Chapter 3609: Petty Profits

The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat heavy.

The higher-ups of the Void Spirit Society sat in their seats, their expressions solemn.

They had received news that the high-level members of the major clans had already gathered in the Azure Dragon Domain.

This meant that the situation had reached a critical juncture, and the Void Spirit Society had to make a choice.

“Everyone, what are your thoughts on this?”

The President of the Void Spirit Society, Gu Cangyun, looked at everyone and asked.

Gu Cangyun was an elderly man with white hair and a beard, but his eyes were sharp, like a hawk's, giving off an invisible pressure.

“President, I think we should join forces with the major clans.”

An elder stood up and said, “The power of the major clans cannot be underestimated. If we join them, we will surely gain more benefits.”

“I disagree!”

Another elder stood up and retorted, “The major clans are all ambitious. If we join them, we will only be used as cannon fodder.”

“Then what do you think we should do? Should we just watch as they take all the benefits?”

The two elders began to argue, and the others also joined in the discussion.

Gu Cangyun watched all this silently, his expression unchanging.

He knew that everyone had their own interests, and it was difficult to reach a consensus.

“Alright, stop arguing!”

Gu Cangyun shouted, and the conference room immediately fell silent.

“I have already made a decision.”

Gu Cangyun's voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

“We will not join the major clans, but we will not give up on the benefits either.”

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what Gu Cangyun meant.

“President, what do you mean?” an elder asked.

Gu Cangyun smiled slightly and said, “We will act independently and look for opportunities.”

“Act independently? Isn't that too risky?”

“Risk and opportunity always coexist,” Gu Cangyun said. “If we want to get more, we must take some risks.”

The elders looked at each other, and although they were still a bit worried, they didn't dare to object to Gu Cangyun's decision.

At the same time, in another place, Yang Kai was also preparing.

He knew that the situation in the Azure Dragon Domain was becoming more and more complicated, and he had to be careful.

He had already gathered a lot of information and knew that the major clans were all eyeing the treasures in the Azure Dragon Domain.

“Master, what should we do?”

Liu Xian'er looked at Yang Kai and asked.

Yang Kai thought for a moment and said, “We'll wait and see. Let them fight first, and we'll see if there's an opportunity to pick up some petty profits.”

Liu Xian'er nodded, she had always trusted Yang Kai's judgment.

A few days later, the major clans finally began to take action.

They sent out a large number of experts to enter the core area of the Azure Dragon Domain.

The Void Spirit Society also sent out their experts, but they didn't act with the major clans, instead choosing to enter from another direction.

Yang Kai and Liu Xian'er also quietly followed behind.

The core area of the Azure Dragon Domain was filled with dangers, with powerful monsters and restrictions everywhere.

The experts of the major clans suffered heavy losses, but they didn't stop, instead continuing to move forward.

“It seems they are really determined to get those treasures,” Yang Kai said as he watched from a distance.

“Master, look over there!”

Liu Xian'er suddenly pointed in a direction.

Yang Kai looked over and saw a group of people fighting a powerful monster.

That monster was a giant flood dragon, its body covered in scales, and it gave off a powerful aura.

The people fighting it were the experts of the Void Spirit Society.

“It's them,” Yang Kai recognized them at a glance.

The Void Spirit Society's experts were in a difficult situation, as the flood dragon was very powerful and they were finding it hard to cope.

“Should we help them?” Liu Xian'er asked.

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “Not yet. Let's see how they handle it.”

Just then, the flood dragon suddenly let out a roar and spat out a bolt of lightning.

The Void Spirit Society's experts were caught off guard, and several of them were hit by the lightning, falling to the ground.

“Now's the time!”

Yang Kai's eyes flashed, and he suddenly charged out.

He moved like a phantom, arriving in front of the flood dragon in an instant.

“Die!”

Yang Kai shouted, and a powerful force erupted from his hand, striking the flood dragon's head.

The flood dragon let out a scream, its head exploding, and it fell to the ground.

The Void Spirit Society's experts were all stunned, not expecting someone to suddenly appear and kill the flood dragon.

“Who are you?” an elder asked, looking at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai didn't answer, instead turning to look at the flood dragon's corpse.

He saw a glowing bead inside the flood dragon's body.

“A Monster Core!”

Yang Kai's eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab the Monster Core.

“Stop!” the elder shouted, trying to stop Yang Kai.

The entire arena fell into a deathly silence, as if time itself had frozen at this moment.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, watching the figure on the stage.

The massive pressure that had been like a dark cloud just moments ago had vanished without a trace.

