Chapter 135 One Month Later
"This mustard seed bracelet contains ten thousand units of supreme spiritual liquid, and now it holds the Bone Shadow."
A hint of heartache flashed in Xuan Gu Supreme's eyes as he directly asked Ye Feng.
Ye Feng took the mustard seed bracelet, probed it with his spiritual power to sense it briefly, then nodded and put it away, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
With 10,000 drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid, plus what he had previously obtained from Gu Xuan and his own savings, he now had more than 20,000 drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid.
This enormous resource is enough to support him in breaking through to the third-rank supreme level.
However, Ye Feng did not release the person immediately, but instead changed the subject.
"The Xuan Bone Supreme is truly delightful, but Ye Feng doesn't feel the need to rush to release this bone shadow."
"To avoid trouble from your Xuan Gu Hall and my Tian Feng Pavilion, this Bone Shadow will remain in my Tian Feng Pavilion as a hostage for the time being, and will be allowed to return after one year."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and their admiration for Ye Feng grew even stronger.
To accept the Supreme Spiritual Liquid and then make such a demand of a Rank 4 Supreme requires considerable courage.
Detaining Bone Shadow temporarily can indeed prevent Xuan Gu Supreme from turning against us directly, and at least ensure the safety of Tianfeng Pavilion in the short term.
Even a third-rank supreme being is extremely important to a force of the Xuan Gu Hall's level, and its loss is unacceptable.
"Lord of the Palace—"
Bone Shadow's face grew increasingly pale, his lips trembled, and he looked pleadingly at Xuan Gu Supreme.
Xuan Gu Supreme's expression darkened, his eyes flashed with cold light, and a vast spiritual power surged out from his body, its overwhelming power permeating the heavens and earth.
"Young man, don't push your luck!"
The voice of the Supreme Xuangu was hoarse, filled with suppressed anger.
As a fourth-rank Supreme Being and the Lord of the Xuan Gu Hall, he is a figure of considerable importance in the southeastern region of the Hundred Battles Domain. His personal arrival to redeem the person and his offering of 10,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids is already a great show of respect.
This young man in front of me dares to push his luck. Does he really think I won't dare to make a move?
"Trying to push your luck?"
Ye Feng's lips curled into a faint smile, his dark and deep eyes calmly meeting Xuan Gu Supreme's gaze, showing no sign of backing down.
"If we release this Bone Shadow back now, you might change your mind. I'm not afraid, but I don't want to cause any more trouble."
"Elder Gu Ying will be a guest of my Tianfeng Pavilion for a year. After a year, I will release him back. If your Xuan Gu Hall still wants to cause trouble then, I will take care of it."
Ye Feng's voice was loud and clear, resounding with conviction.
A year is enough time for him to improve his strength again and undergo some transformation, or even less time, half a year would be enough.
The world was completely silent.
Everyone held their breath, their gazes shifting back and forth between Ye Feng and Xuan Gu Supreme, awaiting the final outcome.
Xuan Gu Supreme's apparent strength far surpasses that of Ye Feng, the Pavilion Master of Tianfeng Pavilion, but if they were to actually fight, at this distance, it would be impossible for him to save Gu Ying.
"Bone Shadow—that piece of trash—"
Xuan Gu Supreme's expression was uncertain, his gaze fixed on Ye Feng, his spiritual power surging like a tide, struggling in his heart, and he couldn't help but transfer his anger to Gu Ying.
He longed to slap this arrogant person to death, but the other party's fearless attitude made him wary, especially since Bone Shadow was still in his hands.
Such a young second-grade supreme being possesses the strength to easily kill a third-grade supreme being. He simply cannot believe that there is no powerful force supporting him behind the scenes.
If we were to turn against each other now, the consequences would be unpredictable.
He could wait a year, but if this person broke his promise and refused to release Bone Shadow, he would make this person pay the price no matter what.
"Alright, I agree."
Xuan Gu Supreme took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
"Bone Shadow will be a guest at your Heavenly Wind Pavilion for a year. After a year, I will personally come to pick you up."
"If Bone Shadow suffers any mishap in this year, I will ensure that your Heavenly Wind Pavilion is wiped out completely!"
The Supreme Xuan Gu's voice was hoarse, carrying a cold warning.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Profound Bone Supreme gave Ye Feng a deep look, then his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.
There was a deathly silence between heaven and earth.
Everyone stared blankly in the direction where the Xuan Gu Supreme had left, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
A fourth-grade Supreme Being handed over ten thousand Supreme Spirit Liquids and then left without even bringing back the hostage. It all seemed too fantastical.
"The Supreme Xuan Bone has retreated—"
Chen Duanjin's face was pale, and he let out a dry whisper.
"this--"
Li Baixing's pupils dilated violently, his back was drenched in cold sweat, and the last shred of hope in his heart vanished completely.
This newly emerged Heavenly Wind Pavilion Master is someone even the Profound Bone Supreme dares not act rashly against; what is a First-Rank Supreme like him?
Sheng Yuan, Shi Yan, and the other members of Tianfeng Pavilion were overjoyed, their eyes filled with reverence.
