Chapter 540: Chapter 540: A Distinguished Guest of the Leiwu Dynasty, The Arrival of a Mysterious Woman
Ye Feng took out the Book of Names.
He did not dawdle; instead, he efficiently recorded Li Qiankun’s personal information and stamped it with the Sect Leader’s Seal.
“Ding, registered disciple ‘Li Qiankun’ received, Element Gathering Realm Fourth Layer, Supreme Grade roots, Body of Holy Spirit.”
Upon hearing the system notification, Ye Feng was startled.
Body of Holy Spirit?
What kind of special physique was this?
Ye Feng admitted he did not understand, so he put away the Book of Names and the Sect Leader’s Seal and scrutinized Li Qiankun with seriousness.
Detailed information appeared in his vision.
[Name: Li Qiankun]
[Roots: Supreme Grade]
[Cultivation Level: Element Gathering Realm Fourth Layer]
[Physique: Body of Holy Spirit (An extremely powerful physique formed by the essence of an Ancient Saint seeping into an infant’s body at birth, naturally bald, and capable of effortlessly neutralizing curse backlashes)]
Seeing the note at the end, Ye Feng’s eyes widened.
“System, you mean to say that Li Qiankun won’t suffer from curse backlash?” Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
“Yes.” The system explained, “Normally, cultivators who practice spells related to curses would suffer from curse backlash. For instance, practicing the Deduction Technique of the Prophet Clan may lead to permanent hair loss, but Li Qiankun won’t.”
Ye Feng glanced at Li Qiankun’s shining bald head and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Hair loss?
Would a bald person be afraid of hair loss?
System, you’re so cheeky!
Ye Feng couldn’t help but complain internally.
However, now that he knew Li Qiankun was suited for practicing curse spells, that meant Ye Feng could impart his knowledge of the Prophet Clan’s curse techniques to Li Qiankun.
With this in mind, Ye Feng looked at Li Qiankun with a smile, already having planned out the other’s future cultivation path.
“Alright, we’ve now gathered the Five Great Demon Emperors and taken in Qiankun as a new disciple. It’s time to head back to the sect,” Ye Feng said calmly.
Subduing the Five Great Demon Emperors had caused his physical power to skyrocket to the peak of the Divine Origin Realm, which was a significant gain.
Now, it was time to return.
As Sect Leader, he could not stay away from the sect for too long.
Moreover, the cooling period for the Holy Divine Form was almost over.
He had to prepare for his move against Wang Xuanping!
“Daddy, are we leaving already?” Li Qiankun asked, feeling reluctant to leave the Demon City upon hearing Ye Feng’s words.
“Yes, prepare to follow the Sect Leader.” The Mountain Divine Monkey nodded, hefting the Black Sky Cudgel onto his shoulder.
Looking at Hu Feifei beside him, he still couldn’t comprehend how her small frame could contain such terrifying power.
Half an hour later.
After emptying his residence of treasures in the Demon City, the Mountain Divine Monkey found Ye Feng, who was drinking tea in a teahouse, and they left the place together.
Looking back at the Demon City, home to millions from the Demon Race, Ye Feng’s gaze sharpened.
“This place is good. I’ll find an opportunity to take it over later.”
That’s what Ye Feng was thinking in his heart.
On the way back to Heavenly Thunder City.
“It’s Sect Master Ye!”
The Flying Spirit Sect Master, the Royal Family Offerings, and others saw the five colossal Demon Emperors in the sky, their pupils shrinking. Then, they noticed Ye Feng leading them and rejoiced.
“Ah, it’s you guys.”
Ye Feng was surprised to see the Flying Spirit Sect Master. He could tell that they were looking for him.
“Are you Misty Sect’s Sect Master Ye Feng? I am Song Zhou, the Grand Offering of the Leiwu Dynasty, sent by the Imperial command to invite Sect Master Ye to visit Heavenly Thunder City,” Song Zhou immediately stated his purpose.
“Sure!” Ye Feng agreed cheerfully.
Since the Leiwu Dynasty’s royal family had personally invited him, he naturally wanted to spend some time there, maybe even take on an apprentice or two.
Swoosh!
