After bidding farewell to Zhao Wan, Ye Feng headed straight to the Treasure Pavilion. Along the way, although many disciples recognized his identity, they hurriedly averted their eyes and moved aside.
The expressions on their faces varied; some were excited, some seemed to revel in misfortune, but most wore looks of regret. After all, Li Fengyun's reputation in the Outer Sect was not particularly high.
Ye Feng naturally understood why these people appeared so strange. The Li Fengyun he had incapacitated must have been carried back to the sect, and the news should have spread. In the eyes of these Outer Sect Disciples, Li Fengyun's elders would certainly not let this matter rest easily.
The Li Family was a prominent clan located in Nanfeng City in the southern part of the Northern Jin Kingdom. As a medium-sized city, Nanfeng City was relatively prosperous within the southern territories of Northern Jin. The two major families there, the Li Family and the Qi Family, held considerable prestige in Southern Northern Jin. Li Fengyun's father, Li Xingqi, was previously the head of the Li Family but later took on the role of Hall Master at Azure Dragon Hall in Dragon Tiger Sect and remained there for an extended period, passing leadership to his younger brother, Li Longji.
All this information came from Zhao Wan, whom he encountered at the sect. Zhao Wan now relied heavily on him and shared all the intelligence he had without hesitation.
In addition to having to deal with the formidable enemy that was Li Xingqi, Zhao Wan also informed him about Zhao Qingyang's elder sister, Zhao Yuanxin.
Zhao Yuanxin ranked second among all Core Disciples in Fengyu Holy Institute and had reached the Seventh Level of Yuan Martial Realm. Previously, she had been in a forest in southern Northern Jin due to an important sect mission. Now that she had heard about Zhao Qingyang's death, she specifically rushed to Dragon Tiger Sect to confront him.
If it were before, Ye Feng would have felt some trepidation towards Zhao Yuanxin. However, given his current strength, he found her Seventh Level of Yuan Martial Realm insignificant and did not regard her as a threat. His real concern lay with Li Xingqi and others from the Li Family.
After all, Li Xingqi was a Core Elder within the sect and an Expert of the Gale Martial Realm. Even if he did not dare to confront Ye Feng directly, it would be troublesome if he insisted on punishing him according to sect rules.
"Let's see how my master handles this. If even my master is unwilling to help me, then I don't need to stay at Dragon Tiger Sect any longer. I can just leave the sect and return to Ye Family to make further plans!"
With this thought in mind, Ye Feng gradually felt more at ease. He walked boldly toward the direction of Treasure Pavilion without any fear on his face.
As soon as he entered the courtyard of Treasure Pavilion, his senior brother Yang Han rushed over with an excited expression and said to Ye Feng, "You brat! You finally came back! I was worried sick! The old man at home is almost going crazy; he's been talking about you non-stop! If you hadn't returned soon, I might have been sent to Silvermoon City to find you!"
Ye Feng chuckled softly; he hadn't expected his senior brother not to blame him for incapacitating Li Fengyun. He scanned Yang Han with his Soul Thought and quickly discerned his true cultivation level.
"Sixth Level of Yuan Wu Realm; that's quite impressive!" Ye Feng thought to himself in surprise. His seemingly indifferent senior brother had surprisingly reached such a high level.
"Thank you for your concern, senior brother; I feel quite ashamed!" Ye Feng replied calmly while bowing slightly as usual.
"You brat! After going away for a while, your cultivation has improved quite a bit! Seventh Level? Or is it Yae? I can't see through you at all!" Yang Han asked quietly while leading the way.
"Seventh Level of Yuan Martial Realm!" Ye Feng smiled lightly. Having learned from Zhao Wan's experience, he decided not to reveal his true cultivation level for now.
"Seventh Level? That's fine... Wait! Seventh Level? You're already above me?" Yang Han's body shook as shock filled his chubby face. His lips trembled as he exclaimed, "No way! You're joking, right? You really are at Seventh Level of Yuan Martial Realm?"
Ye Feng smiled but did not explain further as he stepped into Treasure Pavilion first, leaving Yang Han behind muttering in disbelief.
“Brat, that's definitely nonsense. Two months, and you've improved your cultivation to the Yae realm, even crossing a major boundary. How is that possible? No, this kid must be lying to me. He sees that I am at the Sixth Level, so he claims to be at the Seventh Level, trying to overshadow me as his senior brother. Hmph, it's not that simple. I, Yang Han, am not someone to be underestimated. I will definitely find an opportunity to compete with him!”
Ye Feng relied on his strong hearing; although he could clearly hear Yang Han's muttering, he paid it no mind and continued walking directly toward the private room where he had previously met the old man.
As before, just as he reached the door of the private room, it opened automatically. Bai Chengfeng was pacing back and forth inside the room, looking extremely anxious.
At this moment, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel surprised. Bai Chengfeng was a master of the Gangwu Realm; could he really be so flustered over an Outer Sect Grand Competition?
“Brat, you finally returned! Did your cultivation get delayed? What is your current level?” Bai Chengfeng's expression turned serious as soon as he saw Ye Feng. Without waiting for Ye Feng to respond, he grabbed Ye Feng's wrist to check his cultivation.
“There’s no Elemental Wave in your Meridian. What’s going on with you? Did someone cripple your cultivation? But you look like someone who has been completely crippled!” Bai Chengfeng exclaimed in shock, completely baffled by Ye Feng's condition.
