Zhou Qi's footsteps paused, his body stagnated, and he slowly turned his head to look.
The one who spoke was a young disciple of Earth Sword Peak. He was wearing a light cyan peak uniform. His cultivation level was low at Nascent Soul First Layer. His aura was unstable and his foundation was shallow. In the eyes of Zhou Qi, he was just a guy who could be easily slapped to death.
The young disciple stepped forward, his eyes locked on Zhou Qi, with undisguised hostility and scrutiny in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "You are the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple who joined the sect last year, Zhou Qi?"
Zhou Qi's expression remained unchanged and he responded calmly, "Yes, I am right next to you."
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, stared closely at Zhou Qi's eyes, and asked again in a cold tone, word by word. "Do you recognize Wang Ding?!"
After hearing these words, Zhou Qi frowned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a deep look at the disciple in front of him, and his heart suddenly became clear.
Trouble is coming.
Wang Ding is the grandson of the sixth elder Earth Sword Peak who first boarded Immortal Path Minor World and attacked him but was eventually killed on the spot.
Because there are so many people making trouble for me, I have long forgotten this little trouble.
Now, a year later, the old accounts have been uncovered again.
Zhou Qi spoke calmly and admitted frankly, "Of course we know each other. When I logged into Immortal Path Minor World, Wang Ding provoked me first and was beheaded on the spot!"
Hearing this, the young disciple stiffened slightly.
Everyone around looked at each other and figured out the reason.
The young disciple took a deep breath of cold air and suppressed the raging anger in his chest. The originally dull eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
"Okay... As long as it's you."
He slowly uttered a sentence, with a cold and strange tone. After the words fell, he suddenly stepped aside to get out of the way, raised his hand to make a letting go gesture, and said in a deep voice:
"Since we are old friends, please come in quickly!"
Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes slightly but did not get angry on the spot.
He had a clear mind at the moment. He came here just to get Spirit Transformation Cultivation Technique. There was no need to cause unreasonable disputes at the mountain gate.
Besides, this place is the boundary of Earth Sword Peak, so it is not suitable to cause trouble.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Qi stopped fussing, turned around without any expression, stepped into the ancient and heavy Earth Sword Peak mountain gate, and walked calmly towards the back mountain.
At the gate of the mountain, the young disciple blocking the road looked at Zhou Qi's tall and straight back as he walked away, the gloom in his eyes lingering for a long time.
This person's name is Wang Man, and he is the cousin of Wang Ding who climbed into Immortal Path Minor World and was killed by Zhou Qi a year ago.
At that time, Small World's selection was over, and the news of Wang Ding's death soon spread back to Earth Sword Peak.
Wang Man's grandfather, Earth Sword Peak Sixth Elder Wang Shouyi, knew about this immediately.
At that time, Wang Shouyi was filled with grief and anger, and wanted to seek justice for his beloved grandson, but the situation at that time was complicated.
At that time, many big guys wanted to trouble Zhou Qi. Myriad Dao Peak Master Liu Yanzheng and Enforcement Hall's great elder Song Taiming even joined forces to punish Zhou Qi.
Wang Shouyi is just an ordinary elder from Earth Sword Peak, and he is not qualified to hold accountable or take revenge.
He originally thought that under the pressure of Liu Yanzheng and Song Taiming, Zhou Qi would definitely die.
But two months later, he still couldn't wait for the news of Zhou Qi's execution. Instead, he heard about shocking changes one after another.
Not only was Zhou Qi safe and sound, but he rose against the trend and became the disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak Fu Linyuan.
What happened next shocked the entire sect and completely eliminated all thoughts of revenge for Wang Shouyi.
Fu Linyuan protects his disciples to the best of his ability. For Zhou Qi, he took a forceful attack and slapped Song Taiming so hard that he vomited blood and was seriously injured!
After that, he went to Myriad Dao Peak, and first he directly demolished the peak gate that had been passed down for thousands of years, and then slapped Liu Yanzheng into the mud.
After this incident, Wang Shouyi put away his hatred and did not dare to act rashly again.
Wang Man looked at the figure of Zhou Qi walking away, the hostility in his eyes slowly subsided, then he excused himself to the leading disciple for a while and then quickly flew towards the elder's residence.
Li Han's residence is located at the foot of the mountain behind the main hall. The terrain is quiet and Spiritual Qi gathers together. It is an exclusive retreat courtyard for Earth Sword Peak's direct disciples, far better than ordinary inner disciple's residence.
As soon as Zhou Qi stepped into the back mountain boundary, a weak Divine Sense slowly swept over him and tentatively covered him.
This Divine Sense is not sharp, but rather vigilant. It is obvious that the owner of the courtyard has sensed the foreign aura in advance.
Zhou Qi's eyes were slightly fixed, and he followed the source of this Divine Sense and walked straight towards the independent courtyard not far ahead.
The courtyard is surrounded by bluestone. There is a string of luminous spiritual stones clamped on the wall. The gate is made of copper and is more than one foot high. The courtyard is full of aura, and you can tell at a glance that the people who live there are relatively flamboyant.
He raised his hand and pushed it gently, and the bronze courtyard door opened with a heavy creaking sound.
Almost at the same moment as the courtyard door opened, the main door of the room facing the courtyard suddenly opened.
A young man wearing a golden sword robe stood in the door, his eyebrows were handsome but frowning, his arms were folded across his chest, and his posture was tense, assuming a very defensive and alert posture.
It is Earth Sword Peak's new direct disciple, Li Han.
His eyes were locked on Zhou Qi who stepped into the courtyard, and his tone was cold and stiff, with obvious displeasure. "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Qi looked indifferent and chuckled. There was no tension or alienation from the other party. He walked calmly and passed by Li Han. He walked into the house on his own without being polite at all.
The furnishings in the courtyard are regular and elegant, the windows of the wooden house are bright and clean, the tables, chairs and utensils are all made of the sect's special spiritual wood, which can slowly nourish Spiritual Qi. The objects in the house are neatly placed and spotless, with signs of careful care everywhere.
The elegance of the rich second generation is fully displayed.
In comparison, Zhou Qi's simple and humble courtyard in Heavenly Sword Peak is obviously much superior in quality and environment.
Li Han on the side saw him acting as if there was no one around him, showing no intention of visiting him as a guest. He suddenly became angry and couldn't help but scolded him coldly, "Zhou Qi, what on earth do you want to do?!"
Zhou Qi turned around slowly when he heard the sound, and his eyes fell on the angry Li Han. He walked to the side and sat down on the spiritual wood chair. He spoke in a calm and straightforward tone, "I want to borrow a few more Cultivation Method from you."
"What did you say?!"
When Li Han heard this, his anger suddenly surged, his face suddenly darkened, and he rushed to Zhou Qi in three steps at a time, his chest rising and falling slightly, full of anger and helplessness. "Zhou Qi! You clearly promised me back then, this is the only time! Our transaction has been cleared!"
Halfway through the words, Li Han suddenly paused and his pupils shrank slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something important. He stared at Zhou Qi with a face full of surprise, and said in silence:
"You just took Nascent Soul Realm's Cultivation Method from me not long ago. How long has it been since then? You... have you already Nascent Soul Perfection?!!"
This speculation shocked him greatly, and his expression changed instantly, and his face was full of disbelief.
