Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Parting on Bad Terms, Ye Feng’s Confidence (Four Updates)
Ye Feng sat in his seat.
Under these circumstances, he couldn’t be bothered to speak.
For him, more trouble was simply not worth the fuss.
Moreover, he had already arranged for disciples of the Misty Sect to go out and slay the Crimson Moon Demons. As for the situation at the Crimson Moon Gate, Protector Fox Consort Feifei had been continuously monitoring it. Should anyone emerge, she would be able to detect them immediately.
In this matter, the Misty Sect had taken the initiative early on.
“What you all have said is not without reason,”
Yin Rurong nodded slightly.
She looked around, and finally her gaze landed on Ye Feng, who was sipping his tea with his head lowered. She asked, “What does Sect Master Ye think?”
In an instant, all eyes turned to Ye Feng.
Pfft!
Ye Feng almost spewed out the tea in his mouth.
He was annoyed!
He was just being an onlooker, so why did Yin Rurong suddenly bring the question to him?
“How could this Sect Master think? Of course, I’d open my eyes wide and observe carefully!”
Ye Feng put down his teacup.
Yin Rurong’s expression remained unchanged, but the corners of her mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. She hadn’t expected such an answer from Ye Feng.
“Sect Master Ye.”
“It is said that you laid in ambush near the Crimson Moon Gate, where Protector Fox Consort Feifei of your esteemed sect killed a top Heavenly Emperor, while you yourself blasted a One-Turn Quasi-Saint to death.”
“Is this correct?”
Yin Rurong inquired as such.
Ye Feng nodded, “That’s right.”
“In that case, Sect Master Ye had planned early on to use the method of blockading the Crimson Moon Gate to prevent the descent of the Celestial Clan’s powerhouses,”
Yin Rurong murmured to herself.
Hearing this, Ye Feng had a strange expression on his face.
He really wanted to say:
No, not at all!
I had no intention of blockading the Crimson Moon Gate.
I just wanted to let Fox Consort Feifei shear some wool; who knew the Celestial Clan’s powerhouses would descend?
But just as the words reached his lips, Ye Feng looked up at the sky with a solemn face, and spoke with conviction and power, “That’s exactly what Ye intended!”
As his voice fell, he kept a stern face, appearing very serious.
But in reality, Ye Feng could barely keep up the act.
Yin Rurong’s red lips curved slightly, and she spoke in a cool voice:
“Sect Master Ye’s achievements at such a young age are indeed not without reason. Your thoughts are meticulous and courageous.”
She went on, “To be frank, this Holy Master has devised a plan.”
“That is, major powers send Quasi-Saint level experts to guard the Crimson Moon Gate at all times.”
“As soon as a formidable enemy emerges, eliminate them immediately.”
“Without the support of the Celestial Clan, those Crimson Moon Demons on the Shenzhou Continent alone are not a threat.”
“We, the younger generation of the major powers, can help the seniors in the Saint Realm secure our rear, and that would be enough.”
“Once they are free from the Outer Domain Battlefield, the time will come to besiege the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable!”
Yin Rurong’s voice was steady and grave.
The formidable aura of a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint radiated out in that moment, causing everyone present to feel a tremendous pressure.
The representatives of the major forces looked at each other in dismay.
It seemed Yin Rurong had already made plans.
Summoning everyone wasn’t really for discussion, but rather akin to issuing orders.
“I’ve said my piece. Who agrees, and who objects?” Yin Rurong threw the question back to everyone once more.
The more than a hundred top powerhouses present glanced at one another.
Object?
That would offend Yin Rurong.
As for agreeing… to send their top combat power to guard the Crimson Moon Gate for no apparent reason was a loss-making proposition, and nobody was willing to do that.
“I object!”
Ye Feng suddenly widened his eyes.
If other people were to guard the Crimson Moon Gate, how could he let Fox Consort Feifei continue to shear wool?
There’s a saying that fits: too many cooks spoil the broth!
Once many powerhouses appear around the Crimson Moon Gate, especially top Heavenly Emperors and Quasi-Saint level experts with their sharp eyes, they would definitely discover the secret of Fox Consort Feifei.
Then, accumulating energy happily would no longer be possible.
“You object?”
Yin Rurong fixed her gaze on Ye Feng, her face showing displeasure.
The representatives of the major forces shrank their necks, fearing that Yin Rurong would turn hostile on the spot, and none of them wanted to face the wrath of a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint.
“The Crimson Moon Gate can be guarded temporarily by the protector of our Misty Sect,” Ye Feng spoke up, looking serious, “If our Sect’s protector cannot withstand them, I, the Sect Leader, will personally enter the fray—with gods blocking, kill gods; with Buddhas blocking, kill Buddhas!”
As he spoke passionately, he stood up.
