Amongst the crowds, another Peacock Lord emerged, no, not just another, if you looked carefully, you would find at least a hundred Peacock Lords mixing themselves within the fanfare.

Sparrow Lord did not get angry nor agitated that his attacking attempt failed, instead, he was grinning from ear to ear as he roared: “You’ve never disappointed me, huh, Xuankong!”

He touched his spatial ring and summoned hundreds of daggers while controlling and floating them midair with his Theríon. After using his Theríon Sonar to locate the positions and check the cultivations of all Peacock Lord’s clones, Sparrow Lord shot all of his drifting daggers toward each of the clones' forehead. The clones with stronger cultivations got more daggers heading to them than the ones with weaker cultivations.

From a hundred plus Peacock Lords, there was only one with the cultivation of Five Wings Master. Although not every dagger Sparrow Lord threw out was attached with the [Lightning Mark], the one hurled at the real Peacock Lord had one on it.

Sparrow Lord cast another lightning sphere on his one hand. This time the power contained within it was much more devastating than the one he used to kill the twins as its size was about three times larger than before.

At the moment where all daggers were about to hit their targets, Sparrow Lord flashed and appeared in front of the real Peacock Lord, then ruthlessly flung the [Lightning Blast] toward his opponent.

Sparrow Lord prepared to use another Theríon Sonar. If Peacock Lord decided to switch places with one of his clones, he would immediately teleport himself to the closest dagger and attack with his skill. Of course, he had already considered Peacock Lord trying to receive his skill directly, that was why he put a lot of energy into his [Lightning Blast] until its destructive power was enough to bypass the suppressive principle of one level difference.

Just as Sparrow Lord had planned, Peacock Lord swapped places with another clone with the least daggers flying toward it. Although the real one was able to deflect the dagger easily, more than half of the hundred clones were under the Wing Realm, they could do nothing but instantly dissipate when hit by the daggers shot by the mid-stage Wing Realm Master. Nevertheless, more clones were immediately manifested to fill up the lost number.

Upon the activation of Theríon Sonar, Sparrow Lord quickly followed the real Peacock Lord as he mockingly laughed: “Hahaha! How long can you keep up this chase-and-run game? Will your Theríon be able to hold it for more than five minutes?”

With a grabbing motion of his hand, Sparrow Lord pulled all of the daggers he just threw back to surround him like before. Then, their chase-and-run game repeated itself in the same manner.

The speed of their game was too fast for most of the people gathering in front of the Peacock Pavilion to see it clearly; however, Feng Luotian and the rest of his gang could still barely track with their eyes.

Watching the fight, they could not help but have the confused look on their faces. Mei Yue’er asked out: “Why doesn’t Father retaliate? His cultivation is obviously higher than the Sikong’s clan chief!”

The team agreeing nodded as they thought of the same question in their mind. Feng Luotian was once again the only one who fully grasped the situation due to his experience. He then gave them a full elaboration: “It’s not because Uncle Mei doesn’t want to, but he can’t. The power of that lightning ball is probably strong enough to override the suppressive principle for two to three levels. The only move Uncle Mei could use to deal with it is the [Aurora Slash], but he can’t use it.”

Mei Yue’er and co. asked in unison: “Why?”

Feng Luotian inwardly sighed at the inexperience of his friends. Alas, they were still too young for this cruel world: “It’s because of us and other innocents standing in his way since the [Aurora Slash] is the sweeping attack that has a wide area of effect. Uncle Mei can’t possibly unleash it and hurt us in the process, can he?”

“!!” Once the answer hit their minds, their complexion turned ugly at the fact that they dragged Peacock Lord down.

Feng Luotian continued: “Of course, Uncle Mei has an ultimate single-target skill: [Thousand Illusions Strike], but the move takes too long to prepare and only works with the slowed target. With Sikong Jie’s speed, there’s no way that skill is going to hit. Sikong Jie unquestionably knows that Uncle Me doesn’t have any other strong and usable single-target skill, so he used the crowds as his tools to exploit Uncle Mei’s standpoint. I guess he’s already planned to fight Uncle Mei the moment he arrived since he used the suppressive force to alert a lot of people to gather here instead of privately doing business between just the two of them. This Sikong Clan’s Clan Chief is very cunning and on top of that, he knows Uncle Mei quite well.”

