Chapter 1303: The Major Task is Accomplished
After An Daohai and his son had been gone for a long time, there was no one else left in the hall.
Yuwen Qianyue secretly let out a sigh of relief. With a light tap of her jade-like finger, the ancient ring on the table fell into her palm.
Her divine sense swept over it, revealing all the treasures within the ring at a glance.
This cold and beautiful Venerable One couldn't help but clench her fair hand. Complex entanglements turned into a cold glint in her beautiful eyes as she took out a jade slip and issued a stern order.
"Summon the outer sect disciple, Yi Feng!"
Upon receiving a reply via the jade slip, she immediately began weaving hand seals.
In just a few breaths, intricate inscriptions concealed themselves within the great hall, almost sealing it airtight. Anyone who stepped inside would become a bird in a cage!
As the sound of footsteps echoed.
The look in Yuwen Qianyue's eyes grew even colder, her hand hidden within her sleeve already prepared to activate the spell!
Seeing the handsome young man enter, she coldly asked her question.
"Are you Yi Feng?"
Yi Feng had just been drinking with friends when he was suddenly summoned here. He didn't know what it was about, only that some Venerable One wanted to see him.
Now, hearing the cold and beautiful woman seated high above ask a question, he assumed this must be the Venerable One, right?
He instinctively responded.
"That is correct."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Yuwen Qianyue gave a slight nod.
Her jade finger, hidden secretly within her long sleeve, finished the hand seal. Invisible array patterns activated instantly, filling the entire hall with an intense chill. An overwhelming pressure threatened to engulf Yi Feng.
Under such a terrifying array's might, this lad was sure to have all his cultivation crippled!
Strangely though...
After the boundless might of the array swept through, churning within the hall several times, Yi Feng was still standing there stiffly, looking completely unharmed!
Immediately, Yuwen Qianyue's heart sank in shock!
This...
How is this possible!
A mortal-star cultivator, no matter how talented, couldn't possibly have cultivation strong enough to this extent, to actually ignore the Shadow Seven Extremes Array she personally laid down?
Yet the facts were before her.
The array had activated several times, and this person was still completely unscathed.
Seeing this, Yuwen Qianyue was filled with a thousand suspicions and couldn't help but start guessing wildly.
This person's cultivation was absolutely insufficient to withstand the array, yet he remained safe and sound. It seemed he possessed some kind of protective treasure. She had underestimated him.
Who would have thought.
This mortal-star cultivator was not only remarkably talented but also possessed a rare treasure. He truly was a bit different from the rest.
Perhaps this person really did have some measure of destiny!
Thinking of this.
Yuwen Qianyue actually hesitated instinctively, feeling regret at the thought of cutting off such a genius's future path. Agreeing to An Daohai's request to deal with Yi Feng now filled her with remorse!
But matters had already reached this point.
The arrow was already on the bowstring; it had to be released!
Once you provoke a child of destiny like this, you cannot hold back. Merely crippling his cultivation won't do; you must pull the weeds out by the roots and finish him off!
Killing intent surged in Yuwen Qianyue's heart as she prepared to strike.
Yi Feng, however, was starting to get a bit impatient from waiting.
He was told the Venerable One summoned him, but this auntie had been staring at him for ages without saying a word. What was going on?
It couldn't be... she was looking for a matchmaker, could it?
Awkwardly standing still for a few more breaths, Yi Feng could only brace himself and ask.
"Um..."
"Venerable One?"
"Might I ask why you summoned me here?"
As his words fell, Yuwen Qianyue was even more astonished!
The Shadow Seven Extremes Array had activated several times. How terrifying its dangers were! Yet this person was asking what the matter was, as if nothing had happened?
Could it be he never even sensed the array's might?
As this guess flashed through her mind, Yuwen Qianyue was already feeling some pressure.
This youth, relying on his treasure to ignore the array, was proof enough that the treasure's grade was extremely high. It could protect its master silently and seamlessly, almost as if it possessed its own intelligence, which was why the youth remained completely unaware.
This was truly a fortune countless people would envy.
With such a treasure on his person, this matter became difficult to handle.
Crippling his cultivation was already hard enough. Wanting to kill this youth required even more careful planning.
After pondering for a few breaths.
Yuwen Qianyue smiled and responded, pretending nothing had happened.
"This Venerable One has heard of your exceptional talent and excellent character, hence I have a mind to nurture you. I made an exception to summon you, wishing to bestow upon you an opportunity."
Yi Feng listened, his heart filled with gloom.
Ever since being listed on the Heavenly Ranking, he had been receiving gifts every day. Gifts from the Snowstorm Island and private individuals had piled up in several rooms. It was truly an unbearable nuisance.
Who the hell wants gifts!
I came all this way, so seriously wanting to find death, and you lot, instead of letting me experience the slightest danger, keep giving me better and better treatment!
If this goes on, when will I ever succeed in seeking death?
If you really mean well for me, then kill me!
Though he complained inwardly, seeing it was a gesture of goodwill, Yi Feng could only give an official response of thanks.
"Thank you."
After offering a perfunctory, numb-faced cupped-fist salute.
