"wrong!"
Elder Zou's fear stemmed from the two saints.
Over the years, Zou's family has planted countless people inside and outside the Star Palace, and controlled a great deal of profit; he knows this in his heart.
The two saints were busy fighting against the Reverse Star Alliance and had no time to attend to their internal affairs.
Now that the troubles of the Reverse Star Alliance have been temporarily resolved, it's time to settle scores later.
And this green maple leaf is the knife that the two saints used to deal with them!
After figuring this out, Elder Zou's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"No, I can't die here! The Twin Saints won't appear in front of so many people to take my life."
Otherwise, the elders within the Star Palace will surely be thrown into chaos!
"Right now, there's only a nascent youth in the primordial era; I still have room to maneuver."
He made a slight mental adjustment to calm his flustered emotions.
"Hehe, I don't understand what Fellow Daoist Qingfeng is saying?"
My Zou family has always abided by the law, and the mining of spirit ore has always been carried out on time and in accordance with the required quantity. How could we possibly embezzle it?
As for these 300,000 spirit stones, they were all accumulated little by little by my Zou family through doing business.
"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, if you have no evidence, you cannot wrongly accuse me."
Elder Zou's answer was watertight, and he even turned the tables on him.
"Evidence? My evidence is in your head. All I need to do is search your soul and refine your spirit, then I'll know."
Before Qingfeng could finish speaking, he flicked his sleeves.
The twenty-three Golden Thunder Swords, together with the Golden Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, form the Twenty-Four Dragon and Phoenix Sword Formation.
The scorching and violent aura enveloped the entire city gate area.
The target pointed at by the sword was Elder Zou, who had no time to retreat.
Under Qingfeng's divine sense, he was firmly locked inside the formation.
This move was truly unexpected and caught the opponent off guard.
Elder Zou never dreamed that Qingfeng would dare to make a move right at the gates of Tianxing City.
His expression changed drastically as he tried to retreat, but the sword formation was already in place, leaving him nowhere to go.
"Fighting is forbidden within Tianxing City. This is an ironclad rule established when the Star Palace was founded."
As the son-in-law of the two saints, you led the way in breaking the rules. How can the Star Palace expect to gain the respect of its members?
Elder Zou angrily rebuked them while summoning two defensive magic treasures.
One is a fiery tortoise shell shield, the other is a fire crystal iron shield, plus a protective aura, for a total of three layers of protection.
He was extremely cautious in the face of Qingfeng's sword formation.
"Elder Zou Wen of the Star Palace, you have embezzled spirit ore and spirit stones; do you know your crime!"
Qingfeng's voice was like thunder, causing the low-level cultivators in the vicinity to flee in panic to a more distant place.
Just kidding, a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators isn't something they can just watch.
Even the city gate guards retreated, not daring to approach even a fraction of a second.
The power struggles within the Star Palace are no longer something they can meddle in.
"Qingfeng! You've framed me out of thin air, I refuse to accept it! You say I'm a traitor, what evidence do you have?"
I, Zou Wen, have served the Xing Palace for hundreds of years. Even if I have not made any great contributions, I have certainly worked hard!
"You're going to kill a Star Palace Elder with just empty words? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of all the elders?"
Elder Zou retorted while gathering his spiritual energy, wary of the sword formation's attack.
He misjudged the development of the situation; he never expected that Qingfeng would be the weapon the Twin Saints used to eliminate them.
The things he's saying right now are all stalling for time, in order to break Qingfeng's sword formation in one fell swoop.
In his view, he still had a chance to break through.
No matter how powerful Qingfeng is, he is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while he is at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
However, he once again underestimated Qingfeng's strength.
"Sword light transforms into shadow, go!"
With a flick of his main sword, Qingfeng unleashed a burst of golden flames from the remaining twenty-three Golden Thunder Swords. They then multiplied, transforming the entire city gate area into a fiery inferno!
Within the sword formation, one could faintly see sword light forming a golden dragon and a fire phoenix.
Under the control of Qingfeng's surging magical power, they began to besiege Elder Zou.
The twenty-four flying swords, along with their sword energy and sword light, transformed into hundreds of sword threads carrying scorching lightning and fire, frantically attacking Elder Zou's three layers of defense.
