Chapter 198 A sudden turn of events
The faces of many disciples of the Sword Sect were as gloomy as water at this moment. Everyone clenched their fists and looked angry.
Their eyes, as wide as copper bells, seemed to spit fire as they stared intently at Jiang Qinghe standing across from them, repeatedly shouting, "Jiang Qinghe, why on earth did you betray the Sword Sect? Isn't our Sword Sect treating you well enough?"
These questions exploded in the air like thunder, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
However, facing such a huge wave of accusations, Jiang Qinghe remained calm and was not affected at all.
His stern face was as if cast from cold iron, expressionless. He responded slowly in a bone-chilling voice, "The Sword Sect's actions have long since strayed from the righteous path of chivalry. Although my Jiang family may not possess great power, we will absolutely not follow the Sword Sect down this path of no return."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people of the Sword Sect were so angry that they trembled all over, their faces flushed and their necks thick, but they could not find the right words to refute Jiang Qinghe.
After all, even they themselves felt that what the Sword Sect's ancestor did today was inappropriate.
If Xie Qijun was born with an evil nature, and the Sword Sect prided itself on being righteous, the problem was that Xie Qijun was not a person with an evil nature, which put everyone in the Sword Sect in an awkward situation.
At this moment, suddenly a loud noise came from behind the Sword Sect members again.
The Tianji Sect's group came over in a mighty procession, and walked directly to the Xiaoyun Sect's location without any courtesy, and clearly expressed their support for the Xiaoyun Sect on the spot.
The reason why Tianji Sect supports Xiaoyun Sect so strongly is simple - Lin Xian'er is the junior uncle of Tianji Sect who has been personally recognized by the Grand Uncle.
Naturally, the Tianji Sect could not stand by and watch her being bullied.
At this moment, the entire scene seemed to be frozen in time. The atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating, and it was once in a stalemate.
Qi Feng watched the changes in the situation anxiously, watching the situation gradually develop in a direction that was unfavorable to them.
After careful consideration, he winked at Qi Ling'er beside him, suggesting that she should prepare to retreat.
So, the three of them began to move back carefully and tiptoe, trying to escape from this dangerous place quietly.
However, how could Lin Xian'er, who had been secretly watching their every move, let them go easily?
Just when Qi Feng and others had taken a few steps, Lin Xian'er decisively gave Xie Qijun an order, asking him to step forward and stop them immediately.
After receiving the order, Xie Qijun jumped without hesitation and instantly appeared in front of Qi Feng and the other three, blocking their way.
Xie Qijun's face was as cold as frost, and his eyes stared coldly at the three people in front of him. He thought to himself, if it weren't for them, how could the master become so weak?
More importantly, if these uninvited guests hadn't disrupted things, he would have been able to stay alone with his master and enjoy that rare peaceful time.
But now, because of these three people, not only has everything that was originally beautiful been destroyed, but also in the future, under the strict surveillance of the three uncles, it will probably be a luxury for him to be alone with the master again.
Thinking of this, Xie Qijun's anger burned more and more fiercely, and his hatred towards Qi Feng and the other three became stronger and stronger. He wished he could draw his sword on the spot and cut these three hateful people into pieces.
"Humph, what? You have wronged me for no reason, and now you are even trying to escape? Master Qi, you have truly set a 'glorious' example for the world," Xie Qijun said gritting his teeth, his words full of sarcasm and ridicule.
The two words "Master Qi Gu" that he mentioned were like a thunderclap that exploded among the crowd.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes towards Qi Feng and the other two. Looking at the unfamiliar faces, people couldn't help but feel suspicious, whispering to each other and discussing.
At this time, an elder of the Sword Sect suddenly stepped forward, stared at Xie Qijun with suspicion and asked, "You just said... he is Qi Feng?" His tone revealed disbelief.
Elder Shen frowned and tried hard to recall this person.
At the beginning, it was this person who led the other two people into the gate of the Sword Sect. He happened to be out on business at that time, and when he met these three people, he felt strange because they were looking for the ancestor directly.
What he didn't expect was that the ancestor actually came out in person to summon them.
Since then, a shocking piece of news quickly spread throughout the entire Sword Sect - Xie Qijun was born with evil bones, and the purpose of their visit this time was to defeat Lin Xianer and her apprentice.
Thinking of this, Elder Shen's fury instantly erupted. His eyes widened as he stared at Qi Feng in front of him, gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay, so it's you. It's you who caused our Sword Sect to fall into such an unkind and unjust situation."
Facing Elder Shen's angry rebuke, Qi Feng's heart sank suddenly, but he knew that he must not reveal his true identity at this moment, so he responded with forced calmness, "What Qi Feng? You must have recognized the wrong person."
Although he knew in his heart that it would be difficult to escape this time, Qi Feng secretly made up his mind to ensure that his daughter Qi Ling'er could escape safely no matter what.
He firmly believed that in time, the extremely talented Qi Ling'er would definitely avenge his wronged father.
Without much hesitation, Qi Feng took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly handed the teleportation array given to him by his master to Qi Ling'er, and gave her a look of trust.
Qi Ling'er nodded in understanding. She knew the deep meaning of her father's action and secretly vowed not to let her father down. At the same time, she felt sad in her heart. Her father was planning to sacrifice himself to save her from this predicament.
She had heard her father say before that this teleportation array could only accommodate two people. If it weren't for Lin Xian'er, her father's cultivation would not have been reduced to nothing, and he would not have chosen to sacrifice himself at this moment. Damn Lin Xian'er, she must kill her.
He Yun, who had been standing aside and watching coldly, suddenly sneered. He slowly took out a mysterious magic weapon from his arms. This magic weapon was the treasure appraising device that he had carefully improved.
This treasure appraising device can reveal the true appearance of a person or an object with just a light shine.
As expected, when the light of the treasure appraising device shone on Qi Feng, Qi Ling'er and Qi Sheng, the many immortal cultivators present widened their eyes and stared at them with anger on their faces.
A wave of anger washed over them after being fooled and deceived. They had never imagined that they would fall so easily into the trap set by the treacherous father and daughter. They cursed inwardly, "Damn them! They are so abominable."
