Feng Qi felt utterly wronged and had no words to defend himself.
What merits did he have to compare with all the women in the Heavenly Spring Pavilion?
Was he really risking his life?
Then he realized something.
He seemed to have been led astray by Mu Yunxin's nonsense.
He had come to pursue a murderer, not to flirt.
His expression turned cold, and his voice carried a hint of murderous intent.
"Miss Mu, we saw with our own eyes that the murderer escaped into the Heavenly Spring Pavilion. No matter how you argue, you won't be able to shield the culprit. If you refuse to see reason, we'll have no choice but to forcibly enter the Heavenly Spring Pavilion."
"However, there are many fairies in the Heavenly Spring Pavilion. If we happen to injure any of them, please don't blame us."
As Feng Qi's threat hung in the air, Mu Yunxin's expression gradually cooled.
"Young Master Feng, although the Heavenly Spring Pavilion is filled with women, we are not people who can be easily bullied."
The atmosphere in front of the Heavenly Spring Pavilion became tense, a sense of hostility spreading through the air.
"Since Miss Mu insists on protecting the murderer, then I will have no choice but to force my way in," Feng Qi replied coldly.
"Are you planning to fight me in the market, Young Master Feng? With our strengths, if we were to engage, the entire market would likely be destroyed before we could determine the victor."
Mu Yunxin and Feng Qi were of equivalent cultivation, both at the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Mu Yunxin was concerned that their battle would spill over into the Heavenly Spring Pavilion, resulting in too many casualties.
Feng Qi also worried about the destruction it would cause to the market.
"Then I will wait for you on the small mountain ten miles to the east."
After speaking, Feng Qi turned to Song Wen and the others, addressing Leng Tianlu.
"I ask the three elders to keep a close watch on the Heavenly Spring Pavilion; no one is allowed to enter or exit. I will meet with Miss Mu."
As soon as he finished, he flew towards the eastern part of the market.
Following closely, Mu Yunxin also flew eastward.
Soon, strong fluctuations of spiritual power resonated in the sky to the east.
"Elder Wu, who do you think is stronger between them?" Liu Jiang asked.
Song Wen shook his head. "It's hard to say. Elder Feng serves in the Law Enforcement Hall and specializes in killing techniques, making him a difficult opponent within the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Mu Yunxin is likely not an ordinary individual, either, as she manages the Heavenly Spring Pavilion. Furthermore, the charm techniques of the Hehuan Sect are unparalleled in the cultivation world. A slight misstep could lead to disaster."
Upon hearing Song Wen's analysis, Liu Jiang nodded in agreement.
However, Leng Tianlu seemed a bit displeased.
He looked at Song Wen with disdain, his tone mocking.
"Hmph! A frog at the bottom of a well dares to evaluate Elder Feng. Elder Feng is a renowned genius in our Law Enforcement Hall, having mastered fire-based techniques to perfection. During the battle between justice and evil, he single-handedly slayed a peak Foundation Establishment demon cultivator when he was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage."
Song Wen and Liu Jiang exchanged astonished glances at Leng Tianlu's words.
Slaying a peak Foundation Establishment demon cultivator at the late Foundation Establishment stage was indeed an impressive feat.
Seeing their reaction, Leng Tianlu felt satisfied and raised his head proudly, looking towards the eastern sky.
It was as if he were the one who had slain the peak Foundation Establishment demon cultivator.
Song Wen and Liu Jiang also looked eastward.
A blazing fire illuminated half the sky to the east.
Countless fireballs rained down from above, igniting vast stretches of dense forest below, creating roaring flames.
The results of the battle were just as Leng Tianlu had described.
About the length of an incense stick later.
Feng Qi returned unscathed, flying his sword back to the Heavenly Spring Pavilion.
Mu Yunxin, blood at the corner of her mouth and her hair disheveled, appeared quite disheveled as she followed behind Feng Qi back to the Heavenly Spring Pavilion.
"Miss Mu, the outcome is clear. I don't want to massacre in the Heavenly Spring Pavilion, so please bring out the people," Feng Qi said imperiously.
Mu Yunxin was heavily injured and could barely stand, relying on the doorframe of the Heavenly Spring Pavilion for support.
She gritted her teeth against the excruciating pain from her injuries and said nothing.
Two women rushed out from the Heavenly Spring Pavilion to help support Mu Yunxin.
One of the women was Ji Ruxue.
The other woman had a small bell hanging at her waist.
Song Wen and Liu Jiang exchanged glances.
This bell was almost identical to the one held by the attackers during the assault on the Spirit Beast Breeding Workshop.
"Senior Sister Mu, are you okay?"
The woman with the small bell asked with concern.
"I'm fine, Xiao Gu. He wouldn't dare to kill me," Mu Yunxin replied.
Xiao Gu raised her head, her eyes filled with anger as she glared at Feng Qi.
"I'm Xi Xiaogu, and she's Ji Ruxue. We are the ones who attacked your Spirit Beast Breeding Workshop, so come at us if you dare."
Feng Qi said, "Since both of you admit that you killed the dozens of Beast Cultivation sect members, then you must come with us."
Xi Xiaogu replied coldly, "With just you, do you really think you can capture us? You're not qualified."
Feng Qi raised an eyebrow and laughed.
"Oh? Are you two mid Foundation Establishment cultivators really stronger than Miss Mu, who is at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment?"
Ji Ruxue suddenly interjected, "We may not be your match, but there are those who can easily defeat you."
As her words fell, a figure in red flew swiftly from the horizon.
The speed of the newcomer exceeded the limits of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and in an instant, she appeared before the Heavenly Spring Pavilion.
Her flowing red dress billowed in the wind, exuding a heroic demeanor.
Her eyes sparkled with intensity, as if imbued with the light of a sword.
When Song Wen recognized the newcomer, his eyes widened in shock.
It was Yan Yuyan, a Golden Core cultivator from the Xuantian Sword Sect, with whom he had crossed paths before.
Her severed arm had already been reattached.
Moreover, Song Wen could clearly sense that
Yan Yuyan's cultivation had significantly improved since their last meeting.
Just by standing there, she exuded a powerful aura, as if a towering mountain loomed before them, evoking awe and fear.
Yan Yuyan's expression was indifferent, her icy gaze sweeping over Song Wen and the others, finally landing on Leng Tianlu.
"It's you who injured my disciple!"
As her voice fell, a sharp sword light suddenly appeared in Leng Tianlu's horrified gaze, striking him with lightning speed.
Leng Tianlu didn't even have time to react before the sword light pierced through his chest.
Blood burst forth.
A terrifying and gruesome wound stretched from Leng Tianlu's right shoulder through to his lower left abdomen.
He was sent flying like a kite with a severed string, blood spraying through the air.
After being thrown hundreds of meters away, he crashed heavily into a courtyard.
With a roll of his eyes, he fainted.
The sudden turn of events left Song Wen and the others in stunned silence, not daring to move an inch.
Although this was the territory of the Beast Cultivation Sect, if Yan Yuyan disregarded the consequences and went on a killing spree, they could only accept their fate.
After injuring Leng Tianlu, Yan Yuyan turned her gaze to Feng Qi.
"It was you who injured Mu's nephew!"
Feng Qi's face turned pale, a wave of intense fear washing over him.
The gruesome scene of Leng Tianlu flashed vividly in his mind.
"Senior, please see clearly. I was just sparring with Miss Mu, and I didn't use lethal force."
