The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: The Excited Xie Jiaren, The Story of Mu Ruxue
 

Ye Feng was very surprised.

What was Mu Ruxue doing here?

Was she here to have tea with him?

That seemed unlikely!

With a belly full of doubts, Ye Feng deactivated the protective shield and let Xie Jiaren and Mu Ruxue come in, and they entered the Sect Leader’s Great Hall together.

“The two of you have come from afar, what brings you here?”

Ye Feng sat on the Sect Master’s throne while Mu Ruxue and Xie Jiaren took their seats as guests, and Hu Feifei was beside them making tea.

Xie Jiaren opened her storage ring and took out a barrel of fragrant Spirit Beast Feed and placed it on the ground.

“Here, this is Spirit Beast Feed refined from the meat of Fanged Mad Pigs, and its grade surpasses all previous feeds, so, I’ve named it ‘Supreme Grade Spirit Beast Feed’.”

After saying this, she pouted her lips, looking a bit proud.

“Let me have a look.”

Ye Feng picked up a piece of Supreme Grade Spirit Beast Feed and analyzed it with his telekinesis, finding that the spiritual energy and vital energy contained within were abundant, far surpassing previous Spirit Beast Feed.

“Not bad!”

Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Xie Jiaren clapped her little hands and said triumphantly, “Humph, how about that, I told you I could do it.”

After speaking, she stretched out her hand towards Ye Feng.

“What for?” Ye Feng was stunned.

Xie Jiaren’s eyes immediately widened, “Didn’t you say last time to let me take the meat of the Fanged Mad Pig to refine into Spirit Beast Feed? If successful, you’d give me the rest of the pig meat, and after the Spirit Beast Feed was refined, we’d divide the profits.”

Ye Feng slapped his forehead.

“I almost forgot, here, these are for you.”

He handed over a storage ring and said, “There are a total of three thousand jin of Fanged Mad Pig meat in there. Take it all for refinement, but remember, we split it sixty-forty, sixty for me and forty for you.”

“That’s not what you said before!” Xie Jiaren pouted.

Ye Feng pointed outside and said, “If you do well, we could have a deeper collaboration, like, for instance, giving you the meat of the Demon King.”

“Demon King?!”

Xie Jiaren and Mu Ruxue were both shocked, looking at Ye Feng together.

“Come with me!”

Ye Feng walked out.

The two women, filled with intense confusion, followed him to the cliff of Misty Peak and looked down to the Sect Main Plaza, their pupils contracting sharply.

On the plaza, two huge corpses lay quietly.

A gigantic black Poison Scorpion.

A Mad Python that had lost all its scales.

Even though their Spirit Blood had been removed, they still emitted a terrifying pressure, and even just making eye contact with the Mad Python King’s eyes made the two women feel an innate fear.

“These are the Mad Python King and Poison Scorpion King from the Barren Desert!”

Mu Ruxue, as the Sword Child of Divine Wind Sword Sect, quickly recognized the identities of the two Demon King’s corpses, her face filled with shock.

“Correct, a few days ago, this Sect Leader went to South Ming Country, and on seeing injustice, had the protector slay them.”

Ye Feng explained briefly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ruxue was even more astonished.

Hu Feifei could actually defeat the Mad Python King and Poison Scorpion King!

Could it be that her strength had reached the high tiers of the Spirit Sea Realm?

Thinking this, Mu Ruxue’s heartbeat quickened, and her determination grew firmer as she was about to voice her thoughts to Ye Feng.

But Xie Jiaren, excitedly jumping up, hugged Ye Feng’s waist, feigning a pitiable look, “Sect Master Ye, you must take responsibility for me!”

“What… what are you doing!”

Ye Feng hurriedly grabbed Xie Jiaren’s hand, pried her away, and then, looking nervously around, he whispered, “What kind of behavior is this, what if we’re misunderstood? Doesn’t this Sect Leader need to save face?”

Immediately, Xie Jiaren wrapped her arms around Ye Feng’s leg, “Sect Master Ye, you must give me the meat of these Demon Kings!”

“Can’t you act normal for once.” Ye Feng quickly pried off her hands.

Mu Ruxue stood to the side, watching with a slightly strange expression on her face.

But thinking of how Xie Jiaren always liked to play dirty and never followed the usual patterns, she could only shake her head.

“First refine the meat of the Fanged Mad Pig into Supreme Grade Spirit Beast Feed!” Ye Feng urged, “Once it sells for a good price later, I will naturally give you the Demon King’s meat.”

“You got it!”

Xie Jiaren immediately acted normally, stood beside Ye Feng, rubbed her nose, and showed an excited expression.

