In his later years, he was backstabbed by his third wife, and he awakened the Wei Xiaobao system

Inside the Tianchen Sect's meeting hall, candlelight flickered, and light and shadow danced on the gilded dragon-patterned pillars, making everyone's figures appear distorted and hideous.

Li Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, the sword patterns on his green Taoist robe faintly visible under the fluctuation of spiritual power, and the pressure of the Nascent Soul Realm flooded every corner of the hall like a tide.

Tianchen Sect Master Chu Xuance sat in the main seat, his fingers unconsciously stroking the armrests of the jade throne, making a slight "creaking" sound.

His son Chu Tianyang leaned to the side, with a cold expression on his face and eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

The sixteen elders below had gloomy expressions, their spiritual energy surging around them, as if ready to explode at any moment.

"Fellow Daoist Li, today's battle has resulted in both of us being wounded." Chu Xuance was the first to break the silence, his voice low and hoarse. "How about we release the sixteen disciples of the Luoyun Sect immediately and call it a day?"

Li Qingfeng turned his head abruptly, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, like two sharp swords piercing Chu Xuance. "Let it go? Sect Master Chu, you have a good memory! Sixteen of my Luoyun Sect's disciples have had their cultivation destroyed by you, becoming useless from now on. How can this blood debt be settled with just a simple 'let it go'?"

As soon as the words fell, the temperature in the hall dropped sharply, and everyone felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet.

A white-haired elder stood up with a jerk, his eyes wide with anger. "Li Qingfeng, don't push your luck! We're already giving Luoyun Sect face by releasing the people. Do you really want us, Tianchen Sect, to cut off our own strength?"

"Cut off your own arm?" Li Qingfeng sneered, took a step forward, and green light suddenly surged around him.

"When you abolished my disciples' cultivation, did you ever consider what this meant to them? For a cultivator, cultivation is life! Now, I want the sixteen elders of your Tianchen Sect to abolish their own cultivation. This is nothing more than an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

Chu Tianyang slammed the table hard, and the loud "bang" made the teacups on the table jump up.

"Li Qingfeng, don't go too far! My Tianchen Sect is not a soft persimmon that you can manipulate!" A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and demonic energy surged around him, faintly showing the posture of fighting.

Li Qingfeng remained unmoved, his eyes sweeping over Chu Tianyang with disdain: "Soft persimmon? You, Chu Tianyang, are no longer qualified to show off in front of me, Li?"

These words hit Chu Tianyang's heart like a heavy hammer, causing his face to flush red instantly, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Chu Xuance raised his hand to signal his son to be quiet, staring at Li Qingfeng with calculations in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Li, if the cultivation of sixteen elders is abolished, the Tianchen Sect's strength will be greatly damaged. How about this, we compensate the Luoyun Sect with a batch of spirit stones and spiritual medicines, and let this matter be over."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a disciple immediately came forward carrying a jade tray. The spiritual stone on the tray shone brightly, and the spiritual medicine exuded an alluring fragrance.

Li Qingfeng didn't even glance at the jade plate. His tone was as cold as ice. "Sect Master Chu, in my eyes, the dignity of a disciple is more precious than any spirit stone or any spiritual medicine. If I don't destroy the cultivation of all sixteen of your elders today, I swear I will not leave the Tianchen Sect! I want to see which is more powerful, your Tianchen Sect's formation or mine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a green-bladed sword appeared in his hand. The blade hummed, and sword energy spread out, stirring up a violent gust of wind in the hall.

The atmosphere in the hall froze instantly. The elders of the Tianchen Sect rose to their feet, their spiritual energy condensing around them. A fierce battle seemed imminent. At this critical moment, a gray-robed elder slowly spoke, "Master, this matter requires careful consideration. If we truly break off relations with the Luoyun Sect, our Tianchen Sect will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation."

Chu Xuance frowned, lost in thought. He knew that if he refused, Li Qingfeng would unleash his full might, and the Tianchen Sect would face catastrophic destruction. However, if the cultivation of sixteen elders were truly crippled, the Tianchen Sect's very foundation would be shaken, and its future development would be even more worrying.

"Father, you can't agree to him!" Chu Tianyang shouted anxiously.

"How can our Tianchen Sect endure such humiliation? The worst that can happen is that we all die together!"

Chu Xuance glanced at his son, feeling helpless. He wished to uphold the dignity of the Tianchen Sect, but reality forced him to bow his head. After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Fellow Daoist Li, is there a change of conditions? For example, could we allow these sixteen elders to sever their own meridians, preserving their cultivation? This would be an explanation to the Luoyun Sect."

Li Qingfeng shook his head without hesitation: "No! The punishment of severing meridians is far less painful than the pain of abolishing one's cultivation. Sect Master Chu, please do not test my bottom line again. Today, either the cultivation of sixteen elders is abolished, or we will continue to fight!"

He gripped the Qingfeng sword tightly, pointing the tip of the sword at the ground. A deep sword mark appeared instantly, and gravel flew everywhere.

The hall was once again in a stalemate. Time ticked by, each second feeling as long as a year. Some of the Tianchen Sect's elders gnashed their teeth, while others sighed.

And beads of sweat appeared on Chu Xuance's forehead.

Just as everyone was at a stalemate, a middle-aged elder with a kind face slowly stepped forward and said, "Master, things have come to this. For the sake of the sect's overall interests, I am willing to abandon my cultivation." As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"Elder Zhang, no!" The other elders tried to dissuade him.

Elder Zhang waved his hand and looked at Li Qingfeng: "Fellow Daoist Li, I hope you can keep your word. After this matter is settled, there will be no more grudges between the two sects."

After saying this, he sat cross-legged, formed seals with his hands, and began to practice his skills. As streams of spiritual energy emanated from his body, his hair instantly turned white, and his face became incomparably older.

Li Qingfeng looked at Elder Zhang, his face still as cold as ice: "There are fifteen more."

Following Elder Zhang's lead, several other elders reluctantly stepped forward and began to dismantle their own cultivation. As each elder did so, an atmosphere of sadness and anger permeated the hall. The Tianchen Sect's disciples outside the hall wept bitterly as they listened, while Chu Xuance closed his eyes tightly, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails practically dug into his palms.

After the sixteenth elder gave up his own cultivation, Li Qingfeng's expression eased a little.

"Master Chu, I hope you will remember this shame today. If it happens again, I, Li Qingfeng, will have the Tianchen Sect expelled from the world of immortal cultivation! Now, bring out my Luoyun Sect disciples!"

Chu Xuance opened his eyes, which were filled with hatred and unwillingness, but he still suppressed his anger and ordered the sixteen disciples of Luoyun Sect to be brought out.

Looking at the pale faces and empty eyes of his disciples, Li Qingfeng felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He led his disciples, gave Chu Xuance a cold look, and then strode out of the Tianchen Sect's meeting hall.

Outside the hall, dark clouds still gathered, as if mourning the humiliation of the Tianchen Sect. Li Qingfeng and his disciples drifted away.

Just after Li Qingfeng left, the old man in black robe returned to Tianchen Sect again, looking exhausted.

"Hmm? What about Li Qingfeng?"

"I have adjusted my condition and am ready to fight him again!"