The group sped through the low sky, flying westward.
With the Mountain Divine Monkey and the other Five Great Demon Emperors leading the way, they opened a hidden small-scale Teleportation Array in the mountains. Soon after, they arrived in the eastern part of the Leiwu Dynasty.
…
Wind Demon Mountain Range.
The Demon God Temple Master looked around in astonishment, his eyes filled with wonder.
“How odd.”
“Why did Ye Feng’s energy suddenly disappear, as if he were teleported away? Could it be that he has discovered my presence?”
“Impossible!”
“I am at the Fourth Layer of the Void Break Realm. With his cultivation wasted, how could he possibly detect my existence?”
The Demon God Temple Master furrowed his brows.
He immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and began to deduce.
…
Thousands of miles away.
A graceful figure shrouded in mist flew slowly, eventually arriving above Demon City.
“Found it, it’s right here!”
“The descendant of my old acquaintance is down below in this city inhabited entirely by the Demon Race.”
“What I’m looking for should finally be within my grasp.”
The mysterious woman smiled faintly.
After the time it takes to brew half a pot of tea.
The mysterious woman stood inside the Mountain Divine Monkey’s residence, her brow furrowed with a look of surprise upon seeing the empty abode.
She looked around, and all the peak Demon Kings lay prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear.
“Great Emperor, we really don’t know where that monkey has gone!”
“However, that monkey did indeed keep a bald-headed young man of the Human Race, he has quite the talent; at a young age, he reached the Element Gathering Realm.”
“Great Emperor, spare my life, I know nothing!”
The surrounding peak Demon Kings were shivering, each trying their best to dissociate themselves from this affair.
“Bald-headed young man?”
The mysterious woman nodded, “Indeed, it’s true that my old acquaintance’s descendant was born hairless.”
She began to walk around the residence.
After deducing for a while, she saw past visions of Li Qiankun living within the residence, including a scene where he wore a jade pendant around his neck.
“It’s really him!”
The mysterious woman’s lips curled up slightly.
She turned around, sensed for a moment, and then flew towards Heavenly Thunder City.
Thousands of miles away.
The Demon God Temple Master was flying towards Demon City.
It didn’t take long.
“Eh, it’s you!”
The mysterious woman encountered the Demon God Temple Master in the air, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.
“Yuzhu… Your Excellency!” The Demon God Temple Master saw the mysterious woman, his pupils constricted, and he hurriedly bowed in greeting.
He could never have imagined that he would encounter the chief disciple of Jiaoyang Ancient Saint here.
Remembering the warning Yuzhu gave him a while ago, the Demon God Temple Master’s heart chilled, wondering if she had come after him because she knew he was going to make a move on Ye Feng?
“What a coincidence indeed.”
Yuzhu glanced at the Demon God Temple Master, noticing there was no trace of Li Qiankun’s energy on him, she paid no further attention and continued to fly toward Heavenly Thunder City.
“That scared me!”
Watching the direction in which Yuzhu disappeared, the Demon God Temple Master sighed in relief.
He pondered for a moment, then continued to fly toward Demon City.
…
Heavenly Thunder City.
At this moment, Ye Feng and his group had arrived in the city by using a small Teleportation Array prepared by the Great Offering, Song Zhou.
“Sect Master Ye, the Imperial Palace is just ahead. The Emperor is inside, hosting a banquet to welcome you,” said Song Zhou with a beaming smile.
“Thank you for your effort,” Ye Feng nodded.
At this time, Li Qiankun, along with the First Generation Disciples Wang Ping’an, Qiao Jiaxi, and Long Tianxing, walked shoulder to shoulder.
Wang Ping’an glanced at Li Qiankun, noticing a ring-shaped jade pendant hanging from his neck, and asked curiously, “Junior Brother Li, what’s that on your neck? A token of love?”
Li Qiankun looked down and held the jade pendant.
“This? I don’t know either. My foster father said that when he found me, this jade pendant was already on me. Over the years, it hasn’t shown any special properties.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was taken aback.
He looked down at the ring-shaped jade pendant, instinctively activated the Eye of Insight, and then his eyes sharpened.
