The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

“Brother Flathead, stop fighting!” Jia Yulan hastily called out to him, “We’ve made an important discovery and need to return to Misty Peak immediately for the Sect Leader to decide on the next steps. Let’s not worry about anything else for now.”

Upon hearing it was related to Ye Feng, Brother Flathead snorted hot air from his nose, displeased, and hopped onto the back of the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle.

“Father, mother, we have urgent matters at the Sect and will come back when we’re free,” Li Jiaojiao said with an apologetic expression as she explained the situation.

“After going to all the trouble of making your bed, can’t you stay one more night?” Li Jiaojiao’s mother felt it was very abrupt and somewhat disappointed.

Li Jiaojiao’s father, however, was very understanding and said, “Our daughter has grown up and has her things to do. We shouldn’t hold her back.”

“Thank you for understanding, father!” Li Jiaojiao’s nose tingled with emotion as she pulled Jia Yulan along, picked up Little White Fox, and disappeared into the night under the watchful eyes of the entire village.

Before long, the children woke up.

“What happened to you in the mountains?” the old village chief asked them cordially, as he caught them.

“A monster wanted to eat us, but the fairy sister fought it off and saved us,” the children said in unison.

At these words, Qingling Village’s reverence toward Li Jiaojiao grew even stronger.

Tens of thousands of miles away.

In the midst of an immensely bustling city.

Inside a majestic hall, a man in distinctive clothing opened his eyes, revealing a broken jade pendant in his palm.

With a furrowed brow, the man extended his index finger to his forehead and sent out a special wave of Divine Sense, “Han San has fallen. Go check the Taiyue Mountain Range. The control over the Miniature Cave Heaven World is still in my hands, which means the assailant’s power is below mine. Nevertheless, be cautious.”

“Han San is dead?”

Hundreds of miles away, a middle-aged man placed his index finger on his forehead, his brow furrowed as he received the message, “Even though that kid was only at the Third Order Peak, there aren’t many strong figures near Taiyue Mountain Range. How did he die?”

“It’s unclear for now. Go take a look and be careful,” the man in distinctive clothing reminded him.

“Understood.” The middle-aged man nodded and walked out of a mansion.

“Master, are you going out this late?” A person dressed like a butler approached and asked.

“Han Er,” disguised as the middle-aged man, coldly glared at the butler, his pupils flashing with a cold light. His mouth gradually widened, turning into a shark’s maw. In the terrified gaze of the butler, he swallowed him in one gulp.

“Such a nuisance!”

Han Er resumed his middle-aged man disguise, wiped the corner of his mouth, and flew towards the Taiyue Mountain Range at the fastest speed.

Atop Misty Peak.

“Jiaxi, how is your frog leap coming along?”

“Reporting to Sect Leader, I have leaped a thousand times, my legs feel full of strength. Another two thousand times and I should break through the Fourth Layer of Body Refinement,” Qiao Jiaxi replied.

“Well done, here’s a roast lamb leg as a reward!”

Watching Qiao Jiaxi, famished, wolf down the roast lamb leg, Ye Feng smiled slightly, then turned his head, only to see the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle arriving from the distance, which surprised him.

A short while later, Li Jiaojiao and Jia Yulan landed on the peak.

“Why are you back so soon?” asked Ye Feng.

Li Jiaojiao quickly explained, “Sect Leader, we encountered someone who claimed to be from the Divine Race in the Taiyue Mountain Range, with a terrifying appearance. They possessed something akin to Heroic Spirit Power, this Divine Sense Power, and were unpredictable…”

Jia Yulan didn’t waste any time either, until she’s taking out Han San’s diary.

As Ye Feng listened to Li Jiaojiao’s account and flipped through the diary, his expression gradually became more solemn.

“Based on your deductions, the Divine Race sent three experts to Mystique Kingdom, and aside from the fallen Han San, the remaining are at the Fifth Order and Sixth Order Peak. But now, three years have passed, and Han Yi and Han Er’s strengths must have grown stronger,” Ye Feng finished, causing Li Jiaojiao and Jia Yulan’s faces to suddenly pale.

“If that Sixth Order Peak Divine Race member has advanced to the Seventh Order, wouldn’t that be equivalent to the Spirit Sea Realm? Unless a Two-Star Rank force intervenes, who can stand against them?” Jia Yulan clenched her fists, feeling an unprecedented fear.

“Let’s first head to Taiyue Mountain Range and take a look,” Ye Feng didn’t waste any time, and with Jia Yulan and Li Jiaojiao, he soared into the sky.

Brother Flathead immediately followed after them.

Catching a glimpse of Brother Flathead’s disheveled appearance, Ye Feng could guess without asking that he must have been fighting again, which made him feel somewhat helpless.

The group traveled swiftly.

After half a stick of incense had burned, they arrived at Taiyue Mountain Range and stood on the edge of a meteor crater.

Watching the meteorite emitting a faint blue glow, Ye Feng reached out to touch it, his body quickly shrinking within a shroud of light and entering the inner space.

