Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Qingyun Zhenren Flees with the Sect Overnight
Myriad Islands Alliance.
“What a pity!” Alliance Leader Mo Tianlong patted the armrest, shaking his head repeatedly.
He turned his head to look at Mo Minxi, whose face was veiled, and said, “Daughter, why don’t you go and visit Sect Master Ye at Misty Sect?”
“I…” Mo Minxi didn’t know how to answer.
Her father intended to matchmake her with Ye Feng, but after much thought, Mo Minxi felt that she had no emotional foundation with Ye Feng.
However, visiting didn’t seem like a bad idea.
With this in mind, she nodded lightly, “I will prepare a gift and visit Misty Sect after some time.”
“That’s more like it!” Mo Tianlong was relieved and stroked his long beard contentedly.
He genuinely felt that the more he looked at Ye Feng, the more he liked him. Such a person was surely a perfect match for his daughter.
Even if Ye Feng had lost all his cultivation, he was still keen on matchmaking Mo Minxi and Ye Feng.
As the saying goes,
A deal fallen through leaves room for good moral conduct.
In Mo Tianlong’s eyes, even if the two didn’t become Dao companions, it would be great if they could still become good friends.
Before long,
Mo Minxi flew towards County King City on a purple dragon formed from demon elemental force, preparing to purchase a gift.
…
County King City.
Shu Hongyu sat barefoot on a rooftop railing, facing the southern wind and looking off into the distance towards Misty Sect.
“Cultivation completely lost… how could this be?”
“But surviving such a perilous battle is fortunate enough.”
She murmured softly, hopping down from the railing.
“Someone, prepare a generous gift for me; I will be visiting Misty Sect soon!”
“Yes!”
…
Divine Wind Sword Sect.
Mu Ruxue stood with her hands behind her back atop Enforcement Peak, gazing in the direction of Misty Sect.
“Ji Wushuang, prepare a gift!”
…
Royal Capital.
Xu Huamao, Glaze King Xu Renshan, and the top elders of the Xu Family’s Divine Origin Realm were gathered joyously together.
“Come on, no one’s going home sober tonight!”
“To celebrate the loss of Ye Feng’s cultivation!”
“Cheers!”
People of the Xu Family were all in high spirits.
What they didn’t know was that two figures were standing on clouds overhead, looking down at the Xu Family’s banquet hall with contempt.
Third Prince Ling Luotian clenched his fists.
“These people are outrageous!”
He couldn’t help exclaiming.
Sect Master Ye had sacrificed so much, and yet the Xu Family didn’t know how to be grateful, even holding a banquet to celebrate it—they were despicable.
The man in the gray robe sneered, “The Xu Family has a narrow mind and cannot comprehend true elegance. You don’t need to concern yourself with them, Your Highness.”
“No, I can’t let it be!” The Third Prince’s expression was serious. “When I ascend the throne and become the Sovereign, I will certainly expel the Xu Family from the Royal Capital.”
The man in the gray robe remained silent. He was merely a Protector.
He seldom interfered with the Third Prince’s decisions, offering at most a reminder or two, without insisting on anything.
…
Qingyun Sect.
Upon hearing the recent events, Qingyun Zhenren slumped into his seat.
“Well, I’ll be!”
“Ye Feng is actually a Half-step Void Break!”
“That we even contested with him is sheer folly!”
“Quick, quick, quick, the whole sect must relocate; we’re leaving Mystique Kingdom overnight. We can’t stay in this forsaken place!”
Qingyun Zhenren was prepared to flee.
Even if Ye Feng had lost all his cultivation, behind him were two formidable backers at the Void Break Realm, Ancestor Jinling and Ancestor Lingmiao.
They were not to be trifled with!
“What?”
“We need to relocate our entire Sect?”
“Where do we go, though?”
Upon hearing the news, the cultivators of Qingyun Sect were all shocked, unable to comprehend.
“Let’s move as far away as possible… I remember now, tens of thousands of miles away from the Southern River Basin, there’s a Mortal Realm Kingdom called… what’s it, Nanyun Thirteen States? Let’s move there and claim our dominance.”
Qingyun Zhenren made his decision.
The Nanyun Thirteen States don’t even have a single Cultivator in the Spirit Sea Realm.
Despite the scarcity of resources, if they moved there, with his strength at the high order of the Element Gathering Realm, he would surely be able to sweep through all challengers and live a life of power and influence.
