Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Sect Master Ye, Do You Think I Still Have a Chance?
“`
“So, this is the function of the Demon Emperor Halo!”
Ye Feng looked at the scene, blinked, and then burst out laughing.
He had originally just thought of giving it a try, transferring the Demon Emperor Halo to Brother Flathead from a distance.
Unexpectedly, after merging with the halo, it could actually unleash a bloodline suppression comparable to that of a top Demon Emperor, making all demonic beasts within a thousand miles kneel and passively contribute a portion of their Demon Elemental Force.
Leveraging this power, Brother Flathead temporarily advanced to the middle rank of Demon King.
With one stomp, he crushed the Vice Temple Master.
“Saved another fifty middle-grade Spirit Stones… hehe, big profit!”
Ye Feng chuckled to himself.
If Brother Flathead and Lao Song had not prevailed, he would have to use the Spatial Compass to perform instantaneous movement a hundred times, returning to Misty Sect.
But now, the crisis was averted, and he did not need to make a move.
Fuyun Gloomy Forest.
Brother Flathead lifted his foot, looking disdainfully at the shattered Blood Demon Hall Branch Master on the ground, snorting hot air from his nose.
Boom!
It shot up to the sky, returning to the Spirit Beasts Platform.
“Wow-ho!”
Brother Flathead roared up at the sky.
The intense sound waves quickly spread out, shaking hundreds of miles around, even causing the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch, standing at the entrance of his cave dwelling with his dual cultivation companions in the Nanlu Mountain Range, to tremble with fear.
“How… how terrifying!”
The several dual cultivation companions trembled all over.
“Ladies, do not be afraid, that is my Brother Flathead!”
The Thousand Faces Demon Monarch had witnessed the entire battle that night and was extremely shocked by Brother Flathead’s sudden increase in strength and his suppression of the Vice Temple Master.
However, Brother Flathead was ultimately on their side.
Thinking this, the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch placed his hands on his hips and said, “Hehe, worthy of being my big brother, I definitely need to lick him when I have the chance!”
Upon hearing this, the several dual cultivation companions immediately showed a look of disdain.
At the top of Misty Peak.
Lao Song withdrew all his vines and, observing Brother Flathead radiating a halo all over his body, realized that his transformation was indeed enormous.
It was not just in appearance, but more so in strength.
Even the Blood Demon Hall Branch Master, strong as a triple peak expert of the Spirit Sea Realm, was crushed underfoot without any power to fight back.
“However, this person was already severely injured by the Black and White Chessboard. It’s quite normal for him to be no match for the formidable Brother Flathead,” Lao Song thought to himself.
He looked at the hazy Black and White Chessboard in the sky and saw that the Sect Protection Array had already developed fine cracks, with only thirty percent of its power remaining.
“Go, guard the four great peaks of our Misty Sect.”
Lao Song swung his vines and commanded his nine Armored Guardians to scatter around, strictly preventing enemies from invading.
Whitefloat City.
Many cultivators stood suspended in the air, looking at Brother Flathead on the Spirit Beasts Platform with fierce momentum, as if they were seeing a peerless Demon Emperor, feeling an immense increase in pressure. Even though they were more than ten miles away, they almost knelt down on the spot.
Bang!
Brother Flathead, seeing that there was nobody around to fight, lay down on the ground out of sheer boredom and fell asleep.
County King’s Manor.
Ye Feng did not recall the Demon Emperor Halo.
Now that they were not at Misty Sect, Brother Flathead could maintain his strength at the middle rank of Demon King for a while thanks to the Demon Emperor Halo.
This was good news for Misty Sect.
[Power of Faith +2414]
Ye Feng received a notification from the System.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and with a flick of his finger, he dispersed the projection on the wall of the banquet hall, also putting away the Heaven-Asking Mirror.
The onlookers still maintained the motion of looking up at the wall, silent for a long time.
After a while.
Long Tianxing almost leaped onto the table and exclaimed, “As expected of Brother Flathead, even I did not know he hid such a terrifying talent. The feeling he gives off is like he’s transformed into a peerless Demon Emperor.”
“`
“Yes, it’s too powerful. A Spirit Sea Realm expert actually got crushed by a foot, powerless to resist, it’s simply terrifying,” Shi Lei exclaimed in astonishment.
As a senior disciple, he had witnessed the entire process of Brother Flathead’s “assault” on Misty Peak.
But at that time, Brother Flathead was not as strong. He was often kicked down the mountain by Ye Feng and would then rush back up, fuming with anger.
Compared to last year’s situation, Brother Flathead now seemed like a divine spirit!