Ye Feng stood beside a pond and asked calmly, “System, what is this place?”

“A Miniature Cave Heaven World, crafted from special materials and inscribed with a Miniature Cave-Heaven Array. The interior space is a hundred times larger, considered a rather low-level artificial Cave Heaven world method,” the System explained.

Ye Feng looked around and nodded silently.

From the outside, the meteorite that housed the Miniature Cave Heaven World was about three meters long, while the interior was two hundred meters long. Including the wall thickness, the proportions were indeed a hundredfold expansion.

Yet, the System called such a vast inner space low-level!

“Usually, a tenfold ratio is the lowest, a hundredfold comes next, but is also the most widely applied. The lower-grade storage rings gifted by the Sect Leader to the three disciples all reached a ratio of one to a thousand; only those are considered to be of superior quality,” the System further clarified.

Hearing this, Ye Feng thought for a moment and felt it made sense.

Items like Jia Yulan’s storage belt or the storage bags and bracelets sold in the market, commonly had a hundredfold ratio.

“How can I move this meteorite?” Ye Feng asked.

Since he had already clashed with the Divine Race, he might as well go all out with a ‘home robbery’ to drive them to despair.

“There are two methods. One is to contain it within a larger or higher-grade storage space. The other is to break the core of the array, erasing the former owner’s mark and becoming the new master of the meteorite,” the System suggested.

“I’ll choose the first one…no wait, this meteorite must belong to the Sixth Order Peak expert from the diary. Even if I take it away, I might still be tracked through the mark. The second option is the safest,” Ye Feng thought to himself. “But I don’t understand formations, how am I supposed to break the core of the array?”

“Ding, spending money makes you stronger! Upon detection, this is a Miniature Cave Heaven Array, using 1,000 Prestige Points will decipher the array and grasp the method to set up this formation,” the System prompted.

The corner of Ye Feng’s mouth twitched as he thought the System was getting cheekier, almost deserving a new name like the “Spend Money to Become Stronger System.”

Nevertheless, to quickly handle the meteorite, Ye Feng still opened the Prestige Points panel and saw the following:

[Sect Prestige Value: 26751]

[Remaining Exchangeable Amount: 26451]

“I’ve already got over twenty-six thousand Prestige Points, not a bad increase. System, spend a thousand Prestige Points, I want to break the core of this array.”

“Ding, 1,000 Prestige Points consumed, 25,451 remaining in exchangeable amount.”

The next moment, a stream of wondrous information flowed into his mind. Ye Feng instantly learned the method of setting up the Miniature Cave Heaven Array and its details. Given adequate materials, he could even construct a brand new formation on site.

“Wonderful!” Ye Feng cheered inwardly.

Right then, Li Jiaojiao and Jia Yulan had just arrived behind Ye Feng and asked, “Sect Leader, are you unable to take away this meteorite?”

“Who said I can’t take it?”

Ye Feng smiled, activated his Spirit Eyes, and according to the information in his mind, he walked fifteen meters in a certain direction and dug ten meters down to find a jade stele half a meter high and wide, sparkling and translucent.

“What is this?”

The two disciples were astonished.

They had observed for so long but didn’t know something like this was hidden underground, and yet, Ye Feng had uncovered a significant discovery shortly upon his arrival, truly worthy of being the Sect Leader.

“This is the core of the formation,” Ye Feng said.

Through Spirit Eyes, Ye Feng saw the Array Patterns within the jade stele, also spotted the mark left by Han Yi, and quickly drew out a Spirit Sword. With the power of the Heroic Spirits, he carefully inscribed a counter-Array Pattern on the surface of the stele.

Drip!

As Ye Feng exerted all his strength to cut his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the counter-Array Pattern, the mark left by Han Yi instantly dissipated like a wisp of black smoke, and Ye Feng’s mark took the opportunity to Refine the stele and took control of the Miniature Cave Heaven Array.

“Success!” Ye Feng exclaimed with a smile.

Tens of thousands of miles away, County King City.

“Not good! The array has been deciphered; the opponent’s strength is definitely above mine, very likely a Spirit Sea Realm Expert of the Human Race. Han Er is in danger!” Han Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

He promptly pressed his index finger to his brow and sent out a pulse of Divine Sense, “Han Er, the opponent is strong, don’t go… Oh no, this guy is already beyond the range of Divine Sense transmission, it’s over!”

Han Yi abruptly stood up, his face turning pale.

“No, I can’t go!”

“Han San has fallen, Han Er is likely to fall as well if he goes. I can’t take any more risks; should I fall too, how would I complete the mission given by the Divine Spirit?”

With these thoughts, Han Yi sat back down with a grim face, pulled out a thick diary, turned to page 1111, and wrote:

“My mark left in the Miniature Cave Heaven World has been broken, indicating the opponent is very strong. Han San has fallen, and Han Er, who went to scout, is likely to fall as well. I can’t go; I must preserve a living force!”

“Han Er, forgive me!”
