"Long Tenghui?"
Upon seeing those nine people, not only the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch but all the Totem Dragon Clan members were unable to contain their fury.
These nine had all committed grave offenses in the past. Though the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch had expelled them from the clan, he had spared their lives out of consideration for the contributions they had once made.
Who would have thought that, rather than feeling grateful, they would follow Dragon Scale and participate in the rebellion?
Moreover, during this rebellion, quite a few clan members had died at their hands.
"Patriarch, just moments ago you were planning to pass on our Totem Dragon Clan's bloodline cultivation technique to this outsider."
"You still have the nerve to show anger toward us?"
"It seems we were right to follow Lord Dragon Scale. You… are no longer worthy of being the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch."
As Long Tenghui spoke, he swept his sleeve, and heaven and earth trembled.
High in the sky, a massive golden net was descending—he intended to trap Chu Feng and the others here.
And wait for Dragon Scale's arrival.
"You insignificant insects think you can trap me?!!!"
The Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch roared, and in the next moment, overwhelming might erupted from his body.
Not only was the heaven-obscuring golden net instantly shattered, but Long Tenghui and the others were also engulfed by that pressure.
"This is bad."
Only then did Long Tenghui and the others realize something was terribly wrong.
The Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch's cultivation had not been completely sealed. Whatever method he had used, he had now managed to unleash a portion of his cultivation.
Although it was far from his normal level.
Even so, Long Tenghui and his group were absolutely no match.
Sensing the danger, Long Tenghui and the others attempted to flee.
The Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch spoke as his palm clenched violently toward the void.
In the next instant, Long Tenghui and the other peak powerhouses were all obliterated, crushed to dust.
They were dead beyond dead—even their essences had been completely destroyed.
"What a pity."
Seeing this, Chu Feng felt a slight sense of regret.
Those individuals had been far from weak, and their essences could have been put to great use.
But the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch harbored bone-deep hatred for those people, so when he struck, he showed absolutely no mercy.
By the time Chu Feng reacted, the nine were already thoroughly dead.
Pfft—
Although he had eliminated Long Tenghui and the others with a single strike, in the next moment, a mouthful of blood sprayed from the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch's mouth.
He then became so weak that he could barely even stand.
"Father."
"Patriarch."
Seeing this, Long Chengyu, Long Muxi, and the others hurriedly rushed over to support the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch.
But at that moment, the patriarch's condition was still deteriorating.
It was evident that though the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch had just broken free of his restraints and killed Long Tenghui and the others, he had paid a considerable price.
Meanwhile, Dragon Scale, fearing something might happen to Long Xue, continued pouring his own bloodline power into the formation.
He did not know how to undo this formation, but at the very least, continuously channeling his bloodline into it was the only way to counteract it.
But suddenly, he noticed that the compass bearing the dragon engraving had developed an anomaly.
His brow furrowed immediately.
"He wasn't completely sealed after all?"
Just from the compass, he could tell what had happened.
He knew that the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch had overcome the sealing force and unleashed a measure of his cultivation.
In that case, the nine he had sent to control the Totem Dragon Clan members were surely done for.
But compared to the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch and the others, he was more worried about Chu Feng. He absolutely could not let Chu Feng escape.
After all, Chu Feng had first used powerful teleportation force to bypass the restrictions of the Ancestral Martial Forbidden Zone and forcibly take the Totem Dragon Clan members away.
And now the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch had also broken through the sealing force and unleashed his cultivation.
This worried him greatly—he feared that dragging things out would only lead to more complications.
And so, a look of resolve surfaced in his eyes.
"Young friend Chu Feng, don't blame me."
With that, one hand continued channeling bloodline power into the formation within Long Xue's body.
His other hand reached toward his Universe Bag, and two items appeared before him.
One was an ancient beast-hide scroll. When unrolled, it bore not only the engraving of a dragon but also the character for "forbidden."
The other item was considerably larger than the scroll. It glowed with golden light, radiating an overwhelmingly tyrannical and sacred aura.
