19: I'm laying my cards on the table; my sister Lan is an unparalleled powerhouse.

After receiving the Young Master's affirmation, she flickered and disappeared.

Who knows which unlucky bastards are about to get a beating.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Hui Lan headed toward the Qingyun Sect.

Hui Lan's speed was not slow either; in just half a day, they crossed dozens of Sects and arrived at the outskirts of the Qingyun Sect.

There was a city here.

Named "Tianyun City", it was an affiliated city of the Qingyun Sect.

Outside the city, several Disciples were patrolling.

Inside the city, shadows of people moved to and fro, and it was extraordinarily bustling.

The sounds of street vendors hawking their wares were continuous and unending.

"Hui Lan, let's go into this city first to gather some information."

Qin Feng said as he looked at the city.

"Yes, Young Master!"

"While we're out, don't call me Young Master. Call me Xiao Feng!"

"I'll call you Sister Lan, and you'll act as my older sister."

Qin Feng thought for a moment and, on a whim, changed Hui Lan's identity.

When away from home, with so many overpowered freaks out there, it's always good to keep a low profile.

If anything happens, Sister Lan will handle it.

"Young Master, I can't do that. If the Empress finds out, I'm finished."

"If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how will she know?"

"Young Master...!"

"Enough, just do as I say, Sister Lan."

Hui Lan wanted to say something more, but Qin Feng tucked away his smile and became serious.

"Al... Alright, Xiao Feng!"

Hui Lan was still a bit unaccustomed to it; her cheeks flushed slightly when she called him Xiao Feng.

Wasn't this the very name those Empresses had on their lips every day?

She never thought she would be able to call him that too.

"Let's go, Sister Lan, let's enter the city!"

Qin Feng once again put on an innocent and naive appearance, skipping toward the city.

Hui Lan, as always, kept her hands folded over her abdomen and followed closely behind.

"Sister Lan, relax a bit. You're my sister; you can have a slightly more fiery temper."

After running a few steps, Qin Feng noticed Hui Lan was still acting restrained and reminded her.

"I... I'll try!"

Hui Lan gave an awkward smile and put her hands on her hips.

But in just an instant, she put them back.

She wasn't used to it! She wasn't used to it at all!

Habits formed over thousands of years couldn't be changed in a short time.

However, she did lift her head, trying her best to appear a bit more assertive.

"Xiao Feng, run a bit slower."

Hui Lan's voice was much louder as she called out.

"Okay!"

Qin Feng restrained himself quite a bit and slowed his pace.

Then, the two of them headed toward the city entrance like that.

At the gates of Tianyun City, there were more than a dozen Cultivators in white robes collecting entrance fees one by one.

"Stop, pay the entrance fee!"

When Qin Feng and his companion arrived at the city gate, a middle-aged Cultivator barked at them.

The middle-aged Cultivator even had the two large characters for "Qingyun" embroidered on his chest.

It was as if he were deeply afraid others wouldn't know he was a Qingyun Sect Disciple.

"How dare...!"

Hui Lan originally wanted to snap back, but remembering the Young Master wanted to gather information, she changed her tune:

"Speak up boldly, how much is the entrance fee?"

"One hundred Low Grade Crystals per person."

The middle-aged Cultivator held up one finger and said.

The usual entrance fee was only ten Low Grade Crystals.

However, seeing that these two were extraordinary, he thought he could make a killing.

Hui Lan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't speak, directly tossing out two hundred Low Grade Crystals.

"There's also a management fee, one hundred Low Grade Crystals per person."

The middle-aged Cultivator pocketed the Crystals but didn't let them through; instead, he demanded more.

"What management fee? What the hell does that have to do with me!"

"Get out of the way."

Before Hui Lan could speak, Qin Feng said coldly.

Weren't they being treated as fat sheep?

"Little kid, you're not very tall, but you've got quite a temper!"

"This daddy is a member of the Qingyun Sect...!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a vortex of Qi sliced directly across the middle-aged Cultivator's neck.

*Thud!*

With a crisp sound, a bloody head fell to the ground.

No one knew who had made the move, nor did anyone see clearly where that vortex of Qi had come from.

"Ah...!"

"Murder!"

A Cultivator's startled cry rang out at the city gate.

*Swish, swish, swish!*

Dozens of gazes turned toward Hui Lan and Qin Feng.

There were Qingyun Sect Cultivators, commoners entering the city, and practitioners from other Sects.

They all wore expressions of horror.

In less than a second, the other Qingyun Sect Cultivators reacted.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!*

One by one, they drew their swords and surrounded Qin Feng and Hui Lan.

"How dare you! You dare to kill a Cultivator of our Qingyun Sect? Do you seek death?"

"Surrender now and spare yourself the physical pain."

A middle-aged man spoke with a resonant voice and an extraordinary bearing.

Within the territory of the Qingyun Sect, there were always those who lacked foresight.

But the result was always the same: they would obediently wait for death.

"Hehe!"

"I originally wanted to enter the city as an ordinary person, but in return, I was treated like a fat sheep to be slaughtered."

"I'm showing my hand now: my Sister Lan is a peerless powerhouse."

Qin Feng shrugged with a smile, passing the buck to Hui Lan.

Hui Lan rolled her eyes and raised her voice, saying:

"If you don't want to die, get lost."

After saying that, a trace of a Qi vortex overflowed from her body and hovered in mid-air.

A terrifying aura instantly dispersed.

Just a single trace of this aura made the Qingyun Sect Cultivators breathe heavily and feel restless, their bodies stumbling backward rapidly.

"So... so strong!"

"A Wheel Sea Realm expert, or perhaps the Divine Palace Realm?"

A Cultivator, forced back more than ten steps, said with trembling lips.

In his understanding, the Wheel Sea Realm was already matchless.

And the peerless powerhouse the child mentioned was very likely in the Divine Palace Realm.

The young girl before them appeared to be only around sixteen years old, yet she gave the impression of an insurmountable mountain.

"Hmph!"

One Cultivator cold snorted: "Let's go, back to the Sect to find the Young Lord."

They weren't stupid either; knowing they were no match, they retreated angrily.

If they continued to entangle themselves, they risked falling.

However, they wouldn't just let it go like this.

On their own turf, how could they not reclaim their honor?

They would go back to find the Young Lord and return to save face.

"Xiao Feng, let's enter the city."

Hui Lan withdrew the Qi vortex and said with a faint smile.

As for the Qingyun Sect, she didn't care about it at all.

Even if the entire Sect were mobilized, Hui Lan could settle it with a single slap.

Hui Lan had struck just now entirely because that blind middle-aged Cultivator had uttered the words "this daddy."

The Son of the Emperor must not be insulted!

Especially not with those two words!

"Let's go!"

Under the astonished gazes of the passersby, Qin Feng and his companion strolled into Tianyun City.

"These two killed a Qingyun Sect Cultivator and still dare to enter the city."

"Are they out of their minds?"

"Didn't you hear? That Qingyun Sect Cultivator went to get reinforcements."

"Still, the Qingyun Sect was indeed a bit excessive, shouting and yelling at a child."

After Qin Feng and his companion left, the scene was in an uproar.

"This is great; no one is collecting the entrance fee anymore."

"Saved ten Crystals."

"That's right, hurry into the city! I still have a batch of Medicinal Herbs that I haven't finished selling!"

One by one, they seized this gap and hurriedly swarmed into Tianyun City.

One old man, pushing a large cart of low-priced Medicinal Herbs, charged forward and ran into the city.
