Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Mysterious Woman, Paper Fan Young Master’s Suggestion
Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Feng concluded his trip to Zhongyuan City.
This time, he had recruited a total of six hundred new disciples and more than thirty Outer Sect Affairs Managers.
Altogether, they could provide him with a strength augmentation comparable to that of a cultivator who had just entered the Spirit Sea Realm.
“This level of augmentation effect is still lacking,”
Ye Feng thought to himself, not satisfied.
If he could recruit strong practitioners from the Spirit Sea Realm or Divine Origin Realm, his strength could skyrocket in a short period of time.
However, recruiting disciples is an investment.
Disciples are like stocks with potential.
They could break through rapidly, constantly pushing the limits of Ye Feng’s strength. Of course, the downside was that it was a little slow.
“Let’s just leave it at that for now!”
Ye Feng thought it over and felt that maintaining this pace of cultivation breakthrough for the time being wasn’t too bad.
After all, he could enter the unsealed state of Origin Qi, with his strength surging dramatically. Even without relying on the tenfold increase provided by the Origin Qi Source, he could exhibit the Cultivation Level of the seventh layer of the Divine Origin Realm.
If he were to use the tenfold increase, his own strength could reach the Half-step Void Break Realm.
By then, even if facing emperors of the Void Break Realm, Ye Feng would not fall short after deploying “Seven Steps to Heaven”.
“Zhongyuan City Lord, thank you for your hospitality. As the Sect Master, I’ve received hundreds of disciples, and now that it’s about time, I should return to the Misty Sect,”
“I wish Sect Master Ye a safe journey,”
replied the Zhongyuan City Lord with a cheerful face.
He glanced at the several hundred young cultivators Ye Feng had taken as Registered Disciples and could see more than a dozen familiar young faces among them.
They were descendants of his family.
These individuals also met the criteria to join the Misty Sect.
For this, the Zhongyuan City Lord was quite relieved.
Their family now had members in the Misty Sect too!
In the sky above.
Ye Feng placed the several hundred disciples and managers aboard the Spirit Snake Flying Boat, controlling the vessel to fly swiftly forward using the Heroic Spirit Power.
Before long, they vanished from the sight of everyone in Zhongyuan City.
On the ground.
Within the dilapidated temple,
a sinister figure emerged.
Watching the direction in which Ye Feng had departed, the woman’s red lips curved slightly: “Not bad, finally a spy has been planted inside the Misty Sect. With this, the relationship between the Misty Sect and Emperor Beihe can be thoroughly investigated.”
When mentioning Emperor Beihe, a cold glint flitted across the woman’s eyes.
…
Ye Feng led the disciples toward Beiliang City.
During this journey, he patted the shoulder of Wang Xuanping, a Soul-Devouring Clan infiltrator by his side, and said, “You’re not bad, young man—good-looking, talented, and with decent cultivation. You have potential.”
“You flatter me, Sect Master,”
responded Wang Xuanping, pretending to be humbly overjoyed, while internally he felt quite pleased, thinking he must have caught Ye Feng’s attention.
With this, his spy mission would surely progress even more smoothly.
However, he was unaware that at the moment Ye Feng patted his shoulder, a wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy had been planted inside him.
…
Beiliang City.
Upon Ye Feng’s arrival, he found that Xu Dalei, Mu Sisi, and other early Second-generation Disciples were waiting in the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Sect Master, you’ve returned!”
“The ancestral worship just finished, we can now start our return journey,”
said Xu Dalei and Mu Sisi one after another.
Then they looked at the several hundred people on the Spirit Snake Flying Boat and were slightly surprised.
“These are the new disciples and managers that I’ve recently recruited… These here are some of the earliest Second-generation Disciples, and these two are Mu Sisi and Xu Dalei,”
Ye Feng introduced both sides to each other.
“Greetings, Senior Brother!”
“Greetings, Senior Sister!”
“Hello to all the junior sisters and brothers!”
Both groups greeted each other, nodding their heads, with the overall atmosphere being harmonious and no awkward situations arising.
“Alright, let’s head back!”
Ye Feng didn’t want to delay any longer.
In a few days, he would have to go to the Royal Capital to attend the Star Rising Celebration, so he had to return to the sect early to arrange matters.
…
Southern River Basin.
In a secluded valley.
