?Reading on mobile phone Zero Yuan, the True Immortal, furrowed his brows slightly, but soon relaxed them, smiling. "Young man, do you really think I'll be fooled? Our Bai He Sect has been passing down the tradition for over a thousand years. You expect me to believe that just one sentence is enough? That's ridiculous! I know you're trying to delay time—so I'm quite responsible in telling you now: you've failed!" Qin Feng chuckled. "Old man, am I really that dull? Let me tell you the truth: your three top disciples have brought back a rather seductive woman. I'm sure they're now hosting nightly banquets and celebrations. That woman is quite unusual—she drains men's vital energy. Even though Bai He Sect is composed entirely of cultivators, they merely last longer than ordinary people. Eventually, she'll drain them all dry, leaving only a group of useless ones!" "You're making this up!" Zero Yuan roared, his voice rising. "I simply won't believe such a rumor. Qin Feng, you're still trying to delay me. Since you're so afraid of my actions, then I'll do exactly as you wish!" "Having said that, he flicked his foot, causing the flying sword he was stepping on to detach and immediately launch into attack. Qin Feng said nothing further—he was ready to prove through action that he was not easily intimidated. Swish... swish... The two flying swords charged straight forward, neither side attempting to dodge. Zero Yuan, the True Master, was delighted. In the previous two encounters, he had suffered setbacks simply because Qin Feng had refused to engage him directly. Now, with Qin Feng willing to face him head-on, it was truly a gift from heaven. He was confident of inflicting a serious blow on his opponent in the first round. Thud... The two swords collided, sending out a shower of sparks, and under the force of impact, both were thrown backward together. Qin Feng's sword, however, traveled a greater distance in its backward flight—this difference, typical between a lower-tier and a peak-tier Kui Tian stage cultivator, was entirely reasonable. "What?" "The old man couldn't accept this reality. In his eyes, whenever the two swords collided, it was precisely when Qin Feng spewed blood and suffered a severe injury. Yet now, the outcome was even—drawn. 'Old fellow, haven't you seen it?' Qin the Young said with a cheerful smile. 'With my current strength, do I really need to delay you? Do I need to fabricate stories about myself? Since you don't believe me and have chosen to fight me, then stay here with me today!' 'Overconfident,' he retorted. 'Even if you become a Kui Tian-level master, you won't be able to win me.' All he could do now was hold his ground with stubborn words—deeply astonished. How could it be just a few days ago that this once-unknown youngster had transformed into a Kui Tian-level master? Wasn't there some extraordinary encounter? In his view, that was the only explanation. If it were through ordinary cultivation, how could he achieve such a feat in just a few decades? 'Then let me show you just how strong I am,' he said, raising his hand. 'Ice spear!' "As his voice rang out, a massive ice hammer—over three meters long and more than twenty centimeters in diameter—plummeted from the sky, slicing through the air with a sharp, piercing sound. 'Perfect,' he declared. 'Now you'll see what I'm made of. I'll stand still, letting you strike me as hard as you like—yet you'll never break my spiritual defense shield!' At the same moment, the energy flow around his body surged into a radiant, brilliant glow, amplifying his shield's protective strength by more than threefold. “Hahaha!” This time, Qin Shao burst into loud laughter, pointing at the man rolling on the ground. "Old guy, facts once again prove that mere rank means nothing. You've lost to me for the third time—satisfying, isn't it? Stop crying, it's embarrassing enough. Get up! I'm in a hurry—I've got plenty of things to do after I finish you off!" The old man was truly shaken. The first two times, it had been due to oversight and carelessness—he could still excuse himself. But this time, though? "Old guy, it's time to meet your fate!" Qin Feng leaped high into the air, setting up a fierce offensive stance. The old man didn't hesitate at all; he turned around and took off as soon as he launched his flying sword. "Old guy, show some spirit and don't run! When I catch up to you, I'll take off your head!" Qin Shao pursued him. Yet, there was a clear difference in their speeds. As the one fleeing, Zero Yuan the True Master held a decisive advantage. In just a few seconds, he had pulled well ahead of the young Qin. "Man, how come when I'm trying to escape, he's always running so fast?" Qin Shao, seeing he couldn't catch up, had no choice but to give up, and he was so frustrated that he kept stomping his feet. A white figure flashed through the sky, and the beautiful instructor gracefully descended, landing with a soft touch and smiling, asking, "Xiao Feng, if I'm not mistaken, you must have deliberately let him go, right?" She gave him a mischievous smile and replied, "Why do you think that? Just a moment ago, Brother didn't just shout for him to be killed—several times, in fact. Why would he let him go? That doesn't make logical sense!" Isabel looked at him with deep intent, saying, "Loud shouts don't always mean the heart is in sync. When you were chasing him, you didn't really give it your all!" Qin Feng wrapped his arms around her slender waist, saying, "Does that mean, if I give it my all, I'll actually catch up?" "No, you won't." Isabella shook her head and said, "That old man's escape skills are truly exceptional. Even if you're currently at the lower tier of Kui Tian stage, and even if you reach the peak or the next level, the Stillness stage, you wouldn't necessarily be able to catch up!" "That's no small feat," he chuckled, his smile growing wider. "But if you truly want to keep him, you'd make every effort—even if you can't catch up, wouldn't you?" the beautiful instructor continued analyzing, "Yet you've been all thunder and no rain. The only outcome possible is that he's left terrified. Your real objective, isn't it—to have him return to Bai He Gate and disrupt Liu Yun's plans?" He kissed the beautiful woman passionately and praised, "Sasha, my wife, truly is brilliant—she's instantly grasped my true intentions!" Indeed, he had decided to let Zero Yuan the True Man off the hook. Since their first conflict, the old man had suffered three consecutive setbacks. He now firmly believed he wasn't up to the task and would have to return to seek reinforcements if he hoped to reclaim his ground. What's embarrassing or not, he simply can't manage anymore—his mind has been blazed by the fire of resentment. Yet when he returns to Bai He Gate, he finds the place in chaos. As the Vice Master of the sect, with the Master himself in seclusion, how could he possibly fail to step forward and save the situation? Thus, the immediate consequence becomes the conflict between Zero Yuan and Liu Yun.
