Feng Xian clutched the King of Bei Jiang's collar tightly. She didn't know what was happening, or why she couldn't control herself, leading her to kill more and more people.
"Xian'er, don't be afraid..."
"Third Elder, the Second Elder has been killed."
The Third Elder trembled, looking at the messenger and asking, "Are you telling the truth?"
A clansman nodded, "Yes, Third Elder."
The Third Elder's eyes turned red. Of the five elders, only he and the traitorous Fifth remained. Three elders had died, something unprecedented for the Feng Yin clan.
"Heaven intends to destroy my Feng Yin clan..." the Third Elder sighed softly.
"Third... Third Elder, I saw the killer..."
"Who?" the Third Elder asked coldly, looking at the clansman.
The clansman whispered a sentence into the Third Elder's ear. The Third Elder's gaze erupted with fierce light. "Summon the men. Prepare the formation."
Seeing the familiar formation, the Fifth Elder was startled. Only when a great crisis befell the clan was such a formation deployed, indicating the person intended to go down fighting.
"Third Brother, what is this..."
The Fifth Elder looked up and met the Third Elder's fierce gaze. "Xiao Wu, this time I won't give you a chance to escape."
The Fifth Elder trembled. "Third Brother, what are you..."
The Third Elder ignored her, his silence causing the Fifth Elder's heart to sink.
"Mother, are they showing no mercy?" the King of Bei Jiang asked, stepping forward.
The Fifth Elder lowered her eyes. "Zi Jie, it seems a fierce battle is about to commence."
"You? You are no match for Third Brother."
"Still, I cannot stand by and watch Mother get hurt for nothing," the King of Bei Jiang said slowly.
The Fifth Elder was immensely pleased. "Zi Jie, with those words, even if I die, it will be worth it."
"Mother, you won't die. You will live well and enjoy the happiness of your descendants."
The Fifth Elder smiled. "Is that so? Mother will wait..."
"Mother, can you break this formation?" the King of Bei Jiang asked.
The Fifth Elder nodded and shook her head. "Mother will try."
With that, she flew up towards the formation. However, before she could touch it, she was repelled by its power.
She was greatly alarmed. Was it that powerful?
The King of Bei Jiang narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Feng Xian, who was curled up. He walked over and whispered, "Xian'er, what do we do? Third Elder intends to harm the child within your womb..."
Hearing this, Feng Xian looked up, her dazed eyes flashing with fierce determination. "No one will harm my child."
"Third Elder wants to kill your child..."
"No, I will not let him succeed," Feng Xian said, word by word.
"Then will you kill them for me?" the King of Bei Jiang asked slowly.
"Kill them," Feng Xian repeated his words.
The Fifth Elder spat out a mouthful of blood. The formation was extremely vicious; even she could not discern its mysteries.
"Xiao Wu, don't waste your effort. This is the Feng Yin clan, you cannot leave."
"Third Brother, why?" the Fifth Elder asked him, looking up.
He let out a cold laugh. "Xiao Wu, I want to ask you why you killed our Second Elder."
The Fifth Elder trembled. "Killed Second Brother? How could I kill Second Brother?"
"You killed Second Elder to escape with your child. It's not impossible. But Xiao Wu, have you forgotten? Second Elder found you, taught you martial arts. When you were deceived by Xue Wen Jie, it was Second Elder who brought you back. For years, Second Elder cared for you more than he did for us. Yet, you repay his kindness with enmity..."
"Third Brother, how could I possibly kill Second Brother?" To her, Second Brother was like a father and brother. Although Second Brother had gone into seclusion years ago and had not emerged, her memories of him were cherished and vivid.
"There's no point in saying more. Someone saw it with their own eyes. Xiao Wu, you've disappointed me greatly. I will avenge Second Brother," the Third Elder said coldly.
The Fifth Elder's heart sank. She knew her Third Brother kept his word, but she truly hadn't killed Second Brother. Who had killed him?
Suddenly, a brilliant white light emanated outwards. The Fifth Elder looked ahead and saw a figure entangled with the formation.
The figure looked somewhat familiar.
The Third Elder sneered, "I truly didn't expect Feng Xian to possess such formidable skills."
The Fifth Elder peered closer. The person in the formation was Feng Xian!
However, this Feng Xian was somewhat unfamiliar.
Suddenly, several Feng Yin clan members guarding the formation coughed up blood. The Third Elder was shocked. Could this Feng Xian break the formation?
The Third Elder leaped forward towards Feng Xian. "Third Brother, don't hurt her..."
The Fifth Elder followed closely behind.
The Third Elder looked at Feng Xian and said coldly, "Stop immediately, or I will show no mercy."
Feng Xian remained unmoved, continuing to disrupt the formation. The Third Elder, losing patience, attacked Feng Xian.
"Feng Xian, be careful..." the Fifth Elder shouted.
The Third Elder saw Feng Xian turn her head, her eyes filled with frost. She drew her sword and thrust it towards him.
Her speed was so astonishing it made him gasp.
He retreated rapidly, but Feng Xian was faster. She dodged and narrowly avoided his attack, grazing his arm with her sword.
Blood flowed freely.
The Fifth Elder watched, astonished, as the Third Elder was clearly not Feng Xian's match. It was impossible for Feng Xian to be stronger than the Third Elder, yet she was now superior.
After a few exchanges, the Third Elder was covered in wounds. Gritting his teeth, he roared, "How can you cultivate the secret arts?"
Feng Xian remained silent, like a puppet, controlled by unseen forces.
The Third Elder frowned. Suddenly, he felt Feng Xian's aura change. He sensed danger and tried to dodge, but she was already upon him.
The Third Elder looked up and saw it too, exclaiming in shock, "Feng Xian, don't kill him..."
Feng Xian paused slightly, but her sword did not stop.
As the sword was about to pierce the Third Elder's chest, two beams of white light arrived from different directions, deflecting Feng Xian's blade.
"Feng Xian, how dare you try to kill the Third Elder..." Feng Ling roared, launching a palm strike at Feng Xian.
Feng Xian retreated. "Feng Ling, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? I should be asking you what you're doing! Was killing the First Elder not enough? Now you want to kill the Third Elder?"
"Why would I want to kill the Third Elder?" Feng Xian was furious. How could Feng Ling accuse her so falsely?
Feng Ling sneered, "Stubborn until you see the truth. Everyone here saw it. They saw you trying to kill the Third Elder."
