Li Wei and the clan members looked toward the cloudy sky.
They saw that in the Dao arena, where the two Body Integration almighty experts were fighting, a cluster of flame landed on the barrier.
The flame gradually burned into a ring, incinerating the void, and also incinerating Li Tianqi's Tier-4 array formation.
"Oh no!"
Perfected Qinghe—who was currently high-spirited under the assistance of Li Yaoqing's life-filled Wood element Divine Arts—changed his expression.
A massive totem carved with a divine phoenix bird suddenly blocked the toxic venom spewed by Perfected Qinghe's nine-headed dragon phantom, forcing Perfected Qinghe to retreat in panic.
However, Perfected Qinghe quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
Following closely behind were several auras; it was precisely Zhao Guang and Wenren Jiuyue.
.......
"You Wu tribe old scoundrel!"
The Nirvana Sage Elder arrived. Seeing that there were quite a few human race cultivators here, he also saw Nun Dairou's predicament, and thus the two joined forces.
But before he could even ask about the whereabouts of Fei Heng's corpse together, Zhao Guang's sharp shout echoed from the void, causing him to sigh helplessly.
"A lingering ghost that refuses to disperse."
At this moment, the vertical eye in the center of Zhao Guang's forehead emitted a light that seemed capable of annihilating everything.
Under the Nirvana Sage Elder's Dao of Fire, the spiritual pond within the Dao arena gradually turned into magma.
Spiritual power burst forth from the totem, causing the spiritual power within the magma to condense, transforming into a divine phoenix bird that charged at Zhao Guang.
The void grew even hotter.
Thirty-six massive statues, forming a grand array in accordance with the intent of the Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits, surrounded the area.
Like a God of War, Zhao Guang tangled with the divine phoenix bird and charged toward the Nirvana Sage Elder.
Zhao Guang's Spiritual power was filled with the power of annihilation, while the Nirvana Sage Elder's Spiritual power incinerated everything it touched.
Amidst the battle, the Void Refinement cultivators wore ugly expressions, forced to be extremely careful.
Fortunately, Wenren Jiuyue had arrived. Beneath the magma of the Dao arena, rolling shadows could be seen.
With just a light tap from him, countless flying daggers shot out, and centipedes and poisonous snakes burst forth from the magma.
However, they were firmly suppressed by the Nirvana Sage Elder's Wu tribe techniques.
His Daoist techniques lived in the shadow of the Nirvana Sage Elder, though it could still be considered to have lessened the pressure on everyone.
"Perfected Qinghe, where is the Crown Prince?"
As soon as Wenren Jiuyue arrived, he asked Perfected Qinghe.
Hearing this, Perfected Qinghe hesitated for a moment, his face darkening. "Killed by the demoness."
"Hmm?"
Wenren Jiuyue was stunned for a moment.
Then, following Perfected Qinghe's evasive gaze, he looked toward the Li family members in the distance—who, despite the clash of such experts, remained safely in the void—and understood that Fei Heng had lost his life at the hands of the Li family.
Even though he had received orders from the Empress to eliminate Fei Heng, he was still endlessly surprised. "Are... are you joking?"
Wenren Jiuyue's mouth gaped wide.
While battling the Nirvana Sage Elder, the Sage Elder had stripped Fei Heng down to his boxers in order to make them stop fighting.
Even when he arrived here, he had felt Fei Heng's aura breaking through to the Body Integration realm!
But now Perfected Qinghe was telling him that the Li family killed Fei Heng?
He looked over at the cloud in the distance.
The Li family's black mist figure stood at the very front, gripping two long spears and looking left and right.
That fellow Li Yaozu held an incredibly ordinary long sword, his eyes following Nun Dairou's movements, looking exactly as if he was preparing for a sneak attack.
That fellow Li Yunbing looked totally unbothered, pondering unknown thoughts.
Li Kuanghua, looking like a little yellow bean, was wielding a heavy iron staff, seemingly trying to get used to it.
Li Changyao was staring distressedly at the four arrows in her quiver, counting on her fingers.
The youngest, Li Xinnian, seemed to sense his gaze and showed him a gentle smile.
"Monsters. What kind of bloodline does this clan actually have?"
Wenren Jiuyue sighed in admiration, already sensing that the age and innate aptitude of the Li Clan members were extraordinary.
Although these people looked... like they had absolutely no intent to fight, Wenren Jiuyue could also feel that they had already become a massive power within the dynasty.
But to say they killed a Body Integration expert?
Wenren Jiuyue didn't believe it for a second.
The descendants of their Wenren Clan were not inferior in the slightest, yet when the children of the Wenren Clan faced a Dao-Glimpsing realm expert, the most they could do was repel them, and even then, they would suffer casualties.
Trying to kill a Body Integration expert was a mere fantasy.
Unless...
Looking again at Perfected Qinghe's darkened face, he raised an eyebrow and smiled. "So that's how it is. I understand."
"What do you understand?" Perfected Qinghe deployed a technique. Seeing Wenren Jiuyue's teasing expression, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Wenren Jiuyue felt clear in his heart and nodded slightly.
"I understand. Perfected Qinghe is an elder of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, fiercely loyal and devoted. How could he possibly lay a lethal hand on the Crown Prince?
It was definitely Nun Dairou who killed the Crown Prince, or otherwise, it must have been the Nirvana Sage Elder. On this point, this humble one can testify for Perfected Qinghe."
