Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 84 The Conspiracy Begins, Crisis Approaches

The Qingfeng Sect was shrouded in mist at dawn, tranquil and peaceful. As usual, Zhang Peng practiced combat with Qingfengzi in the training ground. Qingfengzi's attacks were fierce and swift, while Zhang Peng skillfully dodged and counterattacked, relying on his exquisite control of the five elements' spiritual power. For a time, spiritual energy crisscrossed the training ground, and the wind howled.

"Not bad, your reaction and adaptability have improved significantly." Qingfengzi stopped his attack, his eyes showing appreciation. "However, battles in the cultivation world are ever-changing, and you still need to remain vigilant at all times."

Zhang Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully, "Thank you for your teachings, senior. I will keep them in mind."

Just then, an outer disciple rushed over, looking flustered: "Senior Qingfengzi, Elder Xuanfeng requests your immediate presence in the council hall, saying there is an urgent matter to discuss."

Qingfengzi and Zhang Peng exchanged a glance, a vague unease creeping into their hearts. They immediately followed the outer disciples to the council hall. Along the way, Zhang Peng noticed something unusual about the atmosphere within the Qingfeng Sect; the disciples seemed hurried and whispered amongst themselves.

Upon entering the council hall, they saw Elder Xuanfeng and several other elders sitting together, their expressions grave. Seeing Qingfengzi and Zhang Peng enter, Elder Xuanfeng quickly stood up: "Qingfengzi, you've finally arrived. I just received news that the Blood Demon Palace seems to be making new moves. They've been frequently appearing in the mountains near Qingfeng Sect; they're probably plotting something."

Qingfengzi frowned: "These villains from the Blood Demon Hall are still up to no good. It seems they're still thinking of seizing the Five Elements Spirit Pearls."

An elder said with concern, "Although Qingfeng Sect is not weak, Blood Demon Palace has a deep foundation. If they come out in full force, we may not be able to resist them."

A heavy silence fell over the crowd. Zhang Peng was secretly anxious; he knew the importance of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls and that the Blood Demon Palace must not be allowed to succeed. "Elders, I am willing to do everything in my power to fight the Blood Demon Palace," Zhang Peng stepped forward and said firmly.

Elder Xuanfeng looked at Zhang Peng with a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Zhang Peng, your courage is commendable. However, the Blood Demon Palace is very powerful, and we cannot act rashly. We need to plan carefully."

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, a disciple suddenly burst into the council hall, his face pale: "It's terrible, elders! The sect's warehouse has suddenly caught fire, and the cultivation resources stored inside are probably..."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. Elder Xuanfeng immediately stood up: "Let's go see!"

When everyone arrived at the warehouse, they found it engulfed in flames, with waves of heat hitting them. The disciples were trying their best to put out the fire, but it was too intense and difficult to control.

"This fire started suspiciously; it's probably been set on purpose." Qingfengzi looked at the raging fire with a grim expression.

Zhang Peng's heart skipped a beat; he vaguely sensed that all of this seemed to be related to the Blood Demon Palace. He mobilized his spiritual power, preparing to enter the warehouse to investigate. Just then, he suddenly noticed several dark figures flashing past around the warehouse.

"An assassin!" Zhang Peng shouted, immediately chasing after the direction the shadowy figure had disappeared. Qingfengzi and the other elders followed suit.

After chasing for some distance, Zhang Peng and his group spotted several men in black robes in a dense forest. Upon seeing them, the men immediately turned and fled. Zhang Peng and his group gave chase.

Suddenly, the men in black robes stopped. The leader of the men in black robes sneered, "Hmph, the people of Qingfeng Sect have indeed taken the bait." After saying that, he quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding trees suddenly began to shake violently. Vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around Zhang Peng and the others.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng immediately mobilized his five elements of spiritual power and used fire magic to ignite the vines. However, the black-robed men's magic was endless; they continuously unleashed various bizarre spells, and Zhang Peng and his companions gradually found themselves in a predicament.

"Oh no, we've fallen into their ambush!" Qingfengzi's expression changed drastically. He immediately unleashed his powerful spiritual energy, attempting to break through the enemy's encirclement.

Just then, a man in black robes seized the opportunity amidst the chaos to pull out a black sphere and throw it at Zhang Peng. Zhang Peng couldn't dodge in time and was struck by the black sphere. The sphere exploded instantly, releasing a cloud of black smoke. Zhang Peng felt dizzy and lost consciousness.
