As the strong wind and sand swept across, Mo Ying and the others were forced to retreat over a dozen steps.

The Third Elder of the Liuyun Sect even rolled on the ground a few times, spilling more thoroughly after hitting his forehead on a passing reef.

“Elder!”

Three disciples leaped forward, helped the Third Elder up, and quickly formed hand seals, releasing a Spirit Light Shield in front to block the wind and sand.

On the other side, the intense battle between Ye Feng and the Black Patterned Serpent Demon had reached its climax.

“Hiss!”

The Black Patterned Serpent Demon exhaled a noxious breath, trying to suffocate Ye Feng to death, then constrict his body attempting to strangle him.

But at the critical moment, Ye Feng summoned the Spirit Origin Clock, and with a “dong”, smashed the Black Patterned Serpent Demon’s head, causing it to bleed and finally breaking its defense.

“Such a powerful Spiritual Artifact!”

The Black Patterned Serpent Demon exclaimed in shock.

“Great opportunity!”

Mo Ying controlled the Breeze-riding Sword, stabbing it into the wound of the Black Patterned Serpent Demon.

Xin Guangxuan, Dong Qiang, and Pang Haiyun, the three Sect Disciples, also reacted swiftly, thrusting their three Spirit Swords into the demon’s wound simultaneously.

“Damn it!”

The Black Patterned Serpent Demon swept the four swords away with its tail, shook its body, and escaped onto the river surface, blood flowing from its head, looking ghastly.

“It’s still not dead?” Dong Qiang stared, his small eyes filled with astonishment.

“Although the outer skin of the Black Patterned Serpent Demon is breached, its bones are still very solid, Lower Grade Flying Swords simply cannot penetrate them,” Xin Guangxuan said gravely.

“I have memorized your scents, wait until I ascend to Demon General, I will make sure you pay!” The Black Patterned Serpent Demon transformed into a humanoid form with a serpent’s tail, left behind a fierce threat, and immediately dived into the water, disappearing without a trace.

Xin Guangxuan and the others heaved a sigh of relief, looking gratefully at Ye Feng as they clasped their hands and said, “Fellow Daoist, thank you for just now.”

After speaking, their faces turned somewhat red.

Especially when recalling how he had told Ye Feng not to worry about the Xieguang Stronghold Leader in his presence previously, he felt extremely awkward and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

“Cough cough, it was nothing!” Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively.

Roar!

Suddenly, from the depths of the dense forest several miles away from the shore, the roar of the Dual-winged Giant Crocodile and the Fanged Mad Pig sounded, vibrating everyone’s eardrums.

“Fellow Daoist, we are heading to Whitefloat City in the west. If it’s on your way, perhaps you’d like to board our flying boat?” Xin Guangxuan offered an invitation to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was about to refuse, but he noticed that due to the previous battle, his black veil bamboo hat had been shattered, revealing his face to the Liuyun Sect disciples.

There was no longer a need to hide his identity.

More importantly, taking the flying boat would also save him a few Spirit Stones in travel expenses!

“We are also heading to Whitefloat City, it’s on our way.” Ye Feng jumped onto the flying boat, while Mo Ying followed silently without a word.

Whoosh!

The flying boat avoided the battle range of the two Peak Demon Generals and flew towards Whitefloat City at the fastest speed.

Ye Feng discovered that the speed of the flying boat was much faster than when standing on a Flying Sword. The key was being able to sit and drink tea comfortably.

After some conversation, Ye Feng learned that the Third Elder of the Liuyun Sect had received an invitation to bring Xin Guangxuan and the other three Inner Sect Disciples to Whitefloat City to attend the Demon Slaying Conference.

Upon arriving at Beacon Fire City, the Third Elder of the Liuyun Sect had then sent Xin Guangxuan and the others to eliminate nearby evil forces to practice their skills, hence their involvement in destroying Xieguang Stronghold’s mountain head.

As for the Third Elder, he was injured and fell into unconsciousness in an attempt to profit from a battle between the Fanged Mad Pig and the Dual-winged Giant Crocodile by sneaking up on them.

“By the way, I forgot to ask for your esteemed name and the Sect you hail from,” Xin Guangxuan asked with clasped hands.

“Ye Feng, Sect Master of the Misty Sect, and this is Mo Ying, my fourth Disciple,” Ye Feng replied.

