The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 853: Chapter 854: The Sect Leader Is Not Dead

Du Feng’s words resonated like Hong Lu Clock, echoing across the square, heard by all disciples.

"Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

On the square, the cries rose instantly, all disciples shouting "Senior Brother," and in a blink, his prestige soared to the peak.

After today, his status would undeniably surge, even some elders would have to show him respect.

Liu Qingtai watched this scene, her gaze unchanging. She turned to Hsiao Hai, "Hsiao Hai, can you bear to see me marry Senior Brother?"

Hearing this, Hsiao Hai was shocked, his eyes met Du Feng’s who gestured to him. He immediately laughed, "Senior Sister Qingtai, Senior Brother is a dragon among men, soon to be the future sect leader. You two are a perfect match."

"Hsiao Hai, you!"

Listening to Hsiao Hai’s words, Liu Qingtai’s mental defenses completely shattered.

The man she always relied on actually began to betray her.

Though Hsiao Hai’s strength wasn’t as strong as hers, he always cared for and protected her, making her gradually accept him.

At this time, she recalled Ye Mo’s words, people who appear to be good to you may not truly be good to you.

"Hsiao Hai, is Zheng Hao really your man?"

Liu Qingtai asked.

"Senior Sister Qingtai, as things stand now, I won’t hide it from you. Zheng Hao is my cousin; I deliberately let him lose. Senior Brother said that when he becomes sect leader, he’ll give me an elder position."

Hsiao Hai spoke coldly.

"Qingtai, don’t blame him. I directed all this. Now that you’ve lost the match, with so many witnesses, you can’t overturn it."

Du Feng laughed lightly, pulling Liu Qingtai into his embrace, laughed loudly, "All Heavenly Sword Society disciples, no longer call me Senior Brother, call me ninth generation manor owner."

His rampant laughter spread out, causing some disciples to feel displeased, as the sect leader’s survival was still uncertain.

Of course, many disciples supported Du Feng, all shouting ninth generation manor owner.

"Becoming ninth generation manor owner isn’t that simple!"

Just as everyone was shouting ninth generation manor owner, a loud voice rang out from the crowd. This voice exploded like muffled thunder in water, silencing all disciples and drawing their gaze toward the crowd.

Du Feng’s brows furrowed, scanning the crowd. Before he could find the source, Ye Mo stepped out of the crowd, jumped onto the platform, and looked up at Du Feng in the distant pavilion.

"Master isn’t dead, so there’s no such thing as a ninth generation manor owner, and your bet is void."

Ye Mo said calmly.

"It’s that kid Ye Mo!"

Hsiao Hai stared intently at Ye Mo, his face showing anger.

Du Feng’s expression was extremely dark, today was supposed to establish his authority in Tianyi Sect, yet some fool dared to cause trouble, seeking death indeed.

"Ye Mo, you little servant disciple, get back to your menial tasks!"

Hsiao Hai shouted loudly; Ye Mo had repeatedly caused trouble for him, wishing he could kill him directly on Absolute Sword Platform.

"Who dictated that servant disciples can’t come here? Hsiao Hai, you’ve framed me multiple times, according to sect rules, abolishing your Sword Qi isn’t excessive. Where is the Law Enforcement Elder of the Heavenly Sword Society?"

Ye Mo coldly snorted.

"Hahaha, Ye Mo, who do you think you are, trying to command the Law Enforcement Elder?"

Hsiao Hai laughed dismissively.

"Whether I have the authority or not, see for yourself."

Ye Mo’s hand gripped the Star Sea Sword, drawing it out, the sword’s blade emitting a bright blue light, dazzling on the platform.

"What is that? Is that Master Ye’s sword, Top-grade Celestial Weapon Star Sea Sword?"

"What? Star Sea Sword? Isn’t that the sword representing the sect leader’s identity, which is said to only be carried by the sect leader, to see the sword is to see the person?"

The crowd gazed at the sword in Ye Mo’s hand, erupting in astonishment.

Hidden elders, seeing Ye Mo holding the Star Sea Sword, were visibly shocked.

Liu Xinghai hasn’t been heard from in ten years, yet the Star Sea Sword has resurfaced.

"That’s father’s Star Sea Sword, could he have sent Ye Mo?"

Liu Qingtai stared at the Star Sea Sword, her face full of surprise, followed by a warm current flowing through her heart, realizing her father wasn’t dead.

"Star Sea Sword? How could you possibly have the Star Sea Sword?"

Du Feng stared intently at Ye Mo’s sword, disbelief written all over his face, "I suspect you picked it from Master Ye’s corpse; the Star Sea Sword is Master Ye’s sword, not passed to outsiders."

"Du Feng, you truly are ignorant."

Ye Mo shook his head, despite being guessed correctly, he still wore a smile: "This weapon was passed to me by Elder Liu Xinghai, asking me to return to the Heavenly Sword Society to tell all senior brothers and elders that he’s fine, just delayed by private matters. He intends for Liu Qingtai to take the sect leader position, and he has entrusted me with the Supreme Sword Qi to transfer to Senior Sister Qingtai."

"What? Supreme Sword Qi?"

Du Feng exclaimed.

Hidden elders, appearing one by one, one elder said: "How can you prove your words are true? Without seeing Master Ye himself, I won’t believe it."

"Indeed, regardless of Master Ye’s matters, he wouldn’t fail to appear."

Another elder said.

Ye Mo extended his right hand, an ice-blue Sword Qi floated in his palm, "This Sword Qi was entrusted to me by Elder Liu Xinghai, Ice Soul Sword Qi, very suitable for Senior Sister Qingtai’s cultivation. Elder Liu Xinghai said this was extracted from a Third Rotation of Qiankun sword expert. You should know, extracting intact Sword Qi from a martial artist’s body is extremely difficult, only an expert at the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm like Liu Xinghai could strip another’s Sword Qi cultivation."

Ye Mo’s words landed, leaving all disciples once more astounded, stripping Sword Qi cultivation, especially from a Cosmos Realm expert. It’s not something ordinary people can achieve; only a Wheel of Reincarnation Expert could fully strip Sword Qi cultivation from a Cosmos Realm expert.

The emergence of Ice Soul Sword Qi convinced many of Ye Mo’s claims.

Most importantly, Liu Xinghai has advanced to the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm.

"Relying on your words alone is insufficient to convince the crowd. Since Master Ye entrusted the Star Sea Sword to you, he must value your Sword Qi cultivation greatly. Why not duel with him, how about that?"

Du Feng still refused to believe Liu Xinghai was alive, his words dared to finish, a figure jumped onto the platform, it was none other than Wang Zhong, who previously battled Zheng Hao.

"Du Feng, Ye Mo is merely a martial artist at the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, how could he defeat a Qiankun First Transformation martial artist? Now Ye Mo has provided so much evidence, proving my father isn’t dead. Stop coveting the sect leader’s position."

Liu Qingtai glared at Du Feng, angrily speaking.
