Chapter 923: Chapter 923: Chu Tianhe, Wen Xue, Wen Yue (Second Update) Chapter 923: Chapter 923: Chu Tianhe, Wen Xue, Wen Yue (Second Update) In front of the cabin.
Chu Tianhe watched Ye Feng silently, while the twins by his side gently pressed their red lips together and said,
“You're right, my original name is indeed Chu Tianhe, but I'm also known as Xiuxiang, which is my nickname. As for us sisters, we are Wen Xue and Wen Yue.”
Ye Feng smiled and said, “Wen Xue, Wen Yue? Nice names!”
Indeed, these two names were listed on the Power Stele, both ranked around ten thousandth.
However, ten thousandth rank was only at the Saint Entry Level, while the true cultivation levels of Wen Xue and Wen Yue were at the Peak of Saint Manifestation, meaning the sisters had deliberately hidden their strengths.
“Elder, who are you?”
Chu Tianhe hastily inquired.
He hadn't expected the young man before him to be so formidable, recognizing them immediately, but since the other party claimed they wanted to cooperate, there must be no malintent, so he greeted with a smile.
“My name is Ye Feng; she is Hu Feifei, and this is the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey,” Ye Feng introduced.
Hearing this, the faces of Chu Tianhe and the others drastically changed.
“Ye Feng from Shenzhou!”
“So it's you!”
“Ranked one thousand on the Power Stele, possessing Heavenly Saint Level strength…but you have only entered the Saint Entry Realm, that's impossible!”
The three of them thought of the divine list rankings, growing even more astounded.
They all believed that Ye Feng from Shenzhou was a mysterious cultivator at the Heavenly Saint Realm, perhaps an ancient, amiable old man.
But who knew, he had just entered the Saint Entry Realm!
Having combat power that spanned two realms, that was too monstrous!
“No need to be surprised.”
Ye Feng waved his hand. “The reason I took action to save you, besides the fact that you dared go against the Mingwang Holy Sect and therefore share my path, more importantly, I want to borrow the full strength of the four strikes from the Cicada Wing Flying Sword.”
Hearing this, Chu Tianhe looked sorrowful.
Wen Yue and Wen Xue both sighed sadly.
“The Mingwang Holy Sect is too tyrannical; they not only dug up our ancestors' graves, they also killed our respective family and friends. Otherwise, we wouldn't have risked taking action.”
Chu Tianhe spoke in a low voice.
Hearing his story, Ye Feng, Hu Feifei, and Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey came to understand the situation.
This matter traced back a hundred years ago.
Cultivators from the Mingwang Holy Sect had entered Dongzhou, specifically targeting the burial sites of cultivators without powerful backing, extracting numerous uncorrupted corpses of powerful beings.
Among these ancestral graves were those of Chu Tianhe, Wen Xue, and Wen Yue.
When the news reached them, the three were naturally enraged.
But before they could take action, their friends had already attacked these people from the Mingwang Holy Sect.
A great battle thus erupted.
Members of the Mingwang Holy Sect summoned a Ming Clan Puppet Warrior, called the Mountain Giant Ape, whose potential was fully unleashed, reaching the Heavenly Saint Level.
In that battle, Chu Tianhe and their friends were killed, their corpses carried away to be turned into Ming Clan Puppet Warriors.
By the time Chu Tianhe arrived at the scene of the great battle, the Mountain Giant Ape had already left with the Ming Clan Puppet Army.
That was when their feud started.
“We also know that the Mingwang Holy Sect is a Hegemon-Level Power, harboring the enigmatic Ming Emperor at its helm, and even the Great Elder of the Mingwang Holy Sect is at the Heavenly Saint Level; we simply can't match them.”
“In order to seek revenge, we thought of every possible method.”
“But, nearly a hundred years have passed, still to no avail.”
“It was only three years ago that the situation changed.”
Chu Tianhe looked at the replica of Cicada Wing Flying Sword in his hand and continued, “We met an outsider sage who lives in seclusion in this cabin on the Undying Star.”
“This Elder is mysterious.”
“There's no record of their combat power on the Power Stele, evidently, they must be a true hidden sage.”
“The elder is a Sword Dao practitioner, very strong.”
“Their life-bound Holy Weapon is the Cicada Wing Flying Sword. I attempted to become his disciple, he refused me, but upon knowing I wanted to destroy the Mingwang Pot, he modified this Heavenly Saint Level fine sword, infusing it with one-tenth of the origin of the main body of Cicada Wing Flying Sword.”
