Chapter 500: Chapter 500: The Disturbance at the Celebration, Ancestral Tree Demon’s Split Soul
“Actually, I had guessed it a long time ago.”
Ye Feng whispered.
As a transmigrator who had read many books, how could he not deduce Ling Yue’s origin?
In fact, when Ling Yue revealed her surname, doubts had begun to form in Ye Feng’s heart.
If she were not a princess of the royal family, how could she possibly have defended the Miaoyin Tea House with her Spirit Sea Realm cultivation level?
Ling Yue’s breath hitched.
“Did Sect Master Ye really know my identity all along?”
She blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, looking at Ye Feng with a hopeful expression.
“So, may I sit beside Sect Master Ye?”
“As you please.”
Ye Feng didn’t object.
He wasn’t interested in being close to women.
But having a beautiful woman sitting beside him was far better than sitting with the Third Prince, Shu Qianjun, and other such as the perennial Elders.
A beauty was pleasing to the eyes.
Looking at one was beneficial to one’s mental and physical health.
“Thank you!”
Ling Yue felt a warmth in her heart and slightly lowered her head.
She seemed a bit shy.
The Third Prince had never seen Ling Yue in such a light before and nearly spat out his tea.
“Could it be that the First Princess fancies Sect Master Ye?”
“Indeed!”
“Sect Master Ye’s cultivation is profound, his strength powerful, and he’s the Sect Master of a Sect. If I were a woman, I too would like him very much.”
The Third Prince’s mind raced, “Moreover, my relationship with the First Princess isn’t bad. If I could use this connection to deepen my ties with Sect Master Ye, that wouldn’t be too bad.”
With this thought, the Third Prince fell silent.
In his heart, Ling Yue and Ye Feng had already become a couple.
“Hehe!”
“Someday in the future, when I ascend the throne as the new Emperor, with the support of the First Princess and Sect Master Ye, I will definitely be able to solidify my rule.”
The Third Prince began daydreaming in broad daylight.
At the seats.
Ye Feng surveyed the surroundings.
The vast plaza had become crowded with cultivators.
On those giant stone pillars designated for honored guests, people had started taking their seats.
Among them, familiar faces appeared.
“Greetings, Sect Master Ye!”
Beiliang City Lord Ding Cheng, Young City Lord Ding Qing, Zhongyuan City Lord, and other guests from South Ming Country took their seats on the same stone pillar.
Further afield.
The royal family of the Great Liang Demon Nation had also arrived.
Among them was the Great Liang Empress.
She was dressed in an opulent pale moon-white, floor-length gown that exuded an air of regal grace as she walked.
Glancing at Ye Feng from afar, she nodded in greeting.
“Sect Master Ye, why have you come alone?”
The next moment, Ye Feng’s mind received a message transmission from the Great Liang Empress.
“The others are in honored guest seat number 77,” Ye Feng replied.
The Great Liang Empress looked around and found Liang Wanfen but did not see Liang Wanrou or Liang Wanyu.
“Eh, Xiao Fen has actually broken through to the Demon King Realm!”
The Great Liang Empress was taken aback.
Ye Feng transmitted back, “Keep calm, do not be alarmed! As for the other two, they are currently in seclusion attempting to break through to the Demon King Realm, so they didn’t come.”
Hearing this, the Great Liang Empress was even more astonished.
Both Liang Wanrou and Liang Wanyu were about to break through? It was bewildering how far they had come in such a short time since leaving the Great Liang Demon Country.
“It seems that Sect Master Ye must have taught them well,” thought the Great Liang Empress.
Whoosh!
From the sky, the sound of waves crashing suddenly filled the air.
Everyone looked up.
A swath of clouds descended from the heavens, lifting several figures aloft.
The one in the lead was the Ancestor Lingmiao.
He walked on air, hands clasped behind his back. Despite wearing plain and simple attire, the formidable presence of the Void Break Realm he exuded formed a grandiose Myriad Zhang Dharma Form in the sky, seemingly able to suppress Heaven and Earth.
Upon his arrival, he instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
“It’s Ancestor Lingmiao!”
“The elder has finally made an appearance.”
“It looks like the Star Ascension Ceremony is about to officially begin.”
The crowd immediately quieted down.
“Welcome to you all!”
As soon as Ancestor Lingmiao appeared, he smiled and a voice emanated.
However, his lips did not move; he used the Power of Heaven and Earth to create the sound, which traveled rapidly, echoing in everyone’s minds with clarity and resonance.
“Thank you all for coming.”
