Su Changfeng matches Zhou Hongyun's formidable Ninth Grade strength, stunning onlookers. As the battle rages, Shen Mao and Ren Xuetao arrive, realizing Su Changfeng might be a Primordial Master and considering asking for his help to restore Shen Mao's cultivation. Situ Yuan, refusing to accept Zhou Hongyun's struggle, orders other Situ Family experts to attack Su Changfeng, much to Situ Feng's dismay and You Meng's anticipation.

"Situ Yuan is too despicable, isn’t he? Bullying with numbers, what kind of great family is that?"

"The Situ Family’s true face is really ugly!"

Shen Mao and Ren Xuetao’s originally hopeful expressions changed in an instant. The thirty masters of the Situ Family, formidable figures within Xingluo Territory, were now all mobilized. This was undoubtedly very disadvantageous for Su Changfeng.

"What do we do now?" Shen Mao asked anxiously, looking at Ren Xuetao.

Ren Xuetao wanted to help Su Changfeng, but given the present situation, it was not his place to intervene. With the strength of the few guards at his side, they would surely die upon engagement, so there was no help he could offer.

"There’s no helping it; we can only wait for a miracle to happen." Ren Xuetao sighed deeply.

Shen Mao was so worried that cold sweat started to appear. The hard-earned hope seemed to be about to vanish.

At this moment, a silhouette appeared beside Su Changfeng. It looked like a woman, with a graceful figure, standing on the high mountain top, resembling a goddess from the heavens.

"Huh, why is there suddenly another woman?"

"Yeah, how did she just appear? Could she be an Immortal?"

"In a battle of strong foes, why is she, a young woman, causing trouble?"

"..."

As people started to discuss, Wang Junyi looked at the spot next to him. Clearly, Chen Qingqing had always been standing beside him, yet how had she suddenly appeared next to Su Changfeng?

"Master Aunt!" Wang Junyi’s eyes widened instantly, filled with undisguised astonishment as he murmured, "So Master Aunt is a master as well?"

"Why have you come over?" Su Changfeng smiled and asked upon seeing Chen Qingqing approach.

"Since the Situ Family shows no morality first, they can’t blame us for being impolite. I’ll handle these small fry," Chen Qingqing said.

"Ah." Su Changfeng sighed somewhat helplessly, saying, "It seems that we, siblings, are destined to shock Xingluo."

"Isn’t that good? After this, I doubt anyone will dare to offend us casually." Chen Qingqing replied with a smile, appearing unconcerned.

With Chen Qingqing’s assistance, Su Changfeng indeed felt much less pressure. Therefore, when confronting the thirty masters of the Situ Family, they did not seem overly strained; besides, Su Changfeng still held a magic treasure for victory, so he was completely unworried.

Of course, if it weren’t absolutely necessary, Su Changfeng would certainly not use it, or else the shock would not just be limited to Xingluo.

"Oh, there’s actually a surprise." You Meng, who was watching from afar, also became increasingly solemn. She hadn’t expected Chen Qingqing to possess such strength; dealing single-handedly with over a dozen from the thirty masters of the Situ Family, she managed it effortlessly.

"Who exactly are you?" You Meng’s eyes were filled with confusion, given her understanding of Xingluo, these two appeared suddenly with no prior signs. Hence, she was utterly perplexed as to how two such formidable masters could suddenly emerge within Xingluo Territory.

By now, Situ Yuan’s mood was akin to swallowing feces, extremely uncomfortable.

The thirty masters, considered his greatest trump card, he initially thought Su Changfeng would surely be defeated immediately but never expected Su Changfeng would have assistance, crucially one that was unexpectedly profound. The thirty masters of his Situ Family showed no advantage at all.

If this continues, he truly couldn’t determine who will laugh last.

"Grandpa, it’s really unexpected that he has help, even if it’s only one person, judging by the state of things on the field, it shouldn’t be a problem." Situ Feng finally let go of his worry, his expression relaxed again.

This time, Situ Yuan was in no mood to bicker with Situ Feng, his eyes tightly focused on the distant battle scene, as the outcome determined his life and death. If the dozens of masters ultimately failed to overcome Su Changfeng and his team, his fate would only be death.

"Master and Master Aunt are both fighting; it would be inappropriate for me just to watch." With these words, Wang Junyi joined the melee with his Blood Lion.

Though Wang Junyi’s current strength was only fifth-rank, the Blood Lion was a Seven-star Beast. While it couldn’t confront the strong directly, it was certainly capable of some harassment.

This indeed helped Su Changfeng’s team alleviate some pressure, enabling them to quicker resolve their opponents.

From afar, one could see the masters of the Situ Family continually falling from the high mountain peak, while Situ Yuan’s face grew increasingly dark.

"Impressive, truly too impressive."

"Indeed, the Situ Family’s thirty masters turned out not to be of much use; could it be that the young man is already a Primordial Master?"

"Such strength is truly terrifying; Situ Yuan’s face has turned black. Who could have imagined that the Situ Family’s thirty masters would meet such an end?"

"Who’s to say otherwise?"

"..."

At this time, everyone’s gaze was filled with admiration for Su Changfeng in the distance; even many cultivators outside the city were swept by tumultuous waves in their hearts.

Many here may never, in their lifetime, have the chance to witness a true confrontation between masters, but this time, they not only broadened their horizons but were privileged to witness a battle within Xingluo Territory that comes once in a hundred years.

Even Shen Mao and Ren Xuetao could not control the excitement within their hearts.

"Looks like we guessed right." Shen Mao said excitedly.

Ren Xuetao couldn’t stop nodding repeatedly, saying, "From today onwards, his name will surely resound through Xingluo; Situ Yuan took a major fall this time, even if he eventually dies at Su Changfeng’s hands, the Emperor likely wouldn’t do anything to him."

"Indeed, on the Tianyuan Continent, strength has always spoken louder than words; how could a small Situ Yuan compare to a Primordial Master?" Shen Mao trembled all over, he stared intensely at the distant battle for fear of missing any exciting scenes.

Situ Yuan was truly in deep despair; he never expected things to unfold this way, nor did he foresee that the thirty masters he relied upon would meet such a fate.

When Situ Yuan first gathered these thirty masters, countless great families discussed, with many secretly envying him, envying the ability to attract so many strong ones, while many, fearing the presence of these masters, visited in person, hoping to ally with the Situ Family.

To a certain extent, the Situ Family’s current status heavily relied on these dozens of individuals.

Yet now, as each one continued to fall, the Situ Family’s status and strength weakened gradually. For Situ Yuan, it felt like slicing pieces from his flesh.
