Chapter 1890 - 1918: Alarmed Elders
Not just Huang Tong, everyone present was stunned and completely unable to accept that Huang Tong had failed like this.
Even though Ye Feng is a genius power equivalent to Dao Venerate, Ye Feng’s cultivation has only ever reached the late stage of Proof of Dao. Everyone is at a loss as to how Ye Feng accomplished this—why Huang Tong is not Ye Feng’s match.
Su Yourong stared at Ye Feng in shock, exclaiming loudly, "That’s impossible! Absolutely impossible! You are merely a Martial Artist at the late stage of Proof of Dao, whereas Senior Brother Huang Tong’s combat power is comparable to a Semi-Saint. How could you defeat him?"
This isn’t just Su Yourong’s question; it’s the question on everyone’s mind. They all want to know why, how Ye Feng managed to so easily defeat Huang Tong.
"Dao Venerate?" Ye Feng’s eyes revealed a disdainful look, "When did I ever say I was a Dao Venerate?"
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone present was startled, their eyes filled with astonishment.
They all felt a flutter in their hearts; it seemed they were associating it with something, yet dared not continue their imaginations.
Ye Feng claimed he was not a Dao Venerate; not a Dao Venerate yet could easily defeat opponents beyond his level—what kind of existence is that?
"What’s going on?" At that moment, a rage-filled shout echoed at the entrance of the Green Lotus Sword Sect.
Upon hearing the shout, everyone present was stunned and then looked towards the direction the sound came from.
They saw an imposing elder, filled with an aura of anger, appearing in everyone’s sight.
That person was none other than one of the seven elders of the Green Lotus Sword Sect, the one in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, Elder Qing Lei!
At this moment, Elder Qing Lei was furious, seeing his disciple Ye Lan gravely injured, and Huang Tong being trodden under foot by Ye Feng made Elder Qing Lei’s face turn dark, his expression exceedingly grim.
But Ye Feng, at this moment, remained calm and composed, looking faintly at Elder Qing Lei.
Elder Qing Lei, with a somber expression, asked Ye Feng, "Feng Ye, what is going on? Why did you severely injure my disciple?"
As soon as he spoke, the terrifying pressure from Elder Qing Lei descended directly on Ye Feng. Even though Ye Feng was strong, Elder Qing Lei was a formidable presence at the mid-stage of Sanctum Ascension, as well as having combat power surpassing ordinary Holy Sect caliber.
Feeling Elder Qing Lei’s pressure, Ye Feng felt uncomfortable for a moment. However, he quickly adapted to the pressure exerted by Elder Qing Lei and casually looked at him, readying to explain.
"Master!" Just then, Ye Lan shouted excitedly, "Master, it’s this bastard Feng Ye. When we went on a mission to the Soul Devouring Clan ruins together with Junior Sister Su Yourong, he betrayed fellow disciples, leading to the deaths of four brothers. And if that wasn’t enough, he did even more excessive things. I was going to take him to the Law Enforcement Hall for questioning.
Not only did he refuse to go, but he also cut off Junior Sister Su Yourong’s arm, gravely injured me and Senior Brother Huang Tong!"
Upon hearing Ye Lan’s words, Elder Qing Lei’s face became more sinister, his mind overwhelmed with anger. After all, Ye Lan and the others were his disciples, and he naturally trusted their words.
Qing Lei understood Ye Lan’s character well; Ye Lan would never dare speak falsehoods to Elder Qing Lei. Elder Qing Lei looked at Ye Feng, "Feng Ye, you are truly arrogant, thinking you are a genius and can be unruly within the Green Lotus Sword Sect?"
Ye Feng casually responded, "Elder Qing Lei, do what you will; you need not waste words. Do you think I’d be afraid of you?"
"What!" Hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone froze. They knew Ye Feng was arrogant, but they hadn’t expected him to be so audacious, considering Elder Qing Lei was ranked among the top three in combat power among the seven elders, with a mid-stage Sanctum Ascension cultivation, Holy Sect tier combat strength—a leading power on the Divine Martial Continent.
Yet facing such a powerful figure, Ye Feng dares to remain so arrogant, giving Elder Qing Lei no respect at all.
Ye Feng understood; Elder Qing Lei would fiercely protect his disciples, trusting that Ye Lan would never deceive him. But Ye Lan was unaware whether Su Yourong might deceive Elder Qing Lei. It was clear Elder Qing Lei was already furious now.
Thus, Elder Qing Lei wouldn’t listen to Ye Feng’s explanations, so Ye Feng didn’t bother explaining—if there was to be a battle, then let it be!
"Feng Ye!" Elder Qing Lei was incredibly angry, his eyes flashing with anger, "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Kneel immediately, admit your wrongdoing, follow me to the Law Enforcement Hall, admit to your crimes, wait for the judgment of me and the other elders, and accept our punishment obediently. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless!"
Yet Ye Feng remained composed, completely indifferent, looking faintly at Elder Qing Lei, "I did nothing wrong; why should I be punished? Elder Qing Lei, if it’s a battle you want, let’s battle. Why such a waste of words capturing me? Do with me as you please!"
"What?" Seeing this moment, everyone was utterly dumbfounded. Ye Feng’s arrogance had completely exceeded their comprehension; it felt like a dream to them, or was Ye Feng simply insane?
Ye Feng’s strength was undeniable; that was something beyond question. However, Elder Qing Lei was far, far stronger than him.
The two were completely different levels of existence. They truly couldn’t understand where Ye Feng’s confidence came from, daring to say such arrogant words, completely disregarding Elder Qing Lei.
"Is Feng Ye courting death? To provoke Elder Qing Lei, is he an idiot?" The surrounding people began discussing fervently.
Long Yu and Jiuyi were both stunned, and then Long Yu anxiously shouted, "Ye Feng, don’t do this. Quickly apologize to Elder Qing Lei, explain things clearly, there’s no need to act like this, it’s all just a misunderstanding!"
"Explain? Will he listen?" Ye Feng shook his head, "Don’t worry, Elder Qing Lei won’t be able to do anything to me."
"What a joke!" Instantly, Elder Qing Lei became furious, his eyes blazing with anger—and a terrifying aura like a storm erupted from Elder Qing Lei’s body, sweeping across the entrance of the Green Lotus Sword Sect.
Instantly, around Elder Qing Lei, the space couldn’t withstand the terrifying pressure and began to twist...
