# Chapter 2407: Stopping Killing with Killing
Divine Wood Valley, hidden within the mountain forests, was like a paradise isolated from the world. Ordinary people could hardly find it, let alone step into Divine Wood Valley to cultivate.
However, at this moment, within Divine Wood Valley, in the place where the Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree was nurtured, many people were cultivating there. They borrowed the power of the ancient tree to comprehend the laws of force, extremely excited.
"Unexpectedly, there is such a good place even in the lower realm. If I had known earlier, I would have descended here long ago and taken this place for myself," a young man said, sensing the rich law force surrounding him, revealing a faint smile. They were a force from the Nine Heavens Celestial Court. Later, when the passage connecting to the lower realm shattered, someone from their force discovered this good place. Immediately, strong experts came to occupy it, allowing the younger generation to cultivate and comprehend here.
"The Nine Heavens are too vast, the Celestial Court is boundless. This lower realm is divided into nine continents, naturally containing many treasure lands. Our Blood Sea Clan finding this place is a stroke of luck," another person responded with a smile. Indeed, their luck was quite good, at least for the cultivation of their younger generation.
"I wonder what would happen if I merged it into my bloodline," a young man said with a smile. Then, he reached out and grabbed, tearing off a branch of the Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree and stuffing it into his mouth, swallowing it whole. A sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Stop right there!" At that moment, a furious shout rang out. A figure descended into the void, staring at him with cold eyes. "The Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree is a rare treasure, extremely hard to find. It can bless future generations. Even if you have it under control, why must you desecrate it like this?"
The young man looked at the old man in the void, a cold light flashing in his eyes, blood-red light shimmering.
"Old bastard, stop spouting nonsense here. Who do you think you are to speak to me like that? Your granddaughter looks quite charming. How about I have a good time with her tonight?" The young man looked at the person in the void with contempt, causing the old man's expression to stiffen, his body trembling with rage.
"Vile scum, vile scum," he cursed inwardly, but dared not speak out. The Blood Sea Clan was a group of extremely terrifying evil cultivators. Their power was vast, with Saint realm experts. After discovering Divine Wood Valley, they immediately sent strong experts to suppress and occupy it, making it a training ground for the younger generation of the Blood Sea Clan. Although they hadn't harmed the people of Divine Wood Valley, the strong experts of Divine Wood Valley were treated like slaves, allowed to do whatever they pleased.
At this moment, within Divine Wood Valley, a young man was strolling. When he arrived here, his brow furrowed slightly. His divine sense enveloped the entire heaven and earth, sensing the anomaly here. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The turmoil of the Nine Heavens had spread so far that even Divine Wood Valley, hidden here, could not escape it.
With a slight movement of his body, Lin Feng stepped out and instantly arrived in the void, at the place where the Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree was nurtured.
As if sensing something, the old man guarding the Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree turned his gaze and landed on Lin Feng. His expression suddenly froze.
"It's him," the old man thought, looking at Lin Feng. This person had left a very deep impression on him back then, because of the uniqueness of that Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree, and also because of those arrogant words: "A hundred years later, I will be king of Qing Xiao."
"Old sir," Lin Feng called out, causing the old man's expression to freeze again. Lin Feng's aura was ordinary, his cultivation level unclear. He addressed him as "old sir," not "senior."
"What is going on here?" Lin Feng asked.
"Who are you?" At this moment, the young man below looked up at Lin Feng in the void and asked coldly. Most of the young people appearing here were at the Martial Emperor realm. After all, the Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree was most effective for Martial Emperor realm experts.
Lin Feng did not look at him, only at the old man.
"Sigh, with the turmoil in the Nine Heavens, Divine Wood Valley could not escape. These people are strong experts from the Blood Sea Clan of the upper realm. After discovering this place, they immediately sent experts down to suppress it and take it for themselves. Anyone who resisted was killed. To protect these Heavenly Marsh Ancient Trees, I had no choice but to humble myself," the old man transmitted his voice to Lin Feng. "You must have come to return the Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree, right? Leave quickly. That Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree, keep it for yourself."
"Blood Sea Clan?" Lin Feng frowned. The forces of the Nine Heavens Celestial Court were endless, countless. Many forces had Saint realm experts sitting in command. No wonder Divine Wood Valley could not withstand them.
"All of you, get out!" At this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed through the void, shaking space and causing heaven and earth to tremble.
The people cultivating here using the Heavenly Marsh Divine Wood looked up, all turning their gazes in the same direction, toward Lin Feng. Many had cold glints in their eyes. This person was too arrogant. Even the old man's expression froze. This young man was a bit too reckless.
