Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Sect Master Ye’s Omnipotent Foresight, Reputation Revered by Tens of Thousands
Thump, thump!
Han Yi and Han Er were kicked in the abdomen by Ye Feng, spewing blood violently. Ye Feng then pierced their sea of consciousness with the power of Heroic Spirits, effectively crippling their cultivation.
Ye Feng did not intend to kill them just yet.
By doing so, first, it would have been too easy on the two of them; second, because their memories contained a lot of valuable information worth extracting. It wouldn’t be too late to erase them after reaping the last of their usefulness.
“Even if you don’t kill us, you’ll never get anything out of us!”
Han Yi scoffed with a cold laugh.
Gazing towards the sky, his face took on a tragic expression as he said, “Divine Spirits of the Divine Race, Han Yi has failed the mission and now goes to meet death!”
The next moment, his eyes suddenly became lifeless, and he fell lifelessly to the ground.
“Eh?”
Ye Feng quickly expended a strand of Wind Element Spirit Energy to search within Han Yi’s body, only to find that the man’s sea of consciousness had a special spirit insect hidden deep within, capable of self-destructing at critical moments.
With this, Han Yi perished.
“I don’t want to die… wuuh!”
Seeing the tragic state of Han Yi, Han Er cried and wailed. The next moment, the spirit insect in his own sea of consciousness exploded too, taking Han Er’s life along with it.
Both of their spirit insects were controlled by Han Yi.
Should Han Yi wish to kill Han Er, all it took was triggering the spirit insect’s self-destruction.
This was precisely why Han Er was extremely wary of Han Yi.
“They’re both dead?”
Ye Feng was speechless.
It seemed difficult to capture anyone alive!
He flicked his finger and blasted both bodies into dust, then expended another strand of Wind Element Spirit Energy to burn the ashes completely, feeling relieved as he left the scene.
After all, he had already obtained the storage rings of the two, which contained many items for him to slowly examine later.
It wasn’t long before Ye Feng returned to County King City.
Scanning the area, he discovered that Glaze King Xu Renshan, who had previously been hiding in the center of the city, had run off without a trace, likely fearing retribution from Ye Feng come autumn.
“Heh! Glaze King, a coward who fears death.”
Ye Feng scoffed mockingly. As he looked at Hu Feifei, who had returned to normal, he noticed her hugging a green crystal core the size of a head, munching on it while muttering “tasty” and “delicious”.
This was the core of the Vine Giant.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 40%]
Seeing the upgrade energy at this stage, Ye Feng’s eyes brightened. After this battle, not only had the energy not decreased, it had actually increased by a net 4%, which was an unexpected joy.
With 40% upgrade energy, Hu Feifei could use the Fourth Combat Form four times, equivalent to getting four additional chances for a Divine Origin Realm to take action.
This was good news for Misty Sect.
“Thank you, Sect Master Ye!”
At this moment, everyone knelt on the ground and voiced their thanks in unison, loud and thunderous as their voices shattered the clouds in the sky.
Hearing this, Ye Feng gestured with his hand.
“Everyone, this Sect Leader just happened to be here, encountering the invasion of Outer Realm Demon Fiends. How could I simply look on and do nothing? Please, get up!”
With that said, Ye Feng glanced in the direction of Mystique Capital.
Many cultivators looked over as well, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. However, they quickly realized something.
“Hmph!”
Someone uttered a cold snort.
“That Glaze King used to bully others by throwing his weight around, but now that Demon Fiends had invaded, he’s the one who ran away the fastest, without a trace.”
“This man is just so; it’s not only him, but his backing Xu Family is also no good—quite notorious in the Royal Capital.”
“I really want to feed the Glaze King to the Demon Fiends!”
Many cultivators cursed angrily.
“Sect Master Ye, on behalf of the billions of living beings in County King City, I, Shu Qianjun, the Commandery Prince, extend our gratitude for all that your Sect has contributed. At the moment, I am in a critical phase of breaking through my cultivation level, unable to leave. My hospitality has been lacking—please forgive me, Sect Master Ye.”
From the center of County King City, a robust voice sounded, clearing the clouds above and leaving the sky cloudless and bright.
The warm sun shone down, gradually dispersing the gloom in everyone’s hearts.
Ye Feng looked toward the County King’s Mansion in the center of the city.
Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun was there.
Ye Feng said, “Prince, focus on your breakthrough, and thank you for before.”
This was him thanking the Commandery Prince for the earlier warning about the whereabouts of Han Yi and Han Er, without which Ye Feng might not have been able to capture the two men.
“No need for thanks,” the Commandery Prince replied.
