The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 142: The Invitation, The Soaring Heroic Spirit Power

Clang!

A crisp sound.

The Earth Demon’s tail stopped just a foot away from Ye Feng’s chest.

A red treasure bead the size of a thumb was suspended in mid-air, emitting a great amount of light, forming a shield the size of a plate, blocking the sharp tail of the Earth Demon.

“What is this treasure?” The Earth Demon tried to pull back its tail but found it stuck, unable to pull it out.

Ye Feng felt secretly relieved.

It was fortunate that he released the Five Elements Spirit Bead at the critical moment, otherwise, a direct hit from the Earth Demon’s tail would have left him dead or severely injured.

The Five Elements Spirit Bead now served as the container for Heroic Spirit Power, and being a middle grade Spiritual Artifact itself, it had become even more durable after being repaired by the Heroic Spirit Power, unafraid of the Earth Demon’s attacks.

Bang!

Ye Feng took the opportunity to gather his strength in his legs, kicked the Earth Demon away, and then followed up by fanning out a gust of wind strong enough to break magic.

The Earth Demon, knowing it was no match, didn’t dare to resort to underhanded tactics anymore and fled without looking back.

“Don’t think about escaping!”

Ye Feng pursued it closely, and although he was slightly slower, he suddenly had an idea. He fanned the wind in the opposite direction to accelerate himself and caught up with the Earth Demon under the astonished gazes of the crowd, bringing down his fist!

Boom…

The punch infused with all of Ye Feng’s strength was immensely powerful, directly smashing the Earth Demon to the ground, its body cracking open.

“Now’s my chance!” Ye Feng took the opportunity to wave the Mini Banana Palm Fan.

Once, twice, thrice…

Using all his strength, Ye Feng managed to complete twenty waves of the fan, all the windstorms layering upon each other to form a vortex sharper than a blade’s edge, carrying a terrifying force, and crashing into the Earth Demon.

“Not good!”

For the first time, the Earth Demon felt the threat of death.

Although it possessed the talent to resurrect after death, it was now restrained by the breaking magic ability of the Mini Banana Palm Fan. Once swallowed by the storm, it would not be able to resurrect.

However, just as the Earth Demon was about to flee, it found itself bound by some invisible force, its movements stiffened.

Whoosh!

The storm passed over the Earth Demon, turning it into a pile of ashes that could no longer resurrect. Then, the storm continued unabated, drilling a hole in the ground about a dozen meters in diameter and tens of meters deep.

Everyone who saw this was already immensely shocked.

It took a good while before Elder Yue managed to swallow and exclaimed in amazement, “Terrifying! Even the Earth Demon couldn’t resurrect after that beating, and the power of that last strike was terrifying, no less than the fifth level of the Element Gathering Realm.”

The eight disciples around quickly took a sharp intake of breath as if on cue.

On the flying boat.

Mo Ying let out a sigh of relief, secretly marveling at how formidable Ye Feng’s strength was, already comparable to a Sect Master of an ordinary One-star Sect.

“Sect Master Ye is amazing!” Yan Ruyu cheered jubilantly, her bright and clear eyes filled with admiration.

In the sky.

“Did I really do that?” Ye Feng looked down at the huge hole on the ground and then at the Mini Banana Palm Fan in his hand, and even he was stunned.

“Thank you, Immortal, for saving our lives!”

“Blessings upon the Immortal!”

The survivors of the Ancient Town of Quicksand kept thanking him, casting almost fanatical glances at Ye Feng, with some even bringing out pork heads to burn incense and kowtow.

Ye Feng looked down at them, his mouth twitching slightly as he thought to himself, I’m not dead, why are you burning incense to me?

“Everyone, rest assured, that demon has been dealt with by yours truly.” After a moment’s thought, Ye Feng spoke out loudly, his voice spreading throughout the entire ancient town.

“Thank you, Brother Ye, for saving our lives. I am ‘Yue Mu,’ an Outer Sect Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect. May I know which Sect our benefactor hails from?” Elder Yue, supported by eight disciples, took to the sky and asked Ye Feng with a cupped-fist salute.

“I am Ye Feng, Sect Leader of the Misty Sect.”

Initially, Ye Feng did not want to reveal his identity, but then he thought, having just showed off, how could he gain Prestige Points if he didn’t reveal his origins?

Thus, Ye Feng promptly introduced himself, his voice resonant, quickly spreading throughout the entire ancient town.

“Ding, Sect Prestige Value +3376.”

As expected, as soon as Ye Feng revealed his identity, Sect Prestige experienced a surge and continued to rise.

Not only that, Ye Feng also made a delightful discovery.

His Heroic Spirit Power had skyrocketed!

In just a few breaths’ time, the power of the Heroic Spirits had suddenly increased by fifty percent, and it was still climbing.

“So doing good deeds can also enhance the power of Heroic Spirits? I think I’ve stumbled upon a major secret!” Ye Feng was overjoyed in his heart.

