After everyone had left.
The clouds before Qingfeng dispersed, and only then did a figure emerge from within them.
Upon seeing who had arrived, Qingfeng was not surprised. He bowed respectfully and said neither servilely nor arrogantly,
"Greetings, Sage Tongtian!"
Sect Master Tongtian stood high above on the clouds, looking Qingfeng up and down twice. He seemed quite satisfied.
"Qingfeng, you are quite impressive. Your actions before Spirit Mountain deserve praise. You vented the anger of this Sage and the Interception Sect.

"Thank you for thinking so
