Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Aftermath, Long Qitian and Xia Tiantian
Han Yi was severely injured and went into seclusion to recuperate.

Han Er was just like someone unaffected.

He occasionally planted the Divine Vegetables required daily by the Divine Race in the backyard; other times, he lingered in the Goulan, frolicking with Oiran such as Xiao Hui, Xiao Cui, Xiao Ai, and the others.

…

Sect Main Hall.

Mo Wenshi reported to the tall figure standing against the light, “Hall Master, what happened that day went like this, a protector named Hu Feifei suddenly appeared by Sect Master Ye’s side, and blew up the Demon Fiend in mid-air. The combat power was quite terrifying.”

“According to what you’ve said, Misty Sect’s protector indeed seems very strong,”

the Sect Main Hall Master nodded in agreement.

“Hall Master, is there anything else?”

“No, that’s all.”

“Then your subordinate will take his leave.”

Mo Wenshi exited the main hall.

The Sect Main Hall Master still had his back to the light, gazing towards the direction of Misty Peak, and muttered, “I hope the Tree Ancestor’s prediction is correct; otherwise, my cultivation will come to a halt… But when would be the appropriate time to visit Misty Sect?”

He fell into deep thought.

Thousands of miles away.

Liuyun Sect.

Dong Qiang was restless.

In his sea of knowledge, Hu Yuan had learned the news about Misty Sect, and hearing about the terrifying combat strength of Hu Feifei, he instantly felt a chilling sensation.

After all, he was just a Demon King.

And now, hearing that Hu Feifei could even explode Demon Fiends, even if he could take back the body of the Demon King, he feared that he wouldn’t last a single move and would be blown up on the spot.

Dong Dongqiang, on the other hand, was sneering.

“Just a mere Spirit Sea Realm first level Demon Fiend, even with some strength, what of it? Back in my prime, I was a Divine Origin Realm Great Power nicknamed ‘Heavenly Blood Fiend’. Such practitioners could be snapped death with a slap of my hand.”

Hu Yuan scoffed, “Give it a rest, you’re no longer a Divine Origin Realm Great Power.”

“Shut up, stop undermining me!” Dong Dongqiang reprimanded angrily.

Listening to the two seniors arguing, Dong Qiang was annoyed.

He just wanted to quietly cultivate, to break through to the mid-stage of the Element Gathering Realm as soon as possible and become a Sect Master level powerhouse, and to bring honor to his Sect.

But now, with two old seniors in his sea of knowledge, one a Demon King and the other an even more terrifying Divine Origin Realm Great Power, and they kept quarreling, it was truly vexing.

“Both seniors, please stop quarreling!”

Dong Qiang begged.

“No way, I’m going to argue this old thing to death!” Hu Yuan countered.

“Be careful, or I will make sure we die together!” Dong Dongqiang was not to be outdone.

Dong Qiang could not take it any longer and shouted, “Seniors, if you keep this up, how can I cultivate?”

Hu Yuan and Dong Dongqiang immediately fell silent.

“Alright, I’ll control the body today and begin body tempering,” Hu Yuan suggested.

As a former Demon King, he knew how to enhance the physical body.

“No, today this body will be controlled by me. I shall first enhance the bloodline and cultivation level. The physical body can wait until later,” Dong Dongqiang had a different opinion.

“Seniors, if you keep arguing like this, when will it end? How about this, we draw lots to decide the order. Each of you can control the body for half a day and cultivate. Afterwards, I will familiarize myself with the enhanced cultivation level and physical strength, how about that?”

Dong Qiang came up with a compromise.

Hu Yuan and Dong Dongqiang were silent for a long while.

“Fine.”

Eventually, they both agreed.

After drawing lots, Hu Yuan controlled Dong Qiang’s body for half a day, focusing on painful cultivation of the Demon Race’s techniques to enhance the body’s strength.

Then, Dong Dongqiang would control the body for half a day to cultivate the bloodline and cultivation level.

As for Dong Qiang, he was responsible for lying down and leveling up.

The three of them took turns controlling the body, continuously improving at a fast pace.

…

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

The commotion over Misty Sect’s ascension to higher ranking gradually subsided.

Ye Feng opened the System panel.

[Sect Prestige Value: 794037]

Seeing that the Prestige Value was close to eight hundred thousand, Ye Feng’s lips curved into a slight smile.

“Perhaps within half a month, we could break through a million and unlock the fifth order of the Spirit Beast Pavilion, gaining brand new functions,”

Glancing around, Ye Feng saw Jia Yulan, Shi Lei, Li Jiaojiao, and Ji Ziling cultivating under the golden willow tree.