Yuwen Qianyue lightly pushed with her palm. A mechanism activated within the jade bricks of the hall, and a seemingly bottomless underground passage with stone steps appeared by the left wall!
What kind of opportunity was this?
Yi Feng stared blankly, but Yuwen Qianyue had already slowly risen to her feet, smiling as she looked his way.
"Yi Feng."
"This is an underground treasure vault. This Venerable One has prepared a gift for you. You will find it once you go down. Do not disappoint my expectations."
Another gift...
Yi Feng was tired just hearing it.
However, it's hard to refuse such earnest hospitality. He could only reluctantly express thanks and step inside.
Watching Yi Feng walk into the passage, his figure gradually swallowed by the deep darkness, Yuwen Qianyue finally revealed a cold smile. With a wave of her sleeve, she sealed the exit!
"Boom!"
A soft sound echoed as the jade bricks closed seamlessly.
The hall returned to its original state. No one would ever imagine there was a passage here, and that a Snowstorm Island disciple had entered it!
Finally.
Yuwen Qianyue slowly sat back down, letting out a long, relieved sigh.
She then sent a message summoning a subordinate and issued a cold-eyed order.
"Relay this Venerable One's command: On the Heavenly Ranking list, change Yi Feng's name to An Shixuan!"
The person who arrived cupped their fists in acknowledgment, a look of confusion on their face.
"Venerable One."
"Forgive this subordinate for speaking out of turn, but the Heavenly Ranking list is a matter of great importance. I'm afraid it's not convenient to alter it lightly..."
Yuwen Qianyue fixed them with an indifferent gaze, her tone extremely serious.
"Yi Feng's cultivation went awry, he fell into demonic deviation and has already perished. How can he continue to occupy a spot on the Heavenly Ranking? This vacant position naturally should be given to another elite."
Hearing this, the subordinate trembled, a look of pity appearing on their face as they responded.
"Yes, I shall respectfully obey the Venerable One's command!"
The Heavenly Ranking list changing hands was an extremely rare event. The fall of an island elite was particularly lamentable. For these two major, uncommon tragedies to happen simultaneously was even more shocking.
What was even more astonishing was that both these rare, unfortunate events were closely linked to Yi Feng, the mortal-star genius who had just risen to prominence. Naturally, the news spread like wildfire.
In a luxurious cave abode.
An Shixuan, upon hearing the rumors, excitedly clapped his hands and stood up!
"Excellent!"
"He died well!"
"Such scum, who doesn't know his place, actually dared to oppose this young master repeatedly. This is the fate he deserved!"
An Daohai remained seated in the main position. While his eyes showed satisfaction, he didn't forget to coldly admonish his son.
"Xuan'er, have you forgotten your father's teachings!"
"Those who achieve great things must never show their joy openly. Although your talent is not ordinary, your temperament has made limited progress. Relying on so-called innate gifts, you neglected arduous cultivation. Previously, you were actually defeated by a mortal-star cultivator. Do you still not realize this?"
These few cold words immediately startled An Shixuan into bowing and admitting his fault.
"Father's teaching is correct. Your child acknowledges his mistake!"
"From now on, with the support of the Heavenly Ranking resources and the chance to enter the top-secret pavilions of Frostwind Island, I will truly reform and not disappoint my father's expectations!"
Hearing these words, An Daohai finally gave a slight nod.
Although the major affair was already settled, being just another anticipated outcome, he still felt uneasy within. This cautious temperament and profound shrewdness truly lived up to the saying 'old ginger is hotter'.
After pondering for a few breaths, he headed alone to the Heavenly Hall.
Meeting with Yuwen Qianyue again, the two were noticeably much closer, chatting, laughing, and drinking tea with ease and comfort.
After a few polite exchanges,
An Daohai narrowed his eyes with a smile and asked,
"Honored Yuwen, this old man has occasionally heard that the mortal star genius unfortunately perished. Is this true?"
As his words fell, Yuwen Qianyue already wore a smile.
With no one else around now, she cast a cold glance towards the left side of the great hall and laid out everything without concealment.
"Friend An, you worry too much."
"There is a secret passage here that leads directly to the Demon-Suppressing Prison. Once any living being enters beyond thirty feet, they are inevitably overwhelmed by the demonic creatures! That Yi Feng was personally confined into the passage by me. With no other exit, how could there be any path to survival?"
Hearing this, a flicker of surprise passed through An Daohai's eyes.
"The Demon-Suppressing Prison?!"
"Is that the legendary Ten-Thousand Demon Cavern, the hidden place on Frostwind Island where all kinds of demonic leaders are imprisoned?"
Yuwen Qianyue gave a faint nod, the smile in her eyes evident.
Seeing this response, An Daohai was greatly pleased and expressed his admiration!
"A mortal star cultivator, entering that Ten-Thousand Demon Cavern, has absolutely no possibility of survival. I have long heard of the Honored One's swift decisiveness and resolute execution, and it is truly well-deserved!"
"This old man is utterly impressed!"
"Hahaha..."
The two clinked cups, using tea instead of wine, their faces full of the relaxed satisfaction of a major task accomplished.
