“My divine sense is being suppressed,” Zi Yue said.

"It's the Mysterious Pagoda that's been activated. Our Xuanji Sect's Mysterious Pagoda is a defensive magic weapon, and it's what's interfering with and suppressing the spiritual senses of all the martial artists in the back mountain," Chang Qingyue explained.

"I see."

Zi Yue nodded, a look of understanding on her face.

Just then, a hurricane suddenly swept in, bringing with it thick smoke and dust!

"Be careful, this isn't ordinary smoke and dust; it can block divine sense!" Chang Qingyue shouted.

As she spoke, Chang Qingyue had already fallen from the sky and landed on the ground.

The same goes for Purple Moon and Night Wind.

The three stood back to back, warily observing their surroundings.

It took quite a while for the thick smoke and dust to finally dissipate.

However, no enemies appeared in the vicinity.

Chang Qingyue looked around but found nothing, so a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Zi Yue frowned and asked, "What happened just now? Did someone attack us?"

“Someone must have used martial arts techniques to obscure our divine sense,” Chang Qingyue said.

"Why did they do this? They clearly blocked our divine sense perception, but they didn't attack us. What are they trying to do?" Zi Yue felt confused, and a nameless anger rose in her heart.

Ye Feng said, "Senior Brother Chang, Senior Sister Zi Yue, could it be that their target isn't to attack us at all, but to steal our Five Elements Spirit Pearls?"

“That’s possible,” Ziyue nodded.

Ye Feng then said, "Then let's quickly check to see if the Five Elements Spirit Pearl is on us."

Just as Ziyue was about to speak, Chang Qingyue suddenly grabbed Ziyue's shoulder, pulled her and pushed her away a dozen meters to keep her distance from Yefeng.

"Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" Ye Feng asked Chang Qingyue.

"How long are you planning to keep up this act?" Chang Qingyue said.

"I don't understand what you're saying," Ye Feng said, looking puzzled.

Zi Yue also said, "Yes, senior brother, you've confused me completely."

Chang Qingyue said heavily, "Ziyue, haven't you noticed the problem yet? That Yefeng isn't the real Yefeng; someone has switched him out!"

Upon hearing Chang Qingyue's words, Ziyue's expression changed drastically.

“The Five Elements Spirit Pearl was clearly on him, yet he didn’t know whether it had been stolen. Instead, he made us check it. That’s his biggest weakness!” Chang Qingyue continued.

Zi Yue immediately realized what was happening, and then looked at Ye Feng warily, saying, "So, you actually dared to impersonate Ye Feng and deceive us!"

"Senior Brother Chang, Senior Sister Ziyue, you've misunderstood me. I just made a slip of the tongue in the heat of the moment," Ye Feng quickly said.

“If that’s the case, then prove that you are Ye Feng,” Chang Qingyue said.

"I am who I am, do I need to prove that?" Night Wind retorted angrily.

"Why can't I prove it? Junior brother, you say you are Ye Feng, then show me the power of the Mi Tian Xing Dou Sword. In the entire Xuanji Sect, there are only a handful of people who have cultivated the Mi Tian Xing Dou Sword and comprehended the Mi Tian Xing Hai! Since that's the case, then demonstrate the Mi Tian Xing Hai now. If you can do it, then of course I'll believe you!" Chang Qingyue said without any politeness.

Ye Feng stared at Chang Qingyue and Zi Yue for a while, then suddenly grinned: "Senior Brother Chang, it's really not easy to fool you. I just didn't expect that the Five Elements Spirit Pearl would be with that Ye Feng. Ye Feng is the weakest of the three of you. Aren't you afraid that someone will steal the Five Elements Spirit Pearl from him?"

“That’s what they call ‘the darkest place is under the lamp,’” Chang Qingyue said.

The next moment, Ye Feng's form changed.

A beam of white light shone from his body, and when the light subsided, he had transformed into a young man with a single ponytail.

“So it was you, Junior Brother Lü He,” Chang Qingyue said.

Lu He is an inner disciple of the Xuanji Sect, and is in the mid-stage of the True Yuan Realm.

Now that he's revealed his true colors, it's clear he's about to get serious.

"Senior Brother Chang, it's three against two now, let's see how you win!"

As soon as Lu He finished speaking, he pounced on Chang Qingyue, a long, curved blade appearing in his hand.

At the same time, two more people emerged from the ground behind Chang Qingyue and Ziyue, both wielding curved blades.

As soon as they appeared, they swung their curved swords and slashed at Chang Qingyue and Ziyue's legs!

"There are enemies behind us!" Ziyue shouted.

"I know, I've been on guard against them for a long time."

As Chang Qingyue spoke, she raised her left hand and cast a restriction.

This restriction was called the Mysterious Heavenly Sacred Shield. After it was formed, it turned into two pale golden shields that stood beside Chang Qingyue and Ziyue, protecting them.

The Xuan Tian Holy Shield's defensive power isn't that strong, because it's just an ordinary second-grade restriction.

So the two inner disciples of the Xuanji Sect who emerged from the ground had their curved blades struck the Xuantian Holy Shield, but were blocked for a moment before the Xuantian Holy Shield finally shattered.

With that brief moment of obstruction, Chang Qingyue and Ziyue immediately jumped away, dodging the two men's sneak attack.

“Junior Brother Lü He, you are as cunning as ever. Your attack was just bait to attract our attention. The real killing move is Junior Sister Wu Caifeng and Junior Brother Li Yudong,” Chang Qingyue said with a smile.

Lu He sneered, "So what if you saw through me? Senior Brother Chang, Senior Sister Ziyue is only at the peak of the Separation and Union Realm, while you are the only one at the True Essence Realm. The three of us are all at the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm. The two of you are no match for us!"

Chang Qingyue shook her head and said, "You underestimate me. Even if the three of you combined, you still couldn't beat me, so I don't need Junior Sister Ziyue's help at all."

"You're too arrogant, Senior Brother Chang!"

Lü He shouted and, together with Wu Caifeng and Li Yudong, attacked Chang Qingyue.

"Where is the night breeze?" Chang Qingyue asked.

"I'll tell you once I defeat you!" Lu He sneered.

"Since you, Junior Brother Lü He, are so stubborn, then don't blame me for being impolite."

After Chang Qingyue finished speaking, he flicked his right hand, and the Life and Death Tribulation Sword appeared in his hand.

As Chang Qingyue struck with his sword, a dark gray sword aura erupted from the blade, hurtling towards Lü He, Wu Caifeng, and Li Yudong.

This sword technique is the first move of the Extinction Sword Manual – the Extinction Qi Sword.

Lu He, Wu Caifeng, and Li Yudong swung their magical weapons to block, but as soon as they made contact, they felt as if all the true energy in their bodies had vanished in an instant.

The next moment, they were slashed by Chang Qingyue's sword energy, and bright red blood gushed out from the wounds, falling to the ground like a field of blooming red flowers.

Thump!

Lu He knelt on the ground, his face pale.

Thump thump!

Wu Caifeng and Li Yudong were even more embarrassed and collapsed to the ground in a sorry state.
