"I indeed wish to eradicate you here, but now, there are more important matters at hand."
Ye Fentian said with a smile.
Liu Yu asked in surprise, "Is there something more important than killing me?"
Ye Fentian nodded and said, "Of course! Killing you is important, but killing another person is even more so!"
At this moment, Ye Fentian’s gaze fell upon Ling Chen.
"Ling Chen, you agree, don’t you?"
As his voice fell, an intense killing intent spread instantly from Ye Fentian.
Liu Yu was immediately dumbfounded.
Looking at the situation, the other person Ye Fentian referred to as more important to kill seemed to be... Ling Chen?
But isn’t Ling Chen the talent of the Burning Flame Sect?
Why would there be infighting?
The others from the Star Pavilion were also dumbfounded.
They couldn’t understand at all what the Burning Flame Sect was up to!
"Ye Fentian, what are you doing? Even if you want to kill Ling Chen, that’s the Burning Flame Sect’s affair, what does it have to do with us?"
Ye Fentian laughed proudly and said, "Having you here is naturally to serve as witnesses! My Burning Flame Sect has produced such a talent as Ling Chen, you probably wish you could eliminate him to feel at ease, don’t you?"
"This time, you don’t need to lift a finger! I will kill him for all of you to see!"
The people from the Star Pavilion were dumbfounded once again.
They absolutely did not understand what Ye Fentian meant.
Ye Fentian aiming to kill Ling Chen was something that would delight the enemies and torture the loved ones.
Liu Yu’s face was filled with disbelief.
If someone else had taken action against Ling Chen, he could understand.
After all, if some were to pledge loyalty to their Star Pavilion, such an action would make sense.
But now, it was Ye Fentian who was going to act!
Ye Fentian was clearly the Young Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect!
Even if Ye Fentian was dissatisfied with his own father, this was not the way to go, was it?
"Young Pavilion Master Liu, watch carefully!"
Ye Fentian didn’t bother to explain further.
His gaze, filled with a cold murderous intent, shifted towards Ling Chen.
"Ling Chen, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
Ye Fentian said with a grim smile.
Here, there were only people from the Burning Flame Sect and the Star Pavilion.
If Ling Chen were to die, no one would suspect that Ye Fentian had a hand in it!
They would all suspect the Star Pavilion.
In this way, they could pin this huge blame on the Star Pavilion.
Because, with Ling Chen’s outstanding performance in the Burning Flame Sect, no one would think that it was the Burning Flame Sect’s own doing!
Moreover, they could use this reason to deal with the Star Pavilion.
Most importantly, if the people from Ling Chen’s bloodline clan were to seek revenge in the future, this enmity would also be attributed to the Star Pavilion.
A bloodline sect could probably easily send a few experts and annihilate the Star Pavilion.
And their Burning Flame Sect would be safe and sound and might even be favored by the bloodline clan.
Because they, the Burning Flame Sect, had once fought the Star Pavilion for Ling Chen.
"Ye Fentian, indeed, your desire to see me dead is unrelenting!"
Ling Chen said with a chilly smile.
"It seems you’re not surprised at all?"
Ye Fentian was somewhat surprised by Ling Chen’s calm demeanor.
"Of course, I noticed something was wrong from this mission."
"Oh? Then you’re quite calm about it!"
Ye Fentian said, "But what does it matter if you’ve discovered it? Today, you will surely die!"
Ye Fentian smiled and said coldly, "It seems that defeating someone at the sixth level of the Palace Mansion Realm has made you overly confident! Since that’s the case, then allow me to shatter your confidence!"
Ye Fentian’s body shook, and a terrifying aura instantly swept across.
"Palace Mansion Realm seventh level?"
Ling Chen sneered dismissively.
The cultivator Ling Chen had just defeated, Tong Lu, was indeed in the late phase of the Palace Mansion Realm sixth level.
