Meanwhile, Tang Fei's own back was struck by the supreme Taoist rhythm contained within the Tianpeng Ruler.

"Puh..."

Tang Fei's features twisted, his expression contorted with a grimace, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

A joke, a lethal strike from a Great Grandmaster is not something one can easily withstand.

The lion hunts the rabbit with all its might.

Especially since Zhong Daoling was determined to kill Xuanyuan Mingjing—how could he not give it his all?

The Taoist Divine Artifact, Tianpeng Ruler, paired with "Huangting Dao Song"...

Even Xuanyuan Mingjing at his peak could be struck down.

Tang Fei felt a sudden weight on his back and then lost consciousness.

Too painful.

A pain that was unbearable inside and out, from blood to flesh.

He felt his soul trembling continuously.

Tang Fei and Xuanyuan Mingjing's bodies rapidly descended into the mysterious depths of the East Sea.

Tang Fei, in order to protect Xuanyuan Mingjing, pushed him away while embracing him.

When Tang Fei spat blood, Xuanyuan Mingjing was not spared either.

His face and head were covered in blood.

"Tang Fei..."

Xuanyuan Mingjing, full of concern, shouted urgently.

"Master..."

Tang Fei tried to smile.

But the smile was worse than a cry.

As if he had been struck by lightning.

His body was numb, his mind was numb.

He couldn't remember anything, couldn't make any movement.

Including a simple smile.

Bang!

The two bodies fell heavily into the East Sea.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle...

Ripples spread circle after circle on the surface of the sea.

"Damn it!"

Zhong Daoling's killer move missed, and he began to feel anxious.

Right now, he couldn't think about Shen Boyu, he didn't pause for a moment, and once again wielded the Tianpeng Ruler, heading toward the Deep Sea.

At any cost, he had to eliminate Xuanyuan Mingjing.

Even though both were Great Grandmasters, Zhong Daoling was more wary of Xuanyuan Mingjing.

Perhaps because after numerous battles, he never managed to gain any advantage against him.

Instead, he felt that Shen Boyu could be bullied a little...

If he couldn't eliminate him now, his future days would be hard.

Boom rumble...

Countless strong lights flickered.

On Zhong Daoling's body appeared densely packed spots of light.

High above, Star Discs filled the sky, war machines roared.

Countless heat guns and blood-tracing missiles had locked onto him; any carelessness and these high-tech weapons would kill him.

He also saw Shen Wuxiang jumping out of the Star Cabin, riding the clouds, stepping on the wind, rushing towards here.

"Damn it!"

Zhong Daoling knew the cause was lost.

Having failed to kill Xuanyuan Mingjing earlier, he would now face the combined forces of Xuanyuan Mingjing and the Shen Family.

No guarantee of victory.

Cursing, he waved his hand and scattered a handful of runes.

A sea of golden light flickered, countless burn runes pouring in all directions.

Like the Sun shedding its golden rays.

When the talisman paper burned out and the golden light faded, not a trace of Zhong Daoling was seen.

Shen Wuxiang rushed to within a hundred meters of the sea and stopped.

Because Shen Boyu was now in his grasp.

Shen Wuxiang looked at the unconscious Shen Boyu, anxious inside, yet he maintained a calm exterior, asking in a deep voice, "Dean, what does this mean?"

"Zhong Daoling wanted to kill him... I saved him..."

Xuanyuan Mingjing replied solemnly.

No problem with that. If Xuanyuan Mingjing hadn't fished Shen Boyu out from the Deep Sea, he would have drowned.

When he and Tang Fei were knocked to the sea floor, he sensed the commotion on the water's surface.

Knowing the commotion here was stirring the Shen Family, who sent people to support Shen Boyu.

He coincidentally saw Shen Boyu, who had been knocked into the Deep Sea by Bai Yujing, and quickly took hold of him.

After all, this was a life-saving symbol.

"I'm asking... why are you here?" Shen Wuxiang spoke.

Behind him, there were countless martial arts masters.

There were three hundred Star Discs and three thousand war machines.

And twenty thousand Iron-blooded Warriors who followed him in battles south and north.

At this moment, he was full of confidence and ambition.

Except for Shen Boyu being in his hands, which caused concern.

