This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The screen in the private room was pushed open, and the first person to enter was Yang Haotian, the owner of Fuyang Manor, followed by Prince Cheng, Jiang Wei.

Unlike Yang Haotian, who had a kind face, Jiang Wei did not seem to be there to admit his mistakes and apologize; his narrow eyes were full of malice.

"My name is Yang Haotian, and I greet you all."

Wang Yangming and Wang Jingshu quickly stood up and returned the greeting with clasped hands.

The gentle breeze and the bright moon remained seated, showing no intention of getting up.

Seeing this, Wang Yangming and Wang Jingshu had no choice but to sit down reluctantly, full of doubts but not daring to ask any more questions.

"Master Yang, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"It's just a gentle breeze," said Qingfeng.

Yang Haotian smiled and replied:

"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

"However, regarding the misunderstanding between Young Master Qingfeng and Young Master Wei, I would like to do you two a favor and ask that you both consider my position and let the matter drop. What do you say?"

Qingfeng glanced at Yang Haotian, then at Jiang Wei, completely ignoring his sinister look.

"Since you refuse to apologize to my junior sister, I'll kill your people too, and that'll even things out."

Qingfeng's words were startling.

Wang Yangming and Wang Jingshu suddenly opened their eyes wide.

"Kill...kill someone? Senior brother, you..."

Wang Jingshu looked incredulous.

Down the mountain, she was still complaining that Qingfeng wouldn't stand up for her, but unexpectedly, her senior brother went to kill for her in the blink of an eye...

Wang Jingshu's eyes shone, and an unusual gleam appeared in them.

Wang Yangming wanted to say something, but his throat felt dry and he couldn't speak.

Jiang Wei snorted coldly upon hearing this and said coldly:

"Hmph... I'll let it go today for the sake of Master Yang. I hope you never run into me again in the future."

After saying that, Jiang Wei turned and left.

Master Yang smiled wryly and bowed to Qingfeng, saying:

"Please don't take offense, Young Master Qingfeng. After all, Young Master Wei is of extraordinary status and has never suffered such a loss before. He is still upset and can't get over his emotions. Please don't hold it against him, Young Master Qingfeng."

Qingfeng waved his hand and said:

"It's alright."

Yang Haotian stopped bothering him and bowed to take his leave.

After the two left, the private room fell silent instantly.

Wang Jingshu, who was usually very talkative, became quiet and stared absently at the competition in the square, her eyes filled with thoughts that only she herself knew.

Looking at his senior brother, Wang Yangming felt that he exuded an unfathomable aura.

kill?

Let alone actually doing it, Wang Yangming didn't even dare to think about it.

Judging from Qingfeng's words, it seems he killed more than one...

Is this... really true?

By this point, none of them had any interest in watching the martial arts competition anymore.

Qingfeng's gaze swept across the crowd in the square, and he had already noticed several people who were quite different from ordinary martial artists.

He pondered this in his heart, then said to his fellow disciples:

"This competition is pointless. Why don't we go back? It's still early, we can go back to the county town and take a look around."

Upon hearing Qingfeng's suggestion, the group of people who had long lost interest in watching the martial arts competition nodded in agreement.

As the group stepped out of the private room and reached the central private room, Yang Haotian happened to spot them and quickly came out to greet them.

"Are you all leaving?"

Qingfeng nodded and said:

"Yes, I have some matters to attend to at home, so I should head back early before it gets dark. Thank you for your hospitality. If you have some free time, Master Yang, you are welcome to visit Anyi County."

Yang Haotian indeed had this intention, and cupped his hands in a smile:

"That's wonderful. I'm an old friend of Lord Wang's, and it's been a long time since I last visited him. I'll definitely pay him a visit next time I have the chance."

Wang Yangming quickly returned the greeting, saying that he would be waiting for your arrival.

After saying goodbye, the four of them left Fuyang Manor together.

Watching the group walk away, Yang Haotian couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Truly, new talents emerge in every generation of the martial world. If this young man doesn't die young, he will surely become famous in the future..."

Qingfeng's methods, charisma, and ruthless cold-bloodedness perfectly embody the image of a powerful and ruthless leader.

Yang Haotian was very curious about what kind of sect could cultivate such a young prodigy.

Not far away, Jiang Wei also saw the group leave.

He had already found out the identities of Qingfeng and the others, but at this moment he just watched from afar without making any move.

But judging from his expression, this matter is far from over.

The four of them remained silent as they descended the mountain together.

Only after he was seated in the carriage did Wang Yangming finally ask:

"Senior brother, you...you really killed someone?"

When Wang Jingshu heard her brother ask the question, she immediately perked up her ears to listen.

Seeing this, Qingfeng nodded slightly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"We had no choice but to resort to drastic measures."

At that time, the four or five attendants turned on each other with swords, their attacks ruthless, completely disregarding his life or death.

If it weren't for the protective armor and talisman bestowed upon him by his master, he would have been the one to die.

To deter the villains and protect himself, Qingfeng had no choice but to resort to his most ruthless method—the Five Thunder Talisman.

Even Qingfeng himself did not expect that a single Five Thunder Talisman would kill several people.

His intention was only to wound without killing.

However, since things had come to this, Qingfeng had nothing to regret. After the initial discomfort subsided, he had already adapted.

This is actually because he has not yet established his foundation and is unable to accurately control the power of the talisman.

If it is Mingyue who performs this, she can use her own magic power to control the power of the talisman and achieve the desired effect.

Therefore, Qingfeng secretly decided that he must cultivate diligently in the next few days and strive to establish his foundation as soon as possible.

Hearing Qingfeng's explanation, Wang Yangming breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, there was still some worry on his face.

"But...won't I get away with killing someone? Won't the authorities intervene?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingshu, who was standing to the side, immediately objected.

"Why should we care? Why didn't the authorities do anything when that young master Wei almost killed me?"

"Those people wanted to harm my senior brother and kill him. My senior brother was just trying to protect himself. Even if the authorities come, my senior brother's actions are reasonable and legal, and he can justify his actions wherever he goes."

Although Wang Yangming agreed with this reasoning, Jiang Wei was, after all, the heir of a prince. If he really wanted to force the government to intervene, they probably wouldn't be able to explain themselves even if they had a valid point.

At this moment, Mingyue, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"Faced with injustice, we cultivators have no reason to back down, not even if our master were here."

Seeing this, Wang Yangming could say nothing more.

The four of them rode in a horse-drawn carriage straight to Anyi County.

Upon arriving in the county town, Wang Yangming first had a carriage take Qingfeng and Mingyue home before returning to the Wang family home.

As Qingfeng stepped into the courtyard, he was startled.

My master has emerged from seclusion ahead of schedule.

Qingfeng immediately realized that his master must have sensed his use of the talisman.

He didn't speak, but silently led Mingyue forward, stood before Li Daoxuan, bowed his head, and called out:

"Master..."

Mingyue called out somewhat hastily:

"Master..."

Li Daoxuan raised his head, glanced at them, his gaze sweeping over them, and nodded, saying:

"Hmm, you're not hurt, are you?"

Qingfeng was taken aback, then shook his head.

Li Daoxuan then asked:

"What about Yangming and Jingshu?"

"Everything is fine."

"That's fine then..."

After saying that, Li Daoxuan pushed his wheelchair toward the room.

Qingfeng and Mingyue were left standing in the courtyard, looking at each other in bewilderment.
