BOOM!

Suddenly, the banquet hall of the Ten Cauldrons Sect burst into fierce flames before exploding, scattering bricks and tiles in all directions like a meteor shower!

It wasn't just the banquet hall.

The Ten Cauldrons Sect's Hall of Enlightenment, Lingbao Pavilion, disciple dormitories, and many other locations also caught fire and exploded!

Disciples, engulfed in flames, rolled on the ground, howling in agony.

The spirit birds kept by the Ten Cauldrons Sect flew about like headless flies, desperately seeking a safe haven.

The firelight illuminated half the sky.

The entire Ten Cauldrons Sect looked like the end of days.

"You... who exactly are you?"

"And what kind of sorcery did you just use?"

Fu Yong was completely petrified. He believed all of this was the result of Su Xuan's magic, a power so terrifying he had never witnessed its like in his entire life. It was certainly not something a human could achieve—the might was too horrific, the scope too vast! This spell could annihilate an entire sect!

Could Su Xuan be an incarnation of Ancestor Meng?

"My brother! A-Lian, this is my brother!" The Third Elder, however, was thrilled. He clutched A-Lian's hand tightly, shaking it as he looked toward Su Xuan. Pride filled his face, and his heart suddenly relaxed. With Su Xuan's earth-shattering move, he and A-Lian could escape unscathed!

"Yes, your brother is truly formidable!" A gratified expression spread across A-Lian's face, relieved that the Third Elder had such a powerful and loyal friend. In contrast, the narrow-minded Fu Yong didn't even have a single reliable brother to count on.

"Ugh..." Su Xuan himself was stunned, unable to understand what was happening.

I know the limits of my ultimate move. Taking care of Fu Yong and the other experts is no problem, but destroying the entire Ten Cauldrons Sect is absolutely impossible! At least, not while I'm in the Longevity Realm. Besides, I deliberately held back some of my strength so I wouldn't be too weak to escape afterward! So why is it so powerful now? I'm certain this horrific scene at the Ten Cauldrons Sect wasn't caused by my ultimate move!

"Fu Yong, do you want to know who he is?"

Just then, an elegant figure appeared without warning on a rooftop behind Fu Yong. The man carried a longsword on his back, and against the backdrop of the firelight, he looked almost otherworldly.

"He's one of us from Suifeng Immortal Mountain," the newcomer said, pointing at Su Xuan. "I just didn't expect to have company on this mission."

"Feng Zhengyuan..." Su Xuan looked up at the man, his lips moving slightly.

Yes, the man was none other than Feng Zhengyuan, whom he had encountered in Hua Shui City. Back then, Feng Zhengyuan had suspected he wasn't really from the Immortal Mountain and clashed with him, though they eventually made peace.

But what is Feng Zhengyuan doing here? And what mission is he talking about? But one thing is clear now: Feng Zhengyuan set the fire at the Ten Cauldrons Sect!

"Fu Yong, Suifeng Immortal Mountain has come to seek justice for the Phoenix of Nirvana!" Feng Zhengyuan didn't explain further. He immediately drew his longsword, leaped down, and swung at Fu Yong.

Already wounded, Fu Yong retreated in panic, screaming to his subordinates who could still move, "Stop him, stop him!"

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Feng Zhengyuan swung his longsword, unleashing a wide arc of sword light that sliced those attempting to block him neatly in half! The next second, he appeared before Fu Yong.

SCHLICK!

Without a word, he thrust his longsword directly into Fu Yong's body, the tip protruding from his back. The wound was not fatal.

"Fu Yong, you've got some nerve, daring to steal from my Suifeng Immortal Mountain?" Feng Zhengyuan held the sword in one hand and grasped Fu Yong's neck with the other, his voice fierce. "Tell me, where have you hidden the Nirvana Phoenix?"

"I... I don't know!" Fu Yong's mouth streamed with blood, his words slurred. "It... it wasn't me!"

SCHLICK!

SCHLICK!

Feng Zhengyuan was extremely brutal. He retracted his sword only to stab Fu Yong several more times, still avoiding lethal blows, before demanding again, "Where have you hidden the Nirvana Phoenix? Speak, or the next thrust will take your life!"

"I..." Facing such a ruthless man, Fu Yong crumbled. He struggled to turn his head and cast his gaze on A-Lian. "It was all her! It has nothing to do with me!"

CRACK!

It seemed Feng Zhengyuan never intended to let Fu Yong live. With a flick of his wrist, he twisted Fu Yong's head one hundred and eighty degrees. Then, as if discarding trash, he threw the body to the ground. Sword dripping with blood, he walked toward A-Lian.

As he passed Su Xuan, Feng Zhengyuan remarked, "Senior Brother Su, I had no idea our Suifeng Immortal Mountain possessed such an astonishing technique!"

Su Xuan curled his lip. "Now you know." He was very weak at that moment, and the Bodhisattva's phantom had long since dissipated.

"Don't come any closer!" the Third Elder shouted, quickly stepping in front of A-Lian to protect her. "Or I'll fight you to the death!"

A-Lian, however, didn't seem afraid at all. She looked up at the night sky and muttered inexplicably, "Karma... it's karma!"

"You realize it's karma now?" Feng Zhengyuan ignored the Third Elder, his gaze fixed on A-Lian behind him. "What were you thinking back then? The Nirvana Phoenix is one of the three great spiritual birds of my Suifeng Immortal Mountain. Your petty Ten Cauldrons Sect dared to steal it. Do you have a death wish? Speak! Where is the Nirvana Phoenix?"

Feng Zhengyuan had actually arrived at the Ten Cauldrons Sect long ago. He had been secretly searching for the so-called Nirvana Phoenix but hadn't found so much as a feather. Finding the Nirvana Phoenix at the Ten Cauldrons Sect was his only mission on this trip.

"Dead!" A-Lian's face radiated a death wish as she broke free from the Third Elder's protection, yelling at Feng Zhengyuan. "Your Nirvana Phoenix is dead! Kill me too! I haven't wanted to live for a long time!"

The Third Elder once again pulled A-Lian behind him, his face stern as he scolded her, "Now that you have me, don't you dare wish for death!"

"Hmph!" Feng Zhengyuan had no desire to watch the star-crossed lovers' drama. He swung his sword to strike. His movements suggested he intended to pierce the Third Elder first and then A-Lian behind him—even more ruthless than his methods with Fu Yong!

The Third Elder used all his strength, swinging the short sword in his hand in an attempt to deflect Feng Zhengyuan's longsword!

But just as his short sword was about to collide with the longsword, something else unexpected happened!

BOOM!

A huge, ethereal hand—identical to the one from the Bodhisattva's phantom—suddenly descended from the sky! It slapped down directly on Feng Zhengyuan's head!

AARGH!

THUD!

Feng Zhengyuan only let out a scream before the colossal hand slammed him to the ground, embedding him deep into the earth in a spread-eagled position.

The Third Elder and A-Lian immediately turned their gaze to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan still sat cross-legged on the ground, panting heavily, but his hand was raised high. Clearly, he had conjured that gigantic, ethereal hand.

In his shock, the Third Elder's mouth moved. "Brother Su, you're incredible!"

Su Xuan replied, "I had no choice."

Taking out Feng Zhengyuan with a single palm strike... I've just made an enemy of the entire Suifeng Immortal Mountain.
