Naturally, Lin Fei heard the words of the Golden Core cultivator. However, he had never heard of the Sky Soul Sect. Moreover, even if he had, Lin Fei wouldn't relinquish his spot on the Zombie Pillar. At this moment, everyone else on the Zombie Pillars shared Lin Fei's sentiment, showing no intention of moving.

For a moment, the expression of Soul Hook True Person from the Sky Soul Sect darkened slightly. He hadn't expected that, even after revealing his identity, no one would give up their spot. Soul Hook True Person wasn't someone to be taken lightly, and neither was the Sky Soul Sect.

Seeing that everyone on the nine Zombie Pillars remained indifferent, Soul Hook True Person's gaze scanned them. If no one would willingly give up their place, then he would have to take it by force!

Although Soul Hook True Person was known to be aggressive, he wasn't foolish. Those who could occupy these nine Zombie Pillars and withstand the intense Yin Evil Qi for such a long time were not to be underestimated. Even if he wanted to act rashly, he had to pick the easiest target.

Among the nine, seven were Golden Core True Persons, and the remaining two were Martial Sovereigns. Golden Core True Persons had a myriad of abilities and were challenging to deal with. Who knows what terrifying magic treasures a Golden Core True Person might possess? At least, it wasn't apparent on the surface. As for the Martial Sovereigns, although they had Divine Abilities, some top-tier Martial Sovereigns had an overwhelming aura that was easily detectable.

Soul Hook True Person's gaze swept over Lin Fei and the woman in red. Finally, he settled on the woman in red. In general, women were perceived as weaker, and even among Martial Sovereigns, there were fewer females. Subconsciously, Soul Hook True Person felt that the woman in red might be the weaker of the two. (I don't think women are weaker than men. It's just all in his head.)

"You should leave the Zombie Pillar," he warned. "Otherwise, when I take action, things might get unpleasant."

Having targeted the woman in red, she suddenly opened her eyes. Simultaneously, a Life Wheel gradually emerged behind her.

"Boom!"

As the Life Wheel appeared, two Divine Abilities manifested from it. Concurrently, a rich aura of blood emanated, forming a blood-red phantom shadow behind her. An overwhelming and terrifying pressure descended instantly.

Seeing this phantom, the complexion of Soul Hook True Person changed drastically.

"The Martial King Bloodline!"

Seeing this scene, Soul Hook True Person exclaimed in shock, his face instantly darkening. The Martial King Bloodline! Any martial artist would hesitate to provoke someone possessing it. This is because once someone with the Martial King Bloodline awakens their bloodline, they can cultivate the various Divine Abilities it holds. It's akin to following a set path in cultivation.

These nine Divine Abilities don't need to be chosen but are inherent in the bloodline. Once one manages to cultivate all of them to perfection, they are assured of becoming a Martial King! Typically, such Martial Sovereigns are very powerful, as they inherit the Divine Abilities of former Martial Kings.

"Do you still need me to step down?" The woman in red asked coldly.

"My apologies!" Soul Hook True Person clenched his teeth and gave a polite bow. Anyone with the Martial King Bloodline undoubtedly hailed from a prominent Martial King family – one that he couldn't afford to offend. These Martial King families held special positions and were not entities that major cultivation sects or martial arts factions wanted to provoke. He was no exception. Clearly, the woman in red was a tough nut to crack, and he had to concede.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

So, the woman in red ignored Soul Hook True Person. She didn't mind using her Martial King Bloodline status to get out of troublesome situations. After all, she needed to cultivate her Divine Abilities and didn't want to waste time unnecessarily.

Seeing Soul Hook True Person getting outplayed, the expressions of many in the vicinity became complicated, even somewhat profound. Feeling embarrassed, Soul Hook True Person's face turned gloomier, and an anger brewed within him with nowhere to vent. His gaze shifted to Lin Fei.

"Do you also possess the Martial King Bloodline?" he coldly asked, clearly becoming more agitated.