The terrifying aura that had suffocated everyone was gone.

Lin Feng stood quietly in place, his expression calm, as if he had just done something trivial.

But the Elder of the Blood Sea Sect opposite him was in a completely different state.

His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with deep shock and disbelief.

The blood-colored longsword in his hand was covered in cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The move he had been so proud of had been effortlessly neutralized by Lin Feng.

Not only that, but he could feel a hidden force within his body, wildly wreaking havoc.

It was a pure, overbearing power that he couldn't resist at all.

"You… who exactly are you?" the Blood Sea Sect Elder asked, his voice trembling.

He couldn't believe that a young man could possess such terrifying strength.

Lin Feng didn't answer him, but instead turned his gaze toward the spectators' stand.

His gaze landed on the Sect Master of the Blood Sea Sect, his eyes cold and indifferent.

The Blood Sea Sect Master's expression was grim, his hands tightly gripping the armrests of his chair.

He could see that this young man before him was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

The strength Lin Feng had displayed just now had already surpassed the level of an ordinary genius.

"Hmph, no matter who you are, if you dare to oppose my Blood Sea Sect, there is only one path: death!"

The Blood Sea Sect Master spoke coldly, his voice echoing throughout the arena like thunder.

As his voice fell, several powerful auras erupted from the spectators' stand.

Several figures flew out, surrounding Lin Feng in the center of the arena.

These people were all experts of the Blood Sea Sect, and their strength was not inferior to the Elder from before.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding spectators couldn't help but gasp.

The Blood Sea Sect was actually planning to use numbers to overwhelm him, which was simply shameless.

However, in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, no one would stand up for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at the experts surrounding him, a hint of a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Is this all the Blood Sea Sect is capable of? Just a bunch of people ganging up?"

His words were filled with disdain, causing the faces of the Blood Sea Sect experts to turn red with anger.

"Kid, you're looking for death!" one of the experts roared, taking the lead to attack.

He struck out with a palm, and a massive bloody handprint formed in the air, pressing down toward Lin Feng.

The other experts followed suit, unleashing their strongest attacks one after another.

For a moment, the entire arena was filled with various brilliant lights and terrifying energy fluctuations.

Lin Feng stood in the center of the storm, his expression still calm and unruffled.

He slowly raised his right hand, a faint golden light flickering on his fingertips.

"Break!" he shouted softly, and a golden ripple spread out from his body.

Wherever the golden ripple passed, all the attacks were like snow meeting the sun, melting away instantly.

The Blood Sea Sect experts were all sent flying by the golden ripple, coughing up blood.

The audience was once again stunned. One move! Just one move had defeated several experts!

The Blood Sea Sect Master's face was now as dark as the bottom of a pot, his eyes filled with killing intent.

He knew that if he didn't act now, the reputation of the Blood Sea Sect would be completely ruined.

"Good, very good! It seems I have underestimated you!"

The Blood Sea Sect Master slowly stood up, a terrifying aura slowly rising from his body.

This aura was far stronger than any of the experts from before.

He was a true powerhouse of the Spirit Severing Realm, a top-tier existence in this region.

As he stepped forward, the entire arena began to tremble, as if it couldn't withstand his pressure.

Lin Feng's expression finally became a bit more serious. A Spirit Severing Realm expert was indeed a challenge.

But there was no fear in his eyes, only a burning fighting spirit.

He had been looking for a worthy opponent to test his current strength.

"Come then, let me see what the Sect Master of the Blood Sea Sect is capable of!"

Lin Feng laughed loudly, his voice filled with arrogance and confidence.

The Blood Sea Sect Master snorted coldly, and a blood-red longsword appeared in his hand.

The sword was surrounded by a dense bloody mist, and one could even hear the faint sound of wailing ghosts.

This was the Sect's treasure, the Blood Soul Sword, a high-grade Earth-rank spiritual weapon.

He brandished the longsword, and a blood-red sword light slashed toward Lin Feng.

The sword light was like a blood-red dragon, roaring as it tore through the air.

Lin Feng didn't dodge, but instead met it head-on with a punch.

His fist was wrapped in a brilliant golden light, like a miniature sun.

Boom! A deafening explosion shook the entire arena.

The collision of the two forces created a massive shockwave that sent the surrounding spectators flying.

When the dust settled, the two figures were still standing in the arena.

The Blood Sea Sect Master's face was filled with shock, as his Blood Soul Sword was actually blocked by Lin Feng's bare fist!

And Lin Feng's fist was completely unscathed, not even a scratch on it.
