Lin Yuyan couldn't believe her own judgment.

She couldn't accept this fact!

"That can't be it."

"Maybe, just maybe, Qin Feng bought this monster from Huang Yan!"

"Yes! That must be it!"

Lin Yuyan kept deceiving herself. She couldn't accept that the genius she admired was the son-in-law she had always looked down on!

……

On Tian Shu Peak, Qin Feng stood beside the colossal creature, his figure small yet his aura overwhelming.

He patted the Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino's thick, pillar-like thigh, looked at Elder Zhou Tong who was already dumbfounded, and asked calmly:

Elder Zhou.

"A master at the Meridian Opening Realm is in charge..."

"Is my little pet qualified?"

"this……"

Elder Zhou Tong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the behemoth glaring at him and spitting out thunderous darts from its nostrils, and swallowed hard.

"The sect rules... don't actually say that the guardian of the peak must be human..."

"As long as it's a cultivator at the Meridian Opening Realm... as long as you can completely control it and prevent it from harming innocents..."

"It seems... it's not entirely impossible?"

"Of course we can control it!"

Qin Feng snapped his fingers, the sound crisp and pleasant.

"Get down!"

Boom!

The ferocious Thunder Rhinoceros, which seemed poised to destroy the world, immediately restrained its aura upon hearing the command, and its massive body crashed to the ground.

"So obedient?"

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

Is this still the same incredibly irritable, murderous Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino?

That's practically a domesticated yellow dog!

Zhou Tong took a deep breath, nodded, and felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

Since it complies with the rules, it can be announced.

He had just opened his mouth to announce that the assessment had been passed.

"Wait!!"

An aged yet authoritative voice suddenly rolled down from the heavens!

Like the clanging of metal, it was so loud that it made people's eardrums ache and their blood surge!

"The laws of our ancestors must not be abandoned!!"

Everyone looked up in shock.

In the sky, auspicious clouds rolled and tumbled.

An elderly man dressed in a purple-gold Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, is coming on a cloud!

His face was thin and refined, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and the aura he exuded...

He was actually several times stronger than Elder Zhou Tong!

That sense of oppression could even overwhelm Hua Muyao!

Another Blood-Moving Realm!

"Third Elder!!"

"Elder Gu Changfeng actually came?!"

A low murmur rippled through the crowd, and many immediately knelt down in worship.

This is the Third Elder of the Qingyun Sect's main peak, a truly powerful figure whose status is second only to the Sect Master, the First Elder, and the Second Elder!

In charge of the sect's punishments and etiquette!

Saintess Su Qinghan and Hua Muyao frowned slightly upon seeing the newcomer.

They've come with ill intentions.

But I still had to step forward and bow:

"Greetings, Senior Uncle Gu (Brother Gu)."

Zhou Tong rushed forward, his face filled with confusion and fear:

"Senior brother, what's wrong...?"

Gu Changfeng landed on the mountain peak and said coldly:

"I told you."

"The laws of our ancestors must not be abandoned!"

"The guardians of the peak are the very foundation of this peak, and must be human warriors!"

"This is to ensure the continuity and education within the peak! How can we allow a beast with fur and horns to usurp a high position?"

"This is utterly ridiculous!"

"If word gets out that my Qingyun Sect actually appointed a demon beast as an elder, wouldn't it make us a laughingstock among all cultivators?! Wouldn't it make my Qingyun Sect a laughingstock?!"

This is blatant targeting!

Everyone could tell that Elder Gu was deliberately picking a fight!

This rule is not in the clan rules at all!

But he insisted on using grand terms like "ancestral laws" and "sect reputation" to justify his actions, and as the powerful Third Elder, who dared to contradict him?

in the crowd.

Qi Ying, who had been in despair, suddenly raised her head, her eyes bursting with wild joy!

"Hahaha!"

"There's always a way out!"

"Qin Feng! You planned everything, but you never expected this powerful figure would come to suppress you, did you?!"

"Let's see how you turn the tables this time!!"

Qi Ying looked at the Third Elder in the sky, her brows furrowing slightly...

The Third Elder's aura and physique are somewhat similar to that one.

Could it be?