"No," Lin Fei replied calmly.

"If you're not of the Martial King Bloodline, then why are you still on the Zombie Pillar? Do I need to personally deal with you and knock you down?"

Hearing that Lin Fei wasn't of the Martial King Bloodline, Soul Hook True Person became even bolder, directing all his pent-up anger towards Lin Fei. At this moment, all eyes converged on Lin Fei.

"Soul Hook True Person from the Sky Soul Sect chose a martial artist with the Martial King Bloodline as his first pick. But he faced a setback. It's not easy to provoke someone with the Martial King Bloodline. He lost face but ultimately didn't dare to act against the Martial King Bloodline."

"Now, the second Martial Sovereign he targeted doesn't have the Martial King Bloodline. It seems like Soul Hook True Person is venting all his anger on this second Martial Sovereign. I wonder which sect or faction this second Martial Sovereign belongs to?"

Many were clear about the situation. Soul Hook True Person was now picking on the weaker one. Moreover, after being sternly rebuffed by the lady in red, he was furious. As long as Lin Fei didn't have the Martial King Bloodline, there was nothing for Hook Soul True Person to fear.

"Make me get off?" Lin Fei challenged, "Are you even qualified?"

As his words fell, a tremendous aura suddenly burst forth. Lin Fei did not use his Life Wheel; it wasn't yet powerful enough to suppress any Golden Core True Person. Clearly, if Hook Soul True Person dared to compete for the zombie pillar, he must have some tricks up his sleeve.

Thus, Lin Fei immediately unleashed his Saber Domain!

The Saber Domain instantly enveloped Hook Soul True Person. Lin Fei didn't expand the domain's scope; the smaller the domain, the more terrifying its power.

Within Lin Fei's Saber Domain, fierce flames were burning. Hook Soul True Person's face turned ashen, and his entire body began to tremble.

"Saber... Saber Domain!" He gasped, his face white as a sheet and his expression one of utter shock, yet internally, bitterness surged.

A Saber Domain! He had unexpectedly encountered a Martial Sovereign who had mastered the Saber Domain. His luck seemed to have hit rock bottom. Martial Sovereigns who could grasp the Saber Domain were usually formidable in combat, often surpassing any Divine Ability. Few Golden Core True Persons dared to provoke such a Martial Sovereign.

For an average Martial Sovereign, even if they had a powerful Divine Ability, a Golden Core True Person could still escape if they couldn't win. But against one with a Saber Domain? Escape became a far-fetched dream.

"My apologies," the trembling Hook Soul True Person managed, suppressed by the Saber Domain. He knew that under the Saber Domain's oppression, his magic treasures and spells would be significantly weakened. Even if he felt humiliated, he immediately admitted defeat. There was an underlying feeling that if he didn't, he would undoubtedly die at Lin Fei's hands—possibly in a single strike. This Martial Sovereign seemed even more terrifying than the lady in red with the Martial King Bloodline.

Lin Fei glanced at Hook Soul True Person and withdrew his Saber Domain. He was here to cultivate his Divine Ability and didn't want any disturbances. Now that Hook Soul True Person had admitted his inferiority, there was no need for killing.

Humiliated, Hook Soul True Person couldn't stay any longer. He transformed into a streak of light, quickly leaving Corpse Demon Mountain. However, the crowd's attention wasn't on him but had shifted to Lin Fei.

Saber Domain!

Martial Sovereigns who could comprehend the Saber Domain were indeed rare. Many Golden Core True Persons and other Martial Sovereigns felt a chill in their hearts, categorizing Lin Fei as someone "not to be trifled with." Even the lady in red with the Martial King Bloodline opened her eyes again, a strange glint in them.

Lin Fei ignored the thoughts of others. He continued to sit quietly on the zombie pillar, harnessing the Yin Evil Qi to cultivate the Divine Ability Black Wind Prison. His mastery of the Black Wind Prison was nearing perfection!
