He suspected that it was the disciples of Xiaopei Mountain who went out and got into trouble, and he was completely implicated.

"Bao Yufeng entered the sect at the same time as me this year, one of the seven geniuses with the Five-Star Star Acupoint." Qiu Ming replied to Liou Yuan, speaking through gritted teeth.

He didn’t care who had offended Bao Yufeng; if someone dared to upturn his house, he had no qualms about retaliating.

"Yes, yes, it’s him." He Rui nodded quickly, looking dejected: "We wouldn’t dare provoke him; we don’t even understand why he specifically chose to rob us."

Another disciple with a leg injury hobbled over, using a broken stick as a crutch, and said with a bitter expression: "He started attacking as soon as he entered the mountain; the only ones in Xiaopei Mountain who can fight well are Mr. Liou and Mr. Qiu, we are no match for that Five-Star Star Acupoint genius."

"It’s one thing to rob us of our Star Stone, but to even upend our homes is simply too much."

"Bao Yufeng!" Liou Yuan remembered the name, murmuring it to himself before looking around, but he didn’t see Fu Xueping or Xie Xiaobo.

Their residences had also been upended; logically, they should be on Xiaopei Mountain under such circumstances.

Immediately, he asked, "Where are Xie Xiaobo and Fu Xueping?"

"Mr. Xie and Miss Fu are the most seriously injured, they’re currently in the cave healing." A thirteen-year-old young female disciple timidly pointed behind them to the peak where they transported logs and said softly, "They can’t move easily right now, Mr. Liou, please come with me."

"No need to watch. I say we should go straight to Little Cyan Valley and wreck it too." Qiu Ming took down the giant axe from his back, shouting as he pulled Liou Yuan towards Little Cyan Mountain.

"If you and I join forces, if Bao Yufeng lasts as long as a cup of tea, I’ll bow and call him dad."

Liou Yuan, on the other hand, calmed down, sensing something unusual.

Although Five Extremes Mountain doesn’t prohibit martial arts competitions.

The commotion on Xiaopei Mountain was too big, it couldn’t be covered up with just claiming it was a sparring match.

They’ve been away for six or seven days, and yet no one from the Disciplinary Hall responsible for enforcing the rules has come over, clearly there’s something fishy going on.

"Don’t panic, let’s clarify the situation first." Liou Yuan suppressed the impulsive Qiu Ming and addressed the timid young female disciple: "Take us there."

Drip drip drip!

Cold liquid flowed down the mouth of the cave, dripping into the puddle at the bottom.

Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming entered the damp cave and saw the figures of Xie Xiaobo and Fu Xueping lying inside.

Indeed, as the Xiaopei Mountain disciples had said, these two were the most severely injured.

The others were at least able to move.

Xie Xiaobo and Fu Xueping found it difficult to even move.

As Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming entered the cave, the two tried to get up, and only Fu Xueping could barely sit up, while Xie Xiaobo could only raise his head for a glance before painfully falling back down with a wry smile.

As Liou Yuan approached, he saw that Xie Xiaobo’s shirt around the chest had completely torn, revealing a bloody chest.

Fu Xueping’s left leg was torn open by a bloody gash.

Fortunately they were just external injuries, with cultivation, what would be serious injuries for ordinary people would heal in a few months. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Liou Yuan narrowed his eyes at this scene.

Clearly, the person who struck knew their limits well, not causing major issues, but ensuring these two would be unable to recover quickly.

Liou Yuan already understood the general situation from the Xiaopei Mountain disciples, so he asked directly about the key issue: "Why hasn’t anyone from the Disciplinary Hall come?"

Fu Xueping, enduring the pain, leaned the upper half of her body gently against the stone wall of the cave, her pale face looking at Liou Yuan, she said softly: "They came once and left, claiming they’ll properly punish Bao Yufeng."

Xie Xiaobo couldn’t remain calm, swearing: "Punish my ass, the person who came was related to Bao Yufeng, they just made a show of it and then confined Bao Yufeng in Little Cyan Valley."

"Not a single Star Stone that was robbed from us has been returned."

Xie Xiaobo had already broken through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.

This was also why he was the most seriously injured; clearly, Bao Yufeng paid special attention to him.

He had more wit than Fu Xueping, having already figured out the trick, thus his emotions were the most charged: "I bet they’re just going light on him, they’ll confine him for a while until the storm passes, then it’s all over."

