Chapter 396: The Army of Tigers and Wolves
"Come out, all of you!"
At Xiao Yi's command, the radiant heavens' net above the earthen wall suddenly tore open with countless fissures.
Within those fissures...
Shadows began to emerge bit by bit.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
These specks transformed into nearly ten thousand silhouettes, steadily descending and landing behind Xiao Yi.
An oppressive sea of black, like a steel torrent, they lined up in neat squares, each face bearing an aura of severity.
Leading them were none other than Little Lin and the Shadow Demon, among others.
Whoosh!
Turning into a two-meter-tall Little Lin, she moved her body, settling to Xiao Yi's left, her golden scale armor shimmering with a dazzling light. Glittering and blinding, each scale looked as if it were forged from endlessly tempered metal, producing a chilling metallic sheen as she moved silently.
Her two-meter stature stood erect, with four claws dangling from her underbelly and two particularly brilliant dragon horns atop her head.
Her eyes sparkled like gemstones.
The moment she released her aura comparable to the Eightfold Dharma Manifestation Realm, it made everyone, including Sun Yao, fall silent, only to hear Little Lin speak in human tongue, "Xiaoshanhe Institute Punishment Hall Master Xiao Lin, at your service, Institute Head!"
Following closely.
The Shadow Demon stepped forward, his towering figure like a humanoid bear, and his voice thunderous like shocking thunder, deafening, "Battle Hall Master Shadow Demon, at your service, Institute Head!"
Whoosh!
Fu Yuan's hands blazed with two balls of fire, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned as the orange-red flame illuminated his face, casting distinct contours, "All Things Hall Master Fu Yuan, at your service, Institute Head!"
Boom!
Boom!
Li Youruo and Chen Ziyi appeared one after the other, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Master!"
"We are here to serve you, Institute Head!"
Vice Hall Masters, as well as various Hall Elders and officials, and numerous disciples, all came forward in succession.
Mere Dharma Manifestation Realm experts amounted to no less than seven people!
Tao Tribulation Realm experts even exceeded a hundred.
Behind these more than a hundred experts were several thousand disciples from Xiaoshanhe Institute, forming another overwhelming display, like a steel torrent.
United, they knelt on one knee behind Xiao Yi.
Despite the moment...
These nearly ten thousand people didn't shout loudly, but their uniform actions and the imposing aura oozing from the silence was terrifying. It was as if invisible hands were severely gripping their throats, leaving Sun Yao and others feeling breathless.

Even fainted outright upon witnessing this scene, rolling their eyes back in complete unconsciousness.
Gulp!
Sun Yao swallowed hard; just a moment ago, he was confident with their numbers and strength, but in the blink of an eye, the roles had been reversed. Looking at the nearly ten thousand powerful figures behind Xiao Yi, especially among the seven great Dharma Manifestation Realm figures, there were beings like Fu Yuan and the Shadow Demon, whom he couldn't fathom.
At that moment, Sun Yao felt as if he had swallowed a mouthful of Coptis, the bitterness overwhelming, "What kind of monster have I provoked?"
Nangong Yi's face was grim as he looked towards Nangong Xiao and others, "We've got no choice but to fight them now!"
"If it weren't for Xiao Yi, how could we have ended up like this?"
"Kill them!"
Under the pressure of impending death and despair, the eyes of the Nangong Family experts turned blood-red, filled with hatred and resentment as they looked at Xiao Yi and the Xiaoshanhe Institute folks behind him.
They were descendants of the Nangong Family, once high and mighty.
But now...
They faced the threat of their family's destruction and personal demise.
In the eyes of the strong ones from the Nangong Family, all of this was because of Xiao Yi, because of Xiaoshanhe Institute!
Hearing the roar and curses of the Nangong Family members, Ye Heng shouted, "Shut up... Have you not realized yet why things have turned out this way? Had you not repeatedly refused to cooperate with us and even attacked Elder Yan and Elder Xue, breaking their arms, and maximally humiliating them, would the Institute Head have targeted you?"
