The Way of The Dao

"Umh!" Li Fengyuan groaned painfully as she felt as if a mighty mountain fell on her before flying off as she was hit, spitting out mouthfuls of blood as she felt her organs twisted and torn to pieces.

An explosion covered the stage and kicked up some dust, preventing her from seeing what was happening on the scene.

Li Fengyuan thunderously fell off the platform near Ling Tian; she did not let go of her sword, but everyone could see that it was badly cracked and would break at any moment with a simple touch.

"Patriarch Feng! What does all this mean?!"

The city lord's anger swept through the place as he shouted towards the stage.

As everyone took notice and the dust flared, the crowd was shocked to see Feng Rao supporting Feng Xuan on the stage. But what surprised them more was that Feng Xuan was injured! He had blood on his chest!

"Xuan'er!" Feng Rao looked worriedly at his son who was suffering from the pain as he leaned on him.

"I'm fine, father." Feng Xuan spoke faintly with a grimace of pain. Feng Rao quickly gave him a medicinal pill to start his recovery.

Everyone was in shock, thinking about how Feng Xuan could have been injured if everyone clearly witnessed that Li Fengyuan's sword fell short of touching him.

"Feng Rao!"

Patriarch Li's voice was heard as well.

Feng Rao ignored the voices of the others and looked at Li Fengyuan barely able to sit on the ground, without the most strength to stand up.

"You dare to hurt my son! You are seeking death!" Feng Rao roared furiously. A woman had dared to hurt his son? That was unacceptable!

Li Fengyuan did not back down from Feng Rao's gaze. But her gaze contained a trace of satisfaction as she saw the wound on Feng Xuan, as if she was content to have injured him and had no problem dying right now.

"Feng Rao! You dare to touch Yuan'er you will deal with me!"

Patriarch Li's voice was heard again. It seemed that he was now willing to fight for Li Fengyuan!

"Feng Rao. This action of yours is unacceptable." The city lord spoke coldly and said, "This is a tournament where everyone can get hurt. That the Li family's girl could come to this point shows that she is as outstanding as your son, but you should not have interrupted!"

A tension spread throughout the place!

The city lord looked coldly at Feng Rao, annoyed at his behavior. But Feng Rao never averted his gaze from Li Fengyuan, wanting to kill her.

"Have you no shame, old man?"

A familiar voice was heard again, drawing everyone's gaze.

Feng Rao scowled in annoyance and finally shifted his gaze to Ling Tian, who had spoken.

Li Fengyuan was also surprised to see that Ling Tian was behind her, less than five meters away.

Ling Tian looked with indifference and a touch of ridicule at Feng Rao. In this world, sneak attacks don't matter, in the end what weighs the most is the true power and strength that can crush others.

Although he interrupted this battle to save Feng Xuan, Ling Tian still could not help but disdain him.

"What is he doing? Can't he see that the patriarch of the Feng family is angry? Is he stupid?"

"He thinks that because he was the former genius, nothing will be done to him!"

"It's a pity that he's a prince only in appearance..."

"What a disappointment."

People shook their heads, sensing the contempt in Ling Tian's look and words.

"This doesn't concern you. You are neither of the Feng family nor of the Li family, so you shouldn't meddle."

But to everyone's surprise, Feng Rao responded this time, shocking the others.

Feng Rao was not afraid of Ling Tian, but of Feng Xiao who was standing beside him. A young Nascent Soul realm expert!

That and not adding Xuanyuan Ling who was probably at the Golden Core realm.

But these words also made several people who quickly understood his meaning frown.

Their gazes fell on Ling Tian, wondering if he could really be Feng Yu or was just an imposter who looked like him.

Ling Tian simply ignored the gazes on him as he had an expression full of indifference.

"Let's go."

Ling Tian turned around to leave. They had already seen the results of this tournament and there was no need to stay any longer.

"You think you can just leave here just like that?"

Suddenly, when Li Fengyuan was about to tell Ling Tian to wait, a somber voice was heard as Ling Tian took a few steps. A fierce and powerful aura spread out and fell on Ling Tian.

Ling Tian did not stop and continued walking, as if unaffected by the aura that had enclosed him.

Then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ling Tian and attacked!

* Boom! *

However, an explosion occurred as what seemed to be the same figure flew out, impacting some platforms.

"Who are you?" The figure stopped and looked with fury and some shock at Ling Tian, no, rather, at the figure that had defended Ling Tian and hit him.

But everyone was surprised to see that this figure was Simu Houcheng, the patriarch of the Simu family!

Xuanyuan Ling snorted coldly. She had defended Ling Tian and had sent Simu Houcheng flying!

Simu Houcheng looked with a trace of fear at Xuanyuan Ling, realizing that she really was stronger than him and with a simple wave of her hand had easily injured him.

Golden Core stage?

Simu Houcheng couldn't help but think that this young woman of only about 18 years old could be so strong, with a cultivation higher than his! While he is just a Half-Step Golden Core cultivator!

"You want to settle the account for your son?"

Ling Tian had finally stopped and looked disdainfully at Simu Houcheng. He really didn't care, but since he dared to attack him, he finally stopped and looked at him.

"Hmph! Good you know!" Simu Houcheng snorted with murderous intent, wanting to kill Ling Tian.

Simu Houcheng had sent his son to test Ling Tian, mainly to take care of him since he was a cripple. But no one could have thought that the situation would be reversed and Simu Zhicai would be the one to become a cripple, destroying his future! Besides, also about asking him about the elder who went to kill him in one night and where he was, why he had not returned?

Ling Tian was not going to be merciful; the cultivation world is like that, cold and horrible. Simu Zhicai had no intention of letting him live, and if it were anyone else, it is feared they would be dead.

"If you want to follow the same fate as your son, go ahead. I hope you won't regret it." Ling Tian looked with a faint smirk at Simu Houcheng. His gaze also faintly swept towards Feng Rao and the city lord.

"Simu Houcheng! What do you think you are doing by attacking the Feng family's child? Have you no shame?" The city lord shouted grimly, trying to stop Simu Houcheng from attacking Ling Tian.

"Patriarch Simu can't tolerate what happened to his son, I wouldn't be at ease either let's say." The Long family patriarch said.

"Isn't that child a cripple? How could he deprive Houcheng's child of his cultivation?" The Li family patriarch added, unscrupulously examining Ling Tian's body, seeing that his meridians were in pieces.

"It looks like the woman next to him is strong, that's probably why he looks so calm." The Hua family patrairca looked at Xuanyuan Ling and couldn't see her cultivation level, being surprised and coming to the conclusion that she was a Golden Core realm expert!

Feng Rao glared furiously at Ling Tian; his gaze would alternate between Ling Tian and Li Fengyuan. Ji Zhen continued to watch the development with interest, his gaze would leering at Xuanyuan Ling's body, but he frowned when he couldn't see through his veil on her face.

"Why don't you stop your pretensions and behaviors?" This time, Ling Tian sneered and turned to look at all the patriarchs of the great families and finally the city lord and said, "If you are going to act, cut it off and do it already."
