In the early morning, the clouds churned in the sky.

Lu Ran and his companions, seeing off by He Yingcai, embarked on their journey to the Forbidden City.

He specifically contacted the Silent Night Blade and heard that He Qifeng had rushed back to Wuji Peak overnight, waiting to see the Peak Master, which made Lu Ran somewhat worried.

After all, they have to face Thunder Mountain!

Who knows if the Tufeng Master of Wuji Peak will allow it.

"Uh." Lu Ran held his forehead with some distress and instinctively rubbed his temples.

He hadn't rested well the night before.

Don't get the wrong idea, Lu Ran didn't do anything bad last night, he was just startled by a sudden noise before sleeping.

High in the sky, the gods and demons were fighting again.

The earth-shaking noise was irregular and sudden, lasting several hours, which truly tormented Lu Ran.

[Sect Leader!]

[Hmm?] Lu Ran frowned, [What's wrong, Evil Shadow?]

Yan Shuangzi: [Something's happening here, someone seems to be fighting, I'm at your left front!]

[Ah?] Lu Ran immediately turned his head to look, but the lush forest obscured everything, and he couldn't hear anything when he listened intently.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruyi's concerned voice came from beside him.

"Evil Shadow said someone is fighting over there." Lu Ran said as he activated the Pupil of the Dead World.

His pupils then slightly shrank.

Lu Ran didn't hold much hope, but he saw a dead soul slowly ascending in the distant sky.

This woman was already in a phantom soul state, but she still maintained her habits from life, covering her eyes with her hands as if she were weeping.

"Everyone, there is a battle to the south." Lu Ran immediately spoke, indicating to everyone to change their direction.

Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly.

Since departing, Lu Ran hadn't yet activated the Evil Technique·Mirror Flower Moon, and they were no more than twenty kilometers away from Mist Rain Lake.

Nearby the headquarters of the Thousand Boat Alliance, there shouldn't be any Evil Demons lurking.

If there is indeed a battle...

Is it a conflict among the Human Clan?

Jiang Ruyi's heart tightened, could it be the Thunder Mountain army pressing forward?

[There are sounds of electricity and battle roars... uh.] Yan Shuangzi's transmission paused momentarily, then quickly continued, [Sect Leader, there are East Thunder believers here.]

[Protect yourself, stay away from the combat zone!] Lu Ran's face was grim as he quickly led the group forward.

Yan Shuangzi was different from Lu Ran, she only had the Evil Dog Evil Skill.

While the Divine Technique·Thunderclap of the Dongting Sect is practically a natural nemesis to the Evil Dog Clan!

A powerful Evil Dog, even upon hearing the sound of natural thunder, could easily freeze on the spot.

The Thunderclap of the East Thunder believers, however, carries a stunning effect!

Yan Shuangzi wisely obeyed the order, no longer attempting to approach the combat zone, while the sounds of crying and the swooshing of weapons cutting through the air reached her ears.

"Thunder Mountain!!"

An over fifty-year-old man in a red robe, eyes slightly red, cradled a woman whose chest had been pierced.

She died with her eyes open, staring wide in emptiness, with a look of terror on her face.

"All of you kneel down and surrender!" A woman holding a Sky-piercing Halberd, her phoenix eyes glaring, pointed the halberd at the gathered Sword Lotus believers, "I will spare your lives!"

Eighteen Sword Lotus disciples formed a circle, holding shields shaped like lotus petals.

Lotus flowers, centering on the group, stretched and bloomed in all directions.

Sword Lotus Divine Skill·Lotus Bone Bud!

If anyone stepped on the lotus flowers, they'd be instantly trapped by the closing petals.

The Sword Lotus disciples tried to alter the battlefield environment and restrict the enemy's movements.

Yet they encountered the Dongting Sect!

The speed of these believers was just too fast, it was really hard for the Lotus Bone Bud to catch Dongting disciples.

However, though the effect was meager, it's all the Sword Lotus believers could do...

At this time, at the center of the circle formed by the eighteen Sword Lotus believers, was the kneeling red-robed man clutching a corpse.

"Ah!!"

His eyes turned blood-red as he roared with grief and anger.

Waves of terrifying pressure unique to Sea Realm powerhouses shook the surrounding Sword Lotus disciples so they trembled with fear.

"Island Master Pei, I'll say it again!" the woman wielding the halberd spoke with phoenix eyes like knives, "Kneel down and surrender, and I'll spare your life."

Accompanying the woman's voice, full of authority, waves of pressure surged forward like ocean waves.

The Sword Lotus disciples, already nervous, were really tempted to give up resistance.

Battles between Sea Realm Great Powers weren't something these River Realm folks could participate in.

Not to mention a Sea Realm Great Power, even against those ten River Realm·East Thunder believers, the Sword Lotus disciples stood little chance.

Even with Sword Lotus having more people!

The Dongting Sect,

Was so strong it made the Sword Lotus disciples despair.

"Fang Lingfeng!" Island Master Pei stared at the woman, "Are you declaring war on our Thousand Boat Alliance?!"

"Whom is Island Master Pei trying to scare?" Fang Lingfeng snorted, "Or has Island Master Pei grown old and confused, forgotten we've long since been at war?

When you slaughtered our Elder Liu earlier, weren't you the first to strike?"

The more she spoke, the more imposing Fang Lingfeng became.

"You! Shameless!! It was you who first..." Island Master Pei gritted his teeth.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted.

