Chapter 367 Abandoning Kunlun, Complete Withdrawal!!! [5k]

Inside the Xuanji Hall.

About three breaths later.

boom!!!

The illusion of "Zhou Tian Xing Yun" that enveloped the main hall was forcibly torn apart and crushed by an even more vast and domineering will!

The darkness receded, and the stars vanished.

The scene of the main hall was recreated.

Ling Feng's beard and hair stood on end, his body was surrounded by chaotic lightning, his chest heaved violently, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins and a violent killing intent.

Forcibly breaking through that strange and powerful illusion was quite taxing, even for him.

But he didn't have time to catch his breath; his gaze swept across the hall like that of a hawk.

Xu Feng has disappeared!

That puppet is gone too!

Only the corpses of the five peak masters and some of their retainers remained on the ground.

"Earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique)?! Trying to run away?!"

Enraged, Ling Feng didn't hesitate and slammed his palm down hard on the shallow pit!

Boom!

The ground was blasted open, creating a crater several meters deep, revealing a narrow, winding passage leading downwards!

"Chase!"

He moved as if to slip into the passage.

"Senior brother, come back."

A calm voice sounded behind him.

The figure of the Envoy of Youquan had appeared at the entrance of the main hall at some unknown time.

He was still dressed in a black robe, his face expressionless.

But in those deep eyes, there seemed to be a turbulent undercurrent.

"Why did it take you so long?" Ling Feng frowned and looked at You Quan.

Youquan took a deep breath: "I was delayed on the way back. There are people watching Xu Feng up there."

He pointed to the sky.

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched: "He has connections?"

"His master is at the peak of the Star God realm." Youquan slowly revealed the news he had just learned.

Ling Feng's expression immediately changed several times: "So?"

Youquan sighed, "So, it's fine if you make a move, but it's not okay if we all make a move together."

But it doesn't matter.

He didn't look at the corpses scattered on the ground, nor at the enraged Ling Feng; his gaze was fixed on the underground passage.

Finally, he slowly raised his eyes and looked in a certain direction on the outskirts of Xiaoqingqiong Mountain.

It was as if one could see through the layers of mountains and rocks and see that figure rapidly fleeing into the distance.

"Then Xu Feng—" Ling Feng asked urgently.

"He can't escape. We can't act at the same time, but that doesn't mean this matter can just be left like this."

The sound of the secluded spring remained calm, yet it carried a chilling quality that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Pass on my order: activate the Nine Netherworld Earth-Covering Array," sealing off the earth's veins within a thousand miles of the mountain gate and prohibiting all earth-遁 (earth-遁) techniques.

"All peak masters, retainers, and vassal clans were mobilized to block all exits and conduct a thorough search of the mountain."

99

"Since he likes to hide underground—then let him remain buried there forever."

Youquan slowly turned around and looked at the people from various peaks who were gradually gathering outside the hall, disturbed by the commotion. His voice echoed in all directions: "Xu Feng of the human race disguised himself and infiltrated, harming the peak master. His crime is unforgivable."

"Whoever takes his head will be rewarded with thirty Star God Pills, three Spirit Pivot Treasures, two Star God Weapons, and promoted to the rank of First Peak Master!"

"A substantial reward will be offered for anyone who provides accurate information about his whereabouts!"

"Anyone who harbors or conceals such individuals will have their entire family executed!"

The icy voice, like a biting winter wind, swept through everyone's heart.

The entire Xiaoqingqiong Mountain was completely shaken!

Meanwhile, deep underground.

Xu Feng sensed the heart-pounding array fluctuations coming from behind him.

And the countless auras that had been mobilized on the ground, yet a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Peak Master, the grand formation is about to be activated. According to our previous arrangements, we have three minutes left."

Once the grand formation is activated, the entrance to the ruins will close.

Chi Xu pondered, holding the calculation figures on a wooden board.

Xu Feng nodded slightly: "Want to bury me here? We'll see if you have the ability."