Their sect leader is truly remarkable!
Today's battle will surely make the reputation of Tianfeng Pavilion resound throughout the entire Qinghuang Ancient Plains, and even the southeastern region of the Hundred Battles Domain.
And from this day forward, the name of their leader will officially enter the sight of this chaotic land.
"The Pavilion Master is mighty!"
Someone shouted first, and then everyone in Tianfeng Pavilion shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.
Ye Feng remained calm, raised his hand and gestured for everyone to quiet down.
Today, he brought these people from the Heavenly Wind Pavilion, all above the Tongtian Realm, here with the aim of establishing some prestige. Now, his goal has clearly been achieved, exceeding their expectations.
Then, Ye Feng turned his gaze to Chen Duanjin and Li Baixing, a half-smile playing on his lips.
The unification of the Qinghuang Ancient Plains is inevitable, but both of these people have corresponding forces behind them. He already has a grudge against the Xuan Gu Palace, so it is not advisable for him to make enemies everywhere.
The strength of a second-grade supreme being is somewhat insufficient. It is unwise for the Heavenly Wind Pavilion to expand rapidly at present. It is better to temporarily occupy the original territory of the skeletons and maintain stability for a period of time.
Once his strength advances further, it will be feasible for him to either unify the Qinghuang Ancient Plains or extend his reach to this vast southeastern region. Above the sky, Ye Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze slightly thoughtful. In just a moment, he weighed the pros and cons.
Ye Feng then glanced at the crowd, his gaze landing on Sheng Yuan, Shi Yan, and the other members of the Tianfeng Pavilion.
"Shengyuan, Shiyan."
Ye Feng spoke calmly, his expression stern.
"Your subordinate is here!"
Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan quickly stepped forward and bowed.
They had all witnessed everything that had just happened in this world, and they felt nothing but admiration for this Pavilion Master.
The strength of Gu Ying, who killed Gu Xuan and severely injured a third-grade supreme being, is something that a second-grade supreme being could not possibly possess.
Most importantly, he remained calm and composed when facing a fourth-rank supreme being, holding a complete advantage.
After receiving 10,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids, he was able to get the Profound Bone Supreme to compromise and leave.
Following such a figure, given time, they may well have the opportunity to glimpse the realm of the supreme.
"After today's matter is settled, order your men to take over the territory of the Dry Bone Sect. If there is any resistance or disturbance—"
Ye Feng paused, his gaze sweeping over the three original forces in the sky.
"Kill without mercy."
"yes!"
The two responded in unison, their eyes filled with excitement.
The Dry Bone Sect has occupied the southwestern region of the Qinghuang Ancient Plain for many years. If it can be successfully taken over, the strength of the Heavenly Wind Pavilion will surely increase greatly.
As for when the Broken Gold Society and the Hundred Lines Sect will make their move, that depends on their Pavilion Master. With their strength, these two forces will find it extremely difficult to resist.
"That's enough for today, let's all disperse."
Ye Feng let out a soft breath, then waved his hand and headed straight for Tianfeng City with the injured Bone Shadow.
"Let's report the situation in the Azure Wasteland to Supreme Remnant Star and Supreme Town Master respectively. Without joining the Heavenly Wind Pavilion, it will be extremely difficult for either of us to gain a foothold in this region in the future."
Li Baixing stared at the spot where Ye Feng had left, his expression grave.
The forces behind them are no match for the Xuan Gu Palace. Even the Xuan Gu Palace doesn't dare to do anything to this newly emerged Tianfeng Pavilion Master. It goes without saying what the attitude of the forces they rely on will be.
"There's nothing wrong with joining the Heavenly Wind Pavilion. This Pavilion Master Ye Feng is no ordinary person. However, he has ultimately offended the Profound Bone Palace by using Bone Shadow as a hostage."
"It's hard to say how the Xuan Gu Supreme will react when the one-year deadline arrives—"
Chen Duanjin continued the conversation, already having some plans in mind.
Before today, he had the idea of controlling a force and ruling over the Qinghuang Ancient Plain.
However, this idea was too unrealistic at the moment, so he had to give it up and find another way out.
This Ye Feng, the Pavilion Master of Tianfeng Pavilion who appeared out of nowhere, is someone that even the Remnant Star Supreme and the Yin Luo Sect behind him might not be able to do anything to.
With the Tianfeng Pavilion just being established, if he were to join it, given his strength as a first-grade supreme being, he might very well be able to obtain a decent position.
As for the trouble with the Xuan Gu Hall, he believed that the Tianfeng Pavilion Master would not act rashly. Since he dared to set a deadline, he was naturally not afraid of retaliation.
"There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. I've certainly learned a lot today."
'
""
Tianfeng City.
Main hall.
"This person is named Gu Ying. His strength was originally at the third-rank Supreme level. He is an elder of the Xuan Gu Hall. I have now sealed the spiritual power in his body. Take him away and take good care of him. Do not neglect him."
From his seat, Ye Feng looked down at Wang Fu and briefly introduced the origins of Bone Shadow before settling him in.