"It's a long story." Xuanyuan Mingjing glanced at Shen Boyu, whom he was holding, and spoke: "Are you sure you want to know? I'm not in a hurry, but I'm afraid Brother Boyu might be pressed for time."

"..."

Killing intent filled Shen Wuxiang's eyes.

However, seeing Shen Boyu...

We better talk first.

He is a Great Grandmaster of the Shen Family, as important as the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle.

Shen Wuxiang's gaze fell on Shen Boyu's face, and he asked, "How is Boyu doing?"

"Doesn't look too well."

"What do I have to give up to get Boyu back?"

"I have a few young friends who need to travel far... Can I bother the Military Minister to accommodate them?" Xuanyuan Mingjing said.

"Young friends?" Shen Wuxiang's gaze landed on Tang Fei behind Xuanyuan Mingjing, and he said, "Is he Tang Fei?"

Tang Fei was still disguised, but Shen Wuxiang could already confirm that he was indeed Tang Fei...

Under the Star River, who else could make Xuanyuan Mingjing protect so passionately?

Thinking of this, he also thought of his grandson Shen Xinglan.

He was also Xuanyuan Mingjing's disciple... How was he inferior?

But, where is he?

Seeing Zhao Wuji arrive with Shen Xinglan's severely injured body to join their side, Shen Wuxiang finally felt relieved.

As long as Shen Xinglan is okay.

He had high hopes for Shen Xinglan.

Even if Shen Xinglan disappointed him time and again.

Shen Xinglan was about to be knocked unconscious earlier, fortunately Ba Dao Zhao Wuji caught him in time.

If he hadn't protected him with his Vigorous Body, Shen Xinglan might have been torn apart by the powerful energy of the three Grandmasters.

Even so, he was still dressed in rags, looking quite miserable.

Feeling his grandfather's gaze on him, Shen Xinglan met his eyes, only to quickly look away.

Very ashamed.

Once again feeling deeply his own incompetence.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Mingjing did not deny, saying, "He is Tang Fei."

At this point, denying his identity would be foolish; Tang Fei's identity was almost public knowledge.

Tang Fei stood behind Xuanyuan Mingjing, pale as a ghost.

He had been pulled up from the Deep Sea by Xuanyuan Mingjing, who had also channeled a thread of True Qi into him while saying, 'Hang in there.'

He tried his best to avoid Shen Wuxiang's gaze, but unfortunately, he was still too eye-catching.

"Heh..." Shen Wuxiang chuckled coldly, saying, "Stirring trouble, sowing discord, killing men of the Shen Family...

"I swore in front of Shen Family members, no matter who killed Shen Lewen or Shen Leyou, I must grind them to dust if caught."

"What does your oath have to do with me?" Xuanyuan Mingjing said lightly, "Exchanging one Tang Fei for a Great Grandmaster... Shen Family doesn't lose."

Xuanyuan Mingjing was also pretending.

Putting on an act like he had nothing to do with this.

He couldn't let Shen Wuxiang know about his injuries.

If he took the risk... he might really manage to catch him off guard.

As long as he didn't collapse, his status as Great Grandmaster could awe others.

Anyone wanting to act against a Great Grandmaster had to consider carefully.

To see if they could withstand a Grandmaster's counterattack.

I punch someone, and they're okay.

A Great Grandmaster punches you, and you're gone.

Upon hearing Xuanyuan Mingjing's conditions, Shen Wuxiang hesitated, not immediately agreeing.

If it were someone else, the Shen Family wouldn't lose.

But if that person was Tang Fei...

Shen Wuxiang had to ponder the pros and cons.

Tang Fei was too important.

He was the core figure of the Tang Family remnants, the link between the Qin and Lu families.

If Tang Fei died, the Tang Family would lack a leader, naturally collapsing, and the Qin and Lu families could be divided and won over...

Would the obstacle to Shen Family's unification disappear?

Exchanging Shen Boyu isn't just for Tang Fei, but for the unification of the Shen Family.

Of course, this shouldn't be spoken.

If Shen Boyu knew, it would affect brotherly feelings and family unity.

But if just exchanging them... wouldn't it be letting the tiger return to the mountain?

God knows how much they wanted to eliminate Tang Fei.
