Such a powerful voice successfully caught everyone's attention. When people turned their gaze towards that person, the people present were all taken aback, especially the core disciples and elders of the Qinglong Sect. They were all filled with astonishment. That expression was truly as vivid as it could be.
Because in that corner, a familiar figure was slowly stepping out. This was a bald, hunched-over old man. He was dressed sloppily and looked ugly.
But at this moment, his body was emitting the aura of the seventh level of Xuanwu. And this was the elder Li, who had saved Chu Feng from Gong Luyun's hands on that day.
"Old Elder Li, why him? This old man is actually a master of the seventh level of Xuanwu!"
At this moment, even Chu Feng, who had been saved by Elder Li, was greatly surprised. Because no one could have imagined that a gatekeeper elder within the Qinglong Sect would have such strength. His cultivation level was something that even the heads of some first-class sects did not possess.
"Who are you?" Gong Tianping naturally did not recognize Elder Li, but the aura on his body compelled him to treat it seriously.
Although both were of the seventh level of Xuanwu, Elder Li's aura was even more powerful. It was evident that this old man had reached this realm for a long time.
"Old Master Li Changqing" Elder Li said with a smile.
"What? Elder Li Changqing? Isn't that the name of the Qinglong Sect's head?"
"Then does this Elder Li really become the head of our Qinglong Sect? But as the head of the main hall, how could he be a gatekeeper elder?"
When Elder Li said this, not only the people of the Qinglong Sect but even outsiders were astonished. The head of the Qinglong Sect had always been a mysterious figure. Few people had seen his true appearance, and he rarely showed up either. But people knew that he had a name, called Elder Li Changqing.
"Indeed, he is the head of our Qinglong Sect, Lord Head. The Lord Head, in order to discover outstanding disciples, did not always sit on the position of the head of the sect. Instead, he concealed his identity and occupied a position as a gatekeeper elder in the core area of the Qinglong Sect."
"On that day, Gong Luyun wanted to kill Chu Feng, and the Lord Head stopped him himself. Today's match between the two can be said to have been witnessed by the Lord Head a year ago."
At this moment, the old woman among the six guards of the gate spoke, and the other five did not show any surprise. Guo Zhiyun also smiled calmly. It was evident that these people had known Elder Li's true identity for a long time.
Seeing this scene, everyone also believed in Elder Li's identity. However, people were more astonished. The head of the Qinglong Sect was actually a powerful master of the seventh level of Xuanwu. Such strength could definitely lead the Qinglong Sect to become a first-class sect. It turned out that from the very beginning, the Qinglong Sect was not in the second-class sect category!!!
"Haha, speaking of it, I was also implicated in the year-old match. On that day, I bet Chu Feng would win, so Gong Luyun said that if he could win, he would let me and the young friend Chu Feng kneel before him to admit my mistakes."
"Speaking of it, I also worried before. To be honest, I am also the head of a sect. If I really had my disciples kneel before him, I would lose my face."
"Fortunately, the young friend Chu Feng did not disappoint me!" When Elder Li's true identity was revealed, he no longer hid it. He smiled with his fingers touching his few withered whiskers and picked up the match from that day to start joking.
"Elder Li Changqing, as the head of a sect, your handling of things is so unfair. You are siding with Chu Feng and joining forces with him to suppress my son. Do you think you still deserve to be a head?" Seeing Elder Li Changqing saying about his son, Gong Tianping pointed at Elder Li Changqing's nose and angrily scolded.
"Are you unfair?" "If it weren't for me intervening that day, your son would have killed one of the geniuses of the Qinglong Sect. Today's guests here would not have been able to see the brilliance of this genius."
"Kong Tianping, your son's actions are all etched in my memory. I appointed him as the first disciple because I saw his talent, but his character really chilled me to the core."
"Although in this world, one's cultivation level is important, being a person is even more crucial. Otherwise, even if one's cultivation is extremely powerful, they would only cause trouble in this world. Kong Tianping, as the father of Kong Luyun, don't you think you are doing a poor job in educating your child and committing a great sin?" Li Changqing asked rhetorically.
"Humph, it's your territory, so whatever you say is reasonable. I don't have the patience to waste time with you. Quickly have Chu Feng release my son, otherwise the Xuanwu City and your Qinglong Sect will have no end of conflicts." Kong Tianping shouted.
"No way. This life-and-death battle was witnessed by me personally. The loser should die. Chu Feng, if Gong Luyun is unkind to him, you don't have to be virtuous either. Do it!" Li Changqing didn't even consider Kong Tianping's words seriously and waved his hand at Chu Feng, gesturing for him to kill Gong Luyun.
"Yes, sir!" Chu Feng didn't slack off either. He lifted the golden broadsword in his hand and seemed to be about to strike Gong Luyun's neck.
"Whoever dares to touch my son, I'll kill you first." Seeing this, Kong Tianping's expression changed drastically. He unleashed his Xuanwu seventh-level cultivation, and the layers of Xuan force continuously spread, launching an attack against Chu Feng on the combat platform.
"Boom!" However, the torrential Xuan force that had just emerged was oppressed and consumed by another wave of Xuan force, being blocked.
"Whoever dares to touch one of our sect's disciples, don't expect me to be lenient towards you!"
It turned out that Li Changqing had intervened. At this moment, he not only stopped Kong Tianping's attack but also activated the massive Xuan force within him, launching an attack against Kong Tianping and the numerous Xuanwu City experts behind him.
"You old fool! If my son suffers any misfortune, I will crush the Qinglong Sect to the ground!" Kong Tianping was completely enraged. He lunged at Li Changqing with gritted teeth, while at the same time, the Xuanwu City army behind him also launched an attack.
At this moment, Wu Zhiyulong and the six elders guarding the hall were supposed to intervene, but unfortunately, Li Changqing waved his hand at them and said, "Don't help. This insignificant Xuanwu City can be dealt with by me alone!"
When Li Changqing said this, a huge commotion ensued. Many people questioned whether he was bragging, after all, he was only at Xuanwu seventh level, and in terms of cultivation, he was the same as Kong Tianping. If a Kong Tianping could rival him, how could he compete with the entire Xuanwu City?
However, later on, all those who had previously doubted him discovered that they were wrong. Li Changqing didn't possess overly spectacular martial arts skills, but each move and each form was grand and powerful, radiating immense force. Under his control, the spiritual energy could transform into barriers to fend off attacks or turn into sharp blades to strike at enemies.
This elderly man who seemed frail and vulnerable actually relied on his own strength to withstand the numerous experts from Xuanwu City, and from his appearance, it was as if he was acting so casually that there was no sign of strain at all.