Bone Shadow's cultivation level was slightly higher than his, making sealing him somewhat troublesome. Fortunately, his spiritual power was special, and it only took some time to completely suppress him.
Throughout that year, he kept his word and treated everyone as a guest.
Of course, this is on the premise that the Xuan Gu Palace doesn't do anything underhanded; otherwise, they would be more willing than you to send Bone Shadow to his death.
"The Supreme Rank Three"
Wang Fu was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with shock as he stared in disbelief at the pale-faced, bony figure, his mind reeling.
Previously on the Jade Origin Continent, he had seen the adult attack the Zhu family patriarch, and his strength was remarkable and not weak at all, but he did not expect him to be this powerful.
Even a second-rank supreme being like the Zhu family patriarch would have to run away if facing a third-rank supreme being, but the person he was following could be dealt with with ease.
"My lord, how did this person end up in the Azure Wasteland? Did you encounter something during your trip to the Broken Gold Gathering—?"
Wang Fu looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You will know about this when Sheng Yuan and the others return."
Ye Feng chuckled, offering no further explanation.
"Yes."
Wang Fu bowed in response and withdrew with Gu Ying.
Watching the two leave, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
The fact that the Supreme Xuan Gu retreated today, and that we didn't have to confront him directly, was largely due to luck.
If he were the kind of reckless fool who doesn't care about anything, then today's situation wouldn't have ended so easily.
Because by then, he will not only be facing Xuan Gu Supreme, but also the powerful figures under his command.
The Xuan Gu Palace also has a Rank 3 Supreme Being, and in addition, it controls a Xuan Gu Army, making its strength quite formidable in the southeastern region.
"Now that we have established ourselves in this desolate ancient plain, we cannot afford to waste a single moment of the next year—"
Ye Feng's eyes flickered, he took a soft breath, then slowly closed his eyes, took out the Supreme Spiritual Liquid from the Mustard Seed Bracelet, and began to cultivate.
The Supreme Ninth Rank brings about a dramatic change in one's strength with each advancement, an irresistible temptation.
This is also his way of quickly improving his strength in a short period of time. Although cultivating the Blazing Fire Sword Body brings great benefits, it is difficult for him to gather 50,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids in a short period of time.
However, once you break through to the third rank, obtaining the Supreme Spirit Liquid will become much easier.
Time passed quietly under Ye Feng's cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
The ancient, desolate plains.
In just one month, news from outside Duanjin City spread like wildfire across this vast land spanning tens of thousands of miles, and even reached deeper into the southeastern region of the Hundred Battles Domain.
Tianfeng Pavilion, Pavilion Master Ye Feng.
These words suddenly appeared like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, entering the sight of all the forces, large and small, in this chaotic land.
Ye Feng, the Pavilion Master of Tianfeng Pavilion, killed Gu Xuan and severely injured Gu Ying, a third-grade supreme being, forcing Xuan Gu Palace Master, Xuan Gu Supreme, to compromise and surrender ten thousand drops of supreme spiritual liquid.
These events, one after another, sound like something out of a fairy tale. Yet, this scene was witnessed by hundreds of eyes outside Duanjin City that day, leaving no room for doubt.
As the news spread, the most direct impact was that Tianfeng City became increasingly prosperous, and the influence of Tianfeng Pavilion inadvertently spread from Qinghuang Ancient Plains to the entire southeastern region.
"Sect Master, five more people at the Tongtian Realm have come to serve us today. Among them, two have overcome the difficulties of the physical body, two have overcome the difficulties of spiritual power, and one has overcome the difficulties of the divine soul."
Inside the main hall, Wang Fu stood respectfully at the lower end, holding a scroll of names in his hands, his voice full of excitement.
In less than two months, Tianfeng Pavilion has grown from its initial establishment to a considerable size. Now, there are more than a hundred people at the Tongtian Realm or above. If those at the Fusion Realm and Transformation Realm are included, the number is even more astonishing.
"Um.
""
Ye Feng sat upright in the main seat, nodding slightly, his expression calm.
He had anticipated this situation to some extent.
If Tianfeng Pavilion demonstrates strength sufficient to crush any force in the Qinghuang Ancient Plains, it will inevitably attract many people to join its ranks.
However, no supreme being has arrived yet, which indicates that Tianfeng Pavilion is still not powerful enough.
"With more people, it's inevitable that there will be a mix of good and bad, and there may be spies planted by various forces among them. You need to be careful to distinguish them."
""
"If you are not strong enough, you can have Qianxuan assist you."
Ye Feng's gaze fell on Wang Fu, and he gave him some advice and reminders.
The Qianxuan he mentioned was a person with a triple Divine Soul. He had been chased and killed half a month ago, and was seriously injured when he fled to the Qinghuang Ancient Plain, where he was rescued. Their relationship was clean, and he was considered a reliable person.
Over the past month, although he has spent most of his time cultivating, he has also devoted a lot of effort to the development and consolidation of Tianfeng Pavilion's power.
Today, Tianfeng Pavilion has taken shape and its manpower is sufficient to create an army.
Unfortunately, none of his subordinates currently possess the talent for battle; he can only recruit them gradually in the future.
"Understood."
