I saw that familiar figure from behind.
Chu Yunfei was slightly taken aback.
He hadn't expected that Li Qingzhou would actually dare to stand up in such a desperate situation.
"Uncle Li..." Chu Yunfei called out softly.
Li Qingzhou did not turn around.
He slowly raised his hand, took off his straw hat and threw it on the ground, revealing his weathered face.
" Zhang Qingfeng, there's no need for further pleasantries."
Li Qingzhou's tone was calm, yet it conveyed a sense of determination.
"Let's get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingzhou gripped the hilt of his sword, and the longsword slowly came out of its sheath.
boom!
An extremely sharp and terrifying sword aura surged from his body, tearing a gap in Zhang Qingfeng's Peak of the Heavenly Origin Realm pressure.
Seventh Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm!
The entire audience was astonished.
Even Chu Yunfei showed a surprised expression.
He had always thought Li Qingzhou's cultivation was unassuming, but he never expected him to be so deeply hidden.
With such strength, apart from Zhang Qingfeng, he is undoubtedly the number one person in the entire Azure Mystic Sect!
However, this is far from enough.
There is still an insurmountable gap between them and Zhang Qingfeng, who is at the Heavenly Origin Realm Ninth Layer.
Moreover, Jiang Lie, the Blazing Fire Sect, was also watching them closely.
There is also Mo Yuan, the Divine Sea Realm, who is like a pillar stabilizing the sea!
Trying to escape with so many experts while surrounded is simply a pipe dream.
Chu Yunfei took a deep breath.
He couldn't let Li Qingzhou die in vain.
Stepping forward, Chu Yunfei looked over Li Qingzhou's shoulder and said softly, "Uncle Li, you should go now."
"You've done enough for me. If my father knew this from beyond the grave, he wouldn't blame you."
Li Qingzhou turned her head to the side and glanced at him with a furrowed brow.
Chu Yunfei grinned, but his eyes grew colder and colder.
"Besides, I'm not the pushover I was just two weeks ago. They might not be able to afford the price to take my life!"
That's all.
Chu Yunfei gripped the Abyss-Devouring Sword tightly, his eyes turning completely cold and bloodthirsty as he locked onto Zhang Qingfeng in mid-air.
The Heavenly Origin Realm Ninth Layer is indeed powerful.
With Chu Yunfei's current foundation at the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm, he has no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
However, if one were to use forbidden techniques to elevate their cultivation to the Peak of the Heavenly Origin Realm or even the Divine Sea Realm, then the methods from their previous life could still be used to some extent.
At that time, let alone Zhang Qingfeng, he would be confident that he could contend with, or even kill, that old guy in the Divine Sea Realm!
The cost was enormous.
But when it really comes down to it, we have no choice but to take a gamble!
Chu Yunfei reached into his robes with his left hand, his fingers already touching the cold silver needle.
"Etc."
"Wait."
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
The first one exploded directly deep within Chu Yunfei's sea of consciousness.
It was the voice of Xiaoxiao Dragon, the peerless female dragon king inside the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate.
The second one, however, came from outside the dense forest in the distance.
Crisp and cool.
Upon hearing the woman's voice, Chu Yunfei abruptly stopped, finding the voice strangely familiar.
The voice instantly drew everyone's attention, and they all turned to look.
Following everyone's gaze.
Three figures walked slowly and unhurriedly along the forest path in the distance.
The two women were leading the way.
The one walking on the left was dressed in a white silk dress, with a cool and ethereal temperament, and an exquisite face like a fairy who did not eat the food of this world.
The one walking on the right is wearing a pale yellow gauze dress.
Although her face was mostly covered by a light veil, making it impossible to see her features clearly, her noble temperament and exquisite figure were undeniable, and her beauty was in no way inferior to the woman in the white dress next to her.
Behind these two stunningly beautiful women...
A mysterious person followed him like a shadow.
