Chapter 132: A Sudden Attack, Captured Instead

“How dare you storm my Clear Wind Sect alone! So what if you’re stronger than most at late Nascent Soul? I’m at Soul Formation. Surrender at once!”

Convinced that there was no one else, Duan Mingfei grew bolder and put on the airs 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 had not expected the man to ignore him completely and look only at Yun Man. He felt slighted.

“You? Who the hell are you? You have no cultivation that I can see. Stay put. Once I capture the one you rely on, I’ll deal with you. You lot, watch this boy.”

Duan Mingfei hadn’t expected Qin Xiao to step forward. Without a trace of Spiritual Qi, what was he getting so worked up for? He told the kneeling stewards to watch Qin Xiao and keep him from escaping.

With Duan Mingfei backing them, several stewards arrogantly stood up. Now that the Third Elder has arrived, you two are just waiting to die.

“Who allowed you to stand up?”

So there really were fools who dared stand up, Qin Xiao thought.

“Boy, I stand when I damn well please. You can’t even save yourself, and you still want to tell me what to do?”

A steward with an arrogant-looking face swaggered 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 steward could no longer be arrogant.

Seeing this situation, the other stewards 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 steward 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! Is that all you can say? Are you going to do anything? Stop flapping your lips and 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.

As long as the man stayed still, Qin Xiao’s hidden bodyguards couldn’t act. He was too close to the protective formation and could slip back inside in an instant. Qin Xiao had to goad 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 stewards kneeling to the side, he hesitated. Without first probing the situation, he didn’t want to act recklessly.

“Boy, one last chance. Release those stewards and surrender. I’ll leave your corpse intact.” Find the original chapter at novelping(.)com.

Duan Mingfei continued.

“Disciple, how many people stood up just now?”

Qin Xiao ignored Duan Mingfei and asked Yun Man instead.

“Four. After killing one, three remain.”

Yun Man truthfully replied.

“Among those three, pick one who looks more wicked and kill him.”

Qin Xiao had no more words to waste on Duan Mingfei. Let him keep making threats; Qin Xiao would kill a few first.

“Young lady, I may look like a bad man, but I’m good! I’ve spent all these years cultivating diligently. I’ve never done anything wrong!”

One steward whom Yun Man had targeted hurriedly explained.

“I don’t care about that. You just don’t look like a good person.”

Yun Man was not interested. He had only his villainous-looking face to blame.

“So be it. I’m destined to die here today. Prejudice really is a mountain in people’s hearts.”

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 stewards.”

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.”

Since Duan Mingfei wanted to talk, Qin Xiao called off the killing for now.

“Simple. You’re the ones who’ve been robbing the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion lately, aren’t you? Return all the people and supplies you took. And who injured the Fifth Elder? That old bastard Clear Wind, or someone else? Whoever it was, you owe compensation.”

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 could barely protect itself now. Ye Tianyi had her hands full with the affairs in the city and couldn’t possibly come here. Someone was watching her too. As for Ye Qiuyue, he had heard she was in Tianyuan City. That meant this boy had no one to rely on.

Duan Mingfei decided he understood enough. Some questions remained, but once he captured the boy, a little torture would give him the rest of the answers.

“Boy, you’ve made me furious with that bluff. Prepare to die!”

Duan Mingfei, thinking about how Qin Xiao had just toyed with him, instantly became even more furious. This chapter was taken from novelрing.com without permission.

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.

With two mid-stage Soul Formation cultivators acting together, Duan Mingfei, who was only at the early stage, could not resist. He tried to mobilize his Spiritual Qi, but his Spiritual Sea had already been sealed. He too was now unable to use his 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 attack had been so fast that Qin Xiao had almost come to grief despite his precautions.

“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 know my younger brother Mingfei is cautious. That is why he is taking a little longer, but he will handle the matter properly.”

Duan Mingda, seeing the Ancestor was unhappy, hurriedly defended his younger brother.

“With his temperament, he’ll never amount to much. He’s suspicious by nature. That’s why I made you Sect Leader even though he’s a little more talented. He’s only fit to be an Elder.”

The Clear Wind Ancestor knew Duan Mingfei’s temperament well. How could a man like that achieve anything great?

“You are right, Ancestor.”

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? Is this how the stewards and Elders train disciples? All panic and no composure! Where’s the Third Elder? Tell him to 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.”
