After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 115 Leave no one behind

【Oh, someone's here?】

Just before Mo Jiuwei could touch the basket, she heard a noise behind her.

Someone is coming?
Liu Feng looked back, but there were too many forks in the road, and the person coming was probably still some distance away. He didn't hear any sound at first.

Mo Jiuwei had already quickly gathered up the large berries, without stopping her from enjoying them to the fullest.

The flavor of the large berries is very rich, with not only fruity aroma but also floral fragrance. One bite seems to gather all the fragrance of the forest, which makes her feel very intoxicated.

[This is so delicious! We didn't pick enough; we should have picked more, enough to last for years!]

Store more in your immortal abode so you can eat it whenever you want, instead of having to finish it all within a few days like others.

Liu Feng's eyes flickered, and only then did he finally hear the sound behind him.

There was more than one person approaching; their footsteps were numerous, and the sounds of men and women talking could be heard.

The initial conversation was inaudible, but gradually the two voices became clearer—

"...Why do I feel like there's someone else here?" the male voice asked, sounding puzzled.

"No way? How could anyone find this place?" a sweet female voice asked.

You could tell from their voices that they were both very young.

However, judging from the footsteps, there were definitely more than two people coming.

Soon, those people turned a corner and appeared in front of the Immortal Sect members.

The two were a man and a woman dressed in brocade robes. They were about the same age. The man was tall and imposing, while the woman was petite and beautiful. They stood very close together, and it was obvious that they were lovers.

A maid and seven guards followed behind them, deliberately keeping a distance from the two to avoid disturbing their intimate conversation.

Upon suddenly seeing so many people from the Immortal Sect, the group was startled and then frowned.

"There really is someone..." the woman muttered unhappily.

The man walked past them and looked at the crooked, large berry tree by the roadside.

When the man saw that there wasn't a single pink fruit on the entire tree, and that all the rest were unripe green fruit, his face immediately fell.

His unfriendly gaze swept over the members of the Immortal Sect, and sure enough, he saw that three of them had not finished eating their fruit and were still holding it in their hands.

"Gentlemen, you picked those ripe berries, didn't you?" he asked.

“That’s right,” Liu Feng replied.

It's not like it's anything shameful. Even if someone saw the fruit in his hand, he wouldn't deny it.

"You can leave what you've already eaten as my treat, but please return the ones you picked," the young man said.

These words made the people of the Immortal Sect laugh.

"Why should we hand over the fruit we picked ourselves to you?" Hu Jiu said with a sneer, arms crossed.

These fruits are Junior Sister Jiuwei's favorite; they seem to be her favorite fruit these days. They still think that the ones they've picked aren't enough for her to eat all by herself!
Now these people are demanding it as soon as they open their mouths, why should they?
Who is this?!

[This guy is so arrogant, he tried to steal my fruit the moment he arrived, humph.]

“Because this is my tree, the fruit on it is naturally my fruit.” The man became even more displeased upon seeing their attitude.

These words made Yi Xingyun and the others laugh.

"What's your name?" Meng Ling asked, hands on her hips. The male cultivator looked puzzled, but still frowned and answered her, "My name is Ji Xiu."

"You say this is your tree? Is your name written on the tree, or on the fruit?" Meng Ling looked up, searching hard on the tree. "Why can't I see it?"

"Pfft." Ji chuckled softly.

"Cuckoo..."

Mo Jiuwei laughed and giggled.

Chen Lan tapped her nose with her finger, her eyes filled with a doting smile.

Ji Xiu was taken aback, his face immediately turning ashen. "Insolence!"

"This tree originally belonged to Brother Xiu. His family discovered it seven or eight years ago, and we have been picking the fruit every year. You have no right to pick it, so give it back to us!" The female cultivator next to Ji Xiu said angrily, her face flushed.

"Ha, that's hilarious. Your family found this tree, so it belongs to you? Don't you think that's ridiculous?" Even someone as good-natured as Du Yue found this absurd. "According to you, whoever found Qinxue Pool can monopolize this place for generations and not let outsiders in?"

If this logic works, then all the plants and trees in the world would be marked by the first person to discover them. This person would claim the tree, that person would claim a piece of land... What would the cultivation world become then?
Moreover, it's not even certain whether his family discovered the tree first. There's no sign here, and no one is guarding it. Why should he have the final say?
"You! You're just making excuses! You have to hand over the fruit, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Ji Xiu said angrily.

As he spoke, the seven guards behind him stepped forward with cold expressions and placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.

[Such arrogance! Who is this person?]

[Oh, so he's just the son of a minor family in Yanlie City.]

[They're so arrogant and spoiled, they think the Ji family is the only powerful family on the entire continent!]

Mo Jiuwei thought that this arrogant man must be the son of a city lord or sect leader, but she didn't expect that although his family background was not bad, it was only considered upper-middle class in the small town.

Flame Blaze City is just a small city, not even as good as their Purple Leaf City!

In other words, Ji Xiu's family background was inferior to Guo Cong's.

So such arrogance isn't due to having a strong background or powerful connections, but purely because of being an idiot.

It's obvious that his family spoiled him too much, which is why he turned out like this. They even arranged for seven Foundation Establishment guards to protect him when he went out.

Liu Feng and the others were initially wondering who this person was, but they were relieved when they learned that the family behind him was just a small one.

It wasn't that they were afraid, but rather that if the background was too powerful, they would get into trouble without knowing the facts.

But now... we're not afraid anymore.

"We picked the fruit early. Every blade of grass and tree in Qinxue Pond is unclaimed. The rule of the world is first come, first served. There is no reason why someone can't have their hands on something after it has been forcibly taken. If you want to fight, then we'll play along."

Liu Feng spoke in a deep voice, his eyes showing no fear.

"Fine, you'll regret this! Lin San, you go! Remember, leave no one alive!" Ji Xiu sneered and raised his hand.

"Yes, son!"

Seven men, swords drawn, charged forward with murderous intent.

Liu Feng gestured for the others to step back, while he himself gathered his spiritual power and channeled it into the sword in his hand.

At the same time, he stepped forward with his left foot and stood firmly on his right foot, the spiritual sword he had gathered gleaming with spiritual light.

Just as the seven men were about to reach him, he swung his sword in an arc forward—

"what!"
