"Su Hen, what are you just standing around watching for? Help me deal with this guy!" As he watched his family members killed one by one, falling one after another, yet being completely powerless to do anything about it...
Shangguan Yue was on the verge of going mad. In the end, with no other option, he cast his desperate gaze toward Su Hen and the others from the City Lord's Manor.
But how could Su Hen possibly lend a hand? Not only did he secretly wish for the Shangguan family to be destroyed, but even if he were truly allies with the Shangguan family, he still wouldn't act in a situation like this. He had no desire to offend a gray-robed Spirit World Master.
"Su Hen, I'm begging you — help my Shangguan family. Don't let our bloodline be cut off!" Seeing Su Hen remain unmoved, Shangguan Yue had no choice but to lower his pride and speak in a pleading tone. But even so, Su Hen still showed no reaction.
"Su Hen, I'll make you regret this for the rest of your life!" Finally, Shangguan Yue gave up on asking for help. Instead, he let out a furious roar and launched an extremely powerful attack at Chu Feng.
The tremendous Mystic Force actually transformed into a massive, surging tidal wave. The crashing spray rose several zhang high, with layer upon layer pressing downward. The power contained within was enough to flatten an entire stretch of forest — it was clear that Shangguan Yue was fighting with everything he had.
"Old bastard, so you're finally getting serious." Seeing this, Chu Feng didn't dare let his guard down either. He quickly redirected his Mental Power, continuously weaving gray barriers in front of himself to withstand Shangguan Yue's full-force strike.
"Whoosh!" However, the very instant that towering wave crashed against the barrier, Shangguan Yue's figure flickered as he appeared beside Shangguan Tian and Shangguan Ya. With a sweep of his wide sleeve, two streams of Mystic Force surged outward.
The powerful Mystic Force split in two directions — one swept up Shangguan Tian and Shangguan Ya, while the other grabbed Su Rou and Su Mei, imprisoning them within like a cage.
"No good — the old bastard is trying to flee!" Chu Feng realized in a flash. So Shangguan Yue hadn't actually intended to fight him to the death — he was trying to escape.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Chu Feng had predicted, after binding Shangguan Tian, Shangguan Ya, Su Rou, and Su Mei with a special technique, Shangguan Yue tapped the ground with his toes, and a fierce gust of wind erupted outward.
When that wind dissipated, Shangguan Yue had vanished without a trace. And at the same time, Shangguan Ya, Shangguan Tian, Su Rou, and Su Mei had all disappeared as well.
"This is bad!"
Seeing this, Su Hen's expression changed drastically. Shangguan Yue hadn't fled alone — not only had he taken his two grandsons, but he had also seized Su Hen's two daughters.
Thinking back to how he had watched coldly from the sidelines, turning a blind eye to the life and death of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Yue would surely hate him to the bone. Now that both of his daughters had fallen into that man's hands, the consequences would be absolutely unthinkable.
At the thought of this, Su Hen completely panicked. He released the aura of his Xuan Wu Fifth Level cultivation and was about to give chase after Shangguan Yue. But before he could even move, a powerful hand landed on his shoulder and suppressed his aura.
"You—" Su Hen turned to look and drew in a sharp breath. The one blocking him was none other than that mysterious gray-robed Spirit World Master.
"Stay right here and behave. I'll settle things with you later." After saying this, Chu Feng's figure shot upward and vanished.
Once Chu Feng had left, Su Hen's face had already gone deathly pale. He could tell from Chu Feng's words that this powerful figure was quite displeased with him. But he couldn't figure out when he had ever offended such an important person. Regardless, he knew he had likely gotten himself into serious trouble.
Especially when he swept his gaze backward and saw the bodies of the Shangguan family elites all lying in pools of blood — the fear within his heart intensified to its absolute peak. He had truly witnessed what it meant to be ruthless and merciless. Such a person was far too terrifying.
Meanwhile, in the Vermilion Bird Mountains, Shangguan Yue was sprinting madly through the forest. His speed was astonishing — despite the fact that four people were bound above his head by Mystic Force, it didn't affect his speed in the slightest.
