In Kunmen Square, all the disciples who had been teleported out returned to their respective peaks.

Some disciples, when they were teleported out of the stone gate, did not return to the area of ​​their respective mountain peaks, but instead went directly to other peaks, seemingly because there had been quite a few frictions during the struggle for spiritual veins in the underground space.

For a time, Kunmen Square was noisy with people shouting and cursing.

"quiet!"

After the North Peak Master Wan Chang gave a light rebuke, his confident voice immediately echoed throughout the entire square.

The previously noisy Kunmen Square instantly fell silent, as if the Kunmen disciples were deeply wary of this old man.

After a slight ripple appeared in Kunmen Square, Yun Lei, wearing a long robe with a red top and white crane, glanced at the location of Hua Jin and the others with a light wave of his sleeve, and then a strange smile appeared on his lips.

Hua Jin also noticed Yun Lei's strange expression and felt something was wrong. She anxiously looked towards the rising stone gate, hoping to see Shui Qingxi and Qin Xin.

"Grandpa, it's a pity that only one spiritual vein was brought out."

After two figures appeared in front of the stone gate, they came directly to Yun Lei's side.

"oh?"

Looking at Yun Yi and Ji Ju, Yun Lei's thick eyebrows shot up, seemingly very dissatisfied with the result.

"...Shui Qingxi and Qin Xin were targeted by that Lava Giant Scorpion King, and they have probably died in that underground space."

Yunyi seemed to sense Yunlei's dissatisfaction and quickly stepped forward to speak.

Upon hearing this, Yun Lei smiled and looked at Hua Jin beside him, saying with a hint of schadenfreude, "Haha, it seems that Pavilion Master Hua has suffered a great loss. For the sake of a spiritual vein, she has lost a beloved disciple. My condolences."

"You old geezer, don't talk nonsense!"

Standing behind Hua Jin, Ya Ru immediately spoke up and cursed, clearly not believing what Yun Lei said.

Hua Jin reached out to stop Ya Ru, her brows furrowing suddenly. Qin Xin and Shui Qingxi had not yet appeared. Although she did not want to believe what Yun Lei said, looking at the smiles on Yun Yi and Ji Ju's faces, she thought that if something had happened to Qin Xin and Shui Qingxi, it must be related to the two people in front of her.

“Teacher, you said…”

At this moment, Qin Xue's eyes were already a little red. In this Eastern Wilderness Academy, Qin Xin was her only family, and Shui Qingxi was like her own sister. Upon hearing the news of their deaths, she was at a loss for what to do.

"Wait a little longer!"

Hua Jin spoke up to soothe Qin Xue's emotions.

However, the petal patterns on Hua Jin's forehead were now shimmering with light, as if a powerful force was about to burst forth.

Seeing this, Yun Lei stopped trying to provoke Hua Jin, seemingly afraid that she might break the seal at any cost, which would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

Just after Hua Jin's voice fell, two figures appeared in front of the stone gate. Instantly, the stone gate rippled, and several Kunmen disciples were directly ejected.

Then the stone pillars on the square slowly fell down, and the stone gate that had stood there also slowly sank down and gradually disappeared.

"Hmph! You old codger, Brother Qin Xin and Sister Shui are doing just fine!"

When Ya Ru saw the two figures appear, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she rolled her eyes at the location of Yun Lei and the others.

"How could this be!"

Seeing Qin Xin and Shui Qingxi's figures, Yun Yi's face immediately darkened, as did the other Yun Yi beside him, whose face was filled with disbelief, "How could they possibly escape from the Lava Giant Scorpion King!"

Yun Lei glanced at Yun Yi and Ji Ju, his eyes revealing displeasure, but he didn't say anything. His face was somewhat gloomy, as if he had some plans in mind.

After Qin Xin and Shui Qingxi came out, they glanced around at the Kunmen disciples who had all come out, and then walked towards Hua Jin's direction.

"teacher!"

"Aunt Hua!"

Two voices rang out one after the other.

"It's good that you're alright!" Looking at the two people in front of her, Hua Jin felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

Qin Xin glanced at Qin Xue behind him, whose eyes were red and had two tear streaks, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth. "Haha, it seems that Sister Xue still cares about me."

"Who cares about you? I care about Sister Qingxi!"

Qin Xue rolled her eyes and ran forward to hug Shui Qingxi's slender waist.

