As more and more people appeared at the teleportation array, the hall became noisy.
"When did this Ice and Fire Path become so difficult? What happened?!"
"Could it be that some special restriction has been triggered?!"
"What other restrictions could it be? I'm afraid someone is playing tricks on me!"
Although the person who spoke did not point out who was behind the incident, the people present were not fools.
How could they not know what was going on in the Ice and Fire Sect?
Suddenly the difficulty increased dramatically, who else could it be besides Xinggong? !
However, in response to this, everyone could only make indirect comments and did not dare to confront Xinggong head-on.
Qin Feng didn't care about this at all. He just sat quietly in the corner reading the book in his hand.
Not long after, Wan Tianming and the other two walked out of the teleportation array one after another.
They had never seen Qin Feng before, so they didn't pay attention to other people at this time. They just found a corner to stay in, looking towards the teleportation array from time to time.
At this moment, the portal flashed, and two figures appeared in the hall one after another.
The one walking in front was Ji Yin, and the one following behind him was naturally Wu Chou.
After the two appeared, they naturally looked around.
The rest of the people were fine, even Wan Tianming Jiyin just glanced at him, but when he saw Qin Feng, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Then, he chose a corner far away from Qin Feng with all his heart.
This subtle change in expression was difficult for others to notice, but Wan Tianming had been observing Ji Yin.
This made him glance at Qin Feng.
Nothing special. Wait, a Nascent Soul cultivator?!
When did another Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly appear? Why didn't I see him before?
Although Wan Tianming had already guessed it in his mind before, he did not see any other Nascent Soul cultivators until he entered the second level.
So he had already overturned his own guess, but he didn't expect that he would be given a surprise now.
It seems that this journey to the inner hall of Xutian Palace will be more uncertain.
For a moment, Wan Tianming immediately started to discuss with Tian Wuzi and Mu Tengzi, and from time to time he glanced towards Qin Feng with a hint of hesitation in his expression.
Not long after, Wan Tianming sent a message to Qin Feng.
"I think the reason why Ji Yin and the others were murmuring earlier was because of you, fellow Taoist!"
"I am Wan Tianming, the leader of the Wanfa Sect. May I know who you are?"
This is a very classic way to start a conversation. After listening to it, Qin Feng thought for a moment and replied.
"Wu Zhu, a casual cultivator, greets Sect Master Wan."
Then he added: "I have no intention of interfering with the good and evil."
In the Chaos Star Sea, Qin Feng's current strength is more than enough to protect himself.
Even if a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage attacked him, he would not underestimate him at all. With the power of his formation, he would kill anyone who dared to come!
But the world of cultivating immortals is not always about fighting and killing, there are also human relationships and social etiquette.
Before he became completely invincible, Qin Feng believed in the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me", and he would never offend anyone for no reason.
So at this moment, facing Wan Tianming's words, he said that he was just a passerby and would not be involved in their fight.
"This"
Wan Tianming was stunned when he heard Qin Feng's words. He didn't expect the other party to answer so straightforwardly.
In his heart, he had many questions to ask.
But from Qin Feng's tone and expression, he could tell that the other party had no intention of continuing the conversation.
In order not to offend anyone, Wan Tianming did not bother Qin Feng any further. Instead, he said a few polite words and stopped asking.
"What happened?" Tian Wuzi asked hurriedly.
"No." Wan Tianming shook his head.
"But he also said that he would not help the good and the evil. Let's wait and see after we enter the inner hall."
Qin Feng only said that he was a casual cultivator and nothing else. He simply didn't want to have close friendship with them.
Although Wan Tianming was a little disappointed about this, he didn't think much about it. As long as Qin Feng didn't go to help Man Huzi and the others, it would be fine.
Of course, that’s all we can say, but we still have to wait until we actually enter the inner hall to know the details.
At this moment, the teleportation array flashed, and Master Black Wind appeared in the hall.
After taking a quick look around, the latter immediately ran towards Ji Yin.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after they reunited.
The two elders of Xinggong are not here now, and Wan Tianming and the other three have been secretly communicating with Qin Feng.
If the four of them joined forces, Ji Yin would be in danger.
So during this period, Ji Yin was on full alert and would run away as soon as any movement was made!
And now, the arrival of Master Black Wind made Ji Yin's tense heart ease a little.
"What's going on?" Master Heifeng asked after looking at Qin Feng.
