Although it was only rank four Martial King, it depended on who possessed such cultivation. If Chu Feng were a rank four Martial King, his fighting strength would absolutely be much more terrifying than the former Lady Piaomiao, a rank six Martial King. In addition to the power of the Demon Sealing Sword, Jiang Qisha might not even be able to defeat Chu Feng if he wielded the power of the Demon Sealing Sword.

Every single thing was done for Chu Feng. The outcome of this depended solely on him.

If Chu Feng succeeded, then they could remove a great enemy and take back everything. If Chu Feng failed, then the entire Crippling Night Demon Sect who participated in this would die along with him.

As Lady Piaomiao said before: this was a gamble. A "make or break" gamble, one where failure was not an option.

"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Chu Feng, this'll depend on you alone." Lady Piaomiao spread open her palm, and gave Chu Feng the Pearl of Immortal Inheritance which contained her cultivation attainments over several hundred years.

"Senior, don't worry. Although I do not dare to guarantee this will succeed, I will do everything within my abilities," Chu Feng swore after receiving the Pearl of Immortal Inheritance.

Chu Feng and the others directly departed afterwards. As for Lady Piaomiao, she remained here.

She stood atop a peak, and watched the four people who disappeared instantly in the horizon. Her expression started changing when she couldn't see them anymore. Its initial calmness existed no longer. Replacing it were endless worry and uneasiness.

No one was certain of this battle's outcome. No one knew who would live and who would die. However, she knew if Taikou and Qiushui Fuyan were to die, she would not live on.

It was dead silent on their journey...

After they all reached the Eastern Sea Region, they went their own ways.

Chu Feng and Qiu Canfeng hurried to the Depraved Ravine. Everything went according to their expectations, but when they arrived, they couldn't help being shocked.

They discovered with astonishment that the Spirit Formation which sealed the Depraved Ravine had been deactivated. Outside the Depraved Ravine was a large number of people. There were at least several millions, perhaps near ten million.

Moreover, there was some similarity between them-they wore the same clothing. They also had outstanding cultivation; these were the members of the Crippling Night Demon Sect. They had gathered together.

Although this was not the formation back at the Crippling Night Demon Sect's peak era-it was even less than half of back then-after being interspersed about the Eastern Sea Region for so many years, it was really not easy to have gathered so many members.

"It seems that the news of the invaded Misty Peak has been known. Those three old things are impatient now. That's probably why they showed up at the same time and summoned all of them."

Qiu Canfeng faintly smiled. With his and Chu Feng's hearing strength, there was no need to ask anyone as they eavesdropped a few things from the ocean of people underneath.

The news had been spread: the Immortal Execution Archipelago allying with the Three Great Monstrous Clans and seizing the Misty Peak, and the unknown conditions of Lady Piaomiao, Qiushui Fuyan, Chu Feng, and the others.

The Crippling Night Demon Sect, as the Immortal Execution Archipelago's archenemy, were aware of this peril.

The reason so many members appeared in the Depraved Ravine was due to the summon from You Mingdeng, Xue Xiyue, and Fu Liansheng.

As for the goal of summoning the Crippling Night Demon Sect's army, it was to choose a new sect head!

MGA: Chapter 939 – Perfect Royal Armament

You Mingdeng, Xue Xiyue, and Fu Liansheng knew the present situation was not assuring.

They, as the Three Protectors, knew very well if they kept the Crippling Night Demon Sect split up, only one result awaited them-eradication.

If they remained ununited, judging by the Immortal Execution Archipelago's nature, they wouldn't accept Crippling Night Demon Sect's surrender. They would only annihilate them.

Therefore, they had to quickly reorganize the Crippling Night Demon Sect and gather the members scattered across the Eastern Sea Region. No matter if they were to live or die, or battle or escape, they were going to do it together.

However, the exact reason why the Crippling Night Demon Sect had split into pieces was because they were akin to a group of dragons that lacked a leader. Even amongst the Three Protectors, none of them were willing to obey each other. It wasn't that easy to choose a sect head.

In reality, there were many people who didn't know how they prepared to come to a conclusion, but Chu Feng and Qiu Canfeng did. This was a chance provided to them.

"Master, it seems that we can use their own plan against them," Chu Feng said smilingly.

"Mm. Disguise yourself. Let's take a look at this, though there's no need to rashly do anything. Let me see what these three old things are planning." Qiu Canfeng nodded his head as he smiled as well.

