The destruction of Overlord Star Mountain Villa spread like wildfire.
When people learned that a genius named Chu Feng had single-handedly killed the peerless prodigies Hun Lei and Hun Yong, everyone found it inconceivable.
Especially the methods Chu Feng had used. Many refused to believe it was real.
How could a mere sixth-rank Supreme possibly kill an eighth-rank Supreme like Hun Lei?
Yet whether they believed it or not, the news sent shockwaves throughout this vast world.
Not for any other reason, but because Hun Lei and Hun Yong had been the most famous geniuses of this realm.
When the news reached the ears of the Soul Lock Sect Master, he did not hesitate. He immediately gathered the sect’s top experts and led them straight to Overlord Star Mountain Villa.
However, when they arrived and saw the utter devastation, the sect master, who had been burning with murderous intent and determined to avenge his disciples, suddenly panicked.
Even Overlord Star Mountain Villa had been wiped out. Weren’t they just marching to their deaths?
Realising something was gravely wrong, he turned back before even entering the ruins and led his elite forces straight back to the Soul Lock Sect.
But when they returned, they found two young and beautiful women sitting casually in front of the sect’s main gate.
When the two women saw the Soul Lock Sect army returning, not only did they show no fear, one of them actually stood up.
“Well, well, you’re finally back.”
“Good, good. I was worried you’d all run away.”
The woman who stood up spoke directly to the sect master.
“Young lady, who are you?”
“Why do you speak so insolently at my Soul Lock Sect?”
The sect master asked in a grave voice.
He was already in a foul mood, but these two women did not seem ordinary, so even though they were being rude, he suppressed his anger and did not explode immediately.
“Sect Master, it’s them! They’re the ones who know that Chu Feng!”
Suddenly, a disciple from the rear of the army rushed forward.
He had been present at the cultivation forbidden zone in Overlord Star Mountain Villa.
He had witnessed part of what happened, but being timid and cowardly, he had slipped away before Hun Lei and the others entered the immortal cave.
He was the only disciple from the Soul Lock Sect who had entered the forbidden zone and survived.
He recognised at a glance that the two women sitting at the sect gate were none other than Song Yun and Song Xue’er, the very same women who had been with Chu Feng.
These two had been outside the immortal cave with Chu Feng, yet at some point they had vanished. No one expected them to come here.
“You know Chu Feng?”
The sect master asked coldly.
“Of course we do. What’s it to you?”
Song Yun replied nonchalantly.
“Tell me where that Chu Feng is, or I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
As the sect master spoke, his pressure surged out, turning into an invisible cage that sealed the entire area.
Yet when Song Xue’er felt that heaven-locking pressure, she merely glanced at it with disdain before shifting her gaze to the army.
Her eyes landed on the disciple who had just identified them.
“Hey, you were at the cultivation forbidden zone in Overlord Star Mountain Villa, weren’t you?”
Song Xue’er asked.
“Yes, I was there. I saw with my own eyes that you two were with that Chu Feng.”
“You’re clearly close to him. Don’t even try to deny it.”
Now that he had backing, the usually cowardly disciple shouted loudly.
But Song Xue’er acted as though she hadn’t heard his shouting and simply said,
“Perfect. Since you were there, this will be easier.”
“I said that day: anyone who bullies my little sister will not die well.”
“You remember those words, don’t you?”
Song Xue’er asked the disciple.
Her words instantly ignited the fury of everyone from the Soul Lock Sect.
“Arrogant brat!”
Suddenly, a vast pressure transformed into invisible claws and shot toward Song Xue’er.
It came from one of the supreme elders of the sect.
Boom.
Yet the moment that invisible pressure neared Song Xue’er, it slammed into an invisible wall and was flung back.
“This…”
Not just the elder who had attacked, but everyone from the Soul Lock Sect was stunned.
That supreme elder was immensely powerful, a first-rank Martial Venerable.
Within the sect, he was second only to the sect master himself!
According to the disciple, Song Xue’er was only a fourth-rank Supreme. How could she possibly block the pressure of a first-rank Martial Venerable?
“Heh…”
At that moment, the corner of Song Xue’er’s mouth curved into a smile.
A cold smile.
Seeing that smile, even the sect master felt a chill in his heart.
He, the master of the great Soul Lock Sect, the strongest person in the sect, involuntarily took a step back.
He panicked. A wave of fear rose within him.
He could not explain why he felt such terror.
But that fear made him deeply uneasy.
“Little wench, let’s see just how capable you really are!”
The elder who had attacked struck again.
This time, he drew his weapon and shot straight toward Song Xue’er.
Hum.
Yet before he could even get close, he was suddenly frozen in mid-air.
“This girl!!!”
At that instant, everyone could finally sense Song Xue’er’s true pressure.
She was not a fourth-rank Supreme.
She was a second-rank Martial Venerable!!!
