"Demonic cultivators are different from human cultivators; they prefer solitude and do not permit others to encroach on their territory."
After speaking, Leng Xingzhi held Chu Lingwei's hand and descended into a forest.
"This is the exit from the demon realm."
Leng Xingzhi walked in front of Chu Lingwei, raised his right hand, and quickly formed hand seals. An exit instantly appeared before Chu Lingwei.
Watching Leng Xingzhi's familiar movements, Chu Lingwei became even more curious about his identity. Who could a person so knowledgeable about the demon, ghost, and beast realms be?
"Weiwei, let's go."
Leng Xingzhi led Chu Lingwei towards the exit. Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy struck them. The exit rippled like water and vanished in an instant.
"Who is it?!"
Leng Xingzhi turned around and looked at the ten Supremacy realm powerhouses standing before him. He let out a sarcastic laugh, "None who dare to block my path will live to tell the tale."
The Supremacy realm powerhouses quickly surrounded Leng Xingzhi. A great battle was imminent.
"Senior Brother, they are Supremacy realm powerhouses." Chu Lingwei stood beside her Senior Brother, staring at the people before them. One of them was the person who had rescued that Celestial Transformation realm cultivator last night.
Why did they insist on preventing her from leaving?
"Weiwei, do not worry."
Killing intent welled up in Leng Xingzhi's eyes. He would not let any of them go. "Weiwei, step back. They are mine to deal with."
"Senior Brother, be careful." Chu Lingwei was no match for these people and slowly retreated.
"Heh heh."
At this moment, a chuckle echoed. The Supremacy realm powerhouses parted, creating a path.
"Miss Chu, it has been a long time." Meng Qinghe, clad in blue, appeared before Chu Lingwei.
"Meng Qinghe, why are you here?" Seeing Meng Qinghe, Chu Lingwei's expression darkened. Indeed, only he could command such Supremacy realm magnates.
"Young Master Leng? I didn't expect us to meet so soon." Meng Qinghe looked at Leng Xingzhi with killing intent in his eyes. He had escaped last time; this time, he would not be so lucky.
"Are you seeking death?"
Leng Xingzhi's spiritual sword had already flown into the sky, circling continuously, ready to strike Meng Qinghe at any moment.
"Leng Xingzhi, do you think you can wound me again just because you managed to injure me once?" Meng Qinghe chuckled lightly. The Supremacy realm magnates before him instantly surrounded Leng Xingzhi. "Kill him for me."
Chu Lingwei held her breath for Meng Qinghe, worried that he didn't understand his enemy and was being a little reckless.
At this moment, Leng Xingzhi's anger reached its peak. With a wave of his hand, the spiritual sword in the sky flew towards the magnates before him.
Chu Lingwei felt no collision of spiritual energy. The dozen or so Supremacy realm magnates before them all fell to the ground.
Meng Qinghe's eyes widened, his pupils constricting. How was this possible?
"Leng Xingzhi? How did you do that?" Leng Xingzhi hadn't used any spiritual power. He was merely a Celestial Transformation realm cultivator. Even if he had hidden his cultivation, how could he have struck down a dozen Supremacy realm powerhouses in one blow?
"With just the likes of you, you dare to block my path." Leng Xingzhi slowly closed his right hand. Meng Qinghe felt the air around him distort. His body slowly levitated into the air. What frightened him most was that the spiritual energy within his body was slowly dissipating.
"Leng Xingzhi, who exactly are you?"
Meng Qinghe was greatly alarmed. Everything Leng Xingzhi was displaying was far beyond his cultivation level.
It was impossible for anyone to defeat a dozen Supremacy realm magnates in an instant.
"Chu Lingwei, quickly tell him to stop." Meng Qinghe's eyes were filled with anxiety. It seemed he had been careless today. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Meng Qinghe, you have been acting against me at every turn. I cannot help you." Chu Lingwei shrugged. Meng Qinghe was not a good person; his fate should be decided by her Senior Brother.
"Chu Lingwei, don't you want to know how the Phoenix Clan was annihilated?" Meng Qinghe suddenly activated his natal artifact, and with a "bang," he directly repelled Leng Xingzhi's spiritual power.
The Supremacy realm magnates lying on the ground suddenly attacked Leng Xingzhi in unison.
"Senior Brother, be careful."
Chu Lingwei cried out. These Supremacy realm magnates were severely injured, but a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Their final attack was enough to wound Leng Xingzhi.
"Chu Lingwei, do you trust Leng Xingzhi that much?" Meng Qinghe, completely prostrate on the ground, burst into laughter. "Let me tell you, the Phoenix Clan was annihilated by the Leng family. The Phoenix Clan's sacred tree is now in the possession of the Leng family."
Chu Lingwei was stunned upon hearing Meng Qinghe's words.
Meng Qinghe's laughter echoed endlessly as he disappeared.
Leng Xingzhi's expression turned cold. With a powerful sweep of his arm, the earth shook. The surrounding spiritual energy surged like a flood towards the Supremacy realm magnates.
"Weiwei."
Leng Xingzhi quickly arrived before Chu Lingwei. The demon tribe had already discovered them, and powerful demons were rushing over.
"Senior Brother, don't come over." Chu Lingwei dodged Leng Xingzhi's hand and took a step back, looking at him with disbelief, her eyes filled with inquiry. Was the Phoenix Clan truly destroyed by the Leng family?
"Weiwei, let's leave here first."
A sweet, bloody taste surged into Leng Xingzhi's throat. He had expended too much spiritual power just now. If he were to be surrounded by powerful demons, it would be troublesome.
"Senior Brother, was the Phoenix Clan exterminated by your Leng family?" Chu Lingwei did not want to believe it was true.
"No."
Leng Xingzhi answered decisively. He stepped forward, embraced Chu Lingwei, and vanished from the spot.
"Senior Brother, is what Meng Qinghe said true?"
Chu Lingwei's mind was in a mess. If the matter of the Phoenix Clan truly involved her Senior Brother, she didn't know how she could face Leng Xingzhi.
Leng Xingzhi was silent for a moment, taking Chu Lingwei into his domain.
"Weiwei, Leng family's young master is just one of my identities." Leng Xingzhi's hand never left Chu Lingwei's arm as he explained.
"So, did the Leng family do those things or not?" Chu Lingwei had known for a long time that Leng Xingzhi was not from the Leng family, but her heart still felt uneasy.
"The Phoenix Clan's sacred tree is indeed in the Leng family's possession." Leng Xingzhi answered evasively, sighing softly. "I originally intended to tell you this after you broke through to the Celestial Realm."
Thinking of this, Leng Xingzhi's hand clenched involuntarily.
Meng Qinghe!!!
"The Phoenix Clan's sacred tree is in your Leng family?" Chu Lingwei's heart sank to the bottom. She closed her eyes, wondering how many more secrets her Senior Brother was hiding from her.
"Yes."
"Was the Phoenix Clan truly annihilated?"
The Phoenix Clan had been annihilated thousands of years ago. If her mother was from the Phoenix Clan, it meant that some people had survived.
"Weiwei, the matter of the Phoenix Clan is a long story. You..."
Chu Lingwei looked at Leng Xingzhi. He stood before her, yet she had the feeling that she had never truly understood him.
Though standing so close, he felt so distant.
"Senior Brother, I want to go back." Chu Lingwei interrupted Leng Xingzhi. If he didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't force him.