The person was completely shrouded in a large black robe, making it impossible to tell whether they were male or female, and not a trace of their aura was leaking out.
It was like a lifeless shadow.
I can see what the person looks like.
A gasp of surprise immediately erupted from the crowd on the periphery.
"Isn't this Pavilion Master Wen from the Pill Pavilion in Qingyang City?!"
Why would she come to this desolate wilderness?
"Could it be that Pavilion Master Wen also heard rumors and came for the treasures on Chu Yunfei's person?"
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes wide with astonishment.
It should be noted that Wen Jiao usually keeps to herself and rarely appears even within the Pill Pavilion, let alone venture into the perilous Cangwu Mountain Range.
Chu Yunfei saw that aloof and stunningly beautiful face, and his fingers holding the silver needles loosened slightly.
He was somewhat surprised.
What is this woman doing here at this time?
Ignoring the hundreds of gazes around her, Wen Jiao walked straight to the center of the arena.
Her gaze immediately fell on Chu Yunfei.
After looking Chu Yunfei up and down, they confirmed that apart from his clothes being a little torn, he did not have any fatal injuries.
Wen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly.
Then, she nodded slightly to Chu Yunfei as a greeting.
Among the crowd present.
The one who reacted the most was none other than Nangong Wuhen, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Upon seeing Wen Jiao appear, Nangong Wuhen's cold smile vanished instantly, and his brows furrowed tightly.
As fellow disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he naturally recognized Wen Jiao.
Although Wen Jiao joined the sect relatively late and spent most of her time outside the sect.
But Nangong Wuhen knew very well that this woman's background was anything but simple.
Even the most eccentric and powerful elders in the sect treated her with great courtesy.
Nangong Wuhen's eyes flickered with uncertainty as he secretly plotted his next move.
"This woman had to show up at this exact moment of all times."
"Could it be that she also knows the details of the Giant Que Sword, that it contains the secrets of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor's inheritance, and wants to interfere?"
but.
The thought only flashed through Nangong Wuhen's mind for a moment.
He glanced at Elder Mo Yuan, who stood beside him with his hands behind his back and a disdainful expression, and the fear in his heart instantly vanished.
With the Divine Sea Realm expert in charge, that's absolute confidence!
In this remote area of Qingyang City, those at the Divine Sea Realm are practically invincible, a force of nature.
Even if Wen Jiao has a powerful background, if she wants to get a share of the pie from him, she'll have to see if Nangong Wuhen agrees!
On the other side.
When Zhang Qingfeng saw Wen Jiao appear, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling rose within him.
The Azure Mystic Sect relies heavily on the Pill Pavilion for its annual supply of elixirs.
The Pill Pavilion holds a superior position in Qingyang City and has never participated in power struggles. Wen Jiao's interference at this time is definitely not going to end well.
Zhang Qingfeng withdrew the spiritual power from his palm and forced a smile.
" Pavilion Master Wen, what are you doing...?"
Zhang Qingfeng hadn't finished speaking.
Wen Jiao interrupted him directly.
She didn't even glance at Zhang Qingfeng, her gaze sweeping across the entire room, her voice cold and domineering.
" Chu Yunfei, I, the Pavilion Master, have protected him today."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence for a moment, then erupted into chaos.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe their ears.
The Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion actually wants to protect someone who is destined to die and has been given an exorbitant bounty by the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect?
Are you crazy?!
In Qingyang City, the Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion truly holds a transcendent position. Even the sect masters of the Azure Mystic Sect and Blazing Fire Sect have to address him respectfully as Pavilion Master Wen.
But her current opponent is not the local tyrant of Qingyang City, but the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
It was a colossal entity that towered over the entire Qingyang City.
Although she is the head of the Pill Pavilion and holds a special position, she is ultimately just a minor head of a branch pavilion.
Now, she actually dares to openly protect the wanted criminal whom the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect has specifically requested to kill, right in front of him?
This is tantamount to declaring war on the Heavenly Sword Sect!
