Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

The voice was full of vigor and unwavering anger.

Despite not being appeased, everyone stopped at the sound of the reprimand.

Walking towards them was Elder Cheng Tian; someone had already reported the situation when the two groups first clashed.

Unexpectedly, Elder Cheng Tian didn't even lift his eyelids, "It's just a minor squabble among insignificant people; let them be, they can't cause any real trouble."

Immediately afterward, the situation became one-sided, with Tian Qi and a group of Tengyun Sect disciples being pinned to the ground and beaten beyond recognition, while the remaining disciples stood around, afraid to step forward.

They had lost face tremendously.

Hearing this, Elder Cheng Tian directly flicked his sleeves and arrived with great momentum.

One word, "Stop," left no room for argument, filled with so much anger that the Tengyun Sect disciples who hadn't fallen yet were already kneeling, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Immediately after, Elder Cheng Tian flipped his palm upward, eager to take action and regain face for his disciples.

Elder Cheng Tian's face was filled with smiles, "Since you are all disciples of the Tengyun Sect, then I can be considered your elder.

Now that Ye Kong is not here, I certainly have an obligation to take care of you."

Take care of them?

Like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, with no good intentions.

"We don't need your care. First, have your disciples move away from the entrance of the dining hall and don't block us from going to Ye Kong's private kitchen to eat!" Xiao Man pointed at the disciples whose faces were buried in the mud and made this request to Elder Cheng Tian.

It was only proper.

Tian Qi tremblingly dug his head out of the mud and shouted at the opportune moment, "Master, you must stand up for us!"

Someone kicked him, and he was completely silenced.

Elder Cheng Tian didn't even give him a look. Instead, he walked a few steps closer to Li Fan and the others, "You must be tired of eating at Ye Kong's private kitchen. Why not go to the Cheng Mansion? A special banquet has been prepared there, waiting for you all."

Others might not know, but Li Fan was very familiar with him. Hearing this, he immediately jumped up and waved his hand, "Forget it. We're all tough and thick-skinned, so we won't bother you at the Cheng Mansion."

Elder Cheng Tian's face turned cold, "Everyone should know that Ye Kong is the seventh elder of the Tengyun Sect, right?"

Hearing Ye Kong's name, everyone looked over.

"Every newly appointed elder must undergo a trial on the fifteenth of the new moon. Only by passing it can they officially take the position of elder."

"This year, the location of Ye Kong's trial happens to be at the Cheng Mansion."

The threat within was self-evident.

Elder Cheng Tian stopped there and made a gesture to invite them.

Li Fan gritted his teeth and followed.

Seeing this, the others also followed.

Xiao Man, who had been speaking just now, took advantage of Elder Cheng Tian leading the group and secretly blended into the crowd of disciples, running back to Qingliang Yuan along the way.

Simply put, he wasn't Ye Kong's disciple, so no matter what Ye Kong suffered, it had nothing to do with him.

At the same time, Li Village.

A rooster's crow pierced the sky, the morning glow slowly faded, and the mist that had enveloped the mountain village slowly dissipated, revealing the full view of the village.

Ye Kong slowly opened his eyes.

Before him was a pitch-black darkness. He occasionally smelled the scent of incense. This was actually that ancestral hall.

Ye Kong tried to take a few steps, but was blocked by something invisible in front of him, and he bumped back with a thud.

Ye Kong's eyes were seeing stars from the impact. It took him a long time to react. This time, he reached out and felt around, and rows of iron bars stood there, with rust left over from the years.

Ye Kong tried to pull them out for a long time, but the iron bars were as solid as a rock and could not be moved. He had no choice but to turn around and reach behind him.

After walking about a dozen steps, he was blocked again by the iron bars. Now Ye Kong understood that this was clearly a prepared iron cage.

He used his teleportation technique, but after a moment, Ye Kong saw that he was still in the same place.

Ye Kong took out the brocade pouch he carried with him.

He took out the magical artifacts inside one by one.

He carefully arranged them neatly, and then started trying from the one in front.

In the medicine field.

After struggling for a while with Yu Hai, he finally emerged from the medicine field.

Immediately afterward, he saw the people in the courtyard.

It was the village chief.

And even more villagers from Li Village.

Yu Hai reached out his hand, "Village Chief."

Li Fu didn't move.

Neither did the others.

Everyone looked at him with a strange look.

Yu Hai slowly retracted his hand and looked at the silent room, knowing that Ye Kong's situation was probably not good either, so he could only exert force and pull himself out of the medicine field.

As soon as this thought moved, two villagers appeared behind him, with two long knives pointed at Yu Hai's neck.

"Why?" Yu Hai's eyes showed shock. It wasn't like this. Yesterday, when Ye Kong brought him here, all the villagers happily surrounded them, singing and dancing, very welcoming.

How could they suddenly turn hostile and want to kill him?

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not knowing people well and following a villain like Ye Kong!" Li Fu's eyes were filled with fire, wishing he could cut Ye Kong into a thousand pieces to appease his hatred.

Finally, his eyes relaxed, "But it doesn't matter. We personally built a cage for Ye Kong that will make him wish he were dead, suffering the pain of a heart-eating torture every day."

Then, he looked at Yu Hai, "As for you, you're useless. Abandon him!"

After saying that, he turned around and made a wave gesture.

At this time, Yu Hai had already struggled out of the medicine field and jumped up first, teleporting behind Li Fu and holding a dagger against his lower back.

"Speak, where is Ye Kong?"

Li Fu froze in place, slowly turning around and looking at the dagger against his waist. His eyes lit up, "This, this is the Flowered Handle Knife?"

"That's right, this is my master's knife."

Yu Hai moved the dagger inward an inch, the tip of the knife cut through the clothes and stuck close to the flesh, the cold touch made Li Fu's body shrink, and then he shook his head in disbelief, "Impossible, this is Li Tanhua's personal dagger, he would never give it to anyone. Impossible…"

Yu Hai looked at him, "My master has already passed away, you should have known long ago."

"No, no, how could Li Tanhua die! He can't die! This must be Ye Kong's scheme, he trapped Li Tanhua, just like he is now!" Li Fu's blood rushed to his head.

Yu Hai thought he must be crazy.

In the second that Yu Hai was distracted, a huge iron cage fell down, trapping Yu Hai inside.

"It's a cage like this, Ye Kong has one just like it. Oh, it's much stronger than yours, even with his spiritual power, he can't use even half of it!"

Li Fu had already retreated first, and after saying that, he snatched the Flowered Handle Knife.

After wiping it gently, he put it into his sleeve.

"In that case, I'll keep it for you first. When your master comes, I'll personally hand it over to him!"
