Ye Feng had not noticed the Shape-shifting Beast but was looking in the direction of Whitefloat City when he saw a familiar bald figure approaching on a Flying Bamboo Raft and exclaimed in surprise, “Why has Steward Zhou Jiaqian come?”

When Xin Guangxuan heard the voice, he also looked over and immediately waved to Zhou Jiaqian, saying, “Steward Zhou, long time no see!”

This scene made Ye Feng’s expression freeze for a moment.

From a distance, Zhou Jiaqian saw the flying vessel and was initially stunned, thinking to himself when had the Misty Sect become so wealthy to buy a flying vessel priced over six hundred Spirit Stones.

The next moment, upon hearing Xin Guangxuan’s voice, Zhou Jiaqian touched his bald head and muttered, “So it’s the people from Liuyun Sect that have arrived… But why would they be at Misty Sect?”

Zhou Jiaqian sped up and soon arrived at the summit of Misty Peak.

On seeing the renovated Misty Sect, he first praised them, then turned to Xin Guangxuan and bowed with clasped hands, “As expected of a talented disciple from the Sect, you have surpassed me after three years of separation.”

Xin Guangxuan smiled, “Steward Zhou is being modest. How can I compare with you?”

“You two know each other?” Ye Feng asked.

Zhou Jiaqian nodded, “Three years ago, the Third Elder of Liuyun Sect came to Whitefloat City with five disciples, and Xin Guangxuan was among them. However, at that time he was only at the third level of Qi Refinement, but after three years, he’s nearly reaching the Element Gathering Realm.”

Xin Guangxuan just smiled and stayed quiet.

“Right, if you’re here, where is the leading Third Elder?” Zhou Jiaqian looked around and only upon catching a glimpse in the corner of his eye did he see the Liuyun Sect Third Elder lying on the flying vessel, causing his eyes to widen in shock, “What happened to the Third Elder?”

“On the way here, we encountered a Fanged Mad Pig and a Dual-winged Giant Crocodile, and the Elder was unfortunately caught in the midst of it and suffered serious injuries,” Xin Guangxuan explained with an odd expression.

In fact, he knew the truth.

The Third Elder was not unfortunate to be caught in the midst, but tried to take advantage of the chaos. Not only did he fail to get anything out of it, but he was also seriously injured by two Peak Demon Generals; he likely wouldn’t be able to use his Peak powers for a while.

“Oh…” Zhou Jiaqian was somewhat skeptical, “Anyway, why have you come to Sect Master Ye’s place?”

Upon hearing this, Xin Guangxuan promptly recounted the incident with the Black Patterned Serpent Demon.

Having heard that Ye Feng managed to fight on par with a Demi-transformed Demon Beast, Zhou Jiaqian was dumbfounded.

That was a Demi-transformed Demon Beast, incredibly powerful; normally, it would take several cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refinement to contend with it.

Yet, Ye Feng was enough by himself.

Such strength was truly frightening!

Before long, Zhou Jiaqian remembered his mission and hurriedly said to Ye Feng, “Sect Master Ye, the Deputy City Lord requests your presence.”

“The Deputy City Lord wants to see me?” Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.

“Yes,” Zhou Jiaqian nodded, turned to Xin Guangxuan, and said, “Right, since the Third Elder has already arrived, it’s best to quickly take him to the City Lord’s Mansion for the Deputy City Lord to personally take care of him!”

“Okay,” Xin Guangxuan said.

A moment later.

A group of people took the flying vessel towards Whitefloat City.

This time, Ye Feng noticed that the flying vessel did not stop in front of the east city gate but flew over the wall and landed directly in front of the grand and imposing complex at the city center.

On the plaque above the door, the three characters “City Lord’s Mansion” were particularly eye-catching, and in the lower right corner of the text, there was a golden starburst symbol.

This was the symbol of a One-star Sect.

As soon as they entered the grand hall, Ye Feng saw a person in ornate garments facing away from them.

On bended knee, Zhou Jiaqian reported respectfully, “Your Honor Deputy City Lord, Sect Master Ye from Misty Sect, the Third Elder of Liuyun Sect, and Xin Guangxuan along with other Liuyun Inner Sect Disciples have all arrived.”

