That injured ninth-order demonic beast should be hiding within the pool.
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept over the deep pool.
From beneath the water, a wild, savage aura permeated, as if something extremely dangerous lay dormant.
By this time, the grassy clearing around them was densely packed with people.
There were both Body Tempering practitioners and Earth Realm cultivators.
Everyone's eyes were fixed unwaveringly on the Seven Divinities Flower above the pool, blazing with desire.
Ye Yunfei took a quick look and was surprised to find many masters at the Late Stage Earth Realm among the crowd.
Look, it's Senior Brother Yang and the others, they're coming over!
Suddenly, Su Yingzhi cried out.
Soon, a man roughly in his early twenties, with jade-like features, sharp eyes, and a slender build, strode over. Several sect disciples followed behind him, each radiating vigor and an air of arrogance.
"Yuechan, you've finally arrived."
This man spoke to Wu Yuechan with a gaze burning with passion.
Anyone with eyes could see he liked Wu Yuechan!
"Senior Brother Yang, please call me Junior Sister Wu."
As soon as Wu Yuechan saw the man, her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a trace of impatience. She even unconsciously increased the distance between them.
She had long grown utterly weary of Senior Brother Yang's persistence.
Upon hearing Wu Yuechan's words, flames of anger flickered deep in Senior Brother Yang's eyes, but he suppressed them instantly.
Though seething with rage, he knew that showing it now would ruin any future chances.
Then, his gaze inadvertently fell upon Ye Yunfei.
Who is he?
Senior Brother Yang's scrutinizing eyes fixed on Ye Yunfei as he asked coldly.
Senior Brother Yang, this piece of trash has an unknown background. We ran into him along the road, and he latched onto us shamelessly, sticking to our group. I suspect he has ulterior motives!
Su Yingzhi immediately chimed in, his eyes flashing with a hint of schadenfreude. He knew this Senior Brother Yang was not someone easy to deal with.
Especially since Senior Brother Yang had just been snubbed by Wu Yuechan; he would need an outlet for his frustration. This kid at Body Tempering Sixth Level was in for trouble.
Hmph, a mere Body Tempering Sixth Level cultivator. We, disciples of the Zhencang Sect, are of noble status, not just anyone has the right to befriend us. Kid, confess honestly. What is your real background? What is your ulterior motive in scheming to get close to us, disciples of the Zhencang Sect?!
Senior Brother Yang's sharp, intimidating gaze bore down on Ye Yunfei, his tone condescending and interrogative.
Senior Brother Yang, you misunderstand. Ye Yunfei is our savior!
Deng Xianxian became anxious.
Junior Sister Deng, you are too naive. You simply don't know how treacherous the hearts of men in the Jianghu can be. Don't concern yourself with this. I will handle it properly!
Senior Brother Yang spoke in a lecturing tone.
You deaf piece of trash! Senior Brother Yang is questioning you! You'd better not make Senior Brother Yang angry, or the consequences will be severe!
Su Yingzhi added fuel to the fire from the side, shouting at Ye Yunfei.
Back off. Stay away from me.
Ye Yunfei said blandly.
Kid, what did you say?!
Senior Brother Yang's face darkened, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
A powerful Late Stage Earth Realm aura erupted from him, pressing towards Ye Yunfei.
Kid, offending Senior Brother Yang is a death sentence!
Su Yingzhi said gleefully.
Ye Yunfei's brow furrowed slightly.
An Late Stage Earth Realm cultivator would indeed be a bit troublesome to deal with if it came to a fight. However, Ye Yunfei could not back down. Moreover, if Ye Yunfei employed all his means, it wasn't necessarily true he would lose.
Enough, Senior Brother Yang. I brought him here myself. Please don't make things difficult for him.
Wu Yuechan suddenly called out sharply.
Ye Yunfei, you should be more low-key. There are powerful masters all around this place. One careless move and you'll offend someone you cannot afford to provoke.
