Chapter 439: Seizing Power

Si Tu Bei Yan glanced into the distance. For some reason, Nie Li hadn't shown up. Could it be that Long Tianming had used some method to prevent him from coming?

Regardless of whether Nie Li came or not, the things he'd said about Long Tianming had put Si Tu Bei Yan on guard. He absolutely would not let Long Tianming ascend to the position of Sect Master of the Feathered God Sect.

With a cold snort, Si Tu Bei Yan waved his hand. A group of powerful fighters shot out, launching a probing attack against Long Tianming's forces.

"Do you think Si Tu Bei Yan will win, or Long Tianming?" The surrounding disciples of the Feathered God Sect murmured amongst themselves.

"Of course, it's Brother Si!"

Si Tu Bei Yan was the son of the Sect Master, and his influence had always slightly overshadowed Long Tianming's. Therefore, most people favored Si Tu Bei Yan.

"Still, Long Tianming is no weak opponent!"

Lu Piao, Li Xing Yun, Gu Bei, and the others watched from the sidelines. They felt frustrated, having prepared for so long only to end up watching a battle between Long Tianming and Si Tu Bei Yan, with nothing left for them to do. However, if forced to choose between the two, they naturally supported Si Tu Bei Yan.

Long Yu Yin stood among the crowd of the Dragon Seal Family. Towards Long Tianming, she felt a deep-seated, instinctive disgust and aversion. She'd come to watch for a moment before heading back to take care of Nie Li.

All eyes were focused on the central confrontation.

This battle would likely determine the fate of the entire Feathered God Sect.

**BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!**

The forces under Long Tianming and Si Tu Bei Yan clashed, fighting to a standstill with no clear advantage.

**Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!**

Six Dragon Path Realm experts emerged from Long Tianming's ranks, beginning a frenzied slaughter.

"Six in the Dragon Path Realm!" Si Tu Bei Yan's heart skipped a beat. Besides these six, he realized Long Tianming seemed to have hidden even more experts. A rough estimate suggested at least three more powerful figures in the Dragon Path Realm.

When had Long Tianming recruited so many powerful fighters?

With an angry roar, Si Tu Bei Yan also directed his own five Dragon Path Realm experts to engage.

The battle between Dragon Path Realm powerhouses descended into utter chaos.

The Five Giants communicated amongst themselves.

A woman's voice rang out, belonging to one of the Five Giants, Linglong Shenzun. She was Long Yu Yin's grandmother and a highly influential figure in the Feathered God Sect.

"It seems Si Tu Bei Yan is going to lose. Will the position of Acting Sect Master then go to my Dragon Seal Family?" Linglong Shenzun's voice was alluring and charming, bearing a certain resemblance to Long Yu Yin's mother, Long Shu Yun, enough to make one's bones go weak upon hearing it.

Tianwu Shenzun smiled faintly. "The position of Acting Sect Master belongs to the capable. What harm is there in letting the Dragon Seal Family have it?"

"Sect Master, that's not quite right," Linglong Shenzun countered. "My Dragon Seal Family secured this through strength. How can you say 'letting'? It's just... that brat Nie Li arranged so much and even sent us so many sacred herbs. How disappointing that he didn't come to compete!"
