"However, even if we work together, we may not be able to defeat the King of Shadows."
Qin Yi's words caused the atmosphere in the study, which had eased up a little, to instantly become oppressive.
Lou Cheng's sharp gaze was like a sword as he stared at the calm youth in front of him.
After a long while, he finally withdrew his gaze. His face, which had been full of fighting spirit, suddenly became a little lonely.
"Ancestor, this person has always liked to exaggerate to attract attention!"
Luo Wuji saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly said, "Ancestor's strength is unparalleled. With the few of us working together, we will definitely be able to defeat the King of Shadows!"
Lou Cheng lifted his gaze and looked at Luo Wuji indifferently, then waved his hand and said, "He's right. The other party is proficient in talisman crafting, formations, and has dabbled in the Ghost Dao. His strength can no longer be measured by the standards of a normal martial artist. Even if the three of us work together, we may not be able to do much. "
The Mirage Flower Palace's ancestor, Lan Yuqin, was also silent. Only Lu Qingfeng's eyes were fixed on Qin Yi, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Everyone seemed to have something on their minds.
"Two more days."
Suddenly, Lou Cheng raised his head and took a deep breath. "Two days is still a little too short. This old man has lived in seclusion for more than five hundred years. In these five hundred years, I have been longing for a breakthrough, but in the end, I did not succeed. Now that there are only two days left, what can I … "
He did not finish his words, but from his solemn tone, one could tell exactly what he was thinking in his heart.
"Qin Yi!"
At this time, Luo Wuji suddenly raised his head. A pair of scarlet eyes stared at Qin Yi like a ferocious beast. He said angrily, "The Ancestor has lived in seclusion for many years. It's rare for you to come out of seclusion today to help us deal with a strong enemy! It's fine if you don't come up with a plan, but now you dare to spout nonsense, boosting the morale of others and diminishing your own prestige! What are your intentions? "
As he spoke, Luo Wuji's pressure, which belonged to a high-level Dao Change Realm expert, swept toward Qin Yi like a storm.
At this moment, Qin Yi was able to remain composed under Luo Wuji's pressure. He smiled faintly and looked at Luo Wuji mockingly. "What? Sect Master Luo, do you really want to make Qin Mo shut up and send your Old Ancestor to his death? "
"You!" Luo Wuji was rendered speechless by Qin Yi's words. Very quickly, he raised his head again and squeezed out an angry voice from the gaps of his teeth, "I think you're deliberately trying to break the alliance. You've committed a heinous crime! Why don't we just kill him and end all troubles once and for all! "
With that, Luo Wuji suddenly stretched out a palm that was surrounded by golden light. He was about to slap Qin Yi.
Everyone's expressions changed, and they were just about to stop him when they noticed that Luo Wuji's palm had actually stopped in midair. Moreover, he seemed as if he'd been petrified and was unable to move in the slightest.
The expressions of Lou Cheng and the other two Old Ancestors changed abruptly, and their fearful gazes turned toward the door at the same time.
Qin Yi also sensed that something was wrong. He immediately released his hand from the hilt of the Seven Kill Sword and looked toward the door.
Unfortunately, everything outside was the same. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
But when he turned around, he was surprised to find that a man in a coarse gray robe had appeared in front of him.
The man was slender and had snow-white hair. He was dressed in an extremely ordinary manner. His trousers were rolled up, and his bare feet made him look like an ordinary old farmer.
His back was facing Qin Yi, so Qin Yi couldn't see his appearance clearly.
But Qin Yi firmly believed that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to stand in front of him without him noticing at all.
"Meng Zhongxiao?" When Lou Cheng saw the man, his expression instantly changed, and even his emphasis became a little strange. "You're not dead?"
Meng Zhongxiao ignored Lou Cheng and turned around to look at Qin Yi.
At this moment, Qin Yi finally saw the other party's appearance clearly. It had to be said that this person's appearance was indeed too ordinary. There was almost no distinguishing features. If he was placed in a sea of people, he would disappear without a trace in just a moment.
Meng Zhongxiao smiled at Qin Yi. That smile was filled with warmth, and it gave people a very solid feeling.
Then, he turned his head again and looked at Luo Wuji, who was frozen in mid-air. Suddenly, the temperature of the scene became much colder. Even Lou Cheng and the others couldn't help but shiver.
"Qin Yi is a junior that I value. You want to kill him?"
Meng Zhongxiao's voice was calm, and it didn't sound threatening at all. But after Luo Wuji heard this, his forehead was instantly drenched in sweat. He couldn't even open his mouth to speak.
This Luo Fu Sect Leader, who was all-powerful in the capital, was like a powerless child in front of Meng Zhongxiao. After being reprimanded by the Lord, he didn't even have the courage to refute.
"Seeing that this is a very good time, I will spare your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Wuji's body landed heavily on the ground. His face was bruised and swollen. It was obvious that Meng Zhongxiao had purposely increased his strength in order to teach Luo Wuji a lesson.
"Who is this person?"
Looking at the old man in front of him, Qin Yi frowned. His dark eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.
Obviously, he had never seen this person before. But the moment he appeared, he stood up for him. Without a doubt, this person knew him and had been observing him for a long time.
"Could it be that he is?"
Qin Yi suddenly thought of the battle with Ying Yi outside the academy not long ago, when the opponent summoned the Demon God.
At that time, the Demon God's power was unparalleled, and he had no chance of winning. But a flying sword came out of nowhere and destroyed the Demon God's arm with one blow. It was a decisive factor in his victory!
"He is the academy's ancestor?"
After that, Qin Yi specially went to ask his master, Bai Hua. Bai Hua said that the academy's ancestor had already passed away. Because he couldn't think of anything, he could only give up in the end.
Now, this Meng Zhongxiao, who had suddenly appeared, was so powerful, and was also protecting him. This caused him to have no choice but to associate this person with the mysterious expert that had lent him a hand at that time.
Meng Zhongxiao didn't seem to notice Qin Yi's confusion behind him. His calm gaze swept past Lou Cheng and the other three ancestors.
When his gaze swept past Lu Qingfeng, his gaze paused.
Suddenly, Lu Qingfeng's face flushed red. His body seemed to be bound by something, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Luckily, Meng Zhongxiao didn't have any intention to deal with him. After pausing for a moment, he looked away.