He patted the little white dog that was digging hard ahead.

"Little White, go to the tenth peak."

Little Whitey squeaked twice, twitched its little nose, and quickly adjusted its direction.

soon.

As Xiaobai dug a passage, the passage connected to the entrance to the secret chamber ruins of the tenth peak.

Without wasting words, Xu Feng led the way out of the tunnel and into the secret room, then immediately opened the passage and went straight into the "Morning" City.

As the first acropolis explored by Xu Feng, he was very familiar with it.

About a few minutes later.

Youquan stood amidst the ruins of the main hall of Qingxuan Peak, sensing the direction from which Xu Feng's aura had last disappeared, his eyes icy cold.

Despite all our calculations, we never expected that these guys wouldn't just run away directly, but instead went underground to the Tenth Peak!

Jin Mu, no, Xu Feng, has such a deep understanding of Little Green Sky Mountain; they and others have made a great contribution.

Thinking of this, Youquan's eyes grew even colder.

Seriously, this is infuriating!!!

"Hidden deep within the ruins, huh? — Good."

He looked towards the direction of the seventh peak, and then towards Tian Shu Peak.

"Issue the order to mobilize all available manpower to search all known entrances to the ruins and the Ling Shu ruins."

"Senior Brother Lingfeng, you lead the team into the ruins yourself, and I'll wait outside."

As long as we don't act at the same time, that person has no reason to attack us.

"Furthermore, the Intelligence Department—in my name, contact Tianfeng—as a backup plan."

The sound of the secluded spring carried a hint of madness.

"Tell them I've agreed to their conditions, but I want them to—at all costs, dig Xu Feng out of here as quickly as possible!"

"I want to see him alive, or dead—I want to see his body!"

"In addition, the return of Peak Master Zhaotianyin is a third-line plan."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng's eyelids twitched, and the expressions of the Law Enforcement Hall Master and the Intelligence Hall Master both changed drastically.

But in the end, they still hesitantly replied, "Yes!"

Everyone knows that Little Green Sky Mountain has eighteen peak masters and two envoys.

But what they didn't know was that there was actually a "deputy envoy" in addition to him.

But this deputy envoy... has always been a taboo figure in the mountains.

Its actual strength is only second to the two envoys, but that's secondary.

Most importantly, this person is a bit strange.

So eerie that even the old people in the mountains turn pale when they talk about him.

Even the former First Thunder Peak Master would kneel down and bow to him, calling him "Senior Brother".

Otherwise, it's like being forced to rub your head on the ground.

The two envoys seemed quite "apprehensive" of him, as if his background was extraordinary.

Bringing him back would mean that Little Green Sky Mountain is about to go crazy.

The Ling Shu Legacy.

The Ling Shu Relics are located deep within the ruins of the "Chen" City.

Inside a relatively intact alloy dome hall.

The dim emergency lights provided limited illumination, and the air was filled with the smell of dust and engine oil.

Several figures, some sitting and some standing, mostly with injuries and slightly disordered breathing, but all with sharp and vigilant eyes.

It was Xiaofeng and the six members of the Shadow Blade team who had just broken out of Qingxuan Peak.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber.

Apart from heavy breathing and occasional groans of pain, no one spoke.

Huang Sen leaned against a broken pipe, grimacing as Wen Xin applied medicine to a deep, bone-revealing wound on his left arm.

Ah She squatted at his feet, transforming into the shape of a puppy.

His gaze kept drifting toward the only entrance to the hall, his eyes filled with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

suddenly.

A soft, rhythmic footstep came from deep within the passage.

Everyone tensed instantly, weapons were drawn, and eyes were fixed on the entrance.

The sound of footsteps grew louder as they approached, and soon, several figures emerged one after another.

Leading the way was Xu Feng, tall and imposing, his black clothes stained with blood, yet his gaze calm.

Following behind were Little White, whose fur was covered in mud but who looked energetic, as well as Redbeard and others.

