Chapter 64 - Conflict

Among everyone present, Xue Clan’s First Elder was the one with the highest cultivation base, which already reached the fifth realm of Spirit Severing stage. Although he was a medical cultivator, the absolute strength of a Spirit Severing cultivator was overwhelming, and his movement was as fast as lightning. Before Su Junmo, Sikong Xing, and the others could react, Meng Qi had been thrown away to the side.

Seeing that Meng Qi was about to hit the wall, Sikong Xing quickly lifted her hand. Black water suddenly emerged from the ground, rushing to Meng Qi in a hurry.

Su Junmo’s hand flashed briefly, and a small feather fan appeared on his hands. He raised his hand at Elder Xue, fully knowing that the other party’s cultivation base was much higher than himself. Yet, he did not hesitate to release several rays from his fan towards Elder Xue.

However, Pei Mufeng was faster. The black figure that wasn’t much slower than Elder Xue immediately rushed towards Meng Qi. When Meng Qi returned to her senses, a pair of arms had caught her body, and she landed firmly on the ground.

At that time, the water summoned by Sikong Xing’s spell had just surged out.

Su Junmo’s rays attack hadn’t touched Elder Xue yet.

With a ‘clank’ from the sword, a murderous aura swept across. Meng Qi shivered uncontrollably. The next moment, Pei Mufeng’s long sword was floating in the air, its sharp tip pointed at Elder Xue.

“Here is Xingluo City.” Pei Mufeng took a step forward, guarding Meng Qi behind him. He had always maintained politeness before. No matter how aggressive Elder Xue was, he did not show any impatience or anger. But this time, Pei Mufeng’s voice was cold, and his eyes were colder than his voice, “She is my guest.”

Elder Xue’s eyes flashed.

Pei Mufeng was a genius, and his fame as a sword fanatic didn’t only spread throughout the Eastern Realm, but also reached the Western Realm. This young man was only twenty-seven to twenty-eight years old, but actually had reached the Nascent Soul stage’s peak. He was already half a step into the Spirit Severing stage, and perhaps would make a breakthrough at any moment.

Even though Pei Mufeng’s cultivation base now was still lower than himself, Elder Xue would never underestimate him. His swordsmanship alone was enough to make up the difference in their cultivation base.

Elder Xue’s face was ashen. His eyes flickered, and he slowly turned his gaze from Pei Mufeng to Meng Qi, before turning to Su Junmo and Sikong Xing.

“Young Daoist Su also wants to attack this old man?” Elder Xue asked slowly and coldly.

“She is the one I brought.” Su Junmo also took a step forward and stood between Elder Xue and Meng Qi. “Besides, she is no more than a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if something makes Elder unhappy, you are still a great senior. Why do you have to fuss over minor matters?”

Xue Chengxuan glanced at Su Junmo in surprise. The other party didn’t even say something like “Meng Qi might have done something wrong that provokes Elder Xue,” but bluntly said that the elder did not like her.

He obviously guarded Meng Qi.

Xue Chengxuan subconsciously glanced at the curtain that had been closed again. As a brother, he more or less knew his sister’s mind. The reason why Xue Lingfeng insisted on departing for Xingluo City earlier without waiting for their father was for this Su Junmo.

“Heh—” Elder Xue sneered. Passing Su Junmo and Pei Mufeng, his eagle-like eyes fell on Meng Qi. “A small Foundation Establishment cultivator, unexpectedly can find Lingfeng’s problem at a glance. I was just a little wary.”
