The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Sword King Sect’s Chief Inheritance, An Unexpected Arrival
 

“Huh?”

Ye Feng was stunned.

Opportunity?

What opportunity?

He blinked his eyes, about to ask.

But he heard Shu Hongyu say further, “If one day, I am no longer the Commandery Princess, nor the heir to the lordship of County King City, then, would I still have the chance to practice in the Misty Sect?”

So that was it!

Ye Feng suddenly realized.

At first, he thought Shu Hongyu was going to take him mountain climbing! It had made him a bit anxious, and he nearly turned tail and ran.

Since the System had not responded to his previous inquiry about whether Shu Hongyu met the conditions to join the Sect, Ye Feng also had no idea.

He could only extend his hand and pat Shu Hongyu’s shoulder, saying:

“This matter depends on fate, perhaps… there’s still a chance!”

He didn’t give a definitive answer.

“With Sect Master Ye’s words, Hongyu is reassured,” said Shu Hongyu with a smile.

After exchanging a few words with the old acquaintances Li Jiaojiao, Shi Lei, and Huo Yunjie, she teasingly winked at Mo Ying, then gave Ye Feng a formal bow, a gentle smile on her face.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Commandery Princess. I’ll take my leave!”

With a sweep of his robe, Ye Feng’s golden Heroic Spirit Power surged out, lifting up all the members of the Misty Sect and flying them towards their residence.

At the entrance to the villa.

The maid Yue’er looked at Shu Hongyu, her brows slightly knitted, “Commandery Princess, do you really intend to continue practicing with the Misty Sect?”

“I was originally a disciple of the Misty Sect. If it weren’t for needing to inherit a huge legacy, I would definitely still be there,” replied Shu Hongyu.

She lifted her feet and walked toward a wooden building within the villa, “It’s late at night. It’s time to rest.”

“Yes, Commandery Princess,” the maid Yue’er nodded her head.

…

In an estate that spans a hundred acres.

This place was temporarily arranged for the Misty Sect by Mo Wenshi.

After returning to this place, those who needed to rest did so, while others practiced; everyone became busy.

Under the cover of night.

Ye Feng extended his hand as the Heroic Spirit Power swirled in his palm.

The next moment, he rose into the air.

Before, the Heroic Spirit Power couldn’t lift him up, he could only fly by lifting the metallic boots and belt he wore.

But now, Ye Feng found that the golden Heroic Spirit Power could work directly upon his body.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the room was empty and he was carrying nothing, he was able to stand in the air.

“Hehe, I’ve finally managed to fly!”

Ye Feng was ecstatic.

…

The next morning.

“Sect Master Ye, it’s me.”

A familiar, seductive voice came from outside the door.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“This voice… is it Elder Hongmeng?”

Ye Feng opened his bleary eyes, and after freshening up, opened the door.

Standing outside was a middle-aged woman in a red dress, with a beauty that age could not conceal.

This woman was none other than the good friend of Mo Minxi, the Foreign Affairs Elder of the Sect Main Hall, who had once conducted a One-star Sect evaluation for the Misty Sect in private.

Her true form was a Purple Pupil Spirit Rabbit.

“Sect Master Ye, it’s been a long time. You’re as handsome as ever,” Elder Hongmeng greeted Ye Feng, her lips parting slightly. “Hall Master Liu Ming and the Great Elder have personally arranged for me to act as your guide. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me.”

“I appreciate your assistance,” Ye Feng nodded in thanks.

With Elder Hongmeng, a familiar face as a guide, it would certainly be more convenient to navigate around County King City.

As for the Demon Slaying Festival, if there were any unknowns, he could also inquire with her.

Half an hour later.

Ye Feng and Elder Hongmeng sat at a stone table under a tree.

“When will the Demon Slaying Festival officially begin?” Ye Feng asked.

“It begins in three days,” Elder Hongmeng answered.

“How many forces will come to participate at that time, and during the Demon Slaying Festival, can veteran cultivators like Sect Masters and Elders take action?” Ye Feng continued with another question.

“Let me answer your first question first.”

Elder Hong Meng said, “Basically, all the forces that have obtained the qualifications to participate will be present. The least powerful among them are High Ranked Sects, with the majority being One-star Sects. Of course, there are also a small number of talents from Two-Star Rank forces.”

“All the Two-Star forces are coming?” Ye Feng asked.

“Yes,” Elder Hong Meng nodded.

There are a total of four Two-Star forces in the Southern River Basin, which are County King City, Myriad Islands Alliance, Divine Wind Sword Sect, and Sword King Sect.

Ye Feng was relatively familiar with the first three forces.

Only the Sword King Sect was an exception, as it was located to the north of the Southern River Basin and adjacent to the region where Mystique Capital was situated, Ye Feng had very little interaction with it and thus knew very little about it.

