Qingling remained unmoved and smiled faintly, "Isn't this friend being a bit too agitated? It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Wouldn't it be better to find a better solution? Besides, I'm here to mediate on behalf of someone else."
A hint of surprise flashed in the mysterious man's eyes, seemingly touched by Qingling's words. Just as the two were facing off, Zhao De stepped forward and said loudly, "Since you are a hero, why are you so petty? Although we have different stances, our common goal is to protect this land and the people living here. Instead of fighting, let's sit down and talk it over."
Upon hearing this, the man nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Alright, since outsiders have intervened, we can temporarily stop the conflict and see if there's a solution." He then turned and walked towards the outer edge of the crowd, signaling his men to retreat a short distance.

Chapter 875 Explains the Reasons
Elder Chu Fengnian immediately showed a look of joy and stepped forward: "Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation! In fact, no matter what conflicts or differences exist between us, the most important thing is to prioritize the overall situation and not let personal grudges lead to a greater tragedy."
Qingling nodded in agreement: "That's right, only by putting aside prejudices and uniting can we overcome this difficulty." She turned to the stranger who had been silently observing the situation and asked, "May I ask your name, sir? Would you be willing to join the negotiations to discuss countermeasures?"
The mysterious man hesitated for a moment before finally giving his name: "My name is Ye Feng."
At the same time, Zhao De was also secretly pondering: This person's strength is unfathomable and his origins are unknown. We need to be wary of whether he is an enemy or a friend.
The various groups sat in a circle and began to discuss how to handle the current situation.
Ye Feng broke the deadlock by speaking first: "It was indeed my fault that the previous incident started, but I also had my own difficulties..." He then briefly recounted the events and explained the reasons for the misunderstanding.
After listening, Chu Fengnian suddenly understood: "I see, then let's start from this point and see if we can find a solution that satisfies both sides!"
Zhao De, however, never fully trusted Ye Feng. He secretly gave the other disciples of the Lingyun Sect a look, signaling them to remain vigilant: "Even though you say that, words alone cannot dispel our doubts. How about this, you show some real action to demonstrate your sincerity?"
Seeing that tensions were about to rise again, Qingling quickly reassured everyone: "Please calm down. I believe everyone has their own principles. The key to solving the problem is to give each other enough understanding and support."
Ye Feng remained silent for a long time before finally making up his mind: "Alright, I can agree to make compensation as a sign of sincerity."
Just as everyone was about to continue discussing the details, a violent roar suddenly came from the sky, and the entire earth shook violently...
Chu Fengnian's expression changed drastically: "Oh no, what's going on?"
Zhao De also felt very uneasy: "It seems that new trouble is coming our way..."
Qingling quickly stood up and looked around to check the situation: "Everyone, don't panic. We need to figure out the situation before we can deal with it."
At that moment, dark clouds filled the sky, and suddenly a bolt of lightning appeared, as if an invisible pressure was enveloping the entire village.
A villager exclaimed: "Look at the sky! Is it going to rain?"
The other person said tremblingly: It's not like ordinary rainwater... it seems to carry a strong evil aura!
Faced with this sudden change, Zhao De shouted: "Brothers and sisters, get ready to fight the new enemy!" As he spoke, he gripped his weapon tightly, ready to join the battle at any moment.
Qingling frowned deeply: "We must find out the truth immediately. Otherwise, this peaceful land will never have peace again..."
Looking at the strange phenomena in the sky, Chu Fengnian felt uneasy: "It seems that our journey is far from over. I hope that this time we can work together to overcome the difficulties."
Just as everyone held their breath, a chilling laugh rang out: "Hehehe... Foolish humans, you will never know what true power is. Today is the day of your demise!"
With that chilling laugh, the dark clouds in the sky grew even denser, as if something was gathering strength.

Chapter 876 All is well
A blinding beam of light pierced through the dark clouds, gradually revealing a blurry figure. He wore a long black robe, his face twisted and evil, his eyes filled with greed and malice.
"Who is disturbing the peace here?!" Zhao De shouted sharply, gripping his longsword tightly, ready for battle.
The mysterious figure slowly descended to the ground, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "I am the Sect Master of the Evil Sect—Venerable Mingluo! How dare you all obstruct my plans!" His voice, like a chilling wind, swept through everyone's hearts, sending shivers down their spines.
