Chapter 877
Knocking on the Gate
Bai Xiaochun suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up. "Take him back for interrogation?"
"I'm willing to cooperate! I'll cooperate fully!"
He knew it in his heart.
Hongmeng Daoist's words are serious, but the question is, if they are brought back to the Eternal World, will Fang Han really punish them?
Definitely not!
to be honest.
Hongmeng Daoist knew the plan had failed and came specifically to help.
Li Qiye and Fang Yuan also visibly relaxed.
Zhao Feng laughed, raised the Pangu Axe, and pointed the blade at the scroll of talismans, "You weren't here when Li Qiye made his move, you weren't here when Fang Yuan set up his scheme, and you weren't here when the Myriad Realms King Map ignited the Ruins of Return."
"Now they're dying, and you've come."
"Does Fang Han really think I can't see through his little scheme?"
Hongmeng Daoist closed the talisman and frowned. "The Immortal Alliance has its own rules."
Zhao Feng's aura suddenly pressed down on the person in front of him. "Rules?"
He raised his hand and grabbed, and the meteorite belt where Fang Yuan was located collapsed on the spot.
Just as Fang Yuan was about to retreat, his body was locked by a force and he was dragged out.
Zhao Feng gripped his neck with his five fingers.
Fang Yuan grabbed Zhao Feng's wrists with both hands, his Supreme Immortal Body trembling desperately, but he couldn't break free even a fraction of an inch.
Hongmeng Daoist's voice grew more forceful, "Do you intend to defy the imperial decree?"
Zhao Feng tightened his grip. "What if I don't let go?"
With a flick of his sleeve, the Taoist Hongmeng sent the talisman soaring into the sky.
The talisman unfolded, and the Immortal Alliance mark transformed into golden chains that wrapped around Zhao Feng's wrist.
Zhao Feng raised his hand and his hand trembled.
The chains snapped inch by inch.
Hongmeng Daoist stepped forward, his body radiating a primordial purple aura.
Within the purple aura, the four elements of creation, destiny, reincarnation, and cause and effect intertwined, suppressing a vast expanse of void in the borderlands.
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Qiye uttered a few words in a low voice, "Primordial Dao Body".
Fang Yuan turned his head with difficulty, trying to take the opportunity to break free.
Zhao Feng then slammed him to the ground.
boom!
Fang Yuan's back slammed through a massive, broken rock, and the Dao traces within his body were thrown into disarray once more.
Zhao Feng looked at Hongmeng Daoist, "You also want to fight me?"
Hongmeng Daoist raised his palm.
In the palm of his hand, the phantom image of a portal appeared.
That portal was not the actual gate to immortality, but it contained a portion of the life force of immortality. "I am ordered to capture people and do not wish to fight you."
“But if you obstruct law enforcement, I will have no choice but to subdue you first.”
Zhao Feng laughed heartily, stepped forward, and was about to make a move.
But at that moment, a golden aura burst through the turbulent flow, shouting, "Brother Zhao, stop!"
Ye Fan flew over from behind the broken star, his sacred body's blood and qi expanding, forcefully pushing aside the surrounding turbulence.
He fell between Zhao Feng and Hongmeng Daoist.
Zhao Feng glanced at him. "Are you going to stop me too?"
Ye Fan raised his hand to suppress his surging blood and said seriously, "I'm not stopping you, I'm reminding you."
"Fang Han is waiting for you to make your move."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiye's expression changed.
Fang Yuan's neck was sealed by Zhao, his face was completely bloodless, and his throat bones were making a faint cracking sound.
Hongmeng Daoist frowned even more deeply.
The illusory portal in his palm was still expanding, the eternal life force was falling, and the four great chains were only a few feet away from Zhao Feng's limbs.
Zhao Feng did not retreat.
Pangu's axe pressed down, and the front of the chain stopped due to the force of the axe.
Hongmeng Daoist spoke in a deep voice, "Ye Fan, are you also going to obstruct the Immortal Alliance's enforcement of the law?"
Ye Fan turned to look at him, "Hongmeng Daoist, who are you talking to?"
Hongmeng Daoist's face darkened.
Ye Fan continued, "You didn't show up when Wang Lin set up the scheme. You didn't show up when the Myriad Realms King Map returned to nothingness. You still didn't show up when the Immortal Execution King's avatar made his move."
