The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 6 Fishing in Troubled Waters - You guys are so ruthless!
Outside the Weiyun Sect, crowds thronged.

Dozens of tables were set up with large portions of fish and meat, and the rich aroma wafted for miles around.

"Haha, Brother Kuye, what brings you to my Weiyun Sect?" At the main banquet, Feng Ling laughed heartily, breaking the silence first.

The group, who had been hostile to each other, suddenly started chatting and laughing, as if they had met old friends.

Dozens of tables,

The atmosphere was "lively," but everyone was secretly on guard.

"Having heard that Brother Weiyun has come back from the dead, I, Ku, have come to pay my respects and offer my congratulations."

The withered leaf ape wasn't stupid; it knew that "Ling Weiyun" was just putting on an act, and it winked at him as it spoke.

Elder Ling readily presented a small gift and handed it to Feng Ling.

"Brother Kuye, you've come all this way, why did you bring a gift? Why are you being so polite..." Although Feng Ling said this, he ordered someone to present it, gently opened the box a crack, glanced at it, and then accepted it, making it seem very mysterious.

"Brother Weiyun, do you like it?"

The withered leaf ape stroked its beard and smiled, deliberately nibbling the word "like" lightly.

"Good! Excellent, I like it very much."

Hearing Feng Ling's hearty laugh, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the withered leaf ape.

He thought to himself: Since you are so pragmatic, then I will wait for your order, and I will not let any of these people go.

Hmph! You want the Mighty Cloud Thunderclap Technique?
Feng Ling sneered inwardly:

You can if you want to.

But one must... be alive to enjoy it!

"Dad, what's in the box?"

The two men, Lingchi and his companion, peered around, completely oblivious to the fact that Kuye Yuan and the others were watching them.

"Yes, sir! What is that? Could it be an apology? You can't be senile! We've lost eight disciples; don't even think about getting rid of us for a penny less!"

The fake Pan Yuanshi joined in the commotion, and at the end, she glared fiercely at Elder Lingchen.

At dawn, the elder, his face contorted with anger, prepared to rise again to argue for his reputation in his later years, but was suppressed by a powerful force.

"Shut up! The three of you have utterly disgraced this old man!"

Feng Ling's face darkened, and with a shout, the three of them immediately became more subdued.

"Brother Kuye, please forgive me! To express my apology, I, Ling, will first punish myself with a cup of wine!"

As he spoke, a glint flashed in Feng Ling's eyes. In front of everyone, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. Then he offered wine to the main guests at the banquet, but no one dared to touch him.

"Haha, why don't you all do me the honor? Are you afraid I'll poison the wine? If not, then you're deliberately disrespecting me!"

Since things had come to this point, no one could refuse any longer, so they all drank a few cups together.

The small porcelain cups clattered together, dazzling under the 3,000-degree sunlight!
The fake Pan Yuanshi's eyes flickered as she pretended to drink, while the two men who were being slowly sliced ​​to death, seeing that everyone else had drunk without incident, also started to sip their drinks.

After three rounds of drinking,

The dishes had five flavors.

Everyone chatted happily.

It seems everyone has forgotten the grudges.

"Alright, Brother Weiyun, we've eaten and drunk enough... it's time to get down to business!" The withered leaf ape deliberately dragged out its voice, subtly prompting Feng Ling.

Then the three suddenly shouted at Pan Yuanshi and attacked: "Evil spirit master! Why don't you show yourself?"

"Bang!!"

With a loud bang, wood chips flew everywhere, and the entire main banquet table shattered. Everyone was startled by this sudden turn of events!
Startled, a series of table-flipping sounds rang out as the two groups of people drew their machetes and faced off!

The atmosphere was tense and oppressive, a far cry from the previous friendly camaraderie.

"Haha, so the three of you were indeed in cahoots all along, but I saw through your scheme!"

In her desperation, Pan Yuanshi unleashed three palm strikes in succession, repelling Feng Ling and the other two. Afterwards, she looked at the three whose expressions had drastically changed and felt quite smug.