“Ladies and gentlemen, just now the vice temple master of Blood Demon Hall launched an attack on our Misty Sect. However, Brother Flathead has already slain him. Continue the music, continue the dance!”
Ye Feng raised his wine cup and shouted to the maids who were frozen in place.
“Yes!”
The maids snapped back to reality and hurried to continue scattering flowers and playing music. Several young women with impressive figures, wearing translucent silk long skirts, danced gracefully.
At the main seat.
Shu Hongyu picked up her cup, realizing that the Misty Sect was truly inscrutable.
Even in the absence of Ye Feng and Hu Feifei, within the Sect, there still lurked such terrifying Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.
Moreover, the scene with the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine being able to condense nine middle-rank Demon General level Armored Guardians was also astonishingly powerful.
“It really is a powerful Sect!”
Shu Hongyu downed a glass of wine and then said softly, “Sect Master Ye, you may not yet know the details of this demon-slaying gala, right?”
“Isn’t it just about slaying demons?” Ye Feng countered.
In his view, the demon-slaying gala in County King City was supposed to be a group encircling and suppressing a Demonic Beast that had caused much harm.
Or perhaps, a contest amongst the various Sects.
“It’s about slaying demons, that’s right. However, the demons are not the usual ones we see on the surface, they come from the Underground Cavern World of the Foreign Clan!”
Shu Hongyu revealed extremely important news.
At her words, Mo Ying’s hand, holding a wine cup, trembled slightly.
She didn’t speak but looked towards Ye Feng.
The last time, upon her return from the Ancient Soul Clan, Mo Ying had mentioned the Underground Cavern Alien Race to Ye Feng.
Thus, meeting Mo Ying’s gaze, Ye Feng understood her intention and turned to Shu Hongyu, asking, “Underground Cavern Alien Race? What kind of Foreign Clan could it be? Surely not those ancient beings from the deep underground caverns?”
“Yes,” Shu Hongyu nodded affirmatively.
Hearing this, Ye Feng and Mo Ying exchanged a look, a hint of solemnity in their eyes.
According to the Great Priest of the Ancient Soul Clan, the King of the Underground Cavern Alien Race was a powerful being at the level of the Divine Origin Realm. If the Foreign Clan that Shu Hongyu spoke of were of the same kind, then the problem could be serious.
In case a Great Power of the Divine Origin Realm from the Underground Cavern Alien Race appeared, the Southern River Basin could face significant danger.
“Sect Master Ye, why do you look so serious? Could it be that you are worried?” Shu Hongyu put down her wine cup and asked softly.
“What’s the origin of this Underground Cavern Alien Race?” Ye Feng inquired.
The disciples also put down their wine cups and all turned to look at Shu Hongyu.
They were all unfamiliar with the Underground Cavern Alien Race.
“The Underground Cavern Alien Race has an ancient and lengthy origin. It is said that even before County King City was established on this fertile land, there were ancient Foreign Clans lurking beneath it. However, those from the Underground Cavern Alien Race are not very powerful. At most, they are at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm, not much of a threat.”
Shu Hongyu’s tone then shifted, “Of course, they are not a threat relative to our County King City, but if these Underground Cavern Aliens were to roam to other regions of the Southern River Basin, they could also pose danger.”
“Why not exterminate these Underground Cavern Alien Races directly?” Ye Feng asked.
Upon hearing that the highest level of the Underground Cavern Alien Race was merely the peak of the Element Gathering Realm, he was slightly relieved.
“You can’t kill them all.”
Shu Hongyu shook her head. “Sect Master Ye might not be aware that the Underground Cavern Alien Race exists in a distant underground world connected to an ancient battlefield underneath County King City. However, the spatial doorway is limited in capacity and only allows Demon Generals and Demon Soldiers to pass through, and it happens once every ten years.”
At this, Ye Feng had an insight.
No wonder the demon-slaying gala was held every ten years. It turned out to coincide with the opening cycle of the Underground Cavern’s spatial doorway.
Shu Hongyu continued to explain, “Because the Underground Cavern Alien Race is not strong and can be easily slaughtered by the mighty ones from the County King City, they simply turned it into a demon-slaying gala to train the disciples from the various great Sects of the Southern River Basin.”
“Now that you mention it, I finally understand,” Ye Feng expressed with a look of realization.
The disciples of Misty Sect also understood the reason for the demon-slaying gala now. They sat at their seats and started chatting leisurely.
Before long, the banquet ended.
Shu Hongyu put her veil back on and walked beside Ye Feng, escorting him and his group out of County King’s Manor.
After a moment of silence, Shu Hongyu mustered her courage, lifted her head, and looked earnestly at the divinely handsome Ye Feng beside her:
“Sect Master Ye, do you think I still have a chance?”
