Chapter 80: Sect War, About To Break Out!
Qin Feilong and the others immediately released their strength and retreated into the formation.
Before others could tell them to rest, they saw the young men coincidentally all sit down with a thud, tilting their heads back and gasping for air, unable to endure even a little.
Looking at Zhao Congbai and the others outside who were anxiously stomping their feet but had no way to help, several people exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Such a tiny Cong Bai, daring to be arrogant!
Duan Hua said, “The Mysterious Tortoise Shell Formation can last for at least twelve hours, so all fellow disciples can rest to your heart’s content.”
Qin Yunxi sat cross-legged and closed her eyes to rest. Although the Mysterious Tortoise Shell Formation was powerful, it also consumed them greatly. Currently, she and Duan Hua only had thirty to forty percent of their spiritual power left.
After Ming Zhaoshuang and the others recovered slightly, they also sat cross-legged to restore their spiritual power.
Once their spiritual power is restored, we’ll beat these scoundrels!
Meanwhile, the conflict between the Ao Tian Sect and the Lingxiao Sect was on the verge of erupting.
A thousand cultivators, in a vast and mighty procession, flew on their swords, with the two peaks facing each other.
Qin Du stood at the forefront, wielding the low-grade Earth Tier Spirit Sword Wen Song, followed closely by the Peak Master Xiu Tian, who wielded the low-grade Earth Tier Spirit Sword Yan Yan.
The aura of both of them was fully unleashed, causing the Lingxiao Sect cultivators in front to feel as if they were facing a great enemy.
The Sect Master Lingxiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking to himself that one Peak Master Xiu Tian was already enough for him to handle, let alone Qin Du, whose cultivation was a realm higher than his.
Behind the Sect Master Lingxiao, dozens of Lingxiao Sect elders also felt a chill down their spines.
The Sect Master Lingxiao said, “Sect Master Qin, didn’t we agree to negotiate! Why did you bring so many people!”
“Then look, have they made a move?”
Qin Du, without showing any fear, smiled and looked at the Sect Master Lingxiao, “I’d like to see what you can negotiate.”
The Sect Master Lingxiao said, “Then it might not be too good to talk here.”
The wind was high and the sky was vast, making people feel chilly.
The main reason was that the Sect Master Lingxiao truly lacked Qin Du’s confidence. He didn’t want to lose face in front of his disciples, so he wanted to find a place for private discussion to preserve his dignity.
In terms of sect heritage, the Lingxiao Sect was indeed inferior to the Ao Tian Sect.
Fighting the Ao Tian Sect would be harmful and beneficial in no way.
But Qin Du had no intention of giving the Sect Master Lingxiao any face.
He directly drew his sword, “Speak here!”
The Sect Master Lingxiao said helplessly, “First of all, the grievances your younger sister suffered in Shuangyu Village were indeed due to my negligence as Sect Master. However, your sister also trespassed into our Lingxiao Sect’s territory first.”
Hearing about Qin Zhi’s experience, even an outsider like him felt it was tragic, so he had nothing to say about that point.
It was just that if an argument could be made, he would argue.
Upon hearing this, Qin Du sneered, “Grievances? Everything that Zhizhi experienced in your Lingxiao Sect, and it is only referred to as ‘grievances’ in your mouth?”
“If I gave you these grievances, would you want them!”
Seeing Qin Du’s anger, the Sect Master Lingxiao immediately became soft-boned and quickly said, “Sect Master Qin, we are negotiating, negotiating! Honestly, what your younger sister suffered in Shuangyu Village is not something we could control.”
Qin Du cursed angrily, “If you can’t even control a small Shuangyu Village, then I don’t think you should be the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect anymore.”
“You say my sister trespassed into your Lingxiao Sect’s territory first. Let me ask you, where exactly was my sister found unconscious! If Zhang Yaozong hadn’t dragged Zhizhi into Shuangyu Village, would she have suffered such humiliation!”
The Sect Master Lingxiao said, “Then I would also say that if Zhang Yaozong hadn’t picked up Qin Zhi, Qin Zhi would have long since been devoured by spiritual beasts. How could she still be alive now!”
The Lingxiao Sect never expected that an ordinary mortal could cause them so much trouble.
It was truly annoying!
It was already not enough to clean up Ling Yangping’s messes normally, but now they had to clean up a mortal’s mess too.
“Then I’d rather Zhizhi be devoured by spiritual beasts! Than live a life worse than death for over thirty years!”
