Dougie’s bodyy there, while the remaining four individuals, weakened and on high alert, stared at L as if facing a formidable enemy.


    What was originally thought to be a sure kill situation turned into L’s counterattack! Dougie, who had temporarily possessed the peak strength of the Nascent Soul stage, unexpectedly fell during the confrontation.


    The other four felt nothing but panic and despair. They were well aware that the four of them alone would definitely be unable to kill L.


    However, at that moment, the sound of footsteps emerged. Looking towards the sound, they saw a group of high-ranking members from the Sun Moon Sect rushing over. Leading them was Gxie! After wandering around the sect with the others for quite some time, he had finally found the ce.


    At this moment, as everyone looked at the scene in the abandoned medicinal field, their expressions immediately changed.


    The originally dpidated buildings here had beenpletely leveled! The ground was pockmarked and even had terrifying cracks, as if it had experienced an earthquake.


    Lingering energy fluctuations in the air indicated that a fierce battle had taken ce here before. And on the ground, therey a corpse! Blood flowed profusely from the neck of the corpse, gathering beneath it like a river of blood. It was a shocking sight.


    At first nce, Gxie and the sect leader, Leonel, had a triumphant and cruel smirk on their faces. Their initial reaction to someone dying here was that L had been eliminated.


    After all, wasn’t Gxie deliberately stalling Dougie and the others to buy time? However, the next moment, when Leonel and Gxie scanned the entire scene and saw the figure standing next to the corpse, their expressions instantly changed.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Upon seeing the corpse… it turned out to be so familiar! “Dougie!”


    “My son!” Gxie eximed in shock. The formidable Nascent Soul stage expert stumbled and then rushed toward the corpse, bumping into things along the way. The next moment, when he held the body in his arms and fully recognized who it was, his heart sank to the bottom. His face was filled with grief and anger.


    “Dougie! Dougie, wake up!” “My son!” A series of mournful cries resounded from Gxie’s mouth. Meanwhile, Leonel stood there, his figure swaying. Dougie, Gxie’s son and Leonel’s grandson, had suddenly be a lifeless body, dead before their eyes.


    The next moment, with narrowed pupils, Leonel looked at L, who was standing there, wearing an expression of disbelief. Dougie, along with four other Nascent Soul experts from the sect, had joined forces to kill L!


    And yet, it was Dougie who died. How could this be? Was L’s strength truly so astonishing? Wasn’t he only at thete Golden Core stage? “L, was it you who took his life? Pay with your own!” At this moment, Gxie’s face twisted with a fierce expression of resentment as he looked at L.


    With that, he soared into the air and charged towards L, wielding the remaining half of the cial River Dragon Sparrow de, ready to engage in battle.


    However, at that moment, a giant hammer came whistling towards Gxie, aiming to strike him. Boom! Gxie quickly met the attack with both palms, striking the iing hammer and using the force to swiftly retreat.


    Elder Fiery Dragon appeared in front of L, ring at Gxie with a cold and stern expression. “Elder Gxie, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill the Descendant of Dudrar Dragon?” he angrily questioned. Gxie, with a sorrowful and resentful look on his face, pointed at L and gritted his teeth. “He killed my son. Can’t I seek revenge for Dougie?”


    “Do you even know the full story? It seems like you haven’t rified anything,” Elder Fiery Dragon said in a deep voice. The other high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Sect present had different expressions and were specting in their minds.


    At that moment, Leonel’s face turned cold, and he turned to the other four Nascent Soul experts. “What exactly happened? Speak up!” he said, signaling them with his eyes.


    The next second, one of them blinked a few times, then showed an angry expression and pointed at L. “Reporting to the Sect Master, Dougie heard that the Descendant of Dudrar Dragon hade to the sect, so he brought us here to get to know him.


    As fellow cultivators of simr age, Dougie and L developed a sense ofpetition.


    They engaged in a sparring match. Initially, it was a good thing, and Dougie held back since he believed his cultivation level was higher than L’s.


    However, who knew… who knew that L would take advantage of Dougie’s unpreparedness and attack him directly!”


    “That’s right! It was supposed to be just a sparring match, but this L actually attacked!”


    “Dougie wanted to test him, but L didn’t hold back!”


    “…”, the other three people also spoke up, their faces filled with anger.


    “Hmph! L, you’re heartless! It was just a friendlypetition, yet you directly attacked?” After hearing this, Leonel snorted coldly and angrily interrogated L. A terrible murderous intent locked onto L.


    Gxie’s expression was fierce, as if he wanted to tear L apart. “Hahaha… This is hrious! What a show you’re putting on. Is it true, all four of you?”


    L’s face showed a mocking expression as he coldly asked. Then, his tone turned sharp as he addressed Elder Fiery Dragon, “Elder, if your sect doesn’t wee the Descendant of Dudrar Dragon, you didn’t have to invite me, did you? Did you bring me here just to suppress me? You could have attacked me directly on that ind. Why go through all this trouble?”


    At that moment, Elder Fiery Dragon’s face changed unpredictably. The next second, he spoke in a deep voice, “L, don’t worry! I will ensure fairness in this matter.”


    With that, Elder Fiery Dragon let out a heavy cold snort and red angrily at the four Nascent Soul experts. “You four keep iming that Dougie and L were just sparring. Does that mean none of youid a hand on him? Is that right?”


    As his words fell, the expressions of the four Nascent Soul experts froze, and they were momentarily speechless.


    The four of them had just cooperated with Dougie, using the Five-Star Linked Array technique, draining almost all of their true energy.


    The people present were all high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Sect, each with terrifying strength. It was clear to even a blind person whether they had made a move or not.


    “Hmph, even if they did make a move, so what? It must have been after L vited the martial code and killed Dougie!”


    At this moment, Gxie’s expression darkened as he cunningly defended himself.
