As the teleportation jade pendant in Ye Fei's hand suddenly lit up after passing the assessment.
Then, several top-tier cultivation techniques appeared on the table.
"Not bad, looks like there was a harvest this time!"
At the moment Ye Fei's teleportation jade pendant lit up, the disciples and mentors guarding outside looked in astonishment at the leaderboard next to the trial tower.
The name of the disciple from the Pill Sect, who was originally ranked first, was directly overtaken by Ye Fei, becoming second.
"Good, good job!"
Sect Master Song of the Martial Sect said happily.
As for the people from other sects, their expressions were not so good.
Especially the mentor of Xiao Nancheng from the Artifact Sect, who had placed high hopes on him, was somewhat disappointed.
Time quietly passed.
With only half an hour left, the trial tower was about to close.
Therefore, Ye Fei directly crushed the teleportation jade pendant and exited the trial tower.
A moment later, others also crushed their jade pendants and teleported out one after another.
Xiao Nancheng's mentor, seeing that Xiao Nancheng and the bearded man had not yet emerged, felt a sense of unease.
Finally, until the trial tower closed, neither of them was teleported out.
"How is this possible!"
"Impossible!"
Xiao Nancheng's mentor felt his head buzzing and almost couldn't stand.
Only those who were dead would not be teleported out!
It was over!
The Xiao family would surely come looking for him!
"Who was the last person to see Xiao Nancheng?"
After asking around, no one admitted it.
Xiao Nancheng's mentor directly covered his face and sat on the ground.
As for Ye Fei and Li Qingqing, they exchanged glances, a thousand words passing between them without a single word.
"Ye Fei, you two are both outstanding!"
"This time, our Martial Sect has finally taken back what belongs to us!"
"I promised before that I would take the first place in this joint competition as my personal disciple!"
"I will fulfill my promise now!"
Immediately, Sect Master Song took out a jade pendant from his Qiankun bag, then channeled his spiritual energy and directly carved the characters "Ye Fei" onto it.
"Ye Fei, take good care of this jade token."
"This jade token signifies that you are now my personal disciple."
"Before you, I had three other disciples."
"When you return to the Martial Sect, I will introduce them to you one by one."
Sect Master Song said with a gentle smile.
He was extremely satisfied with Ye Fei.
Thus, he was somewhat impatient.
"Sect Master Song, no, Master, your disciple obeys."
Ye Fei directly accepted the jade token and stored it in his Qiankun bag.
As for the other disciples of the Martial Sect, they looked at Ye Fei with extreme envy for a long time.
Especially Shao Jie, who was hiding behind the crowd, looked filled with resentment.
However, he also knew very well that Ye Fei's identity had changed now, and he was no longer someone he could boss around.
How hateful!
"Sect Master Song, forgive my intrusion, but I have a few questions for those who participated in the joint competition."
Xiao Nancheng's mentor, named Liu, was also a seasoned mentor of the Artifact Sect and had close ties with the Xiao family.
"Ask away, I'll give you ten minutes."
Sect Master Song did not refuse.
Then, the mentor surnamed Liu asked several questions, but none yielded any useful clues.
"I know!"
"This matter is definitely related to Ye Fei!"
Shao Jie, who had been hiding behind the crowd, immediately jumped out and pointed directly at Ye Fei.
"Shao Jie, don't slander people!"
"Don't you just have a grudge against Ye Fei, and that's why you're slinging mud at him?"
Li Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, but she still maintained a calm expression and immediately retorted.
The sharp gaze of the mentor surnamed Liu fell directly on Li Qingqing and Ye Fei beside her.
Seeing that Ye Fei's cultivation was only at the early stage of the fifth level of Qi Condensation, far from Xiao Nancheng, and that Ye Fei showed no sign of panic after being discovered, the mentor surnamed Liu did not suspect Ye Fei too much.
"Enough!"
"Shao Jie, you are slandering your fellow disciples, it's truly detestable!"
"When you return, you will immediately write a three-thousand-word self-criticism and then read it out in front of all of us!"
"You will apologize to Ye Fei right now!"
Sect Master Song said sternly.
Shao Jie immediately became like a quail, not daring to make a sound.
"Hmm, do I need to say it a second time?"
Sect Master Song said displeasedly.
Shao Jie trembled a few times, then gritted his teeth and bowed to apologize.
"Junior disciple, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
"I shouldn't have acted on impulse and falsely accused you!"
"It's all my fault!"
Ye Fei didn't intend to make a fuss about it and said casually.
"Alright, I don't intend to pursue this matter with you."
"But from now on, don't just shout out like an angry youth."
Although Shao Jie was upset, he did not dare to continue clamoring.
The mentor surnamed Liu was also well aware that this was directed at him.
However, he could not afford to offend the personal disciple of the Martial Sect Master, so he left dejectedly.
Thus, this competition concluded with the Martial Sect sweeping the top two positions, and five of the top ten positions being disciples of the Martial Sect.
Ye Fei, who had broken the record with his first-place finish, had now become a celebrity.
However, for the next period of time, Ye Fei and Li Qingqing would be staying at the Artifact Sect.
It just so happened that Ye Fei also wanted to learn at the Artifact Sect and perhaps craft a few hidden weapons.
Finally, a disciple from the Artifact Sect led Ye Fei and the others to a courtyard for guests.
"Distinguished guests, if there are no other instructions, I shall take my leave."
The disciple said with a smiling face.
After dismissing the disciple, Ye Fei and the other Martial Sect disciples took a tour of the courtyard.
"Not bad, this courtyard is spacious enough, and it won't feel crowded for the five of us."
Ye Fei clapped his hands.
Afterward, everyone found a suite to stay in.
Li Qingqing continued to stay in the room next to Ye Fei's.
Therefore, after tidying everything up, Li Qingqing directly went to Ye Fei's room next door.
Then she knocked on the door.
"Enter!"
Ye Fei said without looking up as he was busy packing.
Li Qingqing immediately closed the doors and windows, then sat on a stool and said with worry.
"Ye Fei, do you think that our killing of Xiao Nancheng won't be discovered?"
"Although their bodies have turned into blood, I can't help but feel uneasy, fearing they might find some subtle clue."
As soon as Ye Fei finished packing, he came to Li Qingqing's side, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said.
"You don't need to worry, I can guarantee they won't find any clues!"
"I always act without leaving any traces."
"You can rest assured."
"As for others asking, just say you know nothing."
"In short, as long as they have no evidence, they can't do anything to us!"
Seeing her still tense, Ye Fei also poured her a cup of hot tea.
