  Those who can issue a distress signal are not ordinary people in Qingyangmen, at least they are high-ranking officials or their direct disciples. Wei Fang didn't dare to delay and flew out with his sword. Baibao Hall is just half a street away from here, for a foundation-building expert, flying here with a sword is just a matter of a few breaths. So under Sun Kui's slight hesitation, he saw a group of black shadows swooping down from the sky in front of him, and they landed in front of him in the blink of an eye.

  Wei Fang, as the captain of the Qingyang Gate guard in Yuguang City, was not only strong but also meticulous. Just now in the sky, he had already seen through the backgrounds of both sides. The opponent, Mu Yuhe from the Tiandu Gate, was his arch-nemesis, and the Tulong Association beside him wasn't a good bird either, having recently been getting close to the Tiandu Gate. On this side, most people from the Jinding Auction House were familiar faces, purely businesspeople, so why did they appear in this place of trouble today? The rest were three Qi-refining stage cultivators, whom he hadn't had time to take a good look at in the rush, but he already understood that the rescue order was probably issued by them.

  "Huh? Are you Xue Shimei? Long time no see, does Xue Shimei still remember me? I'm Wei Fang, Wei Dage, we used to practice sword together. Wei Fang brought only five people, but they were all high-level experts above the sixth layer of the foundation period. As soon as they arrived, they dispersed and blocked the people from Tulonghui and Tianxiamen outside, then carefully looked at these three small cultivators, and quickly recognized Xue Bingxin."

  Xue Bingxin's identity is not just that of Mei Su's apprentice, she is the legitimate great-granddaughter of the current Supreme Elder of Qingyangmen, the undisputed big sister of this generation of disciples, and no one can match her in terms of status. Almost all the masters of Qingyangmen with some knowledge know her. Wei Fang also saw Xue Bingxin four or five years ago, but didn't recognize her at first glance just now, and only recognized her after taking control of the scene and taking a closer look.

  "I've seen Wei Shixiong, I've seen all the Shixiongs!" Xue Bingxin was thinking about the transmission talisman in her hand, but she didn't expect to be so close to Baibao Hall, and the rescue order was just as effective. It's just that the previous rescue order didn't know who sent it, but it did get her out of trouble.

  Several seniors of the foundation-building period had met with Xue Bingxin and uniformly addressed her as "junior sister", not because he was the great-grandson of the Supreme Elder, but out of respect for her Golden Elixir stage master.

  "Brother Wei, this is the new disciple Master just took in, named Zhao Chun. I hope you'll take care of him more often in the future. Brother Zhao, come and meet everyone!" Xue Bingxin said, pulling Zhao Chun's hand as she introduced him to Wei Fang and the others. She knew that the brothers from Baibao Hall rarely returned to Qingyang Gate, so they definitely wouldn't recognize Master's new disciple.

  "Master Mei has taken on another disciple, and it's a male one at that, how rare!"

  "As expected, you're really something. Look, I'm afraid he's not even fourteen years old yet, and he's already cultivated his Qi to the eighth level. How many levels had I cultivated my Qi to when I was fourteen?"

  "Zhao Shidi, how old are you now? Speak out and scare this ignorant senior brother of yours, so he won't think he's some kind of genius all day long..."

  A group of people from Baibao Hall were chatting and laughing together, leaving the people involved and the surrounding monks to one side. They seemed to be pretending not to have seen anything, their strong self-confidence evident.

  "Alright, no more talk, who is this...?" Wei Fang stopped the chatter of his fellow disciples and asked, pointing at Lin Feng.

  "This is my senior fellow apprentice before I joined the Men's Gate Sect, named Lin Feng." Zhao Chun pulled Lin Feng to introduce him to Wei Fang.

  "I've seen Senior Wei, I've seen all the seniors." There was no way, whether it was cultivation or status, Lin Feng was far inferior, so he quickly came to pay his respects. He still hoped they would rescue Liu Kai.

  "Oh, since you're Zhao Shidi's senior brother, that makes us family. Tell me, what exactly happened? Don't worry, in Yaoguang City, no one dares to be presumptuous towards the Qingyang Gate." Wei Fang's last two sentences were spoken very loudly, and he gave Mu Yuhe a warning glance, while ignoring Sun Kui and the others. The small Dragon Slaying Assembly was nothing but a tiny finger that could be easily crushed, not even worth his attention.

  Mu Yuhe pulled Wu Jue, who was furious, and shook his head, indicating that it wasn't the time to intervene. After all, they hadn't been explicitly mentioned, so if Tian Xie Men rushed out now, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?

  Wei Fang didn't even glance at Sun Kui, but Sun Kui was frightened. From Wei Fang's address to Xue and Zhao, he knew that the two men were not ordinary people. Their master was a high-ranking expert in the Golden Elixir stage, which was now confirmed beyond doubt. Now he regretted it extremely, wondering why he hadn't investigated Lin Feng's background clearly before taking action. If he had known earlier that Lin Feng had such a powerful background, he wouldn't have dared to capture him even if he went bankrupt!

  What to do now? Looking at the evil gate's appearance, it seems that they won't intervene for the time being, and they also hope that they don't intervene. If this conflict escalates into a struggle between two major sects, being stuck in the middle of two superpowers will eventually lead to death. Sun Kui doesn't think that just because he joined the Evil Gate, the Evil Gate would consider the Dragon Slaying Society as their own people. To put it bluntly, the Dragon Slaying Society and the Evil Gate are partners who are together for benefits, and using each other as cannon fodder at critical moments is not difficult to happen.

  After some thought, Sun Kui called one of his subordinates and asked him to hurry up and bring Liu Kai over. Now he was only glad that he hadn't killed Liu Kai immediately yesterday. Seeing that the Dragon Slaying Meeting would have someone leaving, Wei Fang didn't stop them either. He wasn't afraid of the other side calling for help, nor did he care about these small roles, as long as the main one didn't run away.