“Therefore, this sword can unleash the combat power of a Supreme Saint.”
Chu Tianhe recounted the entire events.
Hearing this, Ye Feng roughly understood.
“So, after obtaining the replica of the Cicada Wing Flying Sword, did you feel invincible? Did you ever consider that if you couldn't avenge yourself after those ten opportunities were exhausted, wouldn't your life be lost in vain?”
Ye Feng spread his hands and asked.
“I was indeed blinded by arrogance at the time and didn't think it through,” Chu Tianhe scratched his head.
His idea was simple.
He would take the initiative to enter the battlefield, attract the attention of the strong from the Mingwang Holy Sect, and then rely on the Cicada Wing Flying Sword to assassinate one or two Heavenly Saints in an instant, deterring everyone present.
Finally, he would shatter the Mingwang Huo and accomplish his goal.
However, they miscalculated.
The defense of that ancient altar was too strong–it could even unleash a formation at the Supreme Saint level that the Cicada Wing Flying Sword couldn't break through.
Thinking of this, Chu Tianhe looked at Ye Feng, curious about his methods for breaking formations.
Meeting Chu Tianhe's gaze, Ye Feng said,
“I have a special method for breaking formations that can destroy both the Mingwang Huo and the formations within that altar.”
“But to thoroughly destroy the altar, the Four Heavenly Pillars, and the Mingwang Huo, four attacks at the Supreme Saint level are needed.”
“That's where the Cicada Wing Flying Sword comes in.”
Ye Feng had previously analyzed the Mingwang Huo in secret, knowing that this Sacred Arms possessed strong defenses. Even if the Eye of Decryption shattered all the formations, its inherent strength was still formidable.
Without the combat power of a Supreme Saint, it was impossible to destroy it.
“I see!”
Chu Tianhe nodded. “As long as the Mingwang Huo can be shattered and the altar crushed, even if the remaining seven Supreme Saint-level strikes are exhausted, I'm willing to accept that.”
“There's no need to use them all up, four strikes will be sufficient.”
Ye Feng waved his hand, “However, I should state beforehand that once those Four Heavenly Pillars break, everything inside, I intend to take all of it. Do you have any objections?”
“What's inside those Four Heavenly Pillars?” Chu Tianhe scratched his head. “If there is, just take it.”
“Then there's no problem,” Ye Feng nodded.
In his view, Chu Tianhe, Wen Xue, and Wen Yue were still decent.
They were willing to risk their lives for revenge for a friend, valuing relationships and loyalty, worth befriending. Ye Feng asked them this to avoid future conflicts.
After their previous candor, the parties were familiar with each other.
Afterward, Ye Feng and Chu Tianhe chatted idly for a while and then addressed each other as “fellow Daoists.”
“Is this the cabin where the owner of the Cicada Wing Flying Sword lives?” Hu Feifei pointed behind Chu Tianhe, where a three-story wooden house stood, appearing ancient and tasteful.
“Yes,” Chu Tianhe nodded.
“That predecessor dislikes worldly strife. Even possessing the strength of a Supreme Saint, he chose not to establish a sect to compete for supremacy but instead secluded himself here, which is quite rare.”
“Indeed rare,” Ye Feng nodded.
He pushed open the wooden door and entered the house.
On the first floor, there was a parlor with good lighting. A painting hung on the wall, depicting the Cicada Wing Flying Sword.
The sword in the painting was extremely sharp.
Ye Feng only glanced at it and felt as if his consciousness was drawn into a vast Sword Dao world, seeing countless flying swords swirling in the sky.
Their aura was either sharp, domineering, or heavy… encompassing various types, like a Sword Dao Kingdom.
Rip!
Ye Feng suddenly saw a fierce white light flash across this Sword Dao world, and then, the entire world split in two, so powerful that even Ye Feng felt he couldn't withstand this sword light.
In the next moment, Ye Feng's consciousness returned to his body.
“What a Sword Dao Sanctuary!”
Ye Feng knitted his brows, reminiscing about the scene just now.
This Sword Dao Saint had already created a Sword Dao Sanctuary, internally aligning with the power of Sword Dao laws, immensely powerful, and even a singular painting he left behind was enough to annihilate the Heavenly Saint Realm.
If this were to spread, it would shock the world.
