Liu Feng remained calm and fearless, responding in a clear and powerful voice: "Ancestor Yunhai, your grandson plotted against me. As a highly respected senior of the Laoshan Sect, you not only fail to punish him, but also force others to submit for your own selfish desires. Is this the way of the righteous path?"
These words were powerful and resonated clearly in the ears of everyone present.
Upon hearing this, everyone was deeply moved, and many nodded in agreement, feeling that Liu Feng's words made perfect sense.
But when he thought of the lofty status and terrifying strength of Ancestor Yunhai in the Laoshan Sect and even the entire cultivation world, and then looked at Liu Feng alone in front of him, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He thought that although this young man had courage and righteousness, he was afraid that he would encounter misfortune here today.
Ancestor Yunhai's face grew increasingly gloomy, and he said in a chilling tone, "Hmph, you little brat, how dare you speak so arrogantly about the righteous path? Today I will show you that in the face of my strength, your so-called justice is nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and you are overestimating your own abilities!"
Before he finished speaking, the spiritual power around Ancestor Yunhai suddenly erupted, and the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations spread outwards like surging waves.
The surrounding air seemed to be compressed by this powerful force, making a buzzing sound, and the ground trembled slightly.
Sensing this terrifying power, everyone's faces showed fear, and they unconsciously retreated, staggering as if afraid of being affected by the aftershocks of this spiritual energy and suffering an undeserved disaster.
Just as the Cloud Sea Ancestor was about to unleash a fatal blow on Liu Feng, he was about to strike.
Suddenly, a young voice rang out: "With me here, anyone who dares to touch my junior uncle will have to get past me first!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall figure step forward and stand in front of Liu Feng.
He wore a plain-colored Taoist robe, the hem fluttering in the wind, and his whole body exuded a sharp aura, like a sword drawn from its sheath, revealing a unique sharpness.
It was Tong Miao.
Faced with the aura of spiritual power that was enough to shock the entire audience, he did not back down at all. Instead, he stood up straighter and became even more imposing.
Ancestor Yunhai sneered: "Tongmiao, who gave you the audacity? Even Shi Hong of Wudang would be extremely respectful to me. How dare you, a mere junior, stop me?"
Tong Miao clasped his hands in a respectful but firm tone: “Senior, Laoshan is a sacred place for cultivation. Cultivators should persuade others with reason and establish themselves with virtue. If we were to use force to suppress others today, it would be inappropriate.”
Ancestor Yunhai's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his brows furrowed.
He hadn't taken Wudang seriously, since Wudang hadn't gained much influence in the cultivation world in recent years. He never expected that someone would stand up and stop him today.
Only now did he see through Tong Miao's cultivation level, and he couldn't help but say angrily, "Hmph, I underestimated you! No wonder you dared to step forward, so you've already entered the Qi Refining stage... Good, very good!"
These words caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd!
"What? Tong Miao is only a few years old, yet he's already at the Qi Refining stage?"
"Unbelievable! Wudang has actually produced such a prodigy?"
"Alas, Fellow Daoist Tongmiao was too impulsive!"
"No, even if they are both at the Qi Refining stage, he is definitely no match for a veteran Qi Refining stage cultivator like Ancestor Yunhai... Where does he get his confidence from?"
Discussions rose and fell, and everyone was shocked.
Tong Miao couldn't help but sneer inwardly: "Confidence? My junior uncle standing behind me is my greatest source of confidence!"
However, Ancestor Yunhai narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze locking onto Tong Miao like a hawk. At this moment, he had already decided to kill him: "Since that's the case... then let me see what you're capable of with your Qi Refining stage cultivation!"
Tong Miao remained silent and slowly took out a long sword hanging at his waist.
The sword was azure, faintly glowing with a spiritual light. Though the blade was not yet revealed, its sword intent was already imposing.
He gently stroked the sword's blade, his gaze tender yet resolute, and slowly said, "This sword is named 'Xuanyue.' Today, let it witness—what is justice, what is courage."
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.