Qin Du was furious upon hearing this and, unable to restrain himself, swung his sword directly at the Sect Master Lingxiao!
He was so angry that he couldn’t believe the Sect Master Lingxiao not only didn’t care about Qin Zhi’s suffering but also used it to threaten him.
What a joke! For someone as proud as Qin Zhi, being devoured by spiritual beasts would be better than living a life worse than death like this!
The Sect Master Lingxiao blocked his sword and said angrily, “You say Qin Zhi has suffered so much bullying and humiliation, what evidence do you have! If you are just making things up, then wouldn’t our Lingxiao Sect be enduring your anger for no reason!”
The Sect Master Lingxiao naturally knew that what Qin Du said was true, but he also knew that Ming Zhaoshuang and the others had already slaughtered all the villagers of Shuangyu Village, leaving only some young women.
If those young women came forward to testify, wouldn’t it mean to everyone that they had been violated?
The Sect Master Lingxiao was gambling, betting that the Ao Tian Sect would act with righteousness and not force those young women.
Betting that those young women were timid and afraid, and wouldn’t dare to speak out.
Qin Du said angrily, “Very well, very well! Go bring Zhang Yaozong and Zhang Yaozu to this Sect Master! I’d like to see what else you have to say!”
As he spoke, an elder arrived, carrying the battered Zhang Yaozong and Zhang Yaozu, riding on swords.
The Sect Master Lingxiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “What kind of witnesses are these two? Then I’ll say they are not people who grew up in our Lingxiao Sect’s territory, and that you deliberately coerced them!”
“Look at the wounds on their bodies yourself, do they look like they were coerced by you!”
Saying this, the Sect Master Lingxiao swung his sword towards Zhang Yaozong and Zhang Yaozu, clearly intending to silence them and not give them a chance to speak.
Fortunately, the elder’s cultivation was extremely high, having reached the Mid Nascent Soul stage, and he easily evaded it.
However, Zhang Yaozong and the other two, suspended in the air, were so scared that they wet their pants and started screaming.
The elder glanced at the two with disdain and was already considering the possibility of throwing them down to their deaths.
Qin Du never expected the Sect Master Lingxiao to be so shameless, and in his rage, he didn’t know what to say.
He just kept swinging his sword at the Sect Master Lingxiao.
The Sect Master Lingxiao dodged and said, “Sect Master Qin, have you thought this through! If you make a move now, it will be your Ao Tian Sect being aggressive, and you will be ridiculed by the world!”
Qin Du’s anger surged in his heart at this moment, and he couldn’t care less about being ridiculed by the world.
He stood holding Wen Song, his eyes blazing with anger, and instantly began fighting the Sect Master Lingxiao.
The cultivation of the two was extremely high, and during their fight, their auras surged, and spiritual flows clashed. None of the elders and disciples of the Ao Tian Sect and Lingxiao Sect standing by dared to step forward to intervene, instead choosing to sit aside and watch the show.
In almost an instant, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.
Suddenly, Qin Du exerted his strength, and the sword edge mixed with spiritual power thrust towards the Sect Master Lingxiao.
The Sect Master Lingxiao’s cultivation was not as high as his, and caught off guard, he directly took Qin Du’s sword, and blood splattered through the long sky!
At this moment, the elders of the Lingxiao Sect finally couldn’t sit still. Each of them drew their long swords and said to Qin Du, “Sect Master Qin! To beat our Sect Master like this in front of everyone, do you truly want an endless fight with our Lingxiao Sect!”
Qin Du said angrily, “Come on! An endless fight! Let’s see who dies first!”
Peak Master Xiu Tian now understood that if he didn’t stop Qin Du, this guy might really intend to fight these elders on the spot.
He immediately stopped Qin Du and said, “Sect Master! Stop, stop! It doesn’t matter if we fight, but we must at least vindicate Junior Sister Qin!”
Their journey was to vindicate Junior Sister Qin, to vindicate the women of Qian City who were abducted and trafficked, not to vent their own anger.
If it were truly as the Sect Master Lingxiao said, then even if they fought, everyone in the world would think that their Ao Tian Sect was unreasonable and aggressive.
Then what was the meaning of their righteous path?
But the problem now was that many people knew these things, yet none could speak them.
Even Qin Zhi, in her current state, couldn’t handle any stimulation.
And the most powerful witnesses to all of this had all entered the Talisman Saint’s Secret Realm and couldn’t come out for quite some time.
