perish together

Li Dehua and his Dragon exchanged glances, neither responding to his words.

It seemed they had already considered him an enemy.

Seeing they were unwilling to respond, Xiao Feng shouted loudly at Zhou Wei: "All Disciples, heed my command! Form the array!"

The people beside Zhou Wei were all Qing Sect Disciples, and they naturally possessed the ability to deploy the Qing Sect's array Formations.

When Zhou Wei heard that Xiao Feng needed their help, the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique erupted from within their bodies, and everyone swiftly moved to their designated positions.

Li Dehua had never seen such an intricate array Formation; there was no angle from which their defense could be breached.

Seeing that Li Dehua couldn't tear through the array, the Dragon unleashed all of his Spirit Energy as a third-stage Cultivator, striking the array Formation fiercely.

Don't underestimate the Qing Sect Disciples, most of whom were only first or second stage in strength; their array Formation, once deployed, could completely intercept a third-stage Cultivator.

In just ten breaths, the Dragon returned to Li Dehua's side, his face etched with solemnity: "It seems not only can you not break through their turtle shell, but neither can I."

He had originally thought that with his strength as a third-stage Cultivator, he could easily break the array, but no one expected the Qing Sect Disciples to show no signs of fatigue.

In Xiao Feng's eyes, if the Dragon's strength could reach the seventh or eighth stage, it might be possible to break their array.

Unfortunately, he lacked such strength and could only be trapped inside obediently, unable to get out.

Xiao Feng walked up to them, a smile playing on his lips: "I will ask you one last time, who is your master?"

Now that they were trapped within the array he had deployed, it meant only he had the ability to release them.

Xiao Feng had initially thought the two of them would reveal some information, but no one expected them to be completely unwilling to disclose anything.

Suddenly, the Dragon's gaze shifted slightly, staring intently at Zhou Wei and the others who were maintaining the array, and the Spirit Energy within his body began to fluctuate violently.

Zhou Wei and Shen Qingchen were relatively close to the Dragon and immediately sensed the abnormality within him, their eyes widening abruptly: "This... this..."

Xiao Feng, noticing the Dragon's abnormality within the array, carefully observed him and was surprised to discover that he intended to self-destruct.

They had just met for the first time; there was no reason for things to escalate to this point.

Xiao Feng was terrified that he would detonate the Spirit Energy within his body, which would undoubtedly result in heavy casualties among the Qing Sect Disciples.

In an instant, he appeared before the two of them: "As long as you surrender, I can guarantee your safety with my life; I will absolutely not kill you."

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's guarantee, Li Dehua subconsciously glanced at the Dragon, as if wanting to see how the Dragon would choose.

The Dragon glanced at Li Dehua, his brow furrowing slightly.

If he hadn't been unable to leave, he would never have considered such a method.

Seeing the look in their eyes, Xiao Feng thought he had convinced them and quickly continued speaking to them: "Trust me."

Hearing Xiao Feng say this, the Dragon took a deep breath and gradually calmed the Spirit Energy within his body.

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the people the Dragon had brought with him walked up to them: "Don't let them go! They are just trying to appease you to make it easier to attack."

The others nodded in agreement: "Right, as soon as we retract our Spirit Energy, they might make a move and won't give us any chance."

Xiao Feng had thought he had calmed them, but he never expected someone in the crowd to come out and cause trouble.

Instantly, the Dragon was swayed by them again, and wisps of Spirit Energy began to emanate from his body.

If his temper became even slightly unstable, the Spirit Energy within his body could explode out of nowhere.

Seeing the Dragon's anxious expression, Xiao Feng quickly said: "Even if you don't think of us, you should think of the people around you."

Currently, Li Dehua was also inside the array.

The Spirit Energy left behind by a self-detonation wouldn't care about their identities; Li Dehua inside could also suffer a fatal blow.

Zhou Wei, hearing Xiao Feng constantly persuading the people inside, couldn't help but say: "Right, we are only surrounding you, not killing you; don't you understand our intentions?"

If they had even the slightest intention to kill, the people inside wouldn't be so comfortable.

After their alternating persuasion, the Dragon once again dispersed his Spirit Energy, saying nothing and looking away.

Just then, the person who had just persuaded the Dragon stepped forward again: "You must not listen to their enticement, otherwise we won't have a chance to fight back!"

Xiao Feng was very angry seeing him constantly opposing him, but he couldn't make any drastic moves.

Otherwise, the Dragon was very likely to act, as he was currently like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

Zhou Wei and Shen Qingchen looked at the Dragon, who was still struggling inside, their faces filled with helplessness.

The two of them couldn't leave here, otherwise the array Formation they had painstakingly deployed would be gone.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Xiao Feng, as if wanting to see if Xiao Feng could persuade the Dragon.

At this moment, Xiao Feng wished he could walk into the array and twist off the Dragon's arm so he wouldn't be able to speak again.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a commotion came from the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

General Xiao's subordinate ran in from the entrance, his face serious as he looked at Xiao Feng: "Young Master, someone is trying to force their way into the City Lord's Mansion."

Their people had already sealed off the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, but no one expected there to be other people outside.

When Xiao Feng learned that someone was planning to break in, he subconsciously looked in Xiao Heng's direction: "How many enemies does our Xiao Family actually have?"

If it weren't for returning this time, he would have always thought that the Xiao Family was a dominant great Family in Evernight City.

No one expected the Xiao Family to be blocked at the main entrance by others, unable to even go out.

Xiao Heng, hearing Xiao Feng question him, looked bewildered: "This... the people at the entrance might be their people; our Xiao Family only has them as enemies."

When Xiao Feng realized that the people at the entrance were also their people, he couldn't help but say to General Xiao: "Quickly call all your people back, otherwise they will suffer heavy casualties."

Since the Dragon and Li Dehua both had Spirit Energy, it was likely that the people at the entrance also possessed their own Spirit Energy.

In contrast, General Xiao's subordinates were just ordinary guards; if they were left to watch at the entrance, they were very likely to die outside.

To avoid unnecessary losses, it was more appropriate to call back all the people at the entrance.

General Xiao, hearing Xiao Feng say this, gritted his teeth: "I will have them come back immediately."
