Dugu Xingyun regretted deeply in his heart, regretting that he hadn't used the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Bell to directly kill Shi Feng on that night to keep him from participating in the battle of geniuses.

If he had directly killed him, he could have pinned a charge of attacking the Clan Leader on him, since at that time, only they two were on the third floor of the Nine Star Pavilion.

Moreover, at that time, everyone who went to the Nine Star Pavilion with him had some dissatisfaction with Shi Feng.

But at this very moment, Dugu Xingyun noticed the shift in the attitudes of those around him.

Just after returning to the territory, when they saw the dark demon thunder, they all showed anger towards Shi Feng, but now the anger had already dissipated from their faces, and no one was mentioning severe punishment for Shi Feng anymore.

Instead, one by one, they felt it was Dugu Longlin's fault!

Sneaking into a forbidden land, stealing the Ancient Evil Demon Nail, this is a great taboo within the clan, even he, Clan Leader Dugu Xingyun, dared not do it.

Then using the Ancient Evil Demon Nail against others!

Also, it was learned from Qin Ning's mouth that Dugu Longlin had stabbed Shi Feng in the heart with the Ancient Evil Demon Nail, and then the heavens brought down tribulation thunder, devouring both Shi Feng and Dugu Longlin.

"All the people in the territory probably think Longlin was the one in the wrong! Longlin, oh Longlin, you made a foolish mistake this time!" At this moment, Dugu Xingyun felt both angry and sad in his heart.

If Shi Feng came out alive from that dark fierce thunder, and if his grandson Dugu Longlin perished under the dark fierce thunder, if he used the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Bell to kill Shi Feng, there would inevitably be people murmuring that he, as the Clan Leader, was unjust.

Difficult to win the hearts of the people!

Moreover, he had already discussed with those around him about inviting Shi Feng to participate in this battle of geniuses.

Shi Feng, having endured the dark tribulation thunder and defeated the Evil Eye Clan's top genius while in the Five-star Demigod Realm, and having obtained the nine-star fortune of the Nine Star Pavilion, his talent and battle power had long been recognized by everyone.

They, who originally held their heads low, had hope for this battle of geniuses because Shi Feng was fighting.

If he used the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Bell to kill Shi Feng, they might not dare to say anything to him on the surface, but secretly...

"No matter!" But closely following, Dugu Xingyun's face showed determination, as if he had made up his mind.

His originally celestial immortal appearance now vanished, a trace of anger quietly emerged, he spoke sternly:

"If Longlin is dead, I don't care how others see me, I must make Shi Feng pay with his life for my grandson! Who dares question me, I shall suppress them!"

…

Time passed long, one by one within the Human Clan Territory, their eyes still tightly fixed on the dark fierce thunder that filled their hearts with indescribable dread.

Facing such fierce thunder, some secretly speculated, estimating that those two devoured by the dark fierce thunder beneath it had already turned to ash and perished into nothing!

With two more hours of time passing, then people noticed the dark fierce thunder connecting heaven and earth seemed to have a tendency to dissipate.

At this moment, Clan Leader Dugu Xingyun was the most nervous, fists clenched tightly, his ten fingernails dug deeply into his palms, yet he seemed unaware.

"Scatter!" And just then, everyone in the Human Clan Territory heard an angry howl resounding, echoing between heaven and earth.

Following closely, the originally silent crowd erupted with a series of exclamations: "Shi Feng! It's Shi Feng's voice!"

"Not dead! Shi Feng is truly not dead!"

"Never thought that Shi Feng could survive under such fierce thunder for so long! It's truly a miracle! Truly amazing!"

"Ha! What does this amount of fierce thunder power count for!" Someone snorted coldly, spoke with arrogance:

"You weren't at the Blood Devouring Race Territory that night, the dark tribulation thunder that night was the real terror, tonight's tribulation thunder in our territory can't compare at all."

As he spoke these words, arms crossed, a sneer hung at the corner of his mouth, his expression made it seem like he himself had experienced the terrifying dark fierce thunder in the Blood Devouring Race Territory that night.

"Shi Feng survived, then… then… the Young Master Dugu?"

"Young Master Dugu!"

"Young Master Dugu!"

"Young Master Dugu he… probably… oh!" Someone said these words while secretly gazing at Clan Leader Dugu Xingyun, not continuing further.

However, his words, his tone, already made everything clear.

At this moment, virtually no one believed that Dugu Longlin could still survive under that raging black thunder, despite clutching the legendary Evil Demon Weapon, the Ancient Evil Demon Nail.

Leaving aside others, even Clan Leader Dugu Xingyun, believed his precious grandson was unlikely to survive.

Although Dugu Xingyun has the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Bell in hand, he doesn't dare to directly confront the dark fierce thunder, what good can the Ancient Evil Demon Nail do!

"Boom!" And at this very moment, people suddenly saw that the dark thunder pillar connecting the heavens suddenly splintered open.

With the dark fierce thunder dissipating, immediately afterwards, a bloodied and mutilated body appeared before everyone's eyes.

"One person! Only Shi Feng is left!"

"As expected! Young Master Dugu, he has already turned to ash beneath that dark fierce thunder!"

Earlier they heard Shi Feng's roaring voice, now with the fierce thunder gone, leaving only a bloodied and mutilated body, who else could this be but Shi Feng!

"Shi Feng! Shi Feng! Shi Feng!" Seeing the ruined body, Clan Leader Dugu Xingyun trembled continuously, gritting his teeth, and spat Shi Feng's name bitterly.

"Ah!" At this moment, Dugu Xingyun could no longer contain the grief and anger in his heart, a roar like that of an enraged lion erupted from his mouth.

"Dong!" A bell toll echoed through the heavens, and the Human Clan Territory was instantly shrouded in golden light.

People soon saw a huge golden bell appear above that bloody mutilated body, this bell was precisely the True God Battle Artifact of the Human Clan, the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Bell!

Then everyone saw a figure standing proudly above the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Bell appear, in the glow of golden light, like a golden war god descending.

This figure, naturally, was their Clan Leader Dugu Xingyun.

Dugu Xingyun had just been roaring with anger, like a lion, among the crowd, not expecting him to appear above the ruined body in an instant.

Following closely, people heard Clan Leader Dugu Xingyun's majestic voice resounding between heaven and earth, akin to the voice of heaven, as if heaven were angry:

"Little bastard, that night at the Blood Devouring Race Territory, I saved your miserable life! And you repay me like this?

I care not about your talent! I care not about what a genius you are, killing demands atonement, killing my grandson Dugu Longlin, you must die!"

The voice contained unparalleled resolve, unmatched dominance.

Closely following, under the gazes of all, people saw Dugu Xingyun's Heavenly Emperor's Divine Bell crash forcefully toward the mutilated body below!

The power of the Heavenly Emperor, invincible beneath the heavens!
