A single sentence caused Luo Chenyi to freeze in place.
As if remembering something, she quickly revealed all she knew: "That's right! I remember a man in black robes appeared then and deliberately lured a large number of human puppets. If not for that, we wouldn't have been surrounded and annihilated by the puppets!"
"Man in black robes?"
Feng Linyuan's brow furrowed slightly. "What man in black robes?"
Feng Ninghe also cast her gaze around at this moment and grunted, "It was Ji Binyu."
These few simple words were enough to cause anger.
Bai Niannian's face turned red with rage. "Him again! There's a saying, 'Scourges linger for a thousand years,' and it's quite true."
It was a pity that Ji Binyu was nowhere to be found.
Si Jianye raised his eyes slightly, a chill flashing within them. "A mere clown, daring to act presumptuously before this seat. Ninghe, rest assured, I will deal with those two for you."
Feng Ninghe, however, gently shook her head at this moment, rejecting his offer. "My grievances with them should be resolved by me personally. I want to avenge the injured citizens of Lin Country."
As the Empress of Lin Country, she had the responsibility and obligation to protect it.
The promise she made would be fulfilled by her personally.
Seeing the determination in her eyes, a hint of tenderness appeared in Si Jianye's cold gaze as he naturally took her hand.
He knew Feng Ninghe's personality well.
Since this woman wanted to resolve her grievances herself, he would let her handle it.
At worst, he would be there to back her up, and nothing would go wrong.
"Are you the King of the Underworld?"
Si Yi walked over from the side, his admiration for the man undisguised. "I've heard of your deeds. I heard you founded Xiyou Continent yourself, recruited many talented individuals, and even destroyed many human puppet dens."
In a short period, Si Jianye had already made a name for himself throughout the Dragon Domain.
The world was filled with curiosity about this man who had appeared out of nowhere.
They all wanted to know what kind of man possessed such capability.
Si Jianye slowly raised his eyes to look at the man before him, his expression unchanged. "I say that all of this is merely a drop in the bucket."
He would destroy human puppet dens to make the eventual confrontation with the human puppet war slightly easier.
These human puppets were scattered throughout the Dragon Domain. If someone deliberately lured them, the Dragon Domain would be overrun.
The dense masses of human puppets would plunge the entire Dragon Domain into eternal damnation.
Si Yi chuckled softly. "My name is Si Yi, and like you, my surname is Si. However, I haven't seen your name on our family genealogy."
His doubt was evident on his face.
Understanding his confusion, Si Jianye lowered his icy gaze and explained in a low voice, "I am from Xuanzhou Continent."
These simple words caused a great stir.
"Xuanzhou Continent?"
Si Yi's eyebrows unconsciously twitched as he fell into thought. "I didn't expect this place to have so many talented individuals."
The number of talented people emerging from Xuanzhou Continent in recent days was already considerable.
Feng Ninghe had broken the record of the Thunder Cloud Tower, and even those around her had either passed the fifth or sixth level.
Now, there was the King of the Underworld from Xiyou Continent.
Wasn't Xuanzhou Continent said to be an insignificant little place?
Why were so many talented individuals emerging from it?
Or had they underestimated Xuanzhou Continent before?
At this moment, the surrounding cultivators also began to discuss amongst themselves.
Pu Yin's eyes involuntarily showed a hint of curiosity. "If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely visit Xuanzhou Continent. I want to see what kind of place it is."
They all believed that Xuanzhou Continent was far inferior to the Dragon Domain.
But now, their perceptions had been overturned.
Xuanzhou Continent also had capable individuals, and they were no less than those in the Dragon Domain.
Feng Ninghe also cast her gaze upon the surrounding cultivators at this moment. "I've made you worry. Since I am safe, you can all rest easy."
Ye Ze smiled. His smile seemed a bit innocent. "Miss Feng, as long as you are safe, that is the best. Nothing else matters."
Si Jianye subconsciously turned to look at Ye Ze, his cold eyes devoid of any extra emotion.
This cold glance exuded an aura that warned others to stay away, sending a shiver down their spines.
Ye Ze shivered involuntarily and forced himself to shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.
Pu Yin generously cupped his hands towards the surrounding cultivators. "We must thank all of you for your help today. Although in the end, we couldn't offer much assistance, we appreciate your intentions."
In a short while, Pu Yin had dispersed all the surrounding cultivators.
The harmonious scene before her made Sheng Linglong's eyes sting. She couldn't help but bite her lip, a trace of unwillingness creeping into her heart.
She had intended to take this opportunity to teach Feng Ninghe a good lesson.
But this woman seemed unharmed, with only a slight lack of energy, showing no other signs of injury.
On the contrary, she herself had been reprimanded by Brother Du.
Thinking of this, Sheng Linglong's teeth itched with anger.
"Linglong."
At this moment, a familiar male voice sounded from behind her.
Du Chang lowered his gaze, his slightly cold eyes turning to her. "You almost made a grave mistake today."
Sheng Linglong's expression became a little anxious. "Brother Du! Isn't Feng Ninghe perfectly fine?"
That woman seemed perfectly fine.
Du Chang looked at her with a slight warning. "That King of the Underworld is no ordinary person. He was able to carve out a bloody path by himself and recruit many talents to his service. You are not someone you can afford to provoke."
Sheng Linglong grumbled, "Brother Du, no matter how powerful he is, didn't he still come from that insignificant little place called Xuanzhou Continent?"
"Linglong!"
Du Chang reprimanded sharply. "Do you know how many academies wanted to recruit the King of the Underworld? His cultivation is far above mine. If something had truly happened today, do you think this matter could have been kept under wraps?"
His scolding words were displeasing.
Sheng Linglong angrily bit her lip. "Brother Du, nothing has happened, has it?"
Her unrepentant demeanor was infuriating.
Du Chang closed his eyes and gently rubbed his temples. "Linglong, from now on, you will be confined to your room to reflect on your mistakes until you understand them. Otherwise, you will remain in your room."
"Brother Du!"
Sheng Linglong became anxious and resorted to acting spoiled, gently shaking Du Chang's sleeve. "Brother Du, you've always doted on me since I was little. I might have made a mistake in this matter, but Feng Ninghe is not blameless either."
Seeing her still stubborn, Du Chang did not give her any more chances to beg for mercy. He flicked his hand, directly shook off her hand, and strode forward, leaving the place.
He had a premonition that the King of the Underworld was far more terrifying than he appeared.
A man who could carve out a bloody path with his bare hands would never be a soft-hearted person.
If this man were to find out that Sheng Linglong had also been involved in this matter, who knew what kind of chaos would ensue...
