"Admit your mistake? Are you an idiot? In this world where the strong rule, deception and trickery are commonplace. Ye Feng was naive, and I seized the chance to eliminate him and take his place. Is that a mistake?" Ming Dao argued.

"He was your mentor. If I recall correctly, when you were ten, he brought you into the Assassin Group, and you’ve always held the title of senior disciple there. Everyone admired you, and the mentor had high hopes for you. I cannot understand why you would betray him. What exactly do you want?" Chen Tianlong grew increasingly angry as he thought.

"Power, absolute power. As long as Ye Feng is around, I am always his disciple. To do anything, I have to get his consent, and even if I make a minor mistake, I must worry about punishment. However, if I am the leader of the Assassin Group, it would be different. I can do whatever I want, freely, above all others." Ming Dao bluntly revealed the truth.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. Ming Dao’s ambition is too great, and keeping someone like him around is truly a disaster.

"Enough. I don’t want to hear any more of your self-righteous reasons. I only have one question: So many brothers in the Assassin Group died because of you. Have you ever felt remorse? This time, over two hundred people died at your hands. Last time during the mission, junior sister and a few other brothers—it was you who harmed them, right? Just tell me, do you have any sense of repentance?" Chen Tianlong asked coldly.

"Haha, Chen Tianlong, are you an idiot? Repentance? It’s not in my dictionary. Yes, I tipped off the enemy during that mission, it was I who betrayed you. The reason is simple: I am a member of the Black Alliance!" Ming Dao laughed aloud, feeling it didn’t matter since Chen Tianlong won’t see the sun of tomorrow.

Swoosh!

As soon as Ming Dao finished speaking, three silver needles flew out from Chen Tianlong’s hand, the last one targeting the Third Elder.

That’s right, the second move of the Soul-Stealing Three Needles series, capable of piercing any defense.

Evidently, Chen Tianlong’s actions were seen by the masters of the five major sects, who quickly tried to block him. But feeling such bizarre speed, everyone quickly stepped aside.

And the silver needle directly pierced Ming Dao’s forehead, passing through his skull, hitting the mark with deadly precision.

Silence!

Deathly silence enveloped the scene as everyone was stunned, watching Ming Dao be killed by Chen Tianlong with one needle, unable to react, only hearing the thud as Ming Dao apparently was no longer alive.

"Huh? Finish him!" Shangguan Ba reacted the fastest, rushing forward and striking a palm.

Facing six-star Celestial Dao strength, Chen Tianlong was indeed worried and hurriedly dodged. At this point, Zhou Botong followed up immediately with another palm strike, forcing Chen Tianlong to defend with full strength, retreating seven or eight steps before stabilizing.

"Whew~"

Chen Tianlong never intended to fight these masters to the end. After all, he’s not a fool; with so many experts present, he could kill one but not a bunch. So he had loudly called out Xiaogu earlier, hoping Xiaogu would hear it and see if he was near the sky around.

From the last incident in Ice City, Chen Tianlong knew that Xiaogu the mighty eagle had been secretly following him. There is a subtle connection between it and Chen Tianlong, always nearby.

In an instant, Chen Tianlong was encircled by five Celestial Dao experts, each with five-star strength or higher. Undoubtedly, these must be the leaders or uncles of the five major sects.

"Everyone, attack together!" Under Shangguan Ba’s command, the five rushed forward, forcing Chen Tianlong only to use the first move of his Soul-Stealing Three Needles strategy, with a relatively wide attack range.

Just as he tossed the needle, a shadow suddenly flashed out, attacking Chen Tianlong’s forehead.

Chen Tianlong was greatly shocked; how could this person know him so well, even knowing how to counter his moves?

Exactly!

Although the Soul-Stealing Three Needles are invincible, they have a drawback: causing damage only within the range after being thrown. Simply put, if someone can get within the range the moment Chen Tianlong acts, including Chen Tianlong’s area, they surely won’t be harmed.

Just like Chen Tianlong cannot hurt himself.

Chen Tianlong hurriedly used Ghost Shadow Flash to dodge the attack, and upon standing firm, he was stunned at who was before him.

"Principal, why are you here?"

Staring at the Third Elder, Chen Tianlong felt bewildered, wondering how Situ Feng got involved in this matter too.

"Third Elder, don’t waste words with him. Ming Dao was killed by him; we must eliminate him, or we can’t account to the Black Alliance."

Shangguan Ba shouted.

Situ Feng coldly smiled: "Chen Tianlong, you’ve anticipated far too few things, just like you never expected to die here tonight."

After Situ Feng spoke, giving a signal to the surrounding masters, six people swiftly rushed forward. If there’s no exception, Chen Tianlong truly has nowhere to run.

Facing this situation, the only thing Chen Tianlong could think of was escape.

But how to escape? That posed a challenge; six Celestial Dao experts of five-star strength or higher, a net-like attack, impossible to dodge.

"Wait, why should I dodge?" Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered something, his Twelve Leg Kicks’ Overlord Body.

Undoubtedly, Chen Tianlong quickly activated the Overlord Body. Although it’s only five seconds, it’s already sufficient. As Heavenly Tyrant activates, Chen Tianlong pushed out the fifth move of his Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist toward the crowd. Despite this move not being very lethal to these high-powered individuals, it remained a big move.

Boom!

Chen Tianlong and the others flew backward, and with the support of Heavenly Tyrant, Chen Tianlong suffered only minor damage, just ordinary injuries.

Yet, the others, highly alert, were evidently not struck, merely countering and rebounding instead.

Seizing this opportunity, Chen Tianlong quickly stood up, slipped out of the compound in a flash. His Speed Essence isn’t just for show; if nothing else, escaping and dodging is quite formidable.

"Chase him down! We mustn’t let him escape. Activate the checkpoint down the mountain!" With an order given, everyone promptly chased after him.

Chen Tianlong ran fast with the Flying Shoes, but obstacles lay ahead, with hundreds waiting at the mountain’s waist. He couldn’t simply charge down.

"Ah~ah~"

Suddenly, a piercing cry rang from the sky; Chen Tianlong joyfully called out, "Xiaogu, here!"

"Gululu~"

Xiaogu clearly detected Chen Tianlong’s location, rapidly descending. In less than ten seconds, Xiaogu landed right before Chen Tianlong. Wasting no time, Chen Tianlong sprinted over, jumping onto the mighty eagle.

"Xiaogu, let’s go!" Chen Tianlong shouted.

Gululu!

The mighty eagle received the command, swiftly taking off, flying into the pitch-dark sky, while the crowd below scrambled and shouted. Yet, the man and the eagle had vanished into the vast night.

"Damn it, he got away. This is troublesome now." Situ Feng regretted it appearing recklessly, thinking Chen Tianlong was certainly going to die tonight.

Clearly, returning to the school was not an option. The focus now was finding a way to eliminate Chen Tianlong.
