The Clan Head's Plan
"I understand how hard it is to believe, Clan Head," his voice tense but steady despite the weight of his words.
But she said it herself, and I saw it with my own eyes.
The moment the battle began, it vanished.
None of the elders—no one—saw where it went. It was like it melted into the air. Then, without warning, it struck. Elder Zhao Ling didn't even realize she was being attacked until the strike had already landed."
He clenched his fists.
That was when the talisman barrier activated. It flared just for a breath, taking the full brunt of the attack.
That bought her just enough time to react. She turned and swung on pure instinct."
Shi Tong took a breath, steadying himself.
"I couldn't follow the battle. I only saw Elder Zhao Ling swing her sword the moment the talisman activated and the beast appeared.
But after that, the elders started taking it seriously."
"If it's really that dangerous, Then it needs to be eliminated before it kills anyone else,"
The Clan Head said, his face a mask of grim resolve.
But in his heart, Li Zhen was already planning.
I need to request the Grand Elder's aid
That thing might be troublesome for the rest of us— but against someone at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment? Killing it would be as easy as lifting a finger.
No matter what abilities it possess. It can't surpass the difference of levels.
The Fox's Calculation
The scene shifted
In the city streets, chaos reigned. Screaming civilians surged through the roads, fleeing in terror and panic.
When the elders launched their combined attack earlier, the resulting explosion shook the city like an earthquake.
One of the larger buildings collapsed under the shockwave, crushing several people beneath its rubble.
A fox, small and swift, darted from rooftop to rooftop. Its turquoise eyes suddenly wide with alarm.
Then—it stopped.
The fox's head turned sharply toward the distant battle.
I can't sense their presence anymore… Two of the cultivators—they're gone.
A chill settled in the fox's heart.
To think it could not only survived the relentless attacks of six Foundation Establishment cultivators but managed to kill two of them in an instant!
If the battle continues like this, the one at the mid-stage will be forced to act. And if that happens...
The fox narrowed its eyes.
Leaving now would be stupid.
The Hidden Attacker
Back at the battle, Lizarius clashed with Li Feng Wei, whose flaming blade swung in fierce arcs Lizarius moved like lightning, weaving through the attacks with uncanny precision.
Multiple earth spikes shot out from the ground and flew towards but just wove through them with lightning speed.
Hmm.... Lizarius thought, eyes narrowing. I already killed the one who controls the earth. So why is the ground still attacking me? That means... it's still alive. But where
Lizarius raised his gaze, his glowing golden eyes scanning the sky, but he only saw two elders above. He brought his gaze down, scanning the battlefield, and saw only Li Feng Wei was already charging him, blazing blade already swinging.
Lizarius managed to twisted evading his attack but was caught off guard at that exact moment, glowing Qi swords materialized at his sides.
They struck before he could react
The force of the blow sent Lizarius flying across the battlefield. The swords didn't stop; they followed continue attacking relentlessly as he tumbled through the air.
relentlessly as he tumbled through the air.
He snarled, gritting his jaw against the painful assault
Li Feng Wei quickly moved, appearing beside him in a flash,flaming blade already in motion.
The blade fell
Lizarius was able to react in time, covering himself with his wings as the attack landed. The force sent his body flying back, crashing into the ground
He bounced, dirt and stone flying in all directions, before spreading his wings and digging his claws into the ground, skidding to a halt..
His scales were filled with scratches, but his glowing eyes were still fixed on Li Feng Wei.
Suddenly Lizarius gaze flicker. Hmm, so that's where it is.
The scene cut beneath the earth under Li Feng Wei
Wu Jian, the elder who controlled the earth, moved freely through the underground, his spiritual presence completely masked.
He was positioned directly beneath Li Feng Wei—close to the action, yet unseen
