"What audacity, to dare intrude into my Clear Wind Sect alone. Even if you are stronger than ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, so what? This old man is in the Soul Formation stage. Quickly surrender and allow yourself to be captured."
After confirming there were indeed no others, Duan Mingfei grew bolder and directly assumed the posture of a Soul Formation expert.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean intruding into your Clear Wind Sect alone? Are you blind? There are two of us."
Qin Xiao didn't expect this fellow to not even look at him properly, focusing his gaze only on Yun Man. He instantly felt a sense of being ignored.
"You? What kind of thing are you? I see you have no cultivation whatsoever. Stay put obediently. After I capture your backing, I'll come find you. You few, keep an eye on this kid."
Duan Mingfei didn't expect Qin Xiao to jump out on his own. There's not even a ripple of Spiritual Qi fluctuation, so what are you jumping around for? He also incidentally instructed the kneeling managers to keep an eye on Qin Xiao so he couldn't run away.
With Duan Mingfei backing them, several managers arrogantly stood up. Now that the Third Elder has arrived, you two are just waiting to die.
"Who allowed you to stand up?"
Qin Xiao saw that there were indeed some clueless individuals who actually stood up.
"Kid, your grandfather wants to stand, so he stands. You can't even protect yourself now, yet you have time to care about your grandfather?"
A manager with a rather arrogant appearance, putting on a very cocky manner, walked toward Qin Xiao.
"Kill him."
Qin Xiao couldn't be bothered to waste breath on him, directly speaking to Yun Man.
Then, a sword shadow flashed past, and that arrogant manager could no longer be arrogant.
Seeing this situation, the other managers all obediently knelt down again.
The Third Elder hasn't even made a move yet, and right now their group is still in someone else's hands. Better behave, otherwise they might not live long enough to see the Third Elder take action.
"Kid, you actually dare kill my Clear Wind Sect manager right in front of me? You are simply courting death."
Duan Mingfei originally thought that since he had arrived, that kid would either run away or kneel and beg for mercy. He never imagined this kid would actually kill someone right in his face.
"Courting death, courting death, courting death. Besides these words, do you have anything else to say? Can you act? Don't just open your mouth, also move your legs. Come on, kill me."
Qin Xiao originally thought this old fellow would attack him. He didn't expect him to just utter a few threatening words yet remain motionless. Come on, kill me.
Since that old fellow wasn't moving, the bodyguards he had lying in ambush couldn't easily make their move, because that fellow was very close to the protective Formation and could dodge back in an instant. So Qin Xiao could only provoke him.
The more Qin Xiao acted like this, the more Duan Mingfei didn't dare act rashly.
"This kid has already lost all his backing, yet still acts so brazen and unafraid. He definitely still has further schemes. I can't fall for this trap."
Duan Mingfei was inherently suspicious. The more abnormal the situation, the more careful he became.
Under normal circumstances, after emerging, he would undoubtedly have acted without hesitation. But when he saw the disciples lying on the ground and the managers kneeling to the side, he hesitated. Without first probing the situation, he didn't want to act recklessly.
"Kid, I'll give you one last chance. Release these managers, then surrender and allow yourself to be captured. I can leave you with a whole corpse."
Duan Mingfei continued.
"Disciple, how many people stood up just now?"
Qin Xiao simply couldn't be bothered to acknowledge Duan Mingfei anymore, starting to ask Yun Man.
"Four. After killing one, three remain."
Yun Man truthfully replied.
"Among those three, pick one who looks more wicked and kill him."
Qin Xiao also didn't want to waste words with Duan Mingfei. You slowly utter threats, I'll first kill a few.
"Young lady, don't look at my appearance like this. I seem like a bad person, but I'm actually a good person. All these years, I've diligently cultivated and haven't done any bad deeds."
One manager whom Yun Man had targeted hurriedly explained.
"I don't care about that. You just don't look like a good person."
Yun Man didn't care about that. Who told you to have a face that looked like a villain?
"Forget it. Today, I am destined to perish here. Indeed, Prejudice in the Human Heart Is a Mountain."
That person directly closed his eyes, already resigning himself to fate.
