"Who are you, you coward, come out if you dare!"

Jun Xie's face was ashen as he roared at the surroundings.

Cangshan looked around warily. The person had made such a commotion, yet hadn't revealed their location.

There's not even a trace of it!

Empty-eyed, he glanced around. Although he didn't know who had just helped him, he knew they were probably not enemies.

A moment later, several figures appeared one after another about a hundred meters away from the three empty figures.

Upon seeing the appearance of the group, Jun Xie and Cang Shan's expressions turned extremely ugly.

They recognized these people; they were all elders from major sects who considered themselves righteous.

One of them was Ning Que, the Supreme Elder of the Backing Mountain Sect, which was closest to this place!

Ning Que's cultivation is unfathomable. Although he is just as close to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm as they are, his combat power is above theirs.

As for the others, they were also top experts who were infinitely close to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm.

Kongxu's expression immediately relaxed when he saw these people. He knew all of them, especially Ning Que, with whom he had some friendship.

Ning Que glanced at Jun Xie and Cang Shan, and said calmly, "You two, aren't you going to get lost? Do you want to perish here?"

Hearing Ning Que's words, Jun Xie and Cang Shan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although they were very unhappy with Ning Que's attitude, they remained silent and turned to leave in a sorry state.

"Brother Ning, why did you let these two demons leave?" Kongxu frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

If Ning Que and the others joined forces with him, they could completely eliminate Jun Xie and Cang Shan.

Ning Que glanced at Kong Xu and smiled. "Brother Kong Xu, these two demons aren't so easy to kill."

"They've been able to commit evil for so many years and still be alive, they must have some means of survival!"

"Furthermore, if we push them to the brink and they do something crazy, it might disturb the fellow cultivator who is currently breaking through, right?"

Upon hearing Ning Que's explanation, Kong Xu and the others nodded in agreement.

Indeed, neither Cangshan nor Junxie are easy to deal with. Unless you can catch them off guard, it will be difficult to kill them.

"By the way!" Ning Que asked, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the empty space. "Who is breaking through? Is it her?"

Kongxu knew that the "she" Ning Que was referring to was Su Liyue, and he immediately shook his head. "Not Yueyue, just a friend of mine!"

Ning Que had no doubts; on the contrary, he became even more curious. "Who is that?"

Kongxu hesitated for a moment, then replied, "You probably don't recognize me!"

Ning Que raised an eyebrow slightly, asking curiously, "Is he breaking through to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm?"

Kongxu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to answer truthfully. "No! He is only at the peak of the Ancestral Emperor Realm, and is currently breaking through to the Primordial Saint Emperor Realm!"

"What?" Ning Que and the others stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"How is it possible that breaking through from the Ancestral Emperor Realm to the Primordial Saint Emperor Realm could cause such a huge commotion?"

"Brother Empty, are you kidding us?"

"Yes, even if someone breaks through to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, it's unlikely to cause such a commotion, right?"

Kong Xu glanced at Ning Que and the others, then said earnestly, "Fellow Daoists, I'm really not joking!"

"My friend is incredibly strong; even when I exert all my strength, I am no match for him!"

To convince Ning Que and the others, Kong Xu recounted in detail the events of his battle with Qin Feng a month and a half prior.

Ning Que and the others looked at each other in disbelief.

You must know, Kongxu's strength is obvious to all!

He is definitely one of the top experts in the first tier among those of the same level.

How could such a powerful figure say that even if he used all his strength, he could not defeat a guy who was only at the peak of the Ancestral Emperor Realm?

This is truly unbelievable!

However, despite their doubts and suspicions, everyone knew that this incident was undoubtedly quite embarrassing for Kongxu.

Given his empty personality and way of dealing with people, it seems there's really no reason for him to fabricate such a lie to deceive them.

Ning Que frowned deeply, staring intently at the emptiness, and asked with curiosity and eagerness, "Just who is this person? Why have I never heard you mention him before?"

Kongxu replied, "I've only known him for a short time. Once he successfully breaks through, I can introduce him to you!"

Hearing Kong Xu's words, Ning Que didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and remained silent, looking at the great formation that enveloped the Valley of Forgetfulness.

Kongxu glanced at Ning Que and couldn't help but frown.

He suddenly remembered that Qin Feng had followed Su Liyue a month and a half ago, and that Qin Feng's son was Su Liyue's personal disciple.

Therefore, he deduced that Qin Feng should be hiding in the Kao Shan Sect.

Ning Que is the Supreme Elder of the Backing Mountain Sect. He was worried that Ning Que might have met Qin Feng, which might cause trouble for Qin Feng.

Just as Kongxu was hesitating about whether to try to trick Ning Que into leaving, the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky suddenly dissipated.

At the same moment, a terrifying aura, as if from the deepest hell, burst forth from the depths of the Valley of Forgetfulness, piercing through the layers of the great formation like a surging tide.

The first to feel this terrifying aura was the emptiness. He was stunned as if struck by lightning, his face filled with disbelief.

However, just a moment later, his astonished face was replaced by uncontrollable ecstasy.

His eyes widened, his whole body trembled with excitement, and he murmured to himself, "He...he succeeded in breaking through!"

Ning Que and the others nearby also immediately sensed this extremely terrifying aura.

In an instant, everyone's expression turned extremely solemn, their eyes filled with deep shock and awe.

Prior to this, although Ning Que had described Qin Feng's unfathomable strength to everyone on several occasions, some people still had doubts and thought that Ning Que might have exaggerated.

But at this moment, when they personally felt this powerful aura that was so strong it was suffocating, all their doubts vanished instantly.

Judging from this aura alone, Qin Feng's strength has clearly far surpassed that of everyone present.

"hiss"

Ning Que and the others gasped in unison, asking in unison, "Just who is he?"

Just then, Qin Feng flew out of the great formation and arrived in front of Kongxu in the blink of an eye.

"Well done, I'll remember this favor!"

Qin Feng patted his empty shoulder and then said, "I have something to do, I have to go. I'll come find you in a while!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng turned around and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
