They were actually... defeated instantly by a Qi Refining stage girl?
Am I dreaming?
Upon seeing this, the dozen or so followers following behind also hurriedly tried to rush forward, "Elders!"
Rong Zi wanted to raise her hand to shove them away, but she was afraid that she would lose control of her strength and hurt them.
So she stopped abruptly, grabbed Xiu'er at her waist, and slashed the ground with her hand.
As she moved, a giant net imbued with the power of lightning rose from the ground, blocking everyone who rushed forward.
The lightning bolts crackled and popped all over the net.
Anyone who rushes up will be paralyzed by the spiritual energy emanating from the lightning net, unable to move forward an inch.
Seeing this, Yun Jing also imitated Rong Zi's movements.
This is an interesting tactic; he can use it in the future.
He happens to have a lightning spiritual root.
Having successfully stopped everyone, Rong Zi calmly withdrew Xiu'er, then squinted at Qi Ming and the two elders, raising an eyebrow and asking a question.
"Have you all come to my Rongling Sect today to fight?"
Qi Ming and the two elders looked at each other, their expressions increasingly blank.
Qi Ming swallowed hard and shook his head stiffly.
He originally came to recruit them.
But now...
Qi Ming was increasingly shocked as he looked at Rong Zi, and tentatively asked, "Aren't you in the Qi Refining stage?"
He wasn't mistaken.
This little girl is already at the Qi Refining stage!
Rong Zi blinked innocently and replied, "That's right, I'm in the Qi Refining stage."
"Then how... how could this be..." Qi Ming stammered.
It's not that he's unsophisticated.
I was completely stunned by what I saw.
A mere Qi Refining stage girl handled them like it was nothing.
This...this is really a bit scary!
Seeing that they seemed quite frightened, Gu Xiaochui kindly came up and explained to them.
"It's true that my master is in the Qi Refining stage, but she can easily defeat Qi Refining stage cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage. So, it's not shameful for you not to be able to beat our master."
Qi Ming thought he was hallucinating, "What... what do you mean by 'beat'?"
Tribulation period?
A Qi Refining stage cultivator easily defeats a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator?
What a novel idea...
Seeing that they clearly didn't believe her, Ning Lingling also came closer and pointed towards the outside of their sect.
"Do you see that mountain outside our sect?"
Qi Ming subconsciously looked in the direction she was pointing.
"Are there mountains outside your sect?"
When they arrived, they didn't see any mountains outside.
Ning Lingling nodded and said, "There used to be one, but it exploded a couple of days ago. Do you know how it exploded?"
"How...how did it explode?" Qi Ming's brain wasn't working properly right now; he was being completely led by the nose.
“By my master.” Ning Lingling stretched out both hands, flicked one with one hand, and made an explosion gesture with the other, “Bang! It exploded with a flick of a finger.”
Qi Ming: "..."
The two elders: "..."
What about when they're three years old?
Who would believe something so outrageous?
Qi Yufei believed it.
He looked at Gu Xiaochui and Ning Lingling in utter shock and asked, "Is what you're saying true?"
Gu Xiaochui stepped forward, put her arms around his neck, and whispered a question in his ear.
"Do you know what level our master is on now?"
Qi Yufei: "How many floors?"
Gu Xiaochui gestured to him, "99".
Qi Yufei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock.
"How many?"
What exactly did he miss during this time?
How did Master manage to suddenly jump to the 99th level of cultivation?
Gu Xiaochui patted Qi Yufei on the back.
"So, with Master around, we have nothing to worry about. Even if the Alliance Leader comes, he'll only be tormented by our Master. Your father and the others will never be able to hurt Master."
The apprentices whispered amongst themselves, while Rong Zi wrapped Xiu'er around her waist again and looked up to ask Qi Ming.
"Since Valley Master Qi didn't come here to fight today, could we come inside and have a proper chat?"
Qi Ming: "..."
Given all this, does his wish still matter?
Finally, Rong Zi removed the spiritual energy shield that had been covering the two elders and took the initiative to lead the way towards the reception room.
Qi Ming and the two elders followed silently behind.
Looking at Rong Zi's petite figure, Qi Ming tugged at Qi Yufei, hesitatingly asking, "This little girl, she..."
Qi Yufei looked smug. "I told you, my master is very powerful. Do you believe me now?"
"Don't you even know what kind of taste your son has? Do you think I'd willingly become his apprentice to just anyone?"
Qi Ming was now full of questions. "But she... she looks like she's just a young girl, and her cultivation level is indeed only at the Qi Refining stage?"
Could she possess some powerful magical artifact?
Or perhaps she just looks young, but is actually a reclusive master, a low-key big shot?
Qi Yufei simply gave his father a meaningful look.
"Father, you can't judge a book by its cover."
Looking at his expression, Qi Ming became even more determined in his decision.
That's right!
Don't judge a book by its cover!
The cultivation world is full of hidden talents. This little girl must be a reclusive master who has lived for countless years. She is definitely a senior!
He judged people by their appearance!