Just like that, Chu Feng and Qiu Canfeng, the pair of master and disciple, snuck into the vast ocean of people after transforming into ordinary people. They avoided showing themselves.

They headed directly into the Depraved Ravine's underground palace. They knew the selection of sect head was going to be carried out in the palace that held the Demon Sealing Sword.

On their way, the two of them discovered that the underground palace had been refurbished. Although it hadn't become all that exquisite, it was quite a bit wider, even several times wider than before. This was most definitely to accommodate for the larger number of people.

One could tell the Three Protectors had spent quite some work and time for today.

But in spite of their efforts, it was still very crowded. There were already a million people squished within the underground palace. By some rough estimations, they found out there was truly quite a few members gathered here today. In addition to those above ground, there were already over ten million people present.

This was evidence of the loyalty the members held towards the Crippling Night Demon Sect.

Their sect had split up, and they scattered throughout the world, lacking any superiors to rely on. However, when the sect's order was sent, they still hurried over. Risking their lives, disregarding sufferings, and preparing to do all they could for the sect.

Finally, Chu Feng and Qiu Canfeng arrived within the Demon Sealing Sword's palace. It was reconstructed to become even bigger-right now, there were several hundred thousands of people within the palace. Its vastness could thus be imagined.

However, only those who held some position within the sect could enter that palace. There were even guards at the entrance to check identities. Ordinary members were not allowed entry.

Though it might seem unreasonable on the surface, it was understandable after some thought. This was, after all, the place a sect head was to be chosen. It wouldn't matter how big this palace became, since there was always a limit. It could not accommodate all the members of the Crippling Night Demon Sect.

With this checkpoint, it secluded many of those who wished to personally witness the progress of the sect head selection. But that proved no difficult for Chu Feng and Qiu Canfeng as with a bit of trickery, they snuck in.

"Chu Feng, go ahead. I can just wait here," Qiu Canfeng said via mental messaging.

"Mm." Chu Feng knew Qiu Canfeng didn't want to reveal himself yet. So, he alone forced himself into the center of the palace from the very outskirts of the crowd.

The palace was quite enormous, but it was already crammed with people. As such, when a young man like Chu Feng squeezed himself forth so shamelessly as he pushed others aside, that invoked quite a few people's displeasure. There were many curses and grudgeful words thrown about as Chu Feng advanced.

But as if he heard nothing, he continued these blatant actions.

Finally, he arrived at the forefront of the observers after passing through the crowd. At that moment, several familiar people also appeared within his line of sight.

Xuan Xiaochao, You Tonghan, and Fu Fengming were all there. They were conversing in secret, and chatting quite merrily. But, one could still tell there seemed to be something that pressured them heavily.

Other than the three of them, there were many others who he knew of: the Ten Gold-cloak Brothers, Water King, Fire King, Earth King... In reality, all five Elemental Kings were present.

Of the five Elemental Kings, the strongest one was the Gold King-he was a rank three Martial King.

Of course, the ones with the greatest statuses, who possessed the commanding power to call so many members here, were of course the Three Protectors.

You Mingdeng-Chu Feng had seen him before. He naturally recognized this old bastard who held animosity towards him.

He was sitting on a chair made out of Spirit Formations. He appeared to be quite at ease, and by his side were two other people sitting as well.

One was a woman who had a bewitching figure and heavy makeup, while her body exuded an odd fragrance. She looked middle-aged, but everyone knew she was an old granny who'd lived for nearly two hundred years.

The other one was a white-haired old man who wore simple but fitting cloth clothing. He appeared quite ordinary, but within his gentle eyes was an indescribable fierceness. It let people know he was no kind pushover.

Needless to say, those two were the two other Protectors of the Crippling Night Demon Sect-respectively Xuan Xiaochao's master, Xue Xiyue, and Fu Fengming's master, Fu Liansheng.

Both of their cultivation was really high-they were the same as You Mingdeng, rank four Martial Kings. Their lips were moving slightly at that moment, but they let out no sound. They were clearly using mental messages for some sort of discussion.

However, rather than concentrating on these famous people, Chu Feng's gaze was focused more on the center of the palace, because there was one thing that lay there: a large black sword with an overbearing aura-it was the Royal Armament, the Demon Sealing Sword.