From the beginning to the end, it was always the Nangong Family who were aggressive and domineering.
Nangong Shengtian initially rejected Xiao Yi's offer for cooperation.
When Xiao Yi sent Yan Mingli and Xue Bufan to seek collaboration, they not only refused but also injured them grievously, breaking their arms.
All of this was brought upon the Nangong Family by themselves!
However.
People like Nangong Yi would never see it that way.
Nangong Yi sneered, "What a joke, our Nangong Family is one of the four great noble families. Do you even qualify to work with us? And those Elder Yan and Elder Xue you mentioned, who are they to us? We merely broke their arms; it's their honor. You don't appreciate our mercy, and yet you think about revenge?"
"You..."
Jin Feiyan stopped an angry Ye Heng, shaking her head and laughing, "Senior brother, why bother getting angry with these shameless people? In their eyes, only they are the noblest, and speaking reason to them is just wasting your breath. There's only one way to deal with them!"
"Oh?"
Ye Heng was startled and curious. Having spent a considerable amount of time with Jin Feiyan recently, he had some understanding of this quirky junior sister and asked, "What way?"
With a grin, Jin Feiyan's eyes narrowed slightly, like crescent moons, she spoke slowly and clearly, "That is—to make sure they can never speak again!"
Never speak again?
Ye Heng was shocked, then he understood.
Who would never be able to speak again?
Obviously, a dead person!
Jin Feiyan, smiling cheerfully, looked at Xiao Yi, "Master, am I right?"
"Hmm!"
Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction. Although his disciple Ye Heng possessed the Battle War Holy Body, his personality was much duller than the lively and agile Jin Feiyan. Under the proud gaze of Jin Feiyang, Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Fei Yan, Ye Heng, the two of you can have a contest... This time, whoever kills more people from the Nangong Family will receive a reward from me!"
"A reward?"
Jin Feiyan's eyes gleamed, looking at Ye Heng, she said coyly, "Senior brother, you wouldn't compete with your junior sister, right?"
Ye Heng gave her a glance and snorted, "I will strive for the reward that our master grants with all my might!"
"You... don't you have any sense of being a senior brother? You're my elder; you should be more humble!" Jin Feiyan complained on her tiptoes. After Ye Heng awakened the Battle War Holy Body, he had grown taller and more imposing, and even on her tiptoes, she barely reached his chest.
Ye Heng pressed a hand on her head gently and said, "Sorry, we're equals!"
"You..."
Jin Feiyan, vexed, slapped away Ye Heng's hand from her head, and said angrily, "We'll see who gets the master's reward. It will definitely be mine!"
Ye Heng confidently responded, "You don't stand a chance!"
Jin Feiyan huffed, her dark eyes whirling around.
At that moment...
The Shadow Demon had already waved his hand grandly, "All warriors of the War Hall, follow me to kill!"
Little Lin howled to the sky, "All members of the Punishment Hall, kill!"
"The Skill Transmission Hall..."
"The All Things Hall..."
"The Task Hall..."
Command after command was given.
Disciples of the Xiaoshanhe Institute charged like a fierce army at Sun Yao and his followers.
For a moment.
Only Yan Mingli, Xue Bufan, Zhou Jing, and Lin Bingxin remained by Xiao Yi's side.
Yan Mingli, curious about the competitive Ye Heng and Jin Feiyan, asked, "Who do you think will win between Ye Heng and Little Yanzi?"
Xue Bufan said indifferently, "Little Yanzi is indeed clever, but she has only recently entered the Shentong Realm, whereas Ye Heng is at the Peak of the Divine Ability Realm, and he also possesses the Battle War Holy Body. He is certain to win!"
Zhou Jing nodded in agreement.
Lin Bingxin hesitated a bit and said, "I think Yanzi might win!"
"Hmm?"
Everyone looked at Lin Bingxin with puzzlement.
In their eyes...
Jin Feiyan seemed to have no chance of winning at all!
Xiao Yi, however, smiled and said, "I also think Bing Xin is right. That foolish boy Ye Heng is likely to be at a disadvantage!"
