The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Visiting the Misty Sect, Mu Ruxue’s Surprise
Xie Jiaren, Pang Haiyun, and the branch elder of the Spirit Beast Sect all stood there dumbfounded, feeling this was incongruent with their preconceived notions of Mu Ruxue.

After all, she was a Divine Wind Sword Child of the two-star Divine Wind Sword Sect. Her status was revered; what business did she have at the high-ranked Misty Sect?

Logically, shouldn’t it be Ye Feng from the high-ranked sect visiting the Divine Wind Sword Sect?

The three of them were utterly bewildered.

“I’m going over there to ask about something,” Mu Ruxue disclosed her intentions.

Originally, she had planned to return directly to the Divine Wind Sword Sect, but since she heard Xie Jiaren was headed to the Misty Sect, she might as well join them and see what kind of sect could cultivate a sword dao genius like Huo Yunjie.

“So that’s how it is!” Xie Jiaren was still a bit confused, but she didn’t ask further and immediately set out.

Mu Ruxue, accompanied by her four maids, closely followed suit.

The branch elder of the Spirit Beast Sect sat under a thatched hut, watching Xie Jiaren leave the valley, jumping three feet high in exultation.

“Hahaha! The lass has finally set out. At last, my ears can have some peace,” he laughed heartily.

At the summit of Misty Peak.

Qiao Jiaxi was lifting stones for body refinement.

“Eighty-fifth time now. Fifteen more to go, and I can use this movement to compress and condense the bloodline in my body to the limit, then release it in an instant to break through my bottleneck and step into the second layer of body refinement,” he grunted determinedly.

Qiao Jiaxi clenched his teeth and persevered.

Through several days of hard training, he found that his body had grown increasingly stronger. Even a giant stone weighing a thousand pounds could be easily lifted above his head, and he continuously lifted and lowered it to train his body.

“One, two, three…”

Qiao Jiaxi’s hands were upheld as if supporting the heavens; he took a horse stance, trying to straighten his body before squatting down again, exuding waves of heat.

“Sister, trouble you to splash me with water!” Qiao Jiaxi suddenly called out.

“Just a moment, Junior Brother. I’m coming,” Xia He responded and immediately scooped up a ladle of Spirit Spring Water and splashed it on Qiao Jiaxi, making a sizzling sound like red-hot iron plunged into water.

Mo Ying opened her Spirit Eyes and noticed that Qiao Jiaxi’s pores were like countless whirlpools, absorbing the spiritual power embedded in the Spirit Spring Water to become the source of power for his bloodline.

“Junior Brother Qiao is really amazing!” Xia He exclaimed in admiration and continued to feed the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts like the Whitefloat Five Immortals.

Having been purified by the Bloodline Purifying Pill, the bloodlines of several spiritual beasts were even purer. After eating the Spirit Beast Feed, their breakthroughs came swiftly.

“Before long, the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle and Fox Da Hong will be able to ascend to the peak of middle-rank Demon Soldier level, and as for Little White Fox and the other four spiritual beasts, they will reach the middle-rank Demon Soldier level today,” Ye Feng thought, watching everything happening at the peak with inward delight.

The task of having prestige points over ten thousand was completed.

The mission to subdue two lower-rank Demon Generals was also accomplished.

At this stage, all that was left was the task of cultivating seven high-rank Demon Soldier Level demonic beasts and the disciples’ promotions.

In Ye Feng’s view, he wouldn’t need three months to complete the second-phase tasks as sect leader.

At the base of Misty Peak.

Xie Jiaren, Pang Haiyun, and Divine Wind Sword Child Mu Ruxue, along with their party, descended at the foot of the mountain, only to find quite a few people gathered around a stele.

“What are you all doing?” The straightforward Xie Jiaren asked outright.

The onlookers, all ordinary people, noticed the ethereal aura of the newcomers and hastily bowed, saying, “Greetings, Immortal Masters. This stele was erected by Sect Master Ye of the Misty Sect. It is said that those who can pass through that misty area have the qualifications to become disciples of the Misty Sect.”

One of Mu Ruxue’s maids couldn’t help but laugh, “Even a high-ranked sect has set up such a test? Do they think they’re a star-level sect?”

“Watch your language!” Mu Ruxue’s voice was cold and clear. As soon as she spoke, the maid quickly bowed her head and apologized.

“Let’s go, up the mountain!” Mu Ruxue soared into the sky and soon arrived in front of the misty area, “This appears to be a miniature formation, more exquisite than the Sect Protection Array of typical one-star sects.”

“That powerful?” The four maids expressed their astonishment.

“What’s so impressive about that? Last time Little Fatty and I came here, we could walk straight up to the peak of Misty Peak without any hindrance,” Xie Jiaren said. After finishing her sentence, she grabbed Pang Haiyun and Mu Ruxue and leaped into the Misty Area.

