Chapter 351: Chapter 351: The Imprisoned Monster and the Prophet (One More)
Ye Feng had never expected that the Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect and the Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect could be the same person.
If he had not found the opportunity to approach the other party today and released a wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy to observe, he would have remained in the dark.
With shock, Ye Feng continued to watch the scene.
Above the twelve towers, each was connected to an iron chain, which suppressed a Meat Mountain Monster that was a hundred meters tall at the center.
Above the head of the Meat Mountain Monster, there were numerous dense webs trapping a person who looked exactly like the Prophet described in the mural, even the wooden staff had been tossed aside, sealed away.
“There’s actually a Demon King Level Meat Mountain Monster suppressed here, and a Prophet whose cultivation level is unclear!”
Upon seeing these scenes, Ye Feng’s pupils constricted.
“You are here.” At this moment, a figure clad in a black cloak and wearing a mask appeared.
This was the thirteenth Spirit Sea Realm expert in the underground space!
“Is it the former Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect?”
Ye Feng found that this person resembled the former Sect Master projected by Lan Die and decisively guessed the other’s identity.
“Ding, side mission completed!”
At this time, a system notification sounded in Ye Feng’s mind, which surprised him greatly.
Completed just like that?
It seemed a bit… rushed!
Could this be the benefit of wearing women’s clothes?
Thinking of this, Ye Feng’s expression grew increasingly strange.
“Ding, congratulations to the Sect Leader for completing the side mission, you have received 10 Wonderful Transformation Spirit Pills, Fifth Grade Magic ‘Condensing Origin Seal’, and 1 Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact Purple Cloud Treasure Garment.”
The system issued a notification.
But Ye Feng didn’t concern himself with these items, simply placing them into the System Space and continuing to observe.
He wanted to know what exactly the Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect wanted to say to the former Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect.
At this moment, in the underground space.
The former Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect stood on the ground with his hands behind his back, emitting an extremely powerful presence, truly an expert of a high level in the Spirit Sea Realm.
As for the twelve Spirit Sea Realm experts, most were ordinary Spirit Sea Realm, and Ye Feng guessed that they were probably members of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s Supreme Elder Council.
“A powerful force with thirteen Spirit Sea Realm experts, among them, one almost at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, they’re quite formidable!”
Ye Feng’s expression gradually became solemn.
“Father, do you have any further instructions?” At this moment, the Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect spoke a sentence that greatly shocked Ye Feng.
The former Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, was actually the Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect’s father?
Was the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect a family business?
Ye Feng grew increasingly astonished.
“Recently, a Black Robe Protector of our sect was killed, have you found any leads?” the former Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect said gravely.
“Not yet, but this son has already sent out the disciples of our sect to infiltrate the Misty Sect as undercover agents; they should be able to find out something.” The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect reported with his head lowered.
“If the Misty Sect becomes aware of our Demon Sect’s purpose, they must be eliminated!” the former Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect said sternly.
“Yes!” The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect quickly nodded.
The watching Ye Feng felt a chill all over his body.
It seemed that he would have to have Lan Die spread some false information to confuse them.
“Or, should we say that Brother Flathead likes to fight and so, by a fluke, he entered that mountain range, hence he ended up in a big fight with a protector of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect and killed him?”
“Hmm, this reason seems plausible.”
Ye Feng nodded to himself.
For the time being, the Misty Sect was not suitable to confront the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect head-on.
The inside story of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect was almost clear, but whether they had allies, and the strength of those allies, that was another matter.
“It’s mainly because the sect’s array is not strong enough.”
Ye Feng muttered.
If the Sect Protection Array “Black and White Chessboard” could resist a Great Power from the Divine Origin Realm, he wouldn’t have to be so worried.
For now, holding the forces back is mainly due to the fear of being stealthily attacked at home.
“Father, how much longer until our plan can be officially initiated? What should we do if someone discovers the secret of the Demon-locking Tower and destroys it?” The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect hastily asked.
