Although Dongfang Zhu was not severely injured when Dongfang Qian kicked him, he was extremely shocked. He did not expect this at all. He could not understand why his father had done that. It did not take long before he turned pale when he saw what happened next.

Bang!

A loud noise reverberated in the Main Hall as Clan Leader Dongfang Qian from the Dongfang Clan kneeled down at Duan Ling Tian's feet. This scene was similar to when Qiu Zhi had knelt down earlier. Dongfang Qian looked like a humble servant bowing to his master.

"M-my lord! Please forgive my son for his disobedience! Please forgive him!" Dongfang Qian said in a trembling voice and he kneeled in front of Duan Ling Tian. Fear and anxiety could be heard in his voice. It was as though the person who stood before him was not human but a Grim Reaper.

"If I didn't hear wrongly, your son said you intend to kill me when you asked the Qiu Clan to hand me over?" Duan Ling Tian said calmly as he looked at Dongfang Qian who was kneeling by his feet. A hint of killing intent could be heard in his calm voice.

"No! No! That's not true!" Dongfang Qian hurriedly denied this as his body trembled in fear.

"Well… Since that's not true, you can swear on the lightning penalty oath that you didn't think of killing me at all!" Duan Ling Tian said. It was obvious he did not believe Dongfang Qian's words at all and was intentionally making things difficult for him.

Dongfang Qian's expression changed drastically when he heard Duan Ling Tian's request.

The expression of the people from Dongfang Clan, including Dongfang Zhu, changed drastically as well when they heard Duan Ling Tian's request. The purpose of their visit to the Qiu Clan was to ask them to hand over the purple-clad young man to them so they could kill him! How could Dongfang Qian swear on the lightning penalty oath like Duan Ling Tian had requested him to?

If Dongfang Qian swore on the lightning penalty oath, he would definitely be struck by lightning until he died!

'The Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan… is finished!' Second Elder Qiu Zhi who was standing behind Qiu Mu Qing thought to himself as he watched the scene unfolding before his eyes. He was certain Dongfang Qian was going to die.

"My lord, I-I was wrong! It's a mistake! Please forgive me, my lord! Please forgive me!" Dongfang Qian began to beg tirelessly when he saw Duan Ling Tian's gaze turning colder and colder. He could sense the impending danger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dongfang Qian began to kowtow. It seemed like he had no intention of stopping anytime soon.

"Humph!" Duan Ling Tian scoffed as his expression gradually hardened. It seemed like he was not moved by Dongfang Qian at all.

"I have this rule," Duan Ling Tian said in an icy-cold voice, "I won't allow those who intend to kill me live!"

At this moment, Dongfang Qian realized there was no way Duan Ling Tian would let him go. He stopped kowtowing and said, "Then you should die!" He moved and shot up to his feet.

Sou!

In just a blink of an eye, Dongfang Qian seemed to have transformed into a cannonball as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian at a high speed.

Based on how quickly Dongfang Qian had mobilized his Saint Origin, it was obvious he had been planning this from the beginning.

Waa!

While Dongfang Qian shot forward, whirlpools began to appear around Duan Ling Tian again. It began to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Qiu Clan's Main Hall, raising Duan Ling Tian's Sun Saint Energy to its limit!

Meanwhile, Dongfang Qian was only a few feet away from Duan Ling Tian.

"You have to be strong if you want to kill me!" Duan Ling Tian said calmly as wind from Dongfang Qian's movement blew around him.

Almost at the same time…

Xiu!

Just like before, the short-lived sound of a sword whistling in the air reverberated in the Main Hall.

Following that, everyone only saw Duan Ling Tian stomping his feet and as he leaped 3 meters up into the air.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian leaped, Clan Leader Dongfang Qian of Dongfang Clan suffered the same fate as Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan. He was decapitated! His body and his head slammed against one of the walls in the Main Hall, leaving a copious amount of blood in his wake.

Bang! Bang!

Two loud bangs could be heard as the body parts fell to the ground, sending chills running up everyone's spines. After all, the person whom Duan Ling Tian killed was not just a cultivator at the Quintessential Saint Stage like Qiu Gang Yi, he was a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse. Someone like that was considered one of the top elites in Clarity City! Someone like that had just died in just a blink of an eye!

The silence felt palpable in the Qiu Clan's Main Hall.

