The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Developing the Town, Rare Moments of Peace and Tranquility

“`

Hearing the words of the Grand Hall Master, the Paper Fan Young Master’s expression remained unchanged, yet he breathed a sigh of relief inside.

Before returning to the Blood Demon Hall, he had personally made some predictions to confirm there was no danger to his life, which gave him the courage to return.

In order to deceive others, he chose to slightly alter the details of his excursion with the Vice Hall Master.

After all, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect had already been annihilated.

In this world, no one else knew that he had been the mastermind behind the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect.

By saying this, no one would come forward to question him.

“Grand Hall Master, when shall we attack the Misty Sect?” a burly man clad in blood-colored battle armor asked at this time.

The Grand Hall Master of the Blood Demon Hall, with his hands clasped behind his back and his robe fluttering without wind, pondered for a moment before saying, “Do you all understand the Misty Sect?”

At this, everyone fell into silence.

To be honest, their understanding of the Misty Sect was not very extensive; most of it was hearsay.

As for visiting the Misty Sect, no one here had done so.

To claim a true understanding was, of course, impossible.

The Paper Fan Young Master, skilled at divining, thought briefly and then said, knowing the concerns of the Blood Demon Hall Master:

“Hall Master, are you worried that behind the Misty Sect lies an even more formidable force as a support?”

The Blood Demon Hall Master nodded.

Sitting in his seat, he said, “The sudden rise of the Misty Sect could not have been without the support of a powerful backer. Although the current strength that Ye Feng has shown would enable me to suppress him, there is no guarantee that he doesn’t have powerful backers of his own.”

Speaking of which, the Hall Master paused, “We must plan carefully before acting!”

The Paper Fan Young Master’s face slightly changed, “Does the Hall Master intend to send spies?”

The Blood Demon Hall Master shook his head, “No, there’s no need. We will simply send more scouts into the Southern River Basin, observe every move of the Misty Sect closely, and grasp the full picture of the opponent.”

“Then, when shall we attack?” someone asked.

“The tallest tree in the forest is the one most likely to be blown down by the wind. The Misty Sect’s reputation is well known; surely there are those in the Royal Capital of the Mystique Kingdom unable to sit still. We’ll just watch the tigers fight from the mountainside. There’s no rush to make a move until the right moment,” said the Blood Demon Hall Master with a laugh.

He was naturally cautious and also quite strong, not inclined to take risks.

The others understood his intentions and nodded, showing their agreement.

…

Misty Sect.

Ye Feng sat on a recliner, with Princess Hu Feifei moving about beside him, making tea, watering flowers, fanning to keep cool, her long legs swaying, which made Ye Feng feel somewhat dizzy.

“This life, how wonderful!”

Ye Feng ate a grape, very sweet and refreshing.

“Sect Leader, I’ve come to report the recent developments of the Sect.” Gong Qingqiu came over holding a thick book.

“Go ahead!” Ye Feng said.

“Okay.” Gong Qingqiu opened the book and began to provide a fairly detailed report.

“At the current stage, dozens more new disciples have been recognized by the Fate Purple Gold Bell and become probationary disciples.”

“The Second-generation Disciples have mostly broken through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement and completed a task, advancing to the rank of Outer Sect Disciple.”

“Among the First Generation Disciples, Yu Su, Yu Wei, Ouyang Yu, Ouyang Feng, Xia He, and Qiu Ju have just made a breakthrough to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement.”

“The other First Generation Disciples have largely reached the Element Gathering Realm, with the remainder in closed-door cultivation, aiming for a breakthrough.”

“Newly appointed Stewards, with the assistance of Chief Steward Chu Yun’er, have now adapted to the Sect and have been assigned different tasks, with everything running in an orderly fashion.”

“Recently, quite a few people have voluntarily relocated to Whitefloat City, with the city’s total population just exceeding 2.5 million.”

“That is all for this report.”

Gong Qingqiu handed the ancient book over.

Ye Feng looked through the book for a while and nodded.

“Not bad, the disciples are progressing well. All First Generation Disciples have been promoted to the Inner Sect, and among the Second Generation Disciples, Ning Xiangxiang, Lei Xiaohu, Lan Die, and dozens of others have also become Inner Sect Members.”

“It’s a pity, though, that no True Disciples have yet emerged.”

Ye Feng was somewhat disheartened.

Gong Qingqiu said, “I’ve heard that disciples such as Mo Ying, Long Tianxing, and Huo Yunjie are all striving to take on tasks and should not be far from becoming True Disciples.”

