Qi Yuan Summit, Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain

If what Lin Qifeng had said was true, and Cautionary Hall on Kongyuan Mountain got involved, then he was in for a world of trouble.

"Let's take things one at a time. What's right in front of us now is the Outer Court Grand Competition, isn't it?"

Seeing that the winner had been decided, Yan Zheng stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over.

Chen Bin's lips twitched slightly. He seemed to want to argue back, but couldn't find a reason.

In the end, he simply stood ramrod straight and said nothing.

Lin Qifeng paid no attention to Chen Bin's reaction. He just smiled in Yan Zheng's direction.

"Elder Yan is right. The Outer Court Grand Competition comes first. I've arranged lodging for everyone in the Outer Court. Once we leave, disciples will escort you there."

Lin Qifeng paused, his gaze sweeping across the Inner Sect elders before him, then continued:

"The Outer Court is humble and cannot compare with the peace and elegance of the Inner Sect's peaks. Please forgive us if our hospitality falls short."

The Inner Sect elders from the Three Mountains Four Peaks bowed toward Lin Qifeng, then led the disciples and gatekeepers behind them out of Wenyuan Hall, one after another.

Compared with when they had first entered Wenyuan Hall that day, the Inner Sect elders' attitudes toward Lin Qifeng had changed, more or less.

Who could stand up to that?

It was also from this Outer Court Grand Competition onward that no cultivator below the level of peak elder across the Three Mountains Four Peaks of Empty Mountain
