Go to Mingjiao
On the way, Su Xueqing always seemed preoccupied, her expression extremely unnatural.
Xiao Feng followed closely behind, not saying a word.
At the Hall of Supreme Bliss, everyone understood that her mood was unpredictable.
If she became displeased for a moment, she could kill that person.
Xiao Feng wouldn't be the scapegoat; saying nothing was likely the best option.
He looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, not even complaining.
Not long after they started walking, Su Xueqing turned and looked at Xiao Feng: "Are you afraid?"
"Afraid?"
The Ming Cult is a wicked sect from the Upper Realm; those without sufficient strength who go there are very likely to be killed by the people inside.
Seeing Su Xueqing's half-smile, Xiao Feng vaguely guessed that her actions were a test.
"As long as the Holy Maiden is here, why should I be afraid?"
On second thought, if she wanted to kill him, she could probably have done it at the Hall of Supreme Bliss; why bother bringing him on a long journey to the Ming Cult?
Just as expected, seeing Xiao Feng's expression, Su Xueqing burst into laughter: "I like your honesty the most, unlike those who play tricks."
Although everyone in the Hall of Supreme Bliss submitted to her, many secretly had their own agendas deep down.
As long as her strength declined, those people were very likely to turn against her.
On the other hand, Xiao Feng was different; she vaguely felt that Xiao Feng was sincere.
Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the Ming Cult mountain.
Looking up at the tall mountain peak, Su Xueqing showed a difficult expression and sighed: "This day was bound to come. You come up with me; you are not allowed to speak."
Seeing her words becoming increasingly serious, he couldn't help but understand that this journey was filled with intense danger.
Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly, keeping his mouth shut and following closely behind.
In the Ming Cult's Great Hall, hundreds of people stood in unison, completely silent.
On the high platform, a man saw Su Xueqing arrive, transforming into a black shadow and landing beside her: "You finally decided to come back?"
Xiao Feng didn't focus his attention on the two of them but sincerely marveled at the Ming Cult's impressive presence.
"I thought you, Su Mu, had long forgotten me, your daughter."
As a member of the Ming Cult, how could Su Mu forget his daughter?
It was just a shame that he had many things to do, so he could only temporarily set aside familial affection.
"Come up with me."
Su Mu extended his hand, hoping Su Xueqing would follow him onto the high platform and become a prominent figure within the Ming Cult.
Unfortunately, Su Xueqing didn't have that inclination and remained standing beside Xiao Feng.
The Ming Cult members were all bloodthirsty. If she were careless, someone might find an opportunity to kill Xiao Feng.
This was not something she could accept; only by staying here was it the optimal solution.
Seeing Su Xueqing unwilling to go onto the high platform, he somewhat dejectedly rubbed his nose and flew onto the high platform: "Since that's the case, take a look at these young talents and see if there's anyone you fancy."
Inside the Great Hall, many sects introduced their young talents, hoping to catch her eye.
Unfortunately, she didn't even lift her eyes, pretending not to see anything.
Seeing that this large Great Hall was filled with people here for a marriage meeting, Xiao Feng was sincerely surprised: "I never expected that marriage meetings in the Upper Realm would involve hundreds of people; it's truly terrifying."
Although his voice was low, the two were close to each other.
Beside him, Su Xueqing could clearly hear Xiao Feng's words and leaned in close to him: "Don't misunderstand; I am not the dissolute person you see."
She looked at Su Mu again, shaking her head repeatedly: "The people you introduced are not the ones I like. Tell them all to leave."
"What? They are the most promising young talents from the major sects in recent years; their strength is in no way inferior to yours."
If not for his suppression, it was believed that these sects could even easily destroy the Hall of Supreme Bliss.
Seeing that Su Mu only valued their background and strength, Su Xueqing coldly snorted: "I have no interest in them at all."
She didn't even give them a proper look, as if they were air.
Inside the sects, many people's expressions were unpleasant.
They were pursued by many in their respective sects, but here they became garbage in the trash can, not even worthy of an extra glance from Su Xueqing.
Seeing that everyone had opinions, Su Mu flew down from the high platform and landed in front of Su Xueqing: "Don't throw a tantrum. Take a good look; there's definitely someone you'll like."
He mistakenly thought that Su Xueqing not looking at these people meant she held hostility towards him.
Little did he know, she had prepared early, and casually pulled Xiao Feng's wrist: "I already have someone in my heart; these people hold no attraction for me at all."
As soon as she said this, Xiao Feng felt as if he had been targeted by a vicious wolf, his whole body being scanned by many gazes.
Spirit Energy swept over his body without any concealment whatsoever.
Su Mu's face sank, and he looked at Xiao Feng: "Someone with this level of strength actually dares to pursue my daughter? I doubt he even knows how to write the word 'death'."
Turning around, he faced away from them, his tone extremely stern: "Zhu Chen, this boy is in your hands."
When Zhu Chen heard Su Mu's words, his face lit up with joy, and the Spirit Energy within his body gathered in his palms, fiercely striking towards Xiao Feng's head.
Looking at his appearance, it was clear he had no intention of letting him off.
Seeing Zhu Chen getting closer and closer, the Spirit Energy within Xiao Feng was about to erupt, but he saw Su Xueqing beside him glance sideways and lightly strike out with her palm.
"Bang..."
Zhu Chen didn't dare to harm Su Xueqing and was forced back by this strike.
"This... Mid-stage Soul Separation Realm?"
To have such growth in strength in just ten years was indeed astonishing.
On the high platform, Su Mu saw that Zhu Chen was not her match, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "This boy actually made Xueqing take action for him. Is there something special about him?"
He was extremely familiar with his daughter; having high standards was her specialty.
She couldn't even be bothered with the young talents from those sects, yet she took a liking to Xiao Feng, this ordinary person from the Lower Realm. There must be a reason for this.
Seeing that Su Mu was slow to withdraw his command, Su Xueqing stomped forward fiercely, and a ripple of Spirit Energy surged out from within her body.
Around her, those with weaker strength were severely knocked down by this strike.
"Xiao Feng is someone I brought. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on him is my enemy. Don't blame me for showing no mercy."
Zhu Chen looked towards Su Mu, waiting for his next command.
"Why are you looking at me? Didn't you hear what I just said?"
Without withdrawing the command, Zhu Chen was about to continue attacking.
Seeing Su Xueqing standing in front of Xiao Feng, he gritted his teeth forcefully: "Excuse me."
The Spirit Energy within his body surged like a Volcano, heavily attacking towards Xiao Feng.
Su Xueqing worried he would act recklessly, her voice like a mosquito: "Stay where you are and don't move. I can guarantee your safety."
The Ming Cult was their territory. Xiao Feng knew he couldn't act, so he could only agree and obediently stay put.
He formed several seals with his hands in front of him, and the Spirit Energy within his body surged out endlessly, causing even the heavens and earth to change color.
"Heavenly Demon Art? You actually used this cultivation method for this boy?"