Qin Xin shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

Seeing this, Hua Jin and the others all wore smiles.

~~~~~~

"The battle for the spiritual veins is over. Each peak, now hand over the spiritual veins you possess!"

With a light step, the Eighth Elder flew straight back to the stone platform, followed closely by the other three peak masters.

"The four spiritual veins of the North Peak!"

Wan Chang, the peak master of the North Peak, looked at the spiritual veins in the hands of the disciples of the North Peak below and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Alright, Peak Master Wanchang, the spiritual vein in Wu Fa's hand is equivalent to several of those in the hands of other disciples. What else could you be dissatisfied with?"

Seeing Wan Chang's dissatisfied tone, Huang Yong, the peak master of the West Peak, spoke up directly.

"A spiritual vein in the South Peak!"

Looking at the disciples below, the South Peak Master Hao Li was clearly somewhat angry.

"The last time Nanfeng obtained three spiritual veins, they should be able to use them for a long time."

Huang Yong, the peak master of the West Peak, who was standing to the side, had not expected that the South Peak would only have one spiritual vein this time, so he spoke up to comfort him.

Upon hearing this, Hao Li, the peak master of Nanfeng, nodded, his anger seemingly subsiding considerably, but he still glared at the Nanfeng disciples below.

"Unexpectedly, the East Peak has actually obtained three spiritual veins this time," Huang Yong, the West Peak Master, said, then turned his gaze to Hua Jin and Yun Lei below. "One from the Flower Pavilion on the East Peak, eh? And the Thunder Pavilion only has one?"

After Huang Yong's questioning voice rang out, all the disciples of the Kun Sect looked towards the two pavilions on the East Peak. This was because each time they could bring out ten spiritual veins from the underground space, the West Peak only had two. If the East Peak also only had two, then there was still one spiritual vein left...

"There's another spiritual vein with me!"

After Qin Xin brought out the spiritual vein, he wanted to give it to Hua Jin, but he didn't expect to receive the same answer as Shui Qingxi, so he could only accept it with peace of mind.

"This spiritual vein...!"

"It's several times stronger than what Wu Fa has!"

After seeing the spiritual vein that Qin Xin took out from his bosom, and looking at the "dragon-shaped" object constantly surging within the jade-like sphere, some disciples exclaimed in surprise.

When Wu Fa saw the spiritual vein in Qin Xin's hand, his face instantly darkened. The aura of the spiritual vein felt very familiar to him. Although he had taken the spiritual vein from the Lava Giant Scorpion King, he always felt that the spiritual power of this spiritual vein was much weaker than what he had sensed before. At first, he did not take it seriously, but after sensing the spiritual vein in Qin Xin's hand, he immediately confirmed his guess!

The spiritual vein he sensed had been taken away by Qin Xin!

"Did you obtain this spiritual vein from the Lava Giant Scorpion King?!"

Wu Fa looked in the direction Qin Xin was and questioned him directly.

Rong Zhihe and Ye Langtian also looked at Qin Xin with some doubt in their eyes, because they could both sense that the spiritual vein in Qin Xin's hand was very familiar, and they could sense that aura at the location of the Lava Giant Scorpion King.

However, when Ye Langtian looked at Qin Xin, a smile appeared in his eyes, and the golden mark on his forehead flickered slightly.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

Hearing this sudden question, Qin Xin was naturally a little annoyed and replied.

"If so, then this spiritual vein naturally belongs to my North Peak! However, you can join North Peak to compensate for your loss."

Wu Fa spoke as if there was no room for negotiation, treating joining Beifeng as if it were a favor he was bestowing upon them.

The other disciples from the other peaks of the Kun Sect were all somewhat displeased to hear Wu Fa's domineering attitude, but they could only dare to be angry but not speak out in the face of the number one person in the Kun Sect.

The Eighth Elder and the three Peak Masters merely looked down calmly, as if observing what would happen next.

"I refuse!"

Qin Xin's answer was very straightforward.

The entire Kunmen sect was in an uproar, all admiring Qin Xin's courage. After all, the North Peak was currently the strongest in the Kunmen sect, and even if the South Peak and West Peak joined forces, they could not suppress the North Peak.

"Haha, this kid's got some interesting skills!"

Seeing the displeasure on the face of Wan Chang, the peak master of the North Peak, Hao Li, the peak master of the South Peak, burst out laughing. He completely forgot about the trouble that the South Peak only had one spiritual vein.

"snort!"

Wan Chang, the peak master of the North Peak, didn't even look at Hao Li, who had a smile on her face, but instead turned his gaze to Qin Xin below, letting out a soft rebuke.

Qin Xin also felt a chill run down his spine. He searched for the direction from which the aura was coming and happened to make eye contact with Wan Chang, the peak master of the North Peak. He could sense the ominous look in Wan Chang's eyes.

"Alright! The battle for the spiritual veins is over. Each peak should return and select a suitable location to infuse the spiritual veins into that peak."

The Eighth Elder's aged voice echoed throughout the Kunmen Square, and all the Kunmen disciples instantly fell silent. Even Wu Fa, who had been arrogant, dared not say a word.
