“I also find it strange,” Ye Feng murmured softly.
If it were a more ferocious sect, upon discovering that their sect’s treasure had fallen into someone else’s hands, they would have taken direct action long ago, not wasted so much time talking.
“Sect Leader, could our sect possibly have some kind of background that Nishang Palace is wary of?” asked Ouyang Feng, the youngest.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng quickly explained, “My father told me that a force is only respected when it becomes powerful or has a powerful background.”
He and his sister, Ouyang Yu, came from a merchant family and were exposed to such matters from a young age, so they were quite knowledgeable.
Ye Feng looked at the Five Elements Spirit Bead in his palm and said,
“Perhaps, the Nishang Palace Master is wary of the City Lord’s Mansion and the Liuyun Sect. As for valuing my ability to teach spells, that may be the case, but it should only be secondary. Regardless, now that the Five Elements Spirit Bead is in my hands, I must visit Nishang Palace in the future.”
The disciples nodded to themselves upon hearing this.
In the sky.
The Nishang Palace group stood on a drifting Red Silk, flying towards Whitefloat City at a speed twice that of ordinary lower-grade flying spiritual artifacts.
An Elder from the Qi Refinement ninth level who couldn’t contain himself asked, “Palace Master, that’s our palace’s treasured relic. Why not take it back? After all, Misty Sect is nothing but a lower-rank sect, isn’t it?”
“Misty Sect’s leader, Ye Feng, happens to be the lifesaver of Elder Lu Shanyue from Liuyun Sect and a favorite in the eyes of the Deputy City Lord. Can you afford to offend him?”
Nishang Palace’s Palace Master glanced sideways at that Elder, her voice calm, yet it sent shivers through the others.
“It is rumored that Elder Lu Shanyue of Liuyun Sect has reached the second level of the Element Gathering Realm, with remarkable strength. How could Ye Feng from Misty Sect, a mortal with no cultivation, possibly be his lifesaver?”
All the Elders and disciples of Nishang Palace present had this doubt.
“Ye Feng cannot be a mortal. I suspect he is a powerful body cultivator. Back in Five-Colors City, he was able to punch me back several steps. If a real fight broke out, you all might be defeated before you could even set up the formation,” stated the Nishang Palace Master gravely.
“But even if he is a once-in-a-million strong body cultivator, how could he possibly teach his disciples to cultivate spells?” asked an Elder.
“If you knew someone from the Black Armored Guard Camp, you could simply ask them instead of questioning me about everything,” Nishang Palace’s Palace Master snorted coldly.
The fact that the distinguished Elders of Nishang Palace didn’t even know this much information displeased the Palace Master greatly.
“This subordinate acknowledges the mistake,” the Elder quickly bowed his head.
In the center of Five-Colors City.
Ye Feng held the Five Elements Spirit Bead, discovering that although he was its owner, he couldn’t unleash its power due to the lack of spiritual energy.
“Two thousand spirit stones wasted on loneliness.”
Ye Feng couldn’t help but feel exasperated and turned to look at the other disciples, noticing they had brought back three sizable demonic beasts, all senior middle-rank Demon Soldiers, equivalent to the Qi Refinement sixth level.
“You’ve all done a good job on the mission. Let’s head over to the nearby Five-Colors Square,” Ye Feng put away the Five Elements Spirit Bead and said to the disciples.
“Sect Leader, what about her?” Jia Yulan pointed at the woman in red lying on the ruins.
The Master of Nishang Palace had killed the woman in red and then ignored her, leaving her lying there.
“Bury her,” said Ye Feng.
Mo Ying flicked her finger, and a flying sword struck the center of the ruins, swiftly digging a two-meter-deep pit into which they buried the woman in red.
After this was done, Ye Feng led the disciples a few hundred meters away to Five-Colors Square and placed the three fallen demonic beasts on the ground.
A ten-meter-long Green Serpent Demon.
A black pig demon covered in spikes.
A strange fish with sharp claws.