"Peak Master!"

Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, he stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and showed a relieved expression on his face.

Huang Sen jumped to his feet, ignoring his aggravated wound, and opened his mouth as if he had a thousand words to say.

In the end, it all boiled down to a trembling voice: "Old Xu—I'm so glad you're alright!"

Xu Feng glanced at Huang Sen's wound and asked with a smile, "Did you pee?"

All of Huang Sen's sentimentality vanished, and he immediately retorted irritably, "No, Grandpa is an old woman who doesn't pee in the bathroom!"

""

Then, Xu Feng's gaze swept over the others.

"Is everything alright?"

"We're fine."

"It's nothing, thank you Mr. Xu."

"Thank you, Wind Blade War God."

The rest of the Shadow Blade squad, including their captain "Shadow," were also looking at Xu Feng and the several alien lords beside him, each with a deep aura and a different appearance. Their eyes were filled with gratitude, awe, and a hint of barely perceptible vigilance.

They were already prepared to die when they were captured.

Unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn, and he was rescued by the legendary "Xu Feng" in such a ferocious manner.

Besides Xu Feng himself, the ones who saved them were a group of high-ranking lords who were clearly from a different race.

This combination looks bizarre no matter how you look at it.

"Alright, stop with the polite words."

Hsu Feng waved her hand, interrupting any potential emotional scene.

He looked at Ying: "How are you all? Are you still able to move?"

Ying quickly scanned the team members; aside from external injuries and depleted health, there were no fatal wounds or severe immobilizations. He immediately nodded: "Alright!"

"it is good."

Xu Feng didn't waste any words and said directly, "This place is not suitable for us to stay for long. We came from the entrance of the ruins inside the peak."

The enemy will definitely guess that we'll exit through another entrance to the ruins, so part of the outer area of ​​the ruins is probably already surrounded by Little Green Sky Mountain. We must leave the ruins area immediately.

He looked at Xiaofeng: "Now that Baihefeng has taken over the defense of Shixia Valley, how is the defensive strength?"

Xiao Feng pondered and said, "The White Crane Peak Master himself is of average strength, and there are only two high-level lord retainers in the peak."

The person in charge of guarding the entrance to Shixia Valley is usually one of them, along with more than ten mid- to low-ranking lords and ordinary guards.

With our current strength, we can easily break through.

Xu Feng's eyes turned slightly cold: "I see—they didn't dare to stop us and just left."

He already had a plan in mind.

News of what happened at Qingxuan Peak takes time to spread.

Shixia Valley is quite far from the main peak, so the lord guarding the entrance may not know the details immediately.

They were especially unaware that his "Kinki" was actually "Hsu Feng".

He could easily take advantage of the information and time differences to leave openly as "Seventh Peak Master Kaneki"!

"Let's go! To the Lianshan exit!"

The group quickly made their way through the ruins passageway.

Xu Feng has a thorough understanding of the structure of "Chen" City and possesses the authority of the main city.

The journey was almost entirely uneventful, as if the ruins of the acropolis were his own backyard.

soon.

He then led his men through the city to the passage leading to the exit of Shixia Valley.

Shixia Valley entrance.

Outside the entrance to the secondary ruins.

Guarding the camp.

Seven or eight guards dressed in Baihefeng uniforms were gathered around a fire.

The leader was a bird-like lord with a hooked nose and sharp eyes, whose strength was roughly at the mid-stage of a high-level lord.

"Tell me, our peak master finally made it to the Qianqian Peak, so why does he still have us so obediently guarding the ruins?"

"I've heard that people from the Tenth Peak can go to any of their subordinate tribes' territories and live a life of luxury, even sleeping with the chieftain's daughter whenever they want!"

"Sleep, sleep, sleep! All you do is sleep! Are you a dragon? We've only just entered the top ten peaks, and the peak master's position isn't secure yet."

"Instead of focusing on building up our strength and making contributions now, what are we doing, acting recklessly?"

