157: Ye Shengzi

“Devouring Sky, follow me.”

Qin Feng called out to it, then turned and walked towards the Soul Hall, but it was unusually quiet behind him.

“Devouring Sky?”

He stopped and looked back, only to see it still coiled on the dead leaves, staring at him motionlessly, with no intention of coming.

Qin Feng understood that it wasn't accustomed to its current name, so he tried another one:

“Devouring Sky Dragon?”

“Devouring Sky Snake?”

Swish swish swish!

Hearing the three words “Devouring Sky Snake,” as if a secret code had been matched, the Devouring Sky Snake’s body moved in response, immediately crushing countless dead leaves with cracking sounds. Its eyes were joyful, and its aura was light.

“Since you like this name, then from now on, you’ll be called Devouring Sky Snake.”

Qin Feng didn't make things difficult for it; a name was just a code.

Perhaps.

The Mud Dragon itself might belong to the snake species.

Returning to the Soul Hall, the numerous Disciples had already assembled, led by Tie Zhu and White Little Fly, there were a total of ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators. In addition, there were over one hundred and twenty Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators. This was the entire core strength of the Netherworld Soul Hall at present.

As for Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, they were simply not presentable; unless cannon fodder was needed, they generally wouldn't be allowed to participate in battles.

However, now that the Netherworld Soul Hall had an additional fourth-tier Spirit Beast, it was no longer what it used to be and was not afraid of ordinary Sects.

…

“Hall Master, everyone is here. It’s time for your command.”

Inside Yanluo Hall.

Tie Zhu looked excited, winking at Qin Feng, his whole body exuding an uncontrollable restless aura.

The rest of the people also looked expectant.

After all, before this, others had always plundered the Netherworld Soul Hall. Today, they could finally hold their heads high and plunder someone else for once!

Feeling the fervent emotions of the crowd, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of restlessness in his heart.

“Since everyone is ready, let’s depart!”

The Netherworld Soul Hall currently had no Flying Magical Artifacts. Although they had just captured a warship, they hadn't had time to refine it, so they could only rely on their respective Flying Magical Artifacts.

As the command was given.

Everyone immediately took out their Flying Magical Artifacts, ready for battle.

A moment later.

Streaks of colorful Flying Magical Artifacts soared from Yanluo Peak, straight into the sky.

The Netherworld Soul Hall Qi Refining Cultivators who were tending to medicinal herbs or feeding Spirit Fish on the various peaks watched this scene, and all of them began to breathe rapidly.

“Where are they going?”

“I don’t know. I heard the Spirit Beast Sect just lost a battle. Now… they should be going to settle scores, right?”

“When I brag to my friends from now on, I can finally hold my head high!”

“This scene is too magnificent!”

Although the Netherworld Soul Hall Qi Refinement Disciples did not participate in the battle, they all felt their blood boiling at this moment.

After all, this was the first proper battle the Netherworld Soul Hall had fought since its establishment, and if nothing unexpected happened.

They would definitely win!

…

Three thousand kilometers south of the Netherworld Soul Hall, there was a basin with a sunken terrain.

In the middle of the basin, a huge mountain naturally formed, resembling a gold ingot, named Yuanbao Mountain.

This was the core area of the Spirit Beast Sect. Most of the surrounding buildings were low and sprawling, but only on the mountain was a magnificent and majestic building constructed, like a fierce tiger accepting the prostrations of other buildings.

At this moment.

Inside the Spirit Beast Sect’s main hall.

A graceful and voluptuous woman sat on a chair, holding a bronze mirror and examining her face, while a white fox lay sleeping soundly on a nearby table.

This woman was Chen Qianfeng, the Third Elder of the Spirit Beast Sect. Her contracted Charm Fox was a third-tier Spirit Beast, possessing extremely powerful means of enchanting people’s hearts, which was why the Spirit Beast Sect’s higher-ups felt confident leaving her to guard the Sect.

The main hall was unusually quiet, and the air was filled with a peculiar exotic fragrance. Everything seemed peaceful and serene, yet also somewhat unusual.

A moment later.

A Spirit Beast Sect Disciple walked quickly into the main hall with his head bowed, bowing to the woman: “Greetings, Third Elder.”

