The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: This is a misunderstanding, Inner Sect Disciple, Baixue Ding
Three people were making their way towards the North City Gate.

The one in the lead was none other than Xiao Fangu.

The remaining two were Qingyun Sect disciples, Bai Minglu and Xi Xinyu.

Huo Yunjie looked at Xiao Fangu and realized that the latter, just like himself, had also broken through to the peak of the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement.

“You’ve actually broken through too!” Xiao Fangu, using his Spirit Eyes, discerned Huo Yunjie’s cultivation level, and couldn’t help but clench his fists in resentment, grinding his teeth.

He had thought that after a period of arduous cultivation, he would be able to easily crush Huo Yunjie, but to his surprise, the other’s cultivation was still on par with his own!

But in the next moment, Xiao Fangu released his clenched fist.

“Good, even with the same cultivation level, I am no longer the person I used to be. At tonight’s banquet, I will show you what a true sword is!” he said, brimming with confidence.

During this period, he had been training diligently, perfecting the second layer of the “Green Cloud Sword Technique” to its pinnacle. Even the Qingyun Sect Master had spoken highly of him, commenting that he showed the demeanor of a future sect leader.

Therefore, Xiao Fangu believed that in another battle, he could easily dominate Huo Yunjie.

“Sword?”

Upon hearing this, Huo Yunjie had a strange expression on his face.

“Yes, sword!” Xiao Fangu said coldly, “Soon, I’ll be waiting for you in front of the banquet hall at Feilai Peak of the Divine Wind Mountain Range. If you have the courage, come and fight me.”

Having said that, Xiao Fangu turned to Xi Xinyu and Bai Minglu and said, “Junior sister, senior brother, we should meet with the sect leader first, then head to the banquet hall.”

The next moment, the group from Qingyun Sect left on their flying swords.

“That was truly baffling,” Huo Yunjie shook his head.

“Are you really going to fight that person just now?” Baixue Ding asked with a hint of worry.

“I defeated him once, I can defeat him a second time. Moreover, I’d like to test the results of my recent cultivation,” Huo Yunjie took out an invitation, “Before we left, the sect leader gave me one of the two invitations, so after I help you with your beginner’s training, we’ll head straight to the banquet hall to wait.”

“Okay,” Baixue Ding nodded obediently.

The next moment, the two flew low over the streets on their flying swords.

As they travelled towards the Divine Wind Mountain Range, Ye Feng opened his eyes to peer down from the back of the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle. He saw a sprawling city extending hundreds of miles on the horizon.

“We’ve arrived at Divine Wind City,” Ye Feng announced.

Upon hearing this, the disciples quickly stood up to look, scrutinizing Divine Wind City.

A profound sense of historical depth washed over them, giving them the remarkable feeling of walking shoulder-to-shoulder with the ancients.

The Iron Claw Dragon Eagle picked up speed.

Before long, they entered the airspace above Divine Wind City, catching the attention of many people below.

“How audacious! A mere High-rank Demon Soldier level flying spirit beast dares to fly higher than ten zhang above the city walls. Disciples of the Law Enforcement Team, heed my command and surround these people,” roared a voice suddenly.

Suddenly, Ye Feng looked baffled as hundreds of young swordsmen dressed in white came flying in on their swords, encircling the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle on all sides.

These individuals were all at least at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refinement. The young swordsman leading them had reached the peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, on the verge of a breakthrough to the Element Gathering Realm.

“Who are you people, daring to break the rules?” the leading young swordsman called out from atop his flying sword, pointing at Ye Feng.

“Wow!”

Upon seeing Ye Feng being pointed at, Brother Flathead immediately stood up, unleashing the aura of a Demon General level, which swept out like a storm, tossing the hundreds of disciples from the Divine Wind Sword Sect into disarray.

“A Lower Rank Demon General!”

The pupils of the leading young swordsman constricted.

“My fellow disciples, this is a misunderstanding,” suddenly came a gentle and refined voice.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a suave and debonair young man in white approaching on his sword.

Ye Feng looked at the newcomer with surprise.

This was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Divine Wind Sword Sect, Ji Wushuang!

About half a month ago, it was Ji Wushuang who brought the second invitation to the Misty Sect.

“It turns out to be Senior Brother Ji,” the leader of the Law Enforcement Team hurriedly bowed with his fists, not daring to show any disrespect.

Ye Feng was taken aback by this reaction, silently noting that Ji Wushuang must hold a high status.

Ji Wushuang pointed at Ye Feng and introduced him to the crowd, “This is Ye Feng, Sect Master of the Misty Sect, and a guest personally invited by the Sword Child. Show him some respect.”

