Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Gong Qingqiu Strikes Back, Slays the Enemy (Seven Updates)
“Heh, that’s all you amount to!”
The gray-haired elder saw that Li Zilong was seriously injured and began to laugh loudly in ridicule.
As for the people of Whitefloat City, their faces turned ashen.
Nishang Palace.
The Palace Master and Xu Yunbing, along with the other female disciples, watched the battle in the sky with solemn expressions.
It seemed that even Li Zilong and Gong Qingqiu were no match; now, their only hope rested with the two on Misty Peak.
Ye Feng and Hu Feifei.
High above.
After gravely wounding Li Zilong, the gray-haired elder laughed three times, feeling that he could now begin a reckless slaughter.
After all, if he had seriously wounded the strongest at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm, who else could oppose him?
But just then, dozens of magical vines extended towards him, forming a special cage that trapped the gray-haired elder inside.
“Eh, it’s you!”
The gray-haired elder saw Gong Qingqiu still casting spells, with a painted scroll world behind her, and the vines were stretching out from the painting.
“Get lost!”
With one move of the “Primordial Heaven Fist Seal”, the gray-haired elder shattered the cage of vines, but through the debris filling the air, he clearly saw Gong Qingqiu forming a sword-gesture with a gesture of drawing back her hand.
“Rip” was heard.
A piercing gray qi surged from behind, causing the gray-haired elder’s hair to stand on end. He hurriedly dodged but still had his entire right arm severed.
“Ah!”
The gray-haired elder cried out in pain, furious and exasperated.
“Missed the mark!” Gong Qingqiu sighed softly.
Initially, she used more than a dozen Middle-Grade Self-Destruct Talismans to distract the gray-haired elder’s attention. Then, she bought time with the “Mystical Spirit Catalogue”.
As for the real killing move, it was the “Primordial Unity Qi”.
Operating under the premise of using the Qi Fighting Technique, the qi surge executed a sneak attack from behind. Alas, the gray-haired elder’s perception was too sharp, and he narrowly avoided the lethal strike.
“Dare to cut off my arm, I’ll make sure to capture you and use you as a Furnace Cauldron!”
The gray-haired elder glared hatefully at Gong Qingqiu, activating the “Primordial Heaven Fist Seal” with one hand and detonating the Primordial Unity Qi’s surge.
Then, he reached out to grab Gong Qingqiu.
“Old fogey, do you really think you can still challenge me?” Gong Qingqiu took a deep breath, and behind her, spiritual energy surged wildly.
“Condensing Origin Seal!”
She formed a gesture with her hands and then interlaced her fingers in a peculiar pattern, summoning an energy seal. Her aura gathered so rapidly that her meridians began to sting with pain.
But soon, a solid, square-shaped treasured seal formed in the air above, devouring the surging spiritual energy behind her.
This was the Fifth-Grade Spell “Condensing Origin Seal” from the Auxiliary Cultivation Method “Solidifying Element Technique”, which increased its power manyfold under the Technique’s enhancement.
“Not good!”
The gray-haired elder realized the danger and quickly formulated a gesture with one hand, employing the “Primordial Heaven Fist Seal” to crash against Gong Qingqiu’s treasured seal.
Crack!
With only one arm and his injuries, the gray-haired elder was far from his peak. On the other hand, Gong Qingqiu had returned to peak condition with the help of Life Spirit Force. After one move, her Condensing Origin Seal shattered the Primordial Heaven Fist Seal and slammed heavily onto the elder’s head.
Bang!
He was sent flying, his body convulsing.
“Die!”
Li Zilong, having caught his breath, holding the broken tip of the Silver Spear, flew from the side and decapitated the gray-haired elder.
A powerful entity at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm was killed on the spot!
Atop Misty Peak.
Ye Feng watched this scene and stroked his chin.
“Not bad at all!”
He began to laugh, giving his praise.
Gong Qingqiu and Li Zilong, one only at the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm and the other at the realm’s peak, weren’t very strong before, but after joining the Misty Sect, learning many powerful spells and auxiliary techniques, they managed to join forces and kill a powerful peak Element Gathering Realm adversary like the gray-haired elder, marking significant progress.
Within Whitefloat City.
After a brief silence, everyone burst into cheers.
“The City Lord is mighty!”
“The City Lord is the most beautiful!”
“Our Zilong War General is invincible!”
The city folk cheered, spreading the news through the streets.
[Sect Prestige Value +17432]
Even those who had not yet truly recognized Misty Sect were convinced by this battle and contributed their prestige points.