The Paper Fan Young Master took out a massive finger, covered in vines, from his pocket and tossed it onto the formation he had just finished inscribing.
“Sicke la daoci…”
The Paper Fan Young Master began chanting a spell.
The broken finger on the formation started to collapse, turning into a gate of light. From it, a wisp of eerie Divine Sense floated out, gathering power in mid-air to condense into a clone of the Grey Vine Goddess.
“Heh heh heh…”
“Finally made it!”
The Grey Vine Goddess’s clone lowered her head to look at the Paper Fan Young Master, sensing the aura of the Prophet Clan from him, which made her pupils contract.
“The Prophet Clan!”
“Indeed, it is!”
The Paper Fan Young Master lightly waved his fan, “This severed finger, I found it by the lake near the County King City. I’ve used a secret technique to summon you here.”
“What do you want?” the Grey Vine Goddess’s clone asked.
The Prophet Clan was a formidable force in the Starry Sky.
The Grey Vine Goddess had intended to enslave the Paper Fan Young Master, but now, recognizing his origins, she had no choice but to bow her head.
Even if her true body were present, she would not dare to harm the Paper Fan Young Master.
After all, he represented the entire Prophet Clan.
The Grey Vine Goddess’s Divine Sense swept over, taking notice of Zhu Yongfu and Xiao Fangu nearby. She could sense the legacy of the Prophet Clan from Zhu Yongfu.
But it was only a legacy.
The Paper Fan Young Master was different; he was a genuine member of the Prophet Clan, a true descendant of the Starry Sky Mighty Races.
An existence like this was not to be trifled with.
With that thought, the Grey Vine Goddess’s clone began to act with respect.
“I summoned you here not for any other purpose, but because I saw you make a move against the County King City before and wanted to give you a hand,”
said the Paper Fan Young Master as he gently waved his fan.
The Grey Vine Goddess’s clone frowned slightly: “Is that really all there is to it?”
She didn’t believe that was the whole story.
The Paper Fan Young Master wafted his fan and, after a moment, said, “Actually, I think the Misty Sect has no reason to exist. It’s just that my current strength is not yet sufficient to annihilate it.”
Hearing this, the Grey Vine Goddess understood.
“You want to use my power to flatten the Misty Sect?”
“Exactly!”
The Paper Fan Young Master suddenly turned around, looking at the Grey Vine Goddess, “You’re smart, and it’s so relaxing to talk with a smart person.”
“Unfortunately, I cannot descend in my true body,” the Grey Vine Goddess frowned slightly, “after all, I need the Blood Sacrifice Array, but once I start the blood sacrifice, someone will surely try to stop me.”
“Who says you need a Blood Sacrifice Array to summon the true body?” the Paper Fan Young Master said with a smile.
“Do you have a suggestion?” the Grey Vine Goddess was taken aback.
“Teleportation Array!” the Paper Fan Young Master declared.
Recently, the news about the Teleportation Array of the Royal Capital of the Mystique Kingdom has been spreading, and everyone knows that one can travel to Jiaoyang Holy City using the Teleportation Array.
Some people have even started their journey.
However, the cost of ten Upper Grade Spirit Stones for teleportation was indeed quite expensive.
“Teleportation Array?”
The Grey Vine Goddess paused, “But my true form is somewhere in the Starry Sky, and it’s not easy to be teleported here.”
“You can take a detour!”
The Paper Fan Young Master smiled, “Go to a force without powerful beings to preside over and perform a blood sacrifice there, summon your true body, and then use the Teleportation Array to travel to the Mystique Kingdom. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
“Hmm?”
The Grey Vine Goddess was dumbfounded.
That’s the plan?
It was quite a far-fetched idea!
But after considering the feasibility of such a method, the Grey Vine Goddess grinned and said:
“You’re right. It’s not suitable to perform a blood sacrifice in the Mystique Kingdom or its surroundings for the time being, but I can start with some weaker forces to perform the sacrifice and bring my true body over.”
“Then, I’ll storm into the Misty Sect and flatten it.”
“This plan, it works!”
Having said this, the Grey Vine Goddess’s clone looked at the Paper Fan Young Master, “Very well, then I will take my leave. The day my true form descends will be the day I crush the Misty Sect to dust!”
“I look forward to the good news!”
The Paper Fan Young Master smiled faintly.
Whoosh!
The Grey Vine Goddess’s clone streaked across the sky and left.
