Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 148: Old Monster Xue

The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely depressing. The leaves floating in the air seemed to be still, and had turned yellow in mid-air.

In front of the small table, Qu Qingfeng and the old man were facing each other.

Qu Qingfeng still had no trace of worldly matters on his face, and asked, "You have a lot of rules?"

“It’s no smaller than Bailu Academy.” The old man responded.

"If that's the case, why was he killed and his family destroyed, and why was he imprisoned?" Qu Qingfeng continued.

"Bang..." An invisible storm swept out and hit everyone in the courtyard. Li Fan and Lu Yuan were blown away by the air wave. A breeze dragged their bodies and they fell to the ground, still sliding backwards.

The old man's deep eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils were like an abyss, as if they wanted to swallow Qu Qingfeng.

"It's a bit boring to bully the younger generation like this. I didn't attack your disciples." Qu Qingfeng spoke lightly, and a similar pressure emanated from him, competing with the pressure released by the other party.

It seemed as if a wall of air was formed between the two of them. The tables and chairs between them were shattered and turned into powder. Even cracks appeared on the ground in the yard. The pressure was extremely high.

The old man suddenly laughed, his long hair flying wildly, his deep eyes stared at Qu Qingfeng and said, "I didn't expect you to recognize me."

"I'm just a little curious, how did you survive and what price did you pay?" Qu Qingfeng's voice remained calm, without anger.

He didn't think that after Huangji Sect spread the news about Li Fan, a top cultivator of the Seventh Realm came simply to teach a junior a lesson.

Unless the other party was coming for Li Fan.

As for the rest, it's just an excuse.

rule?

What are the rules? They are fists.

Decades ago, the Dali Dynasty was somewhat different from what it is today. At that time, there were many large sects within the dynasty. These sects were independent and did not obey the orders of the court. They acted according to their own preferences, and the court's laws could never restrain the sects.

Although this is a common thing today, it was particularly popular back then.

During that era, many conflicts broke out between the imperial court and the sects.

There were so many sects in the world that the imperial court was unable to suppress them, so it won over a group of them and supported some sects that obeyed the imperial court's orders.

However, the imperial court would not tolerate some extremely vicious sects.

"The Fusang Sect was notorious in the past, and Sect Master Xue was also very powerful. Later, the sect was wiped out by the imperial court, and Sect Master Xue became a prisoner. The outside world should have almost forgotten about this person."

Qu Qingfeng looked at the other party and continued, "But, who is Sect Master Xue serving now?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and stared at Qu Qingfeng.

The middle-aged man in front of him looked young, and should be much younger than him. Hiding in this small academy, he was knowledgeable and well-informed. It was really rare that he could recognize him.

"Every generation has talented people, and one wave is stronger than the other." The old man looked solemn and more serious than before. He looked at Qu Qingfeng and asked, "How did you recognize me?"

A few years ago, it was already the world of another generation.

Some of the older generation died in the turmoil, while others stayed indoors.

Who is this Qu Qingfeng?

Why was he recognized?

"Although this academy is a small world, it has its own secrets, just like the world is hidden in a book. You are not a hermit, so with your level of cultivation, how could no one know about it?" Qu Qingfeng said.

Li Fan stood behind Qu Qingfeng and listened to his words, and immediately understood.

There are not so many coincidences in this world. Behind every coincidence is inevitability.

This old monster was a prisoner of the imperial court, but now he appears alive in the outside world. So it is intriguing to think about what kind of deal was reached behind the scenes.

So, you guessed his identity?

Just find an excuse and take him away.

"Since you know, if I want the person, will you give it to me?" Old Monster Xue looked at Qu Qingfeng and said, his squinting eyes seemed to reveal a smile, but that smile made people feel chilling.

"Since I know, I can't give it to you." Qu Qingfeng responded: "Yang Qingshan is a student of the academy now."

"There are many students in the academy." Old Monster Xue said with a smile.

Qu Qingfeng was stunned and looked at the other party. It seemed that he had overestimated human nature.

"It seems that you still haven't learned the lesson from that year." Qu Qingfeng replied.

"interesting."

Old Monster Xue stared at Qu Qingfeng and laughed. Although he didn't know who Qu Qingfeng was, at his age, he was considered a younger generation figure, yet he dared to threaten him.

Old Monster Xue stood up and glanced at Li Fan. His deep eyes seemed to want to swallow Li Fan.

"Little guy, although you have some talent, it's not good to be too arrogant." Old Monster Xue smiled strangely, then turned around and walked out, with Huangji Sect's leader Xiao Yu and Xiao Qiang following behind him.

Xiao Qiang glanced at Li Fan before leaving.

Old Monster Xue walked out of the courtyard and stepped into the academy. With every step he took, the academy shook. All the students in the academy felt a tremendous pressure falling on them, like the pressure from the avenue. Their bodies were tense and they dared not move.

