Within the Kong Heavenly Clan, the clan's patriarch was still inside that great hall. Quite a few elders of the Kong Heavenly Clan remained there with him, keeping him company.
"Patriarch, nothing should go wrong, right?" someone asked with worry.
After all, Chu Feng's life or death was tied to the survival of the Kong Heavenly Clan. They were all terrified of failure.
"Rest assured. I trust Elder Kong Xuanlian. He would never betray our Kong Heavenly Clan."
"Even if he truly cannot bring himself to kill Chu Feng and the other one, Kong Moyu, Kong Yuehua, and the other four elders will show no mercy. Chu Feng is nothing more than a junior, an Half Ancestor cultivator. With our Kong Heavenly Clan's Supreme Elder watching over him, he will die no matter what."
When it came to the matter of Chu Feng's fate today, the patriarch of the Kong Heavenly Clan was quite confident. After all, for the sake of a mere junior, he had dispatched even their Supreme Elder.
That was a True Immortal!!!
However, from these words it was also evident that Kong Moyu, Kong Yuehua, and the others had been secretly following Kong Xuanlian all along — it had been his arrangement all.
This patriarch of the Kong Heavenly Clan was a shrewd, calculating man. Although on the surface he kept saying he trusted Kong Xuanlian, in truth he did not trust him at all. Otherwise, why would he have arranged for four Supreme Elders to tail Kong Xuanlian?
"Patriarch speaks truly." Hearing the patriarch's words, the others of the Kong Heavenly Clan all wore relieved smiles.
Boom boom boom boom—
However, at that very moment, a piercing roar of thunder suddenly came from outside the hall.
Boom boom boom boom—
Boom boom boom boom—
…………
And that rumbling was continuous and unrelenting. Even the palace itself trembled and shook in waves.
"What's going on?"
Sensing that something was wrong, the people of the Kong Heavenly Clan — led by their patriarch — all rushed out of the palace, wanting to see what was happening.
And when they emerged from the palace, every single one of them was stunned by the scene before them.
Within the Kong Heavenly Clan — this vast, boundless colossus — countless palaces had already been destroyed, and countless clan members had been slain.
The sounds of palaces collapsing, mountains crumbling, and clan members wailing in agony practically flooded the entire Kong Heavenly Clan.
It was a bloodbath!!!
And at the root of it all was a single person in the sky above.
That person held a blood-red longsword, and with every swing, it unleashed crimson blade-light.
The crimson blade-light descended from the heavens, slashing downward, and no one could block it. It wrought catastrophic destruction in its wake.
Each time a wave of blade-light fell, it would demolish countless structures of the Kong Heavenly Clan and kill countless of its members.
"You dare come to our Kong Heavenly Clan and wreak havoc? You're courting death!!!"
Upon seeing this scene, the patriarch of the Kong Heavenly Clan threw a punch into the air. The martial might of a Rank Two True Immortal manifested, carrying with it a crushing, all-devastating pressure as it blasted toward the figure in the sky.
The power of this punch was extraordinary — it carried absolute destructive force.
The intruder clearly bore ill intent, so the patriarch cared nothing for who it might be. He struck with a killing blow, intending to end the opponent's life on the spot.
Hum—
Yet, facing the attack of the Kong Heavenly Clan patriarch — a Rank Two True Immortal — that figure simply waved the blood-red longsword in his hand, and the patriarch's attack was easily dispersed.
"How can this be?" Seeing his attack neutralized so effortlessly, the patriarch's eyes changed instantly.
"That person?" And if even the patriarch of the Kong Heavenly Clan was this shocked, one could well imagine the expressions on the faces of the other members.
After all, the patriarch was a Rank Two True Immortal — not only the strongest existence within the Kong Heavenly Clan, but one of the most powerful beings in the entire Hundred Refinements Mortal Realm.
Who on earth was this, that they could so easily deflect the patriarch's attack?
"So you've finally decided to show your face."
At that moment, the figure in the sky turned his gaze toward the patriarch, his voice carrying a trace of mockery.
