In Long Wuxian's heart, Feiyue might not be considered a life-and-death bond, but Long Wuxian couldn't give up on her, just because Feiyue ended up like this because of him. So, Long Wuxian was determined to get her back! He couldn't stand seeing people around him getting hurt because of him. Whoever caused the harm would have to pay the price. What he needed to do now was to find the guilty party.
Watching Long Wuxian swiftly leaving, Yu Na and Feng Er's faces showed a sense of shock. They knew that today's events were truly significant!
"Feng Lao, why didn't you stop him?" Feng Er asked Feng Lao.
"Young ones, can you stop him from doing what he intends to do? This old man certainly can't!" Feng Lao shook his head. Although his contact with Long Wuxian had been brief, he had a clear understanding of the kind of person Long Wuxian was.
Back when Long Wuxian first entered the One Qi Gate, the first thing he did was stand up for Feiyu and the others. Previously, he had even given away precious treasures for his cat.
Now, for Feiyue's sake, he was willing to barge into the inner gate alone. Long Wuxian was a person of deep sentiments and righteousness, fearless and unwavering.
This type of person was not someone who would hide their sword and wait for the right moment. He didn't have the luxury of time!
Such a person could only be a friend, or at the very least, should never be an enemy. Crossing paths with someone like him was a terrifying prospect. Those who dared to challenge him ultimately met a tragic end.
Feng Lao did not intervene because he knew he couldn't stop Long Wuxian. Besides, he was curious to see just how powerful and audacious Long Wuxian would be to cause chaos within the inner gate all by himself.
He was aware of the tremendous power of Chi within Long Wuxian... No, he seemed to be hiding something more!
Logically speaking, in front of a Saint Emperor realm expert, there was no privacy left for Long Wuxian at the Immortal Emperor level. But Long Wuxian... Could he possibly possess some mysterious technique? Feng Lao pondered, rubbing his chin.
Impossible! He quickly dismissed the thought because the only ones capable of masking their aura were the members of the Saint Dragon Temple.
At this moment, due to their recent return from the Sacred Demon Mountain, many disciples had benefited greatly from the experience, and excitement filled the air. Suddenly, a deafening sound echoed through the valley. Everyone looked up to see a pig with wings flying in circles above the inner gate. Perched atop the pig was a golden-clad youth with white hair fluttering, exuding a terrifying aura of dominance.
"Isn't that the genius from the outer gate? What's he doing here in the inner gate?"
"What, it's that Long Wuxian who came out from the back mountain? Indeed, he looks quite extraordinary, but his audacious intrusion into our inner gate is too disrespectful. He's disregarding us, the disciples of the inner gate."
"Exactly! Too audacious. I've never seen anyone so daring before. Just an outer gate disciple venturing into the inner gate makes it a first within the One Qi Gate."
"He must be here seeking revenge for Feiyue. Feiyue was crippled by Feng Zhenyu Senior Brother in the Sacred Demon Mountain. Even if he's seeking revenge, he shouldn't be so brazen to enter the inner gate, disrespecting us. Where is the dignity of our inner gate disciples?"
In an instant, the entire inner gate became restless. Having just returned from the Sacred Demon Mountain adventure, it was a lively time as many disciples were still excited. The inner gate disciples were proud, considering themselves superior, especially compared to the ordinary outer gate disciples.
But now, an outer gate disciple like Long Wuxian completely disregarding the inner gate angered many people. Moreover, many within the inner gate had reached the Immortal Emperor Realm and had some knowledge of Long Wuxian's admiration for Bei Luoyu.
Now, knowing about Feiyue's injury, the inner gate disciples speculated on Long Wuxian's purpose for being there. Some thought of retaliation, but none expected such audacious boldness.
"Summon Xiu Er and Feng Zhenyu out!!!"
"Get out..."
"Come out..."
"Out..."
Echoes reverberated through the valley, and a terrifying pressure loomed over the inner gate. Suddenly, some inner gate disciples below began to stir, but Yun Xiang suddenly spread her huge wings and dispersed all the Qi they had just released.
