Feng Lintao was conferred the t.i.tle of Heavenly King of the human race!

This matter caused quite a commotion. During this period of time, the human race had won increasingly more battles against the Demon Feather Holy Land.

Some of the victories seemed to be caused by leaks of information.

In addition, the human race seemed to know the information of the experts in the Demon Feather Holy Land like the back of their hand. They even had a clear grasp of their internal connections.

This caused the Demon Feather Holy Land to feel pressure.

There was also the strategic layout of this war.

On this point, the human race took the initiative.

What gave the Demon Feather Holy Land the most headache was the uprooting of the spies!

Ever since the two sides started fighting, the Demon Feather Holy Land had secretly sent spies in many areas to deal with the isolating array formation. Some were death warriors, choosing to strike directly.

Some were hiding.

However, all their efforts were aimed at disrupting and destroying the isolating formation.

This was a significant matter, so the Demon Feather Holy Land had prepared a detailed plan for it.

However, during this time, the spies were clearly exposed.

All of this intensified around the time Feng Lintao was conferred the t.i.tle of marquis, growing increasingly fierce until now, with his elevation to king, reaching its peak.

However, if that was all, it couldn’t prove Feng Lintao’s use and value. After all, there were many things that the Demon Feather Holy Land knew very well. With Feng Lintao’s previous ident.i.ty, it was impossible for him to know of their strategies.

It was just that… during the conferment of the t.i.tle of king, the blood sacrifice of ten thousand prisoners of war of the holy land was too great a matter for the Demon Feather Holy Land.

These ten thousand prisoners of war had their relatives, Dao companions, fellow disciples, and friends. The influence radiated outward, affecting tens or even hundreds of times more people.

It would be fine if they died on the battlefield. Although the members of the Demon Feather Holy Land would be sad, it wouldn’t cause intense anger. However, if they were sacrificed in public…

This would instantly incite the hatred of all the clansmen in the Demon Feather Holy Land!

Also, the existence of the array formation caused there to be very few human prisoners of war in the Demon Feather Holy Land. Hence, if they wanted to take revenge in the same way, it would be like punching cotton. There would be no effect.

This would instead increase the anger of the members of the Demon Feather Holy Land.

And as the executor of this task and the one who was being honored and promoted to king, Feng Lintao would directly become the hated target of all the clansmen within the Demon Feather Holy Land!

Hence, when the Empress’ words rang out and Feng Lintao thanked her excitedly, outside the isolating array formation, the holy lands rumbled.

Numerous divine senses erupted from within and locked onto the array formation area.

The divine senses were filled with monstrous anger and unprecedented killing intent!

No matter how smart one was or what choices were made, this matter… was unsolvable.

Because this was determined by necessity, it was an open strategy!

It was like a raging fire that swept through the world.

This caused Feng Lintao’s thoughts to surge intensely.

He was cunning and smart. The things that had happened during this time had long made him anxious, especially now… Although he looked excited on the surface, he was already extremely fl.u.s.tered inwardly.

This wasn’t a conspiracy to begin with, so he was very clear about the meaning of this matter.

‘This is forcing me to have no way out!’

‘They are thoroughly binding me to the human race…’

‘And this is only one of the motives. That Empress has a second motive…’

‘She clearly wants to increase my value and make me fatter. At the very least, She wants most of the people of the Demon Feather Holy Land to hate me to the extreme.’

‘In that case, even if the higher-ups of the Demon Feather Holy Land realize 1 am being wronged and see the real issue—considering many of the secrets 1 didn’t even know about—it wouldn’t matter anymore!!’

‘If most of the clansmen of the Demon Feather Holy Land hate me to the core, then in reality, it’s no longer important if I’m wronged or not.’

‘I’ve become a target. For the Holy Land, putting the blame for their failures on me can further incite their people’s madness and fighting spirit, which will be advantageous for their war efforts.’

‘For the human race, if I attract endless hatred from the holy land, I will naturally become a bargaining chip for them.”

‘If the human race suffers a defeat in the war, they can simply hand me over to obtain other war benefits!’

‘After all, the human race has pushed me to such an extreme that the killing intent of the holy land’s people toward me surpa.s.ses everything.’

‘Even though the higher-ups of the Demon Feather Holy Land are well aware of this, they will definitely take advantage of the mood and public opinion of their clansmen and agree to this matter.’

‘How ruthless!’

‘Be it the human race or the holy lands, they’re all a bunch of schemers!’

As his thoughts fluctuated, Feng Lintao maintained the excitement on his face. He looked at the holy land outside the array formation and then at the human race’s palace. In the end, he made up his mind and raised his hand before pressing down on the Demon Feather cultivators below.

His cultivation base erupted!

The world rumbled. One-tenth of the suppressed Demon Feather cultivators’ bodies collapsed and their bodies and souls were destroyed!

Outside the array formation, the people from the Demon Feather Holy Land roared angrily when they saw this.

Feng Lintao’s eyes were bloodshot as he put on a bloodthirsty expression. Under the attention of the human race, he walked forward and the slaughter… commenced again.

With the death of the prisoners of war and the blood splas.h.i.+ng around, Feng Lintao seemed to be enjoying himself. The cultivators from the holy land outside the array formation were all terrified.

They had watched helplessly as their clansmen died. Among them were their elders, fellow disciples, and descendants… Such a death was unseemly and cruel.

However, this was war. It had nothing to do with right or wrong.

From the moment the holy lands descended and the invasion war began, it had already determined the standpoint of both sides.

Either you die or I die!

Hence, the human race stared coldly. It was the same for the various races. Xu Qing didn’t stop it but Erniu licked his lips.

