Hmph!
Seeing Qin Cang rush over, Xue Qi's eyes turned extremely cold. Her figure suddenly flickered, dodging Qin Cang's powerful strike.
What!
As his sword seemed to pierce through an afterimage, Qin Cang's eyes widened.
This speed was a few parts faster than disciples of the same realm in the Swift Wind Tower. When did Xue Qi's movement technique become so terrifying!
Swish!
Before Qin Cang could react, a whistling sound cut through the air. Xue Qi's long sword, carrying countless sword flowers, lunged forward.
Without a word, Qin Cang quickly raised his sword to block.
But in the next instant, his sword was flicked away by the sword flowers Xue Qi unleashed.
This…
Looking at the sword tip at his throat, Qin Cang was stunned. He looked at his opponent with unwillingness, gritting his teeth, "You're not using the sword techniques of Snow Peak!"
"That's right!"
Xue Qi did not hide it and directly admitted it.
She was using the Frost Sword Technique inherited from Han Xiang, which was much more powerful than Snow Peak's sword techniques, and its speed was far beyond what Snow Peak's skills could compare to.
It could be said that the Frost Sword Technique surpassed the Snow Peak Sword Technique in all aspects.
As she spoke, Xue Qi turned towards the Snow Peak disciples who were surrounding and attacking Bing Yao, coldly saying, "What, you still haven't given up? Do you really want to become sinners of Snow Peak alongside Qin Cang!"
Uh…
Perhaps seeing Qin Cang's defeat, or perhaps hearing Xue Qi's words, all the disciples attacking Bing Yao stopped.
Seeing this, Xue Qi's icy expression eased slightly. She said in a deep voice, "All nine of you, go kneel to the side! Await my judgment!"
As her voice fell, the Snow Peak disciples hesitated for a moment, then finally obediently walked to the side.
Looking at the Snow Peak disciples kneeling in a neat row, Qin Cang's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly roared, "Xue Qi, you are no longer a disciple of Snow Peak. By what right do you punish them..."
"Silence!"
Hearing his voice, Xue Qi immediately let out a cold shout. Her figure flashed, appearing before Qin Cang. Her slender hand directly pressed against Qin Cang's chest.
Puff!
Qin Cang spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
"Originally, I didn't want to meddle in Snow Peak's affairs anymore, but since Snow Peak has been led to a path of no return by you, then I cannot stand idly by!"
"From now on, your acting peak master position ends here. I will take over the entire Snow Peak!"
Xue Qi looked at the fallen Qin Cang and spoke with dominance.
As her voice echoed, Qin Cang's face turned instantly pale. Xue Qi was once the favored disciple of the old peak master.
Although she had left Snow Peak, her status in the hearts of the disciples was still far above his.
Furthermore, after he took over as acting peak master, he had no achievements and was even expelled from the peak.
Subsequently, he had engaged in such wicked deeds with the Flying Cloud Pavilion. Therefore, as long as Xue Qi rallied the disciples, his position as manor lord would surely be lost.
The other disciples, hearing Xue Qi's words, were also stunned.
One was the current acting peak master, and the other was the old peak master's disciple. They didn't know who to obey.
Tap, tap, tap…
Just then, Ye Cangtian slowly walked over.
He glanced at Qin Cang and said faintly, "Colluding with the Flying Cloud Pavilion and committing such sinful acts, you are not fit to live!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian waved his hand, and a cold light instantly pierced through Qin Cang's chest.
Ye Cangtian would never show mercy to Qin Cang, not only because of the heinous deeds he committed, but also because Qin Cang was Xue Qi's biggest threat.
If Qin Cang lived, he would certainly contend for the position of peak master with Xue Qi again in the future.
Therefore, for whatever reason, Qin Cang had to die.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian walked towards the nine kneeling disciples. Wherever his gaze fell, the nine disciples trembled instantly.
"You aided evil and abetted wrongdoing, and you deserve to die. However, considering that you were acting under orders, I will give you a chance!"
"As long as you genuinely repent and remain loyal to Xue Qi henceforth, you can keep your lives and atone for your crimes. Are you willing?"
As Ye Cangtian's voice came, the nine disciples exchanged glances. Then, one disciple stepped forward, "We are willing to follow Peak Master Xue Qi..."
"Very good!"
Ye Cangtian nodded with satisfaction, then tossed a Qiankun Bag to Xue Qi.
