Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 904
Chapter 904 On the Eve of the Exam
Ye Feng’s heart was filled with pride. He had never felt so happy before. The slaughter sword in his hand also let out an excited scream, as if Mu Bai was also fitting in. That sword strike just now had been extremely helpful to him.
“Alright, you’ve already mastered some of the profound truths of martial skills. In the future, your overall combat strength will increase by another step.”
Mu Bai appeared with a tone of admiration.
“If I encounter Tang Lei now, I can split his body with a single sword strike.”
Ye Feng was very confident that if he were to fight Tang Lei now, every sword could easily tear his body apart.
But when he thought of Tang Lei’s immortal body, Ye Feng could only sigh.
If he wanted to completely kill Tang Lei, he had to find out where his head was. Although his body was now normal, it was actually an evolved insect that could hide his real head elsewhere in his body.
After comprehending for a while, Ye Feng returned to the Tang Clan. Today was the last day. He packed his things and was ready to leave for Yellowstone City.
Before leaving, Tang Liangyun told him a lot about the rules of the Nei Clan Grand Competition.
The Tang Nei Clan spread throughout Qinli Middle Continent. Every year, the competition would be held. According to the region, the Fire City Tang Clan would be assigned to Yellowstone City. At that time, there would be 20 Tang Clans heading there together. Of the 20 clans, there would only be 30 spots. The competition was extremely fierce. On average, each clan would have fewer than two people.
The competition was fierce. One could imagine that no disciple of the Tang Clan of Fire City had been selected for three consecutive years. Nei Clan basically didn’t pay much attention to it. If this continued, it was estimated that they would have to die on their own in the future.
Yellowstone City was about three days away from Fire City. This was also a middle area. Twenty clans had chosen it together. This Yellowstone City was usually empty. The liveliest time of the year was naturally the gathering day of the Tang Clan’s Outer Clans.
On the day of their departure, the five women actually made a shocking decision. They planned to return to the Divine Continent of the Southern Domain to take a look. The last time Ya’er left, it greatly touched them, especially Hai’er, who planned to go back to see her father.
Ye Feng did not refuse their request. If he wanted to join Nei Clan, he probably did not have much time to accompany them. Returning to the Southern Divine Continent was also a good choice.
Originally, Ye Feng planned to let them go to Taiyi Sect first, but everyone refused. Taiyi Sect and the others did not want to go back. It had been almost three years since they came out, and they wanted to go back and take a look.
On the other hand, Lan Lan had gone to participate in the Lan Clan’s examination. On the eve of their departure, Ye Feng personally sent the five of them onto the Void Ship. With their current abilities, even if they encountered the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts, there was no need to be afraid.
Without the restraints of a few women, Ye Feng could do his own things better. After finding his father, Ye Feng was also prepared to return to the Southern Divine Continent to give his mother an explanation.
Although the women were reluctant to part, they knew that Ye Feng’s future was still a long way off. The reason why they had come to this point was because of Ye Feng, so they did not want to drag Ye Feng down.
How could Ye Feng not know what they were thinking, so he felt that he owed them too much. This time, they came to Qinli Middle Continent for Ye Feng, afraid of dragging them down, and resolutely joined the Taiyi Sect. Ye Feng knew very well how many hardships they had suffered and how many sins they had suffered.
“If nothing big happens within three years, I will definitely rush back!”
At the moment of his departure, Ye Feng made a promise. For xiuzhe, three years was only a short period of seclusion.
Seeing the Void Ship leave, Ye Feng returned to the Tang Clan. He calmed down and prepared for Nei Clan’s selection.
Ye Feng did not tell anyone about the women’s departure. He only revealed that they had returned to the Taiyi Sect. As for the rest, Ye Feng did not mention a single word. After all, his current identity could not be lost. Once he found out that he was from the Southern Divine Continent, he would probably be able to investigate all the details.
This time, there were a total of ten disciples from the Tang Clan participating in the Nei Clan Grand Competition. They were Ye Feng, Tang Lei, Tang Yan, Tang Shui, Tang Yu, Tang Jinyang, and Wang Hao. Wang Hao was also an outer disciple, just like Ye Feng, as well as Tang Xiao, Tang Yu, and Tang He. As disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall, their backgrounds were different.
Eight men and two women. These are the strongest disciples of the Tang Clan at present. Their ages are just right. If they are over thirty years old, they will not be able to participate in the Clan Examination.
When they were ready, there were twenty people on their way.
Leading the way was Tang Liangyun, while Tang Tian was behind the crowd. There were also a few clan deacons who were in charge of the daily meals on the way.
The journey was calm. There were no ups and downs. In another day, they would be able to enter Yellowstone City and undergo Nei Clan’s test. Only those who passed would have the chance to enter Nei Clan.
“There’s a small city ahead. Let’s rest for a while, and we’ll be on our way tomorrow!”
Tang Liangyun shouted. There was a small city not far from him. In previous years, they would always stay here and rest for a night.
After traveling for two days in a row, everyone was tired. Hearing that they could rest, more than a dozen people began to roar excitedly.
After entering the city, he discovered that there were already quite a few people stationed here.
“Oh, isn’t this Grand Patriarch Tang Tian? You’re too late. There’s no room inside. You can only stay outside today.”
This small city was very small. There were only two inns. The one speaking was a man about Tang Tian’s age. It seemed that he knew Tang Tian.