Just as the group of crane clan experts were laughing and cursing, the leading bird clan lord suddenly turned to look at the entrance to the ruins: "There's a fluctuation, someone's coming out!"

"No one went in? How come someone came out?" a crane clan lord asked in surprise.

"The interior of this site is interconnected; it might have been the site of exploration teams from other peaks."

"Let's go take a look!"

Swish!

A group of people immediately rushed out of the tent and came to the outside of the camp.

However, when the leading lord saw Xu Feng's face clearly, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

He immediately put on a respectful smile, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "So you are Peak Master Jinmu! What brings you here—"

His gaze swept past Xu Feng and looked at Xiao Feng, Chi Xu, and other "alien colleagues" who filed out behind him.

Upon seeing Huang Sen and the Shadow Blade team members, who were "held" in the middle and looked disheveled, his smile froze, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Xu Feng didn't even glance at him, and walked straight toward the exit of Shixia Valley.

Xiao Feng stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and said calmly, "Official business of the Demon Extermination Hall, arresting human spies, passing through this place."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

The bird clan lord's expression changed, and he quickly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Xiaofeng, saying politely, "Brother Xiaofeng, you're too kind. Since your peak has a mission, please make yourself at home."

Xiaofeng returned the greeting with a light fist salute: "You're too kind."

He then turned and left.

The group of crane clan experts dared not utter a sound.

They could only watch as Xu Feng led his team away.

The man before you is none other than the infamous Seventh Peak Master, "Kinki".

He even dared to defy the peak master Lei Jue, and was also the deputy hall master of the Demon Extermination Hall, holding a high position and great power.

He led his men, escorting several "prisoners"—who dared to question him?

Stop him? He wouldn't dare.

Kaneki is notorious for his ruthlessness.

Moreover, the opposing side has a large number of people and is significantly stronger than our side.

Only after the group disappeared into the winding stone gorge did the bird-tribe lord breathe a heavy sigh of relief and wipe away a cold sweat.

"Boss, are we just letting them go like that? Those guys being held captive... they don't really look like prisoners?"

One of his men asked cautiously.

The avian lord glared at him: "You won't let go? Go ahead and stop him? That's Jinmu!"

Didn't you hear this is official business of the Demon Extermination Hall? If there are any problems, the higher-ups will take care of them; it has nothing to do with us!

Just report the situation immediately!

Another mid-level lord swallowed hard: "Yeah, yeah, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you! So many peak lords have been crippled by that Feather King, what are we but small fry?"

Half an hour later.

Outside the cordon of Hidden Dragon Base.

Xu Feng and his group emerged from the forest. Not far ahead stood the Hidden Dragon Base's alloy exterior wall and watchtower, blending seamlessly with the mountain rocks.

As the group approached, the base was clearly on high alert.

All the automatic turrets on the outer wall were activated, searchlights scanned back and forth, and small drones patrolled the sky.

Squads of fully armed soldiers stood ready behind the defensive line.

"Halt immediately! Identify yourself! Otherwise, you will be considered hostile and will be killed without mercy!"

A stern warning came from a loudspeaker.

Huang Sen quickly stepped forward, raised his identification tag, and simultaneously called out through the internal encrypted channel: "Don't shoot! They're on our side!"

Base Nine, Huang Sen! Repeat, it's all on our side! We are the Shadow Blade Squad!

This is Xu Feng, the Wind Blade War God and the Great Xia Spirit Communicator!

The name "Shadow Blade" clearly carries special weight within the Hidden Dragon Base.

The commotion on the cordon line noticeably subsided.

Soon, the heavy alloy gate of the base slowly opened a crack.

A group of men, exuding a sharp aura and dressed in general's uniforms, strode out.

The leader was a tall, resolute-looking middle-aged man with the rank of general on his shoulder; he was none other than General Ren Kuo, the supreme commander of the Hidden Dragon Base.

His light flashed like lightning, quickly sweeping over Xu Feng and the others.

