Wang Tianyi gave a sinister smile:

"Don't worry, Patriarch Lin."

"I know a disciple of Blazing Flame Peak—Chu Kuang!"

"This person possesses a top-grade fire spirit root! Although he's only at the peak of the Newborn Realm, his mastery of the 'Wildfire Spear Technique' is already at its peak! His combat strength is comparable to that of a Divine Power Realm cultivator!"

"Back then, he was almost taken in as a personal disciple by the sect leader. His strength is terrifying! He's far beyond what these useless underlings of ours can compare to!"

Lin Zhengnan's eyes lit up: "I've heard of this person! He's a martial arts fanatic who rarely shows his face."

Wang Tian nodded:

"I can get him to come. But... there will be a price to pay."

"no problem!"

Lin Zhengnan waved his hand, his face contorted with rage:

"I'm willing to pay any price to completely cripple that little bastard Qin Feng on the stage!!"

……

Tian Shu Peak, the night is deep.

Qin Feng returned to the house, opened his storage bag, and poured out a large pile of spirit stones.

"Ten mid-grade pills... more than a hundred low-grade pills... and this pile of miscellaneous pills."

"These scions of wealthy families are indeed rolling in money!"

Qin Feng was in a great mood and shoved everything at Lu Qianlang:

"Take it! Distribute it to the disciples who need it!"

As soon as Lu Qianlang left, the communication jade pendant in his arms began to vibrate.

Li Qingtian's earnest voice came through:

"Master Feng! Could you please come again?"

"My daughter wishes to consolidate the treatment and eradicate the lingering roots of that inner demon..."

Qin Feng frowned.

The remnants of inner demons?

The fire poison has long been completely cleared away, so where did this inner demon come from?

This girl... could she be having puberty?

"Can!"

Qin Feng replied with a single word, changed into a black robe, and went to the Li residence again.

……

The Li residence, the embroidered tower.

Today, Li Wanqing wore a light purple gauze dress and had delicate makeup on her face. She looked radiant and beautiful, showing no signs of illness whatsoever.

Qin Feng noticed something amiss as soon as he entered the room.

"I observe that Miss Li has a rosy complexion and abundant spiritual energy. Her inner demons have been eliminated. How can there be any talk of illness?"

Li Qingtian tactfully withdrew and closed the door behind him.

Only two people remained inside.

Li Wanqing bit her red lips, and boldly took a step forward, almost pressing herself against Qin Feng:

"master……"

"Lately, Wanqing has indeed been experiencing frequent emotional ups and downs and has found it difficult to calm down."

"Furthermore... Wanqing has also heard that there has been some turmoil within the Qingyun Sect recently, and the Grandmaster seems to be showing considerable favor to Tian Shu Peak?"

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

This girl... there's a hidden meaning in her words!

"I act solely according to my conscience," Qin Feng said indifferently.

Li Wanqing blinked, a sly glint in her eyes:

"Yeah?"

"But Wanqing felt that the master seemed to know too much about Tian Shu Peak."

"Last time you mentioned having a connection with Qin Feng, may I ask what that connection is?"

"Could it be... that Master knew Qin Feng's grandfather, Senior Qin Xiaotian, in his early years?"

This little girl! Her mind is so meticulous!

Qin Feng was secretly alarmed, but he forced himself to remain calm and snorted coldly:

"Let's not dwell on these old stories!"

"If Miss Li has nothing else, I will take my leave!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Master, please wait!"

Li Wanqing suddenly shouted, her voice tinged with urgency:

"Wanqing has one last question!"

"That day in my dream, amidst a sea of ​​fire... that divine brother who helped me absorb the fire poison..."

"Does he... really exist in this world?!"

Qin Feng paused, his back stiffening slightly.

"Miss Li!"

He didn't turn around, his voice stern:

"I have stated it repeatedly! That is a delusion created by your own illusions!"

"How can illusions be taken as reality?!"

"Your obsession with illusions and your constant suspicion are the real demons within you!!"

Having said that, Qin Feng waved his sleeve and, without giving Li Wanqing another chance to ask questions, strode out of the embroidered building.

That figure, no matter how you look at it, exudes an air of panicked escape.

Looking in the direction Qin Feng left, Li Wanqing did not chase after him.

She sat in the chair, her fingers gently twirling a strand of hair, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Such a strong reaction..."

"Is he feeling guilty?"

"My fairy brother..."

……

Return to Tian Shu Peak.

As soon as Qin Feng entered the main hall, he saw that his disciples all looked troubled and hesitated to speak.

"What happened?" Qin Feng asked.

Lu Qianlang stepped forward, his expression grave:

"Peak Master... someone from the Enforcement Hall just came by."

"They said Elder Zhou Tong wants to invite you over to discuss something important."

Enforcement Hall?

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and sneered inwardly.

"Something important?"

"Hmph! It seems someone's getting restless and is trying to exert pressure through the sect!"

"I'd like to see what tricks you're up to this time!"

……

The main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall is solemn and dignified.

Elder Zhou Tong sat upright in the main seat, his face expressionless.

Wang Tianyi and Qin Feng stood on either side below, the atmosphere tense and ready to fight.

"Qin Feng".

Zhou Tong spoke in a deep voice:

"Someone has reported that disciples of Tian Shu Peak robbed fellow disciples from other peaks. Is this true?"

Qin Feng remained calm and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:

"We implore Elder Zhou to make the right judgment!"

"Our disciples from Tian Shu Peak are outnumbered and outmatched, and have been at a disadvantage the entire time. They clearly attacked first, and our disciples are still lying in bed, battered and bruised!"

"snort!"

Wang Tianyi stepped forward, his face filled with heartache and indignation:

"Elder Zhou! Fellow disciples!"

"This boy is spouting complete nonsense!"

"If he does it himself, then I'll accept it! After all, in a sparring match between fellow disciples, strength is paramount!"

"But……"

"but……"

He pointed at Qin Feng, his eyes filled with resentment:

"He colluded with outsiders! He hired an unknown expert to attack my disciples!"

"This is clearly a violation of the sect's rules!!"

Qin Feng sneered and retorted:

"Someone else intervened? That's none of my business!"

"It must have been some shrewd person who couldn't stand your behavior and stepped in to punish you!"

"Elder Zhou, you are wise to see the truth!"

"This disciple is focused on revitalizing Tian Shu Peak; how could I have the time to engage in such petty and despicable acts?"

"On the contrary, it's the Lin and Wang families! Driven by personal grudges, they've repeatedly provoked me, cut off my resources, and injured my disciples!"

"Now they're even turning around and accusing me of looting!"

"Their behavior is what truly undermines the unity of the sect! They're bullying their fellow disciples!!"

"You're talking nonsense!!"

Wang Tianyi was so angry that his beard trembled, and he pointed at Qin Feng and cursed:

"If you hadn't attacked first, why would we have retaliated?!"

The two sides went back and forth, arguing fiercely.

"quiet!!"

Zhou Tong slammed his hand on the table, unleashing a burst of oppressive power:

"Stop making such a racket! What kind of behavior is this?!"

The hall fell silent instantly.

Wang Tianyi took a deep breath, a glint of triumph flashing in his eyes, and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Elder Zhou!"

"Since everyone has their own version of events, this is just a pointless argument!"

"To prevent continued turmoil within the sect and disciples from killing each other!"

"Perhaps we should follow the old precedent..."

He turned to look at Qin Feng, a sinister smile spreading across his face:

"The final showdown in the ring!!"

"The loser must accept the penalty!!"