“The Misty Sect?” Elder Yue Mu pondered for a long time but couldn’t recall where this sect came from. Since they had Ye Feng, who seemed like a mortal yet was unfathomably strong, they surely wouldn’t be inferior.

Perhaps, the Misty Sect was a secretive sect.

Considering this, Elder Yue Mu thanked him again, “I owe you my thanks, Sect Master Ye, for coming to our aid today. Had you not arrived in time, the consequences would’ve been unthinkable!”

“I was just passing by and saw something amiss, so I drew my sword to help; it’s nothing to make a fuss about,” Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively, with an air of “I want to keep a low profile.”

Elder Yue Mu floated in mid-air and instructed the eight disciples, “You go rebuild the Demon-locking Tower first.”

“Yes,” the eight disciples hurriedly descended.

Now, only Ye Feng and Elder Yue Mu were left high in the sky.

Looking at the ruins of the Demon-locking Tower, Ye Feng was quite puzzled, “I’ve heard that the Demon-locking Tower is specifically for suppressing High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beasts. For the Divine Wind Sword Sect, such creatures should be easily killed, so why suppress them?”

Elder Yue Mu showed a troubled expression and said, “This was arranged by the Great Elder; we just follow orders, and… there are some things that are inconvenient to disclose.”

“Ha ha, I was just asking casually.” Although curious about the significance of the Demon-locking Tower’s existence, Ye Feng felt it was wiser not to know, since it involved the Divine Wind Sword Sect’s Great Elder.

A moment later, Ye Feng looked to the sky and said, “It’s getting late, and I should be heading back as well. Farewell!”

“Sect Master Ye, wait!” Elder Yue Mu called out to Ye Feng.

“Is there something else?” Ye Feng asked.

“Did you receive an invitation to attend the sword acolyte’s coronation banquet held by our Divine Wind Sword Sect?” Elder Yue Mu inquired.

“The sword acolyte’s coronation banquet? Elder Yue must be referring to the one for Mu Ruxue! I met with her this very morning, but I haven’t received any invitation,” Ye Feng muttered.

“You know the sword acolyte?”

“Sort of.”

“Ha ha! Then that’s perfect. I have an invitation here for you, sincerely inviting Sect Master Ye to attend the sword acolyte’s coronation banquet that will be held in the middle of next month,” Elder Yue Mu took out an invitation with a golden cover that looked quite impressive.

“Isn’t this inappropriate? Even Mu Ruxue didn’t send me an invitation…”

Before Ye Feng could finish, Elder Yue Mu quickly explained, “Sect Master Ye, don’t worry, the invitations were hurriedly produced today. The sword acolyte left the sect last night, so naturally, there was no invitation.”

“Oh, I see!” Ye Feng promptly took the invitation, seeing this as a great opportunity to visit the Divine Wind Sword Sect. The main thing was the chance to eat and drink for free; how could he refuse?

“Sect Master Ye, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t see you off.”

“Goodbye!”

The two exchanged salutes in mid-air and then turned to leave.

Elder Yue Mu landed in front of the Demon-locking Tower and began tending to his injuries with peace of mind.

After Ye Feng left, he first stopped by the courtyard of the Quicksand Sect. Under the astonished gazes of Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding, he left behind a plate of grilled kidneys, and then, with a smile, he left.

“Sect Master, what’s the meaning behind leaving grilled kidneys?” Huo Yunjie shouted after the departing figure of Ye Feng.

Ye Feng couldn’t be bothered to answer and inwardly scoffed: Pretending to be clueless!

Baixue Ding, looking at the plate of grilled kidneys, bowed her head, her lips pursed, her face already flushed with embarrassment.

“It seems Sect Master Ye has misunderstood mine and Brother Huo’s relationship…” she murmured in her heart, unable to speak for a long time.

On the flying boat.

Ye Feng settled down and opened the invitation.

“Sect Master, what’s this?”

“Let me see!”

Mo Ying and Yan Ruyu immediately gathered around him.

“Elder Yue Mu has invited me to attend the sword acolyte’s coronation banquet held by the Divine Wind Sword Sect in the middle of next month,” Ye Feng explained.

“The coronation banquet for Mu Ruxue?” Mo Ying showed a look of surprise, remembering Shu Hongyu, and thought to herself that if Ye Feng really went, the two might meet.

“Sect Master, will there be good food?” Yan Ruyu asked expectantly. Ever since she opened the Ren and Du meridians in Sanyuan City, she had become quite the gourmand.

“Of course, there will be,” Ye Feng said with a smile.

“Then I want to go,” Yan Ruyu jumped joyfully on the flying boat.

“Each invitation can bring fifteen people; we don’t have many in the Misty Sect, so it’s no problem for all of us to go,” Ye Feng decided then that he would take all the disciples of the Misty Sect with him to the two-star event to broaden their horizons.

Before the conversation ended, the flying boat took off, soaring straight towards Misty Peak, and soon disappeared into the enticing night.
