Qin Empire Envoy Group arrived unexpectedly, which was already surprising for the higher-ups of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. However, this surprise seemed trivial compared to the news of the prophet's 'death'.
In the midst of this shock, Sky Whirlwind and others were still focused on the upcoming martial arts competition. Following the usual schedule, the visit from the Envoy Group was meant for the biennial exchange, which would allow both sides to gauge the strength of each other's younger generation.
It could also be seen as a mutual exposure. If it weren't for the unexpected incident involving Huang Tian, Sky Whirlwind, despite being Ye Feng, would have had no reason to organize this competition. After all, it was beneficial for both parties. However, the current situation had changed significantly.
Since the prophet of the Qin Empire had already 'died', continuing with the competition seemed unnecessary. First of all, who among them was qualified to replace the World-Walking Prophet? Secondly, if the Envoy Group casually picked someone, Heavenly Mechanism Sect would have to send out their most promising Core Disciple to compete!
This would seem quite unfair! The other side had received favorable news, while Heavenly Mechanism Sect would end up losing out! Therefore, from the perspective of the higher-ups, none of the Hall Masters of Heavenly Mechanism Sect wanted the competition to proceed as normal.
Of course, these sentiments could not gain agreement from the Envoy Group!
As a member of the Envoy Group, Yuxiu took on the role of leader in the absence of Huang Tian. No matter how one looked at it, he would not do anything detrimental to his side. Thus, facing the cunningness of Sky Whirlwind and others, he immediately expressed his opposition.
"Esteemed seniors, I shouldn't be saying much, but I want to emphasize that this biennial event is a visit of friendship between empires. Although our prophet has encountered an accident this time, it does not mean that this grand event should be interrupted. On the contrary, it is precisely because of such an incident that I have come here urgently to conclude matters and return home as soon as possible!"
Yuxiu spoke passionately and without fear in front of the powerful figures of Heavenly Mechanism Sect, exuding righteousness: "Our reckless arrival may have been impolite, but if you seniors wish to break tradition and not hold a proper match that should take place, then I will find it difficult to report back home. I hope you can understand and arrange things promptly!"
The implication was clear: there was no reason for Sky Whirlwind and others to continue opposing. Even on their own turf, faced with such an obvious matter, Sky Whirlwind and others felt somewhat disgruntled and said nothing further!
However, the expressions of various Hall Masters were clearly not pleasant. They carefully observed those in the Envoy Group, finding no one qualified to battle against their Core Disciple. This only served to bolster their confidence!
Sky Whirlwind cleared his throat a few times and glanced over his fellow Hall Masters, then turned to Yuxiu, smiling as he said: "Since Envoy One Heart wishes to fulfill the prophet's duties, then I shall not stop you. However, I am very curious about which individual from the Envoy Group intends to carry out what our prophet could not complete?"
Upon hearing this, those with Yuxiu trembled slightly; they understood that this was a challenge from Ye Feng. The meaning behind his words was clearly mocking them—could they still produce someone qualified to fight against their Core Disciple?
If Huang Tian were truly dead, Yuxiu and others would not continue insisting on this matter. But in reality, Huang Tian was not dead; instead, under false pretenses of death, he had chosen an optimal substitute! This substitute was none other than a disguised Ye Feng!
Yuxiu gave a signal to Ye Feng! Under the alias of Feng Ye, he understood immediately. Although facing his own sect's elders with a different appearance was awkward, he performed exceptionally well without revealing any signs of familiarity—he appeared just like a member of the Envoy Group!
With his concealed cultivation aura adding another layer of disguise, there were no issues exposed. Thus, those from Heavenly Mechanism Sect did not notice anything unusual about this person named Feng Ye!
Now that Yuxiu had signaled him, they finally noticed that this young man seemed rather extraordinary!
Seeing that it was time for him to make his appearance, though feeling awkward about it, Ye Feng stepped forward without hesitation. He clasped his fists towards Sky Whirlwind and others and solemnly stated: "I am here as the one taking over the prophet's mission—Feng Ye. Before his passing, he repeatedly instructed me to fulfill his wishes. This is not something I should be doing; however, I have no choice but to take it upon myself. I hope esteemed seniors can forgive me!"
At these words, everyone gasped in surprise. The higher-ups of Heavenly Mechanism Sect looked at this Feng Ye incredulously; their astonishment mixed with released Divine Consciousness began locking onto him! With so many Martial Saints present and even one terrifying figure like Ye Feng, they locked onto his aura! Inside, Ye Feng felt increasingly anxious!
If he wasn't completely confident in his concealment, and considering that he had been hiding his cultivation within the Sect for some time, even if someone could detect his true realm, they would not be able to associate him with the Sect disciple Ye Feng! Therefore, he wasn't too worried!
However, this guilty feeling almost caused Ye Feng to reveal his true self! It wasn't until everyone's perception was completely withdrawn that he slowly let out a sigh of relief!
