Unbeknownst to him, he had been staying at Qingquan River for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Looking at the sky, the elder couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that he could hold on inside for so long."
"It seems that this boy really might obtain the so-called Mountain and River Sword."
Feng Luo listened to the elders' words with displeasure, wishing he could refute them.
Unfortunately, his status did not allow him to respond; instead, he looked at Xiao Feng in the Clear Spring River with a resentful expression.
At this moment, Xiao Feng felt that what he saw was becoming increasingly blurry, and even his own consciousness was becoming extremely blurred.
If it weren't for that unwavering conviction in his heart, he would have been swallowed by the icy spring water.
Feng Luo watched Xiao Feng continue walking forward from afar, feeling extremely anxious. He condensed a small white dot in one hand and launched it towards Xiao Feng.
Although the white spiritual energy was very weak, the sect leader still sensed the fluctuation and suddenly turned to look at Feng Luo.
When he realized that the sect leader's eyes were fixed on him, he quickly lowered his head.
Soon, the white spiritual energy ball struck Xiao Feng's back, making his already blurred consciousness even more blurred.
Just as he was about to faint, he suddenly realized that something was wrapped around his feet.
The pain in his body vanished into thin air, allowing his consciousness to return to his body.
With his mind clear, Xiao Feng glanced at his surroundings and realized that he had arrived in the middle of the Clear Spring River.
Just as he was about to continue walking forward, something under his feet exerted force out of thin air and pulled him violently into the Clear Spring River.
Upon seeing Xiao Feng fall into the water, the sect leader and elders immediately stood up from their positions.
The sect leader originally planned to enter the Clear Spring River to rescue people, but who knew that Xiao Feng had already disappeared into the Clear Spring River without even a ripple, and had no idea where he was.
The elders looked at each other, bewildered: "What... happened?"
With Xiao Feng's strength, he had no ability to disappear into thin air right in front of them; there must be something in the Clear Spring River.
The sect leader suddenly turned his gaze to Feng Luo, only to find him staring at Qingquan River with a look of astonishment on his face, as if he hadn't done what had just happened.
Originally, the sect leader intended to reveal the matter of the white spiritual energy cluster, but she was worried that other disciples would say she was abusing her power for personal gain, so she temporarily buried the matter in her heart.
However, Xiao Feng's disappearance definitely needs an explanation. The sect leader said to the elder beside him, "Summon Feng Luo to see the sect."
The elders exchanged glances: "This matter probably has nothing to do with Feng Luo."
Before the elders could finish speaking, the sect leader continued, "I want you to bring Feng Luo here."
This time, her tone was filled with anger, which made the elders dare not resist, and they all walked towards Feng Luo's direction.
At this moment, Feng Luo's lackey came to Feng Luo's side and said: "Senior Brother's move is brilliant. It eliminates future troubles and makes him die in Qingquan River."
The other lackeys immediately began to flatter him: "That's right, how could such a wise man as Senior Brother let Xiao Feng return so easily?"
When the eldest brother heard their voices, he snapped out of his daze and glared at them: "Don't talk nonsense, this has nothing to do with me."
He asked himself if he had actually done anything, and he himself had just recovered from the shock.
Just then, the elder came to Feng Luo and said, "The sect leader requests your presence."
When Feng Luo learned that the sect leader was looking for him, his face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
He knew the sect leader must have seen his little tricks, but the part that followed was not something he did at all.
In just ten breaths, the elder brought Feng Luo to the sect leader.
Upon seeing Feng Luo's movements, the disciples couldn't help but start discussing: "Do you think... did Senior Brother do this? The two of them have always been enemies."
"It's hard to say. We all know that Senior Brother and Xiao Feng have a grudge, but he probably wouldn't make a move here, would he?"
Hearing the disciples' discussions around him, his face was so gloomy it was almost frightening. He gritted his teeth and said, "No one has ever been able to reach the middle of the Clear Spring River. He must be jealous."
If their guesses are true, then Feng Luo has incurred public wrath.
The Qing Sect finally had a prodigy disciple, but he was killed by Feng Luo in the middle of the Qingquan River.
In order to find out the truth, they squeezed through the crowd to the position where the sect leader was facing.
Suddenly, someone who shouldn't be there was spotted, and exclaimed in surprise, "Xu Qing'er? What are you doing here?"
Xu Qing'er looked at Feng Luo below the sect leader with a face full of anger: "Feng Luo actually used such methods to deal with Xiao Feng."
Having been by Feng Luo's side for many years, how could she not know who Feng Luo really was?
Xiao Feng's sudden disappearance at Qingquan River must have been due to an external attack.
Otherwise, even if he couldn't force his way across the Qingquan River, I believe there shouldn't be much of a problem with him returning.
Seeing that many disciples were interested in Xiao Feng's disappearance, the sect leader pointed at Feng Luo and said, "Shouldn't you give the sect and the disciples an explanation for Xiao Feng's disappearance?"
People around raised their hands: "Yes, you have to give us an explanation as to why Xiao Feng disappeared inexplicably in the Qingquan River."
In their eyes, the mere sight of their feet resting on the Clear Spring River was enough to cause them unbearable pain.
Now that Xiao Feng is completely submerged in the Qingquan River, almost no one believes he has the ability to survive.
As Feng Luo listened to them placing the blame on him, his face was full of bitterness: "I really didn't do anything to him, you have to believe me, I really didn't."
The elder beside him watched Feng Luo try his best to explain and sneered, "Do you think we old folks are blind?"
With just one reminder, he realized that all the elders had discovered his act of releasing spiritual energy.
In an instant, Feng Luo knelt on the ground: "I do have a grudge against him, but I can't let the sect lose a genius disciple. At most, I just want to punish him."
Just then, an elder came to the sect leader's side, frowned, and said, "Sect leader, he doesn't seem to be lying. Could there be a misunderstanding?"
The other elders came to the sect leader and said, "I think that although Feng Luo is bad, he would not kill his own disciples. Could it be that there is something strange about the Clear Spring River?"
Since the founding of the Qingzong Sect, no one has been able to reach the middle of the Qingquan River, and naturally no one has seen where the Shanhe Sword is hidden.
The sect leader, seeing the elders around him speaking up for Feng Luo, pondered for a moment, then stared intently at Feng Luo: "Could it be that you really didn't do this?"
Feng Luo shook his head repeatedly: "I don't have that much ability. The place he is in is Qingquan River."
Upon hearing this, many disciples present nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have the ability."
