At this moment, Qian Renxue, standing behind Ning Fengzhi, felt far more complicated and shocked than the other two.

She stared intently at Nan Feng, who had landed on the deck, her palms sweating profusely.

Bibi Dong sent people to intercept and kill the Heaven Dou delegation. How could Nan Feng not know beforehand? Impossible!

But since he knew everything, why didn't he stop them beforehand? Instead, he waited until the Demon Bear and the Ghost Leopard made their move before reappearing and killing them all!

What is this?!

Recalling what Nan Feng had said to her on Purple Pearl Island, Qian Renxue's heart clenched.

He's taking advantage of the situation, openly using this pretext of "ambush" to purge dissidents from within the Spirit Hall for Bibi Dong!

"clatter."

With a soft thud, Nan Feng slowly landed on the blood-stained deck.

He glanced down at the two heads at his feet, his double pupils showing no emotion, and spoke in a flat tone:

"I was just feeling restless and wanted to take a walk along the coast of the mainland to relax. I never expected to encounter such a lively scene as soon as I landed."

Nan Feng raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the stiff-faced Ning Fengzhi and the others. He raised an eyebrow knowingly, asking, "Who are these two...? Judging from their soul power fluctuations, they seem quite strong. Do any of you recognize them?"

Ning Fengzhi suppressed the turmoil in his heart and tried his best to maintain the demeanor of a sect leader.

He bowed slightly and replied stiffly, "Your Majesty, these two... should be Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo from the Spirit Hall Elders' Hall."

"Oh? Someone from the Spirit Hall?"

Nan Feng seemed relieved, and a relaxed smile even appeared between his brows: "That's good. I was worried that my casual strike just now might have been too heavy and accidentally hurt some innocent passersby."

"Since they're scum from the Spirit Hall..."

"Then killing them is fine. Consider them unlucky."

"..."

Hearing these extremely arrogant words, Ning Fengzhi's lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

After all, Seagod Island and the Spirit Hall have an irreconcilable blood feud due to the invasion incident years ago.

Now, this Demon God Douluo from Seagod Island, while protecting his allies, casually killed two Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall. Logically and morally, this is indeed "justified."

However, while you may have enjoyed killing people, the trouble that follows killing the Spirit Hall elder will surely fall squarely on the heads of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

To be honest, just a moment before Nan Feng appeared, Ning Fengzhi had already been rapidly planning the aftermath of the Second Prince and the Third Prince's "unfortunate deaths"!

After all, the Royal Guards on the shore had been almost entirely wiped out by this time.

Afterwards, when he returned to Tiandou City, he could have explained to the old emperor with great remorse that it was because the two princes had been eager to have fun and rushed off the ship as soon as they reached the shore that they unfortunately fell victim to the villains.

The eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, was steady by nature and chose to stay on the ship with him, which is how he managed to escape the disaster and survive.

There's no way the dead can testify!

Faced with such a horrific and sudden tragedy, no matter how much doubt the old emperor might have, he could only grit his teeth and make a final judgment in the face of these irrefutable facts.

But now... isn't Nan Feng acting way too fast?!

If he could have delayed even a fraction of a second, waited until the assassins' blades had completely fallen, and until the two princes were truly dead, before unleashing his full power...

How wonderful that would be!

"Wait... something's not right!"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes suddenly flickered violently.

Just now, Gu Rong secretly reported the situation on the shore to him through her soul power:

The Second Prince Xue Luochuan had jumped into the sea to hide when he saw that things were not going well. Although he was so frightened that he was out of his mind, he was still alive.

However, the Third Prince Xue Haicang, who was originally hiding under a pile of corpses and should have also escaped the calamity...

However, just as Nan Feng unleashed his bizarre light blade that swept across the entire area, it was directly chopped into countless pieces of minced meat by a single light blade!

Dead beyond dead!

Ning Fengzhi was shocked and glanced at the nonchalant Nan Feng with horror.

The second prince was clearly closer to the assassin and was almost beheaded, but he survived unharmed under Nan Feng's blade.

The Third Prince had hidden himself extremely well, yet he was chopped to pieces on the spot!

This is absolutely no mistake or coincidence!

This Demon God Douluo... did it on purpose!

His goal was to kill the Spirit Hall members to establish his authority, while also conveniently "wiping out" the Third Prince who had offended Seagod Island on the island!

Once Ning Fengzhi understood this, his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

But his face, as deep as a still pool, quickly regained its composure, and a hint of relief even arose in his heart.

He was completely unconcerned about Nan Feng's ruthless methods of taking advantage of the situation to kill.

On the contrary, it's good that he died!

The death of a prince who was usually favored and had the support of his maternal clan perfectly demonstrated to the old emperor and the whole world the horror and brutality of this ambush!

If the enemy had deployed two Title Douluos and a dozen elite troops, the Imperial Guards would have been wiped out, but miraculously, all three princes returned unharmed...

In the eyes of the suspicious old emperor, it would seem like a clumsy act!

Now that one person is dead, one is injured, and one is terrified, this so-called "ambush massacre" is truly flawless and leaves no one to testify!