[Shared Faith Power +435]
[Shared Faith Power +663]
Ye Feng received a prompt different from the ones before.
“System, what is Shared Faith Power?” Ye Feng asked in surprise.
“Shared Faith Power is the power of faith harvested by all disciples, elders, stewards, spiritual beasts, and others in the Misty Sect, apart from the Sect Leader; the Sect Leader will also obtain a share of it.”
The system explained.
Hearing this, Ye Feng was greatly surprised.
It turned out that he could share the power of faith earned by others, which meant that even if he stayed at Misty Peak every day, he might still gain a substantial amount of faith power.
At first, Ye Feng was astonished.
But upon further thought, the power of faith was just an advanced version of prestige points. Since the disciples could bring prestige to the Sect during their outside cultivation experiences, it wasn’t strange that now, he could share in the faith power.
Above Whitefloat City.
Gong Qingqiu watched as the corpse of the gray-haired elder crashed against the shield and let out a sigh. She admired Li Zilong’s coup de grâce.
If he had not cut off the gray-haired elder’s head, the latter might not be dead.
But now, the gray-haired elder must be thoroughly dead.
“I will return to the Sect and report this matter to the Sect Leader.” Gong Qingqiu picked up the corpse of the gray-haired elder and quickly flew towards Misty Peak.
“I need to heal my injuries.” Li Zilong followed suit.
In front of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.
Ye Feng looked at the body of the gray-haired elder lying on the ground and weighed the identity token he retrieved from the elder’s storage ring, saying, “That’s right, this person is indeed a Great Elder from a branch hall of the Blood Demon Hall, and he came seeking revenge.”
“Blood Demon Hall?”
Gong Qingqiu and Li Zilong were hearing this name for the first time.
“Take a look at this!” Ye Feng placed an ancient book on the table. The two elders looked at it, their pupils contracting.
“Blood Demon Hall, a three-star force, unaffiliated with Mystique Kingdom, its main hall is built deep within a range of spiritually rich mountains and rivers, tens of thousands of miles away from here. On the frontier in the southern part of the Southern River Basin, a branch hall has been established. This branch specializes in establishing subsidiaries like Nishang Palace within the Mystique Kingdom to cultivate Furnace Cauldrons!”
The two of them, reading these records, gradually displayed killing intent.
The fate of Furnace Cauldrons was often miserable.
Therefore, both held no good feelings toward the brutish Blood Demon Hall.
“Sect Leader, does this mean that first, the Elder Wu Wukai from the Blood Demon Hall’s branch was slain by you, and then, the Great Elder of the branch came with five puppets to attempt revenge?”
Gong Qingqiu understood the cause and effect.
“Mhm, it should be so,” confirmed Ye Feng with a nod.
Li Zilong’s face showed worry: “The main hall of the Blood Demon Hall has several Divine Origin Realm Great Powers stationed there. How can our Misty Sect compete?”
Gong Qingqiu, on the other hand, was not that afraid, and instead looked at Ye Feng, saying, “This wife believes that the Sect Leader already has a strategy.”
Ye Feng always appeared very calm.
This gave Gong Qingqiu reason to believe that he had the strength necessary to withstand a Divine Origin Realm Great Power.
Hearing this, Ye Feng seemed calm on the outside, but he couldn’t help but smile wryly inside.
He wanted to say that actually, he couldn’t even defeat Hu Feifei, but to stabilize the people’s hearts, Ye Feng had to look up at the sky and say firmly,
“Meet the enemy with the appropriate response, cover over the problem like soil over water, and if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to bear it. You just focus on developing and being ‘骚’, I’ll handle it.”
“Hmm?”
Gong Qingqiu and Li Zilong exchanged glances, both confused about what “developing” and “being ‘骚'” meant.
But they were not fools and could guess that Ye Feng must have a strategy in place, so they quickly left.
Li Zilong healed his injuries with the Spiritual Spring.
Gong Qingqiu went to Whitefloat City to calm the people’s hearts.
Soon, the matters within Whitefloat City came to an end.
However, thousands of miles away at the edge of the Southern River Basin, beneath a dilapidated temple, a roar that made the heart tremble echoed,
“In a matter of days, we have lost two mighty ones. Just what kind of powerful beings are lying in wait within Whitefloat City?”
“This matter, someone investigate it, thoroughly investigate it!”
An angry, resonant roar that shook the underground depths swept through the area,
It wasn’t long before numerous strong figures swarmed out.
They weren’t setting out to attack, but to gather information.
