Chapter 463: Murderous Intent Surges to the Heavens

Seeing this scene, He He Qi Feng immediately understood.

This woman in the Daoist robe knew Lu Ran, and their relationship was far from ordinary!

If one were to personify the Zhan Ye Dao, then in He He Qi Feng's heart, Zhan Ye was undoubtedly a cold and aloof male god!

Now, Zhan Ye had actually taken the initiative to lend a hand?

Even willingly stuffing the hilt into the white-robed woman's hand?

What more needed to be said?

He He Qi Feng's heart stirred greatly.

Ever since meeting Lu Ran, it had always been him taking care of her, returning the magical artifact Wind Barrier Pearl, and intending to return the divine weapon embryo, the Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff.

In front of Lu Ran, He He Qi Feng had always been slightly inferior in momentum.

Today was precisely the time to repay the favor!

"Everyone, stop!" He He Qi Feng shouted sternly, striding forward.

Below the small hill, trees were snapped and toppled, fire continued to spread, and the battlefield was a mess.

Sniff~

A middle-aged man, currently in an invisible state, twitched the tip of his nose, striving to smell something.

His expression was not pleasant; he realized that many newcomers had arrived!

And when the man saw the tall figure atop the small hill, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Isn't this Hall Master He from Wuji Peak?

"He He Qi Feng?" Si Si Xianxian likewise looked astonished.

She had been searching for Lu Ran, yet unexpectedly, she saw a very familiar figure.

As the second greatest genius of Great Xia, he was naturally a household name.

Looking down upon the battlefield, He He Qi Feng proclaimed loudly, "I am He He Qi Feng of Wuji Peak; all you believers of Greedy Wolf, come out and meet me."

The fire in the forest continued to spread; only the sound of trees crackling as they burned could be heard, with no human voice responding.

He He Qi Feng's face darkened: "I'll say it again: come out."

Though she was only in her early twenties, this air of authority and majesty was truly jaw-dropping.

"Hall Master He, long time no see," finally, a male voice came.

He He Qi Feng turned to look, seeing a man who appeared to be in his early forties, wearing grass clothes and straw sandals, with extremely messy hair.

Those fierce and sharp eyes, along with an aura thick with ruthlessness, made one's heart tremble with fear!

Four words: Eagle-eyed and Wolf-glanced!

Dai Dai Tianming of Hidden Wolf Forest?

He He Qi Feng spoke: "So it is the people of Hidden Wolf Forest."

Dai Dai Tianming's sharp gaze fell upon the divine weapon in Si Si Xianxian's hand: "Congratulations, Hall Master He, on capturing a divine weapon."

He He Qi Feng snorted coldly: "Do you think this Hall Master is like you wolves with beastly hearts?"

Dai Dai Tianming was not angered, instead looking at He He Qi Feng with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Hall Master He comes from a prestigious orthodox sect, walks upright and sits straight; Dai admires you.

Judging by this, does Hall Master He intend to personally slay the believers of Divine Lie Tian to eliminate harm for the people?"

Si Si Xianxian immediately became displeased!

She raised her hammer, pointing remotely at Dai Dai Tianming: "You're the disaster! You murderer!"

The more Si Si Xianxian cursed, the angrier she became.

This group of Qun Jiang Jing Greedy Wolf disciples was simply a band of cruel and vicious criminals!

What defines a great expert?

Look at Great Xia; which Jiang Jing great expert does not protect the human race and safeguard a region of heaven and earth?

It is because they are revered that they are honored as great experts!

But here...

Identity as kin, or even as a fellow citizen of Great Xia, was useless; this group of Qun Jiang Jing Greedy Wolf believers was determined to kill.

This completely overturned Si Si Xianxian's understanding.

"Heh." Dai Dai Tianming let out a cold laugh.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Si Si Xianxian contained not just ruthlessness.

Hidden beneath his pupils was also a trace of greed.

It was undeniable that Si Si Xianxian, with her fair skin and beautiful appearance, was indeed a peerless beauty of the mortal world.

Her beauty was flamboyant.

"This person is mine," He He Qi Feng said, looking down from above.

Dai Dai Tianming looked up at He He Qi Feng from afar: "Hall Master He! Eliminating harm can be done by anyone, but as for the spoils of war..."

He He Qi Feng frowned slightly.

Dai Dai Tianming still wore that insincere smile: "Brothers have been hunting this disaster for so long; it was quite perilous, perhaps one hammer strike would have smashed us to death on the spot.