"It's a bit risky. The Qin guy was flirting with Wan Tianming just now. They might be in cahoots with each other!" he said in a gloomy voice.
After a moment of silence, Master Black Wind asked, "Where is the boy named Han Li you mentioned?"
Han Li has the Blood Jade Spider on him, which is the most important thing in taking the tripod from the inner hall and must not be lost!
“I haven’t passed the second level yet.”
"Ah? He won't die, will he?" Master Black Wind asked worriedly.
"How can it be?!"
Ji Yin said with certainty: "Look at the man surnamed Qin, he is not panicking at all, obviously he is confident, just wait."
Just like that, the hall fell silent for a while.
Not long after, Qing Yi and Man Huzi came out and came to Ji Yin and the others.
By this time, there was not much time left before the second level was closed.
Those people from the Demonic Path were all staring at the portal, waiting for Han Li to appear.
On the other hand, Qin Feng was not in a hurry at all. He sat cross-legged and started practicing.
If you don’t know, you might think that Man Huzi and the others are Han Li’s masters.
At this moment, a teleportation light flashed, and Yuan Yao with blue eyes and green pupils walked out.
She was wearing a black robe, obviously trying to conceal herself.
However, as soon as she appeared, everyone was staring at her, which immediately made her alarm bells go off.
Huo Ling was a little frightened. A ball of translucent flame suddenly wrapped around Yuan Yao's body, turning into a shield to guard against sudden danger.
Soon, Yuan Yao realized that this group of people didn't seem to have any intention of taking action.
So she immediately glanced around, and when she saw Qin Feng, her eyes lit up and she flew over quickly.
Qin Feng only showed his true face when he accepted Han Li as his disciple. Now he has returned to his disguise, and Yuan Yao recognized him at the first sight.
And at this moment, the aura Qin Feng revealed was that of the Nascent Soul stage, which made Yuan Yao very happy.
"My humble lady greets Senior Five!" Yuan Yao shouted with a hint of joy in her tone, while bowing respectfully.
She did not ask why Qin Feng was here, nor did she ask why he had concealed his strength before. She just came to visit.
After all, because of Master Black Wind's affairs, she is now being targeted by the demonic Nascent Soul cultivator.
If she were alone, even with Huo Ling's protection, it would be a bit risky.
Now that Qin Feng is with me, the situation is different. With the two Nascent Soul cultivators working together, the possibility of being attacked is greatly reduced.
"Please sit down." Qin Feng said, pointing to a seat nearby.
"Thank you for the seat, senior." Yuan Yao was very polite.
After all, she is asking for help now, so it is always good to be more polite.
But before she could open her mouth to speak, another person appeared on the teleportation array.
And as soon as this person came out, he attracted everyone's attention!
That’s right, this person is Han Li!
He was in the lava road and found that the gold-eating bugs could evolve by eating the ants, so he spent a lot of time eating a lot of ants in the lava road, which delayed him for some time.
Now that he had come out, looking at the eager eyes of Jiyin, Man Huzi and the others, he was extremely nervous.
What's worse, some even released their spiritual power to test his situation.
At this moment, Qin Feng's long voice came, "Disciple, come over now!"
"Yes, Master!" Han Li flew towards Qin Feng immediately as if he had been pardoned.
"Brother Han!" Yuan Yao bowed in greeting.
Then he asked curiously, "Are you taking Senior Five as your master?"
"Exactly."
Han Li returned the greeting by bowing his hands, and then said: "Master appreciated my talent and specially accepted me as his disciple."
Qin Feng didn't need to remind him at all. Han Li was a smart man and knew what to say and what not to say.
"I see. Congratulations!"
Yuan Yao smiled and nodded, then glanced at Qin Feng casually, and continued: "Senior Five is so powerful, if I hadn't already become his disciple, I would also like to be Brother Han's junior sister now!"
Ever since Huo Ling appeared, Yuan Yao estimated that his master had already entered the Xutian Palace.
But it was obvious that he had hidden his face, so Yuan Yao had to find out who he was by herself.
But by now, she already had a guess in her mind that there were three suspicious targets.
Two of them were cultivators in the late Jindan stage. They had been wearing masks and not revealing any part of themselves. They were alone from beginning to end.
And the last one is naturally Qin Feng in front of him.
Yuan Yao said this now because she wanted to test Qin Feng to see if he was her master.
However, Qin Feng did not react much to her words.
Before she could continue speaking, two people suddenly jumped out from the teleportation array. They were the two elders of Xinggong.
