The scroll emitted a blinding golden light, suspending itself before Ye Feng's face.
Seeing this, the expressions of the other Hall Masters all beca unsettled.
At this mont, they undoubtedly all sensed a whiff of crisis; Ye Feng actually had such a trump card.
The Lord of the Three Halls was in grave danger.
At the sa ti, the Lord of the Three Halls ca to a halt, the effect of the Explosive Elent Pill nearing its end, and he regained so sense of reason, now sensing the scent of death.
A thought of escape suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Run!"
The Lord of the Three Halls, using the last of his Spirit Essence, crushed a Talisman and disappeared without a trace.
The Lord of the Three Halls had fled!
Ye Feng put away the scroll, appearing indifferent.
The Lord of the Three Halls had been seriously injured by him and then had taken an Explosive Elent Pill; even if he managed to escape, he would still find himself in the Outer Battlefield.
Ye Feng had experienced the dangers of the Outer Battlefield, and the Lord of the Three Halls, seriously injured, entering the Outer Battlefield would be on the road to death just the sa.
Ye Feng did not take the running of the Lord of the Three Halls to heart.
Li Benzhong and the others were dumbfounded, the Lord of the Three Halls had actually been defeated, defeated by Ye Feng.
Hiss!
Everyone inhaled sharply, what was Ye Feng's Cultivation and Realm, to have even the Lord of the Three Halls of the Xuanyuan Hall not be his match?
"My Lord, these people took the opportunity to attack you while you were battling with the Lord of the Three Halls, how would you like to handle these people?"
Shadow asked, fists clasped.
"Kill!" Ye Feng was no bleeding heart. He had already given Li Benzhong a chance to live, but it was a pity that the man did not know how to cherish it. There was no other way.
Li Benzhong and his company turned an ashen hue, all feeling an unprecedented sense of fear.
If Ye Feng truly wished to kill them, then they would inevitably have to die.
"Thud!"
Soone was the first to kneel down.
"Captain Ye, we recognize our error. We were blinded by villains and ask for your magnanimity to spare us, Captain. In the future, we will certainly look up to you as our leader, Captain Ye!"
"Thud!"
Knees striking the floor, several Sect mbers knelt before Ye Feng begging for his forgiveness.
"Now you know to beg for rcy, what were you doing earlier?" Shadow, seeing everyone's faces, disdained them and turned his head to glance at Ye Feng, "My Lord, to kill or not to kill?"
"Enough. Li Benzhong is the mastermind behind this incident!"
If he were to truly kill all the Sect mbers, several of the Hall Masters had originally co from the Sect. Although Ye Feng was not afraid, he didn't want to attract too much trouble.
"My Lord, Li Benzhong has escaped!"
Xiao Chuanqi shouted in the crowd at that mont.
Li Benzhong had already fled amidst the chaos at the mont the Lord of the Three Halls was defeated; he knew the tis.
The Lord of the Three Halls was no match for Ye Feng, and moreover, the other Hall Masters clearly did not intend to make a move. If he had stayed, would it be anything but courting death?
It was better to run, better to keep the green hills without worrying about having no firewood.
One day, if he had the chance, he would make Ye Feng pay back double.
"My Lord, should we pursue?"
Xiao Chuanqi could not sit still. Li Benzhong had slipped away right under their noses; he could not swallow this grievance and had to capture Li Benzhong and bring him back.
"Let it be. There will be days ahead to kill him!"
Ye Feng shook his head. As long as Li Benzhong remained in the Outer Battlefield, they would et one day, and with Li Benzhong's power, encountering a powerful monster would an the sa dead end.
Ye Feng also stated his intention to make Li Benzhong's life worse than death.
"As you command, my Lord!"
To Ye Feng's command, Xiao Chuanqi and others dared not disobey; they abhorred Li Benzhong to the core, wishing they could drink his blood and eat his flesh.
That he had fled under their watch not once but twice—it was a hard pill to swallow.
"Get up. If I were my Lord, I'd have you lot quartered long ago!"
Xiao Chuanqi barked furiously at the people kneeling on the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha! Splendid!"
The Hall Master, who had been watching the drama all along, laughed heartily, "After hundreds of years of cultivation, I've never encountered such an interesting young man; lad, I think highly of you!"
The Hall Master admired Ye Feng deeply. Even at his young age, his courage and state of mind surpassed all his peers.
"Hall Master!" Ye Feng turned to the Hall Master with a clasped fist, "Previously, I thank the Hall Master for speaking up for . I will always bear in mind the kindness of the Hall Master!"
Ye Feng was soone who rembered every grudge, but kindness shown to him he repaid twofold.
Earlier, when several Hall Masters wanted to join forces with the Lord of the Three Halls to deal with him, it was the Hall Master who stood up and deterred the other eager Hall Masters.
If the Hall Master had not stepped forward, he would probably have beco a corpse by now.
Even with a trump card, there was no way he could have prevailed against several centuries-old Hall Masters.
"It's nothing!"
The Hall Master smiled and waved his hand, "Little one, the Hall Master feels a connection with you. Today I give you a piece of advice, the path of cultivation is filled with hardships. Rember your original intentions, no matter how great the difficulties or even the risk of falling, face them head-on!"
The Hall Master believed that Ye Feng was very much like him when he was younger. No matter who the opponent was or how strong, he was unafraid.
Ye Feng, facing the Lord of the Three Halls and the other Hall Masters, did not show any fear on his face. This was precisely why the Hall Master admired Ye Feng.
"The words of my senior I will surely engrave in my heart!" Ye Feng replied with a clasped fist.
The expressions of several Hall Masters were sowhat ugly; Ye Feng had actually won the admiration of the Hall Master, and he had spoken earlier stating whoever dared to touch Ye Feng would beco his mortal enemy, endlessly at odds with him.