Ye Feng let out a long breath. He hadn’t expected that after fully refining his Seven Elemental Essence, he could easily control all of his Vital Energy within his body. If he wanted to, he could leave no Vital Energy in his Meridian at all, and no one could probe into another person's Dantian to check their condition because that was a major taboo among martial artists. Even Bai Chengfeng, as Ye Feng's master, would not casually do such a thing.
Ye Feng felt a slight movement in his heart and released nearly ninety percent of the Earth Elemental Power from the Earth Origin Pill into his Meridian.
Feeling the Elemental Wave in the Meridian, Bai Chengfeng's expression changed slightly as he said incredulously, “Such pure Earth Elemental Power! I didn’t expect that not only have you cultivated to the Seventh Level, but you have also completely refined the Earth Elemental Power from the Mixed Elemental Dan. Your future cultivation will surely go smoothly, and you'll soon break through to the Gangwu Realm!”
In Ye Feng's Dantian, there was only the Earth Origin Pill. Due to absorbing the Earth Origin Crystal, the Earth Elemental Power contained within far exceeded that of other Essence Pills and was close to reaching a minor completion stage. However, Bai Chengfeng did not know that Ye Feng was deliberately hiding his cultivation level at this moment.
“I must thank my master for your teachings; otherwise, my cultivation speed wouldn’t be so rapid!” Ye Feng said humbly.
“Your control over Vital Energy is almost on par with Old Man’s. To raise your cultivation level so much in just two months shows that Old Man did not misjudge you!” Bai Chengfeng sighed. Thinking about how quickly Ye Feng had improved his cultivation level in such a short time made him feel somewhat astonished; however, in front of his junior, he managed to restrain himself and tried not to appear overly surprised.
“With your current cultivation level, Old Man can rest assured now. You should achieve good results in this competition!” Bai Chengfeng nodded appreciatively and began to find Ye Feng increasingly agreeable.
“Forgive my ignorance, but as far as I know, this competition is just an Outer Sect Grand Competition. Why is Master so anxious?” Ye Feng asked thoughtfully.
“Outer Sect Grand Competition?” Bai Chengfeng paused for a moment before slapping his forehead in realization and said, “Look at Old Man’s memory; I forgot to explain it to you in my letter!”
“This competition is more than just an Outer Sect Grand Competition. The Outer Sect Grand Competition will take place three days from now. After that competition, there will also be a large-scale trial jointly held by the Nine Major Sects. This trial will include all Core Disciples from Northern Jin’s Nine Major Sects. The results of this trial will affect our Dragon Tiger Sect’s future standing; we cannot afford any negligence!”
“A large-scale trial jointly held by the Nine Major Sects!” Ye Feng was completely stunned this time. Wasn’t Northern Jin Kingdom only home to Dragon Tiger Sect and Fengyu Holy Institute? When did seven more major sects emerge? Had seven small sects recently risen strongly within Northern Jin Kingdom and become comparable to Dragon Tiger Sect?
“That’s right; let me explain it to you in detail. Dragon Tiger Sect and Fengyu Holy Institute are naturally among the Nine Major Sects. Another one is Flowing Cloud Villa; although its strength is far inferior to our Dragon Tiger Sect’s, it still holds its own place among the Northern Frontier Five Nations and is thus participating in this trial!”
“Northern Frontier Five Nations? Flowing Cloud Villa?” Ye Feng suddenly understood; it turned out that this time participating in the large-scale trial were not only sects from Northern Jin Kingdom but also included four other small countries surrounding Northern Jin Kingdom.
The four small nations are located to the north and east of the Northern Jin Kingdom. They occupy the northwestern region of the Divine Martial Continent and are collectively referred to as the Northern Frontier Five Nations.
Corresponding to the Northern Frontier Five Nations, there are also the Southern Four Small Nations and the Four Great Empires in the eastern part of the Divine Martial Continent.
To the south of the Northern Jin Kingdom lies a vast expanse of forests and mountains, collectively known as the Forbidden Domain. This area is home to numerous powerful beasts with varying levels of cultivation, serving as a natural boundary between the Northern Frontier Five Nations and the Southern Four Nations.
Due to the presence of the Forbidden Domain, interactions between the Northern Frontier Five Nations and the Southern Four Nations are rare. Additionally, within the Northern Frontier Five Nations, the vast desert creates a separation, allowing the Northern Jin Kingdom to exist independently from the other four nations.
Among the Northern Frontier Five Nations, the Northern Jin Kingdom has not experienced any invasion due to its natural barriers, making it the most powerful. Of the nine sects in the Northern Frontier, three belong to Northern Jin: Fengyu Holy Institute, Dragon Tiger Sect, and Flowing Cloud Villa.
In the northeastern direction of the Northern Jin Kingdom, there are four small nations that border each other: Yue Kingdom, Shun Kingdom, Kun Kingdom, and Kang Kingdom.
The Northern Jin Kingdom is referred to as Jin State by outsiders; however, its citizens call it Northern Jin Kingdom because they pride themselves on their nation's strength surpassing that of the entire Northern Frontier.
Ye Feng had some understanding of this geographical distribution within the Divine Martial Continent but did not expect that there was also a Nine Sect Trial among the Northern Frontier Five Nations.
Bai Chengfeng said with a serious expression: "Apart from our three sects, there are also Yue Kingdom's Ling God Sword Sect, Tianshan Sect, Shun Kingdom's Primordial Court and Divine Dream Pavilion, Kun Kingdom's Golden Cloud Palace, and Kang Kingdom's Heavenly Gang Sect. These are the Nine Major Sects that will participate in this trial!"