“At this stage, it wouldn’t matter much if an ordinary Demon-locking Tower were destroyed. After all, our arrangements have been in place for three hundred years, and everything that needed to be done has been done.”
Having said this, the elder Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect turned around, glanced at the imprisoned Meat Mountain Monster and Prophet, and revealed a cold smirk on his face.
Three hundred years ago, he discovered this Prophet from the Outer Realm, along with its Protector, the Meat Mountain Monster, and after a fierce battle, he forcefully suppressed both of them.
As of today, the old Sect Master had already acquired enough knowledge and heritage.
He himself had also become a Prophet.
However, he still lacked a powerful enough Meat Mountain Monster to serve as his Protector, which prevented him from walking in the open with confidence.
“Father, have you really become a Prophet?” At this moment, the Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect asked again.
The old Sect Master laughed and said, “I completed the final inheritance decades ago, bathing in the countless rain of light to become a great Prophet!”
As he spoke, he suddenly lifted his mask and cloak.
There was an old man with a gleaming bald head—even his eyebrows were nearly gone, but there was a strange glimmer flickering in his eyes.
“Father, your hair…”
The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect was stunned. Could it be that he too would become bald in the future?
This thought made him shiver all over.
“This is the price of becoming a Prophet!”
The old Sect Master stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze distant and voice heavy, “If you want to know how strong a Prophet is, just look at their hair—the less hair they have, the more senior they are. Therefore, if you encounter a Prophet with hair, don’t be afraid, they’re just novices. But if you run into a Prophet who is completely hairless, then run immediately, and don’t look back!”
The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect was shocked.
So the strength of a Prophet is determined by their hair!
Good, I understand!
He clenched his fists, grasping this fact.
Within a certain valley.
Souhun Zhenren, Zhu Yongfu, had captured another Demonic Beast, extracting its Evil Qi for several divinations.
“Heh heh, not bad, no dangers for the next few days, and my opportunities are on the rise, excellent!”
He looked at the hair that had fallen on the ground and quickly picked it up, knowing it to be the best source for a wig.
“Heh heh, the fewer hairs a member of the Prophet Clan has, the stronger they are, so I can wear a wig, and others will think I’m weak. Then, I can pretend to be a pig to eat tigers, wonderful!”
Zhu Yongfu patted his plump belly and started to laugh.
Deep beneath the Black Stone Wasteland.
The Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect put his mask and hat back on, took a wooden staff refined from Soul Nurturing Wood, and said, “Alright, go back for now. Keep in touch with our allies to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
“Yes.” The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect withdrew.
“As expected, there are allies!” Ye Feng tensed up inside and quickly controlled a wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy to fall to the ground, continuing to monitor the imagery of the Underground Space.
The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect hovered mid-air, reaching out and pressing on the forehead of the imprisoned Prophet, “What a pity, the divination shows that this Prophet cannot be killed for now.”
He turned around and addressed the twelve Spirit Sea Realm Supreme Elders, “You continue to guard this place, ensure that nothing goes wrong. I have divined an opportunity and am about to make a journey.”
“Yes!”
All twelve Supreme Elders nodded simultaneously.
Puff!
Just at that moment, the strength of the Wind Element Spirit Energy was exhausted, dissipating into the air.
The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect was surprised and looked around, but he didn’t detect anything unusual.
“Strange, I feel uneasy. I shall divine again.”
He took out a Jade Vial, extracted a hundred strands of Evil Qi, and constructed a small altar on the ground, adding the Evil Qi into it.
Afterward, the old Sect Master saw an image.
The person in the vision was the girl “Bi Lian’er” who was sitting cross-legged within the headquarters of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, clothed in a goose-yellow long skirt.
“Who is this person? Does she have any issues?”
The old Sect Master frowned and headed towards the Sect headquarters, ready to investigate further.
