Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Strength Enhancement, Demon Emperor’s Lair, The Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows
The Bear Demon spoke with a serious tone, but the words that came out were rather timid, creating such a big contrast that it almost made everyone’s jaws drop in disbelief and left them speechless.
This fellow is actually willing to become a Spirit Beast of the Misty Sect just for the sake of a meal, how bizarre!
“Welcome to the Spirit Beast Pavilion,” Niu Dali came over and patted the Bear Demon’s shoulder with his hoof.
“Big brother Niu, you are also from the Spirit Beast Pavilion?” The Bear Demon’s eyes widened, and then something occurred to him, “Aren’t you… aren’t you the Green Ox Demon General from the Western Mountain Range of the Great Liang Demon Nation?”
“Indeed, it’s me.” Niu Dali said with a simple smile.
“What, you only recognize the Green Ox Demon General and not me, the Mad Elephant?” The heavy elephant approached with its head held high.
“It’s you, the Mad Elephant Demon General!” the Bear Demon exclaimed in shock.
“And what about me?” The Tyrant Emperor Copper Head Ape slowly walked over, draping his arm over the Bear Demon’s shoulder.
“The Tyrant Emperor Copper Head Ape, who has the most hope of being promoted to Demon King in the Western region, has also joined the Misty Sect,” other cultivators were also surprised.
Up until now, their attention had all been on Ye Feng and the three princesses, overlooking the others for a moment.
Only now did everyone notice that infamous entities like the Green Ox Demon General, Mad Elephant Demon General, and Tyrant Emperor Copper Head Ape from the western border of the Great Liang Demon Nation had actually joined the Misty Sect and become Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.
For a moment, many demonic beasts thought that it seemed quite appealing to become members of the Spirit Beast Pavilion.
After all, room and board were included!
“Next, let’s begin with personnel allocation,” Ye Feng interrupted the many demonic beasts vying for relations, “Line up everyone, let this Sect Leader register each of you, then you can officially join the Misty Sect.”
He sat down at the table and tapped the surface with his pen.
“Yes.”
All of the several hundred demon race and human race cultivators formed a line, beginning with the Bear Demon, each stating their identity.
“Sect Leader, my name is Xiong Daqiang, with a Middle Grade Mad Bear Bloodline, at the Peak of Lower Rank Demon General.”
“Sect Leader, my name is Ma Sanbu, Lower Rank Demon General.”
“Sect Leader, my name is Meng Zhi, Qi Refinement fifth level, Middle Grade root bone.”
…
These several hundred “fated ones” introduced themselves one by one.
Ye Feng allocated them selectively as disciples, stewards, or Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts based on their age and cultivation level.
For now, Ye Feng did not plan to appoint any new Elders, unless their cultivation had reached the Spirit Sea Realm.
Currently, the Misty Sect only had two Elders.
Li Zilong and Gong Qingqiu.
The former was already in the Spirit Sea Realm, wielding the Mad Dragon Bone Spear, and had the battle power to cross into the mid-stages of the Spirit Sea Realm levels.
The latter had stepped into the seventh level of the Element Gathering Realm and was also the first Elder in the history of the Misty Sect, occupying a unique status.
The Thousand-Year Ancient Pine had initially belonged to the Spirit Beast Pavilion, only to be reassigned later to the Elders’ Hall as a Guardian Elder, although he did not manage affairs.
For those who came later, becoming an Elder would not be easy.
Ye Feng felt that in the future, Element Gathering Realm could only serve as stewards, and those who wanted to be promoted to Elders could wait until they broke through to the Spirit Sea.
An hour later.
All personnel were assigned.
This time, there were a total of twenty new stewards with Element Gathering Realm Cultivation, three hundred registered disciples, and thirty-six Demon General level Spiritual Beasts.
When they had all completed registration, Ye Feng felt that his own power had greatly increased in that instant.
He clenched his fists, his gaze slightly intense.
Now, his physical strength had officially reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm; one more step would make him a Half-Step Great Venerable.
“Not bad!”
Ye Feng smiled.
Currently, the Sect Disciples had reached over four hundred people, almost half of the minimum target, and the progress was considered quite rapid.
Ye Feng closed the Book of Names, put away his things, and looking at the Outer Sect Affairs Managers, registered disciples, and Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts standing before him, his eyes filled with satisfaction, he said:
“Next, this Sect Leader is treating everyone, eat whatever you like!”
As soon as the voice fell, all the Spiritual Beasts cheered.