"Now that Zhao Feng wants to settle accounts, you've brought the imperial edict."
"Your enforcement of the law is perfectly timed."
Li Qiye gripped the coffin, his face grim.
He could tell that if Zhao Feng really made another move, Hongmeng Daoist might not be able to control him.
But if Zhao Feng were to cleave this decree, its nature would change.
The internal strife within the Immortal Alliance and the resistance to the Immortal Alliance's decree are two separate matters.
This is what Fang Han was waiting for.
As long as Zhao Feng disobeys the decree, Fang Han can mobilize the entire Immortal Alliance to kill Zhao Feng!
With Zhao Feng gripping his neck, Fang Yuan managed to utter a few words with difficulty, "Zhao Feng, you wouldn't dare."
Zhao Feng looked down at him.
Fang Yuan's face was still wet with blood, and his chest was still sunken, yet he still provoked, "You killed Wang Lin, Su Ming, and Meng Hao; you could say you killed them in retaliation."
“If you make a move against Hongmeng Daoist, Fang Han will be able to legitimately mobilize the Immortal Alliance.”
"By then, no matter how strong you are, you will only be the target of everyone's criticism."
Zhao Feng tightened his grip.
Click.
A cracking sound came from Fang Yuan's neck.
Hongmeng Daoist took a step forward. "Release them."
Zhao Feng looked at Hongmeng Daoist, his killing intent undiminished, "You command me?"
Hongmeng Daoist's sleeves billowed, and the talisman burst forth with golden light from the Immortal Alliance high in the sky. "This humble Daoist has come by imperial decree."
“Zhao Feng, if you continue to commit violence, I will report this matter truthfully.”
Seizing the opportunity, Li Qiye sneered, "Zhao Feng, weren't you very arrogant just now?"
"What, now that the Immortal Alliance's decree has arrived, you're actually considering it?"
Fang Yuan's throat was crushed, and he spoke haltingly, "Of course he has to think it over. No matter how strong an individual is, he can't possibly be an enemy of the entire Immortal Alliance!"
Zhao Feng did not reply.
His aura still suppressed the chaotic flow of the desolate landscape, but the hand that was gripping Fang Yuan's neck did not continue to squeeze.
Ye Fan's heart tightened.
He knows Zhao Feng too well.
This silence is probably not a sign of backing down, but rather a scheme to bury the other side as well.
Just then.
Suddenly, the sound of pages turning could be heard in the distance.
A man in a blue robe emerged from behind the shattered star belt.
His figure wasn't solid; it was merely an avatar.
However, after it appeared, the turbulent currents around it became much calmer.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Ye Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Hong Yi."
Hong Yi appeared in the air, carrying a thick scripture in his hand.
The scriptures are opened, and every word shines.
When Hongmeng Daoist saw Hong Yi, he frowned. "Hong Yi, you've come too."
Hong Yi didn't look at him, but looked at Zhao Feng first, "Brother Zhao, let's stop now, this is enough."
Zhao Feng sneered, "You also want to persuade me to accept this?"
Hong Yi shook his head. "It's not about admitting it. It's about passing the buck to Fang Han. If he really arrests these people, I'll keep an eye on how he handles it. If he's abusing his power for personal gain, I'll naturally impeach him through the Immortal Alliance!"
Zhao Feng still held the Pangu Axe in his hand.
Hong Yi continued, "Fang Han gave Wang Lin the core imprint of the Myriad Realms King Map, and then had Hongmeng Daoist bring over the decree. The whole arrangement was too smooth."
"They can afford to lose to Wang Lin, Su Ming, Meng Hao, and even Li Qiye and Fang Yuan."
"But they want you to make a mistake first."
Hongmeng Daoist's expression darkened slightly. "Hong Yi, be careful what you say."
Hong Yi turned his head and said, "I am simply presenting the facts."
Hongmeng Daoist raised the talisman, "The Immortal Alliance will conduct its own interrogation."
Hong Yi chuckled. "Interrogation? Wang Lin is dead, Su Ming is dead, Meng Hao is dead, and the entire Immortal Rebel lineage has been wiped out."
"You all know whether Fang Han will interrogate the remaining people who are taken back to the Eternal World."
Fang Yuan was finding it increasingly difficult to breathe.
