# Chapter 736: A Night of Bloodshed
Moreover, for him now, the powerful demon sword was a burden, and the Demon Sealing Stele could only be used to seal this burden. If his strength were great, both the demon sword and the Demon Sealing Stele could serve him.
Everything was measured by strength.
"Lin Feng," Tang Youyou called out to him. Lin Feng turned his gaze. Because of the demon sword, a cold aura still emanated from his body. His eyes were cold, with cold light flickering. However, the demonic aura had been suppressed. At least his cold eyes were clear. Seeing these eyes, although there was some concern, Tang Youyou's heart was completely at ease.
Lin Feng had finally regained his senses. What a close call—he had nearly fallen into demonhood and had also experienced a life-and-death crisis.
"Youyou, thank you," Lin Feng nodded to Tang Youyou.
Shaking her head, Tang Youyou brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, as if to completely cast aside the remaining tension. At this moment, she had a unique kind of beauty.
"What are your plans now? Return to the Snow Moon Kingdom?" Tang Youyou asked Lin Feng.
"No," Lin Feng shook his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "Those people think I've fallen into demonhood. They might let me fend for myself. And because the time to enter the secret realm is limited, they won't allow Duan Wudao and Duan Wuya to return to Snow Moon at this critical juncture. They'll definitely have them go into seclusion to train and continue strengthening themselves, preparing to enter the secret realm. If I kill them inside the secret realm, they'll never return to the Snow Moon Kingdom."
Now, Duan Wudao was a member of the Jade Heaven Royal Clan, and Duan Wuya was a member of the East Sea Dragon Palace. Both had powerful backgrounds. Having been driven away after he fell into the demonic path, they were certainly unwilling to accept it and wanted to reclaim everything that was theirs. All of this would be postponed until after they emerged from the secret realm.
Tang Youyou nodded slightly. Lin Feng's analysis was correct. The East Sea Dragon Palace and the Jade Heaven Royal Clan were involved in the Snow Moon Kingdom's affairs only for Duan Wudao and Duan Wuya to enter the secret realm. Now, to them, the secret realm was more important than anything else, and everything else would be set aside.
"I'll go with you," Tang Youyou said. Lin Feng glanced at her and nodded slightly, then added, "Before that, I need to go to the Snow Domain Mysterious City first."
"To the Mysterious City?" Tang Youyou's eyes widened. Why was Lin Feng going to the Mysterious City again? That was the territory of the Divine Palace. Now, she didn't know what attitude Lin Feng would take toward the Divine Palace—would he submit or ignore them?
As if knowing what Tang Youyou was thinking, Lin Feng said to her, "This time when I enter the secret realm, I won't represent the Divine Palace. Everything is for myself. If I truly have to represent a force, I would rather choose the Nine Heavens Sword Sect or the Fengdu Demon Sect."
Lin Feng had always been grateful. For a drop of kindness, he would repay it with a gushing spring. However, the Divine Palace's actions this time made him furious from the bottom of his heart and also made him see through the word "profit" more clearly. His heart had become harder and colder than before.
Entering the secret realm, not for any force, but only for himself, to become stronger.
"Then why are you going to the Mysterious City?" Tang Youyou asked, puzzled.
"The Taishu Clan," Lin Feng spat out a cold voice. Then, his robe fluttered as he stepped through the air, rolling toward the distant direction. "If the Taishu Clan is not destroyed, my heart will not be at ease."
A voice filled with cold air drifted through the void, chilling Tang Youyou's heart. The Taishu Clan was finished.
The head of the Taishu Clan, Taishu Kong, had participated in this bloody incident in Snow Moon. Although he had been killed by Lin Feng, Lin Feng would not let the Taishu Clan go. The demonic intent had not completely faded. Having experienced that disaster and seeing Meng Qing beaten back into her demon form, Lin Feng's heart was very, very cold. Even if he didn't fall into demonhood, it was still cold!
Xue Linglong lay quietly on Lin Feng's shoulder, squeezing into his embrace. A smile appeared in her watery eyes. She was naturally happy that Lin Feng could suppress the demon sword so quickly and free himself from the demonic path.
...
The Snow Domain Mysterious City was shrouded in a hazy mist, even appearing indistinct, as if it might disappear at any moment. It was very eerie.
