"You kid... you really can cause trouble wherever you go!" Ling Xuzi couldn't laugh or cry, but there was not much blame in his tone, but a hint of "it's true". My apprentice is very talented, and his ability to cause trouble is also top-notch.
Lu Yuanqing’s expression became a little solemn. He pondered for a moment and said: "Both the Wanjian Sect and the Black Evil Sect are big sects, and they have always been domineering and protective of their weaknesses. You have killed so many of them, especially core disciples like Hu Yanchen and Xiao Yihan, and they will never give up."
Ye Feng looked calm: "I will not offend others unless they offend me. Since they are provoking provocations and want my life, I will naturally not sit back and die. As for subsequent troubles, they will be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and soil."
His tone was indifferent. Retreating and forbearing would only lead to more crazy revenge. Only by shocking with thunder can peace be obtained.
Lu Yuanqing looked at Ye Feng and nodded secretly in his heart. Ye Feng's growth rate and behavior far exceeded his expectations. This kind of decisive and decisive character may not be a bad thing in the cruel world of cultivation.
"You are right." Lu Yuanqing spoke slowly, with approval in his tone, "I, a disciple of the Tianji Sect, never take the initiative to cause trouble, but I am never afraid of trouble. If the Wanjian Sect and the Black Evil Sect really dare to cause trouble, I, the Tianji Sect, are not soft persimmons that can be manipulated by others."
He changed the topic and added: "However, it is easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. You have made such a big noise in the Northern Territory, and I am afraid you have been on their must-kill list. For the next period of time, you will be fine within the sect, but you must be careful if you want to go out."
"Disciple understands." Ye Feng responded.
Ling Xuzi added on the side: "What the sect master said is true. Especially the old guy from Wanjian Sect, who is very protective and has a high level of cultivation. He is already a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, so he has to be on guard. There is also the Black Heart Old Demon, the sect leader of Black Evil Sect, who is not a good person."
Hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. The great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage are indeed existences that he currently finds difficult to contend with. It seems that improving strength is still a top priority.
"Thank you, sect leader and master, for reminding me. Disciples will be careful." Ye Feng handed over his hand again.
Seeing that Su Li had recovered a lot, Elder Xuan Shuang said, "Okay, Su Li has just woken up and needs to rest. Ye Feng, you have also worked hard all the way, so go back and rest first. The sect will deal with the follow-up matters on its own."
Ye Feng nodded, glanced at Su Li, and saw that she was looking at him with a look full of gratitude and worry, so he smiled at her to reassure her.
Afterwards, Ye Feng said goodbye to Lu Yuanqing, Ling Xuzi and Elder Xuan Shuang, and left the Xuan Bing Cave.
Looking at Ye Feng's leaving back, Ling Xuzi stroked his beard and sighed: "This kid is getting more and more difficult to see through. With the seventh level of foundation building, he can kill the fifth level of Golden Core. This kind of combat power is rare in ancient times!"
Lu Yuanqing was deeply convinced: "The power in his body is extraordinary. Moreover, I see that his soul is condensed, far beyond that of monks of the same level, I'm afraid. There are other unknown trump cards." He paused and continued, "If this boy can grow up smoothly, his future achievements will be limitless, and he may be able to lead our Tianji Sect to a new height."
Elder Xuan Shuang also nodded slightly: "I hope so. However, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. He is too sharp, and the future may not be too peaceful."
In the cave, the three of them fell into a brief silence, thinking about the shock caused by Ye Feng and the challenges that the sect might face in the future.
After Ye Feng left Xuanbing Cave, he did not return directly to his cave, but walked around the sect at will.
[Ding, I gained Su Li's favor, the mission was completed, and my cultivation level rose to the ninth level of foundation building. ]
Ye Feng smiled slightly, he finally completed this task...
The news of Ye Feng's return spread quickly throughout the Tianji Sect, as if it had wings.
All the sect disciples he met along the way looked at him with awe and curiosity.
"Look! It's Senior Brother Ye Feng!"
"He is really back! I thought the rumors were false!"
"I heard that Senior Brother Ye was killing everyone in the Northern Territory, and even the Jindan Elder of Wanjian Sect was beheaded by him!"
"Really or fake? It's too fierce! What kind of cultivation is Senior Brother Ye now?"
Various comments came and went, and Ye Feng listened to them with his usual expression and ignored them. He was used to being the center of attention.
He came to the sect's general affairs hall, intending to see if there were any suitable tasks that could earn some contribution points, and at the same time, he could learn about the sect's recent trends.
There were people coming and going in the Zongwu Hall, which seemed quite lively. Ye Feng's appearance immediately caused a small commotion.
"Senior Brother Ye!" A deacon disciple responsible for issuing tasks saw Ye Feng and quickly saluted respectfully.
Ye Feng nodded and glanced at the task list. Most of the tasks on the list were routine tasks such as collecting elixirs, hunting monsters, and escorting caravans. They were not very attractive to him.
Just as he was about to leave, out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of an inconspicuous jade slip in the corner of the task list, with words such as "long-term", "high contribution", "inner disciples and above available" etc. marked on it.
Ye Feng's heart moved, he stepped forward, took off the jade slip, and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
The information in the jade slip is very simple, it is about the guarding mission of the sect's "Monster Locking Tower". The Demon Locking Tower is where the Tianji Sect imprisons some powerful and ferocious demons. It requires disciples to guard it in shifts all year round to prevent demons from rioting. Although this task contributes a lot of points, it is quite boring and has certain risks, so not many people take it.
[Ding, mission: guard the Demon Locking Tower. The reward cultivation level is upgraded to the first level of Jindan. ]
"Guarding the Demon Locking Tower?" Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. This task is a good choice for him. Firstly, you can earn contribution points, and secondly, you can complete system tasks.
More importantly, the Demon Locking Tower is located deep inside the sect and is relatively secluded, allowing him to temporarily avoid unnecessary disturbances.
"I accepted this mission." Ye Feng said to the deacon disciple.
The deacon disciple was slightly stunned and looked at Ye Feng in surprise: "Senior Brother Ye, although the mission of this Demon Locking Tower has a high contribution point, it is quite difficult, and the demons in the tower..."
Ye Feng waved his hand and interrupted him: "It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of proportion."
Seeing Ye Feng’s insistence, the deacon’s disciples stopped talking and quickly completed the task acceptance procedures for him.
"Senior Brother Ye, this is the token for guarding the Demon Locking Tower, as well as related precautions. Please keep it. The minimum period of guarding is one month, and you can hand it over at any time according to your own situation." The deacon disciple handed Ye Feng a black token engraved with runes and a jade slip.
Ye Feng took the token and the jade slip, thanked him, then turned and left the general affairs hall.
He did not go to the Demon Locking Tower immediately, but returned to his cave first. Although the Northern Territory team has gained a lot, they have also experienced many dangerous battles and need to be sorted out. Especially in the battle with Xiao Yihan, the opponent's "Ten Thousand Swords Pierce the Heart", which he used by burning his essence and blood, was really powerful, and it also gave him a more intuitive understanding of the strength of the late-stage Jindan monks.
Back in the cave, Ye Feng opened the restriction, sat cross-legged, and began to look inward at himself.
The source of star power in the body has been nourished by the ice soul marrow and tempered by several subsequent battles. It has become more condensed and stronger, and there are faint signs of a breakthrough. The original power of the dragon soul in the sea of consciousness has also become more agile and active due to its repeated use.
He took out the storage bag he obtained from Xiao Yihan and others and began to count the loot.
