I, a centenarian, sweep through the gates of immortality.

The crowd was intimidated by Liu Qingqing's strength and dared not make any rash moves. Now that they heard that Liu Qingqing actually had information, they quickly inquired about it.

"You'd be so kind as to tell us if you have any information?"

Liu Qingqing snorted coldly and stopped arguing with these people. Instead, she recounted in detail how Venerable Xuanming betrayed the leaders of the various sects.

"You all believe that your sect leaders died at Lin Feng's hands?"

"Lin Feng is merely a Core Formation cultivator. Even if he truly possesses a heaven-defying magic weapon, how could he possibly kill so many top-tier Nascent Soul experts?"

After Liu Qingqing's reminder, everyone suddenly realized the truth.

Yes, Lin Feng hasn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, so his strength is seriously insufficient compared to the leaders of the major sects.

It was absolutely impossible for Lin Feng to kill so many top-tier experts by himself.

After figuring this out, everyone immediately pressed for more information.

"Yeah, what exactly happened?"

"How exactly did our respective sect leaders die?"

Liu Qingqing gave a cold laugh and continued speaking.

"It was Venerable Xuanming who led them into the heart of Sighing City and then betrayed them."

"If it weren't for Venerable Xuanming, even if Lin Feng had extraordinary abilities, he wouldn't have been able to kill so many people."

Seeing that Liu Qingqing had pointed the finger at Venerable Xuanming, the people of Xuanqing Temple were immediately enraged.

They knew very well that once this matter was confirmed, not only would Venerable Xuanming be in trouble, but the people of Xuanqing Temple would probably suffer as well.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Qingqing finished speaking, they immediately began to refute her.

"Nonsense! Stop trying to sow discord!"

"You think we'd fall for your tricks?"

"Ridiculous! Our sect leader has always been upright and honorable. He was at the forefront of the attack on Sighing City; how could he possibly betray the leaders of the major sects? You're clearly making baseless accusations!"

Even so, they still sensed something was amiss.

The way cultivators from all the major sects looked at them changed.

They hadn't really trusted Venerable Xuanming before, since Venerable Xuanming had come out on his own while all the sect leaders were trapped inside, so Venerable Xuanming was naturally a suspect.

However, due to Venerable Xuanming's noble status, they dared not doubt him. But now, after Liu Qingqing's explanation, all their previous suspicions about Venerable Xuanming surfaced.

The cultivators from various sects stepped forward and surrounded the people from Xuanqing Temple, coldly rebuking them.

"In my opinion, what Liu Qingqing said makes some sense."

"Do you all remember when Venerable Xuanming rushed out just now? He looked nervous and his eyes were darting around. He looked like he had a guilty conscience."

"He came out alone, but our sect leader is still trapped inside, and Venerable Xuanming has offered no explanation for this."

"It's obvious he did something wrong!"

After combining all the anomalies, everyone became convinced that Venerable Xuanming must be the murderer.

The people from Xuanqing Temple tried their best to explain, but it was all in vain; the cultivators present simply wouldn't listen.

They sealed off all the people from Xuanqing Temple, preventing them from leaving.

"Hmph, you all stay right here. If what Liu Qingqing said is true, you're all going to die!"

After taking control of Xuanqing's audience, the others all looked at Liu Qingqing and asked questions.

"You say our sect leader is dead, but we know nothing about him. We need to see him alive or dead."

"We want to go into the City of Sighs and see it for ourselves!"

Liu Qingqing's original goal was to lure these people into the City of Sighs. She was overjoyed that they wanted to go in.

He looked at the crowd in Xuanqing Temple and said calmly.

"Since you want to go in, then follow me."

After saying that, Liu Qingqing led the way, and the others followed closely behind.

Because Liu Qingqing herself was extremely powerful, she was under tremendous pressure in front of them, and the people behind her did not encounter too many obstacles.

The group quickly arrived at where Lin Feng was.

At this moment, Lin Feng was still in seclusion, frantically absorbing spiritual energy with the help of the jade pendant.

At this point, he had already reached the Great Perfection of Core Formation.

However, they have never found a breakthrough to enter the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Feng felt his spiritual energy becoming increasingly abundant, yet his cultivation level remained stagnant. This feeling of being stuck in a cultivation bottleneck was quite unfamiliar to him and caused him considerable distress.

Since Lin Feng embarked on the path of cultivation, although he encountered many life-or-death choices along the way, his cultivation has been extremely smooth.

Now stuck in a bottleneck, I'm at a loss for what to do.

"Ugh."

Lin Feng sighed softly and murmured to himself.

"I have absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy, but I still haven't found the opportunity to break through. What should I do?"

Just as Lin Feng was troubled, a violent fluctuation came from the spiritual energy in the distance.

Lin Feng's instinctive alertness prepared him for battle. But when he saw the person's face clearly, he froze.

"Liu Qingqing? What brings you in?"

Before Liu Qingqing could speak, Lin Feng saw the people following behind her.

"you!"

Although Lin Feng didn't recognize these people, he could tell from their attire that they were all cultivators from various sects.

Their sect leader died at Lin Feng's hands, and now they've come as a group, likely seeking revenge. Naturally, Lin Feng needs to be prepared for battle.

To Lin Feng's surprise, Liu Qingqing rushed over first and whispered in his ear.

"Lin Feng, don't be impulsive. These people are the ones I brought here, and their purpose is to help you break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible."

Lin Feng was stunned upon hearing this. What did these people have to do with his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage?

Liu Qingqing smiled and whispered.

"Lin Feng, don't you still have the Myriad Spirits Banner?"

"You just killed so many Nascent Soul experts. If you then completely refine the souls of these cultivators and use the Myriad Spirits Banner, you will definitely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

The method provided by Liu Qingqing is indeed a shortcut, but isn't it a bit too evil for Lin Feng? Although Lin Feng once joined a demonic cultivation sect, he is not a demonic cultivator himself.

"this..."

Liu Qingqing noticed Lin Feng's hesitation and immediately added.

"You killed their sect leader. These people already hated you to the core. If you don't kill them all, wouldn't you be leaving a future threat?"

"Don't forget that Venerable Xuanming has escaped. If you can't break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible, you might be killed by Venerable Xuanming."

"Why not kill all these people and improve my own cultivation at the same time?"

Liu Qingqing has always been extremely pragmatic. She doesn't care about moral judgments; she only cares about her own life or death.

"Lin Feng, make a decision quickly; this is your best chance to break through."

Success or failure depends on your own choices.
