On the other side, within the Blue Star Academy, a silver-haired middle-aged man asked.
âReporting to the Supreme Elder, Wang Chen has gone to Jiang Cityâs Dragon Family; itâs said that the Dragon Family has produced a genius.â
The one answering the middle-aged man was a middle-aged woman. Upon hearing her words, the brows of the silver-haired man couldnât help but knit together.
âAlthough Zhou Fengâs rise has brought many benefits to us all, both Zhou Feng and Ye Feng have made tremendous contributions to our Human Race. I do not wish for some to become adversaries due to differing alliances.â
âThis is neither beneficial for our Human Race nor for the Academy.â
A hint of elusive light flickered through the eyes of the silver-haired middle-aged man.
âYes, Supreme Elder!â
All the high-ranking members of the Academy present answered in unison, as to what they truly thought, only they themselves knew.
Seeing this, the figure of the silver-haired middle-aged man disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already within an ancient small courtyard.
The very moment the middle-aged man materialized, his eyes slightly narrowed as he gazed at the figure that had already appeared in the courtyard.
âElder Jiu!â
The newcomer was young in appearance, but the aura he carried was extraordinary, having reached the peak of the Ninth Level Martial God and with one foot already stepping into the realm of Sky-breaking.
âWhat brings you here?â
The middle-aged man clearly recognized the other, though his expression was somewhat cold.
âI have come to deliver a message from my master to Elder Jiu.â
âMy master says he hopes that from now on, the Human Race will only remember âZhou Feng.ââ
The words of the young man caused a sharp gleam to pass through the eyes of the middle-aged man, and in an instant, his aura exploded, with his formidable force enveloping the young man. The very space around them emitted a quivering sound.
A terrifying murderous intent surrounded the young man; if it were anyone else, they would have been frightened silly by this killing aura, yet the young man remained extremely calm.
âImpossible!â
âForget about splitting the Human Race; thatâs not going to happen!â
âTell Zhou Feng to focus on his own affairs, and not meddle in needless things.â
âAlthough we favored him initially, it doesnât mean that we would betray the Human Race for his sake.â
âAlso, if thereâs a next time you barge into my private residence uninvited, do not blame me for being heartless!â
A trace of murderous intent crossed Elder Jiu Lingkongâs heart. This Zhou Feng was becoming more and more intolerable. He had already left Earth, yet he still wanted to meddle from afar?
âIs that so?â
âMy master had already anticipated Elder Jiuâs response and asked me to remind Elder Jiu of one thing.â
âYou wouldnât want the Chancellor to know about that incident, would you~â
âI take my leave!â
The young man didnât wait for Jiu Lingkong to react; his figure shattered, revealing that he was merely a clone.
At this moment, upon hearing those words from the other party, Jiu Lingkongâs entire body violently jolted, his eyes intensely narrowed for a moment, and his mind was severely shaken.
That incident⦠if the Holy Institute were to find out about it, then perhaps Zhou Feng and those involved in that incident would be forever infamous throughout the Human Race.
Zhou Feng had grasped that he would not let the matter spread, using it to manipulate him.
After all, they were all in the same boat as Zhou Feng, and they shared both glory and loss.
âDamn it!â
A cold light suddenly appeared in Jiu Lingkongâs eyes, but after a long while, it gradually dissipated.
At the same moment, in Jiang City, a storm was brewing. The fluctuations emanating from the sky above the Long Family had countless powerful beings leaping into the air, all gazing in the direction of the Long Family.
Zhou Wenlong, shrouded in an aura of malevolence, appeared above the Long Familyâs residence, his intent clear without needing words.
This caused all the watching powerhouses to be taken aback.
âItâs true that the Zhou Family is also a big clan in Jiang City, but compared to the Long Family, theyâre quite inferior!â
âIsnât that the truth? Besides, that Zhou Wenlong wasnât that deeply connected to the Saint Lord in the past. He just happened to form a connection because he was the City Lord who sent the Saint Lord to participate in the peak competition. With the rise of the Saint Lord, the Holy Institute gave him a helping hand.â
âBut the Long Family is different. They are servants of the Machine Emperor, one of the three great generals under the command of the God Lord. Not only have they inherited the powerful mechanical strength of the Machine Emperor, but they also possess treasures bestowed by the Machine Emperor. What can the Zhou Family possibly have to compete with the Long Family? They truly overestimate themselves.â
âHmph! I see youâve really been blinded by that Zhou Feng. His achievements are nowhere near as commendable as what the Saint Lord has done in completely resolving the monster beasts and monster races issue. Heâs nothing but someone who has risen to power because of the groundwork laid by predecessors, and you all hype him up as if he were equal to the supreme ruler of the Human Race.â
âSay that again!â
âWhatâs wrong? Saying it again? The so-called God Lord isnât even worthy to carry shoes for the Saint Lord!â
Both groups of powerhouses were brimming with intense auras as they seemed ready to clash with one another.
Even though Zhou Fengâs reputation was resplendent like the midday sun, it did not affect those powerhouses who had witnessed Ye Feng creating miracles along his journey. Ye Fengâs strength had already been deeply etched into the hearts of these powerful beings, leaving an indelible impact on their paths of cultivation.
âHmph! You dare to make a move against my Long Family? Iâll just watch your Zhou Family perish!â
At that moment, the four Heavenly Saint Level Elders of the Long Family saw Zhou Wenlongâs appearance and a cold smirk appeared on their faces.
It was like there were roads to heaven you did not take but paths to hell you insist on breaking into. Initially, they thought if the patriarch of the Zhou Family, Zhou Wenlong, decided to be a shrinking turtle, they would indeed have no way to attack the Zhou Family.
After all, doing something that was detrimental to the unity of the Human Race would be condemned by everyone.
But who would have imagined, a man over three hundred years old could not keep his composure.
It seemed, he truly cherished his direct bloodline!
Itâs just unfortunate that it had been crippled by Jiu!
Thinking this, all four of them had a look of pleasure in their eyes. They blamed it on his ties with Ye Feng!
In an instant, the four elders soared into the sky, and four shining silver lights burst forth from within their bodies. They then donned four glittering suits of armor.
Their imposing auras spread across the sky in that instant, bearing down on Zhou Wenlong with crushing force.
âGood, good, good!â
âWhat an act of audacity!â
âSo be it, today, even if I risk everything, I will take your Long Family down!â
Bloodlust surged in Zhou Wenlongâs eyes. The talent of Zhou Xiaofeng was the most outstanding in the Zhou Family in recent years. Initially, if he could enter the Blue Star Academy, it was highly possible that they would eventually have an Emperor or even a stronger being arise from the Zhou Family.
But this hope was directly destroyed by the Long Family!
How could he not see that the Long Family was deliberately targeting his Zhou Family, or rather, targeting him, Zhou Wenlong?
âGet out of my way!â
The more Zhou Wenlong thought, the angrier he became. Four Imperial Beasts crossed the skies, and the fifth fused with his body, as he charged directly at the four men!
His strength was already at the peak of Level Nine Heavenly Saint Realm, even though the four were Heavenly Saints of the Mecha Stream and had used Super God Transition to multiply the Armor Power of their suits by several times, they were no match for him.
In a single encounter, the sound of bones shattering echoed across the sky, with all four men spitting blood as they fell.
The rage in his heart left Zhou Wenlong with no intention of holding back any longer!
âWhat audacity!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just then, an icy voice rang out from behind Zhou Wenlong, making him break out in goosebumps all over his body.
He had not detected the presence of the newcomer, which meant that the otherâs strength was greater than his!
