As the two men made their moves, the other disciples from Misty Immortal Palace instantly swarmed forward, surrounding the Ning family members.
Besides these three Divine Realm masters, there were also over a dozen disciples at the Mingxin realm and more than ten at the Dongxuan realm.
Although the newcomers were not overwhelmingly strong, they were more than enough for the current Ning family.
After all, the Ning family had been defeated back then. At most, two elders had survived. As for the younger generation, achieving the Mingxin realm in these years was already considered monstrous talent.
However, from the looks of it now, besides Ning Yu, the only other Divine Realm master present was Lin Xiao.
The rest were insignificant.
Ning Xuesheng, without a word, led his people to meet the enemy.
Not a single member of the Ning family retreated.
Ye Chen also went to help.
As for Lin Xiao, he was being held back by the two Divine Realm masters.
"Youngster of the Lin family, I'll give you a word of advice. There's an unwritten rule in this world," said the one called Lu Qingfeng, looking at Lin Xiao. "After reaching the Divine Realm, one is not allowed to attack those below the Divine Realm."
"Not allowed to attack those below the Divine Realm?"
Lin Xiao was momentarily stunned, and then he suddenly understood why Qi Tian had always treated him and Ye Chen with communication rather than any forceful means.
There was such a rule?
"What rule is this?"
As Lin Xiao spoke, he kept an eye on the situation over there. After all, the Misty Immortal Palace had many people. Even though Ye Chen was battle-hardened and had improved considerably during his recent trials with the puppets, he was now at the half-step Divine Realm. He was practically fighting five against one, finding himself in a tough battle.
"This rule is a rule of the Heavenly Dao."
Lu Qingfeng said this, and Lai Wuwei, standing beside him, couldn't help but make a move.
"Senior Brother, let me lend you a hand!"
Ning Yu and Fang Qing were locked in a near-even battle. Fang Qing was showing slight signs of being at a disadvantage, but the difference was negligible. Lai Wuwei, clearly impatient, could no longer sit still.
"So… my opponent is you." Lin Xiao's spirits also lifted. His spiritual energy began to circulate. Facing such a seasoned expert, he naturally couldn't afford to be careless.
Lu Qingfeng glanced at him and gave a soft snort. "You are a descendant of that Lin boy and carry the legacy of our Misty Immortal Palace. Seeing your extraordinary talent and that you are also loyal and righteous, I, as an elder, do not wish to fight you. However, if you are ungrateful, I don't mind making you taste some hardship."
Lin Xiao was simply too young.
And he was a descendant of that senior brother Lin.
He did not want to fight him.
He had not forgotten how astonishingly talented that senior brother Lin was back then.
In the past, he had followed Senior Brother Lin, constantly learning and seeking advice.
Who would have thought that his descendant would also be so exceptionally gifted?
This Lin family bloodline was truly monstrous!
In fact, over the years, everyone had suspected that the senior brother Lin back then had not died.
Perhaps he had long since broken through to that realm they envied and was now preparing for the final ascension.
Even Palace Master Chen, when occasionally mentioning that person, had a look of apprehension on his face.
One must know that Palace Master Chen back then was one of the Palace Master's direct disciples.
It was just that that time, all three Palace Masters had died in battle, and among the direct disciples, only the youngest, Princess Chen, had survived.