They were covetous of the Dragon Egg in Ye Feng's hands—that was an unparalleled treasure, and now they were forced to watch helplessly as it slipped away before their eyes.
There was no choice. The Hall Master's strength was unfathomable, his thods reaching the sky. They did not want to be endlessly at odds with the Hall Master over a Secret Treasure.
"All of you, retreat. Xuanyuan Hall has been lively enough today!"
After he spoke, the Hall Master disappeared from everyone's sight, followed by the departure of the other Hall Masters.
The vast hall was left with only Ye Feng and his group of people.
"Let's head back too!"
Ye Feng called out.
He wanted to make another deep journey into the Outer Battlefield, after all, it was a place where countless Secret Treasures were born.
Since he had co this far, he could not miss this opportunity.
"Captain Ye!"
The leader of the Confucian Sect hurriedly ca before Ye Feng, kneeling on one knee and said, "Please, Captain Ye, lead us out of the Outer Battlefield!"
"Please, Captain Ye, lead us out of the Outer Battlefield!"
The other Sect mbers fell to their knees, their voices ringing out like bell and thunder.
None of these Sect mbers were fools; navigating the Outer Battlefield nearly cost them their lives. Had it not been for Ye Feng leading them, could they have reached Xuanyuan Hall? Clearly, they could not have.
Now, Ye Feng was their only chance to walk out alive from here, and they had to seize it.
"Heh!" Ye Feng saw these people's current deanor and sneered, "Now you know to rely on soone nad Ye!"
When they had entered the hall, these people wished nothing more than to kill him, pushing him to the forefront, and now they realized they needed him.
"Captain Ye, we were all blinded by that despicable Li Benzhong, only now have we co to our senses and realized our unforgivable sins. From now on, we will follow Captain Ye's lead!"
The leader of the Confucian Sect said.
"Follow my lead?" Ye Feng laughed, "What if I told you to take your own lives, would you be willing to give them up?"
This....
The crowd from the Sects fell silent; the idea of taking their own lives was impossible.
All they wanted was to walk out alive from here, and Ye Feng was the key to their survival.
"If you don't want to die, then quietly follow behind !"
Ye Feng left those words behind as he walked out of the hall.
"Listen up!" Xiao Chuanqi pointed at the crowd and roared angrily, "If any of you harbor ill intentions towards my master again, I'll make you regret ever coming into this world!"
Having spoken, Xiao Chuanqi followed out.
The people from the Sects looked at Ye Feng and shouted in unison, "We thank Captain Ye very much!"
Shadow hurriedly approached Ye Feng as if he had sothing to say but hesitated.
"Speak your mind!" Ye Feng said indifferently.
With Ye Feng's permission, Shadow took a deep breath and voiced his doubts.
"My lord, why would you keep these people? Have you forgotten how they treated you before?"
Shadow was very puzzled by Ye Feng's actions; it was no different from the tale of the farr and the viper.
These Sect mbers, one by one, harbored ulterior motives. Now they were all trying to ingratiate themselves to Ye Feng, but who knew if they would turn around and bite Ye Feng again.
Ye Feng smiled faintly, aware of what those from the Sects were thinking, "You know the dangers of the Outer Battlefield, right?"
Shadow nodded, indicating "I understand!"
She realized the dangers of the Outer Battlefield, but what did this have to do with Ye Feng bringing those people along? She still had her doubts.
"Shadow, we need to think long-term. Just the few of us crossing the Outer Battlefield would encounter no small trouble," Ye Feng remarked simply and clearly, making Shadow roughly understand his intentions.
"Shadow understands!"
"Keep a close eye on them. If anyone has a change of heart, kill them!"
Ye Feng had given them plenty of chances; it was up to them whether to cherish it or not.
At this very mont, the few Sect mbers who were slowly trailing behind Ye Feng.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Hurry up, didn't you eat?" Xiao Chuanqi bellowed, "Even the dogs I raise don't perform as poorly as you!"
Xiao Chuanqi was disdainful. Ye Feng had just agreed to bring them along, and now they were moving so slowly, as if trying to hold him back.
Accustod to their pride, the people from the Sects felt humiliated and were seething inside.
"Are we truly going to lower ourselves to serve this youngster?"
A leader from one of the Sects said discontentedly.
"Under the eaves, one must bow their head. As long as we can walk out alive from here, we will not let that youngster off. Not only did he keep the treasures for himself, but he also had the nerve to treat us like dogs!"
The leader of the Confucian Sect whispered angrily.
"Indeed, once we return, we will inform the higher-ups of our Sects about the situation in the Outer Battlefield. At that ti, our Sects will unite to deal with Ye Feng. No matter how strong he is, can he overpower the elders in our Sects?"
The people from the Sects were already plotting how to deal with Ye Feng, little did they know that Ye Feng was well aware of their sches.
For now, keeping these people around was of so small use to Ye Feng, so he spared them.
anwhile, in the Outer Battlefield.
A shaky figure was running across the boundless desert.
"Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, it's Li Benzhong here, please wake up!"
After escaping from Xuanyuan Hall, Li Benzhong went in search of the Lord of the Three Halls. After several hours, he finally found him.
At that mont, the Lord of the Three Halls was on his last breath from the backlash of the Explosive Elent Pill, but he was awakened by Li Benzhong.
"My great-grandson!" He called out weakly.
"It's , Great-Grandfather, thank goodness you've awakened!"
"Hurry, take south. I will never let Ye Feng get away with this!"
The dying Lord of the Three Halls hadn't forgotten about Ye Feng.
Li Benzhong, carrying the Lord of the Three Halls on his back, headed straight south, where that side of the Outer Battlefield was territory controlled by the ard forces.