The Supreme Immortal Embryo was repairing his neck, but the power of creation in Zhao Feng's palm was pressing down on his flesh and bones, causing it to shatter every time it was repaired.
His face turned purple, but he still stared at Zhao Feng. "Zhao Feng, are you still not giving up? Your power is gone, and you are destined to be no match for me!"
Zhao Feng looked at him and suddenly smiled.
The laughter wasn't loud, but it sent a chill down Li Qiye's spine.
Zhao Feng looked up at Hongmeng Daoist, "Take them away, that's fine." Hongmeng Daoist's brow relaxed.
Li Qiye also let out a soft breath.
Fang Yuan's heart sank suddenly.
The next moment, Zhao Feng exerted force with his palm.
Click!
Fang Yuan's neck was crushed on the spot.
The Dao traces within the Supreme Immortal Embryo trembled violently, and dozens of illusory Immortal Gu appeared simultaneously, only to be crushed and dimmed by the power of Zhao Feng's palm.
Fang Yuan's body went limp, and his breath plummeted.
Bai Xiaochun jumped up in fright, "Didn't you say you were taking them away?!"
Zhao Feng casually tossed it aside.
Fang Yuan's tattered body crashed into Hongmeng Daoist.
Hongmeng Daoist caught it with his sleeve, his face turning completely ugly.
Fang Yuan is not dead.
However, with its neck shattered, its primordial spirit damaged, and the Immortal Gu dead, it was essentially rendered useless.
Zhao Feng put away the Pangu Axe and said coldly, "Tell Fang Han a message."
"I will settle this score with him sooner or later."
Hongmeng Daoist held Fang Yuan in his arms, remained silent for a moment, and then the golden light of the talisman covered Fang Yuan's entire body.
Fang Yuan let out a broken breath and barely raised his hand, as if he wanted to say something.
Zhao Feng raised his eyes and glanced over.
Fang Yuan stopped.
Seeing this, Li Qiye's expression turned even uglier.
He wanted to say a few more sarcastic remarks to Zhao Feng, but seeing Fang Yuan's fate, he swallowed all those words.
Zhao Feng turned to look at Li Qiye, "And you?"
Li Qiye gripped the coffin tightly, "I will naturally return to the Immortal Alliance to be judged."
Zhao Feng took a step closer.
Li Qiye couldn't help but step back.
Zhao Feng laughed, "You were shouting quite loudly just now. Now you're admitting defeat pretty quickly."
Li Qiye's face turned ashen.
The coffin hung beside him, and the crack in the lid was still widening.
He wanted to argue, but Zhao Feng really dared to kill.
Wang Lin, Meng Hao, and Su Mingquan are all dead, and even the Old Man of Extinction couldn't escape.
If he were to say one more defiant word, he might not be able to hold out until the Hongmeng Daoist makes a move.
Hongmeng Daoist took a deep breath and raised the talisman.
"All those involved, please return to the Great World of Eternal Life with me."
Golden light shone down, enveloping Li Qiye, Fang Yuan, Luo Feng, Qin Yu, and Lin Lei.
Bai Xiaochun immediately raised her hand, "I'm interested too! I'm extremely interested!"
Zhao Feng looked at him.
Bai Xiaochun immediately hugged the tortoise-patterned pot and hid it behind Ye Fan, saying, "Um... it's okay if I'm not really involved."
Ye Fan couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Zhao Feng said calmly, "Bai Xiaochun, stay."
Bai Xiaochun's face turned pale. "Huh?"
Hongmeng Daoist looked at Zhao Feng, "Bai Xiaochun is also on the list."
Zhao Feng spoke up, "My prisoners are not on your list."
Hongmeng Daoist said in a deep voice, "The decree of the Immortal Alliance is written very clearly."
Zhao Feng raised his hand and grabbed.
Bai Xiaochun flew to his side, pot and all.
Bai Xiaochun clutched the pot and cried out in pain, "Gently! Gently! I can walk by myself!"
Zhao Feng looked at Hongmeng Daoist, "You want to rob me?"
Hongmeng Daoist's facial muscles twitched.
Ye Fan and Hong Yi stood on either side of Zhao Feng.
The situation has become tense again.
Hongmeng Daoist remained silent for a few breaths, then finally flicked his sleeve and said, "I will report this matter truthfully."
Zhao Feng sneered, "Remember to write a few more lines."