“I hope so!” Ye Feng nodded.

The requirements for Disciple assessment were quite high, and to fully meet them, there must be five True Disciples.

Currently, the number of True Disciples was zero.

This was somewhat embarrassing!

“Continue to assign tasks!”

“`

Ye Feng returned the ancient tome to Gong Qingqiu, “Elder Gong, now that you’re done, do put in more effort to cultivate and strive to become a Spirit Sea Realm expert as soon as possible.”

“Yes,” Gong Qingqiu replied as she left.

After she had gone, Ye Feng took out the Refining Furnace to make Identity Tokens for the new disciples.

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

Boom!

From the seventh layer of the Cultivation Tower, there was a surge of spiritual energy storm.

Ye Feng looked over and smiled, “Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu have both passed the last layer of the Cultivation Tower at the same time. Not bad at all!”

Since becoming Element Gathering Realm cultivators, the two women had rarely challenged the tower.

Only recently, stealing some time from their busy schedules, had they charged through the levels and finally reached the seventh layer of the Cultivation Tower, gaining the opportunity to increase their cultivation level.

Whoosh!

As a large amount of nature’s spiritual energy surged towards the two women, their cultivation levels began to surge dramatically, from the peak of the Element Gathering Realm’s first layer right up to the peak of the second layer.

Yan Ruyu, who had a higher talent, was blessed with insight and, relying on her own strength, broke through her bottleneck and entered the third layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

This was a pleasant surprise for Ye Feng.

“Very good, exceptionally good!”

Ye Feng said with a smile.

With the improvement of the disciples’ cultivation levels, his own Flesh Body Strength could increase. For him, the breakthrough of each disciple was good news.

“Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu have both passed the seventh layer of the Cultivation Tower. How enviable!”

“Let’s keep challenging the tower!”

“Let’s set a small goal first, to pass through the tenfold gravity zone!”

As Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu ascended to the seventh layer of the Cultivation Tower, the motivation of the disciples to cultivate suddenly soared.

…

Two thousand li away.

Qiao Jiaxi and Long Tianxing were floating in mid-air, arms folded, looking down coldly at the two-headed evil beast.

After the crisis in the Southern River Basin was resolved, the two teamed up to go out for training and to complete missions along the way.

When they were passing over this medium-sized city below, they happened to see this lower-rank Demon General level two-headed evil beast invading and causing a massacre, devouring hundreds of people.

The pair immediately took action and sent the two-headed evil beast flying.

“Two greenhorns dare to obstruct this general’s cultivation? I’ll devour you first!”

The two-headed evil beast grew ten meters tall, and both heads opened their mouths to bite at Long Tianxing and Qiao Jiaxi.

“Vitality Sword!”

“Silver Dragon Claw!”

Qiao Jiaxi and Long Tianxing’s expression were ice-cold as they both made their move.

With just one strike, both heads of the two-headed evil beast were split apart, its body took a few steps forward, then it fell to the ground, succumbing to inertia.

“Immortal Masters are mighty!”

The survivors in the city knelt down and cheered.

“Everyone, we are Inner Sect Disciples of the Misty Sect, we lend a hand when we see injustice. You don’t need to thank us for great kindness. We’ll take our leave now!”

The two transformed into a gold and a silver streak of light and swiftly departed.

“Hiss!”

“So, they were the famed Misty Sect disciples. No wonder they’re so powerful even at such a young age. I’m going to relocate my family to Whitefloat City!”

“Me too!”

The crowd quickly rolled up their bedding and formed teams to head towards Whitefloat City.

In other places, there were also Misty Sect disciples in action.

Shi Lei, Li Jiaojiao, Huo Yunjie, Mo Ying; they had all broken through to the Element Gathering Realm a long time ago. Some had even passed through the seventh layer of the Cultivation Tower. As long as they completed enough missions, they could be promoted to true disciples.

And now, they were using this rare peaceful time to complete missions at the fastest speed.

As time went by, more and more people relocated to settle in Whitefloat City, and the total population continued to increase.

Finally, on the thirtieth day after the big battle, Ye Feng received a prompt from the System.

“Ding, Whitefloat City’s permanent population has exceeded three million. Congratulations Sect Leader, you have completed the second sub-task!”

Ye Feng, who was lying on a lounger, immediately sat up.

“Done… It’s done?”

Ye Feng felt joy descending from the heavens.
