Xiang Huo began to have difficulty dealing with Shen Feng and the one-horned python, because the two of them cooperated very well. To be precise, Shen Feng's ability to control the temperature of fire was quite terrifying, and it was basically all-pervasive.
Even so, Shen Feng and the others were unable to extinguish Xiang Huo, and could only make the opponent retreat steadily.
Soon an hour passed. The monks here at Xiang Huo were either dead or wounded or surrendered. A large number of monks had begun to surround Xiang Huo.
At this time, Xiang Huo's hair was disheveled and he looked very embarrassed. He no longer looked aloof like before. His robes were torn in many places and blood stains were all over his clothes.
He looked at Shen Feng across from him with red eyes, and said angrily
"Damn you, you actually forced me to do this. Okay, I admit that you have some abilities, but no matter how hard I fight, you can't kill me."
"Why don't you let me go, so your battle is over and you can take over the Red Flame Sect."
Shen Feng snorted coldly
"Hmph, I didn't expect that the majestic leader of the Red Flame Sect also learned to surrender. This is not your style. If word spreads, the world will laugh at you."
Xiang Huo could no longer care about so much at this time. After all, he was able to keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood. This was his ability to bend and stretch, and this kind of person was also the most terrifying.
Shen Feng also narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiang Huo at this time, muttering in his heart
"What he said is right. Even if all of us attack him together, we can't kill him completely. But if we just let him go, it will definitely be a big trouble in the future."
"What should we do? Do we really have to let him go?"
Just when Shen Feng was struggling, a loud roar came from a distance.
"Xiang Huo, if you want to kill our elder, this is a serious crime. Can you leave so safely?"
Xiang Huo's scalp was numb at this time because he already knew the identity of the person who came. This person was Hu Fei, the leader of Lanri Sect. Xiang Huo murmured:
"It's incredible that he actually came in person. It seems that I am doomed. I almost managed to escape from here."
Xiang Huo clenched his silver teeth at this moment, and he made a decision. Anyway, he would die, so he risked it, so he immediately jumped up from the ground and flew towards the outside of the sect.
Hu Fei also sneered at this time, and he chased after him. Shen Feng and the others looked at this scene and found it very funny.
Ten breaths later, the sound of fighting came from the distance, followed by screams. Of course, you didn't need to think twice to know that this was a fight between Hu Fei and Xiang Huo, and the winner was definitely Hu Fei.
Sure enough, not long after, Hu Fei flew over from a distance calmly. All the monks knelt down and saluted Hu Fei, while Shen Feng clasped his fists and bowed to him.
Hu Fei came to Shen Feng with a big smile, patted his shoulder and said appreciatively
"Little friend, I didn't expect you to be able to push Xiang Huo to this point. It's really rare. Your courage and strategy are definitely top-notch."
"Originally, I thought you would fight Xiang Huo in a very embarrassed manner. I even came here a few days early. I didn't expect to see you beat him to a pulp. It's really beautiful."
"If it weren't for your heart not being here, I would really want you to be the head of Lanri Sect."
Shen Feng smiled slightly and replied
"The sect master has given me the award. I am just lucky. Without the support of these partners, I would have been lying here long ago and become a useless person."
Speaking of this, Shen Feng seemed to have thought of something, and he immediately told Hu Fei
"Sect Master, this battle mainly depends on the help of a few people. Let me introduce them."
After saying that, he pointed at Bai Lun and said
"This is Bai Lun. His leadership ability is quite strong, and the monks he leads are also very disciplined. I think he can now be said to be both moral and artistic."
Hu Fei glanced at Shen Feng. He knew what Shen Feng meant, so he coughed and said
"Okay, since Bai Lun has made great contributions to this battle, and the Scarlet Flame Sect is still short of a leader, I hereby announce that from now on, Bai Lun is qualified to be the leader of the Scarlet Flame Sect."
Bai Lun was extremely excited at this moment. He actually still had a sense of belonging to the Lanri Sect. It was because he couldn't stand Xiang Huo that he wanted to pull Xiang Huo down.
At this time, he walked forward excitedly, knelt down and thanked
"Thank you, Master, for your support, and thank you, Elder Shen, for your promotion. I will definitely give all the Scarlet Flame Sect monks a sense of belonging and unite them. If the Blue Sun Sect is in trouble, we will definitely rush to the front."
Hu Fei nodded with satisfaction. At this time, he was also happy in his heart, because being able to bite off such a large piece of fat made it all worth it.
Although the Chiyan Sect's vitality is severely damaged now, given them some time, they will definitely be able to stand up, and they will definitely be able to walk in front of others. After all, they have the foundation to exist.
Shen Feng glanced at Hu Fei and continued:
"Sect Master, there is one more thing I need to tell you. There are many criminal cultivators here, and they were all imprisoned unjustly. I have investigated these clearly."
"In this battle, they fought as the first echelon. I think their actions started the first battle of this battle, so their contribution is also indispensable."
Hu Fei glanced at Shen Feng, then glanced at the monks wearing coarse clothes below, so he said to Bai Lun
"Sect Master Bai, this is your internal matter. I think you should handle it yourself."
