Seeing this, Xiao Feng knew that further explanation would be useless, so he simply acted cool.
He lightly leaped onto the windowsill, turned back and winked at Ouyang Mingyue: "Silly girl, remember to thank me. I'll come back next time to 'unblock your meridians'."
After saying that, he leaped into the air and disappeared into the night.
Ouyang Mingyue stomped her feet in anger. She checked her spiritual energy and was utterly devastated. "Heavens! That bastard drained all the cultivation I'd painstakingly recovered!"
She gritted her teeth, a fierce glint in her eyes: "Xiao Feng, this time I will absolutely not let you go!"
Having made up her mind, Ouyang Mingyue quickly dressed and sped towards Ao Guang's residence.
She had only one thought in her mind: "Senior Ao Guang will definitely help me!"
Meanwhile, in the reception room of the Three Immortal Islands, Ao Guang and several disciples were listening to the gatekeeper's lament.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Before anyone could react, Ouyang Mingyue burst in.
"Junior Sister Ouyang!" everyone exclaimed, their faces showing surprise and delight.
Ao Guang frowned, keenly sensing that something was amiss.
He waved for everyone to be quiet, then asked with concern, "Mingyue, what's wrong? You look so pale."
Ouyang Mingyue was panting heavily, her eyes flashing with anger.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I was ambushed by that shameless Xiao Feng! He sneaked into my room while I was sleeping and used evil tricks to steal my spiritual power!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"What? Xiao Feng actually dared to do such a thing?"
"This is outrageous! It's absolutely inhuman!"
"Junior Sister Ouyang, are you alright?"
Ao Guang pondered for a moment, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
He gently patted Ouyang Mingyue's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, we will definitely find out the truth."
He turned to the crowd and said, "You can all disperse now, let Mingyue get some rest."
After everyone left, Ao Guang whispered to Song Sinian beside him, "Take a few men to the Black Dragon Hall and bring Xiao Feng to me."
Song Sinian frowned, hesitating slightly: "Master, Xiao Feng is, after all, the disciple of the Second Elder of the Qing Sect, so what we're doing..."
Ao Guang snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? He deserves to pay the price for what he did. Go on, don't make me say it a second time."
Seeing this, Song Sinian had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
Meanwhile, Xiao Feng leisurely strolled over to Wang Wu.
Wang Wu was seen boasting to a group of people, a smug smile on his face.
"Oh my, you guys don't know!" Wang Wu waved his arms, his eyebrows dancing with excitement, "Let me tell you, that Xiao Feng is something else, he's a master of the Integration Realm now!"
Those around immediately gasped in surprise.
"Really? He's already at the Fusion Realm at such a young age?"
"Wang Wu, you're not bragging again, are you?"
"I think you've had too much to drink."
Wang Wu patted his chest and assured him, "Why would I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes! That kid's really something now, he can do it easily..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He thought to himself, "If I really had reached the Integration Realm, I would have already founded a sect and dominated a region. This Wang Wu is really good at talking nonsense."
Just then, someone in the crowd shouted, "Wang Wu, if you're lying to us, you'll have to pay us back!"
"Yes, yes, we came because we trusted you!"
"If Xiao Feng weren't at the Integration Realm, you'd better treat us to a good meal!"
Wang Wu panicked at the shout.
He turned to look at Xiao Feng, his eyes full of pleading.
Xiao Feng pretended not to see it and made an excuse to slip away.
He arrived at a secluded cave, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate his cultivation technique to digest the spiritual energy he had just absorbed.
The cave was cool and damp, and the surrounding rock walls were covered with moss.
Xiao Feng closed his eyes, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body.
A faint blue light gradually emanated from his body, and strands of spiritual energy circulated within him, constantly tempering his meridians.
Just as Xiao Feng was immersed in cultivation, Song Sinian led his men to confront Hei Longtang, the dignified leader.
Upon learning the news, Wang Wu rushed to find Xiao Feng.
"It's bad! Song Sinian has brought his men to confront the Black Dragon Hall Master!" Wang Wu said obsequiously, but secretly he was plotting how to shirk responsibility. "You'd better go and apologize, and I don't think the Hall Master will make things too difficult for you."
Looking at Wang Wu's obsequious face, Xiao Feng couldn't help but find it amusing.
This guy is such a treacherous opportunist.
"Alright, let's go take a look then," Xiao Feng said indifferently, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief and urged, "Then let's hurry to the council hall, lest we keep Song Sinian waiting."
The two hurried to the council chamber.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a solemn atmosphere immediately greets you.
Tall stone pillars support the dome, and the surrounding walls are covered with portraits of past sages of the sect.
In the very center was a huge round table, where the leader of the Black Dragon Hall sat upright, his eyes gleaming.
The hall master immediately realized that Xiao Feng was not his disciple, and secretly plotted how to push this hot potato away.
He spoke with feigned authority, "I heard that someone injured a disciple of the Black Dragon Hall. May I ask who did it?"
Xiao Feng stepped forward with neither arrogance nor servility, and said loudly, "It is I."
These two simple words, however, were like a thunderclap.
Everyone present looked at Xiao Feng in shock, never expecting him to admit it so readily.
Wang Wu's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.
Song Sinian frowned, clearly not expecting things to develop this way.
The leader of the Black Dragon Hall was also taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and sized up this audacious young man.
Xiao Feng stood straight, his gaze calm, exuding an aura that could not be underestimated.
"Interesting," the hall master thought to himself. "This kid does have some guts."
The leader of the Black Dragon Hall narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Since you've admitted it, then punish me according to the sect rules. Give me thirty lashes as a warning to others!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two disciples in black grabbed Xiao Feng and dragged him into the courtyard.
A law enforcement disciple holding a long whip walked slowly, a cruel smile on his face.
Xiao Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing.
He knew that those thirty lashes would leave him either dead or severely injured.
"Wait!" Song Sinian suddenly spoke up: "This kid injured one of my Black Dragon Hall's men, so we should take him away and deal with him."
The hall master frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Very well, but we'll have to compensate with some spirit stones."
Song Sinian sneered and casually tossed out a storage bag: "There are a thousand high-grade spirit stones here, is that enough?"
The hall master's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it, saying, "That's enough, that's enough. Let's finish the fight first and then take it away."
Xiao Feng sneered, "You want to hit me? I won't just sit here and wait to die. Whoever dares to lay a hand on me, I'll fight back!"
