The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2593 - 2568: Feng Family Crisis! (5 Updates)

Lin Bai declared, "The second matter is probing the Demon Sect to uncover precisely what schemes they harbor. What will their next action be!"

"Understand your foe and yourself, and victory comes in every battle!"

"That's why I headed first to the Phoenix Song Area, hoping to gather some clues!"

Feng Wenjun nodded with a furrowed brow, replying, "Investigating that will prove extremely challenging."

Lin Bai inquired, "Why is that?"

Feng Wenjun explained, "These days, Demon Sect followers swarm the Phoenix Song Area like ox hairs, but most are fakes masquerading as Demon Sect disciples. They exploit the Demon Sect's name for all kinds of atrocities, plundering and pillaging!"

"Yet not a single genuine Demon Sect disciple, let alone core figures, has appeared!"

Lin Bai creased his brow and remarked, "That complicates things."

Feng Wenjun assured him, "Brother Lin, don't worry—I'll dispatch Feng Family disciples to look into this too!"

Lin Bai nodded gratefully, saying, "Many thanks, Brother Feng..."

Feng Wenjun offered a faint smile, "Brother Lin, just hold on a moment..."

Mid-sentence from Feng Wenjun, a massive quake erupted from the Storm Mountain Range.

"Boom!"

The intense tremor rippled across the entire Storm Mountain Range!

Feng Wenjun's words halted abruptly.

Tension gripped Lin Bai and Feng Wenjun's faces; they sprang up instantly, exiting the Great Hall to gaze at the sky beyond.

"What source sparked this uproar?" Lin Bai demanded at once.

Feng Wenjun's gaze sharpened as he gauged silently, then uttered, "It's the Mountain Protection Array! Trouble—my brother remains there..."

With those words, Feng Wenjun vaulted skyward, dashing toward the Mountain Protection Array.

Right then, Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner reached Lin Bai's side, questioning, "Lin Bai, what's our move now?"

Lin Bai responded icily, "We head over to check it out!"

As he finished, the trio rocketed into the sky, trailing Feng Wenjun tightly toward the Mountain Protection Array.

En route, they glanced upward and witnessed the defensive magic circle above the Storm Mountain Range gradually dissolving into starlight, vanishing in the air.

Lan Yuxin uttered coldly, "The Feng Family's Mountain Protection Array lies broken!"

Lin Bai gave a somber nod.

At once, the three sped to the Storm Mountain Range's forefront.

Shattered, the Feng Family's Mountain Protection Array left the Storm Mountain Range exposed fully amid the Phoenix Song Area's skies and earth!

Upon arrival at the Storm Mountain Range, Lin Bai and his allies spotted Feng Family fighters arrayed in battle gear at the gateway, staring outward.

Lin Bai peered ahead and beheld innumerable black-robed fighters smirking coldly at the Feng Family inside the Storm Mountain Range!

"Could those be Demon Sect disciples?"

Hu Xiner whispered upon spotting the black-robed figures.

During their approach, Lin Bai and companions had observed a signature trait of Demon Sect disciples—black robes donned, bamboo hats hiding faces!

This had evidently turned into the hallmark garb for Demon Sect disciples!

"Hundreds of thousands must be there." Lan Yuxin stated gravely.

Confronted by the vast assembly of Demon Sect martial artists before the Storm Mountain Range, Lin Bai's brow furrowed deeply too.

Right then, amid the black-robed throng, Lin Bai spied a standout youth!

"Shen Qin!"

Lin Bai's face chilled upon recognizing the youth.

Post the Ice Lake Sea clash, Lin Bai spared Shen Qin's life.

Shen Qin fled the East Continent Academy, his location a mystery.

Shen Qin reappeared now before Lin Bai, his cultivation having surged to the Sixth Layer of Death Reversal Realm!

There, Shen Qin positioned himself ahead of the hundreds of thousands in black robes, icily addressing the Storm Mountain Range, "Summon the Feng Family Patriarch to parley!"

Lin Bai lingered quietly among the Feng Family ranks, observing Shen Qin.

Shen Qin's shout drew a cluster of middle-aged powerhouses who ascended into the air, confronting him with blade-like glares.

"I serve as the Feng Family Patriarch! Who might you be?" one middle-aged man declared.

Lin Bai glanced and identified the Feng Family Patriarch as father to Feng Wenjun and Feng Wujun.

Shen Qin grinned, announcing, "I am Shen Qin, among the Demon Sect's Eight Great Emissaries!"

"The Demon Sect Holy Master has long admired the Feng Family's fame and holds great respect. He dispatched envoys before to invite allegiance, yet the Feng Family rejected our Holy Master's kindness and slew numerous emissaries!"

The Feng Family Patriarch retorted coldly, "Recruitment? Dispatching over a dozen Wending Realm powerhouses as envoys?"

Shen Qin smirked, "Feng Family Patriarch, I speak for the Demon Sect now and offer one final chance. Should the Feng Family submit to the Demon Sect and accept the Life and Death Talisman, safety awaits your clan!"

The Feng Family Patriarch replied darkly, "What if I decline?"

Shen Qin laughed lightly, eyeing the black-robed masses behind, "Feng Family Patriarch, behold my forces. They hunger for your Feng Family's treasures!"

"Five hundred thousand Demon Sect warriors stand ready!"

"Even more Demon Sect forces converge from every corner of the Phoenix Song Area!"

"Feng Family Patriarch, ponder wisely!"

Shen Qin urged with a grin.

The Feng Family Patriarch's visage grew stormy as he said, "Grant me a moment then, Shen Qin, for deliberation!"

Shen Qin chuckled, "Feng Family Patriarch, do you mistake me for a toddler? Think I won't spot your delay tactic?"

"I grant the Feng Family Patriarch three breaths to choose!"

"Past three breaths without decision, I'll choose for you."

Shen Qin proclaimed.

The Feng Family Patriarch's countenance turned ashen.

"One!" Shen Qin counted smilingly.

"Two!" Shen Qin continued without pause.

"Three!" Shen Qin counted with a smile.

Upon finishing the count, Shen Qin queried, "Feng Family Patriarch, decided yet?"

The Feng Family Patriarch inhaled deeply, declaring coldly, "My Feng Family may not rank among the Barbaric Ancient Continent's top clans, but we shun the role of petty bandits. Becoming the Demon Sect's blade for slaughter—we cannot yield!"

Shen Qin sneered, "I anticipated the Feng Family Patriarch's words!"

"Regrettably so!"

"Charge!"

Shen Qin lifted his arm, unleashing roars from the hundreds of thousands of Demon Sect warriors behind, who surged madly toward the Storm Mountain Range amid wild cries.

"Kill!"

"I've long despised the Feng Family. Today we butcher heaps of their trash!"

"Heh heh, the Feng Family women are mine—I'll lavish them with care!"

"Kill!"

Obeying Shen Qin's order, the black-robed horde stormed the Storm Mountain Range!

The Feng Family Patriarch's face hardened; he gestured sharply, "Fight back!"

Feng Family warriors poured forth from the Storm Mountain Range, diving into combat.

Instantly, the two armies collided ferociously mid-air.

Amid their clash, spiritual power explosions, agonized screams, and airborne blood burst forth together.

The vast battle warped the heavens, eclipsing sun and moon!

All combatants staked their lives in the fray!