As Old Monster Xue walked out step by step, the entire Bailu Academy seemed to be shaking. When he stepped out of Bailu Academy, the feeling of oppression disappeared. People on Bailu Street avoided him one after another, not daring to say anything.

I didn't expect that Huangji Sect's leader Xiao Yu actually has a master, and that he is a monster-level figure who is rampant in Bailu Academy, which shows how powerful he is.

No wonder the Huangji Sect dared to do this.

It turns out that he is fearless.

"Bang..." There was another loud noise. Just as the people from the White Deer Academy relaxed, it was as if someone stepped on their hearts, and a voice exploded in their eardrums: "Is the White Deer Academy satisfied with this explanation?"

In the depressing atmosphere, the academy was silent. Old Lu stared outside. A suffocating and oppressive feeling enveloped him, as if those words were spoken to him.

"Not so satisfied."

Qu Qingfeng's gentle voice came, and an invisible force dissipated the oppressive feeling. Qu Qingfeng continued: "Huangji Sect, don't have a foothold in Yunmeng City in the future, just disband it."

When Old Monster Xue heard his words, he was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and walked forward. With every step he took, Bailu Street trembled violently, cracks appeared on the ground of Bailu Street, and loud noises were heard.

Old Monster Xue stomped hard, and the magic circle collapsed immediately. The magic power flowed wildly, but the entire Bailu Street was shattered.

The white deer was shattered.

"Since Bailu Academy has bullied my disciple, if they are unwilling to hand over that person, don't blame me for reciprocating." Old Monster Xue spoke loudly, and everyone living in Bailu Street heard his voice.

This old monster wants Bailu Street to hand over Yang Qingshan.

Finally, Old Monster Xue went away, and the oppressive feeling that was weighing on everyone's heads dissipated. The people on Bailu Street and the students of the academy finally breathed a sigh of relief and started talking about the matter.

Who is this old monster?
In the courtyard, Qu Qingfeng looked thoughtful, then looked at Li Fan with a smile in his eyes.

"Sir, you can actually laugh." Li Fan said.

"This old monster was able to come out alive. The reason behind this should be as we guessed. I'm afraid the court used him to come here." Qu Qingfeng said: "The court is not convenient to intervene in this matter, so they had to let this notorious old monster take action. But I guess he didn't expect that I would recognize him."

Decades is a long time ago.

Li Fan nodded secretly. It seemed that the imperial court was still unwilling to let him go.

But this time, the court did not come forward on its own.

First, he had a bad reputation, and secondly, what happened in Chuzhou City must have made the imperial court wary.

The imperial court must also be worried about Li Shan's revenge. Although Li Shan cannot shake the imperial court, Li Shan's great practitioners can go to the imperial court's various prefectures.

"Sir, you even know the old monster from decades ago, so you must know who I am." Li Fan said. He didn't want to hide anything. He thought Mr. Qu should have guessed it.

"Yes." Qu Qingfeng nodded: "When you first arrived, you hadn't thought about it, but with the appearance of Old Monster Xue, you can probably be sure of it."

What happened in Chuzhou City is no secret.

“I just don’t know if that old monster Xue knows about this.” Qu Qingfeng smiled. If old monster Xue knew, then he should understand that a great cultivator in the seventh realm will also die.

Ji Xue didn't quite understand what they were talking about.
Who exactly is Li Fan?

Li Fan bowed to Qu Qingfeng and said, "I am Li Fan, your honor to meet you, sir."

Although Qu Qingfeng already knew it, he still saluted with his real identity, which showed his respect for Qu Qingfeng.

"Li Fan?"

Ji Xue had never heard of this name.

It turned out that Yang Qingshan was a pseudonym he used.

But why did he use a pseudonym?

The court wants to deal with him?

How could Li Fan, who was so young, lead the imperial court to deal with him?

"Speaking of which, there is something I am curious about." Qu Qingfeng looked at Li Fan with a smile and asked, "Li Fan, can you help me solve this puzzle? Of course, if it is inconvenient, that's fine."

"Please speak, sir." Li Fan replied.

"That day, the court went to Lishan Mountain. What happened on the top of Lishan Mountain?" Qu Qingfeng asked, "Why did the court keep its eyes on a young man like you and refuse to let you go?"

"Leaving the mountain..."

Ji Xue was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Fan, and then looked at Lu Yuan.

How come she didn't think of it?

Li Fan and Lu Yuan did not seek a disciple because they already had a master.

The two of them are sword cultivators from Lishan.

"It's not a secret." Li Fan said, "That day, Lingxiao Pavilion brought its disciples to Lishan to ask for swords, and I defeated a disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion."

Qu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and suddenly understood.

It turned out to be the case.
