I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

The old monsters who had been eyeing the Xuantian Sword Sect with predatory intent left, filled with rage.

The prodigies who entered the Xuantian Sword Sect to avenge their relatives, friends, and fellow disciples also fled with their tails between their legs.

Only the disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect looked at Li Yang with a complex expression in their eyes.

The admiration of young sword cultivators like Wang Liexiao;

The sighs and lamentations of Lu Feng and other elders;

A soft peach-colored light appeared in Su Miaomei's eyes;

Also hearing the commotion were four women: Jiang Qingci, He Lu, Mu Ling'er, and Du Tinglan, who had come from the main peak.

Each of them frowned, feeling a sense of loss as Qin Feng appeared unfamiliar to them.

In a more distant location, Ning Xi, the tenth disciple of Crane Cry Peak and Li Yangxin's junior sister, had a smile playing on her lips:

"This guy is truly one of a kind. I don't know if what I did was right or wrong. But no matter what the outcome, the process will definitely be very exciting, which is exactly what I hope for."

……

The matter at Doujian Peak is settled.

Li Yang returned to the sect leader's peak.

The injuries were indeed quite severe, but fortunately, among the spoils of war were many high-quality healing pills.

But before he could even begin his retreat, someone came knocking on his door.

"Junior brother, you're too reckless." Outside the door stood Su Miao, the fifth disciple of the sect's main peak.

She was also the only senior sister who did not receive any benefits from Qin Feng, nor did she show any favoritism towards her seventh junior brother, Ye Zhi Qiu.

But that doesn't mean Li Yang will treat her kindly.

After all, we're pretending right now; the less we do, the fewer mistakes we make, so we won't be exposed.

"You want to teach me how to do things?" Li Yang pushed open the door, looking displeased.

His gaze fell especially on the four beautiful female cultivators behind Su Miao.

No wonder Qin Feng was envied by the male cultivators of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect; these five senior sisters were indeed all stunning beauties.

However, after meeting Ning Qingfeng, who was known for her radiant beauty, his aesthetic sense was greatly enhanced.

Ah, it's true that you shouldn't meet someone too amazing at the beginning.

"Junior brother, may we come in and sit down?" Su Miao asked, her hands clasped in front of her, appearing somewhat reserved.

"No," Li Yang said bluntly.

"If there's nothing else, don't disturb me while I'm healing. Remember, we're just cultivators from the same peak; we're not related as senior or junior brothers."

I'm not interested in you, so please don't bother me.

Especially you guys, if you like Ye Zhi Qiu, go find him. Don't act like you're having withdrawal symptoms if I don't give you tributes.

If you're really starved for love, go apply for a job at the Hehuanlou in Kanzhou next door.

Not only was he blunt, but he was also extremely rude.

"How dare you!"

"How dare you talk to your senior sister like that?!"

"Qin Feng, say that again!"

Jiang Qingci, He Lu, Mu Ling'er, and Du Tinglan's faces darkened.

Originally, Li Yang's outstanding performance, as well as the shift in the sect's political climate, made them want to have a proper talk with him.

But who would have thought that when they humbled themselves and went to his door, they would be so humiliated by Li Yang.

"Don't do anything reckless!" Su Miao quickly stepped in front of Li Yang.

"It's because you yourselves went a bit too far." She glanced back at Li Yang, then at the wooden house that supplied most of the spiritual energy to the herb garden, and sighed.

He turned around and said, "Ask yourselves honestly how good your junior brother has been to you all these years, using his own resources to help you cultivate."

You accepted it, but you don't appreciate it. Junior Brother Qin deserved it from you.

Take He Lu, for example.

"You took Junior Brother Qin's refining materials, but gave the flying sword you forged to Junior Brother Ye. Is that appropriate?"

"I..." He Lu tried to explain.

But Su Miao raised her hand to interrupt, and then looked at Jiang Qingci:

"Second Senior Sister, how many spiritual herbs did Junior Brother Qin give you? You do have a talent for alchemy, but without Junior Brother Qin, could you have achieved what you have today?"

Let me ask you—

"How many pills did you give to Junior Brother Qin after refining them from his spiritual herbs?"

"Didn't I give it to him?!" Jiang Qingci raised her head.

Su Miao's eyes sharpened: "So, did you give more to Junior Brother Qin, or Junior Brother Ye?"

"That's different!" Jiang Qingci's eyes darted away. "Junior Brother Ye has no background, so as his senior sisters, we should help him more."

Su Miao shook her head, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"You used Junior Brother Qin's resources to resolve Junior Brother Ye's grievances, yet you still think it's perfectly reasonable?"

If that's the case, I actually agree with what Junior Brother Qin just said—from now on, we are all just disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect cultivating on the same mountain peak, and there is no senior-junior relationship between us.

Why?

