16: Taoist Bai Weng, die!

When passing by Qinghe Village, Qin Feng glanced at his home.

Broken eaves and walls, a patch of black ash left after the fire, and the remaining unburnt debris were also smashed into ruins.

At the previous entrance of the courtyard, stood a middle-aged man in his thirties with a Flying Sword on his back.

He stood motionless, seemingly waiting for something.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes at the middle-aged man, a strong Evil Qi emanating from him.

After confirming there was no trace of his sister inside, Qin Feng asked the man in a deep voice:

"Brother, was this your doing?"

The man was about to get angry, but upon sensing the considerable spiritual power fluctuations from Qin Feng, he instantly quieted down and explained:

"This is a misunderstanding. My Revered Master, Daoist Bai Weng, ordered me to wait here for Immortal Venerable Qin to return and compensate him with a thousand Spirit Stones."

"I am Qin Feng. Go back and tell your Master that my parents' memorial tablets and three thousand Spirit Stones were inside. If he doesn't want to die, he should obediently bring five thousand Spirit Stones, otherwise, I will pursue this to the death!"

"You... aren't you a demonic Cultivator...?"

The middle-aged man looked at Qin Feng with a face full of horror, his feet began to move uncontrollably to the side, and then he ran off towards Qinghe Ward in a hurry.

Qin Feng bothered not to explain much, following the middle-aged man unhurriedly, intending to personally demand the Spirit Stones.

Halfway there, Qin Feng felt something was wrong.

Along the way, he could see a Cultivator's corpse every three to five steps, which was not how it used to be!

"Could it be that something big has happened?"

Qin Feng secretly wondered, following the person ahead into the market, then through a few alleys, and finally into a spacious mansion.

"Ma... Master, someone's here!"

The middle-aged man stumbled into the courtyard, shouting loudly, and immediately five or six agile figures came out.

The mansion was filled with the scent of incense, and a moment later, Elder Bai Weng walked out of the main hall.

Seeing Qin Feng's overwhelming Evil Qi, he did not get angry, but instead cupped his hands in a bow, and only spoke after completing the entire ritual:

"Fellow Daoist, you said you are Qin Feng?"

"You burned my home, and you still don't know who I am?"

Qin Feng at this moment no longer cared about politeness, directly casting the Qi Observation Spell to examine Elder Bai Weng's foundation.

A Qi Refining sixth-layer wood-attribute Cultivator.

Though not as easy as killing a dog, taking him down within five moves is not a problem!

Sensing Qin Feng's familiar gaze, Elder Bai Weng's pupils instantly showed surprise.

He had felt this kind of gaze before, in front of that Devil Head's Immortal Cave!

Elder Bai Weng instantly realized he had chosen the wrong path, and this one seemed even more troublesome than that Devil Head!

Upon realizing this, Elder Bai Weng immediately gave a series of apologetic smiles and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, please don't be offended, this truly is a misunderstanding. I will compensate you with five thousand Spirit Stones right now."

With that, he pulled a qiankun bag from his waist, held it in his hand, put Spirit Stones into it, and then threw it to Qin Feng.

Clatter!

Qin Feng did not reach out to catch it, but instead let the Spirit Stone bag fall to the ground, then pointed to a young woman next to him.

"You take out the Spirit Stones inside!"

"...Okay!"

The woman trembled all over, immediately picked up the bag and took out the Spirit Stones, exactly five thousand, no more, no less.

It seems I overreacted.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, the woman suddenly trembled violently and foamed at the mouth.

"..."

The scene instantly fell silent, Qin Feng and Daoist Bai Weng looked at each other.

After a moment of silence.

Qin Feng directly held up the Scarlet Blaze Flying Sword with one hand and formed the Golden Blade Technique with the other.

Just the opening moves were extraordinary, and Daoist Bai Weng's expression instantly changed dramatically as he said:

"Fellow Daoist! This is within Qinghe Town, Cultivators are not allowed to fight!"

