"Brother Shunlian, you'd actually use your life-bound treasure to protect them? Are you truly seeking death?" Upon seeing the bronze bowl, the two Supreme Elders' faces filled with shock and distress.
After all, they were of the same clan. In truth, before this moment, they had already suspected that Kong Shunlian might betray their race.
However, they had not prepared themselves to kill Kong Shunlian.
"After all these years, don't you two still understand me, Kong Shunlian? Either you let me leave with these two young friends today, or you kill me along with them." Kong Shunlian said with a smile.
When he spoke those words, there was not the slightest trace of timidity or fear. On the contrary, it sounded more like he was joking.
He no longer feared death. He had truly made up his mind—at the price of his life, he would protect Chu Feng and the other.
"Brother Shunlian, to be honest, killing you is something we truly cannot bear to do."
"But the interests of our race are above all else. Today... even if we cannot bear it, we have no choice but to strike." With that, the two Supreme Elders both launched their attacks.
"Then let us fight this battle to our hearts' content." Kong Shunlian gripped his Ancestral Weapon and clashed with the two Supreme Elders.
In an instant, this area of heaven and earth was no longer just a scene of two people exchanging blows—it had transformed into a battleground of True Immortals.
The might of it multiplied several times over, and terrifying ripples of energy expanded their range once more.
Meanwhile, those who had come seeking Chu Feng's fame were gradually drawing closer.
But upon seeing the sky darken and churn with roiling clouds, the battlefield flashing with blinding light, they dared not approach at all.
"What terrifying might! I once had the fortune to witness two True Immortals in battle, but their power was nothing compared to today's. It seems the True Immortals today are far stronger. What on earth has happened?"
The onlookers dared not approach and could only observe from afar. Under such conditions, most people couldn't make out the true situation at all, having no idea what was really happening.
"Let me take a look."
Just then, an elderly man wearing a cloak stepped to the very front of the crowd.
After this elder appeared, many people scoffed. There were numerous people present, and while they ranged in all levels of ability, there was no shortage of peak Martial Ancestor experts among them.
If even peak Martial Ancestor experts couldn't see through to the true situation within the True Immortal battleground, what ability could this old man possibly possess?
As if sensing everyone's doubts, the old man removed the hood from his head, revealing his face.
He was an old man with a dark complexion, a long face resembling that of a horse, yet with snow-white hair and an extraordinary bearing.
"It's actually Senior Zhuge, who hasn't appeared in public for ages!"
Upon seeing this elder, every person present changed their expression.
This elder's name was Zhuge Mingren—a truly important figure.
What did the Hundred Refinements Upper Realm lack most? What it lacked most were Immortal Robe Spirit World Masters, and this Zhuge Mingren was a Snake-pattern Immortal Robe Spirit World Master.
He could be called one of the most renowned figures in the entire Hundred Refinements Upper Realm.
"Everyone, remain calm. Once I take a look, I'll know what's going on."
Zhuge Mingren's eyes grew bright, like two small suns.
And the surging ripples of energy, the raging dust and smoke—all were pierced through by his luminous gaze.
Gradually, the situation where Chu Feng and the others were located became crystal clear to Zhuge Mingren.
