Feeling his Prestige Points steadily rising, Ye Feng was very happy.
“Killing demons and accumulating Prestige Points at the same time, it’s simply wonderful!”
Thinking this, Ye Feng punched the head of the Shale Catfish Monster, causing its bones to burst and its strength to fade. He then said to the disciples, “Check if there are any other lurking demonic beasts.”
“Yes.”
Mo Ying and others immediately began to search the orchard.
Some low-level Qi Refinement practitioners, upon seeing Ye Feng effortlessly burst the rock-hard scales with a punch, widened their eyes in amazement.
“Isn’t the Sect Leader of the Misty Sect a mortal?”
“No, he must be a Body Cultivator.”
“No wonder!”
Before long, the disciples had searched the orchard and confirmed that there was no second demon.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Feng grabbed the Shale Catfish Monster by its tail and dragged it to an open area nearby.
More and more townsfolk witnessed this scene and gave Mo Ying and her group a thumbs-up.
In a short span of time, the Sect Prestige Value rose from 507 to 648, which delighted Ye Feng immensely.
“Everybody, don’t worry. The demon that was causing trouble in the dry well has been dealt with by us; you can now freely enter and exit that orchard,” Ye Feng announced to the people around him.
“Thank you, Immortal Masters of the Misty Sect!”
The townsfolk in the vicinity expressed their gratitude one after another.
Soon after, Ye Feng dealt a killing blow to the Shale Catfish Monster, harvested its valuable materials, and divided the remaining half among the citizens of Five-Colors City, earning several dozen more Prestige Points, pushing the total to 700.
The last part naturally became food for the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle.
“Old sir, are there any other places nearby in need of demon extermination?” Ye Feng inquired of an old man missing a front tooth.
“There’s a bamboo forest five miles to the east of the city, and a quarry three miles outside the southern city gate…” The old man listed several places.
At that moment, a portly man with a horseshoe mustache interjected, “I heard that a new Spirit Mine has emerged in the Nanlu Mountain Range, but demonic beasts are lurking there. Many Immortal Masters went but were all driven away.”
“A Spirit Mine?”
Ye Feng and the other disciples exchanged looks, all seeing the surprise and joy in each other’s eyes.
A Spirit Mine could include Spirit Stone mines, material mines, etc.
Every Spirit Mine was worth its weight in gold, and gaining even a little from it could sustain an entire sect for a long period.
“The Spirit Mine can wait; first, let’s deal with the monsters causing chaos around Five-Colors City. Afterwards, we’ll gather in the city center,” Ye Feng began to lay out the plan while the disciples listened attentively.
In the following hour, the ten disciples of the Misty Sect were split into three groups.
Mo Ying, with Shi Lei and Li Jiaojiao, headed to the bamboo forest five miles east of Five-Colors City to slay a Green Serpent Demon that devoured passersby.
Huo Yunjie took Long Tianxing, Ouyang Feng, and Ouyang Yu to the quarry three miles outside the southern city gate to kill a pig demon that was rampaging about.
Jia Yulan, with Xia He and Qiu Ju, went to the river four miles north of the city to eliminate a water demon causing trouble.
As for Ye Feng, he went alone to the abandoned Goulan in the northwest direction of Five-Colors City. After sitting there for a while, he suddenly sensed a fragrant breeze behind him and promptly turned around to strike with a punch.
Bang!
A woman dressed in a red skirt, floating above the ground, was knocked back several meters. Her mature and enchanting face was full of astonishment.
“No wonder even the Deputy City Lord has recommended Sect Master Ye to me. It turns out you are a one-in-a-million Body Cultivator,” the woman in the red skirt said with an alluring smile.
“Nishang Palace Master… what are you doing here?”
Ye Feng, upon recognizing the newcomer, was taken aback.
He had heard this abandoned Goulan was haunted by a female demon—elusive and usually not even a ninth level Qi Refiner could handle her.
Therefore, Ye Feng thought it best to station himself here as the handsome representative of Misty Sect and lure out the cautious female demon.
