Chapter 1255 Old Acquaintances (1)

"It seems the Southern Continent is doing well." Standing on the skyship, Yun Lintian looked at the vast territory below thoughtfully.

Although some places were destroyed, the majority of the inland areas were basically safe and sound. Obviously, the profound beast tides didn't make them suffer much.

"Yes." Nantian Fengyu nodded in agreement. She didn't show anything on the surface but was extremely relieved in her heart upon seeing this scene.

After leaving the Northern Continent, Yun Lintian went through the grand teleporting formation and arrived at the Southern Continent in one go. The two were currently heading toward the Divine Phoenix Palace.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Yun Lintian saw a few familiar figures in the town below. They seemed to confront another group of people.

These people were the Plum Mountain Sect's Saintess Tong Liya and the Driftsnow Pavilion's Xue Lou'er. The one they were confronted with was Situ Yuanzhi, who was slapped by Yun Lintian in the past.

Yun Lintian was surprised to see Situ Yuanzhi here as he remembered he had destroyed his Yang Gate back then. It seemed the Great Earth Sect spared no effort to treat him in the past years.

"Situ Yuanzhi, you better stop making trouble here." Xue Lou'er said coldly.

Situ Yuanzhi smiled nonchalantly and said. "Xue Lou'er, which eyes did you use to see I am making trouble here? I am obviously helping everyone."

"Helping everyone? By robbing innocent people's food?" Xue Lou'er was furious and couldn't wait to punch the man before her.

Since the invasion from the Poison Valley started, everyone in the Southern Continent responded to the Divine Phoenix Palace's call and participated in the war. An army consisting of practitioners from the lowest realm to the Monarch Profound Realm was formed.

Because the practitioners below the Origin Profound Realm still needed food to maintain their bodies, the army's rations had become extremely crucial.

Since many coastal cities that played a great role in trading resources had been destroyed and would take a long time to recover. The Southern Continent's army started to suffer resource shortages over the year. Especially rations.

Now, Situ Yuanzhi tried to solve the problem by robbing food from ordinary mortals in the name of the army. This made Xue Lou'er and Tong Liya enraged when they knew about it.

"Why? Are they more important than the army?" Situ Yuanzhi chuckled. "Without us, they would have become those beasts' food by now. Don't you think they should contribute something?"

When the words came out, many ordinary people nearby were so angry, but they didn't dare to utter a sound. They could only place their hope on Tong Liya and Xue Lou'er.

"Also, don't try to act like you are a good person, Xue Lou'er. Do you want me to say about those nasty things you did back then?" Situ Yuanzhi said mockingly.

"You!" Xue Lou'er's face flushed red in anger and shame. She had done many bad things in the past but had completely changed her mind and behavior now. However, the past was the past, it was not a thing she could erase it.

Tong Liya looked at Situ Yuanzhi and said solemnly. "There's no need to take their food. The Divine Phoenix Palace will send ration over in a few days."

"Would they?" Situ Yuanzhi's eyes narrowed slightly. "Since the war started, they appeared a few times to take the hard-won credit and disappeared. They don't care about us at all."

"That's right!"

"Yeah! They have never come to the front line!"

Many people behind Situ Yuanzhi started to shout along as soon as he finished his sentence. A fool could see they were bought by him.

However, the effect was working well. The ordinary people nearby began to whisper one by one. With their strength, Tong Liya and Xue Lou'er could hear that they seemed to believe in Situ Yuanzhi's words.

This matter could not be blamed on them. After all, they rarely met people from the Divine Phoenix Palace during this period.

Seeing this scene, Situ Yuanzhi smiled coldly. He had already achieved the first step of ruining the Divine Phoenix Palace's reputation.

During these few months, he had been doing this in various places, and the results were pretty good. As long as he continued, people on this continent would soon distrust the Divine Phoenix Palace, and chaos would slowly emerge.

"Nonsense! They…" Xue Lou'er was about to retort, but she suddenly saw a man slowly descend from the sky. This person was naturally Yun Lintian.

Situ Yuanzhi's expression changed drastically when he saw Yun Lintian. A deep hatred flashed through his eyes as he glared at the latter coldly.

"Young Master Yun?" Tong Liya was surprised to see Yun Lintian here.

"It's been a while, Saintess Tong." Yun Lintian landed on the ground and greeted her gently.

He then turned to Situ Yuanzhi and said. "I didn't expect your Yang Gate to recover this soon. Your sect really loves you, heh?"

"Yun Lintian! How dare you appear in front of me again!?" Situ Yuanzhi said angrily. The uncontrollable hatred in his chest could no longer be suppressed.

"Capture him for me!"

As soon as Situ Yuanzhi shouted, the powerful practitioners behind him immediately rushed toward Yun Lintian. They were Situ Yuanzhi's bodyguards with the strength of the Monarch Profound Realm.

"Be careful!" Tong Liya and Xue Lou'er shouted and released their aura, trying to intervene.

At this moment, Yun Lintian chuckled and said. "I was thinking about an excuse I would use to kill you. Well, thank you for giving it to me."

Afterward, he simply waved his hand, and a golden cut immediately flashed in the air before him.

Rip—

The sound of blood splattering was so loud that it was nearly ear-piercing. The bodies of the seven people who rushed over split into four parts in the air. With their surging profound energy, all the blood in their bodies burst out like a fountain, and it rained down from the sky like a terrifying scene of bloody rain.

Bang bang…

A dull falling noise rang as several broken bodies fell in front of Situ Yuanzhi. A deathly silence immediately engulfed the scene.

Situ Yuanzhi, Tong Liya, Xue Lou'er, and the surrounding people were stunned on the spot, and their eyes gradually widened in horror.
