Chapter 113

The bright sun hung in the sky, and a figure blocked its scorching rays.

With a single step, he actually stepped into the mountain.

His expression was majestic, his gaze deep, as if he could perceive everything in the world.

The aura radiating from his body suppressed the sword intent within the valley, forcing it to retreat.

And the moment this person appeared, Lin Feng felt an indescribable pressure.

"Clan Leader Lin, you have guarded this place for two months; do you have a way to break this barrier?"

The newcomer wore a smile; as soon as he spoke, he made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Lin Feng was slightly stunned and turned to look.

That person had a handsome appearance, wearing a mysterious black long robe inlaid with gold edges, and his chest had fine, intricate patterns that looked extremely exquisite.

As he walked over, the surrounding Spirit Qi seemed to be attracted, surging toward him.

"Dao Combination Realm... Ninth Layer!"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes; the person in front of him was so strong!

"Are you from the Lou Family?" Lin Feng asked coldly.

If he were truly from the Lou Family, then destroying the Lou Family would be empty talk; it would be impossible to achieve.

Lin Feng did not yet have the strength to deal with a Ninth Layer Dao Combination Realm expert.

"I am the Governor of Leiling Province, Li Zhangxiao," the newcomer laughed loudly.

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Feng revealed a look of surprise.

He asked suspiciously, "I didn't expect that the affairs of my Lin Family could actually attract the Governor; it is truly surprising."

This Governor of Leiling Province had always been elusive.

Even the Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects found it difficult to see him.

This Governor, who managed the vast Leiling Province, was the strongest person in this land, bar none.

The Four Great Sects, the Three Great Aristocratic Families, nearly a hundred cities, and countless small families all had to obey the orders of this Governor.

Today, he had come.

"As for this Lou Family, I have long heard of them, and I have long wanted to find trouble for them."

Li Zhangxiao smiled faintly and walked slowly toward the barrier.

"The first time I came, I was also blocked by this barrier; the Lou Family, this so-called ancient aristocratic family, has always liked to hide away."

At this point, Lin Feng became curious.

A State Governor usually needed to maintain the harmony within the province; he would not care about small squabbles.

But if it truly hurt the foundation and led to a major fight, Li Zhangxiao, as Governor, would definitely have to stop it.

After all, Leiling Province was already weak in strength and needed peace and stability, not endless fighting.

But now, Li Zhangxiao seemed to be intentionally targeting the Lou Family.

This was somewhat intriguing.

"What? Does Clan Leader Lin have any questions for me?"

Although Li Zhangxiao's tone was calm, the majesty contained within it was unquestionable.

Lin Feng's gaze was like a torch, staring straight at the renowned Governor Li Zhangxiao, and he asked calmly, "Governor, I want to know, why are you helping me?"

The Lou Family was an ancient aristocratic family with a deep foundation, and perhaps there was unknown power supporting them from behind.

As a Governor, Li Zhangxiao's intervention seemed very strange.

Hearing this, Li Zhangxiao curled his lips into a meaningful smile and said, "How are you so sure that I am helping you? Instead of coming to mediate?"

Lin Feng's eyes were deep, and he looked straight at Li Zhangxiao, saying, "You said you wanted to find trouble for the Lou Family."

"To be able to make the Governor find trouble for the Lou Family, it seems the Lou Family has committed no small offense."

Hearing this, Li Zhangxiao smiled faintly and reached out his hand; in his hand, a Blood Demon Stone actually appeared.

Lin Feng's pupils shrank, his expression strange.

"Do you know what this is?"

"A Blood Demon Stone," Lin Feng replied.

Li Zhangxiao nodded slightly and continued, "The Blood Demon Stone originates from the Blood Demon Palace; although the Daqian Dynasty has not explicitly banned it, it does not allow various forces to possess this item."

"If this item is used by evil people, it can cultivate Blood Demons and harm a region."

"And nourishing a Blood Demon Stone requires living beings as sacrifices; its cruelty is hair-raising."

Hearing this, Lin Feng's expression changed suddenly.

He thought of the Spirit Medicine Sect in the Northern Refusal Province where Jiang Xiaoxue was; the Spirit Medicine Sect was destroyed because of this Blood Demon Stone.

No wonder Jiang Xiaoxue was terrified when she saw this item; it turned out it had such a function.

"Years ago, the Lou Family destroyed a sect, claiming to the outside world that the sect had offended them, but in reality, they used this as an excuse to carry out a tragic sacrifice. Not one of the thousands of people in that sect was spared."

Speaking of this, a trace of determination flashed in Li Zhangxiao's eyes.

"The events of that year were suppressed by me to avoid causing panic. But the actions of the Lou Family have already touched my bottom line."

As the Governor of Leiling Province, he had the responsibility to protect every living being on this land from evil harm.

However, the actions of the Lou Family had already made Li Zhangxiao dissatisfied.

This was the reason why Li Zhangxiao wanted to take action against the Lou Family.

But for a Governor to take action casually, he feared it would cause panic among various forces, and he was dealing with an ancient aristocratic family.

It just so happened that this time, the Lin Family took the lead, so Li Zhangxiao also had an opportunity to take action.

Lin Feng was slightly surprised after hearing this.

He had never thought that such a shocking secret was hidden behind the Lou Family.

"Governor, then since you have come, you must have a way to break the Niuniu Grand Array, right?" Lin Feng laughed.

Li Zhangxiao smiled slightly and said confidently, "Although the Niuniu Grand Array is a Five-Star strange array, it is not unsolvable."

"I have been researching a way to break it for these years; although I have not fully mastered it, I have some certainty."

"Today, I came for this."

After speaking, Li Zhangxiao's figure shook, and the momentum around his body climbed sharply, as if resonating with heaven and earth.

He walked slowly toward the barrier that blocked the Lin Family, every step appearing exceptionally heavy.

"Clan Leader Lin, I can only help you break the array, but eradicating the Lou Family still depends on you."

Li Zhangxiao looked back at Lin Feng and asked, "Can you do it?"

These words carried deep majesty, as if warning of something.

Lin Feng nodded and took a few steps back, his gaze following Li Zhangxiao's figure closely.

Seeing this, Li Zhangxiao quickly formed seals with both hands, chanting words in his mouth.

In an instant, mysterious runes leaped from his fingertips, turning into brilliant light that shot straight at the barrier.

As the runes continued to stack, the barrier began to tremble slightly, as if bearing immense pressure.

Just at this moment, a surge of Spirit Qi fluctuation suddenly surged from inside the barrier.

"Not good, someone is breaking the array!"

"Quick, go invite the Clan Leader and the Elder!"

"If they don't come out of seclusion, our Lou Family is truly finished!"

The Lou Family members sensed the attack from the outside and immediately kept strengthening their defense.

Li Zhangxiao frowned, but then relaxed, his lips curling into a sneer: "Playing these little tricks in front of me, the Governor, is probably not enough!"

As his voice fell, those runes seemed to be activated, erupting with blinding light.

The runes bombarded the barrier, followed by a deafening roar.

Then, that seemingly indestructible barrier actually cracked open a gap under Lin Feng's gaze...
