Chapter 948: Master, I'm Very Sturdy!

However, despite his doubts, the alien spirit true qi within the other was thick and powerful, giving a surging, mountain-like feeling, far superior to his own by an unknown degree, at least above the king level.

Without needing to think, he knew the other's status was extremely noble.

"What, you don't even know me? Men, take this fool out and chop him up!"

Seeing him stammering, unsure of what was going on, Zhang Xuan raised his brows and shouted loudly.

"This..."

Hearing his shout, this time not only the Saint Domain Second Layer alien spirit tribesman was stunned, but the surrounding alien spirit tribesmen were also dumbfounded.

Opening his mouth to have our captain chopped up, who do you think you are?

Which mental hospital did you escape from?

"Could it be..."

The Saint Domain Second Layer alien spirit tribesman was also full of frustration, not knowing what to do, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, thinking of someone, his face changed: "Could you be... Golden Leaf King?"

Legend had it that Golden Leaf King was warlike, cruel, and would act at the slightest disagreement.

He had never seen this prince, only heard the name... but the person before him had such pure internal energy and such presence... opening his mouth to kill, could it be him?

"Hmph, you have some discernment!" Snorting coldly, Zhang Xuan lifted his chin.

"Captain of the 214th Squad under Green Leaf King, Tong Yue, pays respects to the Prince!"

Hearing him confirm his identity, the Saint Domain Second Layer alien spirit tribesman Tong Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly prostrating himself on the ground, but also full of doubt, couldn't help asking: "Last time our king said he would come, and told us to prepare in advance, so we captured these master teachers, planning to sacrifice them to gain power, break the seal, and welcome his arrival... how come you've arrived before the sacrifice?"

It would be false to say he wasn't surprised.

They were directly under Green Leaf King's jurisdiction, a world apart from Golden Leaf King.

Green Leaf King had spent a huge price, using special methods to send them here one by one, originally thinking that when the time was ripe, they would use the master teachers for sacrifice to let him pass through the seal and come here... but now, before the preparations were even complete, and the sacrifice hadn't started, he had arrived!

Golden Leaf King and their Green Leaf King were equals, with no major interactions...

Their own king hadn't come, but he had—what was going on?

"What? Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"

Raising his brows, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes, carrying cold murderous intent and supreme authority: "You insolent thing who doesn't know rank, do you believe I could kill you now and Green Leaf King wouldn't dare say a word?"

"I..."

Tong Yue's body stiffened, cold sweat directly beading on his forehead.

The other was of royal blood; he was just an ordinary soldier. If he really killed him, Green Leaf King certainly wouldn't speak for him.

This was status, and also position.

"This subordinate dares not!"

Kneeling on the ground, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

He had long heard that Golden Leaf King disregarded rules and dared to do anything; seeing him in person... indeed fierce.

"It's best you don't dare!" Snorting, Zhang Xuan seemed somewhat satisfied with his attitude, then stepped forward and pointed at Lu Feng and the others: "What's going on with them?"

"We planned to capture these fellows for sacrifice, to break the seal and welcome... welcome the Prince's arrival..."

Tong Yue quickly explained.

"Sacrifice? Welcome Green Leaf King?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

Although he didn't quite understand the purpose of their actions, he could still deduce some things from their words.

It seemed he had arrived just in time. If ordinary soldiers were this terrifying, if an alien spirit king truly came, wouldn't Hongyuan City instantly become hell?

Seeing his face seemed to carry displeasure, Tong Yue's mouth twitched, then he realized and quickly said: "Originally it was to welcome Green Leaf King, but since you, Prince, have come, forget it. I'll have these fellows killed now..."

Able to sit in this position, he was not stupid but rather a shrewd person.

Although there was no news of discord between Green Leaf King and Golden Leaf King, if one had arrived and then sacrificed to bring the former over, wasn't that asking for death?

Having said that, he waved to the many alien spirit tribesmen behind him: "Men, kill all these fellows!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the order, the many alien spirit tribesmen stood up, once again looking at Lu Feng and the others surrounded within, murderous intent surging.

"Gentlemen, today we may all stay here!"

"Coming here, we never planned to leave alive. So what if we stay? Kill one and we break even, kill two and we make a profit!"

"Haha, come on! Taste the strength of your grandfathers!"

"Even if we die, we'll take a few with us..."

Seeing so many alien spirit tribesmen showing murderous intent, the many master teachers surrounded in the middle all clenched their fists, laughed loudly, each showing a look of facing death calmly.

These six-star peak master teachers, as Zhang Xuan had guessed, were basically those who had reached a certain cultivation level and could no longer break through, or whose lifespans had come to an end.

Entering the underground cavern, they never planned to leave alive.

A lifetime as a master teacher, if they died in battle against the alien spirit tribe, it would be a worthy death.

