The core disciple of Wanjian Sect is indeed rich, with a mountain of various spiritual stones, elixirs, magic weapons, and materials. Among them, Xiao Yihan's storage bag also contained several jade slips recording the high-level sword skills of Wanjian Sect, which interested Ye Feng.
"The swordsmanship of Wanjian Sect has its own unique features, which we can learn from." Ye Feng put these jade slips away and prepared to learn from them in the future.
In addition to these, he also discovered a strange ore that exuded faint space fluctuations. It seemed to be some kind of material for refining space magic weapons, which was quite precious.
After sorting the loot into categories, Ye Feng took out the map he obtained from the disciples of the Black Evil Sect and marked "Bingxin Valley" and "Sign of the Birth of Strange Treasures". This map finally led him to find the Ice Soul Essence.
"The person who drew this map seems to be quite familiar with the terrain of the Northern Territory." Ye Feng rubbed his chin and thought to himself, "The Black Evil Sect has been operating in the Northern Territory for many years, so it is not surprising that there is such an internal map. But, besides the ice soul marrow, does this 'sign of the birth of a strange treasure' have other undiscovered secrets?"
He studied the marks on the map carefully, trying to find more clues. However, the information on the map is limited and there are no clues at the moment.
"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. The top priority is to improve his strength."
Ye Feng put away the map and began to meditate and adjust his breath to stabilize his state.
At the same time, Ye Feng killed many golden elixir monks from Wanjian Sect and Black Evil Sect in the extremely cold northern region, and successfully brought back the news that Jiuyou Ice Lotus had rescued Su Li. This not only caused an uproar within the Tianji Sect, but also began to spread to other regions in the world of cultivation.
The Tianji Sect gained a reputation as a great evil disciple, and it spread like wildfire.
As for the Wanjian Sect and the Black Evil Sect far away in the northern region, after learning that their disciples were killed one after another, and even the core disciples in the middle and late stages of Jindan were not spared, the senior leaders of the sect were furious.
Wanjian Sect, meeting hall.
The atmosphere was so solemn that it almost dripped with water.
The sect leader Jian Wuya sat at the top of the table, his face as sinking as water, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light. Below, a group of elders remained silent.
"Hu Yanchen, Xiao Yihan...and a dozen elite disciples of my Wanjian Sect were all lost in the hands of a little-known boy from the Tianji Sect! What a shame! What a shame!" Jian Wuya's voice was cold and bone-chilling, containing overwhelming anger.
An elder said cautiously: "Sect Master, according to the news, it seems that Ye Feng is only a foundation-building practitioner, but he can kill Xiao Yihan, who is at the fifth level of the Golden Core. This matter... is really unbelievable. Could it be that the intelligence is wrong, or that someone from the Tianji Sect is secretly helping?"
"Hmph! No matter what his cultivation level is or what methods he uses, he must pay the price for killing my disciple of Wanjian Sect!" Jian Wuya slapped the handrail violently, and the hard ten thousand-year black iron handrail shattered. "Pass my order and send the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall to lead a team to Tianji Sect and ask them to hand over the murderer Ye Feng! Otherwise, don't blame me, Wanjian Sect, for being rude!"
< br>"Sect Master, think twice!" Another more serious elder quickly dissuaded him, "Although the Tianji Sect is not as good as before, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Sect Master, Lu Yuanqing, is also a cultivator in the early stage of becoming a god, so it is not easy to deal with. Moreover, after all, our disciples provoked this matter first. If they come directly to ask for someone, I am afraid it will intensify the conflict and trigger a war between the two sects."
"So what about the war?" Jian Wuya snorted coldly, with an imposing manner, "When have we, the Wanjian Sect, been afraid of trouble? Do we have to watch the tragic death of our disciples and remain indifferent?"
"Sect master, calm down." The solemn elder continued, "I mean, this The matter can be discussed in the long term. Since Ye Feng of the Tianji Sect is such a monster, he will definitely participate in the secret trial in the near future. Wouldn't it be better if we can legitimately deal with him in the secret realm?"
Jian Wuya's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this. The secret trial is indeed a good opportunity.
"Okay! Just as you said!" Jian Wuya finally nodded, "But we can't just let it go! Immediately send someone to pay close attention to the movements of Tianji Sect and Ye Feng! Once he leaves Tianji Sect, it will be our opportunity! In addition, Notify us of the bribed insiders, and we can kill them if we have the right opportunity!"
"Yes! Sect Master!"
The same anger is also burning in the Black Evil Sect.
The Black Heart Old Demon, the leader of the Black Evil Sect, heard that the Black Crow Hall Master and his elite men had been wiped out. He was so angry that he screamed, and the demonic energy surged around him, shattering all the tables and chairs in the meeting hall.
"Tianji Sect! Ye Feng! I will cut you into pieces and extract your soul to refine your soul!" The black-hearted old demon roared like a beast.
Unlike the Wanjian Sect, the Black Evil Sect acts more ruthlessly and directly.
"Second order, all the disciples of the Black Evil Sect outside will do their best to track down the whereabouts of Ye Feng! Once discovered, kill them without mercy! I will let the Tianji Sect know the consequences of offending my Black Evil Sect!"
A few days later, Ye Feng adjusted his condition, left his cave, and went straight to the Demon Locking Tower deep inside the sect.
The Demon Locking Tower is located in a remote valley in the back mountain of Tianji Sect. It is surrounded by powerful restrictions and cannot be approached by ordinary disciples. The tower is nine stories high, completely dark, and exudes an ancient and depressing aura, like a giant beast from ancient times that chooses people to devour, crawling on the earth.
Ye Feng held the guard token and successfully passed the peripheral restrictions and arrived in front of the Demon Locking Tower.
The pagoda door is closed, and an old man with white hair and beard sits cross-legged at the door. He is wearing a simple gray robe and has an ordinary aura, like an ordinary sect servant. However, Ye Feng felt a vague and powerful pressure from him, which was far beyond the comparison of ordinary monks.
"Senior." Ye Feng stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, his turbid eyes fell on Ye Feng, looked him up and down, and then said in a hoarse voice: "The new guard disciple?"
"It is the disciple Ye Feng."
"Token." The old man spoke concisely.
Ye Feng handed over the guard token.
The old man took the token, glanced at it casually, and threw it back: "Go in. Remember, you are responsible for life and death in the Demon Locking Tower." His voice was calm, but with a hint of undoubted warning.
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me." Ye Feng put away the token, pushed open the heavy tower door, and walked in.
The tower door slowly closed behind him, making a dull loud noise.
The light inside the Demon Locking Tower is dim, and the air is filled with a strong smell of demons and blood, which is disgusting. Waves of heart-stopping roars and roars came from deep within the tower.
Ye Feng frowned slightly and used the power of the stars to protect his whole body and isolate the dirty atmosphere.
On the first floor of the Demon Locking Tower, the space is quite vast, separated into independent cages by hard black iron fences. Inside the cage, there are various monster beasts of different shapes, most of which are in the foundation-building stage. Each of them has a fierce look in their eyes, and they are constantly hitting the fence, making deafening collision sounds.
Ye Feng looked calm and glanced at these monsters. These low-level monsters no longer pose any threat to him.
He walked along the spiral staircase towards the upper level of the Demon Locking Tower.
