Chapter 203: Chapter 203: The Sect Masters’ Confusion, Huge Harvest (Happy New Year)

Over a hundred miles from Demon City.

Several figures lay hidden in the darkness, staring at the full moon high above in the sky, all of them wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

Countless meteors continued to bombard, crashing into Demon City, destroying numerous buildings and members of the Demon Race, and producing a deafening noise, like a mountain torrent assaulting the hearts of these few people.

“This is… too terrifying!”

“Who on earth is this powerful individual who dared to venture alone into Demon City and caused such a catastrophic meteor shower?”

“This appears to be a Third Grade Spell that has achieved Perfection, and with the augmentation from that mysterious expert at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm, the extent of the destruction is unimaginable.”

“We owe a great debt to this individual!”

“Yes, their striking at Demon City has bought us a chance to catch our breath.”

These figures stood atop the mountain, shocked beyond measure.

If Ye Feng had been there, he would have recognized them.

These people were none other than the Sect Leaders of the Liuyun Sect, Yunhua Zhenren, the City Lord of Sanyuan City, Qingyun Zhenren, and other Sect Masters who had formed a team to arrive here.

Although the Demon Subjugation Alliance had been dissolved as soon as it was formed, they couldn’t let go and decided to team up and raid in secret.

However, they had only just arrived nearby and hadn’t had a chance to delve deeper when they saw a bright full moon appear in the sky, unleashing a horrendously massive meteor shower.

Due to the brightness of this full moon, it illuminated the ground of Demon City, and people like the Sect Leader of the Liuyun Sect saw the scene inside, realizing that it was indeed occupied by the Demon Race Army, and that there were a hundred thousand Demon Race members, along with dozens of Demon Generals.

Such a lineup was terrifying!

The Sect Masters felt true admiration for the courageous individual who dared to infiltrate Demon City alone.

“Damn it, for destroying my Demon City, I will never coexist with you in peace!” At this moment, the Fox Clan Demon King, enraged yet again, with its head and one arm severed, the Giant Earth Ape, soared into the sky, shattered the full moon above, causing its brightness to fade.

“It’s the Demon King!”

“That Demon King seems to be headless!”

“It looks like it’s also missing an arm.”

“With such a strange appearance, coupled with fluffy fur, what breed of Demonic Beast could this be?”

The Sect Masters sensed the massive and mountainous presence of the Giant Earth Ape from afar, turning pale with fright and hastily retreating.

“Indeed, Demon City has a Demon King in command. How could we be a match for him?” sighed Qingyun Zhenren. In the presence of the Demon King, he was completely unable to show any arrogance.

Looking in the direction Ye Feng had flown, the Sect Leader of the Liuyun Sect said, “I remember that fierce man flew off that way. Why don’t we catch up and offer him the position of Alliance Hierarch?”

“You want to re-establish the Demon Subjugation Alliance?” asked Yunhua Zhenren, astounded.

“Why not?” laughed the Sect Leader of the Liuyun Sect. “This mysterious and courageous individual is our Sects’ hope. If we could make him the Alliance Hierarch, our pressure would be greatly reduced.”

“Then let’s not waste any time chasing him!” Qingyun Zhenren was the first to set off.

…

In the high sky.

Ye Feng clutched his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He had just been punched by the Giant Earth Ape, and although severely injured, was lucky to have not been killed—truly a stroke of luck.

At this moment, the effects of the Explosive Spirit Pill had long since faded, and Ye Feng felt somewhat weak, only able to sit on the Metal Leaf Blade and fly towards Misty Peak.

“So, the Demon King’s power is incredibly terrifying; even after taking the Explosive Spirit Pill I could only barely withstand a punch. If I had to fight for a prolonged period, my death would be certain,” Ye Feng took a deep breath, reminiscing about tonight’s battle and gained much from the experience.

Unfortunately, there was only one Explosive Spirit Pill.

Whoosh!

Ye Feng suddenly heard the sound of a sword’s light approaching from behind, his expression drastically changed.

“Eh, it’s them! They gave me quite a fright; I thought the Fox Clan Demon King had caught up.” Turning his head, Ye Feng saw it was the Sect Leader of the Liuyun Sect and others. He let out a sigh of relief, curious to see them.

“Sect Master Ye? What are you doing here?” Yunhua Zhenren was initially startled to see Ye Feng, then asked.

Hurriedly, the Sect Leader of the Liuyun Sect asked, “Sect Master Ye, have you seen a peak Element Gathering Realm expert passing by, riding a sword light with incredible speed?”

Ye Feng was startled.

Element Gathering Realm Peak?

