A disciple from the Judgment Pavilion confronts Lin Feng, questioning his presence in the mine and demanding proof of his mission. Lin Feng subtly mocks the disciple's understanding of his refinement techniques, further enraging him. As a crowd gathers, the Judgment Pavilion disciple insists it's impossible to refine pills in the unstable environment of the mine, challenging Lin Feng's claim.

A few cultivators in the crowd nodded in agreement, but none of them dared to interfere or speak openly.

Lin Feng was truly amused this time.

"What kind of reasoning is this? You wish to accuse me simply because others aren’t capable of doing what I can do? Is this how the Judgment Pavilion conducts itself? By treating another person’s words as false simply because you are incapable of accomplishing the same thing.."

"YOU-" The disciple nearly lashed out before forcing himself to suppress his anger. "That person you are referring to is the Head Elder of the Alchemy Pavilion. Who the hell are you to question his capabilities.."

He wasn’t the only one who felt this way. The surrounding disciples also felt that Lin Feng’s words had gone a little too far.

He was essentially questioning the attainments of the Head Elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, a figure whom ordinary disciples wouldn’t even dare to speak about lightly.

Yet Lin Feng remained completely indifferent to their reactions.

He shook his head slightly.

"I am merely stating a fact. Oh well, forget about that. Why don’t you simply state the reason for which you are investigating me, and make sure it is an official accusation made under your authority? Otherwise, you are merely wasting my time here.."

His tone remained calm, but there was an unmistakable sharpness beneath those words.

He might not yet understand all the rules of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, but some principles remained the same regardless of the sect or faction.

If a disciple wished to invoke his authority against another disciple, there had to be a proper reason.

The man went quiet upon hearing this.

He couldn’t invoke his authority here.

He knew very well that Lin Feng hadn’t actually violated any sect rule. In fact, even if Lin Feng had entered the mine without any reason, the person who should have been questioned was Sun Xiurong, not Lin Feng.

She was the one in charge of this section of the mine from now on, and she was the one who had permitted Lin Feng to accompany her.

For a moment, his expression became rather unsightly.

"If you want an official reason, then come to the Judgment Pavilion with me.."

Lin Feng’s lips curled up slightly upon hearing that.

The surrounding cultivators were also somewhat baffled.

Anyone could see that this senior disciple didn’t truly have a reason to confront Lin Feng. He was merely trying to find one after the fact.

This wasn’t the first time they had witnessed such a scene. There were always a few disciples who became unruly after gaining authority and didn’t mind using the sect’s laws to create trouble for others.

Lin Feng, however, didn’t bother arguing any further.

He simply turned around and began walking toward the pavilion.

"Stop right there, we are not finished yet.."

The man’s expression darkened as he once again released the pressure of his cultivation, attempting to intimidate Lin Feng into stopping.

Lin Feng didn’t even turn his head.

He continued moving toward the pavilion at an unhurried pace.

"Not listening to someone from the Judgment Pavilion is a crime itself.."

Lin Feng shook his head slightly.

"I think I have listened enough. There are plenty of witnesses here who can attest to that.."

His voice wasn’t loud, yet every cultivator nearby heard it clearly.

The surrounding disciples exchanged glances with one another.

At this point, the matter had already become more than a simple questioning.

This senior wanted to use his authority to force Lin Feng into submission, while Lin Feng was clearly unwilling to yield. Most cultivators would have done otherwise, given the seniority of this disciple and the authority he possessed within the sect.

The disciple gritted his teeth while watching Lin Feng approach the pavilion.

His attempt to intimidate Lin Feng through his cultivation realm and status had completely failed, something he hadn’t expected. With so many disciples witnessing the confrontation, he could already feel his dignity being tarnished.

"I will remember this. Make sure you don’t come out of your peak alone, or else no one will even find your bones.."

The threat arrived through spiritual transmission, carrying an unmistakable trace of killing intent.

Lin Feng merely smiled upon hearing it but didn’t respond.

He had long since passed the stage where threats like these could stir his emotions.

The disciple snorted coldly before turning around and leaving, while the surrounding crowd exchanged glances before gradually dispersing.

Unknown to everyone, including Lin Feng himself, three pairs of eyes were concealed beyond the veil of clouds.

Lin Feng hadn’t paid attention to his surroundings with so many cultivators gathered around him, so he naturally failed to notice their presence.

The three figures watched the entire confrontation with faint interest.

"So this is Lin Feng? I have to say, there wasn’t an ounce of fear on his face throughout the whole ordeal.."

A man with refined features spoke with a faint smile.

He was the Head Elder of the Array Pavilion.

"Everything else aside, I think you should discipline your disciples, Elder Zhao. They have no right to use their authority like that.." Qin Ruoxuan looked at Zhao Tianheng with a slightly amused expression.

Zhao Tianheng shook his head slightly,"He didn’t seem to have gone overboard, and those who get afraid of someone and submit to them based on their authority are deemed to suffer slightly.."

Qin Ruoxuan had expected such a response from him.

"Forget it, let’s inspect the mine... the seal seems to have weakened somewhere.."

...

Lin Feng entered the pavilion without any obstruction. The entrance wasn’t completely sealed, and after stepping inside, he went directly toward the chamber on the upper floor before knocking on the door.

Sun Xiurong, who had been meditating to recover her spiritual sense, opened her eyes. After confirming his presence, she waved her hand and opened the door.

"You came earlier than I had thought, junior brother. Did you find anything?"

The area of the mine extending up to the sealed region had already been thoroughly explored, so she doubted he could have discovered anything substantial.

However, she still asked.

She had witnessed his strange vision technique herself. Given that it could even perceive the invisible aura that was impossible to see through, perhaps he had truly discovered something..
