This resulted in the Divine Sect’s defenses being significantly weakened, ultimately allowing the Cyan Snake King to conquer them along with others.

Now that they have gained no advantage at the Divine Sect Mansion, and have looted everything valuable there, their attention has shifted to the Dragon Capital Underground Palace.

However, knowing that Jiang Feng has already taken control of the Dragon Capital, and with the fearsome reputation of the Dragon Bone Bow spreading far and wide, they dare not storm in after reaching the South City Gate.

The numbers are increasing day by day.

Furthermore, seeing Jiang Feng doesn’t seem so dominant, they are all itching for action, and some even have thoughts of killing Jiang Feng to seize the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron.

After all, these are Innate Magical Treasures with immense power, as verified by the Divine Sect Disciples, and everyone wants to claim them for themselves!

"Silence!"

A strong, black-robed man in the crowd spoke.

He seemed to be the backbone of this group. As soon as he spoke, everyone shut their mouths, waiting for his command.

"Go back and tell Jiang Feng to leave the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron in the Imperial City, then leave at once, or else, by tomorrow morning, when my uncle, the Blood Sea Immortal Venerable, arrives, he will ensure Jiang Feng is utterly destroyed and his family ruined."

The black-robed man threatened the cultivator sent by Xiao Zhan to deliver the Jade Scroll.

"Yes, please calm down everyone, I will head back immediately."

The middle-aged cultivator said with a fearful expression, trying to appease them.

"Remember, not a single word of my message can be left out."

The black-robed man walked up to the middle-aged cultivator, lightly patting his shoulder.

"Yes, I understand, please rest assured."

The middle-aged cultivator nodded repeatedly, completely oblivious to the actions of the black-robed man’s hand on his shoulder.

"Go!"

The black-robed man waved with a smile.

The middle-aged cultivator fled in a hurry, flying back to the Imperial City. It was only after entering the city that he breathed a sigh of relief, almost scared to death just moments ago.

Inside Jiang Feng’s courtyard.

Xiao Zhan and the middle-aged cultivator came together to see Jiang Feng.

"They have a message for you."

The middle-aged cultivator said, bowing to Jiang Feng.

"Speak."

Jiang Feng noticed something strange in the cultivator’s expression.

"They asked you to leave the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron, then leave immediately, or else when the Blood Sea Immortal Venerable arrives tomorrow morning, you will be... utterly destroyed and your family ruined."

The middle-aged cultivator mustered the courage to speak.

As he spoke towards the end, his confidence faltered, but upon seeing Jiang Feng’s unchanged expression, he cautiously finished the statement.

Jiang Feng frowned.

He pressed a palm towards the middle-aged cultivator.

Enveloping the middle-aged cultivator in spiritual power.

"It was their words, not... boom."

The middle-aged cultivator was startled, fearing Jiang Feng thought he was defying him, but before he could finish speaking, a talismanic force exploded from within him, blowing him apart and obliterating him completely.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng detected the anomaly in advance, using spiritual power to contain the explosion and its aftermath.

Otherwise, everyone present would have been harmed, especially Xiao Zhan standing by the side, who, despite his strong Martial Refining Body, would be gravely injured by the shockwave.

"Ah... this..."

Everyone was taken aback.

Jiang Feng, his face darkened, compressed the middle-aged cultivator’s remains into a small flesh ball and tossed it to Xiao Zhan.

"Immortal Master, what... what do you plan to do?"

Holding the small flesh ball, Xiao Zhan asked fearfully, knowing this was a warning, and if Jiang Feng fled in panic, the Dragon Capital would truly be doomed.

"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit."

Jiang Feng slammed the table.

They had pushed him too far; even if he could not win, he had to try, and if it failed, he would flee.

He also knew that with so many people gathered outside the South City Gate, afraid to enter the Dragon Capital, they feared his strength and the Dragon Bone Bow. Should he retreat repeatedly, even if he fled with Han Dong away from the Dragon Capital, it might not end well.

Because he would never leave the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron behind, gifting them to the Blood Sea Loose Cultivators.

And withdrawing without doing anything would signal weakness in their eyes, and they would not easily relent.

"Are you going out to meet them?"

Han Dong asked nervously, worried Jiang Feng might take a risk.

"No, first let this sword go and meet them."

Jiang Feng summoned the Red Dust Sword.

This sword was a low-level magical artifact given to him by the Second Prince to win him over.

He had carried it with him all these years.

Now that he had cultivated the Sword Control Technique to Great Perfection, the Red Dust Sword could finally prove useful.

Why not use the Rusted Iron Sword obtained from the Underground Palace?

Because Jiang Feng was not yet able to refine it.

"I want to see what kind of skills they have that would force me to leave behind the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron and flee overnight."

"Go!"

With this thought, Jiang Feng used the Sword Control Technique to maneuver the Red Dust Sword, transforming it into a red sword light, and launched it towards the South City Gate.

His spiritual sense accompanied it, covering the area.

He quickly found the group.

These people were discussing what Jiang Feng’s reaction would be after seeing the middle-aged cultivator self-destruct, whether he would be scared to flee, and some were even eager to storm in and begin a massacre in the Dragon Capital. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Young Master, if Jiang Feng was killed by your Blood Burst Talisman, wouldn’t it have been a wasted effort when the Immortal Venerable arrives?"

A sly-looking cultivator flattered.

"Even if he wasn’t killed, he would be injured by the Blood Burst Talisman, Young Master. Why don’t we attack now? The Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron will be yours; we only wish to enter the Underground Palace."

Someone instigated.

"Charge in!"

"Charge in!"

...

Everyone responded in unison.

"Everyone, don’t rush! Both the Cyan Snake King and my uncle said Jiang Feng is not simple. Let’s wait for my uncle to come over tomorrow and see what he says first."
