"Hurry! Hurry up and release her!"

The Lingxi Palace Master didn't dare disobey and hastily ordered them to release Lan Yueji.

Right now the Lingxi Palace Master regretted it so much his guts were turning green.

He had never imagined that behind Lan Yueji there would actually be such a terrifying powerhouse.

Before long.

Lan Yueji saw Gu Chenfeng, her eyes filled with tears, her heart bursting with joy as she laughed and said, "Ancestor, I knew you would come save me. Ancestor's strength really is overwhelming!"

Gu Chenfeng gently patted Lan Yueji's shoulder and said with a faint smile, "As long as you're fine."

Flame Shadow tilted his head toward Gu Chenfeng and asked with a smile, "Gu Chenfeng, want me to wipe out Lingxi Immortal Palace?"

Those words from Flame Shadow scared the Lingxi Palace Master and the others out of their wits.

With Flame Shadow's terrifying strength, exterminating Lingxi Immortal Palace was as easy as lifting a hand.

"No rush." Gu Chenfeng gave a slight cold smile and said, "There's still one person who hasn't been dealt with."

As he spoke. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Gu Chenfeng stretched out his hand again and grabbed across the air. From within the palace hall suddenly came a terrified voice begging for mercy.

Hearing that familiar voice, Lan Yueji's pretty face was instantly covered in rage.

Lan Yueji said angrily, "Ancestor, it was this bastard who captured your disciple. He absolutely cannot be spared!"

The bastard Lan Yueji spoke of was precisely the Young Master of Lingxi Immortal Palace.

"Don't worry." Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, he wouldn't be able to save him."

Gu Chenfeng gave a fierce yank with his right hand, forcibly dragging the Lingxi Young Master out from the palace hall. His right hand then pressed down, and a terrifying force dragged the Lingxi Young Master and smashed him viciously into the plaza.

"Bang!"

The Lingxi Young Master blasted a huge deep pit into the plaza and was heavily injured on the spot.

Enduring his serious injuries, the Lingxi Young Master hurriedly crawled up, knelt, and kowtowed, begging for mercy, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I know I was wrong, I beg you, spare my life."

Gu Chenfeng looked at Lan Yueji and said with a faint smile, "Go kill him."

"Many thanks, Ancestor!" Lan Yueji clasped her fists in thanks, then urged her Immortal Power and at the same time summoned her Spirit Sword, charging straight toward the Lingxi Young Master.

At this moment.

Gu Chenfeng seemed to sense something and thought to himself, "Lan Yueji has been hiding her Cultivation. Her true Realm has already reached the Early Stage of Immortal King."

Gu Chenfeng was very curious as to why Lan Yueji would hide her Cultivation.

At the same time.

The Lingxi Palace Master's expression changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously at Lan Yueji, "Stop! Don't kill him! Stop right now!"

The Lingxi Young Master cried out in terror and despair, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll kowtow to you..."

"Ssshh!"

Lan Yueji swept her sword across. The Lingxi Young Master's whole body trembled, a spray of fresh blood burst out, and he collapsed immediately afterward.

One sword to the throat.

"No!" The Lingxi Palace Master struggled frantically, roaring in grief and rage, "Jin'Er!"

"Y-Young... Young Master..." The Elders and disciples stared at this scene in utter horror.

"I want you to be utterly annihilated!" Lan Yueji said viciously, channeling Immortal Power into the Spirit Sword, then ruthlessly thrust it into the Lingxi Young Master's chest, shattering his Primordial Spirit.

"Jin'Er!" The Lingxi Palace Master was grief‑stricken to the extreme, yet completely powerless.

Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "Well killed."

The enraged Lingxi Palace Master roared at Gu Chenfeng, "You little brat! Even if I die, I won't let you off!"

Gu Chenfeng glanced at the Lingxi Palace Master and sneered, "If he dared lay a hand on my disciple, he should have thought of the consequences."

Lan Yueji flashed back, respectfully clasped her fists, and said, "Many thanks, Ancestor. In the future I will definitely work hard on my Cultivation and make myself even stronger."

