Chapter 121: Rising Conflict

"Master Shi Jiong, you are back!"

The moment a servant saw Shi Jiong, he hurried over to greet him.

"Yes, I am back. Do you have any free accommodations here? Arrange for my brother!" Shi Jiong nodded his head and said to the servant.

"Yes, yes! There is also a good courtyard. Since you are the brother of Master Shi Jiong, you can naturally stay here!" The servant hastily nodded his head and said.

"This is a property of our Divine Armor Sect so I often come here." Shi Jiong said to Qin Feng which really surprised him. Qin Feng never expected that this big restaurant where participants of the Cold Winter Small Conference were staying was actually a property of the Divine Armor Sect.

"Thank you, Brother Shi!" Qin Feng nodded and said gratefully. He was really grateful to Shi Jiong as without Shi Jiong's help, it would have been impossible for him to find a place to stay in the Cold Winter City.

"What is there to thank? We are all friends!" Shi Jiong laughed and said.

Shi Jiong was a straightforward person which really suited Qin Feng's personality so Qin Feng already accepted Shi Jiong as his friend.

After entering the restaurant, Qin Feng saw a small manor on the right side.

It was obvious that this manor had been meticulously carved. There were pavilions everywhere. Celestial flowers and exotic plants could be seen everywhere in the fake mountain pavilion.

There were even small waterfalls flowing down. The Spirit Energy here was also quite dense. It was truly an extraordinary place to stay and cultivate.

In front of a huge pavilion, a group of people was conversing with each other. When they saw Shi Jiong, a young man immediately smiled.

"Hahaha, as I said, Brother Shi is very fast. Sure enough, he managed to get rid of Di Kui in such a short period of time!"

This young man had an imposing appearance and his body carried a threatening aura. His strength was extraordinary as he had already reached the Middle Stage of the Profound Spirit Realm. In the Heavenly River Sect, he could be considered a very powerful core disciple. Well, this young man should really be a core disciple of some sect.

The young man had a smile on his face and he gave off a pure aura. It was very easy for people to have a favorable impression of him.

"Brother Wu, you are here to slap me in the face again." Shi Jiong said with a laugh, then explained to Qin Feng in a low voice: "This man is called Wu Long, the descendant of the Shattering Cloud Sword Sect. His sword skills are not weak at all!"

Qin Feng nodded and looked at Wu Long again. The sharp sword Qi on Wu Long's body had already given an explanation.

"That Di Kui is also unlucky. He actually appeared in this place and killed the disciples of your Divine Armor Sect. How dare he swaggers his way out? He really doesn't know whom he could offend and whom he could not!"

A chubby man with a round face said with a smile on his face. Every time he spoke, a smile would appear on his face. Obviously, he was a cheerful man. His eyes were extremely small because of his round and fat face.

However, although his eyes were small, they had a metallic texture when they opened and closed as if they could pierce through a person's body.

Looking at this round and plump man, Shi Jiong didn't say anything but only silently snapped.

However, the expression on his face was quite relaxed. Clearly, everyone was already very familiar with each other.

At the same time, Shi Jiong again told Ye Xiao that this chubby man was actually a disciple of the Treasure Sect.

"Treasure Sect?"

Qin Feng looked at this slightly fat man once again. The Treasure Sect was a strange sect. Although the combat strength of the disciples was not very strong, their strange attacks were enough to make up for this.

"This is the Jiu Yan. Although his cultivation base is only at the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm, he is one of the main organizers of this Cold Winter Small Conference!"

Shi Jiong introduced in a low voice to Qin Feng.

"This is?"

Wu Long and the Jiu Yan had noticed Qin Feng a long time ago. They knew that the disciples of the Divine Armor Sect were very united and had a harmonious relationship with each other. However, it was difficult for other people to win the friendship of the disciples of the Divine Armor Sect.

However, judging from Shi Jiong's attitude towards Qin Feng, it was obvious that Shi Jiong attached a lot of importance to Qin Feng. Naturally, it was a little strange.

"Hahaha! This is my brother, Qin Feng. And you have to believe me when I say he is also a genius Martial Warrior!"

Shi Jiong introduced Qin Feng to Wu Long and Jiu Yan.

"Hello!" Qin Feng said to Wu Long and Jiu Yan with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, since you are Brother Shi's brother, then you are our brother!"

Wu Long and Jiu Yan nodded at Qin Feng and said. However, even with Shi Jiong's introduction, they didn't really attach any importance to Qin Feng. After all, Qin Feng was merely a martial warrior at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Yes, it was a different matter that the age difference between all the people who have come here to participate in the Cold Winter Small Conference and Qin Feng was quite big. Qin Feng was only around seventeen years old while others were twenty plus.

But this matter was subconsciously ignored by those people.

This was also the reason why they didn't attach any importance to Qin Feng, after all, they had seen martial warriors with the same cultivation base as him too many times.

"Hmph! He is just an ordinary Middle Stage Golden Core Realm martial warrior. What kind of genius Martial Warrior is he? If these words are spread out, I am not afraid that the wind will blow my tongue!"

Right at this moment, an untimely cold snort and unpleasant voice were heard.

After that, a group of people slowly walked over. The leader of the group had a cold expression on his face and his eyes were filled with a trace of coldness when he looked at Qin Feng.

"It's him?" Qin Feng had a strange expression on his face when he saw this man.

Because this man was none other than the Tie Xiongshi who had competed with Qin Feng for that strange wooden sculpture.

"Here I was thinking who have such a stinky mouth? It turns out to be the Divine Body Sect's Tie Xiongshi."

When Shi Jiong saw Tie Xiongshi, his facial expression changed as he said with disgust in his eyes. What he said was extremely ironic.

"Humph! That's better than those people who only know how to play with broken metals all day long. Those who don't know will think that they are just a bunch of immature children!"

Tie Xiongshi didn't give in at all. He looked at Shi Jiong and said with a sneer.

"If that's the case, I would like to see if you can block these broken metals!" Shi Jiong suddenly stepped forward and a murderous aura quickly erupted.

"What? Do you really think I am afraid of you?"

Tie Xiongshi didn't show any signs of weakness as he said with a cold smile. A golden light shot out from the hands, ready to fight with Shi Jiong who was at the Early Stage of the Profound Spirit Realm while he himself was only at the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm.

"I say, both of you, give me some face at least! This Cold Winter Small Conference has not even started yet!"

At this moment, Jiu Yan could not help but smile bitterly and say to the two of them.

From the attitude of Shi Jiong and Tie Xiongshi, it seemed that these two had accumulated resentment for a long time. Moreover, this grudge seemed to be quite serious. It was just that this time, Tie Xiongshi was using Qin Feng as a catalyst.

"Humph! I, Tie Xiongshi, naturally have to give a face to Senior Brother Jiu Yan. However, this Cold Winter Small Conference is not an ordinary gathering. It is a kind of sparring session on the martial path. It is not something that anyone can enter. For example, with this kid's identity and strength, how can he be qualified to enter our circle?"

Tie Xiongshi seemed to agree with Jiu Yan but he suddenly changed the topic and shifted his attention to Qin Feng, attacking him indirectly.

Qin Feng had been prepared for Tie Xiongshi to make things difficult for him. Just as he was about to speak, a burst of cold laughter was heard.

"If he isn't qualified enough, you are even less qualified!"
