Upon hearing Elder Liang Feng's words, the disciples immediately grasped his intention. They could sense the powerful energy radiating from Li Chen, which signaled a battle beyond their capabilities.
Without hesitation, they began to retreat, leaving only the twelve Heavenly Elders behind. The elders huddled together, their eyes riveted on the transformation unfolding within Li Chen.
One of the elders, unable to contain his curiosity, turned to Elder Liang Feng and asked, "Elder, do you believe that Li Chen has grown significantly stronger since our last encounter?"
Elder Liang Feng simply shrugged, responding, "His death energy has certainly intensified, and from the aura he's emitting, it's clear that his strength has indeed risen yet again." He added a moment later, "But it's not to a degree that we cannot manage."
