Xue Chengxuan pondered for a moment before glancing slightly at Xue Clan’s First Elder. Elder Xue opened his half-squinted eyes and raised his gaze at Pei Mufeng: “Then we will bother Pavilion Master Pei to summon all Foundation Establishment medical cultivators from Xingluo City and Xingluo Pavilion.” His voice is calm, “Before the clan head arrives, I better solve this by myself.”

Pei Mufeng glanced at Meng Qi in silence and nodded slowly.

Elder Xue flicked his sleeves and got up. Although his hair and beard were completely white, his skin was still smooth and ruddy, and his appearance was no different from a middle-aged man in his thirties. The elder was also tall. When he was sitting, it wasn’t prominent, but after he stood up, he was slightly taller than Xue Chengxuan.

“Although this incident happens in Xingluo City, it is clearly aimed at Medical Cultivator Conference, humph.” He snorted coldly. “Since the other party has this intention, we cannot let them go with their way. I also ask Pavilion Master Pei to temporarily blockade Xingluo City’s eastern district. Except for the conference’s attendees, others are forbidden from entering and leaving.”

When these words came out, even Xue Chengxuan was stunned.

Meng Qi’s eyebrow raised slightly. She looked at Elder Xue, wondering why the person made this demand. Xingluo City wasn’t a small town like Qingfeng. This city was even bigger than Fentian City. The Ruyi Inn branch where Meng Qi’s group resided—two streets away from here—was already in the eastern district’s scope. Needless to say, there were many inns, restaurants, and various shops in this populous district; many were owned and ran by ordinary people.

What does First Elder Xue mean?

Pei Mufeng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He asked slowly: “Forbids unrelated people from entering and leaving?”

“Yes.” Elder Xue’s eyes glinted. “Except for people from the Medical Cultivator Conference, other unrelated people are not allowed to appear in the eastern district.”

Pei Mufeng’s eyes were cold, “Including the residents of this city?”

“Including the residents of Xingluo City.”

“No.” Pei Mufeng said, “I can let people clear a courtyard owned by Xingluo Pavilion plus four surrounding guest houses for Miss Xue and other Xue Clan’s people.”

“Not enough!” Elder Xue rebutted coldly, “The enemy is hidden and cunning, and obviously coming prepared. We must prevent a similar incident from happening again.”

“There are no less than several hundreds thousands of ordinary residents in Xingluo City’s eastern district.”

“So what?” Elder Xue’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “Pavilion Master Pei took the initiative to request the Medical Cultivator Conference to be held here, but you cannot even grant this small request?”

“Or, is Pavilion Master just wants to hold the conference in Xingluo City, but doesn’t care about the life and death of us medical cultivators?!”

Seeing the elder became more and more aggressive, Meng Qi felt strange. She glanced at Xue Chengxuan, and found the young man smiled wryly at himself.

Su Junmo stood beside Meng Qi. He held her sleeve and shook it gently.

Pei Mufeng seemed to be unable to refute Elder Xue’s accusation.

The atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.

At this moment, a soft groan came from the bed: “Uh…”
