Just as Ye Feng thought this strike would completely kill Lu Minghua, a powerful force suddenly erupted from him, actually blocking his attack!
"Hmm? This is a life-saving charm?"
Ye Feng was instantly shocked, recognizing it as the life-saving charm given by Long Ting to geniuses like Lu Minghua, capable of blocking one fatal attack!
"Heh, however, you could block the first, but can you block the second? Mountain Sea Seal, keep smashing at me!!" Ye Feng sneered, not stopping there in the next second, controlling the Mountain Sea Seal to continue smashing towards Lu Minghua.
"How dare you!!"
Seeing this, the White Tiger Hall Master was completely panicked, shouting loudly to try and stop Ye Feng!
However, upon hearing this, Ye Feng coldly laughed, "Heh heh, what is there that I dare not do? As a person of Long Ting, not only are you so despicable, but you also use evil weapons. He deserves to die!!"
With that, Ye Feng didn't wait for the White Tiger Hall Master to reply, and the Mountain Sea Seal in his hand smashed towards Lu Minghua, intending to kill him!
Seeing this, the White Tiger Hall Master could no longer hold back. He raised his hand, and a giant spiritual energy hand appeared, wanting to seize the opportunity to save Lu Minghua!
Rules are dead, but people are alive. Lu Minghua, as the genius he had cultivated since childhood, was like his own son. How could he watch him die before his eyes?
However, the moment he made his move, a cold snort suddenly sounded, "Hmph, Hong Qi, you have quite the audacity, wanting to save someone from Feng'er's hands. Do you think my Qin family doesn't exist?"
Before the words even fell, the aura arrived first. An unseen force struck the White Tiger Hall Master like Mount Tai, blasting him away!
"What?"
This scene stunned everyone present, their faces filled with disbelief. The White Tiger Hall Master, a master at the Half-step Unity realm, was actually blown away?
At first, everyone thought it was the Second Elder Qin He who had made the move, and they all turned to look.
But then they discovered it wasn't him, but an old man in a long robe, who was now standing majestically in the arena!
It was the current Patriarch of the Qin family, Old Master Qin!
"Hong Qi, I spared you because you are from Long Ting, but this is all your own doing. You want to interfere with the competition, what do you take my Qin family for?"
Old Master Qin spoke domineeringly. He had given the White Tiger chances, but he didn't cherish them. Now he wanted to make a move, did he really think the Qin family were dead men?
Hearing this, the White Tiger Hall Master ignored his internal injuries and stood up with a pale face. At this moment, he finally remembered Qin Mingyuan's words from before.
He hoped he wouldn't regret it!
At that time, he had dismissed it and still chose to let the competition proceed. But now, he finally understood that it wasn't a jest, but a death warrant!
However, Lu Minghua was like his son, and he couldn't just watch him die here!
Finally, his legs bent, and he did something that surprised everyone in the arena.
He actually knelt down towards Old Master Qin!
"Old Qin, I know this is our fault, and I am willing to bear all consequences. I only beg the Qin family to spare Minghua's life!!" the White Tiger Hall Master pleaded.
After he finished speaking, everyone felt as if the White Tiger Hall Master had aged more than ten years, his entire demeanor no longer possessing its former spirit.
At this moment, it was as if the person before them was not the renowned Fourth Hall Master of Long Ting, but an old father pleading for his son.
"This..."
In an instant, everyone fell silent, including Old Master Qin and many other members of the Qin family.
For the sake of Lu Minghua, the White Tiger Hall Master actually knelt down and begged for mercy in front of everyone?
However, just as everyone thought Old Master Qin would stop there, they saw him look at Ye Feng.
It was clear that this was giving the decision-making power to Ye Feng!
Seeing this, Ye Feng fell silent. To be honest, he really wanted to kill this guy, but seeing the White Tiger Hall Master kneel down to beg for mercy for him made him unsure of what to do.
He could ignore Lu Minghua's life or death, but the White Tiger Hall Master was, after all, Su Keqing's master. He couldn't ignore this!
Seeing his hesitation, Old Master Qin thought he was worried about retaliation from Long Ting and immediately said, "Make your decision with confidence, Xiao Feng. If you kill him, the Qin family will kill for you, and no one will dare to target you for it!!"
Ye Feng was his grandson, the only descendant of the Qin family. Let alone killing Lu Minghua, even if it were someone else, the Qin family would not fear them!
However, this single sentence instantly made Ye Feng make up his mind.
"Alright, since Grandpa Qin has spoken, then spare his life. But a death sentence can be avoided, yet a living crime cannot escape punishment. I will cripple his cultivation today as a form of punishment!"
Killing him was indeed an option, but after killing him, the Qin family and Long Ting would inevitably clash, which he did not want to see.
Moreover, for cultivators, especially geniuses like Lu Minghua, crippling their cultivation was more painful than killing them. Therefore, Ye Feng ultimately chose to cripple Lu Minghua!
Seeing this, the White Tiger Hall Master and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were truly afraid that Ye Feng would impulsively kill Lu Minghua.
At that time, they couldn't imagine what would happen between the Qin family and Long Ting. If that happened, China would truly fall into chaos!
As Lu Minghua watched his cultivation, which he had painstakingly cultivated for twenty years, being crippled by Ye Feng, he went completely mad. In the end, he couldn't hold on and fainted on the spot.
Seeing this, the White Tiger Hall Master immediately hugged him, said nothing, and turned to leave swiftly.
Watching his retreating figure, the crowd felt a myriad of emotions.
The dignified Fourth Hall Master of Long Ting, a master at the Half-step Unity realm, had actually left in such a dejected manner!
To be honest, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that this was Long Ting!
But none of that mattered anymore. Looking at Ye Feng before them, this descendant of the Qin family, everyone knew that the sky in the capital had changed...
At the same time, in the western part of China, with the spiritual energy resurgence, various forces began to emerge, including countless evil cultivators who had committed heinous crimes.
Due to the natural terrain, the western region was either mountains or jungles, making it a hiding place for many evil cultivators since ancient times.
And in the depths of a certain hidden mountain, there was such a sect, which had a name that resonated throughout the cultivation world: the Joyful Union Sect!
At this moment, in the main hall of the Joyful Union Sect, a man with a sinister appearance and lecherous eyes said to his subordinates below, "How is it? Have you found the hundred peerless beauties I asked you to find?"
Hearing this, the subordinate immediately replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Sect Master, ninety-eight have been found, and there are still two..."
As he said this, the subordinate paused, as if there was something unspeakable.
Instantly, the lecherous young man frowned and shouted, "Hmm? What is it? What's with the hesitation? Speak!"
"Yes!" Hearing this, the subordinate trembled and said, "Originally, all one hundred were found, but two escaped with the help of their families. Our people are currently pursuing them!"
"What?" Hearing this, the lecherous man was shocked and furious, "Which two families dared to defy the orders of my Joyful Union Sect!!"
The subordinate's respectful voice came, "Reporting to the Sect Master, they are two minor families, the Lin family and the Murong family. But rest assured, I have already sent people to exterminate these two families..."
