Hearing Master Lei Xia's words, both Zhang Tianyang and Master Beichen found her reasoning very sound.
In their current predicament, ensuring their group's safety and leaving Spiritual Tooth Island was of utmost priority.
As for some of their possessions, if absolutely necessary, they would be abandoned.
But as Master Lei Xia said, would the other side really be willing to just let them leave?
As they were pondering and discussing ways to break the deadlock, the array restrictions of their courtyard were suddenly triggered.
The next moment, without any warning, those restrictions were violently broken by someone.
Soon after, more than ten cultivators in Shahe Gang attire swaggered in.
Seeing this scene, Master Lei Xia, Master Beichen, and Zhang Tianyang, all immediately wore grim expressions.
Their gazes instantly fixed on a middle-aged man with a scar and stubble on his face.
"Feng Zizhou!"
Master Lei Xia coldly spat out these three words.
The scarred, stubbled man referred to as Feng Zizhou couldn't help but smile coldly.
He eyed Master Lei Xia, Master Beichen, and the others, and unceremoniously said:
"Our purpose in coming this time is singular, to demand that you all join our Shahe Gang."
"Hmm...?"
Upon hearing Feng Zizhou's words, Master Lei Xia and the others couldn't help but narrow their eyes.
The next moment, Zhang Tianyang seemed to realize something, and his face turned ashen.
Master Lei Xia and Master Beichen noticed his odd expression.
However, before they could ask, Zhang Tianyang transmitted a message directly:
"Senior Sister Lei Xia, Senior Brother Beichen, it seems the other side intends to tear off the mask with us.
Earlier, I learned that any cultivator joining the Shahe Gang must let that person plant a restriction on them."
"Plant a restriction?"
Upon hearing Zhang Tianyang's words, Master Lei Xia and Master Beichen knew that today's issue would not end peacefully.
With this in mind, neither of them were the type to hesitate in ruthlessness.
Since the other side wanted a fish-to-net confrontation, they thought they should strike first.
Master Lei Xia transmitted to Master Beichen and Zhang Tianyang:
"Junior Brother Beichen, Senior Brother Zhang, soon I will make the first move.
When the time comes, the rest of you should rush out first.
No matter the ultimate outcome, we mustn't fall into the other's hands."
After speaking, she did not wait for their response and flicked her hand.
A gourd suddenly appeared in her hand.
It was none other than Ji Haoyuan's God-slaying Treasure Gourd.
However, before he left, he had handed this God-slaying Treasure Gourd to Master Lei Xia.
Inside it was the God-slaying Treasure Light, condensed from numerous Nourishing Spirit Items.
There were a full three beams.
Each beam nearly possessed the power to instantly kill a Nascent Soul cultivator's Divine Soul.
Even late-stage or peak Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't withstand the current God-slaying Treasure Light from this gourd.
Unless they possessed a fifth-level Protective Treasure, specific to guarding the Primordial Spirit.
But such items, even for a Divinity Transformation sovereign, were extremely precious.
Feng Zizhou certainly couldn't have one.
Therefore.
As Master Lei Xia took out the God-slaying Treasure Gourd and activated the God-slaying Treasure Light,
Feng Zizhou, who had just proposed they join the Shahe Gang, suddenly found his head severed from his neck.
His entire aura instantly vanished.
Even his Nascent Soul was obliterated under that God-slaying Treasure Light.
This sudden change left not only his followers but also Master Beichen and Zhang Tianyang momentarily stunned.
After all, Feng Zizhou had a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.
You took out a gourd and released a beam of treasure light.
And Feng Zizhou fell just like that.
Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
"Junior Brother Beichen, Senior Brother Zhang, why are you still in a daze? Hurry, take everyone and leave!"
The others might be dumbfounded, but Master Lei Xia wasn't.
She was well aware of Ji Haoyuan's treasure's potency.
It might not be useful against a Divinity Transformation sovereign,
but against current Nascent Soul cultivators, it was nearly a sure kill.
Almost no one could withstand a strike from the God-slaying Treasure Light.
The only trouble was that just two beams of the God-slaying Treasure Light remained in the gourd.
Once used up, they would be plunged into an exceedingly dangerous situation.
Therefore.
They couldn't hesitate for even a moment, needing to seize every opportunity to escape rapidly.
At that moment, Master Beichen and Zhang Tianyang also snapped back to reality.
Without a word, they immediately led the remainder of the group racing out of the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Master Lei Xia once again raised the God-slaying Treasure Gourd.
Her action shocked the followers of Feng Zizhou.
They hurriedly dodged, fearing the scene they just witnessed would happen to them too.
"Master Wen, what should we do now?"
Seeing Master Lei Xia and her group departing, a blue-haired youth approached a slender-eyed man, asking nervously.
Clearly, they all now realized the gravity of the situation.
Feng Zizhou was slain here.
Most importantly, Feng Zizhou was related to a Vice Island Master of Spiritual Tooth Island.
If this matter reached that vice island master's ears, and they failed to capture the others, each and every one of them would be in deep trouble.
Master Wen obviously also realized the severity of the issue.
His eyes suddenly turned exceedingly cold and profound.
Deep within his gaze, there was even a trace of greed.
He coldly said, "Rest assured, Chief Feng had already made arrangements before coming.
Those people definitely won't escape."
Upon hearing Master Wen's words, the remaining individuals seemed to realize something.
The blue-haired youth's eyes lit up and he said, "Master Wen, are you saying?"
"Exactly."
Master Wen nodded.
"They might have escaped from our hands, but don't forget, the entire Shahe Gang isn't just us few.
Outside, quite a few more are waiting for them.
I don't believe that woman's gourd can continuously release such soul-destroying treasure light.
When the other party's trump cards are exhausted, that will naturally be the time for us to act."
It's undeniable that Master Wen's idea was flawless.
Because by then, Master Lei Xia and her group had already been surrounded once more by dozens of figures.
The leading four among them were also of the Nascent Soul Realm.