Feng Lintao started slaughtering even more crazily.

He only cared about his own interests. What he cared about was the consequences of killing the captives, not the process.

Finally, after fifteen minutes, when Feng Lintao smacked the last prisoner of war to death, his entire body was covered in blood and his expression was sinister. He looked up at the holy land and sneered.

After that, he bowed in the direction of the human palace.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

From the cruelty of his attacks, his words, his actions, and his att.i.tude, one couldn’t find any problems with Feng Lintao. He perfectly cooperated with the human race and made himself a target of hatred of the Demon Feather Holy Land.

Xu Qing looked at this scene from afar and a dark glint appeared in his eyes.

Erniu, who was beside him, smiled.

“This Little Feng indeed has some ambitions. There shouldn’t be a need for us to force him. He probably already had a follow-up plan before he came to the human race…”

“So, in order to ensure that the fis.h.i.+ng is successful, Little Qing, in the next few days, we have to find an opportunity to get five pieces of his flesh to use my Ruthless Dao of Great Five Bulls Tracing the Origin!”

Xu Qing had the same thought. He nodded when he heard this.

After that, the two of them disappeared in the crowd.

Half a month pa.s.sed by.

In this half a month, the battles between the human race and the Demon Feather Holy Land became even more frequent. The holy lands sent more spies.

Moreover, all the spies had an additional mission other than the order to destroy the array formation.

Kill Feng Lintao!

In this half a month, the public execution of prisoners of war happened once again. Moreover, many of the contributions on the battlefield were also contributed to Feng Lintao by the human race.

All of this caused Feng Lintao’s name to rise ill.u.s.triously in the Eastern w.a.n.ggu and he finally became the publicly acknowledged number one target of hatred of the Demon Feather Holy Land!

Countless members of the Demon Feather Race wished they could devour him alive.

Hence, the a.s.sa.s.sination naturally happened.

In order to protect this hero, the human race increased the guards around Feng Lintao.

Feng Lintao seemed to have completely acknowledged the human race from the depths of his soul. There were even a few times when he took the initiative to apply to go out and kill enemies. It was as though he hated the Demon Feather Holy Land even more than the human race.

However, under the benevolence of the Empress’s holy heart, he wasn’t allowed to leave the array formation; instead, he was permitted to search for spies within the boundaries of the human imperial region.

This made Feng Lintao feel very regretful. However, he obeyed the Empress’ decree. After that, he killed the spies extremely cruelly. He occasionally suffered injuries but they were all light injuries.

This lasted until… another seven days pa.s.sed.

The Demon Feather Great Emperor appeared and the small-scale battles between the human race and the Demon Feather Holy Land turned into a war.

Several Rulers descended and many Soul Acc.u.mulation cultivators partic.i.p.ated.

On the human race’s side, the Empress personally arrived at the battlefield and the past Human Emperor Corpse G.o.ds also descended on the battlefield.

The Heavenly Kings of the various races also appeared. A dazzling battle erupted.

At the critical moment of this battle, when there was not much high-level power within the imperial region power, an a.s.sa.s.sination was carried out on the outskirts of the human imperial capital!

The ones carrying out the a.s.sa.s.sination mission were two Seven Worlds Soul Acc.u.mulation cultivators from the Demon Feather Holy Land!

They had been hiding for a long time and hadn’t been exposed. Now, they didn’t hesitate to launch a thunderous attack.

The target of the a.s.sa.s.sination was none other than Feng Lintao, who had returned with his personal guards!

The timing of this a.s.sa.s.sination was extremely precise and the process was incomparably tragic.

All of Feng Lintao’s personal guards died in battle and he couldn’t escape. His body collapsed and his soul was destroyed. His head was taken away.

Although King Zhen Yan rushed over as fast as he could, he was still a step too late. He managed to hold back one of the Demon Feather Holy Land’s a.s.sa.s.sins but he couldn’t stop the other from leaving with Feng Lintao’s head.

He could only take away all the corpses of the personal guards who had sworn to protect Feng Lintao to the death.

After this matter spread, cheers rang out from the side of the Demon Feather Holy Land outside the array formation. As for the Empress, her expression was gloomy. However, She clearly didn’t have the energy to consider this matter now. The war… continued.

However, no one noticed that after King Zhen Yan returned to the residence of the human capital with the corpses of Feng Lintao’s personal guards, the corpses turned illusory and transformed into specks of crystal light that gathered into the figure of the Human Emperor Eastern Triumph.

These personal guards were all fake.

King Zhen Yan wasn’t surprised by this. He only lowered his head and bowed. After that, he looked into the distance and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, outside the human emperor’s region and at the border of the Gray Sea Region, there was a hidden cave in a desolate mountain.

This cave was hidden and this place was desolate, so it was very difficult to detect.

At that moment, in the cave, a figure sat cross-legged.

This body fused into the darkness and looked a little blurry.

Awhile later, the eyes of this figure suddenly opened, revealing a sharp glint. Its entire body shone, causing the pitch-black cave to have a hint of light.

With the help of this light, one could tell that this figure was a youth. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of a human. However, on his forehead, there was a red line mark formed by countless tiny runes.

That was the symbol of the Liaoxuan Race and it was quickly concealed.

“Be it the Empress or the Demon Feather Holy Land, what can they do to me?!”

The youth mumbled.

“I went to the human race not for long-term dependence. Although the Empress’ overt strategy put me in a pa.s.sive position, overall… it hasn’t deviated from my plan!”

“Finally, feigned death successfully!”

“Next, when the outside world thinks that I’ve died, my Liaoxuan body can be considered to have truly escaped karma!”

This person was none other than Feng Lintao!
