Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Yuzhu’s Concern, Fox Da Hong Returns, Reward
“`
For Ye Feng, Xiao Cangtian had mixed feelings of love and hate.
In his view, Ye Feng was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered in his life. Although he was consistently outmatched by Ye Feng, Xiao Cangtian bore no resentment towards him after the fact.
Especially after his breakthrough to a One-Turn Quasi-Saint, Xiao Cangtian had an epiphany.
There is always someone better.
Xiao Cangtian was once a top-notch prodigy, but that didn’t mean he was the strongest. Losing to a freak like Ye Feng, he felt neither unjustly treated nor resentful.
On the contrary.
After being enlightened by the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone, Xiao Cangtian fully understood that he could see Ye Feng as a goal to chase after.
As long as he could continue to narrow the gap between them, he would definitely achieve explosive breakthroughs.
Therefore, he did not wish for Ye Feng to come to harm.
Such an opponent only comes once in a thousand years.
Losing him would be a regret for a lifetime.
Regarding Yuzhu’s concerns, Ye Feng waved his hand and said, “Currently, there is no Saint Realm powerhouse presiding over Shenzhou Continent, and although Yin Rurong is a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint, she can’t cover the sky with one hand, so there’s no need to worry.”
Yuzhu nodded and said,
“Actually, this matter isn’t all that significant.”
“You just offended Yin Rurong’s dignity; at most she might be miffed with you, but it’s unlikely she’ll act against you personally. However, offending her is akin to offending Tianmiao Holy Land, which is disadvantageous for Misty Sect.”
“After all, if Misty Sect wants to be promoted to Holy Land, it requires the joint identification of other Holy Lands.”
“And by then, it’s hard to guarantee that Yin Rurong won’t throw a wrench in the works.”
At this point, Yuzhu showed a look of concern.
“Is that so?” Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment.
“Yes, for a Five-Star Force to be promoted to Holy Land, it needs to obtain the approval of at least five Holy Lands, and no more than three objections from other Holy Lands.”
“If Yin Rurong sways other Holy Lands to cast opposing votes against Misty Sect, that would be bad news,” explained Yuzhu.
Hearing this, Ye Feng slapped his forehead.
Now that Yuzhu put it that way, it was indeed so!
However, all he did was suggest that Misty Sect guard the Crimson Moon Gate. Could that be wrong?
Was it wrong?
In any case, Ye Feng felt it wasn’t wrong!
If Yin Rurong was disgruntled by this, so be it.
“What’s the use of being promoted to Holy Land? We from Cangqing Forbidden Zone are not a Holy Land, but in front of us, what do Holy Lands count for!” Xiao Cangtian interjected scornfully.
“After the promotion to Holy Land, the Sect’s status is different, their voice carries more weight, and it is of great benefit to the Disciples of the Sect,” Yuzhu explained.
“Tch!” Xiao Cangtian shrugged.
“Let’s leave this matter as it is for now!” Ye Feng waved his hand, “Our Misty Sect is currently only Three-Star, and we’re preparing to advance to Four-Star. The status of Holy Land is still far away.”
He gestured a farewell to the two of them, ready to leave.
“I take my leave!”
Xiao Cangtian gave Ye Feng a meaningful look, tore through the void, and returned to Cangqing Ancient City.
“Let’s go, too!”
Yuzhu tore through the void, and together with Ye Feng, they returned to Jiaoyang Holy City. Then, Ye Feng slipped into the void, making his way back to Misty Sect.
With that, the meeting of the top hundred forces was officially concluded.
…
Deep in the ocean.
Two kelp demons pierced through a shark, devouring its qi and blood, gaining another enhancement.
Suddenly!
One of the kelp demons opened its huge, bloodied mouth and tore apart its companion, swallowing it whole. Its aura grew stronger, not doubling, but increasing by eighty percent.
“Hiss hiss!”
It flicked its tongue, roaming through the sea.
Whenever it encountered its own kind, it would swiftly shred and devour them to grow its own strength.
This method of rapid advancement by devouring one’s own kind had yet to be discovered by any cultivator.
And similar incidents of cannibalism were happening all over the ocean, resulting in a batch of Crimson Moon demons breaking through their limits and ascending to Demon King level.
They continued to devour, growing swiftly.
In the ocean.
Danger was now pervasive!
…
Sea God Island.
