Everyone looked at Ling Fan as if he were already dead.
Mu Tianlang clapped his hands excitedly, "If this brat doesn't die this time, I, this young master, will eat dog feces on the Maplewood City wall in front of everyone in the city for three days!"
Under everyone's gaze.
Wu Zhi had the demonic bird descend.
Then.
Wu Zhi walked towards Ling Fan step by step.
The atmosphere at this moment was almost frozen.
Everyone held their breath. A few steps felt like a century.
Mu Yiyi and Mu Renmin were burning with anxiety in their hearts.
Mu Yiyi frantically sought help from Mu Qinxin, wanting Mu Qinxin to save Ling Fan again.
Mu Qinxin coldly shook her head.
She paid no attention.
On the contrary, Ling Fan.
His expression remained calm.
As if he hadn't realized he was facing imminent disaster.
This made Jue Ya, Gu Jiu, Mu Liouma, Mu Tianlang, and the disciples of the Silver Feather Sect all sneer inwardly.
Let's see how long you can pretend!
Soon.
The Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect, under the gaze of countless eyes, walked to about ten feet in front of Ling Fan.
The Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect straightened his body with a "slap."
Then...
Under the horrified gazes of countless people, he bowed almost ninety degrees, offering a grand salute to Ling Fan.
"Wu... Wu Zhi of the Four Symbols Sect, greets Senior!"
Boom!
The moment the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect, Wu Zhi, spoke these words.
Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning, scorched inside and out, and were dumbfounded!
At that moment.
Everyone's worldview was shattered into pieces.
Jue Ya and Gu Jiu were stunned.
Mu Liouma and Mu Tianlang, grandfather and grandson, were also dumbfounded.
The elders and deacons of the Four Symbols Sect stood like wooden statues.
And the disciples of the Silver Feather Sect.
Their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.
Mu Qinxin was completely stunned.
Her delicate and cold, pretty face was filled with disbelief.
Mu Yiyi's mouth formed an "o" shape, looking very cute.
And Mu Renmin beside her was completely shocked!
As for the people of Maplewood City, there was no need to even mention them.
Waves of shock surged in their hearts.
That was the Sect Master of the Upper Sect, who was as high and mighty as a god in their eyes.
Yet, he was so respectful to such a young martial artist.
He even bowed as a junior.
And called that young man "Senior."
This was simply too absurd.
Even storytellers wouldn't dare to write it like this.
Although the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect, Wu Zhi, looked only thirty or forty years old, he had actually entered the Giant Spirit Realm Martial King realm for decades.
His actual age had long exceeded eighty years!
However, due to the long lifespan of Giant Spirit Realm Martial Kings, who could live up to three hundred years, Wu Zhi's age was not considered very old among Martial Kings.
He could even be considered a relatively young Giant Spirit Realm cultivator.
But no matter what.
Wu Zhi should not have called that young man Senior.
Just as everyone's minds were shaken.
Ling Fan, with his hands behind his back, calmly looked at the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect, Wu Zhi, who was bowing with his upper body almost parallel to the ground.
He did not speak, and Wu Zhi dared not rise.
Time ticked by.
Everyone felt the immense pressure.
Great drops of cold sweat dripped from Wu Zhi's forehead.
Ling Fan's eyes showed a hint of recollection.
After a long while.
He seemed to recall something.
The day he forcefully entered the Suspended Gate and devoured the two Giant Spirit Realm cultivators guarding it, he had vaguely sensed the aura of another Giant Spirit Realm expert.
But this aura came and went quickly.
Before he could make any move.
This aura had vanished without a trace.
He hadn't paid much attention at the time.
Now that he thought about it.
That unfamiliar Giant Spirit Realm expert was likely the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect, Wu Zhi.
He must have seen his ruthless methods in killing those two Giant Spirit Realm cultivators, which was why he was so afraid of him, like a mouse seeing a cat.
"Get up."
Ling Fan said indifferently.
Only then did Wu Zhi rise as if he had received a great pardon.
However, he still bent his body slightly, maintaining a posture of utmost fear and trepidation.
"Sect... Sect Master, what are you doing? He's just an unknown junior, only strong in his physical body. Why is he worthy of such respect from you? Moreover, he is an enemy who opposes our Four Symbols Sect! You... this isn't appropriate, is it?"
Jue Ya, forcefully suppressing his shock, couldn't help but ask.
He voiced the question that everyone present was desperately eager to know.
The Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect, Wu Zhi, glared fiercely at Jue Ya.
"Slap!"
Immediately, a loud slap echoed. Wu Zhi struck Jue Ya so hard that blood spurted from his mouth as he was sent flying.
"Idiot!"
Wu Zhi cursed word by word through gritted teeth.
Then he turned to Ling Fan, his face immediately changing to an obsequious expression.
"Senior, Wu Zhi has failed to discipline properly, allowing these two imbeciles to offend you. Wu Zhi deserves death. If I had known you were in Maplewood City, I would have come to pay my respects immediately."
"Really?"
Ling Fan asked with a half-smile.
Wu Zhi forced an awkward smile.
Of course, he was saying the opposite of what he meant.
If he had known Ling Fan was in Maplewood City, he would have avoided him as far as possible and never set foot in Maplewood City again in his life!
Ling Fan was too lazy to expose him.
He said, "I said last time, if these two dare to step into Maplewood City again, they will be turned to ashes. You decide how to handle them."
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect, Wu Zhi's expression immediately turned cold.
He looked sharply at Jue Ya and Gu Jiu.
Being looked at by Wu Zhi like that, Jue Ya and Gu Jiu were instantly terrified.
They hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Sect Master, spare our lives! Sect Master, we have served you faithfully for over ten years. If we have no merit, we have at least toiled hard! If you help an outsider kill us brothers, won't that chill the hearts of everyone in the Four Symbols Sect!"
Wu Zhi snorted coldly and said indifferently, "You two imbeciles almost brought about the destruction of our Four Symbols Sect, and you still have the nerve to beg for mercy!"
Boom!
Wu Zhi grabbed fiercely, and his spiritual power domain instantly spread out.
Everyone covered by the domain felt their bodies imprisoned by an overwhelming force.
Only Ling Fan and the three Giant Spirit Realm elders of the Four Symbols Sect were unaffected.
Jue Ya and Gu Jiu were instantly enveloped by an incredibly terrifying spiritual power.
They still wanted to speak.
But a surge of spiritual power instantly entered their mouths, and both their tongues were turned into bloody mist from the root.
Moans that were not human-like came from their throats.
They glared at Ling Fan with extreme venom, their gazes wishing they could devour him alive.
Seeing this, Wu Zhi's gaze instantly turned cold.
With a flick of his finger, their eyeballs exploded, leaving only two shocking blood holes in their eye sockets.
This scene instantly sent chills down everyone's spines.
They felt that Wu Zhi was too ruthless!
Wu Zhi, however, paid no heed. He reached out and grabbed them from a distance, and his incomparably powerful spiritual energy instantly絞殺 down, completely crushing Jue Ya and Gu Jiu.
