Why are you talking so much nonsense?

Qin Feng retorted sarcastically, "If you were confident you could kill me, would you be wasting your breath talking to me?"

"You must be very afraid of me to be saying all this nonsense, right?"

"Don't deny it!"

Instead of denying it, you might as well just take action!

"By the way, if you're too scared to spar with me one-on-one, then call the three of you next to you!"

"I can still kill four mere half-step Heavenly Emperors!"

They're incredibly arrogant!

The girl laughed in fury. "Very good! Very good!"

"I have lived for ten thousand years and have never met such an arrogant person."

"Young man, you have successfully angered me!"

"Then let me see your strength!"

At this point, the girl looked at the three old monsters. "You don't need to interfere!"

"Anyone who dares to interfere is going against me!"

One of the round-faced men frowned. "Mengxi, aren't you being a bit too presumptuous?"

"We must not be careless when dealing with this junior; Fellow Daoist Yu is a cautionary tale!"

Mengxi snorted coldly. "I won't underestimate my opponent!"

"I want to teach this kid a lesson: don't be so arrogant!"

The round-faced man opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

Things have come to this point, and there's no way things can end well unless they leave.

But after so many years of seclusion, they have finally seen hope of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, so how could they give up so easily?

He won't give up, and Mengxi won't give up either.

Mengxi's gaze returned to Qin Feng, just as she was about to make her move.

The vortex of spiritual energy in the sky suddenly dissipated, and Zi Yun's aura rapidly weakened, returning to the peak level of an Immortal Emperor.

The breakthrough attempt failed as expected!

Mengxi frowned slightly, looking at Ziyun with surprise and uncertainty.

She was weighing in her mind whether it was still necessary to take the risk.

Although she doesn't seem to care much about Qin Feng on the surface, she is actually quite wary of him.

Now that Zi Yun has failed to break through, the method may not be effective for her.

Is it worth the risk to continue taking action?

The three round-faced men all frowned; their feelings had been complicated.

They wanted to see Zi Yun succeed in her breakthrough, but they were also a little worried that she might fail.

If they succeed, they will have no chance of learning the breakthrough method from Zi Yun.

If the breakthrough method failed, was Zi Yun's approach effective?

Is it worth risking their lives to become enemies with Qin Feng and Zi Yun?

Although Zi Yun failed to break through, her strength was not much weaker than theirs.

In their minds, Zi Yun was even more difficult to deal with than Qin Feng.

Although Qin Feng had anticipated that Zi Yun might fail, he was still somewhat disappointed when he actually saw her fail to break through.

Even Zi Yun failed, so will he succeed in the future?

He didn't think his talent was better than Zi Yun's.

Qingluan and the others looked disappointed; they all desperately hoped that Ziyun could successfully break through.

Because if Zi Yun succeeds in breaking through, then they will also have the opportunity to succeed in breaking through in the future.

Now that Ziyun has failed, they all feel as if they themselves have failed, and they are very upset.

Zi Yun slowly stood up, sighed with disappointment, and then flashed to Qin Feng's side.

She looked at Mengxi and said calmly, "I'm in a bad mood right now. Let's fight!"

Mengxi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's all a misunderstanding. I'll leave now!"

Before Zi Yun could react, Meng Xi tore open a spatial rift and flashed into the void.

At the same time, the three round-faced men also tore open a spatial rift and flashed into the void.

Qin Feng and Zi Yun were both stunned.

Aren't these people far too cowardly?

But thinking about it, they understood.

These people are all reclusive big shots. If they weren't timid, how could they have survived to this day?

They may have already died under the tribulation of lifespan lightning.

To put it bluntly, these so-called reclusive bigwigs are just a bunch of cowards.

In order to continue to survive, they would rather live in seclusion and avoid any trouble.

Qingluan and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all came to Qin Feng and Ziyun.

"Zi Yun, why did you fail to break through?"

"Your aura was clearly at its peak just now, and you absorbed so much spiritual energy from heaven and earth!"

"Logically, you should have been able to break through successfully, right?"

Zi Yun frowned slightly, her expression shifting between light and shadow as she remained silent for a moment before speaking with some uncertainty.

"I suspect it's very likely because my understanding of the laws hasn't reached perfection yet!"

"Because breaking through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Emperor Realm requires the use of the power of laws, and my power of laws can only make the bottleneck appear slightly."

Upon hearing Zi Yun's words, Qing Luan and the others all showed joy.

"Doesn't that mean that as long as the power of the laws reaches perfection, there is a very high chance of successfully breaking through?"

"Doesn't that mean the more power of the laws one possesses, the easier it is to succeed in the breakthrough?"

Zi Yun smiled wryly. "Logically, that should be the case, but whether it is or not, we still need to verify it slowly."

Qingluan curled her lip dismissively. "As long as you have a goal, that's enough!"

"It's better than before, when we had absolutely no leads!"

The others nodded in agreement; having hope was better than having no hope at all.

Qin Feng glanced at the crowd and waved his hand, saying, "Disperse!"

Upon hearing this, many people turned and left.

Those who signed master-servant contracts with Qin Feng only withdrew from the airspace of the Beiming Immortal Sect; they did not leave.

Their trip was actually drawn by the commotion caused by Zi Yun's breakthrough; they planned to watch the excitement and then leave immediately.

But now they have all changed their minds and intend to stay and follow Qin Feng.

The reason, of course, is that they all saw the hope of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

As Qin Feng's servants, it's reasonable for them to stay, right?

Ling Xueyan showed no intention of leaving. She looked at Qin Feng and asked, "May I speak with you in private?"

Qin Feng glanced at Zi Yun beside him, then nodded.

Ling Xueyan didn't say anything more and turned to flee towards the back mountain of the Beiming Immortal Sect.

Qin Feng greeted Zi Yun and immediately followed her.

As Zi Yun watched Qin Feng and Ling Xueyan's departing figures, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her beautiful eyes flickered with worry.

Ling Xueyan gave her the impression that she was not simple, and she was a little worried that Qin Feng would suffer a loss.

If it weren't for the importance of Ling Xueyan to Qin Feng, she would have killed Ling Xueyan long ago.

To completely eliminate any future troubles!

Ling Xueyan landed by a small lake on the back mountain, and Qin Feng followed closely behind.

"What's the matter?" Qin Feng asked directly, without beating around the bush.

Ling Xueyan stared at Qin Feng for a while, hesitating to speak, until she saw Qin Feng's impatient expression before she finally spoke.

"Qin Feng, I want to leave!"

"I hope you'll let me leave, considering we're both from Earth!"

Qin Feng frowned; he hadn't expected Ling Xueyan to make such a request.

To be honest, he didn't want Ling Xueyan to leave his side.

He had always suspected that this woman knew a way to return to Earth, but for some reason she hadn't told him the truth.