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow: "So it was you, you old thief, who was behind this. It's a real shame I couldn't get rid of you last time."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Mingluo laughed loudly: "You were indeed lucky to escape last time, but don't think you can get away so easily this time!" With that, he condensed a ball of pitch-black evil energy in his hand and swept it towards the crowd.
Seeing this, Qingling quickly cast a spell, forming a barrier in the air to block the attack. "Venerable Mingluo, this matter could have been resolved peacefully today. Why must we fight to the death?" Although her tone was calm, it contained an undeniable power.
Faced with this question, Venerable Mingluo sneered: "Fairy, you speak so lightly. Do you think I'm really afraid of you?" Before he finished speaking, he had already swiftly attacked the direction where Qingling was.
At the same time, Chu Fengnian swung his cane, releasing powerful energy in an attempt to suppress the enemy: "Everyone, retreat quickly!"
The two sides immediately engaged in fierce combat, and a thick, pungent atmosphere filled the air. The villagers watching were stunned by the scene, many even kneeling down to pray for safety.
Zhao De led a small team of disciples to confront the charging evil sect members: "Protect the people! We must not let them suffer any harm!"
Just as the battle raged fiercely, Ye Feng quietly left the fray and headed towards a secluded spot outside the village. There, he hid some special items he had prepared beforehand…
On the other side, Fairy Qingling was desperately fighting off Venerable Mingluo's relentless attacks. She was secretly anxious: if this continued, she feared she would be overwhelmed...
Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept across the battlefield, instantly dispersing some of the previously murky atmosphere. Then, a soft white light enveloped the entire space, and everyone's movements seemed to slow down.
Qingling looked up and was pleasantly surprised to see another stunningly beautiful figure in the sky. "Sister Xueyao, what brings you here?"
"How can I stand idly by when my sister is in trouble?" The newcomer was Xueyao, another outstanding disciple of Tianyao Mountain. She landed lightly with a jade flute in her hand. "Let's join forces and deal with this guy!"
With Xueyao's help, the situation instantly reversed. Two completely different yet extremely complementary forces converged to form a much stronger protective barrier, forcing Venerable Mingluo into a series of retreats…
However, just when everyone thought victory was imminent, even more dark power suddenly surged around Venerable Mingluo's body. "Hmph! Don't think you can defeat me like this! The real battle has only just begun—"
Just then, Ye Feng, who had been lurking on the periphery waiting for the right moment, finally made his move. He swiftly threw out several strange talismans that flew straight towards Venerable Mingluo. "Take this!"
Chapter 877 Why do you insist on fighting us to the death?
Chapter 877 Why must we be locked in a life-or-death struggle?
These specially crafted magical artifacts contained extremely pure spiritual energy, capable of temporarily suppressing the exertion of evil energy. Sure enough, when they struck the mountaintop, they triggered a violent explosion, directly weakening the opponent's strength considerably.
"What..." Venerable Mingluo stared in shock at his own condition, his face turning deathly pale. "Impossible! How did you manage to do this?!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingling and Xueyao employed a two-pronged approach, completely defeating their opponent in one fell swoop. "It's over...it should all be over."
Seeing that all was lost, the remaining members of the evil sect could only flee the scene in panic. In the end, only the Venerable Mingluo was left lying helplessly in the ruins.
Zhao De walked over, squatted down, and asked, "Tell me, why are you so determined to fight us to the death?"
After a moment of silence, the latter spoke weakly, "It's only because...there's a legendary treasure here that can change the course of the world...I want...to obtain it..."
Everyone was stunned by this answer. No one had expected that such a shocking secret was involved.
"A treasure that will change the world order?" Fairy Qingling frowned slightly and turned to Ye Feng. "Young Master Ye, do you know what this is all about?"
Ye Feng shook his head: "This is the first time I've heard of this. However, what Venerable Mingluo said is not entirely unfounded. This place may indeed be hiding some secrets that we do not know."
Xueyao gently stroked the jade flute in her hand, her tone calm yet firm: "Sister, no matter how precious it is, we cannot let it fall into the hands of evil spirits. We must find it first!"
Just then, Zhao De suddenly noticed a cunning glint in the eyes of the fallen Venerable Mingluo. "Not good! This old thief is stalling for time! Everyone be careful!" As soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Mingluo suddenly leaped up from the ground, turning into a cloud of black smoke and disappearing, leaving only a low, hoarse laugh echoing in the air.
Ye Feng's gaze sharpened: "I didn't expect this person to have this hidden trick up his sleeve..."
