The first bird to stick out gets shot

As these people got closer and closer, Xiao Feng took a small jade bottle from his clothes and placed it in front of them.

"I originally didn't want to be your enemy, and I believe you don't want to spend too much energy on me. I'll exchange a Medicinal Pill for our departure."

He poured out the Medicinal Pill in front of everyone and placed it before those people, as if wanting them to come forward and take their Medicinal Pill.

These people looked at the Medicinal Pill Xiao Feng actually held in his hand, their brows slightly furrowed, not believing he had such intentions at all.

Soon, one of them pointed at the Medicinal Pill in his hand: "You didn't tamper with the Medicinal Pill, did you?"

Before he could respond, Fire Sect Ming sneered: "As long as you eat it, your lives will be in his hands."

When the people present heard his voice, they were stunned on the spot for a moment, and no one dared to go up and take their Medicinal Pill.

Xiao Feng had already anticipated someone causing trouble, so he casually grabbed one and put it in his mouth: "This Medicinal Pill can relieve your fatigue; it's a low-grade Medicinal Pill."

Since he ate one in front of everyone, some people from small Sects bravely stepped forward, took one, and put it in their mouths.

Others watched him consume it directly, their faces filled with nervousness as they looked at this person, as if waiting to see if anything would happen to him.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, that person's eyes opened again, his face filled with ecstasy: "Your Medicinal Pill can actually restore Spirit Energy?"

Xiao Feng shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "I took one in front of you all; could it be that you still don't believe me?"

Since one person had taken the Medicinal Pill, the others naturally believed that Xiao Feng had no intention of harming them, and they all walked up to him to receive their Medicinal Pills.

It didn't take long before everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, allowing the medicinal effect to take hold in their bodies.

Fire Sect Ming looked at these people actually taking the Medicinal Pills, his face grim as he gritted his teeth: "What a bunch of pigs, they can even swallow this kind of Medicinal Pill."

Just then, a Fire Flame Sect Disciple came up to Xiao Feng, as if wanting to get a Medicinal Pill from his hand.

Unfortunately, he and the Flame Sect had reached an irreconcilable point; how could he possibly put the Medicinal Pills in their hands?

Xiao Feng sneered, pointing in Fire Sect Ming's direction: "If you need Medicinal Pills, I suggest you find him; only he can get Medicinal Pills from me."

Fire Sect Ming looked at Xiao Feng pointing at him, his face filled with anger, and slapped the tree trunk fiercely: "Don't push your luck too far!"

Just then, the people who had just refined the Medicinal Pills stood up one after another, walking towards Xiao Feng with smiles on their faces.

Just moments ago, they were opponents, but now they were surprisingly calling each other brothers and pouring out their hearts.

One of them leaned towards Xiao Feng, pointing at the pond ahead: "There's a water spirit pearl in there. If Brother doesn't want that water spirit pearl, it's best not to stay here."

Everyone nodded: "Yes, if the water spirit pearl appears later, we'll definitely fight to the death for it. Accidentally injuring Brother wouldn't be good for anyone."

Xiao Feng looked at them seriously considering him and burst into laughter: "I'll give it serious thought."

He understood that these people were calling him brother simply because he had Medicinal Pills in his hand.

Just then, a huge change occurred at the pond.

A vortex inexplicably appeared in the middle of the pond, as if something was about to emerge from the bottom.

Disciples from other Sects watched this scene and quickly returned to the side of the pond, afraid their movements were too slow.

Just then, Fire Sect Ming gave his Disciples a look, and they unintentionally moved to the side of the pond.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the pond, and they didn't notice that the Flame Sect's Disciples had already come up behind them.

By the time they reacted, the Fire Flame Sect Disciple had already attacked, slapping them fiercely and seriously injuring many, causing them to lose the ability to compete.

The Disciples from other Sects felt the injuries in their bodies, their faces turning terribly grim. They looked at Fire Sect Ming: "Isn't your Flame Sect a bit too overbearing?"

"If the strong cultivators in our Sects knew you attacked us for the water spirit pearl, your Flame Sect would surely not survive."

Fire Sect Ming listened to their voices and sneered: "I naturally know, so... I never intended to let you leave here alive."

As soon as he said this, many Disciples from various Sects felt a surge of anger.

Although the Flame Sect had some strength, they hadn't reached the point of dominating everything.

As long as the Disciples from the Sects returned to their Sects, the strong cultivators within would definitely take action.

Just then, Xiao Feng came up to them, a faint smile on his face: "You all saw it, right? His fox tail is showing."

Fire Sect Ming had been constantly instigating these people to fight just now to consume the Spirit Energy within their bodies.

As long as their Spirit Energy was greatly depleted, the water spirit pearl would naturally belong to the Flame Sect.

Hearing Xiao Feng's voice, the crowd gritted their teeth: "Young Friend Xiao Feng, we know we were wrong just now. What should we do now?"

Currently, many of them had injuries within their bodies.

With such physical condition, they were definitely no match for Fire Sect Ming, and it was even possible they could be killed by Fire Sect Ming.

Since that was the case, Xiao Feng could only settle for the next best thing, glancing at the Disciples from those Sects: "All the uninjured Disciples, let's bury the hatchet and temporarily form an alliance to kill them."

The Disciples from these Sects exchanged glances and all focused their gazes on Fire Sect Ming, as if wanting to kill Fire Sect Ming first.

Just then, the water spirit pearl floated in the air above the pond, emitting a faint white light.

Fire Sect Ming looked at the water spirit pearl with greed, stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and shot out like a cannonball, grasping the water spirit pearl in his hand.

Xiao Feng watched Fire Sect Ming get his hands on the water spirit pearl, his face serious: "Hurry and stop him, otherwise if he leaves, we might be defeated one by one."

Possessing the water spirit pearl meant possessing powerful water-based techniques, and no one knew what those techniques were.

It didn't take long before the people from these Sects surrounded the Fire Flame Sect Disciples, making it impossible for them to leave.

Originally, they thought that by stopping the Fire Flame Sect Disciple, Fire Sect Ming would surely come back to save them.

However, they underestimated Fire Sect Ming's character.

He sneered at the Disciples from these Sects: "Since you want to kill them, then I won't stay and accompany you."

With these words, Fire Sect Ming fled outwards, as if wanting to leave here with the water spirit pearl.

However, before he had taken many steps, Xiao Feng appeared in front of him out of thin air, firmly blocking his path.