"This wine is poisoned! You really are not Pan Yuanshi!" Feng Ling and the other two fell to the ground. Elder Lingchen shouted in alarm, and then most of the disciples collapsed to the ground, their faces covered in cold sweat, barely managing to resist the attack.

"Father! Didn't you say this wine wasn't poisoned?"

The two were in great pain from being slowly sliced ​​to death, but despite their fifth-level cultivation, they did not lose their ability to move.

Idiot!
Just because I told you, you believe me?
Don't you understand the principle that all warfare is based on deception?

Feng Ling ignored the two of them and secretly fed a white pill to the withered leaf apes and the others who were circulating their internal energy to expel the poison.

However, the poison was definitely not administered by Feng Ling, even if he had suspected it beforehand.

"Hmph! Luckily, we're not afraid of poison!"

Grabbing a black pill that had rolled down from who-knows-where, and swallowing it in one gulp, the two men who had been slowly tortured to death actually stood up and unexpectedly stood behind the fake Pan Yuanshi!
This is bad!

The exhausted crowd all changed color, realizing that Ling Chi and the other two had betrayed them. The disciples from the two factions, who had been hostile to each other, instantly huddled together.

Unexpectedly, the dozen or so spies who had been lying in wait suddenly broke out and took more than twenty lives in one fell swoop!
Having succeeded in their sneak attack, they dared not take any further risks and instead surrounded the remaining fifty-odd people from both factions.

"You bastards! You two beasts dare to collude with evil spirit masters!"

Hearing the screams coming from among his disciples, Feng Ling's face turned ashen and pale. He cursed the two traitors who had been subjected to slow slicing.

He feigned anger, but inwardly cursed the two for their stupidity. Luckily, he had a backup plan!

After exchanging blows with Pan Yuanshi, Feng Ling and the other two were shocked to discover that Pan Yuanshi only had a sixth-level cultivation.

There is another seventh-level evil spirit master!
It's still hidden!

The two, Kuye Yuan and Lingchen, were suppressed by the poison and were unable to use their full strength. However, even after the two had a chance to recover, Feng Ling still suffered a palm strike that was nearly five times stronger than the previous one, which was very uncomfortable. At this moment, talking nonsense was the best way to buy time!
"Father! You're so old, the position of sect leader should have been shared between the two of us long ago, but you old fogey just won't..." Their words were full of selfishness and dissatisfaction.

Feng Ling sighed inwardly. If Ling Weiyun had truly handed over the position of sect leader before his death, who knows how badly the two of them would have treated him.

"Hmph! You two good-for-nothings want to join the evil spirit master organization? Then hurry up and deal with your old-fashioned father!"

At this moment, the fake Pan Yuanshi transformed into a woman dressed in black and wearing a mask.

She first gave the two men, Ling Chi, a disdainful look, then looked at Feng Ling with a hint of amusement in her eyes. She really wanted to see a tragic love story unfold!

As for her claim about joining an evil spirit master organization, just the two of them? They looked so pathetic... I spit on them!
"Once I've truly killed Ling Weiyun, I'll wipe you all out immediately!" Black Smoke thought to herself, already harboring murderous intent.

Those two foolish guys were still full of excitement, pressing closer and closer to their father, thinking that others really respected them!

"Father, your son is seeing you off! May you have a safe journey, so that your mother won't be left alone down there, feeling so pitiful!"

"Yes, that's right! With you by her side, she won't be lonely, and we can rest assured!"

A burning desire appeared in the eyes of Ling Chi and Ling Han as they spoke and moved closer to Feng Ling, having long since forgotten about blood ties and kinship.

"You bastards! You two are worse than pigs and dogs! I was truly blind to have you!"
"If I had known I had beastly sons like you, I should have been ruthless enough to exterminate the family back then!"

Feng Ling was furious on the surface, but his heart was even colder. He was glad he didn't have a son like that!
These two clearly knew that their birth mother had been murdered, yet they pretended to know nothing.

She even called that evil sorcerer her son's mother, and now she's even trying to poison and harm her own father!

This kind of person can't just be described as inhuman; they're utterly depraved! Lonely...?

Pitiful……!?