"How weak! He couldn't even withstand a strike!" Duan Ling Tian said disdainfully, causing everyone to regain his senses.

"F-f-father!!!" When Dongfang Clan's Second Young Master, Dongfang Zhu, regained his senses, his face was pale and his eyes were filled with fear. He did not think his father who had seemed invincible to him was killed just like that by Li Feng who was a sectless cultivator!

Dongfang Zhu felt regretful at this moment. Why did he doggedly try to win Qiu Mu Qing's affection when she had made it clear she was not interested and rejected him? He would not have gone to the restaurant with Qiu Mu Qing today if he was not so persistent. If he did not go to the restaurant, he would not have met such a sinister and powerful person! Things would not have escalated to this extent if he did not meet this person.

'Run!' Only one thought was left in Dongfang Zhu's mind. He shot one last look at Dongfang Qian's body and his body seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning as he charged toward the entrance of the Qiu Clan's Main Hall. He only wanted to leave this place. His father was killed even after he begged for mercy. He did not think Li Feng was going to show him any mercy.

However, could Dongfang Zhu escape?

"Trying to escape?" Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow when he saw Dongfang Zhu trying to escape. His Sun Saint Energy began to stir immediately, but he did not move. This was because someone else had made a move.

Swoosh!

Dongfang Zhu was easily caught like a chick that had been caught by an eagle before he could even leave the Qiu Clan's Main Hall.

"G-Grand Elder… What are you doing?!" Dongfang Zhu said in disbelief. He was shocked when he saw the person who had caught him like a helpless chick.

The person who had caught Dongfang Zhu was none other than the Grand Elder of Dongfang Clan! He was a very tall old man. He was almost two meters tall. His body looked strong as well. He really did appear like an eagle as he clutched onto Dongfang Zhu.

"Lord Li Feng!" The Grand Elder of Dongfang Clan ignored Dongfang Zhu and placed him in front of Duan Ling Tian. He asked Duan Ling Tian respectfully, "Dongfang Zhu… How do you plan to deal with Dongfang Zhu, Lord Li Feng?"

"How do I plan to deal with him?" Duan Ling Tian looked at the Grand Elder of Dongfang Clan coldly before he said, "Did you not hear what I said earlier?"

When the Grand Elder of Dongfang Clan heard Duan Ling Tian's words, his heart sank. He looked at Dongfang Zhu with a piercing gaze.

"No! No!" Dongfang Zhu screamed and his expression changed drastically when he saw the Grand Elder of Dongfang Clan's gaze had turned piercing. He knew something was wrong when he saw this. "Grand Elder, y-you can't do this! You can't kill me! You can't do this!"

Snap!

The Grand Elder of Dongfang Clan snapped Dongfang Zhu's neck, effectively killing him. His action was fast and decisive!

The people from Qiu Clan could not help but shudder when they saw this. The Grand Elder of Dongfang Clan was truly ruthless.

After killing Dongfang Zhu, the Grand Elder of Dongfang Clan said respectfully and apologetically, "Lord Li Feng, I came today because I was misled by Dongfang Qian and his son. I didn't intend to offend you, Lord Li Feng… Please forgive me!"

At this moment, the Second Elder of Dongfang Clan quickly said, "Lord Li Feng, similar to the Grand Elder, it's not my intention to offend you!"

Bang! Bang!

As for the two ordinary elders from Dongfang Clan, they quickly kneeled on the ground with trembling bodies. "Lord Li Feng, please show us mercy!"

The shocking scene continued to unfold in the Qiu Clan's Main Hall.

A seemingly ordinary purple-clad young man stood unmoving as two noble-looking old men bowed respectfully. Their faces were filled with anxiety as though they were criminals awaiting their punishments. Not far away, another two old men kneeled on the ground with trembling bodies.

'Duan Ling Tian… Who is he?' Qiu Mu Qing thought to herself. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly. She was extremely curious about Duan Ling Tian's background.

'Wait… D-Duan Ling Tian? He's… he's Duan Ling Tian?!' Qiu Mu Qing seemed to have recalled something as her eyes widened in shock. 'C-could h-he be the great prodigy from the Fire Worship Sect?' After thinking about it, Qiu Mu Qing remembered the prodigy who had recently risen in ranks in the Fire Worship Sect!
