In truth, it wasn't just Yafei and Murong Wan who were stunned — even Murong Xun was dumbfounded.
The mighty Ninth Immortal, who was said to be capable of fighting even a Martial King, was now being thrashed senseless by ten old men. It defied all reason and was almost impossible to watch.
True, the Ninth Immortal was also an old man himself, but his reputation preceded him. This sight… was truly unbearable to look at.
However, Murong Xun's gaze shifted. When he looked toward the deepest part of the grand hall, the bewildered expression on his face gave way to a cold smile. "What a stroke of fortune — I couldn't have found you if I'd searched the ends of the earth, yet here you are without any effort. I'd like to see who can save you today."
"He's here too — Wuching!" Upon hearing Murong Xun's words, Yafei and Murong Wan turned their gazes in the same direction. When they saw that it was none other than Chu Feng, their expressions shifted with shock.
At that moment, Chu Feng was seated cross-legged before the Demon Sealing Offensive Formation. Drawing upon the stone that Elder Liu had given him, he was releasing a continuous stream of golden barrier power, fully focused on activating the formation — working to bring the Demon Sealing Offensive Array online in its entirety.
His plan had been to open the grand formation ahead of time while Elder Liu and the others were engaged in battle, so as to prevent more members of the Remaining Night Demon Sect from falling and to stop the tide of the war from turning against them.
But the moment the voices of Murong Xun and his companions rang out one after another, Chu Feng snapped his gaze over. When he saw Murong Xun, Yafei, and Murong Wan standing just outside the hall, he shot to his feet in an instant.
Not only did fury surge through his heart, but a bone-piercing killing intent radiated from every inch of his body.
Because these three were the very enemies he had dreamed of killing night and day — his archenemies!
"Young Island Master, hurry — save me!" Upon seeing Murong Xun arrive, the Ninth Immortal clutched at a lifeline, calling out in his feeble voice for help.
"To think the Ninth Immortal would expect some wet-behind-the-ears brat to save him. It seems you're not all that impressive after all." In truth, the arrival of Murong Xun and his two companions had long since drawn Elder Liu and the others' attention.
They simply hadn't deemed Murong Xun worth their notice, which was why they continued to pummel the Ninth Immortal with fists and feet — they had every intention of making the Ninth Immortal lose face, deliberately humiliating the Immortal Slaying Archipelago.
Now, seeing the Ninth Immortal actually beg for help, they naturally sneered and mocked without restraint.
"Ha ha, how wonderful. Everyone who dares to stand against my Immortal Slaying Archipelago seems to have gathered here today. I might as well deal with all of you at once." A smile hung at the corner of Murong Xun's lips, but his eyes glinted with a dense killing intent.
"What a big mouth you have, Murong Xun. Even the Ninth Immortal is no match for us — and you, some young brat, think you can kill us?" The second of the Golden-Robed Brothers curled his lip in a cold sneer.
"Hmph. Killing the ten of you old fossils would be as easy as crushing an ant." Murong Xun flicked his wrist, and the silver spear reappeared in his palm.
The moment the King Weapon emerged, his power surged dramatically. Murong Xun's robes billowed without wind, his combat strength amplified, his entire bearing becoming overwhelmingly imposing — like a king ruling over the world.
"This pressure… Could it be…"
"It's a King Weapon! That kid actually has a King Weapon!!!"
Sensing the sudden, dramatic shift in Murong Xun, the ten Golden-Robed Brothers were greatly startled. They were worldly men who had seen much, and they recognized at a glance that what Murong Xun held was a King Weapon.
"So that's a King Weapon? Murong Xun actually earned a King Weapon's recognition?" Hearing that the silver spear was a King Weapon, even Chu Feng's expression shifted. He couldn't help observing more closely.
"Heh, and what of a King Weapon? A King Weapon can only display its true power in the hands of a Martial King."
"Besides, in my eyes, this King Weapon hasn't truly acknowledged you as its master." Elder Liu was surprised, but far from afraid.
"Quit your nonsense — this King Weapon has long since recognized me as its master, or how could I wield it?" At these words, Murong Xun flew into a rage. He absolutely loathed being looked down upon by others.