Hu Fei's meaning was very obvious. Since he had delegated power to Bai Lun, now was the time for him to use it.
If it was Bai Lun who exempted these sin cultivators from their sins, then his status in the sin cultivators' hearts would also be very high.
Bai Lun also instantly understood what Hu Fei meant. After all, he had been in his elder position for a long time, so he still knew about this strategy of winning people's hearts.
So he cleared his throat and announced loudly
"All the criminal cultivators here have been investigated and found out. They are all imprisoned on trumped-up charges. Not only do you not feel resentful in your hearts, but you are willing to help the Red Flame Sect tide over the difficulties."
"Your sincerity must be obvious to all, so I hereby announce that all of you will be free again, and you will then go through some assessments to choose the team you want to join."
At this time, these sin cultivators were very excited. They thanked Bai Lun loudly and immediately knelt down.
Bai Lun looked at this scene and felt indescribably excited. After all, he had been thinking about it for a long time. Now he finally had the opportunity to ascend to the position of the sect leader, and it was fair and aboveboard. How could he not be excited?
Then Shen Feng continued:
"Sect Master, there is one more thing. Look at that one-horned python."
He pointed at the very obvious one-horned python in the distance, and then said
"He was captured from the forest by the Scarlet Flame Sect with great efforts, and his soul was also taken away. In this battle, he fought desperately with Xiang Huo."
"This turned the situation around at a critical moment, so what about its freedom?"
Hu Fei glanced at the one-horned giant python, which happened to be looking at him as well. Hu Fei said slowly
"Give you freedom. It's not easy for you to practice. I hope you won't be an enemy of the monks in the future and protect your family."
After he finished speaking, Shen Feng gave his soul to the one-horned python, and then he nodded towards the other party to express his gratitude.
The one-horned python also nodded towards Shen Feng, with a hint of gratitude.
Finally, Hu Fei looked at Shen Feng and said
"It won't happen this time. You have given enough favors. No wonder you can recruit so many monks to help you."
Shen Feng smiled and said nothing, but Chihu couldn't sit still at this time. He rushed forward and said directly
"Sect Master, you see that I, Chihu, have also made great contributions. You decide to give me some reward."
Hu Fei laughed loudly after hearing this, pointed at Chihu and said
"You, you, you are always the one who wants treasures. I was in a hurry when I went out this time, so I didn't prepare any treasures. I will supply them to you later."
"Besides, when I come this time, the first thing is to solve the problem of the Scarlet Flame Sect, and the second thing is that I need to explain some things to little friend Shen Feng."
Chihu nodded, then smiled.
Afterwards, they briefly said a few words and let the monks disperse to rest and wait for the ceremony for Bai Lun to become the sect leader in a week.
Shen Feng and the others followed Hu Fei and came to the palace here.
As soon as Hu Fei sat down, he motioned for Shen Feng to sit next to him. At this time, there were Bai Lun, Chi Hu, and some key monks in the hall.
After they chatted about some domestic matters, Hu Fei motioned for them to leave first. He had something to say to Shen Feng alone.
After that, they withdrew from the main hall. After they left, Shen Feng asked doubtfully
"Sect Master, what do you want from me? Is someone from the Lanri Sect planning to invade? Or is there something big going on?"
Hu Fei thought for a while and said
"Actually, it's not something difficult. Instead, it's a happy event."
At this time, Shen Feng was even more confused. Logically speaking, Hu Fei should be happy about the happy event, but judging from his expression, he seemed to have something to hide.
Hu Fei paused, as if he had made some determination, and said directly
"Let's put it this way, I received a notification some time ago about an area some distance away from here. They are much larger than our sect."
"And their overall strength is much stronger than ours. They said they would hold a martial arts competition, but only late-stage foundation-building monks are required to participate."
"Actually, our Lanri Sect has not had the quota to participate in the past few years. The reason why we were given a quota this time is because we annexed a sect, and the superiors gave us a chance to show ourselves."
"A sect like ours actually has very limited resources. Moreover, we have just experienced a war, so we are very short of resources."
"So after much thought, I still think you are more suitable. After all, your strength is here. In terms of cultivation and brainpower, you are one of the best."
"But I think it's a bit selfish of me to do this, so I'm still hesitant."
After Shen Feng listened, he already knew what Hu Fei was thinking. Generally speaking, he needed some powerful sects to give him some resources, so that his sect could rise quickly.
Now the only way to obtain resources and attention from a powerful sect is to win this competition, which will allow the sect to get ahead.
In fact, Shen Feng thought further. Since he knew that Blood Moon was safe, he began to lay out an overall situation, an overall situation that could compete with the Xingri Sect, although this situation was difficult to lay out.
But Shen Feng believes that as long as he is given some opportunities and time, he will be able to arrange it.
Solving the internal disputes for Lanri Sect is his first move. This move can give him his own team and a sense of belonging.
This is also proof that he has taken a small step. In this competition, he can not only represent the Lanri Sect, but also make his name known.
If you make your name known, it will not be so easy for Xingri Sect to touch you in the future.