The brothers have merit, and they also have endured hardship.

Her Black Obsidian Hammer, along with her clothes and shoes..."

Within this Holy Lingshan Realm, exquisite clothing from the mortal world truly counted as a resource.

"Get the hell away! You shameless bastard!" Si Si Xianxian's beautiful eyes blazed with fire; she was nearly exploding with rage.

She swung the stone hammer, hurling it fiercely at Dai Dai Tianming.

In an instant, a series of burning hammer shadows were flung outward.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Boom—rumble—"

The great earth trembled, and flames spread everywhere.

Every hammer shadow that smashed out created a huge pit, sending stone and soil flying and dust billowing in all directions.

Dai Dai Tianming immediately entered his invisible state.

Greedy Wolf Divine Art: Wolf Concealment!

His eyes were sinister and ruthless; while dodging at high speed, he did not mind exposing his position, and said in a gloomy voice, "You still dare to resist?"

"Then I, Dai, will clean up this scourge on behalf of He He Tangzhu!"

"Die!" Without Si Si Xianxian slammed her hammer down fiercely, and a fierce wave of fire surged forward.

"Whoosh!!"

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

A massive golden palm rapidly materialized in the sky.

Wu Seng Shen Fa: Great Jin Tianseng Palm!

Dai Dai Tianming's expression changed abruptly, and the seven or eight Greedy Wolf disciples hidden everywhere immediately fled, escaping the coverage of the giant palm.

Without Si Si Xianxian also narrowed her beautiful eyes; under the terrifying pressure, she became somewhat more clear-headed.

She looked up, subconsciously stepping back, and then felt a surge of joy in her heart.

The sky-shielding giant palm had not covered the area above her head!

"Boom—rumble!!"

The Great Jin Tianseng Palm crashed down with a roar, and a deep pit instantly formed.

The great earth trembled, and large patches of trees were crushed to pieces by force.

Golden waves spread in all directions, extinguishing much of the forest fire.

"He He Tangzhu, what is your intention?" A gloomy voice came from far away.

He Qi slowly withdrew his palm and stood with his hands behind his back.

Dai Dai Tianming revealed his true form, standing at the other end of the deep palm-print pit, suppressing the anger in his heart: "Is your sect not a famous orthodox sect? When Peak Master Tu succeeded to the position back then, he even established sect rules!"

"Disciples within the sect must not bully the weak with strength, and even less must they kill without cause!"

"Kill without cause?" Yin Yin Tianlong could not hold back, his face flushed with anger, "Have you taken too few lives?"

"Killing you ten times over would not be enough!"

Dai Dai Tianming spoke loudly, his words laced with barbs: "Young man, the rules set by your own Wuji Peak dictate that past offenses are not pursued; have you forgotten the sect rules?"

There was actually nothing wrong with this statement.

Not pursuing past offenses was not only directed at outsiders but also served to appease their own people.

Otherwise, Wuji Peak would have to purge its own interior first, and I'm afraid few living souls would remain.

From another perspective, Wuji Peak's goal was to seek change.

If they actively pursued accountability, and everyone in Wuji Peak killed whoever they saw, then what change would there be?

Therefore, it was not just about not pursuing past offenses!

The people of Wuji Peak must try their best not to conflict with anyone.

Dai Dai Tianming questioned loudly: "Today, I simply wish to eradicate a scourge; what fault is there in that?"

"If this palm strike by He He Tangzhu against my Hidden Wolf Forest reaches the ears of Peak Master Tu, I fear you will be in serious trouble!"

He Qi's face was grim as he spoke word by word: "I am protecting this person; she belongs to me now. Did you understand this time?"

"Ah?" Dai Dai Tianming was truly stunned.

Disciples of Divine Lie Tian deserve to be killed by everyone.

This was the consensus of the Holy Lingshan Realm!

Even a sect like Wuji Peak, upon encountering a believer of Divine Lie Tian, should act decisively based on the concept of "eliminating harm for the people"!

Dai Dai Tianming had always believed that He Qi wanted to capture this newly arrived disciple of Divine Lie Tian to inquire about news from the mortal world or something similar.

He never expected that He Qi actually intended to keep this disciple of Divine Lie Tian?

Had He Qi gone mad?

"Hehe." Dai Dai Tianming suddenly laughed.

This time it was not a smile that did not reach the eyes, but a sneer.

Looking at the high-and-mighty He Qi, he felt that this inexperienced young girl was arrogant to the extreme!