Chu Feng was now a person who possessed a Royal Armament. So, when he had a second glance at this Demon Sealing Sword, he could feel its power. This Royal Armament indeed deserved to be called the King of Royal Armaments. An ordinary one was truly no match for the power this sword contained.

"The quality of this Royal Armament is definitely the highest possible. If I'm not mistaken, the person who made it is unlikely a Martial King, but a Martial Emperor. Only a Royal Armament made by a Martial Emperor can hold such quality," Eggy said.

"A Royal Armament forged by a Martial Emperor, huh? That does make sense. The difference in strength between a Martial King and Martial Emperor is like the heaven and earth. Their comprehension in cultivation is on a completely different level.

"Although they are both creating Royal Armaments, there's an enormous disparity in quality. If a Martial King's Royal Armament more or less has imperfections, then a Martial Emperor's Royal Armament will be absolutely perfect." Chu Feng nodded, agreeing with Eggy.

MGA: Chapter 940 – Shameless You Mingdeng

Royal Armaments weren't objects ordinary Martial Kings could create. They demanded not only cultivation of a Martial King, but also the realm of a Royal-cloak World Spiritist.

This was why there was a limited number of Royal Armaments despite there being quite a few Martial Kings-there was not a single Royal-cloak World Spiritist in the Eastern Sea Region.

Imperial Armaments were the same. Not just any Martial Emperor could create Imperial Armaments, because there was still the second requirement: being an Immortal-cloak World Spiritist.

It was a fairly normal occurrence for a Martial Emperor to forge a Royal Armament; however, undoubtedly, a Royal Armament that came from a Royal-cloak Martial Emperor would have superior quality to one that came from a Royal-cloak Martial King. As for this Demon Sealing Sword, it likely came from a Martial Emperor.

"Chu Feng, the formation that surrounds the Demon Sealing Sword seems to be changed," Eggy said.

Upon a careful inspection, Chu Feng found that the formation surrounding the Demon Sealing Sword had indeed changed. There were layers of closely connected circles, and there were ten layers in total. The pressure within every layer was different.

"They didn't switch the formation; they just changed something from the original one. It must be the work of those Protectors, but I have no clue what they're preparing to do," Chu Feng said.

"Heh, these foolish clowns still dare to select a sect head! Don't they know the person who's fulfilled all requirements is here already?" Eggy said as she giggled. The person she spoke of was naturally Chu Feng.

"No matter. We still have time anyway, so we can watch the show they put up." Chu Feng lightly smiled, and prepared himself for a good spectacle.

Back then, the reason You Mingdeng treated him so poorly was solely because he feared Chu Feng's potential. He, You Mingdeng, feared his position would be affected if Chu Feng continued staying in the Crippling Night Demon Sect. He was afraid of Chu Feng's ever increasing fame, which would push him to become the sect head eventually.

But today, when You Mingdeng plotted to rise to the role of sect head, Chu Feng was already all prepared. No matter what You Mingdeng did, Chu Feng would make all his plans fall flat, because this position was Chu Feng's.

"Everyone, I'm extremely grateful to all of you for returning to the Crippling Night Demon Sect from faraway places and peaceful established lives.

"I had thought, with us three old bones' rallying power, there'd definitely be quite a few brothers who would be willing to rejoin the Crippling Night Demon Sect and recreate our dominion.

"I had never, however, expected it to be this powerful. After being separated for so many years, just some words from us recalled millions of brothers. This has truly exceeded my imaginations.

"As I feel joy, I must say that I also feel grateful. I thank you all-I thank you, my brothers. If Sect Head is up in heaven, he must also feel very relieved."

You Mingdeng stood up, and spoke with a solemn and appreciative tone. He even deeply bowed to the Crippling Night Demon Sect's members in an expression of his gratitude.

"Brothers! Do you remember our Crippling Night Demon Sect's mantra? Do you remember the declarations when we joined the Crippling Night Demon Sect?" shouted someone amongst the crowd.

"I share my lives with the Crippling Night Demon Sect! I share my dignity with the Crippling Night Demon Sect! When the sect is honoured, I am honoured! When the sect is shamed, I am shamed! When the sect lives, I live! When the sect dies, I die!"

The first shout was the catalyst for the response of the entire crowd. The ones within the palace were the first to shout, then the ones within the tunnel, then, in the end, everyone-over ten million members-who gathered in the Depraved Ravine shouted in unison.

