Therefore,

Young Master Bai He felt miserable in his heart!

With no other choice, he came to Five Rings Mountain, hoping to seize this critical location that connects the Hidden World and the Mortal World to earn some money in the Mortal World, so that he could quickly find help for Array Formation against Red Fire Palace.

"So that's how it is..."

After hearing his words, Qin Feng, pinching his chin, muttered, "No wonder Xingluo Peak was defeated by Supreme Sect to that extent. Even a Sixth-Grade Grandmaster has to make money in the Mortal World. It turns out to be the result of the support from your array formations."

"Not to mention other things, our Sun and Moon Villa's arrays are absolutely famous! Originally, Xingluo Peak and Supreme Sect were roughly equal in power. But with the support of our arrays, in less than a month, Xingluo Peak was completely at a disadvantage, beaten like a stray dog!"

Young Master Bai He again proudly exclaimed.

"Then it seems we cannot let you join 'Heavenly King Palace.'"

Qin Feng said.

"Indeed, our Sun and Moon Villa is quite reputable and somewhat famous. We couldn't possibly join some obscure, insignificant sect, so you don't need to invite me."

"No, you misunderstood. I mean, I have to kill you."

Qin Feng said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

With that.

Wang Zanggu and the others immediately put their knives to his throat.

"Hey, hey, Young Master Qin, what... what are you doing? We had an agreement. I broke the array for you, and you would let me go. As a gentleman, you can't do this!" Young Master Bai He became nervous.

There was no way out.

The strength that Qin Feng had just shown was too much not only for him, but also for Chasing the Sun and Chasing Moon.

"Hehe, I'm allying with Xingluo Peak to launch an assault on Qinling soon to deal with Supreme Sect. You're an accomplice of Supreme Sect, so tell me, shouldn't I kill you?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Ah? This, this..."

Young Master Bai He was dumbfounded.

He could never have imagined there would be such a development.

"Kill him!"

Qin Feng said to Wang Zanggu.

"Yes!"

As Wang Zanggu was about to make his move, Young Master Bai He, now desperate and forsaking any image of nobility, knelt to the ground with a "thump" and pleaded: "Young Master Qin, spare my life!!"

"It's not that I'm unwilling to spare your life. It's just that different paths do not work together. Since we stand on opposing sides, it's either your death or my life," Qin Feng said.

"No!!"

Young Master Bai He, drenched in cold sweat, said, "We're on the same side! Didn't I say earlier? I was also deceived by Supreme Sect. We're in this together!"

"Stop messing around. How can we be together? You're from Sun and Moon Villa, I'm from Heavenly King Palace," Qin Feng said with a spread of his hands.

Seeing this, Young Master Bai He was extremely frustrated, made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! I, I agree to join Heavenly King Palace!"

"Oh? Is that so? Are you sincere?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes..."

Young Master Bai He said with a bitter face.

"But even though Heavenly King Palace is small, not just anyone can join. We have to see your sincerity, don't we?"

Qin Feng motioned around him.

How could Young Master Bai He not understand what he meant? Tears were already in his heart as he said, "Rest assured, in the next few days I will set up the array here to demonstrate my sincerity."

"Good, then work hard."

Qin Feng said, patting his shoulder with a smile, "Now go upstairs and rest for a bit!"

Young Master Bai He felt like dying.

At this moment.

The rainstorm outside had already stopped, and the clouds had dissipated, with bright sunshine beaming down.

Standing on the mountain top.

Feeling the breeze.

Qin Feng watched as his subordinates cleared out the body of the Black Monk, sighed lightly, and said: "Old Monk, with this guy dead, does this count as owing me a favor? Later, you'll have to share with me some of that liquor you stole from the village chief..."

"Right! How am I going to tell him that I killed the Black Monk later?"

After thinking it over.

Qin Feng carefully observed beside the body, trying to find some kind of token.

At that moment, he noticed a black cord hanging around his waist.

The black cord only held a single Buddha Bead, which looked quite peculiar.

"This will do!"

Qin Feng took the Buddha Bead as evidence for killing the Black Monk and ordered his subordinates to dispose of the body.

At this moment.

He suddenly heard intermittent thunders of rumbling noises coming from beneath the mountain.

Such sounds must indicate a duel between experts.

Logically, shouldn't they all be heading to attack Five Rings Mountain? Why have they started fighting among themselves down here?

He was puzzled.

Qin Feng rushed down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain.

Liu Li, holding a longsword, was locked in an intense fight with Thousand Valley Taoist, with no clear victor.

Thousand Valley Taoist was also panting heavily, and after delivering a palm strike that caused a thunderous boom, he said, "I didn't expect you to improve so rapidly, truly an elite of Xinghua Gully. I can't believe I still haven't defeated you."

"Leave the dagger behind!"

Liu Li was also having a tough time.

Apart from dealing with Thousand Valley Taoist, whose cultivation was similar to hers, she had to fend off his two disciples.

"Hmph, I see I can't waste any more time with you. Prepare to die!"

As he spoke, his brows furrowed, and then he swallowed a Medicine Pill.

Next.

He burst forth with an odd energy, his veins bulging, and his eyes turning ferocious as he yelled at Liu Li, "This time, you will die!!"

Seeing this, Liu Li's expression turned to shock as she said, "Are you consuming a Demon Pill?!"

"That's right, hehe!"

Thousand Valley Taoist's body kept undergoing changes, becoming as gruesome as a monster, and he said, "I spent quite a bit of money on this Demon Pill, but for an Outer Heaven Stone, it's worth it!"

With those words.

He vanished like a shadow on the spot and instantaneously reappeared in front of Liu Li, raising his sword to strike!

Liu Li was greatly alarmed; unable to dodge in time, she could only raise her sword to block.

But then.

There was a clang.

The longsword, emanating a golden aura, was forcefully severed by Thousand Valley Taoist!

Thousand Valley Taoist took the opportunity to deliver a palm strike.

Spurt—!

Liu Li spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood and flew backward.

Before she could stop.

Thousand Valley Taoist pursued, intent on killing her: "Go to hell!!"

Just as his sword was about to slash Liu Li's throat, suddenly a streak of white light flashed.

Clang!!

Thousand Valley Taoist's sword was forcibly driven into the ground.

"What?!"

He was bewildered for a moment and was just about to turn his head to look.

Just as he did.

Another flash of white light appeared.

Then.

He felt his head fly up, soaring higher and then beginning to fall.

What's going on?

He hadn't figured out the situation before he hit the ground.

Only when he saw his body.

Did he realize... his head had fallen off...

Elsewhere.

Seeing this, the two disciples of Thousand Valley Taoist also hastily fled.

Qin Feng didn't bother with those two goons and went to help Liu Li, who was lying on the ground, saying, "Are you alright?"

Liu Li spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

Seeing this, Qin Feng had no choice but to carry her on his back and rush up the mountain.

In the room.

After taking Liu Li's pulse, he said to her, "Your injuries are severe right now, I need to heal you, do you understand?"

"Mhm."

Liu Li nodded with difficulty.

"Healing requires targeting some special acupoints, so you'll need to untie your clothes, do you understand?"

Qin Feng asked again.