“I’ve decided, from now on we’ll split it seventy-thirty, me taking seventy, Sect Master Ye taking thirty… oh, I accidentally spoke my mind just now, actually, it should be Sect Master Ye taking seventy, I’ll take thirty, haha!”

Midway through her words, Xie Jiaren caught the glaring gaze of Ye Feng and quickly corrected herself, her face bearing an awkward smile.

Ye Feng chuckled and couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.

He turned to look at Mu Ruxue, asking, “I see Sword Child hesitated as if having something to say, is there something you wish to discuss?”

Surveying her surroundings, Mu Ruxue pointed towards the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, “This is a rather confidential matter, may the two of us talk alone?”

“Agreed.” Ye Feng nodded in assent.

“Cousin, what secret could you possibly have that your cousin cannot hear?” Xie Jiaren slung her arm over Mu Ruxue’s shoulder, smiling mischievously.

“You wait outside.” With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng, together with Mu Ruxue, turned into a flash of silver light and vanished without a trace.

Clang!

The next moment, the doors of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall slammed shut.

Xie Jiaren clicked her tongue and began to stroll around Misty Peak aimlessly before walking across the suspension bridge to Feilai Peak, idly wandering about.

Inside the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.

Ye Feng sat in his seat.

Mu Ruxue took a seat in the guest chair, glancing at the silver light dissipating around her, her pupils constricted.

“This is the Instant Teleportation Divine Skill!”

Her inner world was in turmoil.

Divine Skills were powerful methods that surpassed Ninth Grade Spells.

To use a Divine Skill, one must at the very least possess the cultivation level of the Divine Origin Realm, which is to say, become a Great Power, to be able to use it.

And now, Ye Feng had just used Instantaneous Movement!

“Is he a Great Power of the Divine Origin Realm?”

Mu Ruxue couldn’t help but think to herself.

“I am not of the Divine Origin Realm.” Ye Feng guessed Mu Ruxue’s thoughts, “Speak, what matter is so secretive?”

Regaining her composure from the shock, Mu Ruxue respectfully said, “Has Sect Master Ye heard of the Demon-locking Tower?”

“Not only have I heard of it, but I have also seen it.” Ye Feng nodded.

Mu Ruxue nodded and spoke earnestly, “Then, what does Sect Master Ye think about the Demon-locking Tower?”

Ye Feng’s gaze flickered as he replied, “Of course, I look at it with my eyes.”

Mu Ruxue was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that Ye Feng was joking with her. Her expression turned solemn, “Sect Master Ye, would you be willing to listen to a story?”

“Go on.” Ye Feng nodded.

“Once upon a time, there was a young man with enviable talent, but later, a tower shattered and from it emerged an Evil Beast that obliterated and devoured the young man. Then, the young man had a sister who sought vengeance but wanted even more to unearth the hidden truth behind it all.”

Mu Ruxue’s voice grew slightly cold, “However, the truth had not yet surfaced, and her plan for vengeance was also hampered because the people behind that tower were too powerful to destroy.”

Hearing this, Ye Feng looked knowingly at Mu Ruxue.

It was not difficult to guess that the “tower” mentioned in the story referred to the Demon-locking Tower.

The “sister” in the story was none other than Mu Ruxue herself.

As for the young man eradicated and devoured by the Evil Beast that came out of the Demon-locking Tower, it was Mu Ruxue’s own younger brother.

As for why she couldn’t take her vengeance, it seemed that Mu Ruxue feared the entity behind the Demon-locking Tower.

As far as Ye Feng knew, that person was the Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect.

Or rather, it was the entire faction of cultivators associated with the Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect, whose overall strength was unclear, but who must be formidable if even Sword Child Mu Ruxue was out of options against them.

With this in mind, Ye Feng asked, “And then?”

Mu Ruxue took a deep breath, admitting she was indeed the “sister” in the story, and, for the sake of her vengeance, she was determined to destroy all Demon-locking Towers.

Even the Great Elder behind them was bound to be punished.

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes filled with cold light, her gaze hesitant as she said,

“In the future, the Demon-locking Tower will undeniably become a great menace; it must be destroyed, and the Great Elder behind it is no good either. Therefore, I would like to request Sect Master Ye’s assistance.”

“Why should I help you?”

Ye Feng furrowed his brow, “That is the Demon-locking Tower maintained by the Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect, an internal affair of your Divine Wind Sword Sect. As the leader of another sect, it is inappropriate for me to intervene.”

The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect was only at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm.

With such strength, Ye Feng was naturally unafraid.

However, the problem lay in the fact that the other party belonged to the Divine Wind Sword Sect, and who knew if there might be peak Spirit Sea Realm cultivators who had secluded themselves behind the Great Elder?

Moreover, this matter might even be connected to more terrifying secrets.

With these thoughts, Ye Feng looked serious.
