Li Qing was caught off guard by Ling Feiwu's attack. Even if he had reacted, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it. He took the full force of Ling Feiwu's attack, his face turning bright red.
"Bang!"
Li Qing was sent flying backward, crashing onto the ground some distance away, causing the entire pavilion to shake. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, staring at Ling Feiwu in disbelief.
"Junior Sister, you...?"
Li Qing couldn't believe that Ling Feiwu would attack him. Could it be that his junior sister coveted his senior brother's position and wanted to kill him to seize it?
Little did he know, Ling Feiwu was even more shocked at this moment. She did not answer Li Qing's question, but whispered, "The Sect Meader was right. Senior Brother really does have a terrifying Physique!"
Although Ling Feiwu didn't dare to use her full strength in that attack, she still used one-tenth of her power. She is now a Profound General Realm expert, and one-tenth of her power is enough to easily kill a mortal. Under her deliberate control, it is also enough to make the mortal unable to stand up.
Li Qing, however, only spat out a mouthful of blood before staggering to his feet. Although he was injured, he was not seriously injured.
"Senior Brother, Feiwu is doing this for your own good!" Ling Feiwu looked at Li Qing, who had a face full of grief and indignation, and smiled playfully.
? ? ?
Are you hitting me for my own good?
Junior Sister, you probably don't know how shrewd fat people are!
Judging from your posture, you clearly covet your senior brother's position as the senior disciple of the Immortal Divine Sect and want to kill him to seize the position!
Li Qing looked at Ling Feiwu with a mixture of emotions, wondering how to break the current situation. There was no other way but to find the Sect Master. But how could he, a mere mortal, escape from his Junior Sister's clutches?
"Senior Brother, the Sect Master said you have an Extraordinary Physique and asked me to spar with you. As long as I don't kill you, I can spar with you however I want!" Seeing that Li Qing still looked doubtful, Ling Feiwu quickly said.
? ? ?
An Extraordinary Physique?
How could I, Li Qing, not know this?
"Did I do something wrong and offend the Sect Master?" Li Qing glanced at Ling Feiwu and asked cautiously.
"You really have an Extraordinary Physique!" Hearing Li Qing's words, Ling Feiwu was both amused and exasperated, and then said to Li Qing with a serious expression.
"Really?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Could it be that I really am a peerless genius?" Seeing Ling Feiwu's extremely serious expression, Li Qing's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself.
"Then why am I still just a mortal? Shouldn't a peerless genius cultivate as easily as drinking water?"
"Because your constitution hasn't been activated yet!"
"How do I activate it?"
"By getting hit!"
? ? ?
If Ling Feiwu hadn't looked so serious, Li Qing would have suspected that she was deliberately teasing him or looking for a plausible excuse to beat him up. Sure enough, his junior sister was still eyeing the position of senior brother.
Bang!
While Li Qing was pondering, Ling Feiwu did not forget her purpose for coming here. Her figure moved gracefully and appeared in front of Li Qing in an instant. She struck out with a palm, and Li Qing was once again sent flying, crashing to the ground some distance away.
"Junior Sister! How about we ask the Sect Master to come?" Li Qing felt that if he continued like this, he might be beaten to death by Junior Sister Fei Wu.
"The Sect Master is afraid of accidentally killing you with one palm, so he asked me to train you first!" Ling Feiwu said with a playful smile.
If one ignores the surging Profound Qi in her hands, Ling Feiwu's sweet smile and gentle voice are enough to make Li Qing fall for her.
"Ah... Junior Sister, be gentle, have mercy!"
"Stop...hitting me."
Suddenly, a series of ghostly wails and howls erupted from the pavilion where Li Qing was, enough to bring tears to the eyes of those who heard them and move them deeply.
Wang Feng, who happened to be at Li Qing's pavilion to see if Ling Feiwu had done her best, heard the wailing and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. With such a good Junior Sister who helped her Senior Brother, Li Qing would surely be able to activate his Physique and become an unparalleled genius.
Satisfied, Wang Feng turned and returned to his Sect Master's Hall.
---
Less than a thousand miles away from the valley where the Immortal Sect is located, there is a towering mountain peak that reaches into the clouds. This peak is called Lingxiao. On Lingxiao Peak, there is a palace complex with distinct levels. If anyone steps into this place, they will surely sigh that it is a magnificent immortal aura.
This palace complex is the location of the Lingyun Sect, which is famous in the outer region of the Starry Mountain Range. The Lingyun Sect may not be well-known in the entire Shining Sun Empire, but it is a well-known major sect in the area around the Starry Mountain Range.
At this moment, Chen Feng, the Sect Master of Lingyun Sect, whose cultivation had reached the Entry Phase Realm, was sitting on the Sect Master's throne, looking at the many elders of Lingyun Sect below with a serious expression!
"Sect Master, the Demon Sealing Conference is about to begin, and Chen Xin has not yet broken through to the Profound General Realm. This time, I'm afraid our Lingyun Sect will not be able to enter the Demon Sealing Ranking!" Elder Qiu Wanfeng of the Lingyun Sect said solemnly, his voice echoing throughout the entire hall.
The elders of Lingyun Sect inside the main hall also became solemn upon hearing Qiu Wanfeng's words.
"The Demon Sealing Tournament is of utmost importance, and our Lingyun Sect must compete for it no matter what. The Demon Sealing Ranking is also related to whether we can join the Shining Sun Academy, and our Lingyun Sect cannot afford to miss it!"
Upon hearing Elder Qiu Wanfeng's words, Chen Feng glanced at the many elders and said in a deep voice.
