In just a moment!

Zhao Yuwei had already made up her mind that she would bear all the blame herself.

"Senior sister, where are you going?"

Zhao Yuwei's unusual behavior prompted Xiao Feng to grab her wrist and hold it firmly like an iron clamp.

“Junior brother, the person was injured on our peak after all. I am the senior sister of Qingfeng. With our master away, I am the one in charge. I need to give Shenjian Peak an explanation!”

"Impossible!" As expected, Xiao Feng refused: "Senior Sister, I requested that this formation be set up, and I also requested that the spirit stones be collected. It has nothing to do with you!"

"Stop talking nonsense! You've only been here a few days, you can't handle such a big responsibility!"

Zhao Yuwei was determined to do things her own way, so Xiao Feng might as well give in a little.

"Senior sister, no matter how many days I've been here, I'm still a member of Qingfeng. It's just a pity that I haven't seen Master yet!"

After saying that, Xiao Feng cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Shi Lei, his eyes filled with endless apology.

"Senior brother, take me away! I'm willing to die for Senior Brother Ning!"

Shi Lei stared intently at the two with a gloomy face. Zhao Yuwei was still dissatisfied and even started begging for death from Xiao Feng.

"hehe!"

This scene made Shi Lei laugh, and the eerie, chilling laughter left the two of them stunned.

"Senior brother, take me away!"

Xiao Feng repeated it again, and Shi Lei laughed even more wildly.

"Stop acting! You've injured my Divine Sword Peak disciples, and neither of you will escape!"

Shi Lei pushed the two aside, knelt down on the ground with a gentle expression, and picked up Ning Ziming, who had already lost all life.

"Senior brother, I'll take you home!"

After Shi Lei finished speaking, he prepared to leave. Seeing this, Zhao Yuwei felt even more guilty.

"Junior brother, I'll go back with you. If you go back like this, it might trigger the mountain's protective formation, and then..."

Shi Lei sneered, his icy gaze fixed on Zhao Yuwei.

"No need for Senior Sister to worry. At most, I'll just have to contribute a few more spirit stones, which I can afford!"

Having said that, his figure disappeared above the mountain peak.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng frowned slightly.

Was I wrong?

At this moment, he truly began to doubt himself. The resources on the mountain were being exploited by others for nothing; no one would be willing to accept that.

If this leads to someone's death, is it still my fault?

"Senior sister, I'll take full responsibility for this!"

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Feng slowly raised his head, his eyes becoming even more resolute.

Xiao Feng knew the sect's rules; he couldn't escape responsibility for harming fellow disciples, but he would never implicate Zhao Yuwei.

"Junior brother, from now on you will stay on Qingfeng Peak. Unless I come looking for you, you are not allowed to come out, no matter who it is!"

Seeing that Zhao Yuwei was about to leave, Xiao Feng grabbed his senior sister's arm again.

"Senior sister, what are you planning to do?"

"My master and the sect leader have some connections. I'll go ask him for help and see if it's possible..."

As she said this, a hint of sadness flashed in Zhao Yuwei's eyes. It was her master's friendship. Although she was the senior sister of Qingfeng, how could she possibly be worthy of such a relationship?

"Senior sister, I'll go with you!"

After thinking about it, Xiao Feng felt more and more that this matter had nothing to do with him or even Qing Feng.

Ning Ziming is courting death!

Having figured out this logic, Xiao Feng naturally wouldn't let Zhao Yuwei take the blame for this matter.

What are you going to do?

Zhao Yu glanced at him, but seeing Xiao Feng's attitude, she sighed and agreed.

"Go ahead, but Senior Sister has already said that you're not allowed to say anything out of line when you see the Sect Leader!"

The two took to the air and headed straight for the main peak.

Speaking of Shi Lei.

After emptying his last spirit stone, Shi Lei finally saw the group from Divine Sword Peak who were cutting bamboo.

"Junior brother, what's going on? Where's Senior Brother Ning?"

Jiang Zhen watched Shi Lei descend the mountain, carrying a dark, indistinct object in his arms, and couldn't help but approach out of curiosity.

He had seen the commotion on the mountain just now, and his heart skipped a beat.

The moment Shi Lei saw Jiang Zhen, all the strength seemed to drain from his body, and he went limp.

What she was holding in her arms was now scattered on the ground.

"Senior brother!"

He cried out, and then tears streamed down his face!

Everyone present was stunned, stopping what they were doing and turning their gazes to Shi Lei.

Keen insight!

They noticed the pile of charred remains...

He's a person!

Jiang Zhen took two steps forward and saw the shape of the charred remains. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Senior Brother Ning, he...he..."

"Senior Brother Ning is dead!"

Shi Lei cried out with a face full of resentment, as if he had lost the most important person in his life.

Ning Zimo!

Dead?

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of Divine Sword Peak gathered around. In their view, it was impossible for anyone on this Qing Peak to kill their senior brother.

Even Zhao Yuwei could only force them into a retreat at best, beating them into their current state.

How exactly was this done?

Looking at the man who was already unrecognizable, Jiang Zhen forced himself to calm down, grabbed Shi Lei and pulled him up, slapping him hard across the face.

"Calm down, what's wrong with Senior Brother!"

This slap really woke Shi Lei up!

Shi Lei also controlled his emotions and told everyone what had just happened on the mountain.

"Senior brother, it was Xiao Feng from Qingfeng, and Zhao Yuwei! They were the two of them who manipulated the formation to kill you!"

"It's all because of them!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples on Divine Sword Peak were completely outraged. They drew their longswords and began shouting.

How can we tolerate this?

"Senior brother, lead us up the mountain and fight our way to the top! One life for another!"

"They destroyed his Qingfeng Peak, and now these two people want to stand on such a large patch of lush bamboo? What gives them the right?"

"That's right, let's rush up and kill them to get revenge!"

The crowd was instantly agitated. Shi Lei wiped the mess off his face, gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and looked toward the mountain behind him.

"Senior brother, lead us to attack!"

At this critical moment, Jiang Zhen still maintained a high level of rationality.

Ning Ziming is his third senior brother, whose strength and talent far surpass his own. Even he was beaten to this state, so how could he possibly win?

"Enough! Put away your weapons!"

What?

The disciples of Divine Sword Peak were very puzzled. Someone had already died, were they just going to swallow their anger like this?

"Senior brother, they killed Senior Brother Ning!"

"That's right, senior brother, are we just going to let it go like this?"

Shi Lei was even more furious. His original intention was to find someone to take charge, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.