"This place is not safe. Leave quickly," the old man transmitted to Lin Feng. Although he had high hopes for Lin Feng's future, Lin Feng's cultivation time was still short. There was no way he could contend with the Blood Sea Clan.
"Are you looking for death?" The young man below Lin Feng swept his gaze over him, threatening coldly.
Lin Feng's cold eyes glanced at him. With a thought, a soft tearing sound rang out. The young man's body dissipated in golden light, as if instantly torn into countless fragments. In an instant, he was killed.
"Hiss..." The crowd gasped, drawing in cold air. This person was too arrogant. But his strength... was very strong.
"Do you all want to die?" Lin Feng shouted coldly. Instantly, the entire heaven and earth seemed to be enveloped by an invisible death force, as if with just a single thought from Lin Feng, this entire region would turn into a dead land.
"Whoosh!" In the distance, a fierce wind howled. Several powerful Emperor realm figures stepped forward, their expressions cold, staring at Lin Feng, releasing killing intent.
"It seems you really are seeking death," Lin Feng said, turning his head. His eyes swept over the approaching figures. Immediately, their bodies stiffened, their entire beings filled with death qi, and they fell toward the ground, perishing.
"This..." The crowd was stunned. The old man was also stunned. Emperor realm figures, killed in an instant.
"In just a few decades, such a change has occurred," Lin Feng sighed inwardly. Killing intent swept through the void, as if the entire heavens were turning into a world of death.
"Old sir, are there any of your people here?" Lin Feng asked the old man. The old man was still in a daze.
"No," he shook his head, looking at Lin Feng, his heart shaken.
"Good. Then, kill!" Lin Feng thought. Those people were all entangled by death, their faces turning ashen, and they fell on the spot.
Seeing this, the old man's heart pounded. So strong. This young man had already grown to this level. What realm was this?
"I myself could not achieve this level," the old man thought to himself. And Lin Feng could do it. This meant that Lin Feng was stronger than him... at a higher realm than him!
Thinking of this, a terrifying wave surged in his heart.
"Are there any of your people over there?" Lin Feng pointed into the distance and asked the old man.
"Yes," the old man immediately responded, afraid that Lin Feng would kill them all with a single thought. Lin Feng's strength was too terrifying.
"Alright," Lin Feng nodded slightly. Then, he waved his hand, and an ancient tree descended from the void. It was precisely that Heavenly Marsh Divine Wood.
"I keep my promise and have come to return the Heavenly Marsh Ancient Tree," Lin Feng said to the old man.
"A hundred years later, I will be king of Qing Xiao. Now, not even a hundred years have passed. It seems you have already become king of Qing Xiao. This is the greatest miracle I have witnessed in my life," the old man took a deep breath and said. "But the Blood Sea Clan also has Saint realm experts. Last time, an ancient Saint came, sweeping through everything. Those who submitted survived, those who opposed were killed. The casualties were heavy."
"In chaotic times, one can only use iron-blooded slaughter, stopping killing with killing," Lin Feng said calmly. But the domineering meaning in his words made the old man's heart tremble. No wonder this person had achieved such accomplishments. His spirit was indeed beyond what he could match.
"In the past, I received your care and obtained the divine wood. Now, I return the divine wood and also help you once. Let's go," Lin Feng said lightly. Then, he followed the old man into the distance. Seeing figures with strong killing intent rushing toward them, Lin Feng thought slightly, and they immediately fell, none able to approach him.
Soon, Lin Feng had cleared out all the Blood Sea Clan people, leaving not a single one behind. The strong experts of the Divine Wood Clan gathered together, looking at Lin Feng, their shock beyond words. Whether Martial Emperor or Emperor realm experts, before this person, they were all so insignificant, not even qualified to make him lift a hand.
"Senior Ox, I still have some things to do. Can you have a few demon Saints guard this place for a while and kill any Blood Sea Clan people who come?" At this moment, Lin Feng directly communicated with Old Ox in the Starry Sky World through his thoughts.
"Alright. What they can do, you can do yourself anyway," Old Ox agreed. After a moment, nine demon Saint figures appeared in this void. They were precisely the nine minor accomplishment demon Saints.
"Boom!" A powerful aura locked onto Lin Feng. It was the demon Saint he had wounded.
Lin Feng glanced at him lightly and smiled. "I know you are not convinced. But guard this place for me for a while. If there is an opportunity, I will set you free."
The few demon Saints' hearts trembled. Set them free?
"Is that true?" a demon Saint asked.
"I am already the master of that place. What I say is naturally true. But before that, I still have use for you," Lin Feng said again. Then, he looked at the old man. "Old sir, they will guard this place and protect it. I will take my leave now."
With that, his figure flickered, and he disappeared, leaving the old man staring blankly after him, his heart still pounding fiercely.