Upon hearing this, the law enforcement disciples quickly bowed and said, “So you are the guest of the Sword Child, our apologies for the offense earlier, please forgive us, Sect Master Ye, farewell!”

After that, the hundreds of law enforcement disciples hurriedly flew away on their swords.

“What was that all about?” Ye Feng looked at Ji Wushuang.

“Sect Master Ye might not be aware that in Divine Wind City, those in the Qi Refining Realm can only fly below ten meters, and only those in the Element Gathering Realm are allowed to fly at high altitudes, but no higher than the elevation of the Divine Wind Mountain Range. The law enforcement disciples stopped Sect Master Ye because they saw you flying at high altitudes without being in the Element Gathering Realm, leading to this misunderstanding,” explained Ji Wushuang in detail.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng understood.

But, he still didn’t understand why the law enforcement disciples seemed so respectful towards Ji Wushuang.

However, it wasn’t convenient to ask such a question, and Ye Feng could only change the subject, “It’s nearly dusk, and I need to make haste to your sect for accommodations.”

“I’ll take you there,” said Ji Wushuang.

“Thank you,” Ye Feng was more than happy to have a guide.

Under the guidance of Ji Wushuang, the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle took flight with vigorous flaps of its wings, carrying everyone to the Divine Wind Mountain Range. They settled into a guesthouse named “Feihua Garden.”

“Sect Master Ye, your sect will be staying here for the night. Since it’s about time, please follow me to the banquet hall,” Ji Wushuang offered to lead the way.

With its large frame, the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle could only crouch in the courtyard, munching on spirit beast feed, while watching everyone slowly walk away.

Feilai Peak.

One of the seventy-two peaks of the Divine Wind Mountain Range, and the location of the banquet hall.

At this moment, in front of the large doors of the banquet hall on the Martial Arts Ground, two people confronted each other from a distance.

“Bai Minglu, do you dare to spar with me?”

The speaker was a bushy-browed young man in a black robe, holding a long halberd in his hand. His cultivation level had reached the peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement. He came from the One-Star Sect, the Star Dragon Sect, and his name was He Ning.

The other person was none other than a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, Bai Minglu.

“You were defeated by my sword last time. Do you dare to challenge me again, looking for more punishment?” Bai Minglu had a blade of grass in his mouth, not taking He Ning seriously at all.

“Just answer whether you dare or not,” He Ning, holding his halberd, called out sternly.

“Is there a wager?” Bai Minglu asked.

“A Lower Grade Consolidating Origin Pill,” said He Ning.

“Deal!” Bai Minglu grinned. He was also preparing to break into the Element Gathering Realm and although he already possessed some Consolidating Origin Pills, such elixirs were always good to have in abundance.

Soon, the two stood facing each other, tens of meters apart, under the scrutiny of thousands from various sects.

“Bai Minglu, I will use the move ‘Black Dragon Descent’ to knock you down!”

He Ning held the halberd with both hands, casting a spell. A black dragon phantom swirled around him and as he swung the halberd down, the black dragon suddenly roared and charged toward Bai Minglu in the distance.

“Mere child’s play!”

In his left hand, Bai Minglu held the scabbard while his right hand grasped the hilt. As the black dragon approached, his eyes narrowed suddenly and he swiftly drew his sword.

Slash!

A bright sword light cut through the air, splitting the black dragon in two. The sword qi’s force continued unabated, sending He Ning, along with his halberd, flying and crashing down outside the Martial Arts Ground, foaming at the mouth.

“Sword Drawing Technique!”

Disciples from various sects all exclaimed in amazement.

Xiao Fangu and Xi Xinyu looked at each other and smiled simultaneously.

With the sword returned to its scabbard, Bai Minglu approached He Ning and extended his hand, “Come on, hand over the Consolidating Origin Pill.”

“You just wait!” He Ning dropped a jade vial and ran off disgracedly, drawing jeers from the disciples of various sects.

“Brother, your Sword Drawing Technique is becoming more and more skillful,” praised Xiao Fangu.

“Far from it!” Bai Minglu, with the blade of grass still in his mouth, appeared nonchalant. Suddenly, he noticed two figures in the distance and squinted his eyes.

“Your opponent has arrived.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fangu turned toward the uphill path and saw Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding walking side by side.

Different from when they entered the city, Baixue Ding had changed into the attire of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Divine Wind Sword Sect, and her shoulder-length hair had been tied up, giving her a spirited and valiant appearance.

“Strange, this woman is only at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refinement. How could she become an Inner Sect Disciple?” Xiao Fangu was surprised, but he couldn’t be bothered to think too much about it. With a leap, he charged forward, “Huo Yunjie, you finally showed up!”

His voice immediately drew the attention of the entire crowd.