“Oh? Cousin Three has arrived?”

The Deputy City Lord turned around, revealing his true face.

This was a middle-aged man with a dignified face and grizzled temples, emitting an aura of long-held authority, commanding respect without anger.

Especially those eyes, as sharp as knives.

However, his voice was very hoarse, as if he had contracted some strange illness.

Upon seeing the Third Elder of the Liuyun Sect lying on the stretcher, the Deputy City Lord furrowed his thick eyebrows and hurried forward to check, confirming that the Third Elder was only unconscious and not in life-threatening danger, he then asked in a deep voice,

“What happened?”

A pressure belonging to the Element Gathering Realm spread out, and even Ye Feng felt a tremendous pressure.

“The Deputy City Lord could definitely take on ten Brother Flatheads!” Ye Feng thought to himself.

Xin Guangxuan quickly clenched his fists in greeting and said, “Today, as I passed by the Fuyun Gloomy Forest on the south bank of the Fenhuo River, I encountered a Fanged Mad Pig and a Dual-winged Giant Crocodile…”

He compromised his conscience a bit, optimizing the story somewhat, of course, he also mentioned Ye Feng’s act of saving people.

Hearing this, the Deputy City Lord looked at Ye Feng in surprise, “I’d thought that Sect Master Ye was only unique in his teaching of spells, but to think you are a body cultivator… No, your physique is different from that of a body cultivator!”

Before the Deputy City Lord could finish speaking, Ye Feng felt as if he was being scanned from head to toe by a scanner, and a term quickly popped into his mind.

Spiritual Sense!

This was a special power that could be born from the Element Gathering Realm, akin to the spell “All-Dimensional Spiritual Perception” in their unique ways.

When a cultivator ascended to the Divine Origin Realm, the Spiritual Sense could transform into even stronger Divine Sense, allowing one to easily control a sword to kill enemies from thousands of miles away.

“You have a mortal body… but how can a mortal body possess such immense strength?”

The Deputy City Lord had completed his scouting of Ye Feng with Spiritual Sense and discovered that he indeed had a mortal body, his eyes immediately filling with doubt.

“Cough cough!”

At this moment, the sleeping Third Elder of the Liuyun Sect coughed a few times and finally woke up.

“A mortal body cannot possess such formidable strength, perhaps, he is the Chosen One,” the Third Elder said as he sat up straight with the support of Pang Haiyun.

He was indeed unconscious, but that only meant his body couldn’t move; his Spiritual Sense was still able to detect everything happening around him, and naturally, he remembered how Ye Feng had repelled the Black Patterned Serpent Demon.

“Chosen One?”

Upon hearing this, everyone else showed surprised expressions, finding the term too unfamiliar.

“The so-called Chosen One is a special being blessed with the Power of Heaven and Earth. Even without any cultivation level, they can exert strength far beyond that of an ordinary person. From my observations, Sect Master Ye is very similar to the rumored Chosen Ones,” the Third Elder of the Liuyun Sect said weakly.

Chosen One?

I’m definitely not that!

Ye Feng complained inwardly.

It was because of a System bug that all the strength was added to his body, and he had nothing to do with the Chosen Ones at all!

“What? It turns out I am the Chosen One! No wonder I suddenly mastered such formidable strength. This is indeed miraculous,” Ye Feng exclaimed in astonishment.

Although he kept complaining to himself, he chose to pretend he was the Chosen One.

After all, he had no cultivation and he wasn’t a body cultivator either, yet he possessed such domineering power, which was bound to draw attention; using “Chosen One” as cover couldn’t be better.

“Hmm, Sect Master Ye is very likely the Chosen One,” the Third Elder of the Liuyun Sect nodded.

“Third Cousin, why would the Chosen One appear?” the Deputy City Lord asked with confusion.

Zhou Jiaqian, Xin Guangxuan, and others all pricked up their ears, wanting to understand why the Chosen One appeared and what their mission might be.

Even Ye Feng showed a look of curiosity—he wasn’t pretending to be interested; he was genuinely intrigued.
