Chapter 1669: Chapter 1658: Recruiting Allies
Ye Chenfeng glanced at all the young people behind Feng Guangshan, Fan Zhiyong, and Xie Zhenglong, finding that the weakest was also at the initial stage of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm.
After entering the Dragon Origin Secret Realm, Ye Chenfeng did have some means of self-preservation. However, he was worried about Zuo Feibai and Li Yanyan. If the two of them encountered the disciples of the three major sects in the secret realm, they would be in great danger.
Standing behind Feng Guangshan of the Wind Thunder Sect were six youths, behind Fan Zhiyong of Sword Feather Villa stood five youths, and behind Xie Zhenglong of the Star Cloud Sect were six youths.
Originally, the four first-rank sects and the Red Flame Sect each had five Dragon Bone Tokens, but the Wind Thunder Sect, Sword Feather Villa, and Star Cloud Sect previously forced the Red Flame Sect to hand over three Dragon Bone Tokens, which they divided among themselves.
Not long ago, Ye Chenfeng killed Zhang Shengcai of Sword Feather Villa and obtained a Dragon Bone Token from him, which is why only five from Sword Feather Villa could enter the Dragon Origin Secret Realm this time.
The Dragon Bone Token Ye Chenfeng gave to Zuo Feibai was the one from the Red Flame Sect back then, and the one Ye Chenfeng was carrying was the one obtained from Zhang Shengcai.
The disciples behind Feng Guangshan, Fan Zhiyong, and Xie Zhenglong knew nothing about the grudge between their ancestors and Ye Chenfeng, and these three old men would certainly not tell others about such a humiliating incident.
Feng Guangshan and the others remained silent with gloomy expressions, knowing that no matter how angry they were, they could not act here.
The ancestor of Sword Feather Villa, Fan Zhiyong, suddenly felt a familiar aura from Ye Chenfeng. Every Dragon Bone Token of Sword Feather Villa carried a unique aura left by its ancestor, which no one else could erase.
After a moment of suspicion, Fan Zhiyong’s eyes burned with even greater anger as he asked word by word, "You little bastard, is one of our Sword Feather Villa’s Dragon Bone Tokens on you? Did you kill our disciple Zhang Shengcai?"
Upon hearing this, the ancestors of Wind Thunder Sect, Feng Guangshan, and Star Cloud Sect, Xie Zhenglong, narrowed their eyes slightly. After all, disciples of Wind Thunder Sect and Star Cloud Sect were also with Zhang Shengcai back then, and they had quite good qualifications.
However, not long ago, all of Zhang Shengcai’s and his companions’ Lifebound Tokens shattered, meaning they were all killed, which was a clear provocation to Wind Thunder Sect, Sword Feather Villa, and Star Cloud Sect.
At this point, Ye Chenfeng saw no reason to hide the truth. After all, with three of them entering the Dragon Origin Secret Realm, even if he denied it now, the ancestors of the three major sects would likely guess it when the secret realm opened.
Ye Chenfeng straightforwardly declared, "Indeed, I killed several disciples of Wind Thunder Sect, Sword Feather Villa, and Star Cloud Sect recently. Do you want revenge for your disciples? I’m right here. Come and kill me if you dare, instead of babbling incessantly."
The ancestors of Wind Thunder Sect, Feng Guangshan, Sword Feather Villa, Fan Zhiyong, and Star Cloud Sect, Xie Zhenglong, were furious, their noses nearly crooked with anger, yet they suppressed their rage.
And then, the talented disciples of Wind Thunder Sect, Chen Yuanhan, Sword Feather Villa, Jiang Yutang, and Star Cloud Sect, Shi Tianning, stepped out from their ancestors’ shadows, looking at Ye Chenfeng with utter disdain because they perceived him to be at the early stage of the Second Heavenly Layer of Creation Realm.
Chen Yuanhan and the others couldn’t fathom who gave this young brat, at such a meager level of Second Heavenly Layer of Creation Realm, the courage to challenge their ancestors.
Jiang Yutang of Sword Feather Villa said indifferently, "Brat, hand over our Sword Feather Villa’s Dragon Bone Token, then cripple your own tendons and wait for us to give you a swift end when we come out from the Dragon Origin Secret Realm."