Xiong Daqiang kept wiping his drool, giggling, “The Sect Leader has kept his word, today, I’ll be satisfied with just a whole street.”
“Then I’ll take two streets!” said Niu Dali.
“I guess taking three streets wouldn’t be too excessive, right?” queried the Mad Elephant.
Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.
He suddenly felt a bit regretful.
These Spiritual Beasts, why was each one a big eater? If this continued, he feared the Misty Sect would be eaten into bankruptcy.
“No, I have to keep earning money.”
Ye Feng thought of Xie Jiaren.
This “Sea King,” whose talent was extraordinary and who could refine Supreme Grade Spirit Beast Feed, would surely make a fortune once he handed her the carcasses of the Demonic Beasts he had.
But, that would take time.
Ye Feng looked at the First Princess, Liang Wanrou, beside him and said, “First Princess, where is the Bone Demon Empress’s cave dwelling?”
This was a genuine Demon Empress, and her cave dwelling must contain a vast treasure.
If he could get his hands on it…
Thinking of this, Ye Feng grew impatient, his smile slowly turning sinister.
The First Princess shook her head and said, “The Bone Demon Empress made her name in the Ancient Demon Battlefield and reportedly didn’t have a fixed cave dwelling. Even if she did, we wouldn’t know where it is.”
“That’s troublesome,” Ye Feng felt somewhat disappointed.
However, he soon took out a silver-white Demon Core, used a strand of Wind Element Spirit Energy, and tracked down several closely linked locations.
Slap!
Ye Feng threw down a bag of Middle Grade Spirit Stones and said, “Ziling, you eat first, I, the Sect Leader, have important matters to attend to!”
No sooner had he spoken than he dashed away without a trace.
The crowd looked up in the direction where Ye Feng had disappeared, and after a while, they turned their gazes towards Ji Ziling, who was holding the bag of Spirit Stones.
“Senior Sister, I want to eat the roast meat from Li’s…”
A certain Registered Disciple scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
…
Ye Feng followed the sense and headed to his destination.
After traversing tens of thousands of miles, he arrived above a scenic range of mountains and hills; after piercing through the mist, he entered a secluded cave dwelling.
Only a few little demons were guarding this place.
Seeing a stranger come in, they immediately launched an attack.
Ye Feng exuded an intimidating aura, crushing them to pieces.
As if entering an uninhabited land, he made his way to the deepest part of the cave dwelling and found numerous storage rings and precious materials.
“Space Stones, Space Fixing Pearls… These are all materials for refining Space Teleportation Arrays!”
Ye Feng laughed.
He cleared out the place, and then, following the guidance, he headed to the next cave dwelling.
“They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows; this Bone Demon Empress had several cave dwellings too. If it weren’t for her Demon Core and the guidance of Wind Element Spirit Energy, even a Divine Origin Realm Cultivator might not have been able to find all her dwellings.”
Ye Feng continued on his way.
The Bone Demon Empress’s cave dwellings were very secretive.
But this didn’t pose a challenge to Ye Feng.
In his hand, he held the silver-white Demon Core, which was the essence of the Bone Demon Empress’s entire being. It contained a significant part of her soul power, allowing him to find the cave dwellings regardless of any barriers.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
It was now deep into the night.
“Only one last cave dwelling remains. Based on the previous ones, this last one must be the main dwelling,” Ye Feng thought as he flew over a mountain range, arriving at the Ancient Demon Battlefield.
This place concealed the last and main cave dwelling of the Bone Demon Empress.
Half an hour later,
Ye Feng reached the southernmost part of the Ancient Demon Battlefield.
This area bordered the Barren Desert to the south and the Southern River Basin to the west, with the Great Liang Demon Nation to the east, making it a kind of ‘no-man’s-land.’
From above, the terrain looked like a meteorite crater with a diameter of a hundred miles.
“The foundations of Shenzhou Continent are really stable. Even such a large meteorite impact left only a crater,” Ye Feng remarked in admiration as he descended into the crater.
Whoosh!
A gale filled with heavy Evil Qi came howling, striking like invisible blades towards Ye Feng.
He extended his hand, used Slaughter Energy to suppress all the Evil Qi, and instantly refined it, claiming it as his own.
On the ground, Ye Feng found many corpses.
These were powerful Demonic Beasts that had been crushed to death by the terrifying force and heat at the moment of the meteorite’s impact.
However, the fact that they left behind corpses meant that they were quite strong in life, at least at the level of a Demon King in the Spirit Sea Realm.
