Zhou Tao's entire body began to tremble.
He suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a trap.
This kid Ling Feng seemed to have wanted to follow him to the back mountain from the very beginning.
Although all of this made Zhou Tao feel inexplicable, the feeling was truly intense.
With no time to think, Zhou Tao chased after him.
By the time Zhou Tao landed.
Many disciples from the back mountain had already gathered around!
"Who are you?"
"Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to trespass into the back mountain!"
"Kid, do you know what kind of place the back mountain is? Is this a place you can just barge into? Are you tired of living?"
The crowd clamored incessantly.
But as Zhou Tao landed, all their voices stopped.
"Senior Brother Zhou?"
Someone approached, looking at Zhou Tao with confusion.
Zhou Tao also hadn't expected so many back mountain disciples to have gathered. This was going to be a bit troublesome!
"It's nothing, this person came with me. His name is Ling Feng, and he's a disciple under Sect Master Zhang!"
Zhou Tao said this with a cold, indifferent expression.
At this, the people around them were stunned for a moment.
But soon, everyone reacted, and a wave of uproar erupted.
"He's that Ling Feng? Damn it, this is the kid who rejected our elder!"
"Kid, are you regretting it? That's why you had Senior Brother Zhou bring you here?"
"Pah, what do you think our back mountain is? A place you can come and go as you please?"
"Hmph, with his attitude, he wants our elder to take him in? Impossible!"
"Kid, you better not be here to join our back mountain, or you'll have a hard time in the future!"
Many people had already stepped forward to threaten Ling Feng.
Clearly, they all looked down on Ling Feng.
Ling Feng's existence was even an insult to them.
And just as the commotion around them grew louder.
A figure suddenly appeared among the crowd.
"What are you all making such a fuss about?"
Everyone's hearts jolted upon hearing this.
Then they clearly saw who had arrived, and instantly, everyone prostrated themselves respectfully towards the newcomer!
"Greetings, Master!"
"Greetings, Elder!"
That's right, the newcomer was Elder Qi!
Elder Qi's figure quickly arrived before Ling Feng.
He didn't think Ling Feng had come with Zhou Tao out of regret, but the fact that this kid dared to come to the back mountain truly made Elder Qi want to laugh in anger.
This kid really had a lot of nerve!
"Zhou Tao, why did you bring him here?"
"Replying to Master, I originally wanted to visit this junior brother, but unexpectedly, this junior brother wanted me to guide his cultivation, so he followed me to the back mountain!"
Zhou Tao was quite eloquent, bowing to Elder Qi and lying without a hint of blushing.
Elder Qi sneered upon hearing this: "Heh, you are truly humble and eager to learn. What? Are there no one under Zhang Zhicong who can guide you?"
Many disciples around also raised their heads and glared at Ling Feng.
At the same time, some could no longer hold back.
Their status in the back mountain was similar to Zhou Tao's. How could they watch Zhou Tao steal the spotlight?
"Since Junior Brother Ling Feng is so humble and eager to learn, why don't you spar with me!"
"Hmph, I heard Junior Brother Ling Feng has good talent, he needs to be cultivated well. Since you've come to seek guidance from our back mountain seniors, I'll teach you too!"
Seeing these people trying to steal his thunder, Zhou Tao quickly stood up.
"I brought him here, so let me guide him. If any of you fellow disciples have any ideas, feel free to speak them!"
With that, Zhou Tao looked at Elder Qi expectantly.
Clearly, everyone viewed Ling Feng as a piece of fat meat, and they were all scrambling for him.
Some wished they could pounce on Ling Feng and tear him apart!
But before Elder Qi could assign this piece of fat meat, Ling Feng directly spoke to Elder Qi in a cold voice.
"It was your disciple Zhou Tao who went to my door and threatened me, saying he wanted to teach me a lesson and brought me to the back mountain. So I followed him. What? Do all these people in your back mountain want to teach me a lesson? This is the good disciple you've taught. It seems my previous choice was correct! You people are just good at barking like dogs relying on their master's power!"
Ling Feng's words had insulted the entire back mountain!
Zhou Tao's eyes widened. He knew Ling Feng was bold, but he hadn't expected Ling Feng to be so incredibly bold.
What a joke!
With Elder Qi present, this kid still dared to speak like this. This was simply courting death!
But this brainless fellow Zhou Tao hadn't considered.
Didn't Ling Feng publicly refuse Elder Qi when Elder Qi wanted to take him as a disciple before?
If Ling Feng truly took Elder Qi seriously, why would he have refused publicly?
It wasn't that Ling Feng was bold, but that Zhou Tao and the others were too timid and couldn't imagine what Ling Feng would do!
Elder Qi's mouth twitched incessantly at this moment. He let out a laugh of extreme anger.
"Haha, kid, I truly didn't misjudge you. You are indeed very bold. If I let these disciples teach you a lesson today, it would truly be embarrassing within the Myriad Sword Sect. However, since you dare to come to my back mountain so brazenly, don't think you can leave so easily. I'd like to see if Zhang Zhicong dares to come and demand you from me!"
With that, Elder Qi grabbed Ling Feng's shoulder and, in front of everyone, lifted Ling Feng and slowly floated towards his residence.
Zhou Tao was now extremely anxious.
He had done a good deed that turned out bad today. Although Elder Qi hadn't said anything just now.
But with Ling Feng's performance, Elder Qi would definitely hold him, Zhou Tao, accountable later!
Everyone around was also extremely angry, wishing they could devour Ling Feng alive.
Unfortunately, there was no opportunity.
Elder Qi wanted to deal with this kid personally, and they didn't even have a chance to watch the show!
But to everyone's surprise.
Ling Feng, held in the air by Elder Qi, showed no panic at all. Instead, he spoke unhurriedly.
"There's no need for Zhang Zhicong to come and pick me up. In a moment, you will personally send me away in front of all your back mountain disciples!"
Although the voice was not loud, it echoed in everyone's ears!
Everyone thought this kid Ling Feng was crazy.
"Haha, it's simply a joke! You're not bold, you're just a lunatic!"
Zhou Tao was the first to burst out laughing.
The surrounding crowd immediately erupted in laughter.
"And you want our Elder to send you away? Who do you think you are?"
"That's right, even if your Master Zhang Zhicong himself came, he wouldn't be qualified to have our Elder send him away!"
"This kid is truly a madman. It's best to lock him up in our back mountain forever!"
"This kid has so outrageously offended our Master. Let alone Zhang Zhicong coming to pick him up, even the Sect Master came, there would be nothing to say!"
"Hmph, this kid is simply asking for death!"
As the jeers and taunts continued to erupt from the scene.
Elder Qi's mouth twitched incessantly, and his floating figure sped up a bit.
In a flash, he brought Ling Feng's figure to a halt on the ground.
Or rather, he directly threw Ling Feng towards the ground.
Crack!
The bluestone slabs on the ground were shattered by Ling Feng.
But Ling Feng's figure remained as steady as a rock, showing no signs of wavering!
