The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

“On what basis?”

“The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect has just recently broken through to the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm, he is brave and resourceful, and also very stable. I think he is the right candidate for Alliance Hierarch,” said Sect Master Ye Feng.

The leaders of the various sects expressed their dissent one after another.

“I think it’s possible.” The City Lord of Sanyuan City cast a vote of approval.

The expression of the Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect was not very pleasant.

The reason he agreed to the alliance was naturally to ascend to a higher position himself; however, the shameless Elder Qingyun claimed to be the strongest and sought to rise to power.

Ye Feng and the Deputy City Lord did not comment.

“Sect Master Ye, what do you think about this?” At this point, Yunhua Zhenren looked towards Ye Feng, “You managed to kill Souhun Zhenren with a single sword stroke, and your strength is obvious to all. You are also qualified to compete for the position of Alliance Hierarch.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze turned to Ye Feng.

The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect and Elder Qingyun were taken aback, almost forgetting that there was this troublesome person, Ye Feng, present.

But Elder Qingyun, confident in his own strength, sneered, “Just Souhun Zhenren, who was beaten by me in the past year to be left with only a remnant spirit, and his strength was more than halved. Otherwise, how could someone take advantage of his weakness?”

This statement clearly implied that without Elder Qingyun’s initial move, Ye Feng would not have been able to kill Souhun Zhenren.

Therefore, Ye Feng was just lucky, taking advantage of a situation.

The Deputy City Lord could no longer keep silent and said with a heavy tone, “Sect Master Ye’s strength is absolutely around the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm, not weaker than you, Elder Qingyun. Why do you publicly demean Sect Master Ye?”

“Then let’s fight!” Elder Qingyun revealed a cold smile.

“I am not interested in the position of Alliance Hierarch,” Ye Feng waved his hand, saying something that astonished everyone.

“Sect Master Ye …” The Deputy City Lord wanted to say more, but seeing Ye Feng wave his hand, he had to stop persuading.

In fact, Ye Feng did not think that Elder Qingyun was stronger than himself.

The sole reason he did not want to take up the position of Alliance Hierarch was that it was simply too bothersome. After all, there would definitely be many issues to deal with once he became the Alliance Hierarch.

Life as a salted fish would no longer exist.

Moreover, once he became the Alliance Hierarch, should he become a target of focused attacks by the Demon Race Army from Demon City, it would be rather bad.

“It seems Sect Master Ye also knows he is inferior in skill, so in that case, Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect, do you have anything else to say? How about we go outside and have a fight?” Elder Qingyun was very proud.

“This…” The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, “Forget it, since Elder Qingyun wants to be Alliance Hierarch, we might as well give up the position to him.”

“Humph, what do you mean by give up? I am assuming the position based on strength,” Elder Qingyun said triumphantly, sweeping his sleeve, he sat on the throne, “So now, all the fellow daoists present will be the Vice Alliance Hierarchs, and our Demon Subjugation Alliance is thus established!”

The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect curled his lips, “What does the Alliance Hierarch plan to do next?”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked towards Elder Qingyun.

Elder Qingyun glanced around, his eyes landing on Ye Feng, and said, “Firstly, we need to scout out the enemy’s intelligence to know the next move of the Demon Race, for better anticipation and defense. Among all the Vice Alliance Hierarchs present, Vice Alliance Hierarch Ye, as the Chosen One, no one can discern your cultivation level. I propose that Sect Master Ye personally go to Demon City to scout out the enemy situation.”

Upon these words, the crowd was in an uproar.

Go to Demon City to scout out the enemy situation?

Isn’t this basically a suicide mission?

Oh, right!

Elder Qingyun seems displeased with Sect Master Ye; he must be intentionally trying to trap him!

Everyone present was wise to Elder Qingyun’s cunning plan and cast disdainful glances at him.

However, the issue was that scouting the enemy was indeed very important, and Ye Feng, being the only Chosen One among the people present, appeared no different from a mortal, indeed making him the most suitable candidate for infiltrating Demon City. Thus, other people also felt that Elder Qingyun’s plan was logical.

But the risk of infiltrating Demon City was too great!

They would be reluctant to go themselves.

“I object!” Ye Feng immediately stood up.

To ask him to go to Demon City?

That must be a joke!