“So, you’re Sect Master Ye, my apologies for the oversight.” After speaking, Xin Guangxuan and the other two Liuyun Sect disciples exchanged glances, finding themselves also puzzled.

To the trio from the Liuyun Sect, Ye Feng’s strength seemed so formidable he must belong to a High Ranked Sect, but they recalled there wasn’t a high ranked Sect called “Misty Sect” around Whitefloat City.

Could it be a recent addition?

The three of them could only think this way.

At this moment, Ye Feng recalled the “Rebel” Xiao Fangu, who had taken the Xuan Ye Flying Sword from the Misty Sect when he left.

Ye Feng had always remembered this incident, and thus he asked, “Do the three of you know about Qingyun Sect?”

“Of course, we know it. Qingyun Sect is a One-star Sect located deep in the Qingyun Mountain Range. It’s said that their auxiliary cultivation method is the ‘Green Cloud Sword Technique,’ specializing in Sword Qi, which gives them a very high combat power,” Pang Haiyun explained proactively, her voice as gentle as she was.

“Oh, I see!” Ye Feng suddenly understood.

He figured out why Xiao Fangu had taken the Xuan Ye Flying Sword and fled—after all, the Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect specialized in Sword Dao, and not having a sword would not do.

However, this was by no means a justification for Xiao Fangu to take away what rightly belonged to the Misty Sect’s property!

“When my strength is about right, I’ll go and take back the Xuan Ye Flying Sword,” Ye Feng thought to himself.

Pang Haiyun asked with a smile, “Is there anything else you would like to ask, Sect Master Ye?”

“How strong is the Qingyun Sect?” Ye Feng inquired.

“It is said that they have nine Great Elders, all in the Element Gathering Realm, and their real-person Sect Master has reached the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm. He is considered a top-tier power in our Southern River Basin,” Pang Haiyun said.

Ten Element Gathering Realm…quite fierce!

Ye Feng’s heart shuddered.

Nevertheless, the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect was only at the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm—on the level of forty or so Brother Flatheads, not as strong as the Fanged Mad Pig or the Dual-winged Giant Crocodile.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt confident again.

Then, Ye Feng continued with his indirect questioning, garnering a lot of information.

For instance, to be promoted to a Star-Level Sect, besides the Sect Leader having to reach the third level of the Element Gathering Realm, a certain number of Spiritual Artifacts were required, as well as foundational infrastructures such as an Alchemy Pavilion, Artifact-refining Pavilion, Spirit Beast Pavilion, and Sect Protection Array.

It could be said that a One-star Sect was thoroughly equipped in every aspect, vastly surpassing that of a High Ranked Sect, and the two were hardly comparable.

After more than half an hour.

The flying boat landed at the peak of Misty Peak.

“Is this the Misty Sect?”

Xin Guangxuan looked at the plaque hanging on the gate with “Misty Sect” three large characters on it, noticing an old, willow leaf-shaped mark in the lower right corner of the name.

A Lower Rank Sect!

A Sect led by a Sect Leader capable of contending with a “half-transformed” Black Patterned Serpent Demon was merely considered Lower Rank?

Xin Guangxuan and the other two disciples were stunned.

In their view, the Misty Sect should at least be a High Ranked Sect, if not a Top Middle Rank Sect.

Yet, it turned out to be Lower Rank!

However, the three disciples felt no disdain in their hearts, as Ye Feng was their lifesaver.

“The Sect Leader has returned!”

At this time, Li Jiaojiao came running out with Long Tianxing, her eyes full of surprise upon seeing the magnificent flying boat.

“These are disciples from Liuyun Sect. The one lying down is their Third Elder, who fell into unconsciousness due to certain events,” Ye Feng introduced to his disciples.

“The One-star Sect Liuyun Sect!”

The disciples of Misty Sect showed astonishment in their eyes.

At this moment, the Shape-shifting Beast hidden far away, transformed into a large white ant, looked frustrated.

It had tried countless methods, but each time it got close to the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle, it got swatted away by a wing.

Now, seeing the Third Elder of Liuyun Sect lying unconscious on the flying boat, the Shape-shifting Beast’s face suddenly changed.

“He’s an Element Gathering Realm cultivator; I must hurry back to inform others,” the Shape-shifting Beast immediately turned into a small white bird and flew away into the distance.