“Sect Leader, shouldn’t we take a look at the situation before moving?”
“Right, we can secure a location first before moving.”
“Yeah, yeah!”
The Elders of the Qingyun Sect kept suggesting.
“…”
Qingyun Zhenren was speechless.
Every time he made a significant decision, this bunch would jump out with their comments and opinions, truly annoying.
“If you all don’t move, I’ll go alone!”
Qingyun Zhenren was quick-tempered.
He rose into the air, taking the spiritual trees near the Sect Master’s Grand Hall with him, and left Qingyun Sect overnight, speeding towards the Nanyun Thirteen States.
“Damn!”
“The Sect Leader took the Spirit Tree and ran off!”
“It’s over, without the Spirit Vein, how are we going to cultivate?”
The people of the Qingyun Sect had bitter expressions on their faces.
…
Ye Feng was unaware of what had happened in the Qingyun Sect.
Under the night sky.
He sat on a rattan chair, gazing at the starry sky.
“It’s so quiet!”
Ye Feng slowly closed his eyes.
A gentle breeze blew past his ears, with only faint noises; the rest of the Sect was either resting or cultivating, so they were very quiet.
Only from the platform of the Spiritual Beasts, there were the intermittent snores of the beasts, seemingly competing with each other.
There were also the sounds of insects chirping and birds calling among various other noises.
Though there were sounds, when they reached Ye Feng’s ears, they didn’t seem loud, imparting a sense of tranquil comfort instead.
Such days were rare.
“Being used to fighting and killing, suddenly enjoying such a quiet and beautiful moment is not too bad,” Ye Feng thought to himself.
He held a Mini Banana Palm Fan, fanning himself to cool down.
“The Star Palace is gone, and the Sect Protection Array now only has the Black and White Chessboard and the Five Elements Continuous Array left, which isn’t very powerful. Just any Cultivator from the Divine Origin Realm would be able to easily break through it.”
“It seems I’ll have to personally craft a brand new Sect Protection Array.”
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
Suddenly, he remembered the reward for the fourth stage task of being a Sect Leader.
Among them, was a large-scale Sect Protection Array.
This kind of Formation was capable of withstanding attacks from those in the Divine Origin Realm.
“Now that I think about it, Misty Sect’s foundation is already sufficient for it to be promoted to a Two-Star Sect. The star-raising celebration for Mystique Kingdom delayed us before, but now, we should also bring this back to the agenda.”
Ye Feng sat up straight.
He decided to submit the application for the Two-Star Sect certification first thing tomorrow.
The next morning.
Ye Feng found Gong Qingqiu.
“Send a message to the Commandery Prince, tell him that Misty Sect wants to undergo the Two-Star Sect evaluation.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
Gong Qingqiu took out a Golden Messenger Paper Crane, ready to release it, but was stopped by Ye Feng’s hand.
“The Teleportation Array!” Ye Feng pointed at the formation on Misty Peak, reminding her.
“Ah? I was being silly!” Gong Qingqiu smacked her forehead and quickly stepped onto the Teleportation Array, transporting herself to County King City.
After Gong Qingqiu left, Ye Feng opened the System panel.
[Sect Prestige Value: 87695545]
“Almost ninety million.”
Ye Feng was pleasantly surprised.
[Power of Faith: 2578932]
“The Power of Faith isn’t too shabby either, almost three million,” Ye Feng touched his chin, quite comforted.
This battle, although they didn’t obtain the corpse of the Grey Vine Goddess and the Ancestor of Tree Demons, the Prestige Points were about the break a hundred million, which was delightful.
Three days later.
Gong Qingqiu returned.
Following her, there was Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun, Third Prince Ling Luotian, a man in gray robes, Ling Yue, and several old men in ancient white robes, who were at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.
“Sect Master Ye, we are the Appraisal Elders for the Two-Star Sect evaluation, responsible for this Sect evaluation,” one of the men in white robes stepped forward and said with respect.
He looked at Ye Feng with excitement.
During the battle at the Royal Capital.
Almost every Cultivator had witnessed Ye Feng using “Seven Steps to Heaven,” crushing the Ancestral Tree Demon’s Soul Fragment with a single step.
In their eyes, Ye Feng was a god!
Being able to conduct a star-upgrade evaluation for his led Sect was their honor, and once they went back, it would be a tale to boast for at least fifty years.
