The words of Li Yunjing were too arrogant, causing Celestial Hongzi to burst out in anger.
"Calm down, both of you!"
Yu Yuanhua quickly intervened, trying to mediate: "Vice Sect Leader, Yunjingâs words are indeed true. The rules of the âEnmity Platformâ are unbreakable; itâs the iron law set by the Sect. Todayâs matter can only be settled by the two of them alone."
Previously, Celestial Hongzi had not asserted his title as Vice Sect Leader, so Yu Yuanhua had no concerns, but once the title was mentioned, he had to step forward to mediate.
Otherwise, according to the Sectâs rules, Li Yunjing might really be punished!
"Hmph!"
Li Yunjing snorted coldly, saying no more, but the anger in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
He shot a cold glance at Celestial Hongzi, thinking to himself: "What a pity! What a pity! If this person had been provoked by me just now, followed me onto the âEnmity Platformâ, and I had killed him, there would be no more trouble in the future!"
Similarly, Celestial Hongzi glared at Li Yunjing viciously!
Li Yunjingâs previous disrespectful attitude was not enough for strict punishment by the Sect, and even if reported, it would only result in a minor reprimand, making Celestial Hongzi lose face instead.
Therefore, Celestial Hongzi found himself with no options against Li Yunjing.
As for fighting Li Yunjing on the "Enmity Platform"?
Honestly, Celestial Hongzi was feeling quite intimidated!
The information coming from the East Sea was truly terrifying.
He had to be cautious!
Just as the tension between Celestial Hongzi and Li Yunjing reached its peak, the situation changed once again in the arena.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, Long Feiyangâs assault poured down like a torrential storm, and Yan Songâs mana was completely exhausted, unable to resist any longer.
His Protective Gang Qi was utterly shattered, and he was thrown heavily to the edge of the "Enmity Platform", spewing blood from his mouth, his breath fading to its utmost.
"I never thought that one day, I would be defeated by you!"
Yan Song struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.
He was now powerless to reverse the situation; his life and death rested solely on Long Feiyangâs whim.
"Long Feiyang... you... you cannot kill me..."
Yan Song continued to speak, his voice hoarse and weak.
"Heh!"
Long Feiyang disdainfully looked down at Yan Song, letting out a cold laugh, saying: "Cannot kill you? For what reason? Just because youâre a True Disciple of âDubhe Peakâ? Or because you have Celestial Hongzi backing you?"
"You..."
Yan Song heard this and his face turned even paler.
He knew that Long Feiyang didnât care about these things at all.
Outside the arena, Celestial Hongzi saw what was happening and felt anxious.
He could no longer care about his confrontation with Li Yunjing, stepping forward in haste and shouted towards Long Feiyang: "Long Feiyang! Stop! If you dare to kill Yan Song, I, Celestial Hongzi, will never rest until one of us is dead!"
"Celestial Hongzi, who do you think you are?"
Long Feiyang heard this, turned his head to look at Celestial Hongzi, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "The rules of the âEnmity Platformâ are something even a Vice Sect Leader like you cannot interfere with, by what right do you threaten me?"
"Courting death!"
Celestial Hongziâs face turned ashen, fists clenched tightly, nails deeply embedding into his palms.
Unfortunately, he was powerless.
At this moment, Li Yunjingâs voice echoed once more: "Celestial Hongzi, Vice Sect Leader, I advise you to remain calm. If you act now, your end might not be much better!"
"Sigh..."
Upon hearing this, Celestial Hongziâs anger surged even higher, but he knew Li Yunjing was right.
He could only grit his teeth and glare at Long Feiyang, his eyes full of resentment.
"Pff..."
Long Feiyang sneered, no longer paying attention to Celestial Hongzi, turned his gaze downward towards Yan Song, coldly said: "Yan Song, do not blame me for being ruthless! My way is always to eliminate the roots! Otherwise, with your temperament, you would surely seek revenge on me sooner or later!"
"Squish..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his sword flashed, severing Yan Songâs head, crushing even the Golden Core.
Long Feiyang took all the spoils of war, let out a cold laugh, then turned and left the "Enmity Platform".
Upon the vast "Enmity Platform", Yan Songâs body lay there, his head rolling away, eyes full of humiliation and unwillingness.
"Ah..."
Outside, the crowd was in uproar.
Though they anticipated someone might die, witnessing Yan Songâs tragic death still shocked everyone deeply, unbelievable!
To know that if a Sect Elder of the Shenxiao Dao Sect fell outside, it would be a major uproar, with Shenxiao Dao Sect sending numerous cultivators to avenge the Elder!
Yet now, Yan Song was dead!
Separated from his head, died so miserably, yet the Sect was helpless, unable to interfere in such matters.
Celestial Hongzi watched Long Feiyangâs departing figure, a gleam of viciousness flashing in his eyes.
"Li Yunjing, Long Feiyang, you all wait for me!"
Celestial Hongzi thought to himself, his eyes radiating murderous intent.
"Heh..."
Li Yunjing stood aside, smiling slightly, as though everything was under his control.
The events of today had greatly diminished Celestial Hongziâs prestige within the Sect.
Meanwhile, he, seizing the opportunity, eliminated opposition, weakened Long Feiyangâs power, further solidifying his position in the Law Enforcement Hall and within the Sect.
"Alright! Everyone disperse now!"
Yu Yuanhua finally performed a spell to shut down the arrays and restrictions on the "Enmity Platform".
Celestial Hongziâs face was grim as he instructed the disciples of "Dubhe Peak" to carry Yan Songâs corpse, leading hundreds away shamefully back to "Dubhe Peak".
Yu Yuanhua walked over to Li Yunjingâs side, said softly: "Celestial Hongzi hates you to death."
"Itâs alright!"
Li Yunjing smiled faintly, saying: "Since I aim to vie for the top position, naturally I will offend many people! I have been mentally prepared for this long ago."
"With young talent like you, the Sectâs future is promising!"