I’ve never seen them… Could it be that these people were just watching the battle near Demon City and saw me cast “Heavenly Moon Strike”?

As Ye Feng fell into confusion, Yunhua Zhenren explained, “Sect Master Ye is unaware that we were about to go to Demon City to slay the strong ones of the Demon Race. However, just as we approached within a hundred miles of Demon City, we encountered a terrifying Element Gathering Realm Peak expert who cast a meteor-falling spell so fearsome that it destroyed a great part of Demon City.”

“Later, that fierce person flew in this direction, and I don’t know if Sect Master Ye happened to see them,” explained the Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect.

“Ah? No, no!” Ye Feng waved his hands hurriedly, “You all think too highly of me. Even if an Element Gathering Realm Peak expert passed by, with my cultivation level, how could I possibly notice?”

It seemed that during the battle at Demon City, these people had indeed been watching nearby, but they did not realize that the so-called “Element Gathering Realm Peak” fierce person was him. He couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

“No?” The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect looked disappointed.

The other Sect Masters couldn’t help but sigh.

Qingyun Zhenren stood in the distance, watching coldly. When he noticed Ye Feng looking over, he quickly averted his gaze.

“It seems that we are destined not to cross paths with that fierce person,” the Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect said helplessly, his eyes filled with regret.

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, “What do the Sect Masters want with that fierce person?”

“What’s it to you?” Qingyun Zhenren huffed.

“We want to reestablish the Demon Subjugation Alliance. If that fellow can become the Alliance Hierarch, the hundreds of sects around us could also have a pillar of support,” revealed the Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect about his intentions.

“Oh, I see!” Ye Feng’s face remained calm, but he was speechless inside.

At that moment, Yunhua Zhenren took a good look at Ye Feng, noticing his sunken chest and the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and exclaimed with widened eyes, “Sect Master Ye, how did you get injured?”

“Cough cough… Actually, I was observing nearby just before the great battle broke out in Demon City. Later, I encountered a very powerful Demon General and got injured by him,” Ye Feng wiped the blood from his mouth and earnestly spoke nonsense.

The gathering of Sect Masters was shocked.

Even Ye Feng had been seriously injured, so that Demon General must have been of at least the seventh level of the Element Gathering Realm, which was bad news.

“Everyone, I need to heal my wounds, so I’ll take my leave. We shall meet again,” Ye Feng said, not wanting to continue the engagement and hurriedly flew towards Misty Sect.

Watching Ye Feng’s retreating figure, the Sect Masters present exchanged looks, all feeling it was a pity they had missed the opportunity with that fierce person.

“There’s no need for everyone to worry too much. Now that Demon City has been seriously damaged, they can’t afford to target other sects and cities for the time being. Let’s take this opportunity to cultivate diligently and strive to break through our cultivation level shackles,” Qingyun Zhenren suddenly spoke up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked towards Demon City.

He had decided that he would not emerge from seclusion until he broke through to the seventh level of the Element Gathering Realm!

Soon, the Sect Masters dispersed.

On his way back,

Ye Feng looked at the two strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy that had recovered and quickly took out one to merge into his chest, rapidly healing his injuries.

“The Wind Element Spirit Energy is truly versatile, with functions such as escape, life-saving, and binding. It’s truly worthy of being the power condensed from an upper-grade Spiritual Artifact. It seems I need to upgrade my Refining Furnace as soon as possible to forge the Five Elements Spirit Sword,” Ye Feng planned.

The Wind Spirit Pearl tended towards support functions.

Even if he converted the Wind Element Spirit Energy into the strongest killer move, it would only possess the power of a blow on par with the ninth level of the Element Gathering Realm, and it was a consumable. It couldn’t be used many times in a short period, and after use, it would put him at a disadvantage.

But the Five Elements Spirit Sword was different.

If he could refine it, it would definitely become a significant aid. Even if he couldn’t face the Demon King, he would at least have an advantage when facing opponents at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm.

Before long, Ye Feng returned to Misty Peak.

At that moment, it was the second half of the night.

Ye Feng dropped the corpses of the two middle-rank Demon Generals and five lower-rank Demon Generals on the ground and used the fourth function of the Spirit Beast Pavilion, “Spirit Blood Transference,” to extract and refine seven fist-sized portions of Spirit Blood.

Then, he looked at the severed head and an arm of the Giant Earth Ape, extracting and refining a thumb-sized portion of dark gold Spirit Blood.

“The Spirit Blood of Demon Kings and Demon Generals, what a haul!”

Watching the eight orbs floating in midair, Ye Feng felt exhilarated.