  The surrounding monks were getting more and more interested, at first they thought it was just the Dragon Slaughter Association bullying a small scattered cultivator again, although they didn't like it, but no one wanted to intervene in other people's business, standing aside purely to watch the excitement. Who knew that later on, a big family like Jin Ding Auction House joined in, making the kind-hearted monks secretly happy for Lin Feng. But before they could be happy for a while, an even more formidable Tian Xie Men came out, causing the situation to take another turn.

  When the Golden Tripod Auction House withdrew from the dispute, many cultivators thought that Lin Feng was doomed to be captured. However, the Qingyang Gate, the first great gate of the Dao repair sect, appeared again, and this gate seemed to have an unusual relationship with Lin Feng, causing the situation to reverse once more. The cultivators who loved to watch the excitement now all wanted to see how the Qingyang Gate would deal with the Tulong Association, and whether the Tiandao Gate would make another move. Of course, there were also many cultivators who couldn't help but wonder what kind of background this young cultivator named Lin Feng had, that so many powerful forces were willing to tear their faces apart for him.

  "They, those butchered pigs and dogs, caught my brother's friend, and then came to catch my brother, but were stopped by them. Later, those evil guys came again, and they made a deal among themselves... Then the butchered pigs and dogs wanted to come and catch us again, and that's when you arrived." Zhao Chun said, recounting the whole story, not wanting to miss any details.

  Wei Fang nodded to Jin Ming, expressing gratitude. He knew that the Jin Ding auction house followed a neutral policy and it wasn't good to thank them directly, lest they be put in an awkward position. Then he glanced at Mu Yuhe's group without looking at them, and said to Sun Kui: "Sun Kui, you're quite bold, aren't you? You even dare to capture people from my Qingyang Gate. Is it because you have some powerful backing that we can't afford to offend? Speak up, let me hear it, see if you can scare old Wei into kneeling and begging for mercy."

  Qingyangmen set up Baibao Hall in Yaoguang City, like many other major sects, for two purposes: one is to collect resources and the other is to gather intelligence. As Qingyangmen's violent team in Yaoguang City, Wei Fang was very familiar with the major forces in Yaoguang City, and naturally knew Sun Kui as well.

  Sun Kui naturally also knew Wei Fang, and if he didn't even recognize the head of the Qingyang Gate guards in the city of Yao Guang, then he would have truly wasted his time. "It's not like that, the Tulong Association wouldn't dare to touch Master Wei's beard, it was a complete misunderstanding, our subordinates were blind to the majesty of Mount Tai, they made a mistake, we'll release him immediately and apologize to Master Wei another day." Sun Kui was also a man of character, in front of so many people, he admitted his mistake without hesitation. Moreover, the other party was the first great sect of the Xiu Zhen world, and yielding to them wouldn't be humiliating. His current plan was to calm down Qingyang Gate's anger as soon as possible, no matter what, if he resisted stubbornly, once Tian Xie Men lent a hand, his situation would become dangerous.

  But things didn't go in the direction he had hoped, and before Wei could speak up, Wu Jue beat him to it: "The prestige of Qingyang Gate is quite impressive, but it seems they can only bully smaller gates and sects." Wu Jue wasn't a fool, and Mu Yuhe's considerations were because this matter didn't have any direct benefits for him. It was different for himself, though - pulling in the scattered forces of Yao Guang City was his responsibility and task. If the Tulong Association was being bullied by Qingyang Gate like this and he didn't lend a hand to help, it would be difficult to win them over in the future. That's why he spoke up with a hint of sarcasm.

  But little did he know, his good intentions almost made Sun Kui vomit blood. Little did he know that from the very beginning, Sun Kui had positioned the relationship between Tulonghui and Tianxiamen as a combination of interests, where benefits could be taken by force, and this scapegoat was absolutely not to be believed. That's why he said nice things in a low voice, just not wanting to have a head-on conflict with Qingyangmen. And Wu Ruo's one sentence pushed him back into the spotlight, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

  Qingyang Gate is not to be offended, the small Dragon Slaying Sect cannot afford to offend such a powerful force. Tiexi Gate even more so, although their power is slightly smaller than Qingyang Gate, but they are more ruthless in their actions, otherwise how would they be called demonic cultivators? Moreover, now that he has an unclear relationship with Tiexi Gate, it's not good to rashly oppose Weiyu.

  "Oh, Mu Lao Mo, when did you become a turtle with its head shrunk in? Let this newly-established foundation kid come out and talk, is he worthy?" Wei Fang didn't even bother to acknowledge Wu Jue, directly conversing with Mu Yuhe. One sentence that scolded and belittled Wu Jue, making him worthless, the meaning was very clear: a kid who just established his foundation doesn't have the qualifications to speak with him yet.

  Wu Jue's face turned red with rage, and he was about to burst into a loud scolding. However, Mu Yuhe stepped forward and blocked his way. "Wei Fang," Mu Yuhe said, taking two steps forward, "you and I have clashed at least eight times. You should be aware that the Tian Xie Men is not afraid of your Qing Yang Men, and I am not afraid of you, Wei Fang. Today, we choose not to intervene in this matter not because we fear you, but because we had an agreement with Jin Ming earlier. Whatever grievances you have, take it up with the people from the Tuo Long Hui."

  "Brother Mu, how can you do this? The Tulong Society is a force that I've managed to win over with great difficulty. If we don't take care of them now, they won't risk their lives for us in the future." Wu Que hastily sent a voice transmission, seeing that Mu Yuhe had clearly indicated he wouldn't intervene in this matter and not wanting to openly express his opposition.
