Qiu Mu Qing looked at Qiu Zhi who was still kowtowing before she turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian watched her with his alluring eyes as she said, "I-I accept."

When Qiu Zhi heard Qiu Mu Qing's words, his body trembled in relief. He was delighted. "Thank you so much, Miss Mu Qing! Thank you so much, Miss Mu Qing!!" He thanked her profusely before he got up and quickly stood behind her like an obedient slave.

"Clan Leader, I'm sorry I offended you earlier. I will accept it if you wish to punish me for this incident!" Qiu Zhi said to Qiu An Ping as he stood behind Qiu Mu Qing.

In the past, as the Second Elder of Qiu Clan, Qiu Zhi was stronger than the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan. For this reason, he had always disregarded the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan. This could be seen from the way he had injured Qiu An Ping earlier. However, things were different now. Qiu An Ping was not only the Clan Leader, but the father of his master, Qiu Mu Qing.

Qiu Mu Qing was under the protection of the sectless cultivator who called himself Li Feng. Li Feng could easily kill Qiu Zhi if he wanted to. Due to Li Feng's intervention, Qiu Zhi became Qiu Mu Qing's slave. Naturally, Qiu Zhi no longer dared to treat Qiu An Ping like he did in the past.

Hu!

The Grand Elder of Qiu Clan was standing nearby. When he saw Qiu Zhi had luckily avoided death, he sighed in relief. He felt chills on his back from the cold sweat that had broken out earlier. In fact, when he first met Li Feng and heard him say he was a sectless cultivator, he did not take Li Feng seriously as well. When they were in the Main Hall, after he heard the terms from Clan Leader Dongfang Qian from the Dongfang Clan, he was quite willing to hand Li Feng over to Dongfang Qian to avoid conflict. Li Feng was not from the Qiu Clan after all. There was no reason to fall out with the Dongfang Clan for Li Feng's sake. If they fell out with the Dongfang Clan, not only would it not benefit them, but it would bring the Qiu Clan trouble as well.

If the two clans fell out, the number one clan in Clarity City, the Feng Clan, would definitely take the opportunity to destroy the clans!

In the grand scheme of things, sacrificing a mere sectless cultivator seemed like a good idea. However, the Grand Elder of Qiu Clan did not say anything because Li Feng was Qiu Mu Qing's friend. He had always treated her like his granddaughter. The following events were completely out of his expectation.

First, the Grand Elder of Qiu Clan learned that the Second Elder of Qiu Clan had gone behind him and Qiu An Ping and arranged for Qiu Mu Qing to marry the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan to form a marriage alliance. After that, the sectless cultivator, Li Feng, who had kept quiet suddenly stood up and scolded Qiu Zhi harshly. At that moment, Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan, decided to kill Li Feng, but he was killed by Li Feng instead. Although the Grand Elder of Qiu Clan's cultivation base was at the peak of the First Form of Saint Celestial Stage and was very close to the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he could not catch Li Feng's movement at all. Chills ran up his spine when he heard the short-lived sound of a sword whistling in the air. He was certain if he was in Qiu Gang Yi's position, he would also be killed in just a blow!

'Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage… Li Feng's cultivation base has to be above the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! I'm sure even a powerhouse at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage isn't this strong!' The Grand Elder of Qiu Clan thought to himself when he saw Duan Ling Tian killing Qiu Gang Yi.

The Grand Elder of Qiu Clan was not the only one who thought this way. Clan Leader Qiu An Ping of Qiu Clan, Second Elder Qiu Zhi, Clan Leader Dongfang Qian of Dongfang Clan, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of Dongfang Clan thought the same as well.

For that reason, Qiu Zhi broke down completely when he saw Duan Ling Tian walking

toward him with killing intent.

The other five Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses did not think it was embarrassing that Qiu Zhi had grovelled at Duan Ling Tian's feet since they could feel how strong Duan Ling Tian was.

…

The Qiu clan's Main Hall was silent.

Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the people from Dongfang Clan indifferently.

