Chapter 2104: Chapter 2104: Conflict? Apology!

"Look, that disciple of the Misty Holy Sect is heading towards Soaring Sky City, probably to meet up with Ye Feng."

"This girl can slay a Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable across levels, her future is limitless. We should make her acquaintance. For the Misty Holy Sect to cultivate such a prodigy, what kind of person is Sect Leader Ye Feng? I really want to witness it firsthand."

Everyone was talking animatedly.

At this moment, in Fei Hong’s residence within Soaring Sky City.

Ye Feng’s eyes sparkled.

[Sect Achievement Count +1]

[Prestige Points +1.25 million]

This was the notification he received, indicating that yet another sect member had slain a powerful enemy across levels.

[Number of Heavenly Venerables in the Sect: 95/100]

[Sect Achievement Count: 45/100]

After checking the panel, Ye Feng realized that the number of Heavenly Venerables in the sect was nearing a hundred, but only 45 members had achieved slaying strong enemies across levels. More effort was needed.

"Sect Leader, I’ve arrived in Soaring Sky City."

In the Void Heavenly World, a strand of Ye Feng’s soul fragment received the voice of the second-generation disciple Lan Die.

"I’m at the residence of Young City Lord Fei Hong, having dinner with prodigies from various forces. If you’re coming, just declare your identity as a disciple of the Misty Holy Sect."

Ye Feng transmitted a message.

"Understood." Lan Die nodded.

At the dinner party, Ye Feng said to a maid in blue beside him, "A disciple of mine named Lan Die will be coming shortly. Please ensure the guards let her in."

"Yes." The maid in blue nodded and quickly went to make arrangements, so as not to offend the guest.

Outside Soaring Sky City.

Lan Die soon arrived there, went through the inspection at the city gate, paid the entrance fee, and successfully entered the bustling Soaring Sky City, heading towards the Young City Lord’s residence.

"Look, that’s Lan Die."

"Who is Lan Die?"

"A disciple of the Misty Holy Sect. She just broke through to the One-Turn Heavenly Venerable and already slew a Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable. Impressive!"

"What kind of power is the Misty Holy Sect?"

"It was founded by Ye Feng. It’s said Ye Feng is a prodigy with the cultivation level of a Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable, very powerful, and also has the ability to slay enemies across levels. It’s surprising that even his disciples are so formidable, truly gifted."

"Being able to slay enemies across levels is indeed impressive."

Everyone was discussing fervently.

"It seems the Sect Leader is quite famous." Listening to the discussions, Lan Die saw she was about to reach Young Master Fei Hong’s residence.

"Stop, you wench!"

A shout rang out, and following the voice, Lan Die saw three burly figures approaching: two Third-Turn Heavenly Venerables and one Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerable.

Their appearance resembled that of Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable.

They were from the same clan.

"It’s the Bull Demon Clan."

"The Bull Demon Clan is a major clan with several Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerables, and one at the peak of Nine-Turn who is said to be close to breaking through to a Dao Monarch."

"The Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable that Lan Die slew was a member of the Bull Demon Clan."

"Haha, this is typically killing the young while the elders come out to settle scores."

The crowd started to watch the drama unfold.

"Third-Turn and Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerables!" Lan Die fixed her gaze on the three Bull Demon Clan Heavenly Venerables, knowing she couldn’t defeat them, and hurried towards the Young City Lord’s residence.

"Trying to escape? Humph!"

The Bull Demon Clan’s Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerable decisively struck. A grasp of a large hand formed from laws enveloped Lan Die in an instant, firmly suppressing her.

"Sect Leader, I’m trapped." Lan Die quickly transmitted a message through the Void Heavenly World.

Inside the Young City Lord’s residence.

Everyone, my disciple has been stopped by the Bull Demon Clan, excuse me for a moment." Ye Feng stood up and walked towards the door, catching Lin Daotong and the others’ attention.

"I’ll go with you." Tian Qi immediately stood up. Although he usually spoke little, he was always ready to act.

"Ye Feng, I’ll come with you too." Zhou Yan certainly wouldn’t let Ye Feng face danger alone.

"It’s a small matter, you all continue drinking, don’t mind me, I can resolve it easily." Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively, then said to Fei Hong, "Young City Lord, I need to take care of a small issue, excuse me."

"Alright." Fei Hong nodded.

Immediately, Ye Feng and the Radiant Daoist left the Young City Lord’s residence one after another, arousing the curiosity of the present prodigies.

"That peak Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable servant is actually Ye Feng’s servant? I initially thought it was Zhou Yan’s servant!"

"Am I seeing things?"

Several prodigies were astonished.

Zhou Yan laughed, "That servant is indeed a servant of Fellow Daoist Ye Feng."

"A Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable with a peak Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable servant, this Sect Master Ye is quite low-profile! Could it be that he’s a Young Master of some hegemon-level power who went out on his own to create the Misty Holy Sect?"

"It’s not out of the realm of possibility."

The prodigies turned their heads, gazing intently.

Some looked at Ye Feng with newfound respect, thinking he had potential to be roped in.

In Soaring Sky City.

