Li Dehua and his son exchanged a glance, but no one responded to his words.
It seems that the two of them have come to regard each other as enemies.
Seeing that they were unwilling to respond to him, Xiao Feng shouted loudly to those around him: "All disciples, listen to my command, form the formation."
The people around him were all disciples of the Qing Sect, so they naturally had the ability to use the Qing Sect's formations.
When the people around heard that Xiao Feng needed their help, the Qingzong Qi Refining Technique erupted from their bodies, and everyone went to their positions.
Li Dehua had never seen such an exquisite formation before; there was no way to break through their defenses from any angle.
Seeing that Li Dehua was unable to break the formation, the man unleashed all the spiritual power of a third-level cultivator within him, striking the formation fiercely.
Don't be fooled by the fact that most of the Qingzong disciples are only at the first or second tier; once their formations are activated, they can completely intercept third-tier cultivators.
In just ten breaths, the man returned to Li Dehua, his face grave: "It seems that not only can't you break their turtle shell, but I can't either."
He originally thought he could easily break the formation with his strength as a third-level cultivator, but no one expected that the Qingzong disciples didn't even show the slightest sign of fatigue.
In Xiao Feng's eyes, if a man's strength reached the seventh or eighth level, it would be possible to break their formation.
Unfortunately, he didn't have that kind of strength, so he could only obediently stay inside and had no ability to get out.
Xiao Feng walked up to them, a smile on his face, and asked one last time, "Who are your masters?"
Now, they are trapped inside the formation themselves, meaning only they have the ability to release them.
Xiao Feng originally thought that the two would reveal some information, but to everyone's surprise, neither of them was willing to reveal any information at all.
Suddenly, the man's eyes changed. He stared intently at the people around him who were casting the array, and the spiritual energy within his body began to fluctuate violently.
Those around Shen Qingchen, who were closer to the man, immediately noticed the abnormality within him, their eyes widening in shock: "This...this..."
Xiao Feng sensed something was wrong with the man inside the formation. He took a closer look at him and was surprised to find that the man actually wanted to die together with him.
The two had only just met, and there was no reason for things to have come to this.
Xiao Feng was terrified that he would unleash the spiritual energy within his body, which would surely result in heavy casualties among the Qing Sect disciples.
In an instant, he appeared before the two men: "If you surrender, I can guarantee with my life that I will not kill you."
When Li Dehua heard Xiao Feng give them a guarantee, he subconsciously glanced at the man, as if wanting to see what choice the man would make.
The man glanced at Li Dehua and frowned slightly.
He would never have used such a method if he hadn't been unable to leave.
Seeing the looks in their eyes, Xiao Feng assumed he had convinced them and quickly continued, "You should trust me."
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, the man took a deep breath and gradually calmed down the spiritual energy within his body.
Before he could even catch his breath, the man's men approached them: "We can't let them go. They're just trying to appease you so it'll be easier to take action."
The others nodded in agreement: "Yes, as long as we withdraw the spiritual energy from our bodies, they might make a move and won't give us a chance at all."
Xiao Feng thought he had appeased them, but no one expected that someone in the crowd would actually cause trouble.
In an instant, the man was persuaded by them again, and strands of spiritual energy were released from his body.
If his temper becomes even slightly unstable, the spiritual energy within his body may suddenly explode.
Seeing the man's anxious expression, Xiao Feng quickly said, "Even if you don't think about us, you should think about the people around you."
Now, Li Dehua is also inside the formation.
The spiritual energy left behind by their self-destruction doesn't care about their identities; Li Dehua inside could also suffer a fatal blow.
Hearing Xiao Feng constantly trying to persuade the people inside, someone nearby couldn't help but say, "That's right, we're only surrounding you, not killing you. Don't you know what we're thinking?"
If they had even the slightest murderous intent, none of the people inside would be so comfortable.
After they took turns persuading him, the man dispersed his spiritual energy again, without saying a word, and looked away.
Just then, the man who had been trying to persuade the man stepped forward again: "You must not listen to their instigation, otherwise we will have no chance to fight back."
Xiao Feng was furious that he had always stood against him, but he couldn't do anything rash.
Otherwise, the man is very likely to take action, after all, he is like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.
The two people around, Shen Qingchen and Zhou Wei, watched the man struggling inside, their faces full of helplessness.
The two of them had no choice but to leave, otherwise the formation they had worked so hard to create would be lost.
Everyone's eyes were on Xiao Feng, as if they wanted to see if he could persuade the man.
At this moment, Xiao Feng wished he could walk into the formation and twist the man's arm off so that he would no longer be able to make a sound.
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a commotion arose at the entrance of the city lord's mansion.
General Xiao's subordinate ran in from the door, glanced at Xiao Feng with a serious expression, and said, "Young Master, someone is trying to force their way into the City Lord's Mansion."
Their men had already sealed off the main gate of the city lord's mansion, but no one expected that there would be other people coming from outside.
When Xiao Feng learned that someone outside was planning to break in, he subconsciously glanced in Xiao Heng's direction and asked, "Just how many enemies does our Xiao family have?"
If it weren't for this trip back, he would have always thought that the Xiao family was the most powerful and influential family in the City That Never Sleeps.
No one expected that the Xiao family would be blocked at the gate by others, and they couldn't even leave the house.
When Xiao Feng asked him a question, Xiao Heng looked confused and said, "The people at the door might be their people. Our Xiao family only has them as our enemies."
When Xiao Feng learned that the people at the door were also their men, he couldn't help but say to General Xiao, "Recall all your men as soon as possible, otherwise they will suffer heavy casualties."
Since both the man and Li Dehua possess spiritual power, it is believed that the people at the door also possess their own spiritual power.
In contrast, General Xiao's men were just ordinary guards; if they were left to watch the gate, they would very likely die outside.
To avoid unnecessary losses, the most appropriate choice is to simply call everyone at the door back.
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, General Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "I'll have them come back immediately."
