Chapter 912:
A distinct expression of displeasure flashed across Feng Xiao Xiao’s fair cheeks.
She spoke in a cold tone, her voice resounding like thunder, "Senior Lei He, Senior Yun Hui. The original purpose of activating the City Defense Array was to protect against the Evil Demon’s siege!"
"Every activation requires a large amount of Spirit Stones as a foundation. If it’s arbitrarily shut down, the resulting losses would be incalculable!"
"Both seniors, you should be well aware of this!"
Soon, Master Lei He’s voice came, "Daoist Feng, rest assured, we will definitely make up for the lost Spirit Stones."
"Daoist Feng, if there’s anything else you’re dissatisfied with, feel free to speak!"
Feng Xiao Xiao certainly noticed.
This group of people today would refuse to back down unless they got to see Qin Qi!
Though she was extremely unwilling and utterly loathed this threat.
She was also aware that their words were not mere empty threats, but rather a real reflection of the fact that her City Defense Array was powerless against these strong leaders.
With this thought, Feng Xiao Xiao could only sigh softly.
"Alright then, I’ll unlock the array now!"
The words echoed out.
Feng Xiao Xiao understood that it was now impossible to solely enjoy Qin Qi’s presence like this.
With a gentle wave of her hand, "Xu Yang, dismantle the City Defense Array and let these various powerhouses in!"
Xu Yang could only brace himself to rally his fellow disciples to action swiftly.
In about half an incense stick’s time, the gigantic blue protective shield that covered the entire city, formed by countless Spirit Stones, gradually dissipated.
Feng Xiao Xiao beckoned with a wave of her sleeve, "Xu Yang, invite these people to the guest hall in my mansion!"
"Yes!" Xu Yang proceeded to carry out the task.
Feng Xiao Xiao turned her gaze to Qin Qi.
As expected, Qin Qi displayed utmost respect.
Feng Xiao Xiao said sternly, "You heard it too, the various factions are here today mainly because of you!"
"Qin Qi, just now... do you think the process was fitting?"
Upon saying this, her pretty face turned crimson with embarrassment.
For someone as exalted as a Core Formation Stage expert, to have to relinquish her dignity and talk to Qin Qi in such a manner.
But at this critical moment, she couldn’t afford to care too much.
Qin Qi replied, "Senior, I found the process to be quite satisfying!"
Feng Xiao Xiao bit her lip gently.
After all, she had personally used her hand...
Used her hand to assist Qin Qi.
How could he not be pleased?
"In that case, what are your thoughts on joining my ranks?"
Qin Qi was about to speak.
Suddenly, Master Lei He’s voice came again, "Daoist Feng, we are already in the guest hall, if City Lord Feng isn’t coming to greet us personally, why have we not seen anyone yet?"
Feng Xiao Xiao bit her silver teeth.
This group of people was really sly, giving her no chance to spend some time alone with Qin Qi.
At this point, she had no choice but to muster her courage, "I’m coming right away!"
After all, among them were Nascent Soul Stage experts. If she lost her manners, it wouldn’t go unnoticed.
"Alright, let’s go!" Feng Xiao Xiao parted her lips slightly.
Qin Qi couldn’t say much, following closely behind Feng Xiao Xiao.
Soon, the two arrived in the guest hall.
The guest hall was already full of people.
Upon closer inspection, divided by seats, there were more than a dozen groups.
Among them was Bai Qingrou.
Bai Qingrou had specially dressed up today, accompanied by two disciples. Upon Qin Qi’s arrival, a complex expression flashed in her eyes,
Aside from Bai Qingrou, Qin Qi was familiar with the two groups sitting at the very front.
It was Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Ming Tong.
However, beside the two sat two imposing middle-aged men.
Qin Qi scrutinized them, finding their cultivation unfathomable, making him feel like being sucked into an endless abyss.
A sensation as if he couldn’t extricate himself.
"Such a powerful Sea of Consciousness!" Qin Qi took a deep breath.
And upon entering the guest hall,
The mysterious woman seemed to vanish entirely, no longer making a sound.
Evidently, even with his current cultivation, it was entirely possible for these two to detect the presence of the mysterious woman.
"These are Nascent Soul Stage experts?"
Qin Qi wondered silently in his mind.
He hadn’t even seen the tip of the iceberg when it came to the true power of a Core Formation Stage expert. And here were Nascent Soul Stage experts, whose strength far surpassed the Core Formation Stage.
Indeed, it piqued his curiosity to no end.
"Master, this is Qin Qi." Wei Ling’Er explained with a bright, joyful smile upon seeing Qin Qi.
Instantly, Qin Qi felt numerous pairs of eyes fixated on him.
Evidently, they were all sufficiently curious about him.
"Qin Qi, paying respects to all seniors!" Qin Qi politely addressed them.
"Though his cultivation might be a bit low, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage at such a young age is already remarkable!"
"This lad, judging by his life force, seems just over twenty years old!"
There were murmurs among several individuals.
Master Lei He scrutinized carefully, "Indeed, just at the sixth tier of Foundation Establishment Stage. Qin Qi, young friend, did you really defeat an Elite Demon single-handedly?!"
As the words fell, the whole room fell silent.
Evidently, it was the point everyone was most curious and concerned about.
Was Qin Qi truly, as the rumors claimed, able to slay an Elite Demon single-handedly?
If it turns out he genuinely could accomplish such a feat, then no doubt, a fierce battle of words would ensue among the factions vying for this young man today.
Qin Qi glanced at Master Lei He, "Senior is jesting. How could an Elite Demon be defeated by a single person? The reason I emerged victorious was due to relying on Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Ming Tong, who had already exhausted the Elite Demon’s abilities!"
"Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for me to triumph alone!"
Hearing this, Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Ming Tong felt immensely gratified.
At the same time, it gained him the favor of quite a few strong leaders.
"At such a young age, to be unassuming and composed, this lad has an exceptional temperament!"
"With the right cultivation, he has great potential in the future!"
Zhang Ming Tong transmitted a message to his master, Master Yun Hui, "Master, although at that time it was indeed all thanks to me, Wei Ling’Er, and Murong Chan who attacked first!"
"However, we barely helped afterward; it was essentially Qin Qi alone who defeated the Elite Demon!"
Sitting opposite Master Lei He, Master Yun Hui, also a Nascent Soul Stage expert, upon hearing his disciple’s transmission.
Firmed his attitude immediately, smiling as he looked at Master Lei He, saying, "Lei He, if you are in doubt, you may withdraw. As for Qin Qi, feel free to hand him over to me then!"
Master Lei He, unhurried, responded, "Daoist Yun Hui, I was merely asking. If you want to compete for Qin Qi, young friend, it is also necessary to see if Qin Qi, young friend, agrees!"
