Shrieks echoed throughout the area. Except for a few who managed to escape, all the others were instantly killed.
Last night, when facing five masters of the Ji Mi stage, Qin Feng and Isabella had shown mercy. But today, they had stepped on Qin's last nerve—now they had no choice but to meet their end.
What about the disciples from the Ten Great Sects? You dare to kidnap my girlfriend? Then I'll kill you all. It's merely a matter of adding more enemies. Even if the entire cultivation world stands against me, I will avenge my girlfriend.
To prevent any psychological trauma for Rentarou Kiyoko, Qin insisted on sending her into the Xiao Ding before delivering the final blow.
Several cultivators were completely annihilated—on the scene, the devastation was overwhelming.
On the distant hillock, five cultivators at the Ji Mi stage, severely wounded but still on the battlefield, stared in disbelief. They had stayed put simply hoping to share in the spoils of victory.
Yet now, with no benefits gained, they had lost over a dozen fresh lives. The one injured the most was utterly disillusioned and spoke up, "Let's just leave." "Yes, let's leave immediately—we don't know if Qin Feng has even noticed our presence," the other added. The five of them moved in perfect synchrony, summoning their flying swords and fleeing in different directions. Qin Feng saw them and was about to pursue, but was pulled back by Isabella, who said, "We've done enough—let's go back now, or else things will go wrong at Si Si's and Wu Wu's ends." "Well, today's a lucky day for them—let's give them a chance to survive," Qin said firmly. ... The XIAO YAO school, Dong Guan, stared in disbelief at the just-received intelligence. His eyes were wide open, and he murmured, "Impossible! Can this young Qin really dare to go head-to-head with the entire cultivation world? Does he not care about his own life?"
"The dispatched disciple responsible for delivering the message sighed, saying, 'This is true—dozens of peers have died at his hands, and many more have been severely injured. Qin Feng has now become a public enemy of the cultivation world. Our abbot has urged us to unite and jointly eliminate this threat!' This has been exactly what Dong Qinkuan has long hoped for, yet he couldn't help but feel disheartened. Qin Feng's strength is already extraordinary, and now there's even a more extraordinary woman from a different ethnic group by his side. Together, they will surely be difficult to handle. While uniting offers a numerical advantage, the opponents' strength lies in their agility—how can a large group coordinate their actions effectively? Thus, what is an advantage becomes a disadvantage. The messenger glanced out toward the outside. Though the XIAOYAO disciples have cleared away most of the ruins, the fact that the main hall was destroyed has already spread throughout the cultivation world."
He saw Dong Guanqin remaining silent and immediately added, "It's clear that your sect has also suffered significant damage at the hands of Qin Feng. As the headmaster of the foremost great sect, now is the time for you to rally the others. If we cannot eliminate Qin Feng, the entire cultivation realm stands in peril!" Dong Guanqin offered a wan smile. To be honest, the current situation had completely exceeded his expectations—he had never imagined it would unfold this way. If he had known back then how things would turn out, he would never have provoked Qin. Now, even if he were willing to compromise, Qin might not be inclined to do so. At this point, there's no turning back. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Go back and inform your headmaster that the eradication of Qin Feng is everyone's responsibility. I, Dong Guanqin, will certainly not remain passive. Please ask him to engage more allies—only through united efforts can we hope for success!"
"The man beamed with a smile: "Master Dong, please don't worry. Our master has dispatched several of our brothers-in-arms, and I'm sure most sects have already been reached. Master also mentioned that as the head of the foremost sect, it's natural for you to take the lead."
Master Dong smiled: "How could I possibly be so humble? After all, our master initiated the effort, so it would be more appropriate for him to take the lead."
"Master Dong, you're being too polite. It's only natural that you take the lead—everyone looks to you."
"Very well," Master Dong agreed, clearly not as well understood by Ma Yinghong as he might have hoped. Sometimes, being the leading figure isn't exactly a blessing.
The entire cultivation world became active, with all parties demanding the elimination of Qin Feng and a clean sky for all.
The Tongling Sect, of course, was no exception and had also been invited.
Holding the grand, gold-embossed invitation, the Master of Tongling didn't know what to do. With his right index finger tapping the table, he murmured to himself, "What on earth is Qin Xiao-you doing? He's been building enemies everywhere, and now he's become the common enemy of the entire cultivation world. It's one thing for him to be an adversary to everyone, but what about my beloved disciple, Ling'er?"
The Master sighed and shook his head, saying, "Right now, the only choice we have is to stand with the majority!" "Then we'll have to go against our younger sister," Master Zhong exclaimed loudly. The Master waved his hand, "That's exactly what I've been thinking. By joining the majority, we can gather intelligence and alert Ling'er and Qin Feng in advance, so they can minimize the danger!" Master Zhong brightened up, "Yes, that's right. We can choose to be physically in the camp but mentally loyal—Master, you've truly thought this through. I just never considered it!" The Abbot of the Spirit-Communicating Sect looked more helpless than ever. He was caught between wanting to save his young disciple's life and ensuring the safety of the entire sect—being caught in the middle was the most difficult position of all. At that moment, the second disciple hurried over, gasping for breath, and reported, "It's bad news, Master! We've been surrounded. The leaders are Dong Qiankun and the True Form Immortal. The Immortal of the Fire God has also arrived!"
"Brother Master was surprised: "So quickly? Didn't Master express any clear stance just now—aren't they planning to take action against us? What exactly do they intend to do?"
The Gate Master replied calmly: "They're pressuring me to make a decision. If I dare to refuse their demands, they'll surely deal a severe blow to you and me. Dong truly has no memory of past defeats—he's suffered so many setbacks under Qin Feng, yet still forgets them so easily. Now, with such high spirits, he's acting as if he's deliberately seeking his own demise!"