Their bodies radiated spiritual light, looking quite divine.

“Thanks to the golden willow tree, the disciples’ cultivation speed is faster, and their foundations are more solid. It also owes much to the gift from the Sect Main Hall Master.”

With the improvement of the disciples’ cultivation levels, Ye Feng could feel his own power growing stronger, and his heart filled with joy.

Dang!

The melodious sound of a bell came from the foot of the mountain.

“Someone’s here?”

Ye Feng walked towards the edge of the cliff, somewhat expectant, “Is it a newcomer looking to join our Misty Sect?”

Many people had come during this time, but unfortunately, none met the entry requirements, much to Ye Feng’s chagrin.

At the edge of the cliff.

Ye Feng looked down and saw a man and a woman standing at the mountain gate at the base of the mountain, beside them was the Summoning Bell, still trembling slightly.

“Why is it him? And who is that other woman?”

Ye Feng was stunned.

The man turned out to be Long Qitian!

Ye Feng never expected Long Qitian to appear here.

Because the probability was too low.

“Tian Xing, your cousin is here, go and have a look,” Ye Feng took out the communication order, and messaged Long Tianxing.

“My cousin? Could it be Cousin Long Qitian!”

Long Tianxing put away the communication order and immediately stepped on the Qingfeng Sword forged by Ye Feng, whizzing past the mountains and landing at the bottom of the mountain.

“Cousin, why have you come?”

Long Tianxing landed on the ground and saw Long Qitian dressed in a white shirt, noticing that the other had grown a lot taller, his dark circles were gone, and his eyes were much purer than in the past, as if he had become a different person.

To be precise, he had become a more honest person.

“Cousin, congratulations! I heard Misty Sect has now become a One-Star Forces, and not only Sect Master Ye but also the protectors have strong powers, not much weaker than a Two-Star Rank force,” Long Qitian greeted with cupped hands, more polite than before.

“Ah Tian, is this your cousin Tian Xing?” The young woman beside him, dressed in a green glazed openwork long skirt, smiled and spoke.

“Who is this?” Long Tianxing was quite curious about her identity.

Long Qitian introduced her, “This is my dao… fellow sect sister, named Xia Tiantian, Xia for summer and Tian for sky.”

Halfway through, he blushed, hurriedly correcting himself.

Xia Tiantian gave Long Qitian a white look and said, “We are fellow disciples from Biyue Villa. Over the past few months we’ve known each other, we’ve gotten along very well, and now we’re essentially betrothed.”

“Betrothed? You mean, you two are going to become dual cultivation companions?” Long Tianxing was surprised and took a step back in shock.

“It should be soon. Once we both reach the peak of the Ninth Qi Refinement level, we will prepare a wedding banquet,” Xia Tiantian said boldly, without a hint of shyness.

In contrast, Long Qitian now seemed to be under the sway of his “wife’s strictness,” a bit bashful, and his cheeks turned red when he heard the word “wedding banquet.”

Seeing this, Long Tianxing was shocked.

Is this still my cousin who was once lawless and unrestrained?

However, it was good that Long Qitian had found a restraint, and his cultivation level had improved to the seventh peak of Qi Refinement after not seeing him for a few months.

Thinking of this, Long Tianxing cupped his hands in congratulations, “Greetings to my future cousin-in-law.”

“Such sweet words,” Xia Tiantian laughed lightly with a hand over her mouth.

Long Qitian coughed and said, “Cousin, we came to visit you and also to pay our respects to Sect Master Ye.”

“But I’m not sure if the Sect Master would be willing to meet you.”

Long Tianxing was in a dilemma.

“Let them come up!”

From the sky above, came the robust voice of Ye Feng, resounding like thunder.

Just at the seventh peak of Qi Refinement, Long Qitian and Xia Tiantian looked up in the direction of the voice and saw the clouds dispersing automatically around the mountainside, allowing them to see a handsome young man standing at the peak.

He stood tall and straight, his presence ethereal.

“Is that the legendary Sect Master Ye?” Xia Tiantian’s breath hitched; she found that she couldn’t see through Ye Feng at all.

Or rather, no matter how she looked, Ye Feng seemed to be a mortal, devoid of any spiritual energy vibrations.

“Follow me up the mountain!”

Long Tianxing led the way on the Qingfeng Sword.

Long Qitian and Xia Tiantian rode together on a Flying Sword, following at a steady pace.