"My sword formation isn't enough to deal with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator right now, but it's more than enough to deal with someone like you in the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm!"
Qingfeng formed hand seals and used his magic to continue unleashing his sword techniques.
The sword threads within the sword formation, carrying golden flames that scorched spiritual energy and damaged the soul, swept over Elder Zou, who was trapped in the center, and crushed him relentlessly.
Seeing such an attack coming, Elder Zou's face turned pale.
The power of this sword formation far exceeded his imagination!
"Damn it! What kind of sword formation is this? How can its power be so terrifying!"
He exerted all his strength, activating his defensive magic treasures and protective spiritual light to withstand Qingfeng's sword array attack.
He wanted to rely on his profound magical power to outlast Qingfeng in a battle of attrition.
"Trying to outlast me?"
Qingfeng smiled, showing no sign of panic.
His spiritual power far surpasses that of ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Furthermore, he possesses ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk, which allows him to rapidly restore his mana.
However, it's unnecessary to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
He summoned his magical artifact—the Netherfire Heavenly Sun Throne—and sat directly on it.
One of the special properties of this throne is that it increases the speed of spiritual energy recovery.
His main sword, the Golden Thunder Fire Sword, possesses the supernatural power of amplifying fire.
It possesses an extremely strong affinity for and amplification ability towards fire-attribute spiritual power.
Using this sword to cast fire spells can increase their power by 30% to 50% without any effort, and also reduce the mana consumption.
With increased mana regeneration and reduced mana consumption, it can be said that Qingfeng, sitting on the throne, consumes very little mana.
Moreover, the golden flames accompanying the sword light in the sword formation were even more powerful.
"not good!"
Elder Zou was greatly alarmed upon seeing this.
He then unleashed three more defensive magical artifacts—an ancient bronze mirror, a soft ice silk armor, and a blue jade amulet.
After adding three more defensive magical artifacts, the situation was finally stabilized.
Even so, the golden flames of the flying swords and sword light from the sword array still burned his soul with a stinging pain.
"No! If we keep going like this, we'll die in this sword formation!"
"I'm not made of clay. You're not qualified to kill me, you mere Nascent Soul cultivator."
Elder Zou spat out a mouthful of blood essence, attempting to break the formation at the cost of his life.
Once he breaks through the sword formation and is surrounded, he can escape. After leaving Tianxing City, even the two saints will be unable to capture him.
"Oh no! He's going to use his life essence to activate a secret technique. Siyue, come with me to help!"
At this moment, Wang Ning and Wen Siyue arrived on either side of the Qingfeng Throne.
The two formed hand seals and unleashed a combined attack spell, causing the power of the Dragon and Phoenix Sword Formation to surge by another 20%!
The golden flames on the Golden Thunder Sword intensified, and the terrifying temperature directly shattered Elder Zou's two defensive magic treasures.
"How is this possible! How can it increase in power?!"
Elder Zou never expected that the two Core Formation female cultivators could actually enhance the power of the sword formation.
His ancient bronze mirror could not withstand the force; dense cracks appeared on its surface before it shattered with a bang.
The soft ice silk armor was scorched red by the golden flames, clearly rendering it ineffective.
The last remaining blue jade amulet was still struggling to stay afloat, but the spiritual light on it had dimmed to the extreme.
Seeing that his defensive magic weapon had been broken, Qingfeng pointed his finger, and the Golden Thunder Fire Sword, along with the other twenty-three flying swords, transformed into a giant golden flame sword.
"go!"
Under his control, the golden flame giant sword, carrying the force to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, crashed down.
"No! I can't die here!"
Elder Zou's blue jade talisman shattered instantly.
His physical body instantly turned to ashes in the golden flames, leaving only his nascent soul to teleport away and escape.
But Qingfeng was prepared; he had already set up a space-disrupting array outside the sword formation.
The unstable space caused the Nascent Soul, which had been teleporting away, to fall out.
Then, the evil-repelling thunder transformed into a net of lightning and enveloped it.
"Evil-repelling divine thunder!"
Elder Zou's nascent soul struggled and crashed into the net, but was electrocuted, grimacing and convulsing.
At that moment, he knew he was finished, and his family was finished too.
