"All personnel of the Bright Temple branch, kill without mercy!"
The cold, emotionless voice came from the man leading the group, who was none other than Lin Feng, Heavenly King of the Underworld Palace, and currently the strongest among them.
"War God realm expert!"
Fili felt Lin Feng's undisguised pressure, his face turned ashen, and his heart sank. His first thought was that he was finished. However, when his gaze fell upon the elegant figure beside Lin Feng, his pupils constricted sharply.
"Leng Feiyan, you... you actually??"
Fili tried to speak, but he sensed the aura Leng Feiyan was subtly exuding. "The War God realm... you actually broke through to the War God realm, this is impossible!!"
Seeing Leng Feiyan, Fili looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Unbelievable!
Yes, Fili could not believe, nor accept what he was seeing. Three years, merely three years. He knew that Leng Feiyan's strength was less than his three years ago, yet after meeting again, that woman had reached a level he could only look up to.
That traitor of the Bright Temple had actually entered the War God realm. This meant that Leng Feiyan's strength here was at least comparable to a Four-Winged Angel, someone he could not deal with. Furthermore, beside that bitch Leng Feiyan, there was an expert in the War God realm whose strength was even more terrifying than hers.
"Escape!"
Fili did not hesitate for a moment, choosing to flee the scene immediately. Before leaving, he even used the bewildered Meng Zan as a human shield, tossing him towards Lin Feng and Leng Feiyan, attempting to stall for time to escape, even if it was just for a second.
However, clearly.
He greatly overestimated his own strength and underestimated the might of War God realm experts.
With a 'bang'.
Before Lin Feng could even make a move, Leng Feiyan had already precisely plunged a dagger into Meng Zan's heart, piercing it instantly. His eyes widened in disbelief. Before his death, he could not fathom that his respected Lord Fili would treat him like this.
Even Meng Zan could hear the sound of his heart shattering!
It was a pity that, by this point, he had already become a rapidly cooling corpse.
"Chii~"
Fili had fled more than ten meters when, just as he was secretly rejoicing, a sharp edge flashed. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, followed by Lin Feng appearing before him.
Blood splattered. Fili, filled with intense unwillingness and disbelief, his consciousness rapidly dissipated. He clearly could not believe that the gap between him and a War God realm expert was so vast. He had seen Four-Winged Angels of the Bright Temple in action before, and none of them were this terrifying.
Before his death, Fili realized that the Bright Temple had an enemy whose combat power was comparable to a peak Four-Winged Angel. His intuition told him that only a Six-Winged Angel of the Bright Temple could defeat this person.
"Bright Temple!!!"
Lin Feng did not even glance at Fili's corpse, as he considered him merely a small fry. However, this scene caused the mouths of many elite members of the Underworld Palace to twitch, and their eyelids to jump uncontrollably.
My goodness!
Is this the true strength of Heavenly King Lin Feng? So strong!!
That was a Two-Winged Angel of the Bright Temple, a being only one step away from the War God realm, just like Heavenly King Feiyan before.
From this, one could see how terrifying Heavenly King Lin Feng's strength was!
His eyes emitted rays of sharp light. "One day, I will leave no one alive in the Bright Temple!"
A terrifying killing intent permeated the air. At this moment, a wanted elite of the Underworld Palace approached. "Heavenly King Lin Feng, we have killed a total of 500 enemies, with no casualties on our side!"
"En."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Feng reined in his aura. "Withdraw!"
As Lin Feng's voice fell, his figure had already disappeared from the scene. Seeing Lin Feng's icy demeanor, Leng Feiyan couldn't help but shudder. The Bright Temple was digging its own grave, and one day it would face destruction.
The reason for this prediction was that although Heavenly King Lin Feng was now comparable to a peak Four-Winged Angel, she understood very well that Heavenly King Lin Feng could not even withstand a single move from their Palace Lord.
This suggested!
The Palace Lord's strength might not even be matched by a Six-Winged Angel. Conservatively estimating, the Palace Lord's strength should be comparable to at least a peak Six-Winged Angel.
And that level likely surpassed the War God realm. She was truly curious about the Palace Lord's... what realm was it?
One hour later.
At a certain location on the northern border of Bestar.
Lin Feng, Leng Feiyan, and Baili Wushuang, these three, gazed at the beautiful scenery below the cliff. On the other side of the cliff, about ten miles away, lay the Mixi Duchy, which was coveting the Bestar Duchy.
"The Palace Lord has an order."
Baili Wushuang looked at Leng Feiyan with a complex expression. "Heavenly King Feiyan, the Palace Lord instructs you to immediately proceed to the Duke's Mansion in Bestar City and take charge of all security matters."
"Furthermore, the Palace Lord also wants you to purge spies within Bestar City and across the entire nation. Discover one case, execute on the spot without reporting."
Hearing Baili Wushuang's words, Lin Feng's eyes flickered with a hint of brilliance. The Palace Lord's move was to perform a complete overhaul of the Bestar Duchy.
"The Palace Lord also said that if you encounter any hidden forces that are too strong, the Underworld Palace will cooperate fully. If necessary, you may notify the Palace Lord, and the Palace Lord will personally intervene."
"Hiss..."
Hearing Baili Wushuang's words, Leng Feiyan gasped. Purging spies, full cooperation from the Underworld Palace, and even the Palace Lord's personal intervention if necessary. This... was an incredibly arduous and important mission.
"It seems the Palace Lord has high hopes for Bestar's future."
Lin Feng murmured, gazing in the direction of the Mixi Duchy. "Heavenly King Feiyan, you must not let down the Palace Lord's expectations."
"If you encounter any problems you cannot solve, feel free to inform me and Heavenly King Wushuang. We, along with everyone in the Underworld Palace, will fully assist you."
"But..."
"Why me?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Feiyan smiled bitterly. In terms of strength, Heavenly King Lin Feng was significantly stronger than her. In terms of intelligence and balancing various interests, Baili Wushuang was much better than her.
Hearing Leng Feiyan's question, Lin Feng and Baili Wushuang exchanged glances, then their gazes fell on Leng Feiyan.
"If there are no other reasons, it's probably because you are a woman."
Lin Feng mused for a moment. Baili Wushuang added, "And a stunning beauty, at that."
Leng Feiyan, "Uh..."
Hearing their rare teasing remarks, Leng Feiyan rolled her eyes at them, her face inexplicably flushing slightly.
"Heavenly King Feiyan, do you think you might become the Palace Lord's wife in the near future??" Baili Wushuang said, sighing as he appraised Leng Feiyan's beauty and figure, finding her a pleasure to behold.
"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about."
Leng Feiyan's face reddened further, but her eyes became somewhat distant. "The Palace Lord is a person of deep emotions. I believe you all know this better than I do. Although the Palace Lord meets all my conditions for a partner, I understand very well that the Palace Lord only loves Luo Tianyi in this lifetime."
"Our Palace Lord's wife can only be Luo Tianyi, isn't that right?"
Hearing Leng Feiyan's words, Lin Feng and Baili Wushuang exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. This analysis was spot on. At this moment, however, the three of them were unaware of what kind of entity the Bestar Duchy would become in the not-too-distant future.
