"How dare you!"
Qian Daoliu rebuked through gritted teeth, thoroughly infuriated.
How dare someone kill one of his men right in front of him, the High Priest, the supreme powerhouse?
And it was done so mercilessly, with such ruthless methods.
Therefore, he firmly remembered the name Chu Feng, branding the man's image deep into his mind.
However, he still chose not to act, maintaining his shrinking, defensive mindset.
But Demon-Subduing Douluo could not bear it. He shouted in a fit of rage, "You killed my elder brother! I will have my revenge!"
Chu Feng looked up and smiled. "Do you have the ability?"
Demon-Subduing Douluo moved to strike, his spirit power surging as he forcefully clashed against the Primordial Chaos Aura permeating the air.
Then, Bang~
Qian Daoliu placed a hand on Demon-Subduing Douluo's shoulder, releasing a rolling divine force that suppressed him.
He said in a low, heavy voice, "Haven't we lost enough face? They will pay this debt sooner or later, but not now."
Such shocking words made Ghost Douluo briefly wonder if he had followed the wrong person; this was nothing short of admitting defeat.
Qian Daoliu continued, "Since you insist on withdrawing from Spirit Hall, then the next time we meet, we shall be enemies."
He maintained his haughty aura, as if he were the one in the dominant position.
Chu Feng teased playfully, "The High Priest is quite sensible after all. You weren't there to witness my joining Spirit Hall, but I'm grateful you can be so generous now that I'm leaving."
Qian Renxue laughed along. "It's for the best. I didn't want to stay in this broken Spirit Hall anyway. I really must thank Grandfather for being so broad-minded."
Bibi Dong added casually, "I return the position of Supreme Pontiff to the High Priest. I wish you glory alongside the gods."
Haha, it was clear everyone was a master of sarcasm. Sentence after sentence broke Qian Daoliu's composure; his face flushed red and his brows knitted together. His expression looked like a bitter melon, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't regain a serious demeanor.
Demon-Subduing Douluo was even more unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. After all, one must walk the path they choose. He and Ghost Douluo could only stand there helplessly.
Qian Daoliu made no further moves, but he jolted his spirit power. The strength he displayed was indeed at the Great Circle of a First-rank Deity.
However, this was merely a show of force; he had no intention of actually fighting Chu Feng.
He then turned around, leaving behind a harsh, stern warning before departing: "Soon, I will let you know the consequences of betraying Spirit Hall."
Well said, but Chu Feng was unmoved. He replied softly, "I'm afraid by then, Spirit Hall will be in a precarious state of collapse."
"You..."
Qian Daoliu was speechless, so angry that his Angel divine force manifested slightly.
Following that, he led his people away into the sea of snow, leaving in a pathetic state.
Qian Renxue smiled. "I thought he could act like a man and be upright, but he didn't even have the courage to face my Feng. He doesn't deserve to be called my grandfather."
She was directly stating her stance. She no longer had any lingering affection for Spirit Hall or Qian Daoliu. Even if the inheritance of the Angel bloodline remained, she believed she would stand firm in this resolve.
Bibi Dong, on the other hand, appeared somewhat silent. Leaving the Spirit Hall she had governed for many years and stepping down from her position as Supreme Pontiff brought a touch of melancholy. She was truly bidding farewell to the past years she had worked so hard for.
But everyone had to put aside their sentimentality for the moment, because at this time, the entire summit of Mount Buzhou underwent a destructive tremor, with several cracks bursting open.
It seemed the traces of Mount Buzhou's Daoist karma had completely vanished. With no more abundant spiritual energy and divine force gathering here, the balance of heaven and earth it symbolized was broken.
As Chu Feng thought of this, the system reacted slightly.
However, the most urgent matter was to evacuate. Thus, Chu Feng immediately pulled back all the nearby Primordial Violet Qi and used the Qi to manifest a giant Shadow Dragon. Although it wasn't as grand as the Black Dragon God, its safety and stability were definitely top-tier.
"Everyone, get on the dragon! We're preparing to head down the mountain."
Chu Feng was the first to leap onto the dragon's back, with Devil Bear and Flame Eagle actively following close behind.
Bibi Dong was still in a daze, so Xiao Wu went to call her, and then Qian Renxue went to lead the two of them.
"Hey, don't dawdle, or you'll be buried under the mountain rubble!"
Chu Feng shouted, pulling Qian Renxue up first.
Bibi Dong's mind was a bit scattered; her hand slipped when she reached out. Fortunately, Chu Feng anticipated it, grabbing her arm and pulling her up with force.
Suddenly, a violent gust of wind and snow slammed into them, making the entire Shadow Dragon wobble. Xiao Wu, who was still on the ground, was forced to crouch for cover and was instantly covered in thick snow.
Chu Feng reacted swiftly, using his aura to sweep across a one-mile radius and pulling Xiao Wu up.
Once everyone was secure, the Shadow Dragon flapped its wings, let out a roar, and soared into the clouds.
Dawn gradually broke, the previous darkness was dispelled, and sunlight poured down from the sky.
When everyone looked back at Mount Buzhou, the mountain collapsed instantly, falling in all directions toward the surrounding Seventy-two Peaks of Star Dou.
However, it was different from a typical shattered collapse. After falling, some latent energy seemed to quickly reorganize the surrounding terrain, melting Mount Buzhou into this vast nature like snow into water.
This was likely the effect of natural laws within the Dao. When a place of spiritual energy meets its end, it is directly embraced by heaven and earth, becoming ordinary mountains and rivers. However, beneath this ordinariness, there is still a certain chance for opportunities to arise, though that will depend on the creation of heaven and earth—how long or how much is unknown.
"What a pity."
Devil Bear Douluo hadn't gained a single thing from this trip and had inexplicably quit Spirit Hall; his mind was a bit muddled.
Meanwhile, Flame Eagle Douluo had already fallen asleep from exhaustion. Although her presence was somewhat transparent, her previous loyalty to Bibi Dong had been clearly demonstrated.
But Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Xiao Wu weren't as settled; they were looking all around on the dragon's back.
Chu Feng had disappeared again.
In fact, he had gone to the dragon's head. Relying on the colorful clouds and white mist just blooming in the sky, he hid himself well.
He did this to decide on their next destination; floating in the air indefinitely was not a good idea.
[Congratulations to the Host for completing all the final prerequisite tasks for Deification through Mount Buzhou.]
Chu Feng felt no joy at this congratulation. After all, tasks weren't released in advance and relied entirely on his own exploration, which was truly a torment.
Moreover, it was possible the system only remembered to give out the reward after seeing Chu Feng emerge from Mount Buzhou alive.
[Congratulations to the Host for breaking the initial karma set by the Sages. The Great Conflict of Deification is about to descend.]
Chu Feng found this interesting. The appearance of Mount Buzhou on the Douluo Continent must have been because the Sages took an interest in the providence here. The conflict with Tang Hao was a link in that karma. If Tang Hao had won, demons would have brought chaos to the world, giving the Sages a reason to emerge. But unfortunately, Chu Feng had inadvertently broken it, and everything had become uncertain.
[The Host is hereby rewarded with a Dao Arena.]
[The Host is hereby rewarded with one hundred Dao Boys.]
[The Host is hereby rewarded with five-star Daoist mountains and waters.]
[The Host is hereby rewarded with a fully furnished Daoist Temple and courtyard.]
