Chapter 776: Civil War

"Hmph, I knew that some people joined our Heavenly Lake with ulterior motives and ill intentions. They've only just entered the secret realm, and already their true colors are exposed." The person from Heavenly Pivot Peak who had nearly blinded Lin Feng's eyes said coldly, "I think you joined Heavenly Lake just to use it as a way to sneak into this secret realm and seize treasures. You've never considered yourself a member of Heavenly Lake."

"That's right, Yu Tianji. Since we've entered the secret realm, we should join forces to fight against external enemies. That was also the Venerable elder's instruction before we left. All Heavenly Lake disciples remember it well. But it seems someone wants to destroy the unity of our Heavenly Lake. I think we should kill these people of unknown origin on the spot, so they don't ruin Heavenly Lake's great plans."

Someone suggested, his voice carrying a hint of murderous intent, wanting to kill Lin Feng and his group.

The other people from Heavenly Pivot Peak frowned slightly. These people from Heavenly Pivot Peak were clearly using this opportunity to eliminate Lin Feng and the others. If Lin Feng and his group were killed, they would probably have no status either.

"Full of nonsense, stinking to high heaven." Huangfu Long glared at the Heavenly Pivot Peak crowd and shouted, "You people are shameless. You ambushed us in the tunnel, trying to kill us. We haven't settled accounts with you yet, and you have the nerve to say we're ignoring the elder's instructions."

"You're full of shit. We respectfully follow the Venerable elder's teachings. When did we ever ambush you? We would never do something as despicable as ambushing. If you want to leave, just say so directly. Why make up so many excuses?" That person said again, looking at the crowd, "Everyone has seen it, right? If we don't kill these people now, they'll be a disaster in the future."

Huangfu Long was so angry his body heaved. His eyes, as big as bronze bells, stared at the other party, his voice like thunder: "A bunch of bastards, twisting black and white. To be with scum like you is a disgrace."

"Is this your true colors showing?" the other party sneered.

"I can't be bothered to waste words with you." Huangfu Long's body surged with terrifying power, a powerful force seemingly from ancient times spreading out.

"Look, everyone. Who is ignoring the Venerable's instructions and trying to attack us? If you truly want Heavenly Lake to revive and seize the precious treasures, you must first eliminate the internal threat and kill these people." That person's voice was agitated, as if he was thinking only of Heavenly Lake's welfare, righteous and awe-inspiring.

Ling Xue watched all this happen, silent, as if it had nothing to do with him. His gaze calmly rested on Lin Feng and the others.

"If I don't kill them, I'm not the Great Pest." Huangfu Long roared, stomping his foot. The ground rumbled and cracked. A fierce and terrifying fist blasted out, heading straight for the speaker—the one who had ambushed Lin Feng and was now spouting nonsense.

"You're showing murderous intent. Do you have no regard for our Heavenly Lake?" Another person from Heavenly Pivot Peak sneered as he struck, trying to pin a big hat on Huangfu Long's head. True Yuan power surged, and the two attacked Huangfu Long simultaneously.

"Boom!" A terrifying brute force seemed to shake mountains. The ground trembled. Huangfu Long's whole body radiated a wild, desolate aura. A faint dragon roar seemed to emanate from within his body, forcing both opponents back. His strength was immense.

"How dare you! You want to kill a Heavenly Lake disciple?"

A third person struck. Ice and snow condensed in the air, turning into cold sharp swords that stabbed directly at Huangfu Long. They were ganging up on him.

"Get lost!" Huangfu Long roared. Dragon energy seemed to burst from his body, making people's hearts tremble. The ice swords condensed by that person shattered inch by inch.

"So domineering." The crowd's eyes narrowed. They hadn't expected the hot-tempered Huangfu Long, who seemed crazy and reckless, to have such explosive power. He was fighting three Heavenly Pivot Peak experts alone.

"Die!" Rolling shouts rang out. Another person struck a palm at Huangfu Long. This palm strike contained endless ice and snow power. Layers of ice and snow rushed at Huangfu Long, shaking the space, possessing a terrifying momentum. The palm wind alone covered Huangfu Long's body in ice and snow.

"Is that enough?" A cold voice rang out. Lin Feng's body moved like the wind, instantly appearing. He let the terrifying ice and snow palm wind hit his body, directly arriving in front of the opponent.

"Four against one, step by step killing intent, quite impressive. You really do follow the Venerable's teachings."

