"You know what? Even if they knew who I am, it wouldn't have mattered, because to tell anything they have to live, which I doubt they will be able to..." While saying this, Lin Feng put his hand on his mask. "As for the Yin Yang Harmony Sect..."

He took off his mask, and Zhao Lei's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the absolute genius of the Yin Yang Harmony Sect. "You think they will do anything to me for killing you even just for fun?"

The others weren't able to see Lin Feng's face as they were behind him. Not to mention, his first sentence was still echoing in their ears—he had clearly said that he wouldn't let them live. They were frozen in despair.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, smirked. Putting his mask back on, he sidestepped and dodged as the beast passed by him. Since Zhao Lei was right in front of him, frozen in shock, he got hit by the beast. And since they were already close to the edge...

"Anghhhhh... NOOOOOOOOO..." Zhao Lei groaned at the impact, and when he saw the horrifying pit beneath him, he screamed in absolute despair before plunging down.

They all heard his scream echoing for a while before it was abruptly cut off by something.

Everyone paled at the mere thought of what was beneath that pit.

"Se-Senior, you were joking, right?" Zeng Rong asked with a trembling voice.

After seeing the deaths of Zhao Lei and Luo Ming, all of them could only think about their own ends.

Lin Feng turned around and looked at Zeng Rong. "Was I? Actually, how about this—if anyone among you can take a heavenly oath that they weren't hoping to use me as a distraction to toss the leopard into the pit, I will spare them."

Everyone's blood ran cold. None of them could take that heavenly oath because they truly had thought of it. They finally understood the mistake they had made—a mistake that was going to erase their existence.

"Do it fast, I don't have much time to waste. If you can't take the oath, then you will die. Your pleas won't affect me, so spare me of that and die with dignity at least..." After saying that, he began walking toward them, while the beast attacked him again.

"I, Bai—"

"You don't need to do it. Just move aside from there."

Bai Lian was surprised. She truly hadn't thought of using him as bait, and it seemed this masked cultivator could easily discern that.

The others looked at one another. Zeng Rong gritted his teeth and looked up. "Senior, can we attack him?"

Since Lin Feng was standing very near the beast, their attacks would land on him too, so Zeng Rong decided to ask the spirit consciousness about it.

The spirit consciousness was watching everything in the whole inheritance site, but its main focus was still on Lin Feng, so it immediately responded.

A white orb, smaller than before, appeared above them. "Sure, you can—but he can also do the same. If you agree, then nod. In the end, this safe zone was created to protect against betrayals. I don't care if you want to fight each other mutually."

Zeng Rong looked at the others, and they all nodded hopelessly. They doubted they could win against Lin Feng, but it was still better than dying without doing anything.

Lin Feng nodded, amused internally. "I don't have a problem with that. If I had known about it earlier, I wouldn't have killed Zhao Lei using the leopard."

"Alright then, the only person who hasn't nodded is this woman. So, for her, the rules of the safe zone will still exist, but for the rest of you, they won't. Now, even if you call me, I won't come. Goodbye." The spirit consciousness disappeared.

Zeng Rong looked at Lin Feng. Although he had asked permission to attack, he was still very skeptical about it. If possible, he wanted to ask for forgiveness. Surely, there had to be some way to earn it, right?

"Se-Senior, can you really not forgive—"

"As expected from a cowardly sect like yours, their disciples are cowards too..." While speaking, Lin Feng disappeared, and when he reappeared, his hand was already gripping Zeng Rong's neck. The grip was so strong that Zeng Rong couldn't even whimper, much less speak.

"Let me tell you one more thing. I consider your sect my enemy. So I would have killed you even if you hadn't made any grave mistake. Till now, I have killed more than twenty cultivators from your sect, and they were just cultivating peacefully in the outer region."

Zeng Rong's eyes filled with tears as he felt a suffocating pressure around his throat.

Bai Lian was stunned after hearing his declaration. She finally understood why he had gone to the outer area and come to her cave—he was searching for cultivators to kill.

A chill ran down her spine. If she—

"Instead of begging for forgiveness, you should have asked me politely how you wished to die. I might have considered your choice, but now I will choose one for you." While speaking, Lin Feng began walking toward the edge of the slab, dragging Zeng Rong along.

Zeng Rong struggled desperately, but nothing worked. He didn't want to die in that unknown abyss.

He steeled his heart and decided to commit suicide by detonating his own core. If by chance the masked cultivator wasn't able to move away in time, he would definitely take him down with him, because the destruction of one's core was the most powerful attack a cultivator could unleash within his realm.

Too bad, when Zeng Rong decided to detonate, Lin Feng's instincts tingled with danger. He immediately understood what Zeng Rong was trying to do. "Sigh, at least you aren't too much of a coward to take your own life."

Lin Feng applied a bit more strength in his hand and threw Zeng Rong into the pit, retreating at the same time.

Zeng Rong closed his eyes in acceptance of his death as his core began to detonate. His stomach glowed intensly for a single breath, and—

BOOOOMMMMMM!