Outside the Mysterious City, a black demon beast came howling through the air, carrying two figures—a young man and a young woman.
The man was draped in a black robe, with an extraordinary bearing. However, he seemed too cold. His icy eyes seemed to freeze anyone who looked at him.
The woman was exceptionally beautiful, with a touch of elegance and nobility, clearly born into an extraordinary family.
Moreover, in the cold young man's arms, there was an extremely beautiful little demon, pure white all over, like a fox demon, but much more beautiful than a fox. Its beautiful eyes even held a hint of ethereal spirit.
"You can go back." Lin Feng stepped down from the demon beast, sending it back to the mountains and forests. Then, he and Tang Youyou landed gracefully and stepped into the Snow Domain Mysterious City.
The Snow Domain Grand Competition had long since ended, and the entire Mysterious City had lost its former vitality, carrying a quiet atmosphere.
This vast and quiet city might not yet realize that today, the Taishu Clan, one of the four great families of the Snow Domain Mysterious City, would be erased from the Mysterious City.
The night was cool as water, and the evening breeze carried a hint of coolness. But to the people of the Taishu Clan, this evening wind felt especially cold.
Recently, news had come that the head of the Taishu Clan, Taishu Kong, had died in a vassal kingdom, the Snow Moon Kingdom, killed by their enemy Lin Feng. This news shook the entire Taishu Clan. If it were true, their clan would face the worst possible situation.
With their only Heavenly Martial Realm expert dead, one could imagine what situation the Taishu Clan would face. The other three great powers of the Snow Domain Mysterious City would no longer tolerate their dominance over one side of the Mysterious City. They would take the opportunity to swallow them up. Countless large and small forces in the Mysterious City would also act according to the situation, devouring everything the clan had.
This devastating news had driven almost everyone in the Taishu Clan to madness. Even in the cold night, many of the clan's high-ranking members were gathered in the Council Hall, discussing what the clan should do next.
They didn't yet know that a demon-like figure had quietly infiltrated their clan, silently hunting its prey.
Sword energy bloomed silently, making only the faintest hissing sound in the night sky. But wherever the sword passed, someone would die. Soon, the surroundings of the Taishu Clan were shrouded in a thick bloody aura.
In the darkness, a patrol team walked along, their noses twitching as if they smelled something.
But then, they saw a black shadow appear before them, like a shade, appearing silently.
The black shadow held a blood-colored sword in its hand. On the eerie blood sword, drops of blood were dripping down.
Opening their mouths, they were about to shout, but a flash of blood light swept over, instantly engulfing them. A soaring blood light burst forth, surging into the blood sword. All were wiped out in one strike.
The black demonic shadow trembled, then disappeared without a trace in an instant. A powerful consciousness enveloped everything around. The slaughter proceeded methodically.
The lamplight in the Council Hall was somewhat dim. A gust of wind blew in, making them shiver. Why was this wind so cold? And in the wind, there seemed to be a trace of bloody aura.
The crowd continued discussing their plans. But at that moment, the person sitting in the lead suddenly focused his gaze and stood up, saying, "Something's wrong. Someone's here."
As his words fell, the crowd's consciousness also swept out of the Council Hall. Immediately, a powerful bloody aura rushed toward them, startling them until their faces lost all color. Such a terrifying bloody aura.
"Tap, tap, tap..." Soft footsteps slowly echoed, like the death knell. Slowly, a black demonic shadow appeared at the entrance of the Council Hall, then slowly stepped inside.
This demonic shadow was so black, so cold. In its hand, it held a sword—a blood-dripping blood sword.
"Lin Feng!" The crowd was struck as if by a heavy blow, their bodies trembling violently. Of course, they recognized Lin Feng. In the Snow Domain Grand Competition, Lin Feng had won first place, witnessed by everyone. They, too, had been there.
They also knew that the head of their clan, Taishu Kong, had gone to the Snow Moon Kingdom to kill Lin Feng and had never returned. But now, Lin Feng had appeared here.
A shadow of death enveloped everyone.
Lifting his head, the light in those icy eyes was like blood, so cold that it made people tremble.
His palm trembled slightly, and terrifying sword energy raged. Blood light bloomed in this Council Hall. Tonight was destined to be a night of bloodshed...