I had originally planned to spare their lives as a way of repaying the kindness of Ling Weiyun and his wife, but now it seems better to kill them on the spot and let their parents deal with them in the underworld!
Feng Ling can do it!
It's about time...

seven……!
six……!
……

three……!
two……!
fall!!!
"Thump!" Just as Ling Chi and the other two were only half a meter away from Feng Ling.

Two sudden sounds of kneeling came from the ground, a strange scene that left everyone bewildered.

"Ah...it hurts!"

"It's...it's an ancestral poison...the Seven-Step Soul-Severing Powder!" The two who were being slowly sliced ​​to death were horrified and tried to struggle to their feet, but to no avail.

"Sigh—" Looking at the two people in front of him, their legs trembling, their bodies weak, yet still desperately trying to grab him, Feng Ling truly felt sorry for Ling Weiyun: He was overjoyed to have a son late in life, cherishing him endlessly, only to receive this in return…

"Today, I will uphold justice and even kill my own family! You two beasts, die..."

Suddenly, Feng Ling slammed his fist on the ground and sprang up, startling the two men who were being slowly sliced ​​apart. Then, in full view of everyone, a spurt of blood sprayed three meters high.

The drought caused the trees to collapse.

He died instantly...

That easy? Even the Seven-Step Soul-Severing Powder probably couldn't achieve that effect!

Just as Feng Ling was puzzled and preparing to deliver the final blow by striking Ling Chi with a palm, a series of crisp claps rang out, accompanied by mocking laughter: "Hahaha... Brilliant, brilliant..."

More than a dozen figures in black emerged from the sect. One of them stood at the main gate, looking down at Feng Ling and the others, while the others dispersed and surrounded them again!

Upon seeing the newcomer, the black smoke's eyes lit up with joy, and it quickly stepped forward to greet him.

But after taking only two steps, she realized something was wrong, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground!

"Boom! Boom!!" Immediately, two bursts of air erupted from the palms of the withered leaf ape and Elder Lingchen. The two, who had been waiting for their opportunity, forced out two streams of poisonous black liquid, which instantly attacked the black smoke lying on the ground!

"Oh no! This is a trap..."

The leader in black was very alert. With a loud shout, he made his move and went straight to the Leaf Ape.

As for Elder Lingchen who was missed, the leader of the black-clad men believed that Black Smoke could handle it on his own!
A series of explosions rang out, and the black-clad leader and the withered leaf ape exchanged hundreds of blows in just a few breaths!

The leader in black possessed a strange, dark aura-infused fist technique, carrying a bewildering quality of illusion and fleeting existence.

The Leaf Ape's Leaf Palm is incredibly versatile; wherever it goes, withered yellow maple leaves flutter down.

For a while,
The two were evenly matched!

On the other hand, the woman called Black Smoke was also quite formidable. Even though she was paralyzed from the waist down due to poisoning, her palm techniques were still incredibly unpredictable.

He held his own against Elder Lingchen, who also used the Withered Leaf Palm technique!

The crowd watched silently, unable to offer any assistance. The other men in black simply observed quietly, seemingly with no intention of making a move. It was unclear whether they were overly confident in their leader or something else entirely.

After a short while, none of the four had emerged victorious, but the slow-moving Black Smoke was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position. The leader of the black-clad men noticed this and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

With a loud "boom," the black-clad leader suddenly shook off the withered leaf ape, swiftly turned around, repelled Elder Ling Chen, and leaped out of the battle circle amidst black smoke.

With a trickle of blood at the corner of Elder Lingchen's mouth, his flying body was caught by the withered leaf ape.

Six turns to welcome the seventh turn,
Ultimately, they were outmatched!
"You two, take her back to the main altar to heal her wounds!" After instructing the two men in black to send away the black smoke, the leader of the men in black turned and called over Xu Laosan and seven or eight men in black who were at the fourth or fifth level of rank.