As soon as Elder Jia appeared, he said in a surprised tone, "I don't know which reckless fellow Taoist actually triggered some powerful restrictions when crossing the Ice and Fire Road, causing a huge change in the canyon."
"The Great Elder and I have searched for it, but unfortunately we have not found a way to remove it. This time, I don't know how many rising stars will perish here. Sigh. It's such a shame."
With just a few light words, he completely dismissed the matter, as if it had nothing to do with Xinggong.
Hearing this, Wan Tianming snorted coldly, seeming very unconvinced.
Objectively speaking, the righteous monks do act in a more upright manner.
Wan Tianming really despised Xing Gong for using sneaky tricks like that and then making hypocritical excuses afterwards.
"What? It seems that Sect Master Wan is quite dissatisfied. Could it be that among these dead and injured, there are your children and nephews?"
Jin Kui looked at Wan Tianming and asked in a deep voice.
While speaking, he also glanced at Qin Feng secretly.
Compared with Wan Tianming and Man Huzi, he was most interested in the mysterious Qin Feng at this time.
"Great Elder, your words are a bit too contemptuous. Life and death are determined by fate. Even if you are a member of Wan's clan, if you can't escape such a shallow calculation, you can only blame yourself for not being as skilled as others!"
Hearing this, Jin Kui had no intention of answering.
Although Wan Tianming pointed out that this was a plot, so what? It would be fine if they didn't admit it.
And judging from Wan Tianming's attitude, he wanted to let the matter go.
But then, Wan Tianming stretched out his hand and shouted: "But!"
"Grand Elder, please be careful. If you push too hard, you'll end up fighting among yourselves."
If the first sentence can be regarded as surrender, then this one is almost a blatant challenge to Xinggong!
Even words like internal strife were mentioned, which was equivalent to pointing at Xinggong's nose and scolding them for making trouble!
Jin Kui frowned slightly and looked over.
Man Huzi and the others were also attracted by this. This was a bit serious. Would they start a fight?
"If the aliens from the outer sea take advantage of this opportunity, Xinggong will be blamed!"
Hearing Wan Tianming's stern shout, such serious words, coupled with the aura emanating from his body, it was obvious that he was about to take action.
Seeing this, Jin Kui also mobilized his magic power to guard against the opponent's sudden attack.
It seems that Wan Tianming doesn't want to continue to be confused today and must demand an explanation from Xinggong.
Of course, they are still in the confrontation stage. Several Nascent Soul cultivators have their eyes on Man Hu Zi and Qin Feng.
After all, there are only these few strongest people in the field. If we want to fight, we have to look at their opinions.
On the other hand, Master Black Wind had an urge to stand up and agree immediately.
After all, Wan Tianming had just talked about the monsters in the outer sea, and he might be able to lead them to Yuan Yao.
But saying this would obviously offend Xinggong.
And if he fails to do it well, he will offend Qin Feng.
After thinking about it, he decided to hold back on this matter as there was no definite outcome to be seen.
At this moment, Man Huzi stood up and shouted loudly: "You bastard hypocrites, you only know how to talk about morality all day long. If you really care about the world, you should go out to the sea and kill a few transformed monsters!"
"What's the point of bragging here? I think the word 'Fa' in your Wanfa Men is just a way of blowing the whistle!"
On the surface, it seemed that Wan Tianming was acting out of anger, and Man Huzi was speaking out because he couldn't stand Wan Tianming.
But in fact, this was just an agreement between the two of them to deliberately create discord and put on a show for Xinggong to see.
Moreover, this kind of thing happens every time the Xutian Palace is opened, both the good and evil sides will do the same, it has become a regular program.
When Jin Kui heard Man Huzi pointing at Wanfamen and cursing, he roughly guessed something and realized that the fight could not start anymore. He pinched his beard and looked at the two of them with interest.
"Barbarian Beard! I will kill you!"
Being pointed at and scolded, although he knew it was acting, Wan Tianming was still fully immersed in the situation. The aura of a middle Nascent Soul stage emanated directly from him, and his eyes were fixed on Man Huzi.
"I have long wanted to learn your Tianluo Zhen Gong!"
Man Huzi also exuded a powerful aura. The pressure from the two of them mixed together and even the Jindan cultivator had to use his spiritual power to block it. It was obvious that he was really angry.
For a moment, the air around them twisted and the atmosphere became extremely solemn.