The woman put down the bronze mirror, glanced at him, and asked, “Has Old Ancestor sent back any news?”

“Not yet. The Senior Brothers on Heavenly Mystery Peak have all sent out Netherworld Birds. There should be news very soon.”

“Alright, you may withdraw.”

The woman waved her hand, then turned her head to look at the incense stick in the censer beside her. Amidst the swirling mist, the incense stick was less than an inch long.

She quickly took out rouge and powder to make herself up, then walked towards a secret chamber at the back of the main hall…

…

“Saint Ye, this servant has already made up her mind. After this servant finishes the Sect’s affairs in the next two days, she will serve you diligently from now on.”

Chen Qianfeng walked to the door of the secret chamber, immediately and skillfully shed her top, long skirt, and undergarments, and walked in naked.

On the bed inside, a young man in his twenties was dressed, not even having taken off his shoes, casually lying on the bed, looking at the woman’s charms with a pleasant expression.

Seeing that the other party didn’t speak, Chen Qianfeng also remained silent, standing delicately in place, allowing the other party to observe her.

“Alright, you’re already old, so stop playing coy. Come on yourself!”

Ye Chulan impatiently closed his eyes, lying directly on the bed, waiting for the other party to serve him.

The dim light in the secret chamber made it impossible to distinguish the passage of time.

Half an incense stick later.

Ye Chulan was satisfied, standing at the edge of the bed adjusting his clothes, while Chen Qianfeng knelt on the ground, appearing somewhat pitiful. Even though her body was already covered in scars, her face still showed a charming and intoxicated expression.

“Hurry up and do what I told you. I want to find that guy and turn him into a human stick!”

“Master, rest assured, I will have someone handle it shortly.”

Chen Qianfeng nodded seriously, immediately stood up and escorted the other party to the door of the secret chamber, then turned back to the edge of the bed to pick up her personal clothing.

Seeing that it was covered in many footprints, the expression on her face became even more excited.

“I never expected the dignified Holy Son of the Divine Sword Sect to have such a taste. If that’s the case, he’ll never escape this girl’s grasp for the rest of his life.”

She pressed the footprints on the clothes to her cheek, breathing out like an orchid.

“~ Hmm!”

…

After Chen Qianfeng tidied her appearance, as soon as she returned to the Spirit Beast Sect’s main hall, a Sect Disciple rushed in with a hurried expression: “Reporting, Third Elder! There’s a situation outside!”

“What situation?”

“Many people are approaching. It seems they are not from our Spirit Beast Sect!”

“Not the Spirit Beast Sect, could it be the Hao Ran Sect?”

“There seem to be evil Cultivators in the opposing camp.”

“The Ghost King Sect and our Sect are allies, they shouldn't do such despicable things.”

Chen Qianfeng looked suspicious and immediately walked to the entrance of the main hall to observe the situation in the distance.

She saw countless dense figures rapidly approaching the Spirit Beast Sect.

Some were riding Flying Boats, some were stepping on Flying Swords, and others were flying with escape light, creating a grand spectacle. Behind these people, many more were following from a distance. It was difficult to discern whether they were friends or foes in a short time.

“It seems the visitors mean no good!”

Chen Qianfeng looked nervous and immediately ordered the Disciple beside her: “Quickly activate the Mountain Protection Array!”

Roar!

Just then.

A huge Spirit Beast, entirely golden and shaped like a giant Dragon, suddenly descended from the sky, landing outside the Spirit Beast Sect’s main hall.

Under the cold and emotionless gaze of the Devouring Sky Snake, Chen Qianfeng felt her scalp tingle. She immediately withdrew her previous command and simultaneously bowed:

“Disciple Chen Qianfeng, greets Guardian!”

The Devouring Sky Snake nodded, then turned its head to look at the continuously approaching crowd behind it.

Although Chen Qianfeng, standing nearby, didn't know what was happening, she understood that with the Old Ancestor’s pet here, anything could be resolved!

Recalling Ye Chulan’s command, she put on a flustered expression and said:

“Reporting, Guardian, the Sect’s most precious treasure was stolen by someone named Qin Feng. Please, Old Ancestor, apprehend Qin Feng.”