Chu Fengnian waved his cane and scanned his surroundings. "The most urgent task now is to find the location of this so-called 'treasure' as soon as possible and make sure that the evil sects don't get there first."
Just then, a villager rushed over to report that strange markings and array traces had been found near the village, suggesting that someone had been frequently active in the area recently. "It might be related to that thing."
After discussion, the group decided to split into two teams: Qingling would lead one group to remain in the village to continue protecting innocent civilians from harm; while the other team, led by Ye Feng, would head to the suspicious area to search for clues. At the same time, Xueyao offered to accompany them to help overcome the obstacles and traps.
Just as they were about to set off, Ye Feng turned to face Qingling and said, "Fairy, please pay close attention to your surroundings and send me a message immediately if anything unusual happens."
The latter nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I'll be here and there, nothing will go wrong."
Meanwhile, as they ventured deeper into the forest, Xueyao, with her keen observation skills, quickly located a rather secluded cave entrance filled with complex restrictions. "This should be it."
After carefully breaking through the seals, the three successfully entered the inner hall. Inside, there was nothing but devastation. Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, they suddenly heard a slight noise behind them—turning around, they saw a pale-faced, heavily injured young man leaning against the rock wall, slowly standing up.

Chapter 878 Now Let's Reveal the Mystery
"Who are you...?" Seeing that the other party was clearly a member of the opposing camp, Chu Feng coughed lightly and asked.
The young man gritted his teeth and endured the pain to support his body. "No need to be on guard... I just happened to be passing by and accidentally saw something I shouldn't have seen... They think I have key information, so they have been chasing me relentlessly."
Ye Feng stepped forward, supporting his shoulder and offering appropriate treatment. "Since that's the case, why not just explain everything so we can resolve this problem together?"
After some explanation, it was learned that the young man named Ling Yunfei was the son of the leader of a minor martial arts sect. A few days ago, while out gathering herbs, he unfortunately encountered several suspicious men in black conspiring about something. Out of curiosity, he followed them and eavesdropped, only to discover that they wanted to excavate some legendary powerful artifact for their cultivation. Unfortunately, the news leaked to others, triggering a series of chain reactions that ultimately led to his own family's annihilation, forcing him to flee for his life.
Upon learning the truth, the three couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life. However, an even more troublesome matter followed—according to the information provided by Ling Yunfei, the evil sect had likely already found the exact location to enter the underground palace and was conducting secret operations. "We shouldn't delay; let's set off immediately."
Just as they were about to reach their target area, a group of ferocious-looking enemies suddenly appeared, wielding various weapons and equipment, poised to attack. The leader looked down at Ye Feng and his group with a cold laugh: "Hehehe... I knew you'd come here. But unfortunately for you, nothing can stop us from achieving victory this time!"
"Don't even think about succeeding!" Xueyao launched a preemptive counterattack while calling on her companions to prepare for battle.
The fierce battle resumed. With the vast difference in strength between the two sides, and the special talismans in Ye Feng's possession once again proving effective, they finally managed to suppress the enemy's main force and capture several key henchmen for interrogation...
As night fell, the group finally arrived at the ancient altar, nestled deep within the mountain and heavily guarded. "According to the map, this should be the exact coordinates where the treasure is hidden," Ye Feng analyzed, carefully comparing the map with the map.
At that moment, a voice broke the surrounding silence: "May you have enough wisdom to open this door and not suffer the same tragic fate." It was the cold laughter of the Venerable Mingluo, but he was not in sight.
“He must be hiding somewhere again, observing the situation,” Qingling said coldly. “But that doesn’t matter. As long as we can find the treasure, we can end all this madness.”
Zhao De drew his sword and pointed it at the center of the altar, his eyes flashing with determination: "Very well, then let's reveal the mystery now!"
"May you have enough wisdom to open this door and avoid the same tragic fate." The chilling voice rang out again, making the atmosphere even more oppressive.
Ye Feng's eyes searched the darkness, trying to find the source of Venerable Mingluo's voice. "This guy is definitely nearby. Everyone be careful and don't let him ambush you."
Xueyao lightly gripped her jade flute, watching all directions warily: "Don't worry, with me here, no uninvited guest will be able to get close."
Zhao De gripped his sword hilt tightly, radiating a murderous aura: "We've come this far; we can't back down now. Even if there's danger ahead, we must face it head-on."