The nine people surrounded them, subtly creating a small encirclement around Feng Ling and his two companions!
His intention was clear: since a one-on-one fight was too close to a draw, he would resort to a quick and decisive method—a group brawl!
It's not necessary for a fourth or fifth turn to injure someone at a sixth, seventh, or eighth turn, but at least it can have a disruptive effect. Don't underestimate this slightest interference; in a duel between masters, life and death often hang in the balance!
"Hiding your head and showing your tail, who are you?" Stepping back to the side of the two withered leaf apes, Feng Ling's gaze was gloomy: "What grudge do I have against you?"

Without answering Feng Ling, the black-clad leader narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a moment before suddenly grinning maliciously, "Haha, I've been secretly watching your every move from the beginning, and now I can finally be sure... after being brought back from the dead, you no longer possess the cultivation of the eighth level!"

These words shocked the vast majority of people present, who were filled with fear and unease.

"What! The sect leader's cultivation level has dropped?"

"They've been forced into this situation, yet there's no sign of the sect leader making a move... No wonder!"

"Alas, the Weiyun Sect is finished! We're finished too!"

The disciples, who had been in a daze, snapped out of their daze and began to discuss among themselves. There were complaints, lamentations, and resentment! A whole host of negative emotions could be detected…

He's demoralizing!

Sensing the emotional shifts among his disciples, Feng Ling's gaze grew increasingly cold.

The leader in black seemed completely unconcerned. A slight smirk played on his lips, hidden behind a black cloth, as he slowly approached a person not far from him.

"Ah! What are you doing?" A poisonous hand shrouded in black mist descended upon him, and Lingchi, still slumped on his knees, was filled with terror.

"Pfft..."

With a dozen or so thuds, all the spies who had been patrolling back and forth fell to their knees. Those unlucky ones who were closer to the grieving disciples had their heads smashed open, their brains bursting!
The Seven-Step Soul-Severing Powder is a slow-acting poison. The poisoned person will take seven steps to be affected, at which point their lower body will become paralyzed and they will be unable to move, just like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out!

In theory, it can trap an eighth-level advanced ghost spirit master in place for at least a day. As for those below the eighth level, without an antidote, they will surely die within seven steps!
Therefore, the leader in black spared no effort to divert some of his forces and decisively sent the black smoke away.

Previously, Feng Ling said that he didn't poison the wine, but that doesn't mean he didn't poison the food...

If it weren't for the fact that some disciples were innocent, Feng Ling would have used a much slower-acting poison like the Seven-Step Soul-Severing Powder, which is primarily intended for capturing people alive!

"Ling Weiyun, you're really vicious!"

Turning his head, he saw that seven or eight more of his men had died. The black-clad leader's face was grim. Each death was a huge loss for the evil spirit master organization!

"Same here, you're not bad either, poisoning your own people!"

Feng Ling retorted sharply, making no attempt to hide his sarcasm, and even glanced at Ling Chi as he spoke.

"Haha, you're right! The antidote your two little beasts just took was actually soaked in another kind of poison. In less than half an hour, he will die from the poison and turn into a puddle of pus!"

"Hiss—" Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. This was hardly an antidote.
It's clearly a different, more potent poison!

"And this piece of trash..." As if oblivious to everyone's expressions, the leader in black glanced at Ling Chi, who was terrified by his men, and said disdainfully, "He's not one of us!"

"What a wicked sorcerer!" Feng Ling said calmly, having already anticipated this outcome.

Actually, he deliberately said "one of our own" to Ling Chi, wanting to see if the abandoned Ling Chi would eventually feel any remorse!
But Ling Chi's next words made Feng Ling completely lose hope in him.

"You guys are so vicious!"

Ling Chi snapped out of his daze, looked in horror at the black-clad leader behind him, then turned to look at Feng Ling, and finally roared out these words!

Immediately afterwards, a piercing scream rang out.

Under the bright sunshine, a blood mist drifted out with an unusually eerie beauty. To everyone's horror, five long, sharp fingernails were deeply embedded in a head that was gushing blood!

One of the escaped ghost spirits was immediately devoured!
The five bloody fingers were slowly pulled out, and drops of blood slid down their tips.

With five bloody holes in its head, the body immediately collapsed to the ground!

Blood kept flowing out, staining the terrified face of the head red, a truly shocking sight!