"WHEN THE SECT LIVES, I LIVE. WHEN THE SECT DIES, I DIE!"

The Crippling Night Demon Sect's declaration was even more deafening than thunder. It not only shook the lands, it shook everyone's heart.

"Good! My brothers are indeed all courageous men! You are indeed dragons amongst men!

"However, a crowd of dragons cannot lack a leader-the Crippling Night Demon Sect is the same.

"If it weren't for a lack of leadership in so many years, we wouldn't have allowed that Immortal Execution Archipelago to rise in power, nor would we have allowed them to disgrace us like this.

"Right now, we are facing a crisis. We cannot sit and await death. We must engage in a counterattack, but before doing so we must find a suitable leader.

"Today, we have asked all of you to assemble here just for this. I'm sure there's a fitting leader in everyone's hearts right now.

"And if I'm not mistaken, many of you wish for the leader to arise from us Four Protector, and of those people, half of them certainly hope that Qiu Canfeng enters that role.

"That's right. At this moment, the person most qualified to become sect head is undoubtedly Big Brother Qiu Canfeng. He is the leader of the Four Protectors, but sadly, Big Brother Qiu Canfeng has disappeared for nearly two years. I haven't even heard anything from him as of yet.

"Even though the Crippling Night Demon Sect is about to begin fighting the Immortal Execution Archipelago, he hasn't appeared yet. However, from what I know of him, he is absolutely not a person who ignores such matters. If he knows we will soon battle, he would definitely stand out for us, and even be the first to do so.

"But now, he hasn't. This doesn't make sense. I have even searched through his residence but I saw no sign of him. No one knows where he's gone.

"There is no reason for Big Brother Qiu Canfeng to disappear. So, there is only one explanation-he has been met with misfortune, and has been struck by the Immortal Execution Archipelago's venomous hands," You Mingdeng said quite sorrowfully.

"What? Great Protector Qiu Canfeng..." Everyone was astonished. They found great difficulty in accepting this as an indescribable sadness and shock spread throughout the crowd.

"He is truly shameless. For his own benefit, he says my master is dead!" Chu Feng cursed in his heart. He, at last, had seen signs of You Mingdeng's shamelessness.

"Although it is only a guess, it is likely true. Although Big Brother Qiu Canfeng is powerful, I'm sure you all know that the Immortal Execution Archipelago has an old monster-Murong Mingtian.

"Murong Mingtian is able to even defeat Lady Piaomiao, and I'm afraid only the sect head, if he were alive, could stand a chance against him. Even if Big Brother Qiu Canfeng were to fight him, he would likely be defeated."

Just at that moment, Xue Xiyue also spoke. Even her eyes were a bit red-she had a face of fake sadness.

"Avenge Great Protector, avenge Great Protector!

"A debt of blood must be paid in blood! A debt of blood must be paid in blood!" shouted someone loudly. Quickly following that were others who also raised their fists and yelled. Their voices were like thunder, every single word loud and clear. One could thus see that Qiu Canfeng held a very high position in all of their hearts, his position even surpassing the other three Protectors combined.

MGA: Chapter 941 – Choosing the Sect Head

"Everyone, be calm! Revenge must be exacted, but before that, we must still decide on a sect head.

"I'm sure everyone must feel that I, Xue Xiyue, and Fu Liansheng are the most fitting to lead the Crippling Night Demon Sect. Actually, from the start, our thoughts were the same.

"However, we're old. Even if one of us does become sect head, how many years could we last for?

"So, after careful discussion, we decided to abandon this position and instead choose to develop a substitute sect head from an entirely new generation," You Mingdeng said.

"What? Choose a substitute sect head?"

"But other than the Three Protectors, who else is qualified to hold this position?

"The Five Elemental Kings? No, that's not right. They too are not young, so if the Three Protectors aren't going to strive for that position, then they wouldn't either!"

You Mingdeng's words made the crowd very shocked. They started discussing amongst themselves, and some people even started panicking. They felt the Three Protectors were the most suitable, but if they refused this position, then there would be no one else who would be suitable.

"Hoh. Let me see what sort of tricks you are playing."