"Ignorant brat, do you think just because we can’t fight here, you’re free to be arrogant? If you dare step into the Dragon Origin Secret Realm, or if anyone from the Red Flame Sect dares, I’ll ensure none of you come out alive. Now, kowtow and apologize to our ancestor, and let our Wind Thunder Sect handle you," Chen Yuanhan of Wind Thunder Sect sneered.
Shi Tianning of Star Cloud Sect spoke blandly, "Garbage. You and the Red Flame Sect are both trash with no qualification to enter the Dragon Origin Secret Realm."
Insulted by these three juniors, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an of the Red Flame Sect felt their anger rising. The three major sects had forced three Dragon Bone Tokens from the Red Flame Sect back then, clearly an act of banditry.
Zuo Feibai and Li Yanyan were also visibly indignant, but Ye Chenfeng’s expression remained mostly unchanged. He glanced at Jiang Yutang, Chen Yuanhan, and Shi Tianning and said calmly, "Are you the talented ones from the three major sects? You know what I love most? Crushing talents. So, you three are destined to be crushed by me. You’re just full of nonsense. If you have the guts, make a move instead of chattering like old women. It’s embarrassing."
Jiang Yutang, Chen Yuanhan, and Shi Tianning, revered even by their inner sect elders, were nettled by such defiance from an unknown youngster, clenching their teeth in rage, yet they dared not act here.
And just then.
Six more people suddenly appeared in this strange space—two men and four women. Leading them was a woman of flawless complexion, long brows, gentle features, and cascading black hair. Her true age was indiscernible, and she exuded a frigid aura keeping people at a distance.
This woman was Su Bingyun, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sound Sect, with a cultivation at the latter stage of the Second Heavenly Layer of Nirvana Realm.
In her generation, Su Bingyun was an absolute genius, outshining the Sect Masters of the other three major sects. At such a young age, she had achieved Nirvana Realm power, with extraordinary combat ability.
In Su Bingyun’s arms was a woman in her twenties, pale-faced, breathing weakly, with cold sweat occasionally seeping from her forehead, teeth slightly clenched as if enduring pain.
This woman’s beauty rivaled Su Bingyun’s, though she was more immature. Her name was Yu Shuiyao, a peerless genius of Heavenly Sound Sect, at the early stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Creation Realm, comparable in strength to Chen Yuanhan of Wind Thunder Sect.
When Su Bingyun and others from Heavenly Sound Sect appeared, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an briefly introduced them to Ye Chenfeng. He noticed with interest that Yu Shuiyao was in poor condition, likely poisoned and not by ordinary poison.
Su Bingyun, upon entering the strange space, directly approached Poison King Feng Guangshan with Yu Shuiyao in her arms and said coldly, "Senior Feng, if you can save my disciple Yu Shuiyao, our Heavenly Sound Sect owes you a debt. We will not refuse anything within our power."
Yu Shuiyao, while training alone outside for the Dragon Origin Secret Realm’s opening, returned to Heavenly Sound Sect poisoned not long ago, unaware when or where she was poisoned.
No ancestor of Heavenly Sound Sect could neutralize the poison within Yu Shuiyao, and with Spiritual Medicine Valley nearly destroyed and no fourth-rank alchemists available, Heavenly Sound Sect couldn’t seek their assistance.
As Yu Shuiyao weakened and the secret realm was about to open, Su Bingyun decided to let Poison King Feng Guangshan try, knowing he was adept at both poisoning and antidoting.
Wind Thunder Sect’s ancestor, Poison King Feng Guangshan, knowing Heavenly Sound Sect highly values promises, thought their favor could greatly benefit Wind Thunder Sect.
Understanding Su Bingyun’s decisiveness, he promptly examined Yu Shuiyao’s condition for his sect’s benefit.
Moments later, Feng Guangshan frowned, shook his head, and said, "Sect Master Su, this girl is poisoned by the Thousand Extinction Flower, and I’m afraid no one in this world can cure it. I must beg off."
From a distance, Ye Chenfeng had been waiting for this opportunity. If he could gain the Heavenly Sound Sect as an ally, it would be advantageous for him, Zuo Feibai, and Li Yanyan in the Dragon Origin Secret Realm.
Ye Chenfeng cleared his throat and shouted, "I might be able to give it a try. Maybe I can help cleanse the poison in her body."