"Don't worry, I won't cause too much commotion."

Qin Feng's face turned cold, and both the Scarlet Blaze Flying Sword and the Golden Blade Technique simultaneously attacked the opponent.

Daoist Bai Weng's eyes showed fear, and he immediately cast the Earth Wall Spell to block in front of him, while also slapping a Shen Xing Talisman onto himself, intending to slip away.

"There's no way I'll let you get away!"

Qin Feng stared coldly at him, the hand that had been holding the Flying Sword had, at some unknown point, formed a hand seal.

Daoist Bai Weng's eyes hardened, and he took out another talisman, yellowish in color and emanating golden light, into which he injected spiritual power.

Buzz!

In an instant, a huge transparent golden bell enveloped Daoist Bai Weng, directly blocking the Scarlet Blaze Flying Sword and the Golden Blade.

"Golden Bell Talisman Treasure? If you had just obediently compensated me with Spirit Stones, you wouldn't have had to waste such a good item!"

Qin Feng's eyes showed regret, and he once again cast the Golden Blade Technique to strike at the golden bell, while the Scarlet Blaze Flying Sword also tirelessly hacked at the golden bell.

"Even a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator wouldn't be able to break my Golden Bell Talisman Treasure, Fellow Daoist Qin, you might as well save your energy."

Daoist Bai Weng's expression was disdainful, and he was about to lift his leg to leave.

Suddenly, his face changed, only to find that his feet were, at some unknown point, entangled by tough vines.

This was the Wood Vine Spell, a new Spell Qin Feng had learned.

"Master!"

Seeing Daoist Bai Weng at a disadvantage, the more than ten Disciples nearby all had red eyes, and one after another took out their Flying Swords and talismans, intending to attack Qin Feng.

Just at this moment, a large amount of black mist suddenly permeated the courtyard, and at the same time, an extremely overbearing voice sounded:

"Move again, and I'll suck you dry!"

Tie Zhu's eyes glowed purple, and his disheveled appearance was quite terrifying.

The young Disciples, who were already afraid of him, instantly dared not move.

"You... you're with them!"

Seeing Tie Zhu appear, Daoist Bai Weng's eyes immediately showed fear.

Tie Zhu glanced at Daoist Bai Weng's golden bell shield, and then at the constantly attacking Scarlet Blaze Flying Sword.

"Feng Ge, let me help you, you're too slow like this."

As his voice fell, Tie Zhu had already pounced on Daoist Bai Weng like a wild wolf, on all fours.

Bang bang bang!

Black mist permeated around the golden bell shield, and only dense knocking sounds could be heard, as if countless claws were scratching an iron pot.

In just a moment, a crack appeared on the golden bell shield.

In Daoist Bai Weng's view, it wasn't the golden bell shield that cracked, but his heart, and he immediately shouted:

"Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoists, how about we stop here!"

Tie Zhu did not respond, his attack frequency increased, and Qin Feng also silently controlled his Flying Sword to increase the force of his attack.

Crack!

The golden bell shield shattered, returning to its Talisman Treasure form.

Daoist Bai Weng's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly formed hand seals, wanting to cast a Spell to resist, but the Scarlet Blaze Flying Sword directly pierced through his chest.

"Run!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and at this moment, they no longer cared about Tie Zhu's deterrence, running faster than the last.

Qin Feng walked forward and skillfully began to search the corpse, while Tie Zhu went into the house to loot.

After sweeping away all valuable items, Tie Zhu asked worriedly:

"Feng Ge, you know about your family's matter, right?"

"That old fellow and I are even now."

Tie Zhu then said with a solemn face: "When I came down the mountain just now, I went to look for food along the way and saw many Cultivators dead in the mountains. I don't know what happened during this time."

"You go back first, I'll go inquire and see what happened."

"Okay!"

After leaving the alley, Qin Feng immediately walked towards Yanyu Tower.

The recent chaos near Qinghe Ward must mean something big has happened!

Yanyu Tower must know the reason!