To this day, Ye Feng had only ever seen Luo Hedong, a disciple of the Sword King Sect.

“The second question, the older generation, such as the Sect Master and Elders, are not allowed to take action. This Demon Slaying Conference is, frankly, a test for the younger generation throughout the Southern River Basin. Hence, only Sect Disciples are permitted to act,” Elder Hong Meng continued to answer Ye Feng’s questions.

“But if a Demon General Peak level creature from the Underground Cavern Alien Race appears, can the younger generation alone really withstand them?” Ye Feng was a bit worried.

The strongest disciple of the Misty Sect was Mo Ying.

However, she was only at the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

Even though her foundation was solid and her strength formidable, she could at best contend with a seventh layer being of the Element Gathering Realm from the Foreign Clan but was still no match for those at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm.

“That may not be the case!”

Elder Hong Meng shook her head, “In the past, if a creature from the Underground Cavern Alien Race exceeded the limits of the disciples, Hall Master Liu Ming would personally take it down. But this time, it seems that Lord Liu is not planning to make a move.”

“Why?” Ye Feng was puzzled.

“The number one True Disciple of the Sword King Sect has fearsome strength. Several months ago, he reached the fifth layer of the Element Gathering Realm and single-handedly slaughtered a Middle Rank Evil Beast at the peak of the Demon General level. Now, after the baptism of the Heavenly Dew, his strength must have become even greater,” Elder Hong Meng explained with a hint of envy, “It is likely that he has already broken through to the seventh layer of the Element Gathering Realm and can now fight on par with those at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm!”

“That powerful?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but be surprised.

“That person also has a Supreme Grade talent and possesses a special physique known as the ‘Sword King Physique.’ His talent in the Sword Dao is extraordinarily high, so it’s normal for his strength to be formidable,” Elder Hong Meng said.

“It looks like even Mu Ruxue from the Divine Wind Sword Sect is no match for him!” Ye Feng muttered to himself.

“Mu Ruxue is still very young, and compared to others of the same age, she is a little bit stronger than the number one True Disciple of the Sword King Sect,” Elder Hong Meng revealed an important piece of information.

“Mu Ruxue is that powerful?” Ye Feng was surprised.

He had met Mu Ruxue, and she had even asked him for a favor, and the two had seen each other a few times.

Ye Feng could tell that Mu Ruxue was a very ambitious woman with her own opinions and goals.

As for her strength, without having fought her, he had no idea.

But in Ye Feng’s opinion, he could suppress Mu Ruxue with one hand—there was no basis for comparison between the two of them.

“I wonder if Mu Ruxue will come.”

With that thought, Ye Feng muttered to himself.

“That’s hard to say,” Elder Hong Meng shook her head.

…

In County King City, a mansion decorated with simple elegance.

Ji Wushuang stepped out through the door.

After undergoing the baptism of the Heavenly Dew, he had broken through multiple realms, and now he had reached the Second Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, becoming a newly-promoted True Disciple of the Divine Wind Sword Sect.

He looked up at the handsome young man beside him and hastily bowed with hands clasped, “Brother Bai Chunfeng, you have become even more formidable.”

Bai Chunfeng, the top True Disciple of the Divine Wind Sword Sect.

During Mu Ruxue’s Sword Child conferment ceremony, he had challenged her but was defeated by her sword.

After a period of intense cultivation, Bai Chunfeng had advanced to the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

The glint of his eyes, as he opened and closed them, faintly revealed a sharp sword light, giving off a piercing aura.

“No matter how formidable I am, I am still not a match for Mu Ruxue,” Bai Chunfeng shook his head, appearing resigned.

Among the younger generation, the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm was definitely a peak standard.

However, Bai Chunfeng knew that he still couldn’t stop a single sword strike from Mu Ruxue.

“Don’t sell yourself short like this; it’s not your style,” a cold feminine voice came from outside the gate.

Then, five graceful figures stepped into the courtyard.

The leader was none other than Sword Child, Mu Ruxue.

Following her were four maids, who had now also stepped into the First Layer of the Element Gathering Realm with the help of the Heavenly Dew.

“You actually came?” Bai Chunfeng stared at Mu Ruxue, his face filled with surprise and disbelief.

“Sword Child, weren’t you going to go into seclusion?” Ji Wushuang looked at Mu Ruxue and expressed a similar reaction to Bai Chunfeng.

“I have ended my seclusion, and moreover, I wanted to come here to meet someone in person,” Mu Ruxue looked in the direction of the Sect Main Hall, and in her gaze emerged the image of a tall and handsome figure.

That person seemed to be a mere mortal, yet in reality, he gave off the feeling of an insurmountable lofty mountain.