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Couldn’t have heard that wrong, right?
Ye Feng is actually going to personally guard the Crimson Moon Gate?
“Good!”
“Worthy of being Sect Master Ye, brave and resolute, I agree!”
“I wholeheartedly double agree with both hands and feet!”
Those top powerhouses who were unwilling to send strong fighters became excited, one by one they stood up, casting admiring and respectful looks at Ye Feng, nearly giving him a hug.
“This… ”
Yin Rurong had not expected things to develop like this.
Initially, her aim was for the various major forces to dispatch their strong fighters, and then, Tianmiao Holy Land would coordinate them.
In this way.
Tianmiao Holy Land would essentially gain temporary control over these fighters, which would be greatly beneficial for Tianmiao Holy Land.
But she hadn’t expected Ye Feng to be so headstrong!
He even wanted to take charge alone!
“No! The Celestial Clan is too dangerous, just Sect Master Ye and your sect’s protector are not enough to hold them back.”
Yin Rurong feigned concern for Ye Feng’s safety.
“Humph, the Crimson Moon Gate has appeared in our Cangqing Forbidden Zone, it’s not your place to point fingers!”
At this point, Xiao Cangtian stood up.
He snorted with dissatisfaction and continued to say:
“The defense of the Crimson Moon Gate, for now, can be sufficiently managed by Misty Sect and our Cangqing Ancient City. If we are still outmatched, other forces can provide support at any time.”
“I agree!” declared Wu Xuan of the Supreme Heaven Forbidden Zone.
“I agree as well.”
“If support is needed, just send a message.”
People from the major forces expressed their stance one after another.
None of those present were fools.
Some had already seen through Yin Rurong’s calculated plan, however, they wouldn’t let Yin Rurong have her way.
Previously, they didn’t dare to question her.
But with Ye Feng taking the lead, and with the support of Xiao Cangtian, the son of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone, and the standpoint of Wu Xuan, son of the Supreme Heaven Forbidden Zone, Yin Rurong, no matter how formidable, wouldn’t dare to force her way.
Even though Tianmiao Holy Land is strong, the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone standing behind Xiao Cangtian is not to be trifled with either.
That senior has already reached the pinnacle of the Saint Manifestation!
In the entire Shenzhou Continent, his strength could be ranked in the top ten, so even the Old Saint Master of Tianmiao Holy Land wouldn’t dare to be overly presumptuous facing the Forbidden Zone Master of Cangqing.
At the main seat.
Yin Rurong’s expression was dark and uncertain.
She was very displeased inside.
Her well-laid plans were disrupted by Ye Feng.
“Ye Feng, when you fail to defend the Crimson Moon Gate, scurrying away with your tail between your legs, don’t blame me, the Holy Master, for taking action!”
Yin Rurong thought to herself.
After pondering for a moment.
“As it is, let the Cangqing Forbidden Zone and Misty Sect temporarily guard the Crimson Moon Gate. If any issues arise, you will be held accountable!”
“This meeting is adjourned!”
Yin Rurong swept her sleeve, tore through the void, returned to Tianmiao Holy Land, and sat on the Holy Master’s seat with a frosty face.
In the center of the Heavenly Origin Sea.
On the Floating Island.
“Sect Master Ye, take care!”
“Sect Master Ye, you truly are heroic. I respect you as a real man; here’s a small token of appreciation, please accept it with a smile.”
“Sect Master Ye, I have a granddaughter…”
Individuals from the major forces bowed to Ye Feng, showing their fondness and presenting gifts.
People from the various Holy Lands were even trying to court Ye Feng.
“You are all too kind.”
Ye Feng accepted the gifts.
He knew that he had offended Yin Rurong. However, not offending her means that Fox Consort Feifei would lose the chance to level up without any restraint.
Moreover.
Yin Rurong was merely a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint, he was not at all anxious.
With Prestige Points soaring, the power of the Holy Divine Form grew increasingly formidable, having already reached the Third Turn Quasi-Saint Level.
In no time, he would be close to a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint.
Furthermore, as long as Fox Consort Feifei leveled up quickly, it wouldn’t be long before she too could reach the Four-Turn Quasi-Saint Level.
In a Shenzhou Continent without a Saint Realm powerhouse, Ye Feng didn’t need to worry at all.
Soon, only three people were left on the Floating Island.
Yuzhu, Ye Feng, Xiao Cangtian.
“Ye Feng, offending Yin Rurong is quite troublesome!” Yuzhu said, his face full of concern.
“Ye Feng, to have upset Yin Rurong’s dignity like that, I, Xiao Cangtian, don’t usually support the wall, but I support you!”
Xiao Cangtian looked at Ye Feng, his expression complex.
[Finished, haha, it’s almost midnight, good night everyone!]
