Zuo Mengzhi said, "Ling Zhenfei, you're being a bit too arrogant. Why don't I believe that you can kill us all."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "If that's the case, let me show you what I'm capable of."

At this moment Ling Zhenfei's gaze fell on Xiao Zhan.

Right now, Xiao Zhan is the most powerful here, especially since Xiao Zhan has already been injured, making him no match for Ling Zhenfei.

Xiao Zhan, supported by others, stood up and was extremely shocked to see Ling Zhenfei's gaze.

Looking at Ling Zhenfei, he said, "Don't make a move, I surrender. If you want to leave with your people, go ahead, it has nothing to do with me."

Hearing Xiao Zhan say this, everyone was enormously shocked. Perhaps others didn't know, but they knew Xiao Zhan's prowess. Now that Xiao Zhan had conceded, it meant the others were even less of a match.

Ling Zhenfei chuckled and said, "You wanted me here, and I'm here. Now you want me to leave, and you expect me to go just like that? Wouldn't that be a bit humiliating for me?

Moreover, you captured my friends to threaten me. Don't you know you've already violated the agreement between cultivators, that blessings or misfortunes should not involve family?

But now you've violated this principle. Do you think this matter will end so simply?"

Xiao Zhan said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "You used my friends to threaten me. If I let this go easily, in the future, wouldn't anyone be free to use my friends against me?"

Xiao Zhan said, "No, I promise you it won't happen again. No one will trouble your friends or family in the future."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Calamities shouldn't touch family. This principle has existed for so many years. Wrong is wrong, someone has to face the consequences."

Ling Zhenfei was ready and said to Zuo Mengzhi, "I despise you and your Guimou Sect. You're full of deceit and don't follow any principles. Today, I'll execute justice on behalf of heaven."

After finishing, Ling Zhenfei lunged at Zuo Mengzhi. Perhaps Zuo Mengzhi's strategy was good, but he was greatly lacking in Spiritual Energy.

Zuo Mengzhi's skills were very weak, yet seeing Ling Zhenfei rush over, he suddenly drew a pistol from his hidden hand and fired several shots at Ling Zhenfei.

But Ling Zhenfei was already prepared, and bullets posed no threat to someone of Ling Zhenfei's realm.

Probably shooting at Ling Zhenfei was just Zuo Mengzhi's reflex action.

Yet, in mid-air, Ling Zhenfei began to dodge, making those shots entirely miss Ling Zhenfei.

After dodging the bullets, Ling Zhenfei was right in front of Zuo Mengzhi, directly subduing him.

Ling Zhenfei did not grant Zuo Mengzhi any mercy and immediately applied Spiritual Energy Deprivation.

The scant Spiritual Energy in Zuo Mengzhi rushed madly into Ling Zhenfei's body.

Though those around them knew what was happening now, they were reminded of the previous lesson when Zuo Mengzhi found out that meant something dire, yet no one dared to step forward to help.

In fact, some began to flee, clearly intending to escape.

But Ling Zhenfei certainly wouldn't give them the chance, as his Soul Passage had long since encompassed these people.

Thus, those seeking to flee found it not so simple.

Ling Zhenfei immediately cast Soul Passage towards them.

Instantly, those trying to escape were stunned, as if struck heavily, all of them frozen.

Some, lacking Spiritual Energy, directly turned into idiots under Ling Zhenfei's Spiritual Energy Deprivation attack.

Ling Zhenfei tossed the subdued Zuo Mengzhi to the ground; now Zuo Mengzhi was nothing but a waste.

Ling Zhenfei certainly had no intention of sparing them, continuing to charge straight at Xiao Zhan.

At this point, Xiao Zhan, supported by two others, was trying to walk far away but owing to his injuries couldn't go far.

Ling Zhenfei caught up to them directly, knocked down the two supporting him, and subdued Xiao Zhan. Ling Zhenfei then kept Xiao Zhan restrained.

He immediately applied Spiritual Energy Deprivation to Xiao Zhan.

"Mr. Ling, spare my life, listen to me. Can we discuss this properly?"

Ling Zhenfei chuckled and said, "Sorry, it's already a bit too late. You've angered me."

Xiao Zhan said, "Mr. Ling, can we talk this over properly? If you spare me, I can certainly tell you something useful."

Ling Zhenfei stopped the Spiritual Energy Deprivation and said, "Then speak, tell me something useful."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I know that this time Zuo Mengzhi captured your friends to exchange them for the Peach Blossom Secret, which was our mistake.

I know they were wrong, and we won't do it again in the future, also I can discuss some matters concerning the Peach Blossom Secret with you."

Ling Zhenfei hesitated and said, "Then speak, if what you say is useful to me, I might consider sparing you."

Xiao Zhan said, "Actually many of these are sect secrets, but I believe sharing them with you won't be harmful."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Cut the crap, get to the point."

Xiao Zhan said, "Perhaps you're unaware of the secret within the Peach Blossom Secret, but I can tell you."

Ling Zhenfei felt some hesitation; was there really a secret in the Peach Blossom Secret that he didn't know of?

"What secrets lie within the Peach Blossom Secret?"

Xiao Zhan said, "The Peach Blossom Secret Map was created by the Heaven-devouring Star Lord several thousand years ago, a place gathering Northern Spiritual Energy. During its creation, he hid many of his secrets within the realm.

The mountains, rivers, seas, forests, and flowers within correspond to the Star Lord's treasures. Attaining just one would be enough to dominate the world."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked upon hearing this, having visited the Peach Blossom Secret for so long, thinking it merely a wondrous realm, never knowing so many secrets lay within.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Your Guimou Sect has managed the Peach Blossom Secret for so long, if there were such mystical treasures inside, I'm sure you've already taken them."

Xiao Zhan said, "Though many believe that, the map was made by the Heaven-devouring Star Lord. Entering the realm and unraveling its mysteries is itself very difficult.

Over these millennia, countless sect members entered the secret, but few returned, with mishaps leading to the loss of the return Dharma Gate.

Thus over thousands of years, although knowing how to enter, the way out remains unknown.

Eventually, the Peach Blossom Secret became a symbol of the sect, no longer a treasure trove, even becoming the Sect Leader's means of survival in modern times.