Chu Feng on the other hand was very calm. He had already understood You Mingdeng's nature. He was not a person who'd give up power so easily. If Chu Feng was not mistaken, You Mingdeng would think of a way to seize the authority of sect head into his hands. His words regarding a substitute sect head had already stated his intentions as clear as day.

"The substitute sect head must be a young person, one that has both ability and potential.

"Of all the people in the Crippling Night Demon Sect's younger generation, Xuan Xiaochao, You Tonghan, and Fu Fengming are the most suitable nominees. So, I first suggest them three.

"Of course, regarding this decision, we must make it absolutely fair: as long as it is a member of the Crippling Night Demon Sect's younger generation, anyone can participate in this.

"As for the method of selection, it's very simple. The Demon Sealing Sword is the Crippling Night Demon Sect's most valuable treasure. When Sect Head was alive, he had left a few words behind: no matter who it is, as long as they are able to pull out the Demon Sealing Sword, they could inherit his position and become the head of the Crippling Night Demon Sect. The members must all listen to that person's orders as well.

"However, the Demon Sealing Sword is too powerful. Other than Lord Sect head, there is simply no one who is qualified to grasp it. Even us three, and Big Brother Qiu Canfeng as well, were unable to pull it out.

"Right now, the Crippling Night Demon Sect is facing an unprecedented danger. We must quickly select a sect head, so we have no choice but to alter Lord Sect Head's wishes.

"We will borrow the power of the Demon Bestowal Slaughtering Formation and lay a new formation. There are ten layers in total, and the closer one approaches the Demon Sealing Sword, the greater the pressure.

"Within the formation, whoever advances the most will become the substitute sect head of the Crippling Night Demon Sect. That person will be developed by me, Xue Xiyue, and Fu Liansheng until he becomes a true sect head.

"Right now, the sect head selection will officially begin. Any person in the younger generation can attempt this formation." You Mingdeng shouted.

A bit of ruckus arose immediately after he spoke. Xuan Xiaochao and the others were the publicly acclaimed geniuses of the Crippling Night Demon Sect. If a substitute sect head were to be chosen from the younger generation, then only the three of them were the most qualified.

Besides, putting aside personal strength, they even had the backup of the Three Protectors. There was truly no one who was worthy to contest against them.

As a result, those who knew their limits didn't stand out to challenge the position. However, there were always exceptions. Though most people were logical, there would always exist some fearless people, or perhaps some strong people. People like them were always brimming with confidence, and they would never submit to others.

In fact, after a few brief moments of dead silence, there were a few young people who came out.

They were all Martial Lords, and their cultivations were not weak either: the lowest was a rank three Martial Lord. Including You Tonghan and the others, there was a total of eighteen people who prepared to run for sect head.

"Not bad. Applaudable courage. Our Crippling Night Demon Sect needs exactly brave youths as yourselves."

On the surface, You Mingdeng appeared very happy towards the young people who were with his own disciple, but from his smile and squinting eyes, Chu Feng saw one word: overestimation. From the bottom of his heart, You Mingdeng looked down on those people who came forth.

"Lord Protectors, Seniors, this untalented Zhao Hu will go first." A brawny young man clasped his fists at the Three Protectors and their disciples. Then, he went straight for the formation.

*hmm* His steps were stable, and he was quite robust. However, in the instant he stepped into the tenth layer, his expression changed greatly as an enormous pressure fell upon him.

But he did not give up just like that. Gritting his teeth with widened eyes, he advanced forward one step at a time.

*boom*

"Ahh!"

Suddenly, he slipped and let out a cry. Blood sprayed straight out of his mouth, and simultaneously he lost control of his body. He shot out from the formation and flew out.

He was whizzing through the air so fast if he were to collide into something, he would receive a heavy injury.

*whoosh*

You Mingdeng seemed to have expected that. He waved his big sleeve, and a gentle breeze flew over, slowing the male and landing him down safely, thus avoiding any serious injuries.

"Thank you, Lord Protector, for saving me. This untalented Zhao Hu is unable to pass even one layer," he shamefully said as he wiped the traces of blood on the corner of his mouth.

"No matter. This formation is very powerful. Being able to successfully enter already means you have great aptitude. Work hard and you will have extraordinary results," You Mingdeng consoled with a smile. He spread open his palm, and a healing pellet flew into Zhao Hu's hand.

"Thank you, Lord Protector."

Zhao Hu received the pellet and thanked with a bow and a clasp of his hands. Before the gazes of the crowd, he returned.

