Everyone carefully savored the power of the aftermath. Some even took this opportunity to sneak away, lest the four men decided to silence everyone and they got killed for no reason.
After all, it was never a glorious thing to win by outnumbering one’s opponent. What if they wanted to keep it a secret forever?
“No! Father…”
Ji Rui’s face was pale as she rushed forward desperately, even though she was now alone and was no match for these people.
The light in Ji Zheng’s eyes had already faded and he was already seeing multiple images of Ji Rui.
He pushed himself up with difficulty as the movement soaked his clothes with blood.
“Rui’er, don’t come over!”
He knew very well that he was hanging on by a thread to stay alive in this world and it was no longer important whether he stayed or left. However, Ji Rui had just broken through to the Martial Sage realm at the age of 3,000 years old. Her future was far brighter than his.
Furthermore, Ji Rui’s strength was no match for these people. She would probably lose her life for no reason.
Ji Rui saw Ji Zheng’s actions clearly and immediately froze in place, her eyes filled with sorrow.
“Hahaha! Northwest Ling Clan——Ling Taihe, I’m afraid you’re not a Martial Sage after all. I think you’re already a half-Martial Emperor. Your thoughts are too sinister!”
Ji Zheng sneered and looked at Miao Yuan and the others. “Did you plan everything today?”
“Don’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame this Dual Polarity Sect you founded for being too eye-catching.”
“Ling Taihe, what conditions did you agree to for the three of them to work so hard for you?!”
Ling Taihe glanced coldly at Ji Zheng, who was half lying on the ground, as if he were a dead man.
He said indifferently, “The four of us will join forces and split the Dual Polarity Sect equally. Don’t blame me. Originally, I only wanted Ji Rui to marry Ling Cheng. As long as you agree, none of this would have happened.”
“But you all have let me down.”
These four men originally did not intend to fall out with him. They originally just wanted Ling Cheng to marry Ji Rui and then slowly take over her authority.
As long as that was the case, the Dual Polarity Sect would be theirs sooner or later.
However, the worst outcome still happened. Ji Zheng rejected this marriage and chose Chu Feng, that hairless kid.
Ling Taihe thought of a plan to use his identity to make Ji Zheng lower his guard.
Ji Zheng mistakenly thought that he was a first-stage Martial Sage and could be defeated. Later on, he relaxed a little, which allowed the three sect masters to find an opportunity to attack.
Who would have thought that Ling Taihe had already become a half-Martial Emperor!
This series of traps really dealt a big blow to Ji Zheng.
“Hmph, you guys really think too highly of me!”
He took in the smug expressions of the four men and said slowly, “Half-Martial Emperor and three Martial Sages joining forces to deal with an old man who’s about to die. Haha! If word gets out, it’ll really be a joke.”
Ling Taihe’s expression turned to embarrassment.
“Given that I have not made any move, why not hand over the seal of the Dual Polarity Sect and I can still spare you some time to say goodbye to your daughter.”
However, it was like Ji Zheng had heard a joke. He completely ignored his bleeding wound and laughed heartily.
“Could it be that you’re willing to let us go after I hand over the Dual Polarity Sect? Tsk tsk, what a reasonable person! Unfortunately, I’ve lived for so long and won’t be fooled by these flowery words.”
“Just now, even your combined forces were unable to kill me in one strike.”
“Now I’m ready to face the fight, and I happen to have the seal of the Dual Polarity Sect with me…”
After hearing the phrase “seal of the Dual Polarity Sect”, the four of them fell silent.
Ji Zheng saw the fear in their eyes and sneered. “Even if I die, I’ll drag one or two of you down with me.”

As soon as he said that, the surroundings became so quiet that even the sound of breathing could no longer be heard.
Man proposed, God disposed. Originally, they were prepared to defeat the enemy in one move.
However, who would have thought that things on the battlefield would change so quickly? Although Ji Zheng was seriously injured, he was not dead… Moreover, on this day, he even had the seal of the Dual Polarity Sect on him!
If Ling Taihe’s attack had hit his heart just now, it would not have been so troublesome!
Since Ji Zheng had said that he would drag someone down with him, he would definitely not go back on his word. For a moment, no one dared to step forward rashly, afraid that they would become the scapegoat.
After all, they were all old foxes who had cultivated for a thousand years. No matter how stupid they were, they did not want their hard work to end up benefiting others.
Even Ling Taihe, who was a half-Martial Emperor, did not dare to say that he could escape unscathed from the self-destruction of a first-stage Martial Sage.
The situation on both sides was deadlocked for a moment.
“Father, how are you now…”
Ji Rui stared intently at Ji Zheng’s injured and bleeding left shoulder with great concern.
A terrifying thought came to her mind. Perhaps her father would self-destruct here because of the Dual Polarity Sect… This was indeed in line with his unyielding temper.
“Sly and cunning old bastard! He actually schemed so much. Sigh.”
Chu Feng was really both anxious and angry.
Ever since he transmigrated, he had been living the life of an ordinary person. When had he ever seen such a big scene?
But Heaven liked to play jokes on people and he had to encounter such bad luck on his wedding day.
“Sigh, system oh system, I didn’t expect that I would die as soon as you were bound to me… I’m still a virgin who just got married!”
He almost fainted with rage.
No, no…
He seemed to have missed something important.
Wait a minute, I’m someone with system cheat codes!
Chu Feng raised his eyebrows and suddenly opened his eyes to look at Ji Rui, who had a cold expression on her face.
Earlier, the system seemed to have said that as long as there was intimate physical contact with his wife, he would be truly bound to the system!
Perhaps there would be a possibility of the situation turning after he got bound to the system. It was hard to predict at the moment.
At this juncture, if he kissed Ji Rui, perhaps he might die even faster?
Sigh…
A man who died under the peony flowers would become a merry ghost.
Even if I die, I want to die at the hands of my beautiful wife instead of at the hands of those sinister and cunning old men!
He was going to die sooner or later anyway. He would risk it!
Chu Feng made up his mind and forced himself to faint, pretending to faint into Ji Rui’s lap.
Ji Rui was in no mood to investigate this little action of his. She stared intently at Ji Zheng in the air.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Chu Feng falling over but she did not even dodge.
Chu Feng was secretly delighted as he watched that smooth face get closer and closer to him…
He was about to kiss her!
He did not dare to be too presumptuous and only brushed Ji Rui’s face lightly so that she did not get suspicious.
“Ding Dong! System successfully activated.”
