Chapter 320: Hueng Against Min

Outside…

Hueng had just opened his mouth to speak

When….

Bam!

The massive gates of the Chong estate burst open.

A wave of aura exploded outward. Dust and gravel lifted into the air. From within, figures poured out like ants from a broken nest.

And at the very front….

Min Chong.

“Long time no see, Hueng,” Min Chong said with a fake smile, hands clasped behind his back. “What brings you here all of a sudden?”

Behind him stood Tian Shin and Yuhe Feng.

And behind them…

A sea of cultivators. Though only three families stood on that side, the number of capable experts was no less than the Five Spirit Families.

The Five Spirit Families’ formation wavered slightly. Shock flickered across several faces.

They had always believed they were superior in numbers. It was no easy task to nurture even one Martial Sovereign.

So how…

How were there so many with just three families?

Hueng stepped forward. Though tension crept in his heart, he didn’t let any sign reveal. “Cut the crap, Min Chong,” he said, voice booming across the arena. “You know exactly what you people did. Return our Young Master.” His eyes burned with killing intent. “If you don’t want to end this badly.”

Min Chong laughed mockingly. “Young Master?” he repeated with exaggerated surprise. “You mean that brat?” He tilted his head slightly. “Yes, we have him. But what right do you have to claim that he belongs to you?” His tone was casual. As if abducting Logan were nothing more than picking up a stray dog.

Hueng’s eyes did not waver. “Young Master gets to decide who he wants to side with. You have no right to force him.”

Min Chong threw his head back and laughed.

“Don’t make me laugh, Hueng. What are we now? Servants of justice? Here, whoever holds the power makes the laws.” His lips curled mockingly. “Whoever has that boy gets to decide what to do with him. Now instead of demanding him… why don’t you hand over the blood essence as well? That way, we can save some bloodshed. Don’t you think?”

A ripple of shock ran through the Five Spirit Families.

Blood essence!

’So he hasn’t just captured Logan to harm him. He wants to use his ability.’ All the family elders had this same thought at this moment.

“You think I am ever going to do that?!” Hueng roared. His aura surged instinctively, cracking the ground beneath his feet.

Min’s smile faded into something colder. “Then you leave me no choice, Hueng. I thought you would be the wise one here. The rational one.” His gaze sharpened. “But perhaps old age is finally getting to you.”

A low hum began to vibrate through the air.

At first, it was faint…

Then it grew. Dust on the ground trembled.

Loose pebbles lifted into the air.

Min Chong’s aura was flaring. A crushing, oppressive force rolled outward like a tsunami.

Martial Saints and below at the rear instinctively staggered back, faces pale. Even Martial Emperors narrowed their eyes in strain.

“Don’t blame me for what’s about to happen, Hueng,” Min said calmly.

But inside….

He was pleased. Everything was unfolding exactly as he had calculated. From the moment he abducted Logan, he knew the Five Spirit Families would come. That was precisely why he had summoned Tian Shin and Yuhe Feng with all their strongest family members.

He already had Logan. But Logan alone was not enough. He possessed monstrous talent, yes. But without the blood essence—

Without awakening the Golden Dragon’s legacy….

He was merely a promising genius.

With the blood essence, however…

Logan would become something terrifying.

And once awakened… Min Chong would control him. A weapon capable of crushing both Spirit and Evil alike.

Hueng felt the escalating pressure and gritted his teeth. ’It looks like… we have no other choice. Retreating now would shatter morale.’

Handing over the blood essence was impossible.

And Logan…

He could not abandon him.

Hueng’s eyes hardened. “Fine,” he muttered under his breath.

His aura erupted fully.

BOOM….

All behind the two leaders straightened instantly. The air became thick enough to choke.

This was no longer a negotiation. This was war.

Min Chong’s expression sharpened. Without further words… He raised his right hand slowly.

Spiritual energy condensed into his palm at a terrifying speed. The surrounding air twisted violently, forming spiraling currents. White-gold light began to form, humming with destructive power.

“Mountain Splitting Heavenly Laser!”His shout thundered across the estate. An energy beam exploded forward as he thrust his palm forward without any hesitation. It tore through the air, leaving behind a warped trail of distortion.

“Absolute Barrier!” Hueng shouted.

A vast shield of condensed spiritual energy materialized before him, shimmering like crystalline sky.

Everyone’s breath caught in their throats. The cultivators from the spirit families could feel it. The approaching destruction…

Then…. It happened.

The energy beam struck.

BOOOOOOM!

The collision detonated like a collapsing star.

Shockwaves blasted outward in every direction. Smoke and debris erupted violently, swallowing the area.

All below martial emperors were hurled backward. Several Martial Emperors slid dozens of meters across the ground. Trees behind the five spirit family members disintegrated instantly.

For a moment…

No one could see anything. Only the roar of energy and the collapse of stone echoed.

When the smoke thinned…

Hueng stood firm. His barrier was fractured, cracks webbing across its surface…

But intact.

Min Chong’s eyes narrowed. Hueng’s strength had not diminished with age.

The two locked gazes across the ruined ground.

Between them…

A crater hundreds of meters wide smoldered.

The mere aftershock of their first exchange had reshaped the land.

That’s what martial sovereigns were.

Behind Min Chong, Tian Shin stepped forward slightly, aura surging subtly. Yuhe Feng’s killing intent leaked uncontrollably.

Behind Hueng, the other Spirit Sovereigns released their pressure in response.

Eleven pillars of energy shot into the sky.

In return….

Twelve dark pillars rose from the Evil Spirit’s side.

Clouds spiraled violently in the sky. Lightning flashed between the two forces.
