"You flatter me. I understand you were all thinking of the bigger picture earlier, which is why you acted that way." Chu Feng was quite gracious, and seeing that the other party had backed down, he gave them a way to save face.
This immediately changed the way those people viewed Chu Feng. Their extreme annoyance and even rejection turned into a measure of goodwill, and some were even quite grateful to him.
"Big brother, shall we make our move now?" At this moment, someone turned their gaze to Elder Liu.
"No rush. Let's watch the show first. This is a spectacle we can't miss," Elder Liu said with a faint smile, a look of anticipation surfacing on his aged face.
Right now, the people on the surface were still immersed in jubilant cheers, for they knew the most thrilling moment was finally about to arrive: the clash of the three Guardian Disciples.
However, even though Xuan Xiaochao, Fu Fengming, and You Tonghan had already deactivated the grand formation, they didn't seem in a hurry to fight. Instead, they appeared to be waiting for something.
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!*
Finally, countless figures shot out from within the crowd. At the same time, the distant void began to ripple, and soon, golden warships emerged one after another.
There were over a thousand people, all experts at the Martial Lord realm. They moved in orderly formation, like an unstoppable army, slowly advancing toward Xuan Xiaochao and the others.
"Heavens, that's the forces of the Immortal Slayer Archipelago?!"
Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded. At this point, the people from the Immortal Slayer Archipelago were no longer hiding their identities. They had all changed into their distinctive uniforms, so people could recognize them at a glance.
Furthermore, judging from the posture of the Immortal Slayer Archipelago, anyone with half a brain could tell they had come with ill intentions.
"Look quickly, who is that leading them? Isn't that the Archipelago's young master, Murong Xun?"
"My god, it really is him! What is this number one genius of the Eastern Sea doing here?"
"No way? Could it be... could it be that Murong Xun wants to prove he's the true number one genius of the Immortal Slayer Archipelago, so he's come to challenge the three Guardian Disciples?"
"Really? If that's the case, then today we're truly in for a show."
When people noticed Murong Xun, the vast crowd grew excited once more. They sensed that a battle, unexpected but absolutely a true spectacle, was about to unfold—a true clash of geniuses.
"Murong Xun, this is the territory of our Residual Night Demon Sect. What are you doing bringing the Immortal Slayer Archipelago's forces here?" Xuan Xiaochao asked, very displeased.
"The territory of the Residual Night Demon Sect? Does the Residual Night Demon Sect even still exist? Besides, the entire Eastern Sea is now the territory of my Immortal Slayer Archipelago," Murong Xun said very overbearingly.
"Murong Xun, you can eat whatever you want, but be careful what you say. Do you really think that during the years our Residual Night Demon Sect lay dormant, your Immortal Slayer Archipelago became invincible under heaven?" You Tonghan asked, very displeased. As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, radiating killing intent.
"No. In my eyes, the Immortal Slayer Archipelago is not yet invincible under heaven. It's just that within this Eastern Sea, no one can defeat us," Murong Xun said with great confidence.