“I am Ancestor Lingmiao, representing the entirety of the Mystique Kingdom, and I welcome the presence of every one of you.”
“…”
What followed was a series of pleasantries.
The duration lasted for an entire half hour.
Ye Feng’s ears almost developed calluses from listening.
He lowered his head.
Looking at the food on the table that had almost gone cold, Ye Feng thought it a pity.
“Everyone, let’s eat!”
Finally, Ancestor Lingmiao finished his pleasantries.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng hurriedly started eating with his chopsticks.
The other resident Elders at the table also began to raise their glasses in celebration.
Misty Sect.
The disciples sat in the Sect Main Plaza, almost falling asleep while listening to Ancestor Lingmiao’s half-hour-long congratulatory speech.
“So this is what they call a star-raising celebration!”
“If there’s another celebration like this next time, I’m definitely not going.”
“Yeah, it’s so long-winded!”
The disciples complained one after another.
“Next time?”
“Hehehe, your Misty Sect won’t have a ‘next time’!”
A frighteningly eerie voice suddenly came from the sky above, chilling everyone to the bone.
All the disciples and Stewards of Misty Sect who stayed behind looked up, only to see a bewitchingly beautiful woman standing in the sky tens of thousands of feet high, wielding a vine-wrapped giant axe and clad in armor.
She parted her lips in a smile.
In those crimson eyes of hers, cruelty was brimming.
“This is bad, it’s the Grey Vine Goddess!”
In the crowd, Chu Yun’er recognized the newcomer.
Excited, she immediately crushed a jade pendant.
That was for message transmission to Ye Feng.
“Oh, you actually recognize me. Not bad, not bad. I’ll kill you first then, ha ha ha…”
The Grey Vine Goddess laughed malevolently.
The next moment.
The terrifying aura of the Divine Origin Realm at its peak descended like a disastrous storm, instantly suppressing the area of Misty Sect, Whitefloat City, and the surrounding regions for hundreds of miles.
Everyone lay on the ground, staring up at the sky.
At this moment, they all felt a sense of despair and helplessness, as if death was imminent.
Royal Capital.
Ye Feng’s gaze hardened.
“This is outrageous, to launch a sneak attack while I’m away!” He suddenly stood up, smashing his wine glass.
The shattering of the glass sounded shrill.
All those around turned their attention.
“Sect Master Ye, you…”
The Third Prince had just started to say something.
Boom!
In the sky, an alarming explosion suddenly echoed, shaking heaven and earth. Even Ancestor Lingmiao’s Myriad Zhang Dharma Form was pushed back, causing shock among everyone present.
Rip!
The sky seemed to be torn apart by a giant pair of hands.
An ancient figure, covered in vines, slowly emerged from the rupture.
The oppressive aura of the Void Break Realm instantly consumed the entire area.
Even Ancestor Lingmiao, upon seeing this person, had his calm countenance darken instantly.
The newcomer was also in the Void Break Realm!
Moreover, his original cultivation level was very high, at least the third level of the Void Break Realm. Even if it was just a Soul Fragment, it still gave off the intimidating sense of facing the peak of the first level of the Void Break Realm.
“Finally crossed over to this realm,” the ancient figure murmured to himself.
His voice was not loud.
And his tone seemed calm.
However, when his words fell on everyone’s ears, they exploded like thunder.
Most people, upon seeing this figure, were unable to muster any will to resist.
Misty Sect.
Looking at the Grey Vine Goddess in the sky and now at the ancient figure in the image, the disciples’ mood plummeted.
Misty Sect was under siege by the Grey Vine Goddess.
And Sect Master Ye Feng was in the Royal Capital, facing another even more terrifying mysterious strong opponent.
“It’s over!”
“The Sect Master can’t return in time, we’re doomed!”
The disciples’ faces turned ashen.
In the crowd.
Wang Xuanping’s expression was awful.
Today, he finally escaped his bricklaying duties and managed to slip back into Misty Sect, only to encounter such an event.
“Damn it, I finally infiltrated the Misty Sect, and before I even found anything, I ran into the Tree Demon Clan!”
“The one who descended upon the Royal Capital must be the Ancestral Tree Demon’s Split Soul. It’s said that his original body has reached the third level of the Void Break Realm and is not easy to provoke.”
“Perhaps Ye Feng is going to die.”
Wang Xuanping watched Ye Feng in the image, thinking this to himself.
She made her decision.
If the Grey Vine Goddess decided to kill her, she would immediately reveal her affiliation with the Soul-Devouring Clan to save herself.
She did not want to die at Misty Sect!
