their hands also came from Dai Qisi and her group.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Just as Lu Feng was thinking about how to escape, the void rifts in the sky gradually stabilized, and then a large number of figures leaped out from them, as if they were entering the sea one after another, instantly covering most of the sky, and a murderous aura filled the air!

One person, ten people, a hundred people, thousands of people...!

Looking around, one could see that the sky above was filled with Wusheng Sect members, numbering at least a thousand, resembling a menacing Wusheng Sect army, which completely surrounded the Falling Star Valley.

Moreover, these members of the Wusheng Sect are all quite powerful, with most of them at or above the Qi Opening Realm. Some of them are no weaker than Zhang Dabiao and the others from before. Not only do they all have red fire lotuses engraved on their right chests, but they also wear black iron silver tokens at their waists, suggesting that they are leaders of various branches of the Wusheng Sect's "Sun, Moon and Stars" faction.

"Young Master Lu, something seems off..."

"Although these few demonic cult members are far less than a tenth of my former peak strength, they are more than enough to deal with you Spirit Soul Realm brats. You're in for a rough time today..."

Faced with the fierce attack of Dai Qisi and her group, as well as the army of the Wusheng Sect with thousands of soldiers behind them, Gu Canyang, who was originally hiding inside the treasure basin, also sent out a reminder, his tone full of worry.

After all, Dai Qisi and the others are not only known as the Four Protectors of the Wusheng Sect, but they are all experts in the Yuanhai Realm. At present, they have thousands of Wusheng Sect members following them. Not to mention that Lu Feng is weak and alone, even if there were ten more Lu Fengs, he would not be able to defeat them!

"Old man, anyone who's not blind can see something's wrong right now..."

Upon hearing Gu Canyang's reminder, Lu Feng only gave a helpless and bitter smile. Then he raised his hand to his right shoulder, gritted his teeth, and pulled out the icy blue light that had pierced his body.

"Sizzle! Uh...!"

As the icy blue light burst forth from his body, Lu Feng's face paled slightly, and he couldn't help but let out a painful groan. At the same time, blood instantly spilled onto the ground beneath him, with shreds of flesh faintly visible among the bloody mess!

As for the true form of the Ice Blue Profound Light, it was a wooden short sword about eight inches long, with a blue body. However, this sword was carved with many strange patterns, and although it was made of wood, it was still extremely sharp. It could not even withstand Lu Feng's Tenfold Gara Nirvana Sutra!

"What a powerful weapon! And in terms of power alone, this sword is probably no weaker than any low-grade Xuan-level magic weapon..."

"Tch! Xu Yiping, the Old Monster of a Hundred Weapons, truly lives up to his reputation...!"

Glancing at the bloodstains on the ground and the wooden short sword, Lu Feng circulated his dantian energy to stop the bleeding from the wound on his right shoulder, his brows furrowing slightly, his expression grave.

Although he had never actually fought Xu Yiping at the Shen family ancestral mausoleum, the fact that the latter had just casually tossed out a wooden short sword and managed to severely injure Lu Feng was enough to show that he was quite powerful!

"Junior Brother Lu Feng!"

"Uncle! Are you alright?!"

Just as Lu Feng was drawing his sword to heal his wounds, Cao Keying, Duan Lang, and the others rushed over, their faces filled with worry and unease.

After all, Lu Feng was the strongest among everyone present, and if even Lu Feng fell now, none of them would survive!

"Fellow Daoist Duan, I'm fine, it's just that..."

Faced with Duan Lang's concern, Lu Feng merely raised his eyelids slightly, then said somewhat helplessly, "Senior Sister Cao and I are just ordinary fellow disciples. Please be mindful of how you address her in the future to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings..."

Although he doesn't care much about his reputation, Cao Keying is, after all, a young girl, and Lu Feng and she haven't had any real relationship, so it's really too early for Duan Lang to call him "Uncle-in-law"!

"Oh, this...!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Lang scratched his head, momentarily speechless.

"Duan Lang! What nonsense are you spouting now, you brat! What 'uncle'?! You want a beating, don't you?!"

Seeing Duan Lang suddenly trying to play matchmaker, Cao Keying's face also flushed slightly. She immediately raised her hand and gave him a good slap. "If I ever hear you talking nonsense again, don't blame me for not showing any mercy!"

Cao Keying's tone remained cold, but a hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes, clearly indicating that she was not entirely sincere.

...

Above the Star Sealing Platform, the atmosphere grew increasingly somber.

"One, two, three... Including that brat surnamed Lu, there are five ants left. Who wants to make a move?"

Xu Yiping glanced coldly at Lu Feng and the others on the ground below, then tapped his mechanical wheelchair lightly as he spoke slowly, seemingly disdainful of taking action himself.

After all, he was a military protector under the Wusheng Sect, ranking second among the four protectors, with strength and cultivation only second to Dai Qisi. Lu Feng and the others in front of him were just a group of juniors in the Spirit Soul Realm, not worthy of his personal intervention at all!

"Hehe, Brother Xu, I share the same opinion about the others as you do, but this brat surnamed Lu is far more complex than you think..."

Faced with Xu Yiping's suggestion, Dai Qisi remained silent, while Liao Fusheng grinned and said in a meaningful tone, "Brother Xu, you probably don't know, but I, Liao, had a brief encounter with this young man back in Dongyun Kingdom. He is no ordinary person..."

"Hmph! You surnamed Liao, you're spouting a bunch of nonsense now, are you scared?"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Manlong coldly snorted, took a step forward, and said with a murderous aura, "If you're scared, then get out of here! I've wanted to twist this brat surnamed Lu's head off with my own hands for a long time!"

"Tch, ignorant brute...!"

Faced with the provocation of the barbarian dragon, Liao Fusheng's eyes turned slightly cold, but he did not retaliate on the spot. He simply stepped aside with a cold face, seemingly out of consideration for Dai Qisi and for the importance of seizing the Earth Tiger Star, and did not want to fight with the former.

"In that case, you're in charge of dealing with these brats from Falling Star Academy."

Seeing that Manlong volunteered, while Dai Qisi and Liao Fusheng had no intention of taking action, Xu Yiping stroked his long beard and said in a low voice, "As for the task of breaking the seal of Penglai Star-Sealing Array and seizing Earth Tiger Star, I, Liao Fusheng and Lady Dai will take care of it."

"Brother Xu, you're too kind. We are all protectors of the Wusheng Sect, and there is no distinction between us. You can just call me Qisi from now on."

Seeing Xu Yiping address her as "Master," Dai Qisi shook her head slightly, her tone remaining calm and composed, showing no airs of being the head of the Four Protectors, as if she didn't care about such empty titles.

"Damn it! Looks like this battle is unavoidable after all...!"

Below, Lu Feng saw the savage dragon staring at him with murderous intent. He was equally alarmed and immediately leaped into the sky, seemingly intending to stop the dragon single-handedly.

"Junior Lu Feng?"

"Brother Lu!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what are you doing...!"

Seeing Lu Feng suddenly rush forward alone, Cao Keying, Ren Lingyun, Duan Lang and the others all changed their expressions slightly. They seemed to never have expected that the other party would be so bold as to dare to fight against Manlong, one of the four protectors of the Wusheng Sect.

"Boy, are you not afraid of death?"

Seeing this, Manlong was also stunned for a moment, then crossed his arms and looked at Lu Feng with a hint of contempt.

After all, he was a master of the third level of the Yuanhai Realm, while Lu Feng was only at the eighth level of the Lingpo Realm. In Manlong's eyes, the other party's move was almost tantamount to suicide!