But the Hall Masters who sensed some tricks behind Ye Feng's true realm had exceptionally serious expressions! As they were all veteran Martial Saints, they understood that this Feng Ye possessed considerable strength!
The elusive aura of a Martial Saint was not something an ordinary early-stage or peak early-stage practitioner could compare to! In other words, this young man before them, whom they couldn't see through, was at least a terrifying figure at the mid-stage or even peak of Martial Saint!
Upon reaching this conclusion, the Hall Masters of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect displayed rare expressions of astonishment! While young Martial Saints were not uncommon, it was quite rare to find juniors who surpassed half of the Martial Saints. Even among the Inner Sect's Core Disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, there were likely very few who could match this young man!
Qianjizi, the Hall Master of Fate Hall, possessed keen perception. Among his peers, he had the most discerning eye. The moment he realized Feng Ye's terrifying potential, he began transmitting messages to everyone using Vital Energy!
"Quite an impressive individual! His power is likely comparable only to the Sect Master and that madman present! When did such a young figure emerge from the Qin Empire? It seems that things ahead won't be so simple!"
The hidden implication of this statement suggested that their planned sparring with the disciples might need to turn serious. The question now was which Core Disciple from the Inner Sect would be suitable to deal with this Feng Ye?
Feng Zhengyang didn't take Old Master's words seriously; his explosive temper led him to agree rarely: "You're right. It seems we underestimated the potential of the Qin Empire's Envoy Group. Who would have thought that even after the renowned Mythical Prophet's passing, such an outstanding young person could follow in their footsteps? Truly frightening!"
Almost all Hall Masters present from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were shocked by Feng Ye's concealed aura because he surpassed most of them. From an age perspective, this was quite embarrassing!
However, standing in a high position within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they couldn't help but worry whether their Inner Sect's Core Disciples could face this young man.
In this regard, no one had more authority than Sky Whirlwind! After retracting his Divine Consciousness, he revealed a sly glint in his eyes but quickly concealed it again, replaced by genuine surprise!
Facing Qianjizi and others' telepathic conversation, he also expressed his opinion!
"Everyone, it seems that this battle is inevitable. Let's not dwell on the potential of this newcomer from the Qin Empire's Envoy Group. Our priority is to fulfill our duties. Since we bear the task of visiting various empires' Sects for the Prophet Walker event every few years, we shouldn't overthink it. We will soon need to send our disciples out to travel across nations!"
Once the Sect Master spoke up, no one dared to object. Since it had been decided to arrange matters properly, they would next host the Envoy Group and select disciples while waiting for the competition schedule.
Having reached such a consensus privately, Sky Whirlwind looked at Yuxiu and others and said warmly: "Since the envoy wishes to complete the Prophet's grand undertaking, I won't say much more. This young brother Feng Ye is indeed exceptional. For now, you may rest in your guest rooms. I will arrange for you all to spar soon; how does that sound?"
With this said, Yuxiu naturally had no objections. Although he wanted things to proceed as quickly as possible, he refrained from saying more due to Sky Whirlwind's profound cultivation and status as master. He clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for your trouble, Sect Master! We will go rest now and later visit all Hall Masters!"
"Good good good! Go ahead!"
With that said, two Inner Sect Disciples led the Envoy Group out of the Council Hall, leaving behind several Martial Saints from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect who exchanged glances with each other; they still found it hard to let go of this matter!
"Old Master, it seems our little scheme has fallen through. I must say, I feel quite sorry for that Prince Prophet who has passed away. He was famous long before I ever met him; what a pity!" Feng Zhengyang couldn't shake off the news brought by the Envoy Group and felt some sympathy for the innocent Huang Tian who had 'died unjustly.'
Qianjizi shook his head upon hearing this, choosing not to comment on the matter. He simply thought it was sudden and absurd to the point of disbelief.
Sky Whirlwind, however, made a definitive statement: "The world is unpredictable; who can foresee the will of heaven? Since that legendary prince is gone, we should focus on the current situation. In my view, that kid named Feng Ye might be even more troublesome than the prince we never got to meet!"
"This..." Everyone suddenly realized what the Sect Leader meant.
"Sect Leader, what do you think that kid's background is? I haven't heard of anyone like him in this Envoy Group from the Qin Empire!" Mystic Array Hall's Hall Master, Zhu Feng, finally voiced what everyone was thinking. With this remark, everyone's thoughts turned back to the young man named Feng Ye.
Sky Whirlwind stroked his beard and gazed mysteriously at the horizon before saying, "It's hard to say. I'm afraid this time, besides our Heavenly Mechanism Sect, both Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect might also suffer losses!"
"Oh?" The implication of his words was difficult to decipher! Could it be that this kid named Feng Ye could defeat the Core Disciples of Sky Abyss Empire and the Three Great Heavenly-Level Sects?
If that's true, then this time the Qin Empire's Envoy Group would surely be in for a grand spectacle!
But the problem is, they had no idea about Feng Ye's background. The Mythical Prince who was supposed to shine brightly had already left; could this upcoming competition still be considered legitimate?
