Chu Qingcheng's combat prowess had surpassed the limits of what Qu Mei could bear.

Even Xu Fei had died at the hands of Chu Qingcheng. Was there even a need for Qu Mei, whose strength was inferior to Xu Fei's, to continue this battle?

This was the first thought that popped into the minds of the three people of the Ning family who were watching the fight. It was even a question that Qu Mei herself subconsciously questioned.

However, a mere instant later, Qu Mei dispelled her doubts because, from the shock that Chu Qingcheng had brought to her, Qu Mei, who had awoken from her stupor, discovered something … Chu Qingcheng's countenance turned extremely unsightly. In fact, beads of sweat could already be seen dripping down her pure white forehead!

What did this mean?

It meant that the Blue Lotus Art of fleeing from the north had consumed most of Chu Qingcheng's spiritual energy. In fact, she had consumed almost all of it! "Huu!"

Thus, the current Chu Qingcheng should be in an exceptionally weak state, just like the situation back in Eastsea City when the Lan family had used Thick Earth Return to defeat Han Poison!

As she thought of this, Qu Mei slowly stood up and placed the huge saber on her shoulder. Her charming face once again revealed her signature smile, "Grand Princess, I'm guessing that your current Sky Mansion Qi Sea is completely empty, right?"

Chu Qingcheng didn't reply to Qu Mei's question. She was only trying her best to buy time to adjust her chaotic breathing. The amount of spiritual energy she could recover was the same as well.

You don't have the strength to fight me, and I don't want to fight you to the death. How about we both stand here and wait for the other two battles to end? Qu Mei suggested.

In any case, Zhou Yu currently held the absolute advantage. Qu Mei was not in a hurry, so what did the lives of the three Xiang Family members have to do with Qu Mei?

She did not even reveal the slightest bit of grief at Xu Fei's death, much less caring about her life for her family and Jing San!

She only had one mission, and that was to delay Chu Qingcheng without killing or severely injuring her. But now, standing here and watching the other two battles was the best choice!

Chu Qingcheng still didn't reply to this seemingly good suggestion.

However, the Ning Family couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Qu Mei, what are you doing? Since when did the TianChu Martial Academy stand on the same front as the Grand Princess and the Fourth Prince? I remember that the one He Kunlun supported was His Highness, the Crown Prince, right? " Ning Rong curled his lips as he coldly laughed, "Now is the best time to defeat Chu Qingcheng. Are you prepared to give up?"

Although Ning Rong was impulsive and easily angered, how could he be a fool if he could climb up to the position of the Ning Family's backbone?

Perhaps Ning Rong hadn't seen through the conspiracy between the Three Futures and the Confucianism, or perhaps Ning Rong had seen through it, but he hadn't said it. However, Ning Rong's words at this moment were like a provocation to Qu Mei and Chu Qingcheng, asking them to have a fight to the death!

Of course, Ning Rong understood that once Chu Qingcheng fought with Qu Mei in her current state, the chances of losing were very high. However, in the end, no matter who died, the Ning Family wouldn't suffer any losses.

"Ning Rong, since when has it been your Ning Family's turn to interfere in the matters of the TianChu Martial Academy?" Qu Mei tilted her head and stared coldly at Ning Rong. Her charming demeanor was completely gone, replaced by a ghastly coldness. "The Xiang Family and I have already begun to take action, but what about your Ning Family? Are you going to stand here and watch the show? "

How could she not know about Ning Rong's provocation and the scheming Qu Mei?

"Humph!" Ning Rong snorted coldly. His voice was filled with anger, but he suppressed it. He glared at Qu Mei, turned around, and led the two experts from the Ning family into the ancient palace.

The target of the Ning Clan was neither the Shadow Army nor Chu Qingcheng, but Xia Xinghe!