Lin Feng stared at the opponent. That person tried to retreat, but Lin Feng reached out and directly grabbed his arm. A terrifying force descended, making it impossible for him to move.

"Die!" With a furious shout, a terrifying ice and snow willpower surged at Lin Feng. Lin Feng's body was instantly covered in ice and frost. But at that moment, a peerless sword energy burst forth. The wind howled, as if a supreme divine sword was about to be unsheathed. All the ice and snow disappeared in an instant, completely gone.

Another person from Heavenly Pivot Peak flashed, preparing to come to the rescue. But Lin Feng turned his eyes, a cold light shooting out. He opened his mouth and spat out one word: "Slash!"

As the word fell, endless swords burst forth, slashing toward that person, forcing him to retreat wildly and defend desperately.

"Boom!" Lin Feng directly punched the person in front of him on the shoulder. A cracking sound rang out. That person screamed, his shoulder bone shattering directly.

Terrifying cold energy was released wildly. The Heavenly Pivot Peak experts saw Lin Feng succeed and all prepared to attack.

"Everyone saw it. He made the first move to kill someone from our Heavenly Pivot Peak. If our Heavenly Pivot Peak doesn't fight back, we'd be cowards." Ling Xue said indifferently, firmly occupying the moral high ground. He didn't believe they couldn't kill these two people, who dared to be so arrogant.

"Since you say I want to kill someone from your Heavenly Pivot Peak, I'll kill one for you to see." Lin Feng's eyes swept toward Ling Xue, murderous intent spreading. He stomped down hard. The person on the ground spat blood. The terrifying force directly shattered his internal organs, killing him on the spot.

Endless ice and frost cold air simultaneously surged toward Lin Feng. The Heavenly Pivot Peak people attacked together. Snowflakes fell from the sky. The entire space seemed about to be frozen solid. They surrounded Lin Feng, murderous intent chilling.

"Are you all just going to watch?" Lin Feng glanced at Yu Tianji and Tianchi Xue and the others. The people from the other six snow peaks didn't speak, all silently watching everything unfold.

"Lin Feng, you shouldn't have killed him." Tianchi Xue said coldly. Lin Feng had actually killed a Heavenly Lake disciple. This undoubtedly put him in a position of injustice, giving others ammunition. The Heavenly Pivot Peak people now had a reason to kill.

"You mean I should wait for them to kill me?" Lin Feng looked calmly at Tianchi Xue and asked, making Tianchi Xue's eyes freeze. She remained silent.

"You don't deserve the Great Pest." Lin Feng said indifferently, not looking at Tianchi Xue again. His words made Tianchi Xue's eyes freeze. For the first time, someone said she didn't deserve someone else. In the Heavenly Lake Empire, which young talent didn't regard her as a holy maiden, wanting to win her favor?

"The Heavenly Pivot Peak people ambushed me first, and now they're biting like mad dogs, deliberately provoking me, trying to put me to death. Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish. Come and kill me." Lin Feng swept his gaze over the crowd. If there was no reason, he would use strength to speak.

Snowflakes danced in the sky, continuously falling. An extremely cold willpower fell on Lin Feng and Huangfu Long, as if trying to freeze their bodies, their blood. If they were weaker, they would be frozen to death, their bodies unable to move, their blood unable to flow.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Cold voices rang out. The Heavenly Pivot Peak people finally made their move. Terrifying cold willpower stacked up, making even Huangfu Long's True Yuan power seem unable to circulate. His whole body felt pressed down by a terrifying force, every movement extremely difficult.

So many experts simultaneously used their terrifying willpower to suppress, enough to freeze experts of the same level to death.

Lin Feng's body was instantly covered in a layer of ice and snow, about to freeze him to death. But at that moment, a terrifying flame willpower spread out. The terrifying flame power instantly melted the ice and snow, turning it into water droplets that dripped to the ground.

Those ice and snow could no longer approach Lin Feng's body. A scorching heat gradually rose. The ice and snow in the sky also began to melt.

"Flame willpower is strong, but can it block us?" A cold shout rang out. Those experts simultaneously launched attacks. Terrifying ice and snow eroded the flames, trying to completely extinguish the flame energy.

"Chi, chi..." But at that moment, a peerless sword energy that pierced the heavens was released. The faces of those experts suddenly changed drastically. This terrifying sword energy seemed to tear their bodies apart. At this moment, they felt so insignificant. Their willpower was completely suppressed!