But as they walked, Mu Ruxue realized both Xie Jiaren and Pang Haiyun had mysteriously disappeared, leaving herself and her four maids trapped in the fog.

“This formation does have some tricks up its sleeve,” Mu Ruxue chuckled, unfazed.

As the Divine Wind Sword Child of the Divine Wind Sword Sect and the Element Gathering Realm prodigy who surpassed all other True Disciples, Mu Ruxue has always been arrogant and confident in her strength.

Moreover, she had already developed her Spiritual Sense and was not afraid of illusionary formations.

“This formation is quite remarkable; with just the four of you, it would be impossible to break through the fog,” she said.

As Mu Ruxue spoke, she formed a spell with her hand and released her Spiritual Sense to scout around, ready to find the weak spot of the illusionary formation and break through in one fell swoop.

However, her expression gradually changed.

“Sword Child, what’s wrong?” one of the maids quickly asked.

“This formation is an extremely profound Compound Formation; even I can’t find the weak point… In other words, I can’t break the formation,” Mu Ruxue’s face grew somber.

Though she was only at the First Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, with the auxiliary cultivation method of the Divine Wind Sword Sect and powerful spells and secret techniques at her disposal, she could fight even those at the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

And yet, she was trapped by the Sect Protection Array of a mere High Ranked Sect!

“Misty Sect is not simple!” she exclaimed.

Mu Ruxue’s breathing quickened slightly, “Stand where you are, do not act recklessly to avoid sinking deeper.”

“Yes,” the four maids dared not disobey.

Only now did they realize how serious Misty Sect was and regretted their previous underestimation.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew through, and the five of them suddenly found the fog before them dissipating, revealing a clear path straight to the peak.

At the end were two women, waving their hands.

“Sword Child, it’s your cousin Xie Jiaren, and Pang Haiyun, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Liuyun Sect. They’ve actually reached the peak,” one of the maids said solemnly.

With a slight nod of her chin, Mu Ruxue said, “Follow me up.”

Having said that, the party of five soared into the air and soon landed on the peak of Misty Peak.

“Big cousin, you’ve finally made it up here. It looks like you must have been trapped by Sect Master Ye’s formation just now,” Xie Jiaren pinched Mu Ruxue’s delicate face and laughed heartily.

“Annoying, why do you have to say it when you can see it?” With Xie Jiaren pointing it out, Mu Ruxue’s face lost some of its composure.

“Is this the Divine Wind Sword Child? I’m honored to meet you!” Ye Feng, accompanied by several disciples, approached, standing at the entrance of the Misty Sect.

After Xie Jiaren and Pang Haiyun reached the peak, realizing that Mu Ruxue and her party had not yet arrived, they quickly found Ye Feng to apprise him of the situation.

Upon learning that it was the Divine Wind Sword Child of the Divine Wind Sword Sect who had come to visit, Ye Feng opened the path upward without a second word.

“Are you Sect Master Ye?” Mu Ruxue sized up Ye Feng and, noticing his complete lack of cultivation yet ability to levitate, her mind turned to the recent rumors about the “Chosen One.”

“I am indeed Ye Feng,” he nodded, “May I know the purpose of Sword Child’s visit to our Misty Sect?”

Mo Ying stood beside Ye Feng, curiously observing Mu Ruxue, surprised to meet her here. This meant Shu Hongyu would find nothing on her venture, wouldn’t she?

Mu Ruxue was unaware of Mo Ying’s thoughts; her original intent was simply to see the Misty Sect. But upon arrival, she found the Sect Protection Array extraordinary. Reaching the peak, she also discovered the rich Spiritual Energy, clearly indicating the presence of a Miniature Spirit Vein.

As for the few disciples of the Misty Sect, although they were few in number, their cultivation levels were not lacking.

Together with the Chosen One, Ye Feng, the potential of the entire Misty Sect was significant, much to Mu Ruxue’s surprise.

Overlooking Ye Feng and the others, Mu Ruxue’s gaze sharpened as she glimpsed Brother Flathead lying asleep on the ground.

“Even possessing a Lower Rank Demon General, the potential of Misty Sect is remarkable. Becoming a Star-Level Sect is just a matter of time. No wonder they could nurture a Sword Dao genius like Huo Yunjie,” she analyzed inwardly.

Regaining her focus, Mu Ruxue looked at Ye Feng, “Does your sect have a disciple who specializes in the Sword Dao named Huo Yunjie?”

As soon as these words were out, all the members of Misty Sect widened their eyes.

Why would Mu Ruxue ask that? Had Huo Yunjie caused some trouble?

With this thought, Ye Feng’s expression gradually became serious.