Gu Chenfeng nodded with a smile and said, "With your talent, getting stronger isn't hard."

As his voice fell.

Gu Chenfeng waved his hand, and a Black Spirit Ship appeared out of thin air. He then took Lan Yueji with a flash onto the Spirit Ship.

"Don't leave a single one alive." Gu Chenfeng glanced at Flame Shadow.

"Alright." Flame Shadow grinned, then flashed into the air above the palace halls. His terrifying Immortal Power erupted all at once, and a vast, surging aura swept across the sky.

"It's over!" The Lingxi Palace Master and the Elders fell into utter despair.

"Young Master Flame Shadow, spare us!" The many disciples all kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Rumble!"

"Buzz!"

Flame Shadow directly slammed down a palm. Under the terrified and despairing gazes of everyone in Lingxi Immortal Palace, a massive and terrifying Energy Palm Seal came crashing down savagely, exploding with earth‑shattering force. Space itself shattered, and the surrounding mountain peaks collapsed one after another.

In an instant.

Lingxi Immortal Palace was razed to the ground.

The Lingxi Palace Master, the Elders, and all the disciples were reduced to dust.

The five Immortal Emperor powerhouses of Burning Moon Immortal Hall were all forced back by the terrifying energy shockwaves.

"As expected of Young Master Flame Shadow. His strength is too terrifying!"

"Rumor has it Young Master Flame Shadow's true strength is enough to battle an ordinary Early Stage of Immortal Venerable."

"Good thing we didn't make a move, or we'd be dead for sure."

The five Immortal Emperor powerhouses wore looks of horror and lingering fear, secretly rejoicing that they hadn't attacked.

On the Spirit Ship.

Flame Shadow flashed back and said with a light smile, "All done."

Gu Chenfeng ignored Flame Shadow and instead asked Lan Yueji, "Why did you hide your Cultivation? What did Lingxi Immortal Palace want from you?"

"Hiding my Cultivation?" Flame Shadow was slightly stunned.

At the instant he heard this.

Lan Yueji's pretty face tightened. She immediately dropped to her knees on both legs and said respectfully, "Ancestor, your disciple did not intentionally conceal it. I beg Ancestor's forgiveness."

Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "Don't be nervous, stand up and talk."

"Yes, Ancestor." Lan Yueji answered respectfully.

Lan Yueji slowly got to her feet, but still kept her head lowered, not daring to meet Gu Chenfeng's gaze.

"Ancestor, your disciple originally comes from a great aristocratic clan." Lan Yueji's voice trembled slightly, her eyes revealing pain and reminiscence.

"A great clan?" Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow were both slightly surprised.

Lan Yueji nodded and said, "My original name is Feng Yueji. In the past, my clan was prosperous and powerful. My grandfather said that the Feng Family once produced an Immortal Venerable powerhouse."

"However, for reasons unknown, the clan suddenly suffered a great calamity overnight. Powerful enemies surrounded us, clansmen died and were injured in droves, our vitality was devastated, and we fell into a desperate situation. Now there are still many forces that want to annex the Feng Family."

As she spoke of this, her body trembled slightly, and her hands unconsciously clenched tight.

Steadying the grief in her heart, Feng Yueji continued, "Your disciple heard that the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion was recruiting disciples. To seek a sliver of hope for the clan, I decided to hide my Cultivation, enter the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion, and seek powerful protection and assistance."

"Originally, I wanted to ask Ancestor for help from the very beginning, but once I learned that the Immortal Mansion's strength had greatly declined, I didn't dare bring it up. Later I found out Ancestor's strength is extremely terrifying, and I saw hope again, but I just never had the chance to say it."

Feng Yueji took a deep breath, doing her best to calm herself.

"So that's how it is." Gu Chenfeng frowned slightly, a trace of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Then why did Lingxi Immortal Palace capture you?"

Feng Yueji bit her lip, then said, "Your disciple carries an Ancient Jade Pendant, the clan's heirloom treasure, passed down from that Immortal Venerable ancestor. But somehow, news of it leaked out, and Lingxi Immortal Palace set its sights on this Jade Pendant."
