However, since Xiao Lingfeng had already decided to walk the path of the villain, he naturally could not walk the same path as those pretentious protagonists. Therefore, after the family head made this suggestion, Xiao Lingfeng stood up directly.
Before the clan head could react, he threw out a dark-attribute Yuan Qi pillar. This pillar was like a poisonous dragon that carried a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and rushed towards the clan head.
Facing such a crafty attack, the cannon fodder clan head, who had not reacted in time, was sent flying. He smashed a huge pit in the sturdy ground of the King Vanquishing East's mansion.
After suffering such an attack, the mid-tier Spiritual Grade armor worn by the clan head, which was enough to defend against the attack of a Martial Marshal Realm expert, shattered.
Not only that, but he also suffered a huge impact. While he was in a sorry state, his internal organs were also heavily injured.
From the blood he spat out, it could be inferred that the wounds he suffered could not be slowly healed with the passage of time.
After seeing this situation, everyone at the banquet had a more or less solemn expression on their faces.
They all knew the Clan Head from earlier. He was the Clan Head of the Eastern Clan, the Zhong Clan. The Zhong Clan was also one of the old subordinates who had followed the East Vanquishing Prince Clan back then. In terms of strength, they were not inferior to the Mo Clan.
The Zhong Family Head was not inferior to Mo Jing Lei in terms of strength. However, he was unable to withstand a single blow from the Shadow Pavilion Master. Everyone present knew what this meant.
Although there was an element of sneak attack, only a Martial King could cripple a Rank 8 Martial Marshal Realm expert with one strike.
Moreover, the attack method that the Dark Shadow Pavilion Master had displayed just now was indeed the Yuan Qi unique to a Martial King Realm expert.
Perhaps a Martial King Realm expert could be faked, but it was impossible to fake something like Vital Qi. This was the proof of an expert above the Martial King Realm.
Furthermore, East Vanquishing Prince knew even more. Through the fluctuation of that wisp of vital qi, he naturally discovered that the Dark Shadow Pavilion Master was the mysterious Martial King who had forced another fire-attributed Martial King to death three days ago.
Thinking of this, East Vanquishing Prince felt a wave of regret. After all, he was the one who had saved the enemy who had the ability to kill a Martial King Realm expert. He even thought that the other emperors had caused him trouble.
At the thought of this, East Vanquishing Prince looked at the Dark Shadow Pavilion Master, who was as still as a mountain, as if he had done nothing. He was prepared to see his next move before making a plan.
After all, East Vanquishing Prince's mansion was in a very bad situation, so they couldn't afford any major internal strife.
Therefore, after confirming that the Shadow Pavilion Master had indeed reached the Martial King Realm and that his strength was not weak even within the Martial King Realm, East Vanquishing Prince had already given up on the plan to annex the Shadow Pavilion.
However, this did not mean that the Prince of East Vanquishing Mansion was afraid of the Shadow Pavilion. After all, the Prince of East Vanquishing Mansion had been an existence in the Tianyun Empire for hundreds of years.
If the Shadow Pavilion really wanted to start a war, the East Vanquishing Prince's Mansion could easily destroy them. (East Vanquishing Prince thought so himself.)
However, there was one thing that could be easily analyzed, and that was that the right to decide whether or not to start the war had already fallen into Xiao Lingfeng's hands.
All of this was within Xiao Lingfeng's expectations. After all, the situation of the East Vanquishing Prince's mansion in the Tianyun Empire could be said to be very bad.
There were a total of four Conferred Kings in the Tianyun Empire. Other than the East Vanquishing Prince, there were also the West, South, and North Kings who guarded the other three sides of the Tianyun Empire.
The ancestors of these four Conferred Kings had followed the founder of the Tianyun Empire. They had made great contributions to the expansion of the territory and the establishment of the country. This allowed them to obtain the hereditary title of King and have their own territory.
However, it was not easy to claim territory. Every Conferred King had their own responsibilities. For example, the fiefs of the West, South, and North Kings were adjacent to the other three empires.
The mission of these three kings was to stop the other three empires from attacking the Tianyun Empire.
The task that the Prince of East Vanquishing Mansion had to do was to stop the attack of the demon beasts in the demon beast mountain range. This task was very difficult in the past.
After all, from the founding of the Tianyun Empire to more than 100 years ago, every three to five years, the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range would launch a beast tide to attack the east.
Because every beast tide was extremely fierce, the East Vanquishing Prince's Mansion was under intense pressure. At the same time, they received great support from the Tianyun Emperor in terms of resources, as well as assistance from the various large sects that also lived in the east.
"It has to be said that because there is a Demon Beast Mountain Range in the east, there are many treasures brewing in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Moreover, the Demon Beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range can train their disciples."
Therefore, the major sects in the entire Tianyun Empire were basically concentrated in the east, including the strongest Sky Cloud Sect.
Of course, this was not the most important reason. The most important reason was that the other three sides were all battlefields. The cities and territories there could change owners at any time due to the battle between the two empires. It was extremely unstable.
Moreover, one had to leave a way out for themselves. It was fine to kill the demons, but if they offended all the humans, there would be no way out.
As such, the sects hated the places where they fought with other humans. Even sects that were not suitable to cultivate in the east were not willing to leave.
It was also because of the support of these sects that East Vanquishing Prince's clan, which was not much stronger than the other emperors, was able to endure the fierce attacks of the demon beasts.
However, King Vanquishing East's Mansion was ungrateful. They often stabbed the disciples in the back, causing the major sects to lose many elite disciples.
Although the major sects knew about this matter, they could only give up because the East Vanquishing Prince's Mansion had the full support of the Tianyun Imperial Family and there was no substantial evidence.
However, this hatred continued to accumulate. The various sects had never forgotten this hatred. Slowly, this hatred became something like an obsession.
This caused all the large sects in the east to have a bad impression of King Vanquishing East's residence. It could even be said that they hated him.
This was also one of the reasons why the East Vanquishing Prince's Mansion was in such decline. After all, their ancestors had offended too many people in the past, so they were very unpopular now and could not get the help of any large sects.
