"Hmph, who asked you to have such a formidable son-in-law, allowing you to become the clan leader and even obtain the inheritance of the Witch God? If we don’t eradicate you, wouldn’t our Eight Fortresses forever be suppressed by your Phoenix Village?"
Miao Cheng coldly snorted.
"Aren’t you afraid of the punishment from the Miao Clan’s elders?"
Lin Fang’s face darkened as he shouted.
"Hmph, since we dared to make a move, we have long had a way to deal with the three elders!"
Miao Cheng said with a cold expression.
"Miao Cheng, that’s quite the audacity you have there. Are you intending to rebel against the Miao Clan?"
A voice as deep as a bell suddenly exploded, and three terrifying presences descended. The three Miao Clan elders appeared, their faces grave and emanating overwhelming authority.
"We pay respects to the three elders!"
Lin Fang bowed and greeted the three elders, while the other seven people with Miao Cheng, upon seeing these high-ranking elders of the Miao Clan, all showed a change in expression, their demeanor carrying a trace of instinctive fear.
"Honorable elders, Miao Cheng has bewitched the other chieftains into joining forces to kill me and destroy Phoenix Village. Please, elders, decide our fate!"
Lin Fang urgently said to the three elders.
"Miao Cheng, you really do have some nerve!"
The three elders looked at Miao Cheng with icy expressions, and a fearsome power swept out from them, causing Miao Cheng’s face to turn pale and his body to tremble as if he would be crushed to his knees by their formidable power.
At that moment, two figures suddenly appeared, a thick aura of death emanating from them. They were the two figures clad in black robes.
Upon their arrival, they scattered the elder’s imposing aura.
"Who are you? How dare you intrude upon our Miao Clan!"
The three elders fixed a deadly stare at the two figures in black robes.
Seeing the two figures in black robes, Miao Cheng’s expression relaxed slightly.
"From today onwards, the Miao Clan will become part of our Corpse Sect, serving as slaves to the Corpse Sect!"
One of the figures in black robes declared in a deep voice, causing everyone’s expression to change, including Miao Cheng and the several fortress chieftains.
Just then, outside the Miao Clan territory, groups of figures clad in black, with grim faces and auras of death about them, weapons in hand, charged into the Miao lands.
Each one emitted a terrifying presence, all of them masters of the Qi Condensation Realm, and the intense aura of death they radiated was enough to keep people at bay.
Hearing this name, the brows of the three Miao Clan elders furrowed slightly. Being isolated from the world and residing within Miaojiang, they were unfamiliar with outside affairs and did not know what the Corpse Sect meant, but the words of these figures in black robes ignited the rage of the three elders.
"Hmph, you dream of enslaving the Miao Clan, think again!"
The three of them shouted in unison and charged towards the two Corpse Sect experts. Soon, five mighty figures clashed in battle, setting off waves of a terrifying fight.
"Now that you have all betrayed the Miao Clan and wish to continue living, kill Lin Fang."
Miao Cheng looked at the other chieftains and coldly spat out those words, prompting them to charge at Lin Fang once again.
"Little Lin girl, better surrender gracefully!"
On the other side, Miao Jiang, leading his men, had Lin Feng surrounded, her expression looking extremely grim.
"Miao Jiang, you bastard!"
Lin Feng shouted angrily.
Miao Jiang ordered coldly, and the group around him rushed forward.
A streak of golden light shot out from Lin Feng’s hand, and the Golden Armor Gu charged forth, instantly taking down several of the attackers.
Miao Jiang surged with True Qi to form a protective shield and charged towards Lin Feng.
Tie Zhen’s figure suddenly appeared, standing in front of Lin Feng. He was struck in the chest by Miao Jiang’s palm and was killed on the spot.
A gush of fresh blood sprayed from Tie Zhen as he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing Tie Zhen fall in death, Lin Feng couldn’t help but cry out.
Miao Jiang reached out to grab Lin Feng.
Just then, a terrifying force descended from the heavens, and a fist appeared abruptly before Miao Jiang. It smashed into his chest with unstoppable force, sending his body flying backwards.
Miao Jiang spat out blood and fell to the ground, convulsing. His eyes were wide open, and his chest was caved in, his internal organs completely shattered by the fierce punch, instantly killing him.
Lin Feng looked at the figure before her, calling out excitedly—the one who intervened was none other than Xiao Yifeng, who had returned from the Witch God Temple.
"It’s okay now, don’t worry, I’m here!"
Xiao Yifeng patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, while she looked up at him with eyes shining brightly.
Miao Cheng, who was attacking Lin Fang, saw his own son die miserably and let out a pain-filled, wrathful shout. He rushed over and tried to lift Miao Jiang, calling out repeatedly, but the latter had no response, his eyes wide open, dead beyond doubt.
"Damn boy, I will kill you!"
Miao Cheng watched Xiao Yifeng with a furious expression, shouting as if his heart was tearing apart, and charged towards Xiao Yifeng with a swift motion.
Seeing Miao Cheng, who was at the Entering Saint Realm level, rushing towards him, Xiao Yifeng appeared very calm, showing no sign of tension.
A terrifying divine might descended, forcing Miao Cheng to kneel on the ground instantly. He spat out blood, his face pale, his body trembling, as if a great mountain was pressing down on him, distorting his features into a fearsome grimace.
An elder, wearing bizarre garments, his face painted with peculiar patterns and wielding a scepter, appeared at the scene. He was the Presiding Elder of the Witch God Temple.
Lin Fang, who had been repelled, saw the Presiding Elder and hurriedly called out.
"Greetings to the Presiding Elder!"
The three Miao Clan Elders, who were battling two figures in black robes, also stopped and looked at the Presiding Elder with respectful cries.
In a moment, everyone present turned their gaze to the Presiding Elder, their eyes flashing with a different light.
"Betrayers of the Miao Clan die!"
The Presiding Elder spoke with an indifferent voice, and with a wave of his scepter, a burst of terrifying power shot forth.
In the blink of an eye, Miao Cheng, Lei Mu, and the rest of the Miao Village Chieftains were effortlessly wiped out, having no power to resist and were killed off.
They probably never imagined that their deaths would be so swift and abrupt, completely unprepared.
With the eight Chieftains of the Fortresses casually slain, the Presiding Elder’s expression remained placid, unaffected, while Lin Fang and Lin Feng showed utterly shocked expressions.
The two figures in black robes also looked at the Presiding Elder with a grave expression.
