"Yes indeed, Junior Brother Xiao Ye, thank you so much for this time!"

The devilish disciples stepped forward, expressing their gratitude to Xiao Ye.

If Xiao Ye hadn't used the Emperor Weapon's ultimate kill this time, certainly some of them would have been injured.

"Little White!"

But Xiao Ye was not in the mood for a chat with the disciples, rather he flew to Little White's side.

Presently, Little White's whole body fur was dyed red with blood, but due to the disciples had fed him Healing Holy Medicine, the injury was temporarily stabilized.

Unfortunately, Little White still suffered severe injuries and was temporarily unable to move.

"Whine!"

Little White's massive body had shrunken, and he whined as if to say he was fine.

A trace of tear sparkled in Xiao Ye's eyes, he carefully cradled Little White and then placed him in his embrace.

This sneak attack by the warriors of the Ultimate Palace, aside from Little White, several other devilish disciples from the Holy Palace were also injured. They planned to rest on the spot for a moment before continuing on their journey.

"Lin Feng, if you encounter dangers and are unwilling to lend a hand, then you may leave on your own!" Xiao Ye stood up and coldly spoke to Lin Feng.

If it were other devilish disciples, it could be overlooked, as these devilish disciples themselves had actively contributed and fought against the warriors of the Ultimate Palace.

However, Lin Feng, who clearly possesses a strong cultivation rumored to have broken through to the Emperor Martial Realm, never really took action, rather he stood by like a bystander, only caring about his own safety.

This infuriated Xiao Ye.

Now, not just other devilish disciples of the Holy Palace, even Little White, whom he viewed as a partner and a brother in life and death, was injured!

If Lin Feng had been willing to act, Little White would definitely not have been injured, and possibly other devilish disciples might not have been injured as well!

Since Lin Feng was unwilling to take action, naturally, there was no need for them to keep him around, nor was there a need for them to fight desperately for Lin Feng.

Hearing Xiao Ye speak like this, the other devilish disciples of the Holy Palace looked towards Lin Feng with a chill in their eyes.

They believed Xiao Ye was right.

Lin Feng, among them, had the strongest cultivation but contributed the least. It seemed like they were fighting for Lin Feng's sake, many of them even got injured, which was intolerable for them.

Compared to Lin Feng, though Xiao Ye's cultivation wasn't the strongest among them, he contributed the most, and his ferocious beast, Little White, also helped a great deal.

Compared to Xiao Ye, Lin Feng simply seemed like nothing more than a minor character.

"Hmph, Xiao Ye, you are not yet the number one disciple of the Holy Palace, do you really need to show off in front of me?" Upon hearing Xiao Ye's words, Lin Feng's expression immediately turned gloomy, and a breeze spun endlessly around his body, his expression sternly fixed on Xiao Ye.

"If that's really what you think, then I, Xiao Ye, won't deny it," Xiao Ye coldly said, gripping the Xiao Blade in his hands tightly.

The grievances between him and Lin Feng had existed since he entered the Earth Hall.

Now, due to several disputes, he disliked Lin Feng's actions even more.

With Lin Feng's kind of attitude, sooner or later, he would become another Jun Shitian, even if cultivated by the Holy Palace, he's still a selfish person—could he be trusted to exert effort for the Holy Palace?

Don't be ridiculous!

"Hehe, it seems like you think you already have that strength. Now that the Holy Palace Master is absent, let's have a showdown to see who is the superior one, who truly deserves the title of the number one disciple of the Holy Palace."

Lin Feng sneered coldly, advancing slowly towards Xiao Ye, and with each step he took, his aura intensified, causing the underground palace to tremble incessantly, as if an earthquake were occurring.

Since being punished by the Holy Palace Master last time, Lin Feng rarely made a move in front of others, and usually, he kept his power hidden. But now, as his cultivation was unveiled, a tremendously vast energy surged, making the Devilish Disciples of the Holy Palace feel a heavy weight on their breath, and immense pressure grew in their hearts.

However, it was obvious that Lin Feng's cultivation had only recently advanced to the Emperor Martial Realm, and his aura was extremely unstable.

"Is it really the cultivation of the Emperor Martial Realm?"

Xiao Ye felt the suppression emanating from Lin Feng and squinted his eyes slightly.

The stronger Lin Feng's cultivation, the angrier he became.

Such an esteemed cultivation of the Emperor Martial Realm, and yet they, a group of martial artists from the King Martial Realm, had to protect and fight desperately for him—it was laughable to even speak of.

A tension, taut as a drawn bow, spread between the two, stirring up clouds of dust and resonating through the Nine Heavens.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At that moment, between Xiao Ye and Lin Feng, figures flickered, and sixteen Devilish Disciples all positioned themselves beside Xiao Ye, staring coldly at Lin Feng, their war intent blazing.

"What are you doing!"

"This conflict is between me and Xiao Ye and has nothing to do with you. Step aside, or don't blame me for showing no mercy!" Lin Feng, seeing the sixteen Devilish Disciples, coldly snorted with a displeased expression.

"Lin Feng, we respect you as our senior brother which is why we have always treated you with respect, but this time you've truly gone too far."

"That's right, Junior Brother Xiao Ye saved us. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also want to strike at him, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

"Lin Feng, we all owe Junior Brother Xiao Ye a favor. If you want to lay a hand on him, you'll have to step over our corpses first, but think it through, what kind of punishment you would face from the Holy Palace Master later!"

…

The sixteen Devilish Disciples stared at Lin Feng with displeased expressions, speaking one after another with very determined attitudes.

Lin Feng's breath hitched, and his body trembled slightly with anger.

For Xiao Ye, these disciples who previously obeyed him willingly, are now turning against him?

Unforgivable!

It's all because of Xiao Ye!

At this moment, killing intent boiled and surged within Lin Feng's heart, nearly uncontrollable.

Yet, he dared not make a move against Xiao Ye.

Although his cultivation had reached the Emperor Martial Realm, just as Xiao Ye guessed, he had only recently advanced and hadn't stabilized his cultivation.

Now, he faced sixteen strong Devilish Disciples and Xiao Ye himself.

The Xiao Blade in Xiao Ye's hand was an Emperor Weapon, after all. Seventeen combined powers, even with his Emperor Martial Realm cultivation, he couldn't withstand them, and his life might even be in danger.

"Fine, consider yourselves ruthless. We shall see!"

After an internal struggle, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

Now that the conflict with Xiao Ye had erupted and couldn't be reconciled, staying here would do him no good.

However, Lin Feng did not notice a ghost-like shadow quietly following behind him.
