Once on the stage, life and death will be decided

Therefore, even though a Golden Talent is good, it still depends on who it is in front of.

In front of truly peerless powerhouses, it’s nothing.

“Hmph, with just one sentence, you want me to expel Xue’er from the Heaven Cloud Sect. Since you said you’re not joking, fine, then I’ll ask you, what exactly is the reason? If you can’t give a satisfactory explanation, don’t blame me for being impolite to you.”

Wu Yun was still very angry.

Murong Xue was the most outstanding Disciple he had ever had in his life.

Others were praising her, but this Zhuge Qing was good, he even wanted him to sever ties with Murong Xue.

In his opinion, Zhuge Qing was just jealous that his Heaven Cloud Sect had such an outstanding Disciple.

“To tell you the truth, she offended someone she shouldn’t have. The Karma she carries might harm your entire Heaven Cloud Sect,” Zhuge Qing said with a serious expression.

“Hahahahaha.”

But upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Wu Yun burst into laughter.

“Offended someone she shouldn’t have?”

“Who could Xue’er, at such a young age, possibly offend?”

“Besides, with my Heaven Cloud Sect here, who can do anything to her?”

“I’m telling you, without exaggeration, even people from a Holy Land would not be so powerful as to make my Heaven Cloud Sect unable to afford to offend them.”

“Alright, alright, alright, I hope you remember what you said today. In any case, I’ve already warned you. Whether you believe it or not is your business. You can bear the consequences yourselves.”

Zhuge Qing’s expression was also very unpleasant. It was only out of consideration for the many years of friendship between Wan Dao Mountain and the Heaven Cloud Sect that he offered this reminder.

Anyway, he had already done his utmost, and there was no need to say anything more.

Originally, this was none of his business.

After saying that.

Zhuge Qing took the Grand Elder and prepared to leave.

“Wait.”

Behind him, Wu Yun’s shout came again.

Zhuge Qing turned his head to look at him.

“My Heaven Cloud Sect’s foundation, having developed to this day, is not something your small Wan Dao Mountain can imagine. Regardless of your intentions, the affairs of my Heaven Cloud Sect are not for your Wan Dao Mountain to meddle in.”

“As for the matter of repairing the Formation, you won’t need to trouble Wan Dao Mountain in the future.”

After saying that.

Wu Yun snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves, leaving directly.

“Alright, alright, alright…”

Zhuge Qing gritted his teeth in anger. Wu Yun’s words were very clear: because of this matter, he was completely severing ties with Wan Dao Mountain.

He had genuinely offered a kind reminder, yet he was resented for it.

“I’d like to see if you can still be as unyielding as you were just now when you truly offend that Senior.”

With an angry snort, Zhuge Qing likewise flung his robe sleeves in anger and left with the Grand Elder.

“Alas, Sect Master, this matter…”

In mid-air, the Grand Elder shook his head and sighed, actually not wanting to see this outcome. He couldn’t help but ask, “Actually, why didn’t you explain the matter of Senior Zhong Qing to Wu Yun clearly, to prove that what you said was not false?”

Zhuge Qing was amused by the Grand Elder’s question.

“Why should I explain to him, and why should I prove anything in front of him?”

“It’s not my Wan Dao Mountain’s business, and I gain no benefit, so what does it have to do with me?”

“Not to mention, saying too much also carries the risk of offending that Senior, it’s a thankless task!”

“Moreover, we can inquire about the matters in Fengtian City, is it difficult for the Heaven Cloud Sect to know? It’s simply that they are too arrogant, don’t take it to heart, and are too lazy to inquire!”

“The Sect Master’s thinking is indeed comprehensive.”

The Grand Elder nodded, convinced.

“I only hope that when that day truly comes, the Heaven Cloud Sect will be a bit more sensible.”

Zhuge Qing looked back at the gradually blurring Heaven Cloud Sect, shook his head, and then accelerated his pace, rushing back to Wan Dao Mountain.

Fengtian City.

Lin Family.

Zhong Qing was lying on a reclining chair, while Lin Feng was Cultivating Mystic Skills next to him.

Mystic Skills.

As the name suggests, these are the skills of a Cultivator, also divided into different Ranks, just like Cultivation Technique Ranks.

And in actual combat, possessing more Advanced Mystic Skills often allows one to gain an advantage.

Of course, Cultivating Mystic Skills also has a threshold.

The more Advanced the Mystic Skill, the higher the threshold.

With Lin Feng’s current Chen Xuan Realm strength, he barely met the threshold to Cultivate the lowest Rank Mystic Skill in Zhong Qing’s possession.

Of course.

In addition to Mystic Skills, Zhong Qing actually gave Lin Feng many defensive items.

For example, wood carvings.

Whether they were for automatic protection or for activating in combat, Zhong Qing gave him a whole sackful.

Putting aside their Revered Master-Disciple relationship, Lin Feng was still his experience baby!

So Zhong Qing could not tolerate Lin Feng making any mistakes.