Mei Yue’er anxiously asked: “What do we do? At this rate, Father will lose as he spent too much Theríon.”

Feng Luotian predicted: “If Uncle Mei doesn’t have a way to deal with this, Master will have to make a move soon; however, that will damage Uncle Mei’s reputation and reliability. As the city lord, Uncle Mei needs to be the strongest person in the city. Requesting help in a one-on-one battle will make people doubt his authority and strength. That’s why Master hasn’t made a move until now. In the end, Uncle Mei is entirely on his own. He’s trying to find a way to protect the people since the beginning of the fight. But if those people have no clue about it, it’d be really difficult to get their collaboration. And yes, Yue’er, at this rate, if we don’t do something, he’s really going to lose.”

“!!” Mei Yue’er’s face was full of anxiety.

Sun Wuji could not help but comment: “Being a city lord is not easy at all. But since he’s a Wing Realm Master, why doesn’t he just fly and face his opponent in the air?”

Feng Luotian replied with a question: “What if Sparrow Lord keeps appearing in the angle that there are always innocent people below him? Would you fire your ultimate move then?”

“!!” No more questions from Sun Wuji after realizing that there was no other way to get out of this situation.

The more Feng Luotian watched the fight, the more irritated he had become. He let out a loud sigh and started complaining: “Dang! This’s going nowhere! Uncle Mei is too kind. If it was me, I’d have taken his sons as hostages already.”

Everyone rolled their eyes at him thinking: “Who would be as shameless as you are?”

Feng Luotian turned to Xiu Yao: “Senior Brother, would you mind doing something shameless to help our school headmaster?”

Xiu Yao responded with a bright smile: “Of course, Junior Brother Feng! Why would I care about my reputation?”

Sun Wuji overheard it and immediately asked: “Senior Brother? So, he is our Senior Brother Xiu Yao? You found him already, Brother Feng!”

Xiu Yao turned to Sun Wuji: “Oh? You are my other junior brother? Nice to meet you! Would you like to hear my story?”

Sun Wuji, who knew nothing about Xiu Yao, immediately got excited: “Yes, I’d love …”

Feng Luotian smacked his hand on Sun Wuji’s shoulder and gripped it tightly: “We will do this after we settle this situation.”

He then turned to Xiu Yao: “Senior Brother, shall we?”

With that, two of them walked toward their master approaching him from the back, leaving Sun Wuji in his confused state of what was going on.

When Feng Luotian reached his master, he talked to him in a low voice: “Master, you should know that if this goes on, Uncle Mei will lose eventually. That’s why we’ve come to propose a plan, a shameless one.”

Mei Hengkong raised his brows, interested to hear the content of this plan: “Tell me your plan.” He had always been eccentric and did not care about his face. Nonetheless, he had to put his son’s reputation in mind. That was the reason why he did not lend a hand until now. If there was a plan that would not damage his son’s image, then he would like to hear it.

Before Feng Luotian elaborated his plan, he linked his Theríon with both Xiu Yao and Mei Hengkong to be able to freely speak through their minds: “I must ask Senior Brother this first. Are you willing to do anything to help Uncle Mei from his predicament, no matter how shameful you’re going to be afterward?”

Xiu Yao replied without any hesitation: “Of course! Peacock Lord is our headmaster and our pride! Why would I be complaining about how we’re going to save him?”

Feng Luotian repeated: “Are you absolutely sure?”

“Absolutely!” Xiu Yao was still smiling and nodded, not caring one bit of what was about to happen to him.

Hearing Feng Luotian confirmed his question, again and again, Mei Hengkong began to frown. He had a feeling that something even more unconventional than himself was about to occur.
