Huo Yunjie and Long Tianxing nodded upon hearing this.
Although they hadn’t managed to bring a Dao Companion back this trip, acquiring a Second-Grade Spell for Whitefloat was quite exhilarating.
“Right, there are also the Spirit Stones.”
Long Tianxing quickly opened his Spirit Stone pouch and found that it contained over twenty Lower Grade Spirit Stones, each shining and glittering like beautiful jade.
“We’ve even earned back our travel expenses!”
The three disciples looked at each other, smiles gradually twisting on their faces.
Huo Yunjie suddenly remembered something and took out a silver talisman from within his clothes, saying, “This seems to be the Lower Grade ‘Stabilizing Talisman’. Below the Element Gathering Realm, as long as it’s stuck on the forehead, it can immobilize a person.”
It was used by Jiang Dachao when he wielded the “Soul Control Technique” to force the maid to attempt to assassinate Lin Yuyan.
After Huo Yunjie removed the talisman paper, he had been secretly keeping it.
“The Stabilizing Talisman, it’s really quite a find! We must hurry back to Misty Peak and hand over these treasures to the Sect Master Uncle,” Shi Lei couldn’t hide his joy.
“Is the Stabilizing Talisman really that powerful?” asked Long Tianxing, scratching his head curiously.
Huo Yunjie explained, “Of course, it’s powerful. Like I said, no one below the Element Gathering Realm can resist it. The only downside is that it has to be applied at close range, which is a great limitation.”
“By the way, Second Senior Brother, what is the Soul Seizing Sect?” Long Tianxing voiced his curiosity.
Huo Yunjie’s face darkened slightly as he spoke solemnly, “The Soul Seizing Sect is a demonic sect, not recognized by the orthodox sects. It is rumored to have practitioners at the Element Gathering Realm level stationed within and is not weaker than the High Ranked Sects. The members of this sect are infamous for their unscrupulous deeds, killing people and refining their souls, utterly abhorrent.”
“Can’t be, are there really sects that are so cruel?” Long Tianxing felt a chill running down his spine.
Huo Yunjie patted his shoulder and said, “Junior Brother Long, you are still too young. The Cultivation World is complex and intertwined, not as simple as you imagine.”
“So, the world outside is this dangerous,” Long Tianxing felt some pressure.
Shi Lei showed a simple smile as he said, “Junior Brother Long, you needn’t worry. All schemes and tricks are like bubbles before absolute strength. What we need to do is to cultivate diligently. With strength, we can stand firm anywhere.”
“Hmm!”
Long Tianxing nodded firmly.
He had always wanted to know his origin, but his Maternal Uncle Long Zhenchuan and his mother had not permitted him to travel far.
Even after arriving at the Misty Sect, Ye Feng had also warned him not to leave within a three-hundred-mile radius of Whitefloat City until his Qi Refinement reached the seventh level.
Having traveled to Beacon Fire City, Long Tianxing now realized how dangerous and complex the outside was. He thought it was best to heed the Sect Leader and the elders’ advice: wait until he was strong enough before venturing far.
“Big brother, are you guys alright?”
At this moment, Huo Yunhao ran down from the Zhuyu Teahouse, accompanied by a worried-looking Huo Yunjie’s mother.
“We’re fine, the person behind the disturbance has been caught, and now we’ve handed him over to our friend Lin for handling,” Huo Yunjie said.
Huo Yunjie’s mother “Xue Shulan” quickly inquired, “Which friend Lin? Is it Miss Lin Yuyan from the Lin Family? Right, where is she?”
“Miss Lin Yuyan has already returned home,” Huo Yunjie said.
Huo Yunhao immediately started gossiping, “Big brother, how did the matchmaking go?”
“No match,” Huo Yunjie shook his head, his words painting a look of disappointment on Xue Shulan’s face.
But then, they heard Long Tianxing say, “Just now Miss Lin Yuyan invited our Second Senior Brother to dinner, but Senior Brother suggested another day.”
“Really?”
Xue Shulan’s eyes lit up as she already had her grandson’s name and the school he would attend all figured out.
“Mother, let’s talk about the matchmaking later. We’ve stumbled upon an urgent matter and must rush back to Misty Peak… Oh, here are five Spirit Stones. Your cultivation talent is not very good, so keep these and cultivate well. Make sure to stay healthy and happy every day. I’ll come to see you again when I have the time,” Huo Yunjie stuffed five Spirit Stones into Xue Shulan’s hands and patted Huo Yunhao’s shoulder before mounting his sword and soaring into the sky.
“Goodbye, Aunt!”
Long Tianxing and Shi Lei waved their hands, jumped onto their Spirit Swords, and ascended with Huo Yunjie, disappearing quickly from everyone’s sight.