The golden light of the talisman carried Li Qiye, Fang Yuan, Luo Feng, Qin Yu, and Lin Lei into the sky.
Golden light shot into the sky, tearing open a passage to the world of immortality.
Hongmeng Daoist closed his sleeves and led everyone away at the end of the passage.
The turbulent currents of the borderlands are stirring up again.
Within the shattered star belt, the remaining aura of the Myriad Realms King Map completely dissipated.
Ye Fan withdrew his Sacred Body Qi and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Xiao Yan and Lin Dong arrived from behind.
Although Ye Fan had removed most of the seals from Xiao Yan's body, his face was still somewhat pale.
Lin pressed his palm against his chest; the injury he had sustained from the aftershocks of the Myriad Realms Returning to Nothingness had not yet healed.
Hong Yi, in his avatar, stood beside Zhao Feng, closing the scroll in his hand.
He looked at Zhao Feng and sighed, "Brother Zhao, you're still too impulsive."
Zhao Feng put away the Heavenly Emperor Seal and said, "I did not kill him."
Hong Yi shook his head. "It's not about whether to kill or not, but since we know we can't kill him, we shouldn't act for the sake of momentary pleasure."
“If Fang Han uses this incident to his advantage, he can accuse you of disregarding the law and harming those in custody.”
Zhao Feng laughed, "If he dares to say it, I dare to confront him face to face."
Ye Fan nodded, "Wang Lin set up the scheme, Li Qiye participated in the battle, Fang Yuan made a move, and the Myriad Realms King Map ignited the Ruins of Return. We were all present and can testify to this."
Xiao Yan also cursed, "Lin Dong and I were captured and used as bait. We can't deny it even if we want to."
Lin Dong spoke in a deep voice, "If the Immortal Alliance really wants to investigate, they have no shortage of evidence."
Zhao Feng looked at Hong Yi, "Fang Yuan and others harmed their fellow disciples, and the witness is right here. If Fang Han insists on protecting them, then this is not a trial, but rather mutual protection among accomplices."
Hong Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded. "The reasoning is indeed sound."
"But Fang Han won't just talk about reason."
Zhao Feng sneered, "Then let him try. At worst, we'll both perish."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan frowned. "Brother Zhao, we cannot underestimate Fang Han. The fact that he could get Hongmeng Daoist to bring the decree means he has already made arrangements for his escape route."
Just as Hong Yi was about to speak, the scroll in his hand suddenly opened on its own.
Page after page of text burst forth with golden light.
His expression changed instantly.
Ye Fan immediately sensed something was wrong, "What's wrong?"
Hong Yi raised his hand and pressed down on the scripture scroll, his expression grave. "Something has happened at the Ninth Fortress."
Xiao Yan and Lin Dong turned their heads at the same time.
Ye Fan's face darkened.
The Ninth Fortress is Zhao Feng's foundation on the Infinite Continent, and most of his relatives and friends remain there!
It's no exaggeration to say that...
The Ninth Fortress is Zhao Feng's Achilles' heel!
Hong Yi raised his head, speaking much faster than before, "The demon army is pressing in, with thirty-six demon nests sweeping across the border. I'm afraid there are demon experts at the seventh level of the Hongmeng Realm among them!"
Xiao Yan's expression changed. "Seventh level of the Primordial Chaos Realm? Is it really worth it for the Ninth Fortress?"
Lin Dong asked in a low voice, "Are they here for the Ninth Fortress, or for Zhao Feng?"
Ye Fan remained silent.
Hong Yi did not answer immediately.
Zhao Fenggang defeated Fang Yuan in the borderlands, forced Hongmeng Daoist to retreat, and the Myriad Realms King Map also fled into the void.
The incident just ended here, and then something happened at the Ninth Pass.
The timing was too perfect.
Zhao Feng remained calm, saying, "I already know."
Hong Yi was taken aback. "You had this planned all along?"
Zhao Feng raised his hand and slashed, tearing open the desolate void.
From the other side of the crack, the faint sound of war drums could be heard.
That war drum was not the Immortal Alliance's war drum.
It was the blood drum used by the demons during their invasion.
As soon as the drum sounded, the turbulent currents on both sides of the crack trembled.
Before stepping into the crevice, Zhao Feng turned back to Ye Fan and the others, saying, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so don't get too close." (End of Chapter)