Thus, hearing that the enemy wanted to kill them, they were not afraid but instead filled with fighting spirit.

Life is sorrow, death is pain!

If they could kill one more alien spirit tribesman, it meant protecting one more piece of peace, and they would have no regrets even in death.

"Ignorant fools, we held back earlier to spare your dog lives for blood sacrifice... now that the Prince has arrived, what use are you!"

Seeing that the few were not afraid but instead full of heroic spirit, Tong Yue's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and waved his hand.

Swish!

The many alien spirit tribesmen simultaneously raised their hands, a狂暴 force gathering, ready to blast out at any moment.

This force was earth-shattering; once unleashed, the many master teachers surrounded in the middle, already heavily injured, would surely be killed.

"Hold on..."

Frowning, Zhang Xuan's voice rang out.

Hearing his voice, the alien spirit tribesmen preparing to attack all stopped, and Tong Yue also looked over with confusion.

Golden Leaf King was always cold-blooded and decisive in killing; that was why he was so afraid when he saw him. But now that he was about to act, why did he call a halt?

"Keep them; I have questions to ask."

Zhang Xuan said lightly.

With his experience pretending to be Master Yang, he knew how to disguise himself as an expert. Moreover, the fierce man's aura was strong and wild, and the other's preconceptions left no flaw.

"Yes!"

Hearing that the "King" had something to inquire, Tong Yue suddenly understood, waved his hand, and the many alien spirit tribesmen who had been preparing to attack all lowered their hands.

However, they did not relax but still surrounded the area, ready to strike with lightning speed if anyone tried to escape.

"May I ask what the Prince wishes to know? This subordinate will immediately send someone to interrogate."

Knowing that the group couldn't escape, Tong Yue cupped his fists and said.

"These master teachers are all tough nuts, proud of their integrity. Without using some methods, it's hard to get exact information from their mouths!"

Afraid of being misunderstood, after speaking, Tong Yue quickly explained.

Although he hadn't been in the underground cavern long, he had encountered many master teachers and knew that these fellows had extremely firm beliefs, and ordinary interrogation could not extract information from them.

If they weren't even afraid of death, how could they fear interrogation?

"No need. The things I want to know are not convenient for many to hear! Just find me a quiet place where I can interrogate them alone."

Zhang Xuan did not explain, hands behind his back, his expression calm and distant.

Giving a feeling of unfathomable depth.

"Yes!"

Hearing that he wanted to interrogate personally, Tong Yue hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and cupped his fists: "Prince, our temporary camp is not far from here. How about going there? It can also ensure they cannot escape."

"Mm." Zhang Xuan nodded.

This area was open, with alien spirit tribesmen everywhere. Even if they mistook him for Golden Leaf King, he couldn't take the people away here.

He had to find a secluded place to have a chance.

Besides, his purpose in coming was to investigate what was going on with these alien spirit tribesmen and eliminate the threat, so he naturally couldn't just leave.

"This way, please!"

Nodding, Tong Yue's body flickered and led the way.

Zhang Xuan said no more, flew up, and followed closely, while secretly communicating with the fierce man through his mind.

"Have you heard of this Golden Leaf King he mentioned?"

"How would I know these later generations... It's probably that this Tong Yue has never seen Golden Leaf King either. Feeling the purity and power of your true qi, he believed it."

The fierce man thought for a moment and said: "The alien spirit tribe has strict hierarchy; strong killing true qi means high status. My finger bone has just recovered, still far from its former level, but the true qi it condenses is beyond the understanding of these people."

"Mm." Zhang Xuan nodded.

His guess was the same.

The fierce man was originally one of the most powerful emperors of the alien spirit tribe. Even if this finger bone was far from its peak, the purity of its power was definitely beyond the comprehension of these fellows.

Coupled with his own disguise, which was vivid, it was normal for them to mistake him for Golden Leaf King.

"If you act now, can you kill all these fellows?" Zhang Xuan asked.

If the fierce man could easily kill these fellows, it would save a lot of trouble.

"My strongest attack now is the killing intent... It works wonders against other races, but against them, the effect is much weaker..."

The fierce man was very embarrassed.

He constantly boasted about how powerful he was, but when it came time to use it, he fell short.

Having successfully taken over the finger bone, his combat power had increased somewhat, and he could fight one-on-one, but dealing with so many people was still somewhat inadequate.

Moreover, his strongest attack method was the killing intent, which worked well against master teachers and sacred beasts, causing them to stiffen and be at his mercy...

But against fellow alien spirit tribesmen of the same kind, it was almost useless.

"Alright."

Seeing him refuse so quickly, Zhang Xuan helplessly shook his head, curled his lips, and muttered softly: "I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're just a wax spearhead, not very useful..."

Hearing this, the fierce man stumbled, almost crying out.

Master, I'm not a wax spearhead; I'm very sturdy, really very sturdy...