Fox Da Hong looked at the newly completed Sea God City, leaping up with joy, and laughed, “Haha, it’s finally built. Our task of opening sea routes can also be considered completely accomplished.”
“`
Dog Er Ha was very excited, “Big Sister, can we return to the Sect now?”
“Almost,” Fox Da Hong nodded her head.
She issued new orders.
For example:
Establish a solid defense line on Sea God Island to prevent the Crimson Moon Demons from invading the island.
Bring all the wandering members of the Human Race to Sea God Island, so that they could live here, which would be safer than the outside world, and, at the same time, could bring vitality to Sea God City.
In this way, when the disciples of the Misty Sect arrived at Sea God City, if they wanted to buy any daily necessities, they could also purchase them locally.
One day later.
Fox Da Hong left the fat seal to guard Sea God City, and then, taking Dog Er Ha and Brother Flathead, the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast, stepped onto the teleportation array happily and vanished in a brilliant light.
Whitefloat City.
All the spiritual beasts left the teleportation array.
“Demon… Demon Emperor!”
Fox Da Hong had just appeared when her formidable aura swept out, shocking the entire city and causing many mighty beings to tremble.
But soon.
They noticed Brother Flathead, the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle, and other familiar spiritual beasts and realized these were members of the Misty Sect’s Spirit Beast Group.
“Let’s go, back to the Sect!”
With a wave of her little hand, Fox Da Hong led the spiritual beasts as they tore through the void and returned to the peak of Misty Peak.
As they left, the cultivators near the City Lord’s Mansion’s teleportation array all began to discuss.
“The Misty Sect actually has another Demon Emperor; who do you think that is?”
“I don’t understand either.”
“With fiery red hair, likes to eat duck legs, this… this all sounds like Fox Da Hong!”
“Impossible! Fox Da Hong is just at the Demon King level, not even a Demon Emperor; how could she be a Demon Emperor?”
“That I don’t understand.”
Fox Da Hong did not know about the people’s discussions.
At this moment.
In front of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.
Ye Feng looked at the many spiritual beasts lined up before him, as the System’s notification sounded in his ears.
“Ding! Congratulations to Fox Da Hong and other spiritual beasts for completing the task of opening the ocean trade route, receiving a boost in the power of their bloodlines.”
No sooner had the voice faded.
A powerful aura exploded from the bodies of these spiritual beasts, their bodies shimmering like they were bathed in brilliant golden light; the bloodlines within them transformed, rapidly advancing to a higher level.
Even their cultivation levels began to progress.
Brother Flathead, who was originally a Middle-Rank Demon Emperor, had now stepped into the realm of High-Rank Demon Emperor, drawing ever closer to becoming a Demon Emperor.
Fox Da Hong, Little White Fox, and other spiritual beasts, who were only Demon Kings without the aid of the Demon Emperor’s Halo,
Had now, with the completion of this mission, collectively stepped into the realm of Peak Demon Kings.
Only one step away, and they could challenge the Demon Emperor.
“You’ve done well.”
“Next, our Misty Sect will also have our domain over the seas, so go cultivate well, and strive to reach the Demon Emperor Realm as soon as possible,” Ye Feng said.
He reached out his hand to take back the Demon Emperor’s Halo.
But after a thought, he found Fox Da Hong’s appearance as a red-dressed, red-haired beautiful girl quite to his liking, so he withdrew his hand.
“Fox Da Hong!”
“Present!”
“I will temporarily leave the Demon Emperor’s Halo with you. Once you step into the Demon Emperor realm, you can formally transform into human form. Then, as the Sect Leader, I will take back the Demon Emperor’s Halo.”
“Thank you, Sect Leader!”
Fox Da Hong clapped her little hands excitedly.
“Woah!” Brother Flathead, upon hearing these words, felt very unhappy and frustrated, complaining to himself why he couldn’t wear the Demon Emperor’s Halo.
“You’re too strong, you don’t need the Demon Emperor’s Halo,” Ye Feng glanced sideways at Brother Flathead and said with a half-smile.
“Woah?”
Brother Flathead raised his eyebrows.
Indeed, am I too strong to need the Demon Emperor’s Halo?
Thinking this, Brother Flathead stood upright, struck a pose with his hands clasped behind his back, and, puffing out his chest, walked toward the Spirit Beast Pavilion.
Seeing this, Ye Feng almost burst out laughing but hurriedly held it back.
Not until the group of spiritual beasts had gone far away did he finally let out a snort of laughter.
