Qingfengzi’s intense killing intent was like an invisible steel knife, seemingly ready to cleave Ye Feng into pieces.
Yet, in the face of such powerful murderous intentions, Ye Feng remained entirely relaxed, not taking them seriously at all.
Qingfengzi was shocked. If an ordinary martial artist faced his pressure, they would have already become panicked and unable to stay calm. But Ye Feng remained as composed as ever, unaffected by his oppressive aura.
The more unaffected Ye Feng seemed, the more agitated Qingfengzi became, thinking to himself, "It seems this brat is stronger than I imagined. I must obtain his cultivation method at any cost!"
Ye Feng frowned. "Qingfengzi, are you sure you want to make a move against me? Don’t forget, when you came in just now, Wang Wei and Du Yuan saw you. If you kill me, aren’t you afraid they will identify you?"
"Ha ha ha!" Qingfengzi burst into laughter. "Those two wastes? After I kill you, I’ll kill them. Then, no one will be able to identify me. I’ll just say you three were spies sent by a rival sect, and I had every right to kill you all. Since you’ll be dead, you naturally won’t be able to defend yourselves.
None of you three is even part of Wendao Sect anyway, so the sect won’t stand up for you. Do you think I hadn’t considered the question you’re raising?"
Qingfengzi’s shamelessness gave Ye Feng a headache.
"Ah..." Ye Feng sighed helplessly. "What has become of Wendao Sect these days? It seems each generation is worse than the last."
Ye Feng thought back to when he was on Baixiang Peak, where he killed Master Ye and the others because they shamelessly coveted his Demon Core. Now, in Wendao Sect, before even entering their Inner Mountain, he faced Qingfengzi coveting his cultivation method.
Ye Feng thought to himself, "If only I had prepared a few more copies of the Eight Desolates Heartless Skill for Jiang Haoyuan and the others back at Longdu University..."
After hearing Ye Feng’s words, Qingfengzi’s eyes filled with a dense killing intent. "You little bastard, stop your useless chatter. Your time is up. Hand over your cultivation method right now, or I will kill you this instant!"
"Whoo~~" At that moment, Ye Feng took a deep breath, and his chest swelled.
A look of disdain appeared in Qingfengzi’s eyes. "Boy, what are you trying to do, fight me? I advise against it. You are no match for me, and killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant."
"Grandmaster Qingfengzi! I’ve said it. I absolutely will not give you my cultivation method. If you don’t get it, you’re going to kill me? That’s going a bit too far, don’t you think? Is this really how the noble and righteous Wendao Sect acts?" Ye Feng cried out loudly.
In an instant, his voice vibrated like sonic waves, clearly reaching every corner of the Outer Mountain of Wendao Sect, with echoes resounding through the halls of the Daoist temple.
In just a moment, everyone in the Outer Mountain Daoist temple of Wendao Sect was alarmed.
"You little bastard!" Qingfengzi was incensed. He hadn’t expected Ye Feng to pull such a trick, infuriating him to the extreme.
Everyone was shocked, and one by one, they rushed towards Ye Feng’s room.
Furious, Qingfengzi lifted his right hand and reached for Ye Feng’s neck.
"Bang!" But before Qingfengzi could touch Ye Feng, the door was thrown open by Wang Wei and Du Yuan. Shocked at the sight of Qingfengzi’s raised hand, both Wang Wei and Du Yuan asked in astonishment, "Elder Qingfengzi, what are you doing?"
In a matter of moments, dozens of people gathered at the door of Ye Feng’s room. They were all people from the Outer Mountain Daoist temple of Wendao Sect. The most formidable among them was an elderly Taoist in the late stage of Inner Strength, who asked Qingfengzi, "Elder Qingfengzi, what are you trying to do?"
Everyone had heard Ye Feng’s words very clearly, but none dared to confront Qingfengzi openly, which is why the old Taoist asked this question.
A cold glint flashed in Qingfengzi’s eyes before quickly disappearing as he withdrew his hand.
Qingfengzi smiled slightly. "Ha ha, you heard it wrong. I was just playing with Ye Feng, no need to worry!"
"Really?" The crowd looked puzzled. Watching Qingfengzi, many of them had seen him about to strike Ye Feng and were far from believing that Qingfengzi was merely playing around.
Qingfengzi nodded and declared, "Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, just ask Ye Feng."
Qingfengzi turned to Ye Feng, "Tell everyone, we were just playing around, right?"
Qingfengzi’s eyes conveyed a threatening message, implying that if Ye Feng so much as uttered a ’no,’ Qingfengzi would strike him down immediately.
Ye Feng nodded indifferently, "Indeed, Elder Qingfengzi was only joking with me. There’s no need for concern. However, Elder Qingfengzi, it’s getting late, and I don’t want to waste any more of your time. Please, see yourself out."
Qingfengzi’s brow furrowed as he looked at Ye Feng, his eyes briefly showing a malicious gleam. Then his face resumed its familiar smile. "True, it’s late. I’ll be off then. Everyone, you may disperse!"
After Qingfengzi left under everyone’s watchful eyes.
Soon, only Wang Wei, Ye Feng, and Du Yuan were left, both Wang Wei and Du Yuan looking very unsettled. "Ye Feng, was what you just said true?"
Ye Feng shook his head calmly, "Of course not. Didn’t I say it? I was just playing around with Qingfengzi."
Wang Wei’s expression grew even gloomier. "Ye Feng, quit lying to us. Qingfengzi has come to find you several times. If it’s not to take you as his disciple, he definitely has some ulterior motive. We’re not idiots. How could tonight have been a mere prank? If it were just a joke, why would you make such an issue out of it?"
Du Yuan then added, "Ye Feng, you should leave quickly. Qingfengzi has his eye on you. As a Grandmaster with Innate Perfection, he’s vastly powerful. You stand no chance against him. Take the chance now and run. Otherwise, there’s no telling what he might do to you!"