"Little wench, you dare to kill our Bull Demon Clan’s Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable, aren’t you tired of living?" The Bull Demon Clan’s Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerable sneered and was about to exert force to crush Lan Die, intending to intimidate all parties.

But the next moment.

A sharp Sword Qi sliced down, splitting the handprint of the Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerable apart. The Sword Qi then turned around in mid-air and knocked that person away.

"Who?"

The Bull Demon Clan’s Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerable roared in anger, warily looking around. Then, he noticed a young man in a white robe standing with arms crossed beside Lan Die.

"Who are you?"

"Misty Holy Sect Leader, Ye Feng."

"Oh, so you are the master of this wench’s sect. Very well, Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable, you’re something. But your disciple killed our Bull Demon Clan’s member, so I want your entire sect to pay with their lives!" The Bull Demon Clan’s Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerable was initially shocked, then sneered.

Since even the Sect Leader is just a Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable, this Misty Holy Sect can’t be that strong.

Easy to crush with blood!

However, despite the harsh words, the Bull Demon Clan’s Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerable quickly retreated, knowing he couldn’t win against Ye Feng, a Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable. He had to bide his time.

"Did I say you could leave?" Ye Feng said, merely flicking out a strand of Sword Qi, which pierced through the chests of the three Bull Demon Clan’s Heavenly Venerables, nailing them to the wall.

"How dare you, release us!"

That Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerable rebuked loudly, relying on the backing of his Bull Demon Clan, which had Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerables seated, hence his bravado.

Not far away.

The Radiant Daoist stood at a corner, quite a distance from Ye Feng, so not many knew they were together, thinking they could be easily bullied too.

Ye Feng looked at the three Bull Demon Clan Heavenly Venerables pinned on the wall, "Our Misty Holy Sect’s disciples are currently being tempered everywhere, slaying those Heavenly Venerables who commit crimes and wrongdoing. If your Bull Demon Clan’s Heavenly Venerable was killed, it means he was up to no good, he deserved to die. And you’ve made a move against my disciple, so you deserve to die too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng looked at the three Bull Demon Clan Heavenly Venerables, and as his clenched fist suddenly loosened.

It was as if a flower blossomed.

Bang!

The three Bull Demon Clan Heavenly Venerables exploded, their bodies reduced to dust, their souls scattering, dead beyond death.

"Gasp!"

"What a ruthless character, daring to kill Heavenly Venerables of a major clan like the Bull Demon Clan in broad daylight."

The crowd cast looks of reverence towards Ye Feng.

At this moment, Ye Feng waved his wide sleeve, absorbing the exploded origin substance, infusing it into the Great Dao Treasure Vase, then glanced at Lan Die beside him with a smile on his face.

"Lan Die, you slew a Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable across levels, well done. Once we return, you’ll naturally be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Lan Die was very happy, although she couldn’t match Third-Turn and Fourth-Turn Heavenly Venerables, if the sky were to fall, her Sect Leader would hold it up. She felt a bit moved.

Moments later.

The two entered Young Master Fei Hong’s residence and continued to enjoy the banquet feast.

"Is this Lan Die?"

"Indeed, she is very pretty. Who would have thought such a delicate beauty is a prodigy who can kill a Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable of the Bull Demon Clan across realms."

The crowd appraised Lan Die with smiles on their faces.

Defeating and killing across realms are completely different concepts. Many present can defeat opponents across realms, but killing is much harder.

Those capable of killing across realms make up less than ten percent among Heavenly Venerables.

"The compliments from you seniors are too much."

Lan Die raised her wine cup to toast the crowd.

The talents present mostly hailed from hegemon-level powers of Yunzhou, starting from Four or Five-Turn Heavenly Venerables, peers of Ye Feng, hence considered her seniors.

Young Master Fei Hong glanced at Ye Feng.

"Fellow Ye Feng, killing a Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable of the Bull Demon Clan is no small matter. They have several Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerables and will not rest easily. But for me, this is a small issue. If needed, I can mediate."

Fei Hong was filled with confidence.

Who was he? The Young Master of Soaring Sky City! His father was a Dao Monarch, with several powerful Dao Monarchs under his command who could effortlessly obliterate the Bull Demon Clan, a power without a resident Dao Monarch.

"No need, I alone can wipe out a power without a stationed Dao Monarch."

Ye Feng patted his chest.

Fei Hong was confident, but Ye Feng was even more confident.

"Oh?"

The talents present had glinting eyes. Earlier, upon discovering Ye Feng had an old servant at the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable peak, they determined Ye Feng was likely a young master from a hegemon-level power.

Now, Ye Feng’s words confirmed their guess.

"Come, come!"

"Continue with the music and dance!"

"The Bull Demon Clan is just a minor episode. Everyone, don’t mind them. Continue drinking!"

Fei Hong raised his wine cup high and continued drinking.

At this moment, far billions of miles away.

In the center of a vast green prairie.

Crack!

A burly, dark-skinned middle-aged man with a golden nose ring angrily smashed his wine cup, and abruptly stood from his white bone-crafted throne.

"Clan Leader, please calm down."