"Indeed." Fang Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, phoenix eyes filled with mockery, "If Island Master Pei weren't so senile, you wouldn't dare come out to collect Holy Spirit Energy.

We've been waiting for you here, yet you dared to lead people out; your loyalty to Lord Sword Lotus is truly commendable?"

Island Master Pei: "Fang Lingfeng..."

Fang Lingfeng said coldly: "Old fool, trying to stall for time? I'll count to three!

If you don't surrender, I'll send you to meet your Lord Sword Lotus!"

"One!" Fang Lingfeng didn't give him a chance to speak further.

As she counted, she held the gleaming cold Sky-piercing Halberd and strode forward.

With each step, the killing intent in her eyes grew stronger, energy surging violently, blowing her long shoulder-length hair away.

Like a god of slaughter!

Ten Dongting disciples surrounded the battle group, standing relatively far.

Only Fang Lingfeng walked alone toward the Sword Lotus disciples!

And this one person caused the eighteen Sword Lotus disciples to tremble, nearly losing the courage to resist.

"Two!" Fang Lingfeng shouted fiercely, currents of electricity swirling and crackling beneath her feet.

Such is the arrogance of the Dongting Sect!

"Gulp."

"Uh." The sounds of swallowing and fearful groans echoed consecutively.

The faces of the Sword Lotus believers turned pale, and their legs grew weaker.

Sometimes, death isn't the most terrifying thing.

The fear, powerlessness, and despair in the face of death are far more unraveling.

"Thump!"

A Sword Lotus disciple knelt, eyes wide staring at the ground, cold sweat streaming down her face.

"Stand up!" Island Master Pei snapped back to reality, cursing angrily, "Get the hell up!!"

Thump!

Island Master Pei's angry shout didn't improve the situation; another female Sword Lotus disciple knelt, bowing her head.

Her face was pale, eyes full of fear as she mumbled:

"No chance... we'll die, really die..."

People think of the Sword Lotus Sect and usually describe it as gentle on the outside, hard on the inside.

However, under absolute martial intimidation, the Sword Lotus disciples' hard hearts were crushed by Fang Lingfeng's advancing steps.

"Heh." Fang Lingfeng suddenly sneered, looking at the despicable ants mockingly.

She didn't count to "three".

This sneer made several Sword Lotus disciples completely give up resistance, trembling as they knelt.

"You..." Island Master Pei couldn't finish, his heart quivering heavily.

He hastily turned northward, a boundless hope rising in his heart.

Because a female voice was calling from afar, "Hey!"

"Who?" Fang Lingfeng, in the throes of delight at toying with and humiliating her enemies, was suddenly interrupted, her face darkening.

This place wasn't far from the Thousand Boat Alliance.

Perhaps another squad had set out, also looking for Holy Spirit Energy?

Well... that doesn't matter!

Be it Bi He, Chenghua, Sword Lotus, or Heavenly Simurgh believers, even if their numbers were several times that of hers, so what?

Our Dongting Sect can take on three with one, so what?

"Who are you?"

"Stop right there!" From the north side of the battle group, two Dongting disciples shouted.

"Shut up." The female voice came again, laden with endless pressure.

"Ah?"

"Uh..." This time, it was the turn of the two Dongting disciples to be filled with fear.

A woman, wearing a bamboo hat and a large raincoat, walked step by step carrying a Mountain Opening Axe.

In a trance, the Dongting disciples seemed to see their Hall Master·Fang Lingfeng.

This raincoat-wearing woman also had a pair of phoenix eyes.

The pair of slightly squinting phoenix eyes swept past the two small fries, locking onto Fang Lingfeng's eyes.

Fang Lingfeng's eyes narrowed!

Divine·Dongting and Divine·West Desolation are both second-class gods and belonged to the "Four Military Heroes" series.

The disciples of the Dongting Sect are mostly proud and arrogant.

Disciples of the West Desolation Sect are mostly tyrannical and domineering.

One inclined to arrogance, the other to ruthlessness, but undoubtedly, both are of the high-handed type!

Today, the disciples of the two military heroes were confronting each other.

"Thunder Mountain acts, unrelated people leave quickly!" Fang Lingfeng said deeply.

It must be said, the Sea Realm·Dongting disciples are truly cocky!

Even when facing such strong figures, Fang Lingfeng's words of dismissal carried a haughty order.

Gao Yunyan's feet kicked up the yellow sand, looking at the man in the bright red robe: "Who are you people?"

Island Master Pei hastily said: "Thousand Boat Alliance! Our Thousand Boat Alliance is nearby, begging the Daoist to save us..."

Fang Lingfeng interrupted fiercely: "Unrelated people, leave quickly! Or don't blame Thunder Mountain for being un..."

"Ah!!"

A sudden scream startled Fang Lingfeng.

She quickly turned her head to look.

In the southern forest, another tall figure wearing a green raincoat and bamboo hat, emerged from behind a large tree.

She held a broken blade, piercing through the chest of a Dongting believer, with uneven blood drops still falling from the tip of the blade.

Everyone: !!!

This person... when did they get here?

How did they appear from behind the tree?

"Thunk!"

The corpse was tossed off the broken blade onto the ground.

The woman pinched the brim of her bamboo hat with her slender fingers, slightly lifting it to reveal a sharp pair of eyes.

This woman's gaze was not on par with Fang Lingfeng's.

But more penetrating!

Deng Yuxiang's lips curled slightly, looking at the shocked and furious Fang Lingfeng: "Now, are we related?"