But after deploying the Holy Body Secret Technique, his Spiritual Power was comparable to that of a late seventh level cultivator in the Palace Mansion Realm.
"Palace Mansion Realm seventh level? Haha! That is not the limit of this Young Sect Master!"
Ye Fentian sneered, his aura continuing to soar.
Next, a terrifying surge of Spiritual Power roared out.
"This is the Spiritual Power of the Palace Mansion Realm eighth level!"
Most of these people were disciples of the Burning Flame Sect summoned by Ye Fentian.
Ye Fentian, staring at Ling Chen, mocked, "Now, do you still have the confidence to defeat this Young Sect Master?"
He possessed a Silver Palace, his Spiritual Power on par with a Sacred Body cultivator at the eighth level of the Palace Mansion Realm.
Ling Chen had only beaten someone at the late phase of the Palace Mansion Realm sixth level; he could not possibly be his opponent.
Ling Chen shook his head and said, "It seems there’s no need for me to hide my strength any longer!"
As his words fell, the aura around Ling Chen changed.
"This kid was actually concealing his cultivation level?"
"Palace Mansion Realm fourth level?"
Li Xuan and Elder Xu’s expressions shifted subtly.
They were both super-powerful figures at the ninth level of the Palace Mansion Realm, and yet Ling Chen was able to conceal his cultivation in front of them.
This was truly unbelievable.
"This kid is quite interesting!"
Curiosity shone even brighter in the eyes of the external disciples from Star Pavilion.
His main focus was on the Body Refining Technique.
Spiritual Power was just a secondary skill.
Hence, his Spiritual Power was not that high.
They could not clearly sense Ling Chen’s cultivation level.
Moreover, Ling Chen had received a second legacy, which naturally included methods of hiding one’s cultivation level.
"Palace Mansion Realm fourth level?!"
Ye Fentian’s eyes narrowed sharply.
He had not anticipated that Ling Chen could hide his cultivation level in front of Li Xuan.
Previously, with a cultivation of the late third level of the Palace Mansion Realm, Ling Chen was able to defeat someone implementing the Holy Body Secret Technique in the late sixth level.
Now, Ling Chen’s cultivation had advanced further.
If he didn’t have other measures, there really might be a chance for an ambush.
"So what if you’re at the Palace Mansion Realm fourth level? Today, you will die!"
Ye Fentian said through gritted teeth.
As a powerhouse of the Palace Mansion Realm seventh level, his methods naturally weren’t limited to just Spiritual Power.
"Enough talk, let’s see the truth beneath our hands!" Ling Chen sneered.
Ye Fentian nodded, his eyes filled with a cold murderous intent.
A flash of light in his hand, and a silver longsword materialized.
"Heaven Burning Solitary Flame!"
Ye Fentian roared, unleashing waves of Sword Qi from the silver longsword, which then condensed into a beautiful flame before him.
His opening move wielded a mid-grade King Spiritual Weapon enhanced by a mid-grade King Spirit Technique.
Ling Chen scoffed as he watched the flame, his longsword dancing to reveal a blood-lit Green Lotus.
With a gesture, the Blood Blue Lotus flew towards the beautiful flame.
Lotus and flame collided.
Terrifying shockwaves of energy rampaged outward.
In this attack, Ling Chen rallied the power of the Green Lotus Bloodline to its utmost limit.
With the boost from both the Green Lotus Bloodline and the Golden Palace, he bridged the gap in cultivation levels between the two combatants.
Lotus and flame both annihilated.
"Since it’s a fight to the death, there’s no need to resort to such rubbish methods, right?"
Ling Chen’s mouth curled with a hint of coldness.
"Sharp-tongued little brat, since you despise living so much, then I shall send you on your way!"
Ye Fentian’s expression was cold as ice frost.
Ling Chen deeming his attack methods weak was truly laughable.
If he were to use his real strengths, Ling Chen would likely not be able to withstand even a single strike.