To this, Ye Feng was utterly unwilling, and moreover, he was quite displeased with Elder Qingyun’s arrangement. This was just the beginning of his rule, and he was already being set up; what would happen in the future?

This damned Demon Subjugation Alliance, better not to stay!

“Insolent, I am the Alliance Hierarch, do you dare to disobey orders?” Elder Qingyun unleashed the aura of the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm, like a myriad of heavy waves, pressing towards Ye Feng.

“I, Ye Feng, am leaving the alliance!”

Ye Feng extended his left hand, and the Wind Element Spirit Pearl appeared in his palm. His augmented Heroic Spirit Power formed a shield, blocking Elder Qingyun’s momentum.

Then, he walked out!

“Don’t be rash, Sect Master Ye!” Yunhua Zhenren and the Deputy City Lord of Whitefloat City quickly stood up and called out.

“Leaving the alliance? Ha, the Demon Subjugation Alliance is not a place where you can come and go as you please.” Elder Qingyun finally seized the opportunity to make a move, laughing loudly as he reached towards Ye Feng with one hand.

“Get lost!”

Ye Feng abruptly gathered the strength of his flesh and Heroic Spirit Power in his fist, like a massive boulder crashing towards Elder Qingyun.

Boom!

Elder Qingyun was sent flying, crashing into the hard black iron wall, forming a three-inch-deep human-shaped indentation.

“If you want to fight, then come outside,” Ye Feng said, then soared into the sky, heading toward the heights above the Underground Ancient City.

“You dare to challenge the Alliance Hierarch, are you trying to seize power? Very well!” Elder Qingyun immediately chased after him.

The rest of the people looked at each other.

“What should we do?”

“Follow, of course!”

Before their words had even finished, everyone flew off in pursuit.

Above a dense primeval forest.

Ye Feng and Elder Qingyun faced each other from a distance of tens of meters.

The Deputy City Lord and the elders of the Liuyun Sect stood at a distance to watch the fight, discussing heatedly amongst themselves.

“Do you think Sect Master Ye can win?”

“Not very likely. After all, although that old man from Qingyun is domineering and petty—extremely unlikable—he has perfected the ‘Green Cloud Sword Technique’ to the third level, Perfection. He can unleash Sword Qi just with his hands; how can Sect Master Ye possibly defend against that?”

“That’s not good at all!”

Everyone showed a look of concern.

Aside from the City Lord of Sanyuan City, no other Sect Leader was very willing to be at the beck and call of Qingyun Zhenren. They all hoped Ye Feng would win.

“Ye Feng, I’ve been displeased with you for a long time. Today, we settle our new grudges and old ones!” Qingyun Zhenren said in a suppressed voice.

“I acknowledge the new grudge, but what old grudge?” Ye Feng suddenly laughed. “Could it be because your Qingyun Sect’s disciples couldn’t defeat our Misty Sect’s disciples, and you’ve harbored a grudge? No way, could there really be someone that petty? Hahaha!”

Since he had already offended the other party, Ye Feng decided to add fuel to the flame.

If it wouldn’t anger him to death, then he’d anger him to the brink of it!

“Shut up!” Qingyun Zhenren bellowed in rage.

He was indeed petty and narrow-minded. From a young age, he often fought over trivial matters. After becoming the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, he restrained himself somewhat, but was still very narrow-minded, unable to tolerate the slightest slight.

Once, an elder had told Qingyun Zhenren during an excursion: “If you do not change your character and become more magnanimous, it will become a Heart Demon for you, preventing you from ever breaking through to the seventh layer of the Element Gathering Realm.”

This remark had greatly angered Qingyun Zhenren.

“Take this, Qingyun Sword Qi!”

As Qingyun Zhenren formed a sword with his fingers and pointed at Ye Feng, a blinding sword light instantly streaked across the sky, slicing even the trees on the ground in half.

Ye Feng said nothing, but in a flash, he waved the Mini Banana Palm Fan 22 times to block the sword light.

“The power of the Mini Banana Palm Fan is starting to fall behind…”

Ye Feng noticed that the force of that last fan was weaker than Qingyun Zhenren’s Sword Qi, almost reaching the limit of the fan.

This meant that if he faced stronger enemies in the future, the Mini Banana Palm Fan would be nearly useless.