As if realizing a certain possibility, Qi Ying trembled with fright.

……

Over here, Su Qinghan couldn't help but speak, her voice cold:

"Uncle-Master Gu, the sect rules do not explicitly state that demonic beasts are forbidden..."

"shut up!"

Gu Changfeng waved his sleeve, directly interrupting the Holy Maiden's words, his attitude extremely firm and showing no respect whatsoever:

"Qinghan! You are a Holy Maiden, you should know the rules! You should also uphold the sect's honor!"

"This matter falls within my internal duties. Even if the sect leader were here, reason would still prevail!"

"It's absolutely impossible for a demonic beast to guard the peak!!"

Hua Muyao's beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent, her blood and qi surging, just about to unleash her attack.

Gu Changfeng sneered, taking the initiative and staring sharply at her:

"Junior Sister Hua, you have been retired for many years and no longer concern yourself with the sect's affairs."

"Are we going to break the rules today and forcibly interfere in the sect's affairs?"

"If you insist on this, then I will have to go to the Supreme Elder and have a serious talk with him!"

With just one sentence, Hua Muyao was effectively shut down!

Desperate situation!

An abyss even more despairing than before!

offstage.

As countless disciples looked at the isolated and helpless young figure on the stage, an indescribable sense of sorrow and resentment welled up in their hearts.

They've already done their best!

They've already created so many miracles!

Why?

Why treat him like this?!

Just because he has no connections?

Just because he touched upon the interests of certain people?

"Elder! Please, have mercy!"

"Senior Brother Qin has had a tough time! He's sacrificed so much for Tian Shu Peak!"

"The reopening of Tian Shu Peak is a good thing! Why are you trying to obstruct it in every way?"

It's unclear who started it, but scattered pleas for mercy began to rise, then grew in number and merged into a wave of sound!

however.

Gu Changfeng remained expressionless, seemingly heartless and unmoved.

"Rules are rules!"

"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished!"

He waved his hand dramatically, like a judge wielding his pen:

"This Tian Shu Peak must not be opened today!!"

"Qin Feng! You failed the test!!"

This final verdict, like a heavy hammer, shattered everyone's hopes!

Failed?

Did it really fail?

Wang Tianyi was laughing so hard his face was practically splitting open, and his body was trembling with excitement.

So what if you have a Saint-grade spiritual root?

So what if you have a demonic beast at the Meridian Opening Realm?

Before power, you are still an ant!

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled.

"Oh……"

A soft laugh suddenly rang out.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it carried an indescribable chill.

Followed by.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Qin Feng suddenly burst into laughter!

The laughter grew louder and wilder, filled with sarcasm and madness. They laughed so hard they couldn't straighten up, and tears streamed down their faces!

"Are you crazy?"

"Was Qin Feng too traumatized?"

Everyone looked at him with concern and pity.

"Qin Feng, you..." Su Qinghan wanted to say something to comfort him.

Qin Feng abruptly stopped laughing.

He straightened up, his eyes flashing with an alarming light as he stared intently at the aloof Gu Changfeng, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Who told you...?"

"I only have this one demonic beast at the Meridian Opening Realm?!"

boom--!

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

"What?!"

"There's more?! Another one at the Meridian Opening Realm?!"

"How is this possible?! Tian Shu Peak has been abandoned for so many years, not even a bird would bother there, where would a second strong person come from?!"

"He's bluffing, isn't he?! Absolutely!"

Elder Zhou Tong was also completely bewildered and asked anxiously:

"Qin Feng, this is no joke! Are you sure?!"

Gu Changfeng frowned:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Since you say you have it, then show it to us!"

"If you dare to mock me, your crime will be compounded!! Your cultivation will be crippled!!"

Qin Feng smiled slightly.

He was not intimidated. Instead, he made an extremely elegant "please" gesture, looking calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

He looked at Gu Changfeng, maintaining a basic level of respect:

"The true guardian of Tian Shu Peak... is of noble status and cannot descend the mountain."

"Since Elder Gu doesn't believe it..."

"Then please, esteemed seniors..."

"Come climb the mountain with me!!"

"Let's go see that person..."

"The true guardian of the peak!!"
