"He... he... he actually really came!"
When the three of them appeared, the outsiders were thrilled, but the people from Sword God Valley grew visibly tense. Especially those weaker disciples and elders — some of them were outright fearful.
After all, Chu Feng's reputation had grown terrifyingly powerful over the past period. Countless people had died at his hands, leaving deep shadows in the minds of these disciples and elders. And today, the three of them had clearly come with hostile intentions.
"Chu Feng, Zhang Tianyi — you two have committed countless crimes and shed blood without number. Do you recognize your guilt?"
At that moment, a voice rang out. It wasn't particularly loud, but it carried an overwhelming pressure — it was the Sword God Valley's Ancestor.
When his voice sounded, not only did the ground beneath their feet tremble, but even the sky itself shook. The aura of a sixth-level Heaven Martial was enough to shake heaven and earth.
In that instant, the Sword God Valley disciples who had been panicking moments ago immediately calmed down, because they believed this Ancestor's strength was more than sufficient to deal with the three figures in the air.
As for those who had come hoping to witness an exciting battle — they frowned slightly. At a time like this, they would have preferred both sides to be evenly matched. But with this Ancestor-level figure presiding over the fight, Chu Feng's chances were clearly very slim.
"You know perfectly well why I've come after your Sword God Valley. You know who's right and who's wrong."
"I didn't come here today to waste my breath on arguments. But I'll give a fair warning to all the disciples and elders of Sword God Valley — today, I, Chu Feng, am going to open the slaughter. If you don't want to die, now is the time to leave. If you stay, don't blame me for being ruthless." Chu Feng spoke.
"Ha! What big words. No wonder they say you, Chu Feng, are arrogant and conceited. Seeing you today, the rumors are indeed true."
"Rest assured — you won't get the chance to go on a killing spree. This place will be your grave." The Sword God Valley Ancestor smiled confidently, then turned his gaze toward Zi Ling beside Chu Feng and said: "Miss Zi Ling, our Sword God Valley has no grudge against you, and we have no wish to harm you. Leave now, and we won't hold it against you. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
Though the Sword God Valley Ancestor was powerful, he knew that Zi Ling's grandfather, Zi Xuanyuan, was not someone to be trifled with. He harbored some hesitation about involving Zi Ling.
This was also the main reason why, after Zi Ling and Chu Feng had jointly caused havoc at the Fire God Gate, all the various factions had once again turned their spears toward Chu Feng alone, while no one had issued a warrant for Zi Ling.
"I am Chu Feng's fiancée. His enemies are my enemies. Your Sword God Valley has treated Chu Feng this way — insulting his ancestors, bullying his family — and you dare say you have no grudge against me?"
"To be perfectly honest, I, Zi Ling, have only one purpose in coming here today — to join Chu Feng and open the slaughter in your Sword God Valley."
*Whoosh.* As she spoke, a flash of ruthlessness suddenly surged in Zi Ling's beautiful eyes. With a flick of her will, the Exquisite Chariot descended from the sky carrying the imposing momentum of the strange weapon within. With a thunderous *boom*, it crashed down into the crowd of Sword God Valley disciples.
The chariot fell far too suddenly — before anyone could react, over a dozen people had already been crushed to death. At the same time, layer after layer of brilliant golden ripples surged outward from the Exquisite Chariot, sweeping across the crowd and engulfing more than a thousand disciples within.