"With such a backing, no wonder he’s so reckless." Liou Yuan laughed coldly, on the way he had guessed some of this.

If he didn’t have some connections within the sect, he wouldn’t dare so brazenly upend Xiaopei Mountain.

This was beyond arrogance; it was blatant contempt.

But he still felt there was something fishy involved.

"The timing chosen by Bao Yufeng was too uncanny, just when Qiu Ming and I were away. The weakest moment of Xiaopei Mountain, it feels like he had inside information."

"Moreover, why did they choose to target Xiaopei Mountain specifically, ignoring other peaks?"

"And the people of the Xie Family? Qiu Ming, knowing Xie Xiaobo’s background, stepped forward to ask: "What about Xie Guangyi?"

Xie Xiaobo’s expression turned more bitter as he sighed: "If it were an older disciple bullying me, he would definitely stick up for me."

"But Bao Yufeng... he entered the sect at the same time as me, similar in age, if I’m outmatched and get beaten, even if my uncle knew he wouldn’t interfere."

"After all, he wouldn’t shamelessly punish a new disciple?"

"And with the Disciplinary Hall not coming..."

Qiu Ming tilted his head and thought for a moment, immediately understanding, smirking sarcastically: "Indeed, it’s because you’re too useless."

"Nonsense, Bao Yufeng is too strong, he didn’t feel like a Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer to me, and even you may not win against him." Xie Xiaobo, ashamed and furious, hurriedly explained:

"Impossible!" Qiu Ming interrupted Xie Xiaobo’s speculations confidently, "I’ve seen Bao Yufeng’s spiritual power, it’s similar to mine, and I still have a way to go. He couldn’t have reached the fifth layer so quickly from the fourth."

"It’s because you’re too weak, bringing disgrace to Xiaopei Mountain."

"If it were me, I’d make sure that kid couldn’t escape."

Liou Yuan agreed that Qiu Ming made sense, he had just broken through to Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, understanding very well the amount of spiritual power needed to progress from the fourth to fifth layer, he immediately supported: "A Five-Star Star Acupoint isn’t a monster, though they can cultivate faster than ordinary disciples, such a gap takes time to close, you must have seen wrongly."

Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming both agreed that Xie Xiaobo got it wrong.

He didn’t argue, just smiled awkwardly.

Fu Xueping, however, had a look of recollection in her gentle eyes, and said softly: "There was someone following Bao Yufeng, hiding in the dark."

"Even though he didn’t reveal himself during Mr. Xie’s fight with Bao Yufeng, I could sense his presence."

Liou Yuan raised an eyebrow at this, realizing why he had come to ask Xie Xiaobo and Fu Xueping.

Their cultivation was higher than the other Xiaopei Mountain disciples, and naturally they saw things more clearly.

Upon hearing there was another person, Liou Yuan became alert, and asked immediately: "Did you see who it was?"

"Body hidden in gray mist, unclear." Fu Xueping shook her head.

"He didn’t make a move, but his cultivation certainly wasn’t inferior to Bao Yufeng’s."

Speaking of that person’s cultivation, Fu Xueping’s tone was very confident.

"I practice the Jade Bone Breathing Skill, it includes a reflection method, I could vaguely feel his cultivation, I’m sure I wasn’t wrong."

"Gray mist?" Liou Yuan noticed Qiu Ming glaring, then turned to him, as if he had something to say.

Liou Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he should speak frankly.

"Among this year’s batch of disciples, there’s one with a Five-Star Mist Acupoint, do you know who?" Qiu Ming’s eyes burned, not waiting for Liou Yuan to ask, he stated the name.

"Liou Tao from the Liou Family!"

"He’s after us!" Liou Yuan’s prior suspicions found an answer at that moment.

Why Bao Yufeng chose such a coincidental time, because Liou Tao was behind him.

Liou Yuan’s mind recalled Liou Tao’s fleeting appearance outside Five Extremes Mountain days ago, and he cursed: "That guy being a Mist Acupoint, no wonder."

After listening to repeated lessons on the cliff.

Liou Yuan’s knowledge had significantly increased.

Mist Acupoint and Ice Acupoint, both are classified as water within the five elements star acupoints.

Ice is the form of water solidified, classified as water.

Whereas Mist Acupoint is the form of water evaporated.

Ice Acupoint is ruthless.

Mist Acupoint is mysterious, especially skilled in concealment and assassination.