Because you don't deserve it!

Saying those words made Su Miao feel much more relaxed.

Because on the arena, that young man disregarded life and death for a flying sword. That image was like a thorn in my side, like a needle piercing my heart.

These words made Senior Sister Du Tinglan and Mu Ling'er feel ashamed, but Jiang Qingci and He Lu turned their faces away.

Just then—

Ye Zhi Qiu landed on his sword.

His face showed self-reproach:

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that my actions would cause such a rift between my senior brothers and sisters. I will find an opportunity to explain the situation to Master and withdraw from the Sect Master Peak."

He humbled himself greatly, and with a tearful expression, he immediately aroused Jiang Qingci and He Lu's pity.

"It has nothing to do with you. It's someone who thinks we can't live without him." Jiang Qingci's voice was cold as she looked at Li Yang. "From today onwards, we sever our relationship as fellow disciples. I will no longer take any of your spiritual herbs, and you should not bother me."

Upon hearing this, Li Yang clapped his hands and laughed:

"Wonderful!"

Although he didn't know what Qin Feng, that scumbag, was thinking, he knew that doing this would only benefit him.

Ye Zhi Qiu then took out a series of jade boxes, each containing cultivation resources related to array formation, alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making.

"Senior sister, don't say such hurtful things. My original intention was to prepare some supplies needed for the deputy positions, because I feel that we are all on the same mountain, all one family, and should help each other."

I never intended to replace Senior Brother Qin in the hearts of the senior sisters.

"It's all because of me that my senior brother was ostracized by his senior sisters, which is why he acted so erratically on Sword Fighting Peak."

"Say that again, you son of a bitch!" Li Yang, who was still watching the show, suddenly glared and cursed angrily. How dare someone insult him so sarcastically, calling him a madman.

"Qin Feng, it's one thing for you to kill those geniuses, but are you going to kill your junior brother too?!" He Lu shouted angrily, shielding Ye Zhi Qiu behind her.

Li Yang was so angry he laughed:

"So, do you think I have to beg for this right to make offerings? If you want to make offerings, then make offerings, but don't drag me into it."

He then stared into Ye Zhi Qiu's eyes, his tone very serious:

"This is the first time you've disrespected me and called me crazy."

But there was no second time.

Otherwise, I will definitely kill you, and no one can stop me!

Seeing the conflict that should have been resolved only deepen, Su Miao felt powerless.

"Thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother. But Junior Sister Su is right, we shouldn't accept undeserved rewards. You should keep your resources for yourself; we'll find a way to acquire them ourselves." Du Tinglan sighed.

Mu Ling'er also returned the jade box that Ye Zhi Qiu had handed her. Inside was a top-quality calligraphy brush used for drawing talismans, its surface covered with naturally formed cloud patterns.

"I have indeed received too many benefits from Junior Brother Qin over the years, but when he was fighting to the death, I did not see a single one of my talismans to help him."

This is my inability as the senior sister, and also the debt I owe to the beneficiary. Every wound on his body mocks the gifts I once received.

If those talismans cannot protect him from disaster, then they are debts I have written.

The two left one after the other, their expressions complex.

Su Miao's words were probably the most shocking.

Or perhaps it was Li Yang's bloody battle on the life-or-death arena that made them reflect on their mistakes.

"Junior Brother Ye, you meant well, but you've inadvertently stirred up trouble." Su Miao looked at Ye Zhi Qiu and unconsciously compared him to Li Yang.

Although Ye Zhi Qiu had only spent a hundred days building his foundation, Li Yang was far more charismatic in a sword-cultivating sect like the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.

A grown man, yet he hides behind a woman and cries and sobs when things go wrong.

It's fine within the safety of a sect, but if you really go to a secret realm full of dangers, how can you feel safe?

"From today onwards, try not to appear in front of Senior Brother Qin, and do not speak offensively to him."

You should have seen his actions on Sword Fighting Peak; he said he would kill you, and he wouldn't give you a chance to live.

Your senior sister wasn't threatening you; she was just kindly reminding you.

I hope you take good care of yourself.

Su Miao also left.

She didn't want to persuade Jiang Qingci and He Lu anymore; they had to walk the path they had chosen, whether it brought them fortune or misfortune.

"snort!"

Jiang Qingci glanced at Li Yang, then left with He Lu, each holding Ye Zhi Qiu's hand on either side.

Even surrounded by two beautiful senior sisters, Ye Zhi Qiu's expression remained unpleasant.

At that moment, a "ding" sound rang in his mind:

[Du Tinglan's favorability decreased by 25%, current success rate: 55%]

[Mu Ling'er's favorability has decreased by 33%, current conquest level is 46%]

[Su Miao's favorability decreased by 12%, current conquest progress -5%]

[Host must successfully win over a bound fairy within three months, or the host will be eliminated!]