“Tang Lingfei, we’ve already arranged the inn. Don’t bother!”
Tang Tian’s tone wasn’t very good either, as if he had some hostile relations with Tang Lingfei.
“Ye Feng, you have to be careful of this Tang Lingfei. This person is very sinister. A few years ago, our Fire City Tang Clan was tricked by them a few times. Before the competition started, they provoked our Fire City Tang Clan. At that time, several potential seed disciples were injured and missed the Nei Clan exam.”
Tang Liangyun sent a voice transmission to Ye Feng, so he had to be careful of this person.
After tens of thousands of years of development, the bloodlines of the Tang Clan were already thin. The only reason they were still connected was that they were all surnamed Tang.
The moment Tang Lingfei appeared, Ye Feng felt a sense of hostility, especially the tens of Tang Clan disciples behind him. They all had powerful auras and looked at him with malicious gazes.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll see you in Yellowstone City!”
Without stopping, Tang Lingfei brought a group of people into one of the inns.
The Tang Clan in Fire City wasn’t far from the Tang Clan in Tang City. They had been fighting secretly these past few years. Everyone hoped that more people from their clan would enter Nei Clan.
Seeing Tang Lingfei leave, Tang Liangyun waved his hand and let everyone enter the inn.
“All of you, listen up. No matter what happens, don’t interfere. Just do your job well.”
Upon arriving at the designated courtyard, Tang Liangyun shouted loudly, telling the dozen or so people to restrain themselves. Their goal was to enter Nei Clan. Don’t interfere in other matters.
Everyone nodded. Of course, they knew of Elder Tang Liangyun’s kindness. Even Tang Lei restrained the cold expression on his face. However, along the way, Tang Lei spoke very little. It was estimated that no one in the clan was willing to communicate with him.
Seeing Elder Tang Liangyun leave, the remaining ten people relaxed.
“Do you know that there are several monstrous disciples from Tang Clan in Tang City? I estimate that several more people will be selected in the Nei Clan Examination this time.”
Tang Yu spoke a lot. After Tang Liangyun left, he began to become active.
“That’s right, especially Tang Xue. When he was fifteen years old, he had already advanced to the fourth level of the Divine Martial Arts. Now, he is estimated to have already reached the mid-fifth level of the Divine Martial Arts. He is only twenty years old.”
Everyone exchanged words. The one who spoke just now was Tang Shui.
‘”Tang Xue, I know that this person is Tang Lingfei’s grandson. He has an arrogant personality. I heard that he is easy to kill. Many people have died in his hands over the years.”
Tang Yu also interrupted. Obviously, she was no stranger to Tang Xue.
“The true core of the Tang Clan is not Tang Xue, but Tang Xuan!”
Tang Yan said slowly. Tang Xue was strong because she was so good at killing people. Her reputation was outside. True experts were disdainful of these false names.
These disciples had thoroughly investigated the background of the twenty clans in the past few months, knowing themselves and their enemies, winning a hundred battles and winning a hundred victories.
Everyone quickly went back to rest.
“Ye Feng, let’s go out for a walk. It’s very aggrieved to stay in the room!”
Tang He walked out and invited Ye Feng out for a walk. The room was very small and it was very depressing to stay inside.
“That’s exactly what I meant!”
Ye Feng also planned to go out for a walk. In this courtyard, dirty air was rampant. There had been no one to live in these years, and no one to clean them up. It was not suitable for living in this courtyard.
The two of them arrived outside the inn together, planning to find a place to drink some wine.
“Master, please spare me. My mother really needs this Purple Spirit Pearl to cure her illness!”
Just as the two of them left the inn, a tender voice sounded.
Hearing the pleading voice, Ye Feng and Tang He couldn’t help but frown. This voice was only a teenager, yet there was actually someone bullying them.
“You hurt me just now. Tell me what to do!”
On the west side of the street, there were quite a few onlookers. Three or five men in strong clothes stopped a teenage girl and didn’t let her leave.
A Young man lifted the girl up with a ferocious expression.
“Right … I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I’m in a hurry to go home and deliver medicine to my mother!”
When Young man mentioned it, the girl was very scared.
“I’m sorry. Hand over the Purple Spirit Pearl in your hand. I can consider letting you off once.”
Young man took a fancy to the Purple Spirit Pearl in the little girl’s hand. This was not a valuable item, it was just an ordinary material.
“No, this Purple Spirit Pearl is used to treat my mother’s illness.”
The girl hugged the Purple Spirit Pearl tightly in her arms and refused to let go.
“Since that’s the case, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
When Young man wanted to make a move, the spectators shook their heads one after another. There were people who sympathized with him, and there were people who sympathized with him. Who could not afford to offend these people?
After saying that, Young man’s big hand was about to slap the little girl’s face, and he could really do it.
“Stop!”
A loud shout appeared, interrupting Young man’s attack. Tang He couldn’t help but stop Young man from continuing to attack.
“Who was I at that time? So it was Fire City’s Tang He. You also wanted to interfere in this daddy’s affairs.”
When Young man saw the person, he threw the little girl out and looked at Tang He with a playful expression. The corner of his eyes even glanced at Ye Feng.
“Tang Lingnan, you’re not even letting go of a teenage girl. As a disciple of the Tang Family, I’m ashamed to be with you.”
Tang He also knew this person. Tang City’s Tang Clan disciples had met here last year. Unfortunately, they had all been eliminated.