Just like the Spirit Origin Clock before, once Ye Feng’s strength entered the Element Gathering Realm, he had stopped using it.

“Sigh, it seems I ultimately need to change weapons,” Ye Feng lamented.

“He actually blocked it!” Qingyun Zhenren, noticing that Ye Feng had stopped his Qingyun Sword Qi with a single fan, was instantly infuriated.

“Break for me!”

Qingyun Zhenren used both hands to form sword fingers, releasing a barrage of sharp Sword Qi at Ye Feng. In an instant, dozens of strikes headed towards Ye Feng.

“That fierce?” Ye Feng quickly dodged.

Boom, boom, boom!

Qingyun Sword Qi struck the ground, causing numerous deep pits in the primeval forest, as if struck by a barrage of meteors.

“This is not good, Sect Master Ye is constantly being pressured,” the Deputy City Lord said with a worried expression and shouted, “Sect Master Ye, quickly use your Sword Drawing Technique!”

Ye Feng, while dodging, muttered, “Do you think the Sword Drawing Technique is something I can use whenever I want? If it doesn’t hit, I lose. But if it does hit, Qingyun Zhenren is finished on the spot.”

At present, the two were merely sparring.

As for a fight to the death, it was far from reaching that extent.

Moreover, if Qingyun Zhenren were slain, the Human Race’s power would weaken, making it even less likely to be a match for Demon City.

“Break for me!”

Qingyun Zhenren, utterly unconcerned about the depletion of his True Yuan, released Qingyun Sword Qi with both hands continuously, faster and faster, until the air in front of him was filled with thick dust, gradually obscuring the view.

But those seated were all Element Gathering Realm experts who possessed Spiritual Sense, and with a simple sweep, they could see through the fog and spot Ye Feng, who was continuously dodging.

As for Qingyun Zhenren, he stood high in the sky, relentlessly discharging Sword Qi like a human-shaped cannon.

Though each strand of Sword Qi wasn’t very powerful, their relentless assault was unstoppable.

“If this were aimed at a city and continuously bombarded, in no time at all, the whole city would become ruins. Truly worthy of being Qingyun Zhenren.”

“This guy is too strong.”

“Humph, futile efforts. Haven’t you noticed that Sect Master Ye has been dodging the whole time? In my opinion, he’s definitely waiting for Qingyun Zhenren to exhaust his strength before striking back.”

The assembled Sect Leaders discussed animatedly.

In their view, although the enraged Qingyun Zhenren was fierce, he couldn’t hit Ye Feng. Even if he could suppress Ye Feng for now, if he overexerted himself, the outcome was unpredictable.

Ye Feng kept on dodging, contemplating a countermeasure.

If it were a life-and-death battle, he could have used the Sword Drawing Technique combined with the Wind Element Spirit Energy to slay Qingyun Zhenren.

But now, he was instead restrained.

“I’ve got it—restraint!”

Ye Feng’s eyes brightened as his left hand trembled slightly.

Three strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy within the Wind Spirit Pearl silently decreased by one strand.

“Ye Feng, coward, aren’t you daring to fight? Let me tell you the truth, my True Yuan is still abundant. I could keep bombarding for six hours with no trouble!” Qingyun Zhenren laughed triumphantly.

“He can last that long?” The Sect Leaders’ expressions changed.

The next moment, a glowing rope suddenly appeared around Qingyun Zhenren, instantly tying him up like a zongzi.

“What kind of spell is this?” Qingyun Zhenren found the light rope binding him to be exceptionally tough; even with the pressure of the sixth layer of the Element Gathering Realm, he couldn’t break free.

“Qingyun Zhenren has actually been tied up!”

“Sect Master Ye still had this trick up his sleeve?”

The crowd was shocked.

Becoming able to restrain Qingyun Zhenren, it meant that Ye Feng could also restrain them. With this thought, they couldn’t help but cast wary glances at Ye Feng.

“It’s over,” Ye Feng declared, raising his fist, enveloped in formidable strength, and accurately smashing it into Qingyun Zhenren’s face.

Bang!

Qingyun Zhenren crashed to the ground like a meteor, half of his face swollen like a pig’s head, the corner of his mouth, dripping with a trace of blood, still trembling, as he lay in a deep pit with a life-reassessment expression, silently gazing up at the sky.