"Hold on! Kid, whatever demands you have, just state them. Please don't kill any more of my Clear Wind Sect managers."
Seeing Qin Xiao taking serious action, Duan Mingfei also couldn't hold back, quickly speaking out to stop it.
"Disciple, hold off on killing for now."
Seeing Duan Mingfei wanted to talk, then for now, don't kill.
"My demand is very simple. These past few days, the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion being robbed was all your doing, right? Send the kidnapped people and stolen Supplies back to the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion properly. Also, which one of you injured the Fifth Elder of the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion? Was it that Clear Wind old ghost or someone else? Anyway, you have to compensate."
Qin Xiao directly stated his demands.
"Kid, you're from the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion? No wonder you dare come to my Clear Wind Sect. I was just about to find you people."
Upon hearing Qin Xiao's conditions, Duan Mingfei knew Qin Xiao was from the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion, and he felt relieved.
The Heavenly Clothes Pavilion couldn't even protect itself now. Ye Tianyi had no time to spare dealing with matters within the city, let alone come here. Moreover, someone was keeping an eye on Ye Tianyi. As for Ye Qiuyue, he heard she went to Tianyuan City. So this kid had no backing whatsoever.
After clarifying the matter, Duan Mingfei didn't care anymore. Although there were still some questions, as long as he captured this kid, after some torture later, everything else would naturally become known.
"Kid, your act of pretending to be mysterious just now has thoroughly angered me. Wait for death."
Duan Mingfei, thinking about how Qin Xiao had just toyed with him, instantly became even more furious.
In an instant, Duan Mingfei had already arrived right in front of Qin Xiao, about to capture him with a claw strike.
Zhang Zuo and Li You had long been prepared. The moment Duan Mingfei made his move, they both simultaneously took action. Just as Duan Mingfei was about to grab Qin Xiao, they captured Duan Mingfei in one move.
Two mid-stage Soul Formation cultivators acting simultaneously. He was merely an early-stage Soul Formation cultivator and couldn't resist at all. He wanted to mobilize Spiritual Power, but his Spiritual Sea had already been sealed. At this moment, he too had become a person without Spiritual Qi.
"Still boasting now? You, also kneel over there."
Seeing that Duan Mingfei had been captured and his Spiritual Sea sealed, Qin Xiao returned to his previous demeanor.
The opponent's move just now was too fast. He almost Capsized in a Gutter.
"You won't be arrogant for much longer. The Ancestor will emerge soon."
Although Duan Mingfei remained defiant verbally, he obediently knelt over there, because the other party truly dared to kill.
Inside the Clear Wind Sect, Clear Wind Ancestor was already somewhat displeased.
"Why hasn't Mingfei returned yet? Can't he even handle such a small matter?"
Clear Wind Ancestor saw that quite some time had passed and he still hadn't returned.
"Ancestor, you also know Fei-di is relatively cautious in his actions, that's why he's a bit slower. But he will definitely handle the matter perfectly."
Duan Mingda, seeing the Ancestor was unhappy, hurriedly defended his younger brother.
"His temperament truly makes achieving great things difficult. He is inherently suspicious. This is also why, even though his talent is slightly better than yours, I still chose you to be Sect Leader. With his temperament, he can only be an Elder."
Clear Wind Ancestor naturally also clearly understood Duan Mingfei's character. But with such a character, how could he achieve great things?
"The Ancestor's teachings are correct."
Duan Mingda hurriedly agreed.
"Not good! Ancestor, Sect Leader, something has happened."
At this moment, another disciple came to report.
"What now? What's going on today? Usually, those managers and Elders educate the disciples like this? Acting flustered, not at all steady. Where's the Third Elder? Have him come see me."
Clear Wind Ancestor was truly very dissatisfied. Duan Mingfei's suspicious character was one thing, but why were even the disciples educated like this? He shouldn't have been made Third Elder and given charge of managing disciples.
The reporting disciple, hearing the Ancestor still wanted to see the Third Elder, hurriedly said:
"Replying to Ancestor and Sect Leader, the Third Elder has also been captured."