Hearing this, people looked at each other, unaware of what Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun and Ye Feng were referring to.
Ye Feng, accompanied by Hu Feifei, landed on the Spirit Snake Flying Boat, under the envious and admiring gazes of his Disciples.
“Protector Hu Feifei is too strong!”
“She actually managed to suppress the Divine Origin Realm!”
“Do you think the Sect Leader is even stronger?”
“Is that even a question? Sect Leader is definitely stronger than Protector Hu Feifei!”
The disciples whispered among themselves.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng fell silent.
He wanted to say, don’t praise me too much. In fact, if it really came down to fighting, I am currently no match for Hu Feifei.
At most, he could battle with Hu Feifei in her normal state.
Among the crowd.
Mo Ying watched Ye Feng and Hu Feifei, and her heart relaxed.
“So the protector also has the power of the Divine Origin Realm. With this, even if the seal of our Ancient Soul Clan is accidentally broken, we still have the power to fight… Of course, our clan’s seal is very strong. It should hold for at least another ten or a hundred years. By then, just by myself, I should be able to suppress the Underground Cavern Alien Race.”
Mo Ying thought to herself.
Whoosh whoosh!
Spirit Sea Realm experts like Liu Ming, Mo Wenshi, Ancestor Ning from the Top Ten Noble Families, and the Ten Great War Kings from the County King’s Mansion arrived airborne.
“Sect Master Ye, thank you!”
“The kindness of saving our lives must be repaid like a spring. From today onwards, our Ning Family owes Misty Sect a great favor.”
“Same for me!”
The cultivator experts on site expressed their thanks.
If it hadn’t been for Ye Feng and Hu Feifei stepping in, they would have perished under the Vine Giant’s 700-fathom giant sword.
“Everyone’s too kind!”
Ye Feng bowed his hands, “I, as the Sect Leader, brought the disciples of the Sect early to attend the Demon Slaying Festival. Little did we know, we would encounter this incident. It’s quite the coincidence!”
Ye Feng felt that he had to thank the mysterious Commandery Princess for this incident.
If it weren’t for her invitation, he wouldn’t have set out several days early, nor would he have happened upon this event.
Therefore, the credit for this incident also belonged to the Commandery Princess.
“Sect Master Ye is too modest. You must have foreseen the calamity of the Outer Realm Demon Fiend descending upon County King City, which is why you set out early.”
“Yes, indeed!”
The crowd didn’t believe it was a coincidence.
Normally, the various Sects attending the Demon Slaying Festival would arrive the day before it started.
Someone like Ye Feng, who arrived several days early, was almost unheard of.
“It really is a coincidence!” Ye Feng said, exasperated.
Can’t these people’s imaginations be a bit less rich?
“By the way, the city has experienced a great battle. Is there any place where we, Misty Sect, can help?” Ye Feng looked at the shattered city walls below and discovered that at least a million people had fallen in the battle, which was truly tragic.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression became solemn.
“The city has suffered a catastrophe and indeed needs swift repair and reassurance for the citizens. Moreover, the Demon Slaying Festival is in just a few days, leaving us with very little time.”
A War King from the County King’s Mansion sighed.
“I can help!”
Eldest Senior Brother Shi Lei was the first to stand out, “Elders, junior Shi Lei has some experience in building cities, and can be of assistance.”
“I am willing to contribute as well.” Huo Yunjie stood out.
“Us too!” Long Tianxing, Qiao Jiaxi, Li Jiaojiao, Wang Ping’an, and others all stood up to volunteer.
“Thank you, everyone!”
The powerful figures of County King City were somewhat moved.
Quickly, the disciples formed groups of five and joined the efforts to repair the damaged streets of County King City.
As for Ye Feng, he has been settled in a secluded courtyard near the Sect Main Hall.
Apart from Ye Feng, Gong Qingqiu, Li Zilong, and others had also gone out to assist the Top Ten Noble Families and Top Hundred Sects in repairing the damaged County King City.
During this time, Shi Lei’s architectural talent astonished many cultivators, who looked at him with admiration.
With everyone’s joint efforts, the repair work progressed swiftly.
Meanwhile, the news of the battle in County King City spread like a terrifying storm, quickly sweeping through the entire Southern River Basin.
Even other regions of the Mystique Kingdom gradually received the news.
Learning that the Protector of Misty Sect had such terrifying strength, countless cultivators were astonished and disbelieving.
…
The next morning.
Ye Feng woke up and immediately heard the System’s notification.
“Ding, congratulations on the Sect Prestige Value breaking through ten million, obtaining a special gift package ×1, the Spirit Beast Pavilion is promoted to the sixth rank!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately became spirited.
