Chapter 263: Destroy Hundred Swords Mountain, Force Li Xuanfeng Out!

The expressions of Emperor Xuan and Emperor Ghost Axe were both very ugly.

Li Xuanfeng had just left, and they were already looking for excuses to leave right after him; everyone knew full well that they intended to hunt down Li Xuanfeng.

But no one would say it openly. However, Emperor Ling gave them absolutely no Face, placing the matter directly out in the open.

This behavior from Emperor Ling also provoked him into directly exposing his true inner thoughts.

"I still stand by my words: I will protect the Peerless King. This matter has nothing to do with the Ten Thousand Artifact Sect; it is my personal decision!"

Emperor Ling's attitude was firm, and she did not lift the blockade on this space.

Only after leaving enough safe time for Li Xuanfeng to depart would she consider stopping the blockade.

The expressions of Emperor Xuan and Emperor Ghost Axe shifted, and even though they were furious, they did not dare to truly lash out.

Emperor Ling had spoken directly to state her position, completely unafraid of becoming an enemy of the four major super forces.

Under these circumstances, if they dared to lash out, Emperor Ling might truly not hold back.

The other King Realm experts also had different thoughts.

Emperor Ling could be considered the first King Realm expert to publicly state that she was siding with Li Xuanfeng.

With her status as the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Artifact Sect and the number one person in the King Realm, this matter would surely cause a huge uproar.

"What kind of favor do you owe him? Is it really worth going to this extent?"

Emperor Ice Feather looked at Emperor Ling with a complex expression.

To her, Li Xuanfeng was indeed an unbelievably Prodigy, but the risk of siding with him was equally too great to accept.

Therefore, after Li Xuanfeng left, she did not follow to escort him away.

She had always been somewhat hesitant in her heart.

On one hand, she knew that once she could gain Li Xuanfeng's favor, she might receive unexpected gains in the future.

On the other hand, she was worried that Li Xuanfeng wouldn't survive this calamity.

It wouldn't matter if her efforts went unrewarded, but it would be disastrous if she were liquidated by those super forces afterward.

Furthermore, she had always liked to seek her Master's advice when acting, but the distance was too great now, and she could not contact her Master.

After much hesitation, Li Xuanfeng had already gone far, and even if she wanted to catch up now, she might not be able to.

"You are just too dependent on your Master's advice when doing things. If your Master were truly here, they might have made the same choice as I did."

"You are afraid that the investment will fail, afraid that Li Xuanfeng won't survive this calamity, and then you will be liquidated, right?"

"But how can there be so many perfect choices in this world? If you want high returns, you must bear high risks."

"Originally, with your talent, your strength wouldn't differ from mine so much, but you spend too much time hesitating, so you have missed many opportunities that could have greatly improved your strength."

Emperor Ling looked at Emperor Ice Feather; she hoped this friend could stand firmly on Li Xuanfeng's side just like her.

But the current outcome was also within her expectations.

"The Peerless King is different from any Prodigy in the past; he is bound to be the number one King Realm expert through the ages. How could such a person not have great Luck?"

"Even if he encounters a desperate situation, he will be able to grasp that glimmer of survival."

"You might have missed the greatest opportunity of your life this time. Do you really have to wait until you realize it in the future to know regret?"

Emperor Ling looked at Emperor Ice Feather seriously.

Upon being told this, Emperor Ice Feather seemed somewhat moved, but there was still more hesitation in her expression.

Emperor Ling sighed and said nothing more.

"You can't always be right, right? Throughout history, there have been countless fleeting, peerless Prodigies. While obtaining peerless talent, one must endure corresponding hardships, so those peerless Prodigies who shine for a moment usually die young."

"Offending four super forces at once, the secrets on him will definitely attract the covetousness of countless experts. Can he really avoid this calamity?"

"Besides, I have already made my decision, so how could I regret it…"

Emperor Ice Feather muttered.

She wanted to defend herself, but her words lacked much conviction.

Emperor Ling shook her head inwardly, no longer trying to persuade this friend.