Just now, a fragrant breeze had drifted from behind him, and Ye Feng naturally assumed the Goulan Snake Demon had appeared, so he turned and struck.
Unexpectedly, his opponent turned out to be the Nishang Palace Master!
Ye Feng found that behind the Nishang Palace Master, there were two middle-aged women with well-maintained appearances holding wooden staffs, and behind them were dozens of young women dressed in red skirts.
Each one had fair skin, beautiful faces and long legs, with a red plum mark on their foreheads, adding a touch more charm.
“Indeed a group of stunning beauties!” Ye Feng’s eyes lit up, he thought to himself.
He had previously heard the Nishang Palace Master boast about having hundreds of beautiful disciples, and he had thought it was an exaggeration, but now, he was a believer.
The Nishang Palace Master gave a slight smile and said,
“I heard there was a demon causing trouble here, so I personally led my disciples to eliminate the demon, but I did not expect to find Sect Master Ye here as well.”
“Does a ninth-level Qi Refining female demon really require such grand preparations?” Ye Feng mused, sensing that the Nishang Palace Master had another agenda.
Roaring winds!
A dark cloud appeared out of nowhere above Five-Colors City, obscuring the noon sun, and the area where the Goulan Ruins were located suddenly turned gloomy, as if something terrifying was about to be born.
“Form up!”
The Nishang Palace Master pointed at the sky and commanded.
The two middle-aged women with staffs immediately dispersed, each standing at the south and north sides of the Goulan Ruins, thirty meters apart.
The other dozens of female disciples also started moving into position, standing in various locations while continuously forming hand seals.
To Ye Feng’s surprise, everyone except for the Nishang Palace Master began emanating bright light and complex luminous patterns, forming a semi-spherical light barrier with a radius of a hundred meters that covered the Goulan Ruins.
“Truant disciple, won’t you show yourself?”
The Nishang Palace Master suddenly scolded.
At her voice, the winds and clouds shifted, the ground started to fracture, and numerous streams of black qi emerged from the cracks, materializing into a red-clothed woman with disheveled long hair.
“This person is actually a disciple from Nishang Palace?” Ye Feng stood in the middle of the formation, completely dumbfounded.
“Hahaha!”
The red-clothed woman suddenly burst into laughter, “Palace Master, I only took the Five Elements Spirit Bead. Was there a need to mobilize everyone, including two Elders and all my junior sisters, to capture me?”
“Hand over the Five Elements Spirit Bead, and I can spare your life,” the Nishang Palace Master waved her sleeve grandly and said.
“Palace Master, I have already refined the Five Elements Spirit Bead; it’s impossible to return it to you. And… with this item of Middle Grade spiritual grade, I might not necessarily be weaker than you!”
The red-clothed woman opened her mouth and spat out a thumb-sized red treasure bead, emitting a heavy aura that even Ye Feng could feel putting him under great pressure.
“Is this a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact?”
Ye Feng’s eyes flashed.
Spiritual Artifacts were categorized as Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, and Supreme Grade, and designed for use in the Qi Refining Realm, Element Gathering Realm, and Spirit Sea Realm respectively.
Typically, a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact belonged to those qualified in the Element Gathering Realm, far surpassing the power of Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts, containing much more mysterious abilities.
“You actually used the Five Elements Spirit Bead to devour the souls of so many innocent beings; you’re courting death!” the Nishang Palace Master bellowed angrily, her almond eyes glaring as she loudly ordered, “Disciples of Nishang Palace, heed my command and subdue this transgressor!”
“Yes.”
The female disciples of Nishang Palace responded in unison, their delicate voices carrying far and wide, attracting the attention of the entire city.
Outside the city to the east, north, and south, Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Jia Yulan, and the other disciples had already slain the rampaging demons and turned back to see the commotion at the city center.
“This is bad, the Sect Leader seems to be there!”
“Could it be that people from other Sects have made a move against the Sect Leader?”
“Hurry, we must go to assist!”
The disciples’ heartbeats quickened as they rushed back towards the commotion.