Did she really think that just because she was a great genius of Great Xia, disciples of Divine Lie Tian would bow their heads and submit loyally to her?

Fool!

Believers of other gods might also raise their butcher knives against their own kin, but the primary task of these believers is at least to collect Holy Spirit Qi!

What about believers of Divine Lie Tian?

As long as you live long enough in the Holy Spirit Mountains, you will know one thing:

The primary task of disciples of Divine Lie Tian is to kill people!

They are a group of thoroughgoing butchers; they are not here to collect Holy Spirit Qi, but to collect human lives!

Of course, the radiant Lord God would not speak so bluntly.

It is only that before the believers of Divine Lie Tian arrive in Dao Ci Immortal Jie, the Lord God will specially send down a voice transmission, giving the believers a single sentence:

"Follow your true heart!"

Here comes the problem!

For the disciples of Divine Lie Tian, what does "follow your true heart" mean?

Does it not mean letting their irritable natures run wild, going completely mad, and killing the heavens, killing the earth, and killing everything?

"He Tangzhu Dai, are you mocking me?" He Qi asked in a heavy voice.

"I wouldn't dare!" Dai Dai Tianming immediately suppressed his smile, clasped his fists, and bowed. "I, Dai, am merely admiring He Tangzhu He's boldness!

Since He Tangzhu He is determined to keep this person, I shall gift him to you.

I hope He Tangzhu He achieves great success soon!"

Dai Dai Tianming looked utterly sincere in his admiration, yet his heart was filled with mockery.

I'd like to see when you get blown up by those Divine Lie Tian believers!

"Sky Wolf Hall!" Dai Dai Tianming waved his hand. "Let's go!"

"He Tangzhu!" Though no one seemed to be beside him, a slightly urgent voice rang out.

"What is it?" Dai Dai Tianming frowned slightly.

"Someone is coming from behind!"

"Who?" Dai Dai Tianming immediately turned around and gazed into the mountain forest.

"I don't know who they are! There are five of them, but the brothers sensed six auras; there must be one more hidden in the woods."

Dai Dai Tianming's face turned grim.

He could already see figures rushing toward them from the distant forest!

The leader wore a straw-leaf conical hat and a wide rain cape, the brim obscuring the upper half of his face.

Judging by his chin, this should be a young man?

Killing intent surged from him, completely unrestrained!

Behind the youth stood four men and women similarly clad in green rain capes and bamboo-leaf hats, three of whom exuded extremely formidable pressure!

Terrifying oppressive force blanketed the sky and earth, crushing down upon them.

Are these people at the Sea Realm?!

"Gulp." Dai Dai Tianming swallowed hard.

Looking at this mysterious organization dressed uniformly, even an idiot would realize these visitors meant no good!

"I am Dai Dai Tianming, He Tangzhu of the Sky Wolf Hall within the Hidden Wolf Forest. We have not met before," Dai Dai Tianming immediately clasped his fists and shouted loudly. "With such an aggressive approach from you esteemed experts, could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" The leading youth lifted the brim of his hat slightly.

Killing intent filled those icy-cold pupils!

"Lu Ran?!" On the other side of the massive palm crater, Si Si Xianxian widened her eyes.

Even though she held the Zhan Ye Dao in her hand, upon seeing the figure who had vanished long ago without a trace, she still felt as if she were living in a dream.

Dai Dai Tianming's expression changed drastically!

Hearing the excited cry from the female disciple of Divine Lie Tian, Dai Dai Tianming's heart turned ice cold!

Damn it!

I originally planned to kill someone, seize the Black Obsidian Hammer, and strip off a few items of clothing and shoes.

As a result, I've kicked a steel plate!

What exactly is that background of that white-robed woman?

She is clearly a Divine Lie Tian believer whom everyone shouts at and wishes to kill quickly, so why do so many people protect her?

First, the crowd from Martial Extreme Peak intervened, and now this group of mysterious people in conical hats and rain capes has arrived!

Among them, there are at least three great experts at the Sea Realm!

That terrifying momentum, that invisible yet truly existing oppressive force, made one's heart pound with fear just from looking at them from afar!

"Fuck!"

Dai Dai Tianming cursed foully in his heart, his face growing ever more pale.

Martial Extreme Peak exercises self-restraint and prides itself on being a righteous sect; He He Qi Feng must act according to sect rules.

But this mysterious organization before him—

Especially that leading youth, whose killing intent reaches the heavens!
