As the old man waved his sleeves, Hou Jiuming felt that the giant mountain pressing on him disappeared.
"Hoo~ho~ho~"
It was also at the moment when the pressure disappeared that he slumped to the ground regardless of his appearance, gasping for air.
"Are you OK!"
Hearing the sound, Hou Jiuming looked up and saw the old man who had just rescued him looking at him with a gentle smile.
Seeing this, regardless of his physical fatigue, he quickly got up from the ground, saluted and thanked the old man, "Thank you, senior, for helping me."
However, before the old man could say anything, a voice that made Hou Jiuming tremble sounded in his ears.
"Hmph, you are so brave!"
"This is definitely the golden elixir stage. Is it so exaggerated that it's even the golden elixir stage?" With anxiety, Hou Jiuming turned his head and looked at the place where the voice came from.
I saw two people standing there, a man and a woman. The man looked middle-aged, and the woman was in her mid-20s. As for the spell that covered the main hall just now, I don't know why it disappeared.
On the other hand, Zhao Qian, who had been bombarded by spells, was lying at the feet of the middle-aged man, covered in charred black. Judging from the twitching of his body from time to time, the wave of spells just now had injured him even if he had not been killed.
"Junior Brother Ding, why do you need to be as knowledgeable as a junior!" The old man who helped Hou Jiuming spoke out in defense after the middle-aged man spoke.
"Hmph, I am guilty of using a dishonorable method to sneak attack on my fellow disciples. I shall be punished for this crime!" The man turned a deaf ear to the old man's words. He recited Hou Jiu Ming's sins and then took action brazenly.
A water-blue arrow appeared silently in front of Hou Jiuming. The pressure emanating from it made his whole body go cold, and his heart felt alarming.
"If you can't avoid it, you will die!"
Facing this attack, Hou Jiuming felt a sense of despair in his heart.
At this moment, the old man who protected him appeared in front of him, holding a green ruler-like object in his hand, and patted the arrow.
"Bang~"
Obviously the size between the two was very small, but after the collision, there was a sound that echoed throughout the hall.
Then, a circular ripple spread out in all directions with the impact as the center.
As the ripples appeared, a layer of light appeared on each of the golden elixir stage monks in the hall.
Hou Jiuming was blocked behind by the old man and was not affected. Zhao Qian on the other side was guarded by the woman and was not affected either.
As for Fang Changqing, a middle-aged man with a beard on his chin appeared beside him at some point.
"Junior brother Ding, what do you mean? It's a bit against the rules to take action before the matter is fully investigated, isn't it?"
"He almost killed my disciple. Let me educate him. What's wrong with the rules?" The monk surnamed Ding was very dissatisfied with the old man blocking his attack.
Therefore, I was not polite when I spoke and just choked back.
"You——" Such a shameless and confident manner made the old man furious.
At this moment, the middle-aged man standing next to Fang Changqing spoke.
"Okay, there's no need to make a fuss over this trivial matter. The people from the Law Enforcement Hall will find out the details of the matter when they come over!"
As the head of the sect, Fan Daoyuan followed closely after problems arose in order to avoid conflicts between the Golden Core monks from the two peaks.
In fact, with his cultivation level, Ding Yitong would definitely be able to stop Ding Yitong if he took action just now. The reason why he didn't take action was just to give the other party a chance to vent.
Because he knew that Nongjing, the master of the Spiritual Medicine Peak, would not sit idly by and watch.
After the two of them fought and the anger in their hearts subsided, he, the leader, stood up and said a few words. I believe they would not deny this face.
Sure enough, everything went according to his ideas.
But Ding Yitong couldn't hold it back and was already furious and refused to let it go, "No, you must give me an explanation for what happened today."
"Junior Brother Ding, that's enough. There is no need for the conflict between the two juniors to be so tense." Seeing that Ding Yitong refused to give up and insisted on punishing Hou Jiuming, Nong Jing frowned.
And just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman behind him also spoke, "Ding, why are you more petty than women? If you don't give in for such a trivial matter, wouldn't you have seriously injured your apprentice?"
When she said this, the woman turned over with one hand, and a jade box appeared, and then she threw it towards Ding Yitong without stopping, "Let him take this elixir and keep it without leaving a scar on his body.
Let’s stop this matter, if it gets too big, it won’t look good on anyone.”
Ding Yitong, who was originally in a bad mood, felt a little relieved when he took the jade box, but this situation did not last long.
When the woman finished saying that no one's face would look good if things got too big, her face turned dark.
Thinking of the news that his apprentice was defeated by a Qi Refining Stage disciple, Ding Yitong was not in the mood to continue to pester him.
With a wave of his sleeves, invisible magic power enveloped Zhao Qian who was on the ground. He took a deep look at Hou Jiuming, then turned into a bald figure and flew towards the outside of the medicine mountain without looking back.
Not long after he left, the woman standing with him spoke, "Since the matter has come to this, I will not stay any longer. I also hope that the head brother can investigate the matter clearly."
After saying that, Mei Mu glanced at Hou Jiu Ming. Unlike Ding Yi, there was deep curiosity in his eyes. However, this gaze did not stay for long because Fan Daoyuan spoke.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister Shi, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly."
"Okay then, Senior Brother Head, Senior Brother Nong, Senior Sister Sun, and Tianying take their leave."
"Junior sister, walk slowly!" Fan Daoyuan and the other three responded in unison.
After that, Shi Tianying held up his hands, set up the escape light and left.
After her escape was completely gone, Fan Daoyuan turned his attention to Fang Changqing next to him. He had just entered the hall. As the head of the hall, he naturally had to stand by and watch.
So he took action to protect him.
Fang Changqing, who had come back to his senses at this time, saw the leader looking at him, immediately stood up from the ground, bowed and said, "Disciple Fang Changqing, I have met the leader and the two peak masters."
"Well," Fan Daoyuan nodded slightly as a response, and then asked,
"Besides the two parties involved, you are the only bystander at the scene. Please tell us what happened and why the two of them conflicted."
"It's the leader!" When Fang Changqing heard the inquiry, he didn't dare to delay or conceal it. He quickly told what he knew, "This is what happened..."
Over a cup of tea, Fan Daoyuan and the other three also knew the whole story.
It can be said that the fault lies with Zhao Qian.
If someone comes to apply for permission to enter the mountain, you don’t want to, so why should you be rude to them?
In the end, he was refuted, and he took action directly. However, he didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson by an outer disciple who was in the Qi refining stage and almost lost his life.
After understanding the whole story, the three of them shook their heads and made judgments about Zhao Qian.
It is difficult to become a great tool.
After that, I became deeply curious about Hou Jiuming.
"You are a disciple of that aristocratic family. How long have you been a disciple?"
Seeing the person whom Fang Changqing called the leader asking himself, Hou Jiuming quickly stopped the random thoughts in his mind, bowed and saluted, "Back to the leader, I am a disciple who was born as a casual cultivator and has only been in the sect for seven months."
"You are not a child of a noble family?" Fan Daoyuan had a look of surprise on his face, not only him, but also Nong Jing and Sun Wan next to him.
"Yes, the disciple was born in the Yue Kingdom. By chance, he was inherited by the seniors of the Huating Sect, and he joined the Huating Sect by chance." All this information can be obtained, so there is no need to hide it. This chapter has been completed!