Upon seeing the alien lords such as Xiaofeng and Chixu, his pupils contracted slightly, and his hand unconsciously rested on the sword at his waist.

But when he saw Huang Sen and the Shadow Blade Squad being protected in the middle, and especially when he saw Xu Feng standing at the front with a calm demeanor, his tense expression eased slightly, but the vigilance in his eyes did not disappear.

"Xu Feng?" General Ren Kuo asked in a deep, loud voice.

"General Ren, I've heard so much about you," Xu Feng nodded slightly. "The situation is urgent; I need to contact Commander-in-Chief Di and Director Gu immediately."

Besides, these people behind me are my people; they can be trusted.

Ren Kuo's gaze lingered on Xiao Feng and the others again, especially when he sensed the undisguised aura of high-level lords emanating from them, which made him even more surprised and suspicious.

But he also knew that Xu Feng had a special identity and an outstanding record.

He also had close relationships with Commander-in-Chief Di and Director Gu.

This is not the time to dwell on the details.

"Come with me," Ren Kuo turned around decisively, "Ever since Shadow Blade lost contact, Commander Di and Director Gu have been waiting for you online."

O

The group quickly entered the base.

After passing through layers of security and heavy gates, we arrived at the core command center located deep inside the mountain.

The atmosphere inside the command center was heavy. A huge holographic sand table displayed the enemy and friendly forces situation in the Kunlun Mountains and surrounding areas, with various data streams constantly being refreshed.

Dozens of staff and operators are busy at work.

The central main screen is now lit up, divided into two sections.

On one side was Commander Di's composed face, and on the other side was Gu Cheng's slightly tired but sharp-eyed face.

Upon seeing Xu Feng lead a group of alien lords and the Shadow Blade squad into the command center, a suppressed gasp and gasps immediately filled the room.

Many staff officers instinctively gripped their weapons or adopted defensive stances.

"Silence!" General Ren Kuo shouted, bringing order to the scene. He looked at the screen: "Commander-in-Chief, Director Gu, Xu Feng has arrived."

Commander Di's gaze swept across the screen, landing on Xu Feng, then across Xiao Feng and the others behind him. A barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "It's good that you're alright. We've learned part of what happened at Qingxuan Peak through other channels. Who are these people with you?"

"Former disciples of the Seventh Peak have now abandoned their evil ways and come to follow me."

Hsu Feng's words were concise and to the point.

"Commander-in-chief, to make a long story short, my identity has been exposed, and I have killed the top five peak masters: Qingxuan, Hanxuan, Yuanling, Fushou, and Zhenkai."

The highest-level mountain-sealing formation and manhunt order have been activated at Little Green Sky Mountain. My fate is now irreconcilable with them.

Despite being mentally prepared, a collective gasp still rippled through the command center when Xu Feng personally announced that he had "killed five peak masters" and stirred up chaos at Little Green Sky Mountain!

Even General Ren Kuo couldn't help but twitch his eye.

Five peak masters!

Those are the core combat forces ranked among the top in Little Green Sky Mountain!

Just like that—killed?

Just how strong has Xu Feng become now?!

Commander Di and Gu Cheng on the screen also had solemn expressions.

The news Xu Feng brought was even more shocking than they had anticipated.

"You did the right thing, and you were very decisive," Commander Di said slowly, his tone filled with approval but also a hint of worry. "But in doing so, there is no room for maneuver between Little Azure Sky Mountain and you, and between you and the human race. They will surely retaliate fiercely."

"I know," Xu Feng nodded, "so I suggest that Hidden Dragon Base evacuate immediately."

Abandon all forward outposts in the Kunlun Mountains and consolidate the defensive line.

These words immediately caused an uproar in the command center!

"Evacuate? Abandon the Hidden Dragon Base? How can that be!"

"We've been running this place for many years, putting in countless hours of effort!"

"If we retreat before the battle even begins, where will our morale be?"

The staff officers spoke up one after another, their emotions running high.