"Clan Leader, what has happened?"

Below, dozens of high-ranking Heavenly Venerables saw their clan leader’s fury and quickly asked.

"Someone has killed our clan’s Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable! That’s a mid-rank Heavenly Venerable, the future of our clan. Pass my order, quickly find out who did this."

The Bull Demon Clan Chief said in a deep voice.

"Daring to kill our clan’s Heavenly Venerable, regardless of who it is, even if backed by a hegemon-level power... Hmm, if backed by such power, then pretend we don’t know. But if not, kill them!"

"Yes."

Several high-ranking Heavenly Venerables left the hall, ordering lower and mid-ranking Heavenly Venerables to find out the truth.

Half a day later.

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, we have discovered there were two killers: one is Ye Feng, the Sect Master of the Misty Holy Sect in Haizhou, the other is Lan Die, a disciple of the Misty Holy Sect, one is a Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable, the other a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, both prodigies capable of killing across realms."

A dark-skinned Heavenly Venerable reported.

"A mere Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable, even if capable of killing across realms, can be suppressed by sending a Seventh-Turn Heavenly Venerable. But those capable of killing across realms usually have backing; has this matter been clarified?" the Bull Demon Clan Chief asked.

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, accompanying Ye Feng from Haizhou are Zhou Yan and Tian Qi, both from hegemon-level powers. Especially Zhou Yan, whose father is the Sect Master of the Chaos Dao Sect in Haizhou, a Dao Monarch at the Peak."

The informant continued reporting.

Concerned about the safety of the Bull Demon Clan, he researched carefully and quickly added:

"It is rumored that Ye Feng has an old servant at the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable peak. Some speculate Ye Feng is a young master of a hegemon-level power, and became the Misty Holy Sect Leader perhaps to start his own venture."

Everyone’s expression changed upon hearing this.

The venue quickly erupted into heated discussion.

"Even if Ye Feng is not truly from a hegemon-level power, having friends like Tian Qi and Zhou Yan from such powers is significant, and with a Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable servant, he is not to be trifled with."

"Case closed!"

"The reason the Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable was killed by Ye Feng’s disciple Lan Die was because he enslaved millions."

"I see!"

"Although we all enjoy enslaving the weak, in this matter, we lack justification. Considering only one Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable, two Third-Turn Heavenly Venerables, and one Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable died, let’s drop it."

"Right, let’s not pursue Ye Feng."

"Especially, since the other party has hegemon-level backing."

Many high-ranking Heavenly Venerables decided to not escalate the matter and not pursue Ye Feng’s culpability.

"That’s not enough!"

The Bull Demon Clan Chief said in a deep voice, "To prevent any revenge from Ye Feng, I suggest we immediately bring generous gifts to Soaring Sky City to apologize to Ye Feng."

"How can this be?"

"We are a major power, and Clan Leader, you seem close to breaking through to Dao Monarch."

The crowd felt they should not bow their heads.

Not pursuing Ye Feng’s culpability seemed sufficient.

The Bull Demon Clan Chief cursed, "What fools! Although this Clan Leader has reached the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable peak for years, and once transmitted rumors of nearing a Dao Monarch breakthrough, those were purposely spread false claims to deter hostile powers from attacking."

"What?"

"Does this mean, Clan Leader, you still cannot break through to Dao Monarch? Alas, I thought our Bull Demon Clan was about to ascend to hegemon-level!"

The high-ranking Heavenly Venerables of the Bull Demon Clan were very frustrated.

Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and several Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable powerhouses were all speechless.

Turns out they were all deceived by the Clan Leader.

The Bull Demon Clan Chief pounded the table, "So, hurry and prepare gifts and follow me to Soaring Sky City to beg forgiveness from Ye Feng, lest disaster befall our clan."

"Yes." The crowd quickly prepared gifts.

One hour later.

The crowd set off grandly.

"Look, dozens of high-ranking Heavenly Venerables of the Bull Demon Clan, led by the Clan Leader, nearly the entire clan mobilized, heading to Soaring Sky City, likely to cause trouble for Ye Feng."

Someone saw this scene and exclaimed.

Soaring Sky City.

The banquet had ended.

Ye Feng, Lan Die, Tian Qi, Zhou Yan, and Radiant Daoist were walking through the city, about to arrive at the True Dragon Commerce Association’s branch to purchase treasures.

"Ye Feng!"

At that moment, the Bull Demon Clan Chief led dozens of high-ranking Heavenly Venerables and arrived nearby, menacingly, causing the atmosphere to instantly become tense.

The surrounding onlookers held their breath.

They believed a big battle was about to break out.

Even Ye Feng, Zhou Yan, Tian Qi, and the others had serious expressions, prepared for a fight.

But, in an instant.

"Ye Feng, correct? The previous matter was a misunderstanding; please do not take it to heart!" To everyone’s astonished eyes, the Bull Demon Clan Chief stepped forward three paces, respectfully clasped his fists at Ye Feng, and expressed his apologies.

"How can this be?"

The onlookers nearly dropped their jaws in shock, and even Ye Feng, Zhou Yan, and the others were taken aback.