Time flew by.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost time for Lin Feng to go to the Heaven Cloud Sect.

Zhong Qing took Lin Feng to bid farewell to the Lin Family members and then embarked on the journey to the Heaven Cloud Sect.

On the day of the agreed challenge, the two finally arrived at the foot of Heaven Cloud Sect Mountain.

“You are Lin Feng?”

“Here to challenge the Saintess today?”

At the mountain gate, a Heaven Cloud Sect Steward was already waiting. He glanced at Zhong Qing, then sneered, “I didn’t expect you to actually have the guts to come and die.”

“What did you say?”

Zhong Qing frowned, his cold gaze directed at the Steward.

The Steward, swept by Zhong Qing’s gaze, instinctively took two steps back in surprise.

But he showed no fear, instead, he sneered, “What, do you still want to lay hands on me?”

“If I’m not mistaken, you are this kid’s Revered Master who once annihilated a Moon Profound Realm Middle Stage Yao Beast, right? While I don’t deny you have some strength, don’t forget this is the Heaven Cloud Sect. Keep your attitude in check.”

“Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.”

But no sooner had he finished speaking.

Zhong Qing, without a word, directly slapped him.

“What, you actually, really dare to attack me???”

“This is the Heaven Cloud Sect, are you tired of living!!!”

“Stop it… Ah… Ah…”

Under his series of terrified and incredulous gazes, Zhong Qing directly slapped him into a pulp.

A huge sonic boom directly spread throughout the entire mountain gate.

“What?”

“He actually killed Steward Fang right at the entrance of my Heaven Cloud Sect!”

This scene immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Everyone exclaimed in shock, never before had anyone dared to be so bold as to kill someone at the entrance of the Heaven Cloud Sect.

“Heaven Cloud Sect, is there no one truly in charge who will come out?”

However, facing these people’s hostile gazes, Zhong Qing showed no fear. Instead, he looked up at the Heaven Cloud Sect, and a rolling thunderous sound emanated from him.

“How dare you cause trouble in my Heaven Cloud Sect.”

In just a moment, Sect Master Wu Yun, accompanied by several old men, stepped out from within the Sect, surrounding Zhong Qing and Lin Feng.

“I need an explanation.”

Wu Yun glanced at the Steward who had been slapped into a pulp, his face grim, and stared at Zhong Qing, asking in a deep voice.

“Your Heaven Cloud Sect failed to entertain guests properly, and instead sent a Star Profound Realm ant to babble incessantly and act presumptuously in front of me, so I simply helped your Sect clean house,” Zhong Qing said with a cold smile, “So, is there any problem?”

“What a glib tongue. You killed someone and yet you twist it into something beautiful. I think you’re seeking death.”

Beside Wu Yun, an Elder’s expression darkened, and he raised his hand to attack Zhong Qing.

However, at the last moment, he was stopped by Wu Yun.

“Sect Master, why are you stopping me?” the Elder asked, puzzled.

“No one who dares to cause trouble within my Heaven Cloud Sect has ever left alive. Since he is destined to die, why bother with this moment?”

Wu Yun narrowed his eyes and said, “It’s more that I see Xue’er’s thoughts, she always resents this former engagement as a blemish. If I cannot let her remove this blemish herself, I fear it will affect her future state of mind.”

“So, let Xue’er remove this blemish herself, and it won’t be too late to deal with that kid afterwards.”

“Sect Master is wise.”

The Elder suddenly understood.

Murong Xue was their precious treasure now. They would not allow even the slightest obstacle on her path forward.

“Your Excellency, let’s get to the point,” Wu Yun said slowly, narrowing his eyes. “You two are here for that engagement, to challenge Xue’er, right?”

“I came straight to the point, but who knew you would first send out a dog to waste time,” Zhong Qing sneered.

A hint of imperceptible killing intent flashed in Wu Yun’s eyes, then he turned and said, “In that case, please follow me.”

A moment later.

Zhong Qing led Lin Feng into the Heaven Cloud Sect and arrived at a place called the Life-Death Arena.

Standing at the head.

Wu Yun looked down at Zhong Qing and his Disciple from above.

“In my Heaven Cloud Sect, there is never any talk of sparring. Since you want to challenge, it will be a fight to the death.”

Wu Yun said coldly, “So, once the battle begins, no matter what happens, no one else is allowed to interfere. Are you willing?”

“Good.”

Zhong Qing agreed for Lin Feng without even thinking.

As he spoke, Zhong Qing turned his head to look at Lin Feng beside him, and said softly, “Disciple, you heard it. Since it’s a challenge, it’s a fight to the death. They’ve clearly indicated they don’t intend for you to leave alive.”

“Yes, Revered Master, I understand.”

Lin Feng was a person who valued affection. Although he had long since broken ties with the Murong Family, he had never resorted to hostility.

He was still considering how to deal with Murong Xue in the end.

However, he hadn’t expected that they had already intended to take his life through the rules.

Since that was the case, he no longer needed to hold back.
