The others also noticed something amiss. They turned to Elder Tianyue and asked, "Elder, what's wrong with you?"
"I... My spiritual power..." Elder Tianyue managed to speak with difficulty.
Only then did Elder Jiu and the others beside him notice that his spiritual power was rapidly disappearing.
In just about twenty breaths, all his spiritual power had vanished.
Actually, Mo Xuanye could have made his spiritual power disappear in an instant.
But this was the very person who had used the Space - Piercing Sword back then, causing him to be separated from Qin'er for three years.
Letting him die so easily would be too good for him.
So he slowly stripped away his spiritual power, making him experience the feeling of his own spiritual power gradually fading away while being unable to do anything about it.
Seeing this, everyone instinctively took a few steps back, fearing that they might be affected if they got too close.
Elder Tianyue was so angry when he saw this scene.
These people usually couldn't wait to stick to him.
But now that something had happened to him, they all scattered in a rush.
"What are you doing? I've lost my spiritual power. Why aren't you coming to help?" Elder Tianyue's haughty command rang out.
But as soon as he said this, everyone took a few more steps back.
Many of them had already started looking for Mu Wenbin and his wife.
After all, most of them were on Mu Wenbin and his wife's side.
Mo Xuanye and Feng Yuqin were also very good at grasping people's psychology. The formation was set up in a large square outside Mu Wenbin's palace.
The formation wasn't concealed either, so everyone could not only see Mu Wenbin but also that, just like Elder Tianyue, Mu Wenbin and his wife had lost all their spiritual power.
"What on earth is going on? Why is our clan chief trapped?" Someone wanted to step forward to rescue Mu Wenbin.
But how could these people break into the formation set up by Mo Xuanye?
So they started looking for help.
As more and more people gathered around.
Everyone was trying to figure out a way to rescue Mu Wenbin and his wife.
But no matter what methods they used, they couldn't break Mo Xuanye's formation.
Even the formation master of the Phoenix Clan had come.
But they still couldn't get in.
"Who on earth is it? Their formation skills are so high," the formation master of the Phoenix Clan said in shock.
"Elder Qi, can't you do anything?" someone asked.
Elder Qi shook his head. "I can't crack this formation."
"What should we do then? We can't just let the clan chief and his wife stay in there," someone said.
Seeing Mu Wenbin and his wife looking so dazed inside, these people were extremely anxious.
Someone said, "Let's call the young mistress back. Her formation talent is very high. Maybe she can come up with a way."
Nan Mu, who had been unresponsive all this time, suddenly came to her senses when she heard this.
She looked at that person with a cold gaze and said, "No, we can't call your young mistress back. These people will kill Zhu'er."
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
The battle outside was indeed fierce.
Apart from them, many people had already started fighting with Feng Yuqin and the others.
To be precise, the Phoenix Clan had been split into two factions.
One was the faction of the clan elders, and the other was the faction related to the demons and Mu Wenbin.
The clan elder was heartbroken to see that all the dead were members of the Phoenix Clan.
He knew that after this, the Phoenix Clan would surely be severely weakened.
The clan elder had fully activated the clan - protecting formation of the Phoenix Clan.
So now, no one from the outside could get in, and no one from the inside could get out.
Many of Mu Wenbin's people noticed something was wrong and wanted to escape, only to find that they couldn't.
This discovery made the people on Mu Wenbin's side even more panicked.
It was really because Feng Yuqin's combat power was too strong.
Although they didn't know who Feng Yuqin was, her current combat power was simply a one - sided slaughter.
With Feng Yuqin's help, all the demons had been killed.
Since there were no demons in the Phoenix Clan, all the people controlled by the forbidden technique had also been controlled by Feng Yuqin.
Among these people, some had evil intentions, while others were forced. So Feng Yuqin didn't kill them directly.
After all, these were all people painstakingly cultivated by the Phoenix Clan. They couldn't all be killed just because of the demons.
But some were in a more serious condition. They were no longer semi - puppets but had basically lost their humanity.
Even if these people were saved, unless they had strong willpower, they would easily go astray again as long as they encountered any problems in the future.
To put it simply, this forbidden technique was really harmful.
People with evil intentions would really be unable to withstand the slightest bit of disappointment in the future.
If they had been disappointed before, they might still have had a chance to correct themselves.
But for those who had practiced the forbidden technique, even the slightest disappointment in the future could trigger the evil factors in their hearts.
This was almost like an invisible bomb.
Feng Yuqin also told the clan elder about this situation and let him make the decision.
But the clan elder actually let Feng Yuqin make the decision.
"Do you want the Phoenix Clan to be without a clan chief forever?" The clan elder's words and tone were as pitiful as could be.
Feng Yuqin asked, "So are you relying on me?"
"It's not relying on you. This is your Phoenix Clan," the clan elder said righteously. "You don't have any other siblings, and the Phoenix Clan needs a legitimate bloodline to lead it."
"Aren't there still Mu Feiyang?" Feng Yuqin said.
The clan elder was stunned for a moment and then said in disbelief, "There's already one Mu Wenbin. Do you want a second one?"
"Mu Feiyang won't be another Mu Wenbin," Feng Yuqin said. "Mu Wenbin has evil intentions, while Mu Feiyang has a kind heart. Maybe he takes after his mother in this regard."
Speaking of this, Feng Yuqin asked, "Do you know where Mu Feiyang's mother is?"
The clan elder shook his head. "How could I know such small things? I don't participate in many of Mu Wenbin's affairs."
"Go and find Mu Wenbin and his wife," Feng Yuqin said to Elder Si. "Make a list of all the people who have practiced the forbidden technique. I'll deal with them according to the severity of their condition later."
Most importantly, there were still some materials in Mu Wenbin's hands.
She had already taken all the storage rings of the demons before.
She had indeed found some things related to the forbidden technique in them, including some materials for refining the antidote.
The rest were in Mu Wenbin's hands.
Some of Mu Wenbin's people had surrendered, while others had been controlled.
Feng Yuqin had already asked the clan elder to record the names of those who had surrendered. Whether they could really be trusted was a matter for the future.
When those who had surrendered saw Feng Yuqin and the clan elder coming, they all looked at them.
Many people had never seen Feng Yuqin's parents, so they didn't know that Feng Yuqin looked like her parents.
But there were a few elders, especially the grand elder.
People like Elder Tianyue knew.
Last time, Elder Tianyue had actually noticed something about Feng Yuqin's appearance.
But he chose to ignore it.
Since he had sided with Mu Wenbin, no matter whether Feng Yuqin was the legitimate bloodline of the Phoenix Clan or not, she had to die.
So when facing Feng Yuqin, Elder Tianyue had intended to kill her.
Now, some of the other elders who had seen the portraits of Feng Yuqin's parents finally realized.
If you really thought about it, Feng Yuqin was the legitimate bloodline.
So some people with ulterior motives didn't dare to cause trouble anymore.
"It's okay for you to deal with us, but please spare Zhu'er," Nan Mu said immediately when she saw Feng Yuqin walking over.