When the people from Dongfang Clan saw Duan Ling Tian had shifted his attention to them, their expressions changed drastically and began to panic even though they had expected this.

Duan Ling Tian began to slowly make his way to the people from Dongfang Clan. The scene was eerily similar to when he walked toward Qiu Zhi, the Second Elder of Qiu Clan, earlier.

It did not take long for Qiu Zhi to break down and beg for mercy repeatedly. In the end, he even agreed to be Qiu Mu Qing's slave to save his own hide.

'Will the people from Dongfang Clan kneel down and apologize like Qiu Zhi as well?' Qiu An Ping and the Grand Elder of Qiu Clan wondered to themselves.

Each step that Duan Ling Tian took made a faint noise. As faint as the noise was, it sounded thunderous to the people from Dongfang Clan. It sent chills running up their spines.

At this moment, only Dongfang Zhu and the two ordinary elders of Dongfang Clan had a normal expression on their faces. This was because they were unaware of Duan Ling Tian's strength. Although they knew he was strong, they did not think he was stronger than all the Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses in the Dongfang Clan even if they joined forces.

Whether it was Dongfang Qian, the Grand Elder or Second Elder from Dongfang Clan, all of them felt they were going to break down when they saw Duan Ling Tian slowly approaching them. However, they did not act like Qiu Zhi. Since there were three of them, they fared better than Qiu Zhi even though they were frightened of Duan Ling Tian. They did not kneel down under the pressure. However, that did not mean they fear Duan Ling Tian any less than Qiu Zhi did.

'It seems like father, Grand Elder, and Second Elder aren't afraid of Li Feng!' Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan, thought to himself. The two ordinary elders from Dongfang Clan shared similar thoughts.

The calmness of the three Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses misled Dongfang Zhu and the two ordinary elders and made them believe the three Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses were not afraid of the purple-clad young man. They sighed in relief. They no longer thought Duan Ling Tian was terrifying.

Fortunately, Dongfang Qian and the others were unaware of their thoughts. Otherwise, they would be so infuriated to the point of throwing up blood.

How could they not be afraid of the purple-clad young man? At this moment, all three Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy as well. They hoped he would not look for trouble with the Dongfang Clan. However, because three of them stood together and nobody made the first move, they missed the chance to beg for mercy

Duan Ling Tian looked at the Clan Leader Dongfang Qian of Dongfang Clan as he said indifferently, "Clan Leader Dongfang, earlier, you said that you want the Qiu Clan to hand me over to you. Are you planning to invite me back to your clan as a guest? Since Clan Leader Dongfang is so courteous, I find it difficult to reject your invitation. Should I just follow you back to the Dongfang Clan?!" Duan Ling Tian feigned concern as he spoke mockingly.

When Dongfang Qian heard Duan Ling Tian's words, he was so afraid that it felt as though his legs might give way. He cursed himself for saying such words earlier.

"Li Feng, you're dreaming!" Someone cursed harshly without any warning.

It caught everyone's attention. Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, turned to look at the person who had spoken.

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes.

The person who had spoken up was none other than Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan.

Dongfang Zhu had a grim expression on his face as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. When he sensed everyone was looking at him, he straightened his back and said, "My father asked the Qiu Clan to hand you over to us so that we can kill…"

Bang!

Dongfang Zhu was interrupted before he could finish his sentence. At the same time, a loud bang could be heard followed by a sharp cry. "Ah!"

After a while, a faint noise could be heard. It was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

Thud!

It was the sound of Dongfang Zhu falling to the ground after Dongfang Qian kicked him. Dongfang Qian had no time to scold Dongfang Zhu at all. He could only physically stop his son from finishing his sentence.

Dongfang Qian was so furious he felt as though he was going to explode! This useless son of his! Could he not tell the sectless cultivator was not someone they could afford to offend? Could he not see that his father, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder had to act humbly in front of the sectless cultivator?

Dongfang Zhu was enraged when he was kicked. He was slightly injured. However, he was shocked when he discovered he had been kicked by his father. "F-father! You… What's the meaning of this?"