After subduing most of the people with her intimidating presence, Yun Xiang shrank her massive body and moved aside, assuming a posture of watching the drama unfold.
As for Long Wuxian, he landed right in the middle of the inner gate's gathering, and a large number of inner gate disciples were approaching.
With just a simple phrase, "Summon Xiu Er and Feng Zhenyu out," how audacious could Long Wuxian be? Leaving Xiu Er aside for now, who was Feng Zhenyu? He was one of the outstanding figures among the inner gate disciples, a top presence and a powerhouse at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, capable of contending with ordinary Saint Emperor Realm experts.
Looking at the leader of about a dozen people in front, Long Wuxian's lips curled with a hint of disdain.
"You... How dare you disrespect Senior Brother Feng? That is a crime, and for you to come to the inner gate to cause trouble, that's even more criminal. Today, I will make you end up just like Feiyue, completely crippled!" the leader arrogantly declared. He didn't believe that such a large inner gate couldn't handle a disrespectful figure like Long Wuxian.
"So, are you involved in hurting Feiyue?" Long Wuxian's tone was cold, and his eyes flickered with icy determination.
"Haha, Long Wuxian, you overestimate that wretched Feiyue. Just a late-stage Immortal Emperor, not worth the effort for all of us to act together, right?" the leader laughed.
"Very well, I refrained from acting against the North family because of their influence, but you are different. Your words have sealed your fate!" Long Wuxian said, without moving a muscle. In an instant, he appeared in front of the leader.
Although the leader was a master at the late stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm with quick reflexes, as he threw a punch towards Long Wuxian, it was too late.
Snap!
Long Wuxian's speed was too fast; he caught the leader's fist, exerted force, and with a crack sound, twisted the leader's arm until it dislocated, bone piercing through the muscle and skin, a gruesome sight, utterly terrifying.
Ah...
The ear-piercing scream was akin to a pig being slaughtered. Although the leader was at the late stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm, he couldn't endure such brutal torment.
Feeling the verge of death, the excruciating pain shot through his nerves. He hadn't anticipated Long Wuxian's strength to be so horrifying, let alone expecting such ruthless tactics, instantly crippling his arm.
The disciples who had accompanied the leader initially looked incredibly grim. They had intended to intervene, but witnessing Long Wuxian's brutality left them pale, devoid of the courage to act.
Crack!
After disabling one of the leader's arms, Long Wuxian grabbed his other arm and forcibly tore it off.
"Please! No... Ahhhhh!!!" Realizing Long Wuxian's intent, the leader wailed in despair.
However, it was all in vain; he wasn't even given a chance to plead for mercy as Long Wuxian mercilessly ripped off the other arm.
The bones jutted out, completely disabled, a gruesome sight.
This was too...
Yet, Long Wuxian remained expressionless, with his eyes emitting a chilling, bloodthirsty light, every gaze sending shivers down the spine.
In the eyes of many, Long Wuxian had transformed into a merciless demon in that moment.
"This is the pain Feiyue endured. What do you think?" Long Wuxian glared at the leader, his eyes tinged with a crimson hue, exuding waves of killing intent.
Splash!
The leader was already trembling in fear, unable to muster any resistance in the presence of such a merciless Long Wuxian. He agonizingly ignored the pain in both his arms and thudded to his knees.
"Lord... Lord Long, have mercy! I was wrong; this has nothing to do with me," the leader cried, regretting standing out as the target.
Dealing with such a cruel individual who would stop at nothing was a terrifying thought. Storming into the inner gate alone was no exception.
He was all too aware of Feiyue's ordeal. If Long Wuxian turned him into another Feiyue, it wouldn't be any different from death. He had no doubt that if he resisted, Long Wuxian would make him suffer more than Feiyue had!
"Trash!" Long Wuxian spat in disgust, flicking his hand lightly, causing the leader's teeth and blood to splatter.
