Lu Xue'er sensed Xiao Feng's powerful spiritual energy. Her face was full of resentment. She concentrated all the spiritual energy in her body into the center of her palm and slammed it down hard.
In an instant, the shield created by the Azure Sect's Qi Refining Technique trembled twice.
Xiao Feng was shocked to see that Lu Xue'er could actually shake the Azure Sect Qi Refining Technique he had just unleashed.
Suddenly, he discovered that his Qingzong Qi Refining Technique had reached the late stage of the third level.
When Lu Xue'er noticed Xiao Feng's unusual behavior, she also focused her attention on Xiao Feng's spiritual power.
Soon, she discovered that Xiao Feng's Qingzong Qi Refining Technique had reached the late stage of the third level.
Ordinary disciples can only progress through the first level of the Qingzong Qi Refining Technique; they cannot even touch the barrier of the second level.
It's simply outrageous that Xiao Feng, as a new disciple, actually cultivated the Qingzong Qi Refining Technique to the third level.
Xiao Feng stared blankly at his hands, unable to react for a long time: "Cultivation is actually this simple?"
At this point, Lu Xue'er no longer intended to deal with Xiao Feng.
Although Feng Luo had been promoting the idea that Xiao Feng frequently consumed elixirs within the Qing Sect, Lu Xue'er, who spent most of her time in the alchemy room, had never actually seen Xiao Feng refine many elixirs.
Now, his strength is steadily improving, which clearly indicates that he has his own cultivation method.
Lu Xue'er glanced at Xiao Feng, about to ask him about his cultivation methods.
However, the words were barely on the tip of his tongue when he swallowed them back down, too embarrassed to ask the question.
The two of them were just arguing, and neither of them expected it to turn out like this.
Seeing that Lu Xue'er had no intention of making a move, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but ask her, "What are you doing? You're not reluctant to deal with him, are you?"
Lu Xue'er heard Liu Chengfeng subtly provoking her, and looked at Xiao Feng again, condensing all her spiritual power in her palm: "Are you going to return the pearl or not?"
Xiao Feng deliberately took out the bead and displayed it in front of her, saying, "The bead is right here, but I don't know if you'll have a chance to take it."
In his eyes, no disciple of the Azure Sect could reach the fourth rank, let alone the seventh rank.
He could challenge all the disciples of the Azure Sect now, if he so desired.
Just as the group was fighting, a disciple of the Azure Sect ran into the hall, his face full of panic.
Seeing the Qingzong disciple's panicked expression, the Grand Elder couldn't help but ask him, "What's with this panic? What happened?"
The Qingzong disciple swallowed hard: "I am a disciple guarding the mountain gate. They are fighting at the mountain gate."
The sect leader and the elder exchanged a glance, their faces filled with astonishment, and asked in unison, "Who?"
They originally thought someone had attacked their mountain gate, but no one expected that Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er would actually fight at the mountain gate.
When one of the elders learned that they had fought at the mountain gate, he looked at the sect leader with a livid face and said, "Sect leader, we can't let them get away with this."
"That's right, the fact that they're fighting at the mountain gate is like they're treating our sect's rules like trash."
The sect leader, hearing many elders demanding that he punish Xiao Feng, glanced at them and said, "I'll call them up and ask them about it."
The situation is still unclear, and there's no reason to jump to conclusions so quickly.
The sect leader used a telepathic communication technique, imbued with powerful spiritual energy, to call out: "Xiao Feng, Lu Xue'er, why didn't you return to the main hall after you returned to the Qing Sect?"
Upon hearing the sect leader's voice, Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er exchanged a glance and quickly withdrew their spiritual power.
Both of them understood perfectly well that if they didn't withdraw their spiritual power, it would be tantamount to killing each other, even though they were fellow disciples.
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they each led their teams to the main hall.
When the elder saw Xiao Feng enter the main hall, he glared at him angrily and asked, "Do you know you're wrong?"
When Xiao Feng heard the elder place the blame on him alone, he pointed at himself with a shocked expression and said, "You wouldn't put all the blame for what happened at the mountain gate on your disciple, would you?"
Picking someone randomly from among them without considering the context is clearly not the wisest choice.
As Xiao Feng's master, the sect leader was naturally unwilling to place all the responsibility on Xiao Feng. He glanced in Xiao Feng's direction and said, "Tell me the whole story."
They originally thought they could get the right answer from Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er, but no one expected that they would not be able to get the right answer at all.
The two had their own versions of events, each sticking to their own story, making it impossible for them to determine who was right.
Suddenly, one of the elders pointed at Liu Chengfeng: "Isn't Chengfeng in their group? I think he should have seen everything."
The other elders chimed in, "Yes, since we can't get the answer from them, let's have Liu Chengfeng say it."
Even now, Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er have not revealed anything about the bead.
Xiao Feng felt that the bead was just a trigger, and revealing it would only be detrimental to him.
Lu Xue'er, on the other hand, felt that the beads were her training tools, and only when they were on her own could they be considered her own.
The two of them kept the matter to themselves, waiting to see how Liu Chengfeng would explain what had just happened.
Lu Xue'er glanced in Liu Chengfeng's direction, as if she wanted him to explain himself.
Liu Chengfeng gave Lu Xue'er a reassuring look, stepped out of the group, and stood in front of them.
“I met them a long time ago, so I saw everything that happened between them.”
When the elders learned that Liu Chengfeng knew everything, they nodded in satisfaction: "Then tell the elders, why were they fighting at the mountain gate?"
The sect has a very strict rule: disciples of the Qing Sect are absolutely forbidden from killing each other.
If any fellow disciples are found to be fighting each other, the lightest punishment is expulsion from the sect.
The sect leader looked at Liu Chengfeng with an indifferent expression, as if waiting for Liu Chengfeng to give them a response.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Liu Chengfeng completely reversed what had just happened, portraying Xiao Feng as an utterly wicked villain who was causing trouble for Lu Xue'er.
When the elders learned that Xiao Feng had ambushed Lu Xue'er, they slammed their hands on the table: "As the sect leader's personal disciple, how could you do such a thing?"
Before Xiao Feng could respond, an elder immediately walked up to the sect leader and said, "If we don't even punish a disciple like this, then our sect rules are probably useless."
The other elders nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must punish Xiao Feng and make him bear the consequences of his actions."
The sect leader listened to the elders' words, waved his hand, and glanced at Xiao Feng: "Do you have anything to add? I know his character, and I believe him halfway."