Thousands of people surrounded them, looking alternately shocked and angry at the three slain beasts.
“The citizens of Five-Colors City need not panic. The three disturbing demonic beasts from several miles to the east, south, and north of the city have been dealt with by our Misty Sect disciples. You no longer need to fear attacks from them when you pass by,” Ye Feng announced to the crowd at the right time.
“Truly worthy of an Immortal Master, who first solved the problem of the Great Demon in the dry well, and now the demonic beasts outside the city; it’s like a deity descending to earth!”
An old man was overwhelmed with gratitude.
“Thank you, cultivators from the Misty Sect!”
“Please, take this pig’s leg we’re offering.”
“Immortal Master, my child has the potential for cultivation, please take him with you!”
The people of Five-Colors City kept expressing their thanks.
Sect Prestige Value +2.
Sect Prestige Value +3.
Ye Feng noticed that the Prestige Points kept rising, and soon they had increased from 700 to 800.
Yet, Ye Feng wasn’t too excited.
“There are thousands of people around, and only a little over a hundred truly acknowledge the Misty Sect. This shows that slaying demons isn’t enough; I must add more fuel to the fire,” Ye Feng thought to himself.
He pointed at three demonic beasts and said, “The meat of these three demons is quite good. Later, save some for everyone to make soup.”
“Thank you, Immortal Master!”
In an instant, dozens of Prestige Points were credited.
To this, Ye Feng could only sigh that these people must be foodies!
“Ladies and gentlemen, don’t worry. If there are any more demons in Five-Colors City, our Misty Sect will undeniably stand up and fight without hesitation,” Ye Feng proclaimed from the high platform.
In the blink of an eye, another wave of Prestige Points.
By now, the Prestige Points had risen to 900.
“I’m about to break a thousand, I need to step up the effort!” Ye Feng thought, feeling that there was still room for development (and fleecing) in Five-Colors City.
So, Ye Feng spread his arms and announced, “Everyone, the hides of these demonic beasts are too tough for you to process, so let our Misty Sect handle it. We will also make soup right here for everyone to strengthen up.”
“Thank you so much!”
“The cultivators from Misty Sect are truly immortals descended to earth, all of them handsome men and beautiful women, always caring for the common folk. It’s truly a blessing for our Five-Colors City!”
The thousands gathered around were electrified, and soon, at least a thousand people were lined up in queue, waiting to have soup.
“Sect Leader, are we really doing this?” Li Jiaojiao asked in a quiet voice.
“Keep the materials we can use, convenient for future exchanges at the City Lord’s Mansion. The rest can be used to make soup,” Ye Feng looked at the sky and saw it was afternoon, “Anyway, the time is about right, just in time to have dinner here.”
The disciples immediately got busy.
Shi Lei and Huo Yunjie set up a big iron pot and used the Fire Cloud Palm to heat the water in the pot.
Mo Ying was in charge of cutting.
Li Jiaojiao, Xia He, and Qiu Ju took care of sorting.
Long Tianxing activated his Blue Spirit Eyes to check for any overlooked materials that could be utilized, and as for everyone else, they did whatever they could.
Half an hour later.
A big pot of soup was ready.
It contained a broth of green serpent demon, swine demon, and water demon flesh, and the aroma spread out, detectable even from hundreds of meters away.
The people of Five-Colors City brought their own bowls and chopsticks, each person got a bowl of soup, and after drinking it, they felt rejuvenated, as if they had taken a powerful tonic.
In just a short time, Ye Feng noticed the Prestige Points, which had been stuck at 965, skyrocketing to 1123, and they were still on the rise, completing the sideline task related to Prestige Points.
“Ding, congratulations on the Sect’s Prestige Value breaking a thousand, the second phase of the Spirit Beast Pavilion is now open, the sideline mission is completed beyond expectations, beginning to settle rewards,” the System’s notification sound timely rang out.
Ye Feng’s eyes sparkled, as he sat on the back of the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle, full of anticipation while waiting.