Wu Yuechan's gaze also swept towards Ye Yunfei as she spoke, her brows knitted.
In truth, she still doubted whether Ye Yunfei had truly killed that seventh-order demonic leopard. For a Body Tempering Sixth Level cultivator to instantly kill a seventh-order demonic beast was simply unbelievable. The more she thought about it, the less she believed it. However, since Ye Yunfei had followed them here, she didn't want to see him being bullied by others.
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned cold. Without another word, he lifted his foot and walked away, distancing himself from these Zhencang Sect disciples.
Ye Yunfei's main purpose for tagging along with these Zhencang Sect disciples was for the sake of the Seven Divinities Flower. Now that the flower was right before his eyes, there was absolutely no need to remain with these disciples any longer.
You...!
Wu Yuechan's beautiful eyes flashed with anger.
Ye Yunfei, where are you going!
Deng Xianxian cried out.
Brother Ye Yunfei, please stay with us!
Tan Meng also called out.
You dare?! You're courting death!
A surge of killing intent erupted from Senior Brother Yang. Spiritual power gushed out from within him, making his robes billow without any wind, as he prepared to strike.
How bold that kid is, to dare provoke disciples of the Zhencang Sect.
Many in the surrounding area had already noticed the commotion, shaking their heads and sighing inwardly.
Senior Brother Yang, let it go.
Wu Yuechan blocked Senior Brother Yang.
Fine, Yuechan. I'll give you face and spare him.
Senior Brother Yang said. However, the look he cast towards Ye Yunfei's departing figure was filled with intense murderous intent. He vowed to seize an opportunity later to kill this brat!
After walking a distance away, Ye Yunfei found a spot to stand, blending into the crowd.
The grassy area was now buzzing with noise, everyone waiting for the Seven Divinities Flower to bloom.
One could imagine that once it bloomed, a terrifying melee would inevitably ensue.
Third Young Master, we've spotted that kid, over there. Do we strike now?
Wait a bit. The Seven Divinities Flower is about to bloom. Let's secure the flower first.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei heard two voices speaking. He turned to look. Due to possessing a trace of his residual Heavenly Emperor Soul Power, Ye Yunfei could still discern extremely faint sounds even in this clamorous environment.
He saw two figures: a young man in golden robes and an old man with a withered, gaunt frame. Xiao Wuhen, the Third Young Master of the current Prime Minister Xiao!
Xiao Wuhen noticed Ye Yunfei's gaze. He raised his hand and drew a finger across his throat, revealing a threatening, cold smile.
'I don't care who your worthless Prime Minister's son is. Dare to mess with me, and I'll kill you all the same.'
Ye Yunfei inwardly sneered coldly.
Just then.
There's killing intent!
Ye Yunfei's mind stirred. He turned his gaze towards a few other spots.
He soon discovered that among the crowd, a total of six middle-aged men draped in pitch-black robes, akin to phantoms, seemed to be watching him, emanating an obvious intent to kill.
What's the background of these six guys? Why do they bear such strong murderous intent towards me?
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown. An ordinary person wouldn't have been able to detect these six phantom-like men lying in wait amidst the crowd, but Ye Yunfei was different. Possessing Soul Power, his perceptive abilities were especially strong.
We've found that kid. Should we move now?
The six men in black robes were dispersed among the crowd, communicating through a special method.
Let's wait a little longer. Since we've encountered the Seven Divinities Flower, we shouldn't miss it. That kid is trapped now. He cannot fly away.
Finally, these six phantom-like men reached a consensus.
Ding…
From atop the pool in the center of the clearing, a crisp, melodious sound suddenly rang out, like the gentle plucking of a sword string.
The noisy, boisterous meadow instantly fell into a dead silence.
All eyes focused on the Seven Divinities Flower above the water.
They saw the flower bud beginning to move, slowly opening. The medicinal fragrance also reached its peak intensity.
The Seven Divinities Flower is blooming!
Someone shrieked.
