"All of you, stop."

Xiao Qingshan's voice was as loud as a bell. A powerful Spiritual Energy pressure instantly enveloped the entire audience.

The confrontation between Su Yuanying and Third Elder Xue Jing had no choice but to stop. However, Su Yuanying had no choice but to swallow his anger when he saw his beloved disciple being knocked unconscious by a palm.

He looked straight at Sect Master Xiao Qingshan, and asked with an impolite tone: "Today, the Third Elder disregarded the rules of the sect and interfered in the competition without permission, and forcefully took action against a junior. Such a despicable act, if Sect Master does not give me an explanation, even if my cultivation is no longer here, even if I have to risk my old life, I must seek justice for my disciple!"

Xiao Qingshan's complexion turned ashen. The excitement he felt just now because of his disciple's outstanding performance had completely vanished.

He looked at the two people on the stage and said sternly, "The sect competition, you two have made such a ruckus, how can you still have the bearing of sect elders?"

Finishing this sentence, he turned to the Third Elder and shouted, "Third brother, you're a True Spirit Realm cultivator, and you're actually ambushing a child that's only at the Body Refinement Realm. You've really given my Cyan Profound Sect face, the entire sect disciples are all here watching from the sidelines, if I don't punish you, how can I give them an explanation?"

"Sect Master, I was anxious just now, so I made a mistake. I hope that Sect Master can forgive me." Xue Jing still didn't dare to act rashly in the face of the sect master.

"Sovereign, the Third Elder only saved his son for a moment. This is understandable." At this moment, an elder in the VIP seats stood out and actually spoke up for Xue Jing.

"That's right, Ol 'Three has always been wholeheartedly managing the sect's affairs during these few days when the sect master was in closed door cultivation. I hope that the sect master can take things lightly." Another person added.

Although Xiao Qingshan was angry, he knew that he had to be careful with this decision.

Ol 'Three had a lot of trusted aides in the sect, so it was impossible to punish him severely. However, with so many disciples watching today, if the punishment was too light, then where would the authority of the sect head go?

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Xiao Qingshan said: "Third Brother, now that I'm out of seclusion, you can forget about the matters of the sect. Go to the Sky Cliff and meditate!"

Third Elder Xue Jing did not have much objection to Sect Master's decision. Instead, it was Su Yuanshan who did not agree with it.

"Sovereign, he injured my disciple to such an extent. How can he be forgiven so easily? This will make the disciples of the other sects feel scared!"

When Xiao Qingshan heard this, he frowned slightly. He waved his sleeves and said, "Bring Su Xing to the inner courtyard. I will personally help heal his wounds. Don't worry, I will return a good and unharmed disciple to you."

Seeing that Xiao Qingshan had already said this, Su Yuanying felt embarrassed to say anything more.

As long as Su Xing could recover quickly, nothing else mattered.

Su Xing, who had fainted, didn't know what had happened in the outside world. He was directly brought to the inner courtyard by Xiao Qingshan. Xiao Qingshan intended to use the Spiritual Energy within his body to help heal his internal injuries.

However, just when Xiao Qingshan placed both of his hands on Su Xing's back and started to channel his Spiritual Qi, a huge suction force suddenly surged out from Su Xing's body.

"What's going on?" Xiao Qingshan had never seen such a situation before.

However, a Body Refinement Cultivator had yet to open his Sea of Origin. With how much spirit energy he could store in his body, even if he tried his best to absorb it, it wouldn't affect Xiao Qingshan much.

However, Xiao Qingshan had still underestimated the terrifying suction force within Su Xing's body. It was like a bottomless pit. While Xiao Qingshan was astonished, he had no choice but to forcefully break the physical contact between him and Su Xing.

"There's something strange going on inside this kid's body!" Xiao Qingshan's hawk-like eyes began to carefully size Su Xing up.

At this moment, a deep Spiritual Energy fluctuation was emitted from within Su Xing's body. It was from the inside and the outside. Then, Su Xing opened his eyes.

"Ugh …" So comfortable! " Su Xing lazily stretched his waist. He raised his head and looked around as he muttered to himself, "Where is this place?"

Su Xing stood up from the ground and turned around while looking left and right. When he saw Sect Master Xiao Qingshan, who was seated behind him, he was immediately shocked.

Furthermore, Xiao Qingshan's expression was not much better than Su Xing's. He stared at Su Xing and muttered, "How is this possible? How is that possible? "

Su Xing was a little confused. Could the grand master be old and muddle-headed?

"Sovereign, are you alright?" Su Xing stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xiao Qingshan's eyes. However, he didn't expect Xiao Qingshan to catch him red-handed.

"Sect Head, you …" Su Xing thought that this lord had gone crazy and had some sort of special habit towards him. Just as he was about to struggle, a peculiar warmth engulfed his entire body.

It was Xiao Qingshan using his own Spiritual Energy to examine Su Xing's body. After a short moment, Xiao Qingshan shook his head, his face filled with disbelief.

"Master, what happened to you?" Su Xing asked again.

Only then did Xiao Qingshan say: "You brat, you just absorbed so much of my Spiritual Qi. Don't tell me you don't have any consciousness?"

After all, Su Xing was completely unconscious. For a mere Refinement Stage disciple to absorb the sect head's Spiritual Energy, it was as if he didn't want to live anymore.

However, this was not the main point. The main point was Xiao Qingshan's last sentence.

"You brat, after absorbing my spirit energy, you actually managed to break through. This is the first time that I've seen such a thing."

Su Xing shuddered. What? Did he hear it right? He said he broke through?

Su Xing hurriedly gathered his thoughts and began to feel his own Spiritual Energy cultivation. This feeling truly gave him a fright.

He really did break through, and he was slapped by that old bastard Third Elder. After fainting for such a long time, he actually directly broke through from the seventh level of the Refinement Realm to the eighth level of the Refinement Realm. This … Isn't this a little too inconceivable?

Su Xing couldn't figure out what was going on. Xiao Qingshan was also confused. Just now, he specially checked Su Xing's entire body, but didn't find anything special about him.

It was inconceivable that a person could absorb the spiritual energy of others to achieve a breakthrough while unconscious.

"Su Xing, your performance in the Faction Competition today was exceptional, and you won first place in this year's competition in one fell swoop. According to the rules of the past years, other than some basic material rewards, you can also make a request. If this condition suits your common sense, then the Faction will try to satisfy you as much as possible."

After Xiao Qingshan carefully checked for any results, he began to converse with Su Xing.

When Su Xing heard this, he didn't seem especially excited.

He slightly smiled and said in an extremely calm manner, "Su Xing doesn't have many requests. I only request that Sect Master restore my position as an Elder and that no one in the sect is allowed to find trouble with me and my disciples."
