Feng Wanqing reassured herself that she had already killed the true owner of the Lunar Ghost, Feng Siyue, eliminating all potential problems. No one would discover the truth!
Her eyes sharpened, and she coldly looked at the woman across from her, angrily saying, “If it’s not my companion beast, is it yours? Miss Han Yue, I pitied you for being an orphan and a widow, and I have been tolerant of you. But you keep pushing your luck. Enough is enough! Next, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”
With that, she gave a signal to her companions behind her, and in an instant, everyone took out their weapons.
Feng Wanqing tried to recall the Lunar Ghost into her space to prevent it from embarrassing her further.
However, unlike the usual easy retrieval, this time the Lunar Ghost didn’t move. It lay there, looking at Han Yue, and even tried to grab her hair with its claws.
Feng Wanqing had never seen it make such gentle movements, careful and with a hint of flattery.
The audience below was also stunned. What was happening?
Wasn’t this Feng Wanqing’s companion divine beast? Why was it so affectionate towards Han Yue? The two women were enemies!
Feng Wanqing’s face changed drastically, and she shrieked, “What did you do to my divine beast!”
Feng Siyue looked at her innocently, “Your Lunar Ghost seems to like me and doesn’t want to leave. Could it be that you often mistreat it, so it doesn’t like you?”
“You’re talking nonsense! How could I possibly mistreat my companion beast! You must have done something to it! Tell me, what did you do!” Feng Wanqing raged, her expression even twisted in anger.
People had never seen Feng Wanqing like this before. She was usually elegant and proud, but now she was shouting as if she had been provoked.
Even the Second Prince below slightly frowned.
He had been watching the scene closely. The veiled woman stood lazily in place, not moving a muscle. It was impossible for her to have done anything to the divine beast without him noticing. Even if she had, it wouldn’t have escaped his keen eyes.
Wanqing’s reaction was too intense. However, why would her companion beast be so affectionate towards the veiled woman?
Everyone’s companion beast egg is embedded in their spiritual sea from birth. Generally, as they grow older, the egg hatches, and the companion beast becomes the owner’s best partner, obeying only them for life.
The Second Prince had never seen such a situation with Feng Wanqing’s companion beast. It was very unusual.
Feng Siyue smiled slightly and waved her finger at the Lunar Ghost, “Go back, little one. We’ll meet again.”
It wasn’t the right time to recall the Lunar Ghost. She had heard that a person’s spiritual space could only hold one companion beast. Since she already had the Flame Phoenix, she wasn’t sure if there would be a conflict if she recalled the Lunar Ghost. If that happened, the large beast would follow her everywhere.
So, she decided to improve her spiritual space first. Besides, the Lunar Ghost was notoriously gluttonous, and Feng Wanqing had fattened it up nicely, indicating it had excellent meals. Let it enjoy Feng Wanqing’s hospitality for a while longer.
The main reason, however, was that her master had once told her that the stronger the stolen companion beast, the greater the backlash when the relationship was forcibly severed.
She was looking forward to the day Feng Wanqing would suffer the consequences of her actions.
The Lunar Ghost’s eyes showed a humanized reluctance and whimpered a few times before obediently disappearing from the spot and returning to Feng Wanqing’s spiritual sea.
Feng Wanqing’s heart pounded fiercely, and her gaze turned ferocious as she stared at Feng Siyue.
She had to eliminate this woman. The threat she posed was too great. The uncontrollable nature of the Lunar Ghost filled her with a desire to tear the woman in front of her to pieces!
Die!
A look of malice flashed in Feng Wanqing’s eyes as she signaled her teammates.
Boom!
At that moment, eight different attack treasures in the hands of the eight individuals unleashed their maximum power, rapidly attacking Feng Siyue!
These treasures emitted various colored rainbow lights and were all fifth or sixth-grade treasures, with astonishing attack power. Even a mid-level Martial King expert would struggle to withstand such a full-force attack.
Although Feng Siyue had sword intent protecting her, her cultivation didn’t seem very high. She was strong in swordsmanship, but that was about it. People thought these treasures would definitely penetrate the sword intent and harm Feng Siyue.
“It looks like Han Yue will lose soon!”
“After all, the other side has five of the best students from Vast Academy and three disciples from the Thunder Sect. They have undergone countless trials and are definitely more than capable of handling a single woman.”
“Exactly, although Han Yue is a genius in swordsmanship, she is too young. Her sword techniques are ordinary and singular. Maybe in a few more years, she could become more formidable, but for now…”
People shook their heads, not favoring her.
One person against eight more outstanding disciples clearly gave the other side the advantage.
Thus, while the battle raged above, betting began again below.
Everyone thought Feng Siyue was doomed, so they all bet on the Vast Academy side. However, there were always exceptions. Among the crowd, there were always a couple of people who bet against the majority. These two bet on Feng Siyue winning, and their stakes were enormous.
These two happened to be Di Xuan Shang and Lu Chen!
Everyone in the arena looked at the two calmly fanning themselves, shaking their heads and concluding that they were fools with money to burn!
On the field, Feng Siyue heard the words ‘singular sword techniques’ and couldn’t help but smile. “You all seem to have a misunderstanding about the sword techniques of the Tianmen Sword Sect. This isn’t called singular; it’s simplifying the complex and unifying the great way!”
She held the sword in her delicate hand, speaking as she defended against the treasure attacks.
Her movements were still simple, but the difference was that each swing of her sword, though seemingly ordinary, contained a terrifying sword intent. It was as if countless afterimages were hidden within.
Boom!
A sixth-grade treasure shaped like a golden bell shattered with a loud noise!
Feng Wanqing’s expression changed drastically. The Dingkun Circle in Senior Brother Chen’s hand was a top-tier sixth-grade treasure, almost approaching the seventh grade. It was about to develop a spirit and was incredibly solid and powerful.
Yet, it had split in half with just one sword strike, and this was amidst the combined attack of eight different treasures!
Crack!
Just as Feng Wanqing couldn’t believe her eyes, several more cracking sounds suddenly came in quick succession!
She looked down to see her fifth-grade treasure cracking, and the treasures of the other six people also developing cracks!
The light from the treasures dimmed, and Feng Siyue swung her sword again. Several people dropped their treasures and quickly dodged, with Feng Wanqing even hiding behind other disciples.
Feng Siyue retracted her sword intent, but more than a dozen people were still affected by the sword energy and fell to the ground.
Immediately, elders from various sects came up to take the injured away for treatment.
Feng Siyue didn’t want to harm the innocent, so she didn’t strike to kill. However, the disciples from Vast Academy and the Thunder Sect who were at the forefront suffered the most severe injuries.
Except for Feng Wanqing.
“Tsk tsk, hiding behind others and using them as meat shields, is this the ability of a dignified Holy Maiden?”

Feng Siyue slowly and calmly sheathed her sword and took out a handkerchief to wipe off the rust, all while looking at Feng Wanqing with a mocking expression.