Her personality was quite different from Emperor Ice Feather's. The reason they could become friends, besides knowing each other since childhood, was more importantly that they had quite a lot of common language regarding the Dao of Artifact Refining.

Although Emperor Ice Feather's talent in the Dao of Artifact Refining was far inferior to hers, she could barely bring her some inspiration and enlightenment.

Having known each other for so many years, Emperor Ling did not want to become strangers with Emperor Ice Feather.

Therefore, no matter what, as long as Emperor Ice Feather did not become an enemy of Li Xuanfeng, that was the best outcome, and she couldn't be bothered to continue persuading her.

…

Li Xuanfeng left the Weapon Refining City, shuttling through the Void Realm, using the System to check the changes in the color of his fate to seek Luck and avoid disaster, perfectly avoiding potential threats.

His target this time was very clear—the Lijiang Branch of the Black Fire Sect.

From the moment he killed Zhang Yan in the Land of Fallen Kings, he had already formed a feud with this force.

Later, he successively killed the Red Fire King and the Left Protector.

The Nether Fire King also brought the Hundred Fire King to cause him trouble; this branch had no need to continue existing.

Previously, wanting to wipe out an entire branch was quite difficult for Li Xuanfeng, but now, he could wipe out the Lijiang Branch just like he wiped out the Kuxuan Sect in the Great Flame Dynasty back then.

In the nine regions of the Holy City, the Black Fire Sect ruled the Black Fire Region.

Besides the most powerful main sect, there were numerous branches under its command, spread throughout the Black Fire Region.

The Lijiang Branch was one of them.

The Master of the Lijiang Branch was an expert at the Early Stage of the King Realm, known as Emperor Blazing Sun.

Emperor Blazing Sun had previously been recalled to the main sect and returned to the Lijiang Branch not long ago, only to learn a piece of news that made him extremely furious.

His outstanding Prodigy under his command, one of the King Realm reserve seeds, Zhang Yan, had actually fallen in such a small place as the Land of Fallen Kings.

The Red Fire King and the Left Protector had also fallen in succession.

A day ago, another piece of bad news arrived; the soul tablet of his capable assistant, the Vice Sect Master of the Lijiang Branch, the Nether Fire King, had shattered.

This piece of news left him both shocked and furious.

The Nether Fire King had gone to the Weapon Refining City in the Hundred Weapons Region to participate in the Artifact Refining competition, and he was even with the Hundred Fire King. How could he have suddenly fallen?

In order to figure out the situation, Emperor Blazing Sun personally contacted other nearby branches, and finally, a few hours ago, he learned an even more shocking piece of news—the Hundred Fire King had fallen!

As the second on the King Ranking and the Face of the Black Fire Sect's King Realm, the fall of the Hundred Fire King was no small matter; it was enough to alarm the Black Fire Sect headquarters.

The headquarters had already sent people to the Weapon Refining City to investigate the situation.

"If no major event occurs, King Realm experts rarely fall!"

"The last time King Realm experts fell in succession was the Xu family. King Xuan Spear, King Cloud Spear, King Cloud Thunder, King Dark Spear, and King Red Spear all fell at the hands of Li Xuanfeng."

"The Prodigies of my Lijiang Branch, Zhang Yan, the Red Fire King, and the Left Protector, also fell at the hands of Li Xuanfeng. This person is simply…"

"No, could the fall of the Nether Fire King and the Hundred Fire King this time also be the work of Li Xuanfeng?"

"Impossible! He should not possess such strength at the moment!"

"According to the time inference, the Nether Fire King fell at the beginning of the Artifact Refining competition. He should have already arrived at the Weapon Refining City. Even if Li Xuanfeng had that strength, he wouldn't have the guts to make a move in the Weapon Refining City!"

Emperor Blazing Sun paced back and forth in the main hall, frowning in deep thought.

"Sect Master!"

"The personnel have been assembled!"

Just then, a respectful voice of an Elder sounded from outside the hall door.

"Then set off immediately, go to the Great Flame Dynasty to destroy Hundred Swords Mountain, and force Li Xuanfeng out!"

Emperor Blazing Sun shook off the complicated thoughts in his mind and spoke.