“You little rascal, get back here!”
Only then did Xue Shulan realize her eldest son had run off again, anger prompting her to throw the Spirit Stones in her hand after him.
“Mother, those are Spirit Stones, don’t throw them!”
Huo Yunhao’s eyelid twitched, and he dove forward to catch the Spirit Stones with great care.
“Ah, those are Spirit Stones? I thought your brother was fooling me with some jade!” Xue Shulan realized they were indeed Spirit Stones, instantly regretting her action.
Atop Misty Peak.
Ye Feng lay on the rooftop at an angle, propping his head with his left hand, his legs crossed at the ankle, while with his right hand he wielded the power of the Heroic Spirits to control a dagger, making it thrust rapidly through the air in accordance with his thoughts, just as if he were employing a Sword Control Technique.
On another rooftop.
Mo Ying held a single hand in an incantation gesture, controlling the Breeze-riding Sword to compete with Ye Feng’s dagger, producing brilliant sparks upon collision.
On the ground.
The other disciples looked up, watching the battle intently.
“The Sect Leader’s Sword Control Technique is so impressive. In just half a day’s time, he can already completely suppress Senior Sister Mo,” Ouyang Feng said, clenching his fists with longing.
“That’s not the Sword Control Technique, Sect Master Uncle doesn’t have cultivation. What he’s using now is an intangible power called the Heroic Spirit Power, which is a kind of Power of Heaven and Earth. It can control not only swords and knives but all things,” Jia Yulan explained.
After saying this, she executed “Falling Blooms in Profusion,” and numerous petals converged into a keen-edged sword that she slashed upwards, yelling, “Sect Leader, Senior Sister Mo, let me be your sparring partner.”
“Okay,” Ye Feng nodded in agreement.
Today was really too boring.
Thus, Ye Feng started to familiarize himself with the power of the Heroic Spirits.
With Mo Ying’s assistance, he gradually mastered how to wield this power. He even learned the “Sword Combat Technique,” which truly surprised Mo Ying. She secretly thought Ye Feng’s comprehension was terrifyingly astonishing, truly demon-like!
Ye Feng felt that if he encountered the Black Patterned Serpent Demon and Little Wolf General now, these two demons would definitely have no chance to escape.
Above the gloomy forests of Fuyun.
Three sworn brothers advanced on their flying swords.
Unbeknownst to them, from within a dense forest below, two cold gazes watched them.
“Little Wolf General, it seems to be just the three of them. Why not let me make a move?” The Black Patterned Serpent Demon said, dissatisfied.
“Foolish! Ye Feng of Misty Sect is surely hiding nearby; these three are most likely bait. If you go out there, you’re seeking death,” Little Wolf General said darkly.
He looked down at his severed arm, grinding his teeth with hatred, “Ye Feng, for the arm you took, I will make sure to grind you into dust!”
Hearing the name Ye Feng, the Black Patterned Serpent Demon also showed a face full of resentment. Glancing at its partially severed tail, its anger intensified, “Ye Feng is too strong. Only Lord Demon General himself can handle him.”
After a moment of thought, Little Wolf General said, “Last night Lord Demon General sent a message, saying he has come out of seclusion and is going to discuss important matters with Souhun Zhenren today. We must simply wait for the good news.”
“Speaking of which, where is the Shape-shifting Beast?” The Black Patterned Serpent Demon asked.
“That disloyal dog, upon finding out I wasn’t a match for Ye Feng, betrayed us on the spot. Now it’s anyone’s guess where it ran off to,” Little Wolf General said, suddenly irritated, wishing he could beat the Shape-shifting Beast to a pulp.
“That guy!”
The Black Patterned Serpent Demon gnashed its teeth in anger.
Misty Peak.
“Sect Leader, we’re back!”
Long Tianxing and his two companions returned on their swords. From afar, they had seen the Mini Earth Element Slaughter Array and mistook it for an invasion by the Demon Race, which greatly alarmed them.
Once they looked more closely, they realized there seemed to be no issue and called out loudly.
“You’re back so soon?”
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.
Logically, after a matchmaking meeting, shouldn’t they immediately enter their bridal chamber?
Was the matchmaking a letdown again?
He had thought that Misty Sect would finally see someone break their single status and was ready to celebrate, yet there they were, still a bunch of single dogs. Pitiful!
When Mo Ying saw Huo Yunjie and the others return, she immediately waved the Core Formation Flag to allow them passage.
“Sect Leader, we’ve brought back a surprise!”
Huo Yunjie could scarcely contain himself and said excitedly.
“Oh, what surprise?”
Ye Feng’s eyes sparkled.