Xue Qi was slightly stunned. Upon seeing the nine Dao Comprehension Pills in the Qiankun Bag, she immediately understood Ye Cangtian's intentions.
The next moment, Xue Qi stepped forward and looked at everyone, saying, "Since you have lost your way and now pledge allegiance to me, take these.
As long as you assist me diligently in the future, I will naturally not mistreat you. But whoever commits wicked deeds again, I will personally kill them..."
Looking at the Dao Comprehension Pills in their hands, the nine disciples trembled instantly, their eyes shining brightly.
They were merely elites among the guards and rarely obtained pills of this caliber. Now that they had obtained Dao Comprehension Pills, it paved a smooth path for them.
They believed that before long, they too could become quasi-heavenly realm powerhouses.
At that time, they would experience a complete turnaround and rise in status.
Brilliant! Truly brilliant!
Bing Yao, standing to the side, looked at the grateful gazes of the nine disciples and gave Ye Cangtian a thumbs-up in her heart.
This method of combining grace and authority was truly used to perfection!
After a minor interlude, Ye Cangtian inquired with the nine guards to see if they knew the whereabouts of Hun San.
Only then did he learn that Hun San, Liu Dingshan, and Sun Xu had already fled the area.
Helplessly, Ye Cangtian had to lead Xue Qi and the others back to Misty Rain Tower.
Upon returning to the Hidden Group's inn, after waiting for a long time, Ye Cangtian finally saw Yao Bao'er and the others return.
Seeing everyone standing before him safe and sound, Ye Cangtian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the other party had two heavenly realm powerhouses, Nami and Yao Bao'er, they were still very dangerous when facing the foundation of the mental power formation.
"Boss, you guys are too fast!"
"We exhausted all our efforts and only destroyed two formation bases, but you destroyed six..."
Yao Bao'er pouted and walked up to Ye Cangtian, speaking with a hint of helplessness.
She had originally thought that with their numbers and two heavenly realm powerhouses, their combat performance would be more brilliant than Ye Cangtian's side.
But she never expected that after they destroyed two formation bases, the entire grand formation would be destroyed. This indicated that the remaining six had already been destroyed by Ye Cangtian.
Because of this, Yao Bao'er felt both speechless and utterly ashamed.
Ye Cangtian glanced at Yao Bao'er and asked, "What was the situation on your end?"
"Terrible!"
Yao Bao'er gritted her teeth and recounted the general situation.
She had thought that even if she wasn't skilled in combat, being a heavenly realm powerhouse would at least make her a master. But she had almost met her end in a ditch.
It was fortunate that Nami had intervened at the critical moment, otherwise, it would have been impossible to return unharmed.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian did not say much. The other party had used secret arts and formations to directly elevate their mental power to the Form Manifestation realm.
Under such circumstances, he was already very satisfied that Yao Bao'er and the others had returned safely.
Ding, ding, ding…
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Yan Yun'er from Misty Rain Tower entered. She went directly to Ye Cangtian and bowed respectfully to express her gratitude to him.
Afterward, she opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Ye, the楼主 and the others have returned. The楼主 has invited you to discuss matters."
Uh!
Upon hearing Yan Yun'er's words, Ye Cangtian's lips twitched.
In his opinion, Yan Yun'er should have been a fiery, feisty type. Why was her tone of speech now so strange? It was truly unsettling.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Miss Yun'er, we are all friends. Please act more normally..."
More normally?
Yan Yun'er was instantly stunned, and her fair face flushed.
To be honest, she herself felt extremely awkward speaking like this. After all, she had never been so respectful even to Qing Yan.
Thinking this, she said awkwardly, "Well, let's go first..."
Saying that, Yan Yun'er turned and left the inn directly.
They arrived at the third-floor grand hall of Misty Rain Tower.
Qing Yan and the leaders of various forces all stood up to welcome Ye Cangtian's arrival.
They all understood that without Ye Cangtian, they would likely have been annihilated by the Flying Cloud Pavilion along with all the citizens of the city.
Ye Cangtian bowed politely to everyone and walked to a spot, then sat down.
Only then did he begin to inquire, "楼主 Qing Yan, what is the situation on your end?"
"We have killed many disciples from the Heavenly Cloud Sect, Barren Mountains, and Snow Peak, and we have also arrested many..."
Qing Yan stated that she had invited Ye Cangtian to hear his opinions on how to deal with these people.
