While the three top sects were attacking the Xuan Shen Sect, Ling Feng had already led his group to the Treasure Pavilion, seizing the opportunity amidst the chaos.
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, there were only a few disciples guarding it. Most of the sect members with any combat capability had already gone to the front lines to defend.
"Haha, is this the Xuan Shen Sect's Treasure Pavilion? So many treasures!"
"The foundation of a top-tier sect is truly extraordinary."
As the doors of the Treasure Pavilion were pushed open, a dozen martial artists rushed inside.
However, they weren't Ling Feng's group, but disciples from one of the top sects. Like Ling Feng, they had come to fish in troubled waters, taking advantage of the battle outside.
Seeing the dazzling array of treasures inside the pavilion, the eyes of the leading young man lit up, and the rest of the group were like lecherous men seeing a beautiful woman undressed, unable to stop themselves from salivating.
The young man in the lead glanced at his companions and sneered, "Look at you all, wipe that drool off your faces."
"Senior Brother Huang is the top disciple of Dielong Hall and ranked third on the Rising Dragon List. Even when faced with so many treasures, he remains calm. Truly admirable."
One of the disciples flattered him.
"Enough with the flattery. Start gathering the treasures," Senior Brother Huang said with a smile, though the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward. "If we manage to empty the Xuan Shen Sect's Treasure Pavilion before the others, the Hall Master will surely reward us greatly."
"Haha, indeed! This is all thanks to Senior Brother Huang's foresight, leading us here while the others are still fighting."
"Exactly, Dielong Hall will be the biggest winner in this battle!"
The group continued to flatter him as they began looting the treasure vault.
However, just then…
The doors to the treasure vault were violently pushed open.
A figure in white, followed by a dozen others, slowly entered.
Everyone turned to look and was momentarily stunned.
The newcomer wore spotless white robes, with hair like flowing black waterfalls. His eyes sparkled like stars, and his features were strikingly handsome, with a tall, slender frame and an aura of a celestial being.
His entrance instantly drew everyone's attention.
He, too, noticed Senior Brother Huang and his group, and with a playful smile, said, "Looks like someone had the same idea as me."
The newcomer was none other than Ling Feng and his group.
"Who are you?" Senior Brother Huang frowned, a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Behind him, the disciples of Dielong Hall subtly gripped their weapons, ready to strike at any moment. A few of them even began moving closer to Ling Feng.
"Heh, who I am isn't important. What matters is that you put down the treasures you're holding."
Ling Feng smiled.
"There are plenty of treasures here. Do you plan to take them all for yourself? How about we split them evenly?" Senior Brother Huang smiled faintly while discreetly signaling to his group.
The disciples of Dielong Hall immediately moved into action, charging toward Ling Feng with weapons aimed at his vital points.
"Predictable little tricks."
Ling Feng sighed softly, not bothering to move. True energy burst forth from him.
Boom!!!
An overwhelming force erupted. The martial artists attacking Ling Feng were sent flying before they could react, their bones shattering as they died on the spot.
Leng Ningshuang and Gu Linglong, watching this, were not surprised in the slightest.
"Tsk, these guys thought they could ambush Junior Brother? Where did they get such courage?"
"Exactly. Don't they know that even the former number one on the Rising Dragon List tried to ambush him and got cut down?"
The disciples of Baiyun Sect exchanged a few casual remarks.
Senior Brother Huang's eyes widened in shock as he heard this. "You're Ling Feng of Baiyun Sect!!"
"Now that you know, are you going to leave, or leave?"
"Even if you're strong, Ling Feng, there's no way you can handle all these treasures alone."
"You're talking too much."
Ling Feng smirked, taking a step forward and casually launching a palm strike.
A torrent of true energy surged forth, manifesting in the form of ten massive elephant shadows in the air.
The power of ten elephants!
With this force, Senior Brother Huang and his companions had no chance. They were easily blown out of the Treasure Pavilion, some of the weaker ones dying instantly.
Ling Feng paid them no further attention, turning to Gu Linglong and the others. "Start gathering the treasures."
His companions, ecstatic, began filling their storage rings with spiritual stones, weapons, manuals, medicinal herbs, and various rare treasures.
Some of their storage rings filled up so quickly that they could only watch the remaining treasures with frustration.
"I can't fit any more!"
"Junior Brother, what should we do? My storage ring isn't big enough!"
"Let me handle it. Mine is plenty big."
Ling Feng said as he raised his hand, and treasures began disappearing into his storage ring one by one.
Before long, he had emptied most of the treasure vault on his own.
"Hiss! This ring…"
The other disciples were shocked to see the size inside that ring.
After emptying the treasure pavilion, Ling Feng and his companions were about to leave. However, the moment they stepped outside, they were met by a large group of people.
These were none other than the forces from the three top sects. Behind them lay the corpses of nearly all the members of Xuan Shen Sect, who had been completely wiped out.
Ling Feng was momentarily surprised, "So they've been wiped out already? I thought they could hold on a bit longer. It seems these Heavenly Ranked powerhouses really are formidable."
The three Heavenly Ranked powerhouses also noticed Ling Feng and his group emerging from the treasure pavilion, and their faces darkened.
A major reason for their attack on Xuan Shen Sect, aside from destroying it, was to seize the treasures the sect had accumulated over many years. But now, it appeared that someone else had beaten them to it!
This was something they couldn't tolerate.
Especially when the Hall Master of Dielong Hall saw the corpses of Senior Brother Huang and his men on the ground. His face turned livid with rage.
"Scoundrel! You killed my disciples from Dielong Hall and looted the treasure pavilion!"
"You've sealed your fate!!"
The Dielong Hall Master roared in fury as his true energy surged, the immense pressure of a Heavenly Ranked powerhouse crashing down on Ling Feng and his companions like a tidal wave.
Leng Ningshuang and Gu Linglong were forced back several steps by the overwhelming pressure.
However, Ling Feng stood his ground, unmoved. His own true energy burst forth, meeting the pressure head-on.
The two forces collided with a thunderous boom, causing the entire treasure pavilion to tremble.
"Who is this young man? How can he withstand the pressure of a Heavenly Ranked powerhouse?"
"Wait, I know who he is! The only young martial artist capable of standing against a Heavenly Ranked powerhouse is none other than the current top-ranked on the Rising Dragon List—Ling Feng!!"
"What?! I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but his strength really is this terrifying!"
The crowd gasped in disbelief.
Especially the younger martial artists, who looked at Ling Feng with a mix of jealousy, admiration, and resentment.
To be the top of the Rising Dragon List was already an honor countless people dreamed of.
But to also be able to stand against Heavenly Ranked powerhouses? Such a prodigy would be remembered in history!
"Ling Feng… Haha, so you're Ling Feng! I've long wanted to meet you!"
"Don't think that killing Zhang Tianming makes you invincible. Today, I'll show you that there's always someone stronger!!"