"However, this time, the decree issued by that person stipulates that only younger disciples can participate in the Demon Sealing Assembly, which is different from the past. In my Lingyun Sect, apart from Chen Xin who has reached the Peak-stage Spirit Communication Realm, there is no other disciple at the Peak-stage Spirit Communication Realm. How can we compete with the geniuses of other major sects?"
A hint of anxiety flashed across Elder Qiu Wanfeng's face as he solemnly said.
Upon hearing this, the many Lingyun Sect elders in the hall, including Sect Master Chen Feng, all had a solemn expression, their eyes flashing with a heavy look.
Chen Xin is Chen Feng's son. At only nineteen years old, he has reached the Peak-stage Spirit Communication Realm and is the number one among the younger generation of Lingyun Sect. He seems to be exceptionally talented, but in the entire Shining Sun Empire, he is not even considered a top genius.
"Has anything happened recently on the outskirts of the Starry Mountains?"
Having not yet come up with a good solution, Chen Feng's eyes flashed, and he asked.
"The Ling family of Yaofeng City was destroyed by the Changlin Marquisate. The eldest daughter of the Ling family fled to the outskirts of Starry Mountain Range, where she was hunted down by the young marquis of Changlin Marquisate. Her fate is still unknown!" Upon hearing this, Elder Qiu Wanfeng's expression shifted, and he spoke up.
"The Ling family's affairs involve the power struggles among the high-level officials of the Shining Sun Empire, which is beyond our reach. As for the eldest daughter of the Ling family, she is now a plague; whoever offends her will suffer. Our Lingyun Sect must never get involved with her!"
Chen Feng's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Every marquis in the Shining Sun Empire is at least a powerful expert at the Nobility Realm. They are not people that ordinary sects like ours can afford to offend. A powerful expert at the Nobility Realm could easily destroy our Lingyun Sect."
"Yes, Wanfeng knows! When the eldest daughter of the Ling family fled to the outskirts of the Starry Mountains, I sent disciples of the Lingyun Sect to investigate. However, after the appearance of the young marquis of Changlin Marquisate, I withdrew the disciples of the Lingyun Sect to avoid provoking him!"
"Well done! Although The young marquis is a playboy, he is quite favored by Marquis of Changlin. This boy has an eccentric temperament, and once you provoke him, he is like a worm that gnaws at your bones and you can't get rid of him." Hearing the words of the Grand Elder, Chen Feng nodded and spoke up.
"Besides that, is there anything else?"
"There's another strange thing!"
"Oh? Tell me about it!" Chen Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared intently at Qiu Wanfeng and spoke.
"Less than a thousand miles away from my Lingyun Sect, in a small valley, yesterday, the aura of a Profound General Realm cultivator was detected. According to the sect disciples' investigation, this Profound General Realm cultivator may have just broken through!" Qiu Wanfeng said hurriedly, not daring to be negligent.
"Could it be that a young rogue cultivator has obtained an opportunity on the outskirts of the Starry Mountain Range and thus broken through to the Profound General Realm?" Upon hearing Elder Qiu Wanfeng's words, Chen Feng was shocked, his eyes gleaming, and he said in a deep voice.
Apart from independent cultivators, almost no disciples of major sects attempt to break through outside the sect. After all, breaking through to the Profound General Realm is of utmost importance, and a slight mishap could lead to interruption and loss of the opportunity to break through.
Therefore, any disciple of a major sect who senses that they are about to break through will inevitably return to their sect and have the sect's experts protect them so that they can break through in peace.
"I don't know. At the time, that disciple didn't dare to get close to investigate; he only sensed the aura from afar!" Elder Qiu Wanfeng shook his head and said.
"Since such a genius has appeared on the outskirts of my Starry Mountain Range, it is an opportunity for my Lingyun Sect."
"With Chen Xin's aptitude, even with the full support of my Lingyun Sect, he probably won't be able to break through to the Profound General Realm in a short time."
"Perhaps we can let this unfamiliar genius represent my Lingyun Sect in the Demon Sealing Tournament and win a ranking for my Lingyun Sect!"
Chen Feng suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and said in a deep voice, his tone filled with excitement.
When the elders of Lingyun Sect in the hall heard Chen Feng's words, they were all shocked, and their eyes gleamed!
"Sect Master, this is a feasible plan!"
"Yes, among the younger generation at the Profound General Realm, while they may not be considered top-tier prodigies, it's still possible for them to occupy a place on the Demon Sealing Ranking!"
"Indeed, Heaven is helping my Lingyun Sect!"
The elders present discussed among themselves, as if the young man who had broken through to the Profound General Realm had already become a disciple of their Lingyun Sect.
"Sect Master, what if that person already has a sect?" Elder Qiu Wanfeng was not as optimistic as the other elders present. He asked with a solemn expression.
"If he is a disciple of a major sect, then so be it! If he is a disciple of a minor sect, bring him back first, then destroy his sect and leave him permanently in my Lingyun Sect!"
Upon hearing Elder Qiu Wanfeng's words, a ruthless glint flashed in Chen Feng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice!
In this cruel world of cultivation, how can one survive without being ruthless?
"Yes!" Elder Qiu Wanfeng cupped his hands in greeting, showing no discomfort whatsoever, but rather speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Such things are extremely common in the Immortal Continent. Sometimes, when a small sect produces a prodigy, it is not a good thing, but rather a disaster.
"You handle this personally!" Chen Feng glanced at Qiu Wanfeng, his eyes narrowing slightly, and instructed him.