After Zhao Hu, others continuously stepped into the formation. However, most of them were like Zhao Hu. They could not even safely pass through the tenth layer, and the one with the best result could only reach the eighth layer but was still unable to enter the seventh.

One after the other, outstanding youths were shot out by the power of the formation. When the observing crowd saw that, they finally knew of the formation's strength, and also of the Demon Sealing Sword's power.

Finally, everyone left with failures, leaving behind only Xuan Xiaochao, You Tonghan, and Fu Fengming.

However, they were looking at each other as they wore complicated emotions on their faces. It seemed as if they didn't want to take even a single step. They didn't want to fight over this position of sect head.

MGA: Chapter 942 – Outcome Has Been Decided

"Coughcough." You Mingdeng deeply coughed, then said in a mental message, "What are you three hesitating for? Don't you know there are so many people waiting?"

"This..." Xuan Xiaochao and You Tonghan were speechless. They knew You Mingdeng was forcing them in.

"Let's not make it so distant between ourselves. If we're going, let's go in together," Fu Fengming said with a faint smile.

"That's not a bad idea. Then, let us brothers enter together." Xuan Xiaochao and You Tonghan nodded their heads in agreement.

Afterwards, they walked together, shoulder-to-shoulder, towards the formation.

Everyone fixed their gaze on them. There were even many heartbeats that quickened.

They knew very well that the future sect head of the Crippling Night Demon Sect would be born from one of these three.

*whoosh* Xuan Xiaochao and the others advanced with large strides, and easily entered the tenth layer. That shocked everyone, because that proved how powerful their aptitudes were.

Their speed decreased slightly upon entering the ninth layer, but their expressions remained unchanging. They still, with relative ease, passed through the ninth layer and entered the eighth layer.

However, upon entering the eighth layer, not only did their speed drop, even their complexions changed. Two words could briefly represent their condition: great exertion.

In spite of that though, the three of them still successfully passed through the eighth layer, and arrived at the seventh. However, every step became difficult when they reached that layer. When they drew farther inward, perspiration drenched their foreheads.

Their breathing started turning erratic. Their complexions turned pale. They walked with so much difficulty it was as if there were several mountain peaks tied with their legs.

One step. Two steps. Ten steps. Twenty steps. They had then, finally, arrived at the border of the fifth layer.

However, all three of them stopped moving. Not a single one of them stepped forth. Instead, they looked at each other as a hint of a smile surfaced onto their faces.

As for the observer, they couldn't help but hold in their breaths. The lumps in their throats felt as large as their hearts. With such a scene occurring before their eyes, they could see that Xuan Xiaochao and the others were indeed dragons amongst men. Every single one of them had the potential to succeed the position of sect head.

However, there could only be one sect head. Since the sixth layer was already so difficult, the fifth layer was definitely the concluding layer.

"Come! Let us go together. No matter who becomes sect head, we will remain good brothers!" Fu Fengming said.

Xuan Xiaochao and You Tonghan nodded their heads. Then, a tinge of resolution flashed into their eyes. They took a large step, and entered the fifth layer simultaneously.

"Ahh!" However, just as he entered the fifth layer, Xuan Xiaochao let out a painful cry and he flew out.

*whoosh* Xue Xiyue frowned. She then flew up and took Xuan Xiaochao into her embrace, then landed back at her previous position.

"Ahh, you brat, why didn't you try your best?" Xue Xiyue scolded disappointedly after inspecting Xuan Xiaochao.

"I'm sorry, Master, I've embarrassed you," Xuan Xiaochao admitted his wrongs with an apologetic face.

"Ahh, whatever. You put too much emphasis on camaraderie. In the future, even if you become sect head, you won't be decisive. Rather than letting you, it'd be better to let one of those two to become sect head so the Crippling Night Demon Sect wouldn't fall by your rule." Xue Xiyue waved her hand. Although she had quite unsightly expression, she didn't blame him too much.

Many were confused at that exchange of words, but Chu Feng saw the truth: Xuan Xiaochao had intentionally backed out. If he persevered, he could have continued, but he just didn't want to fight over this position.

Though Xuan Xiaochao had no interest, You Tonghan and Fu Fengming were clearly different. At that moment, they were gnashing their teeth and even their eyes turned blood-red. One could really imagine the immensity of the formation's pressure.