Chapter 258 Nan Feng: I'm going to Martial Soul City to turn myself in. Ning Fengzhi: Please don't go! I'm begging you!

……

"Now that the troubles on the Heavenly Dou Empire's side have been resolved, what about the situation of our own people?"

Nan Feng ignored Ning Fengzhi's complicated thoughts. He turned his head and looked over the deck of the main ship at another cargo ship, the Purple Pearl Island's exclusive cargo ship, which was responsible for escorting the ship.

"Was there any loss?" Nan Feng asked casually.

Upon hearing the Demon God Douluo's personal inquiry, the Soul Emperor-level pirate squad leader on the ship, filled with trepidation, hurriedly answered loudly:

"Your Majesty, there are no casualties among our brothers!"

“We sea spirit masters are used to life at sea. We are more relaxed on the ship than on land. So when the ship docked, the brothers did not rush off the ship like those landlubbers from the Heaven Dou Empire.”

The squad leader glanced at the hellish scene on the shore, his voice filled with deep awe and fanaticism.

"Those grey-robed men who came to ambush us had only just begun slaughtering the Imperial Guards on the shore, and before they could even get on our ship, they were all chopped to pieces by Your Majesty's divine punishment!"

"Well, it's good that there were no casualties."

Nan Feng nodded slightly, then slowly turned his head and glanced one last time at the dock, which was completely stained red with blood and bits of flesh.

His gaze returned to Ning Fengzhi. "Since you're all still here, quickly send someone to clean up this mess. As for the aftermath of today's ambush..."

Nan Feng pointed to the two severed heads at his feet. "Do I need to handle this personally, or... Sect Leader Ning, should your Heavenly Dou Empire handle it yourselves?"

Ning Fengzhi's heart skipped a beat. He quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty has displayed great power and saved the mission from destruction. We are already extremely grateful. How could we dare to trouble Your Majesty any further? This matter occurred on the sea border of my Heavenly Dou Empire. Naturally, we will handle the follow-up matters ourselves."

"Oh? You'll handle it yourselves?"

Nan Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile, "Sect Leader Ning, have you thought it through? You don't need me to carry the heads of these two old guys to Wuhun City, so that Wuhun Hall won't be unable to swallow this anger and unleash all its thunderous retaliation on your Heaven Dou Empire?"

"No! There's absolutely no need for that!!"

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically in an instant, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly waved his hand in refusal.

Are you kidding me?!

Now, apart from the sea spirit masters from Purple Pearl Island, only a few key figures remain among those in the know.

All the Imperial Guards and assassins from the Spirit Hall on the shore are dead. As long as they keep their mouths shut and keep quiet, and later claim that it was a brutal robbery and killing by unidentified individuals, no one will be able to find any clear evidence against them!

Even if the Spirit Hall knew they were responsible, without evidence, everyone could still maintain a superficial "balance of the situation".

But what if this Demon God Douluo really did carry the heads of the Demon Bear and the Ghost Leopard and swagger into Spirit City to demand justice...?

That would truly be tearing away the last veil of pretense!

At that point, the Spirit Hall will be in a difficult position and will have no choice but to act!

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's terrified expression as if he wanted to avoid her, Nan Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and he didn't ask any more questions.

"Since Sect Leader Ning insists on handling this himself, I'm happy to have some peace and quiet. I won't get involved in this matter anymore."

This is exactly the result Nan Feng wanted.

It is necessary to use this ambush to eliminate dissidents within the Spirit Hall for Bibi Dong; it is also necessary to demonstrate the overwhelming and terrifying strength of Seagod Island in front of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, the extreme consequences that might arise from disrupting the existing balance of power on the continent and triggering an premature all-out war are what he is now trying his best to avoid.

Now that everyone is dead, there's no way to verify anything.

As long as no one spreads rumors, everyone knows the truth in their hearts, and they all tacitly agree to keep quiet about it.

He has perfectly achieved all his strategic objectives.

Then, Nan Feng slightly raised his right hand and gently hooked his index finger in the air.

"Splash!"

With a splash, the Second Prince Xue Luochuan, who was shivering in the cold seawater, was grabbed by the collar as if by an invisible giant hand and violently pulled out of the sea by a powerful soul force, and slammed heavily onto the bloody shore!

"Ahhh! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Soaked to the bone, the second prince was terrified. He couldn't tell which way was which and broke down in tears.

When he saw Nan Feng in mid-air, he ignored the pieces of flesh on the ground, scrambled to his knees, and frantically kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life! Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"

Nan Feng coldly watched the weeping, useless prince, shook his head, and said nothing.

"Om-"

The silver-gray spatial light flickered again, and Nan Feng's figure vanished from the spot as he had arrived.

Only after confirming that the scourge had truly left did the suffocating, terrifying pressure that had enveloped the port of Hanhai City finally dissipate somewhat.

Everyone exhaled a long breath in unison.

However, Ning Fengzhi, who had survived the ordeal, now had an increasingly complicated and solemn expression.
