Flight!

That had always been Ye Feng’s dream.

Although he couldn’t fly at present, when he encountered a spell that could let his disciples soar through the skies, his first thought was naturally to acquire it and have his disciples practice it.

“This spell makes the body lighter, and afterwards, by repelling against the earth’s energy field, one can fly through the air. Moreover, it consumes much less spiritual energy than sword flying, but the downside is that it’s slower,”

explained Xin Guangxuan in a low voice, noticing Ye Feng’s interest in the “Light Body Technique”.

At that moment, Zhou Jiaqian had already landed on the ground and bowed towards Ye Feng and Xin Guangxuan, “The triennial Demon-Slaying Conference of Whitefloat City is about to commence, and I urge you both to make haste to the Council Hall in the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“So soon?” Ye Feng was surprised.

“I just received the news myself and have been promptly notifying the Sect Leaders. You two, I will continue to inform the others. Farewell!”

With that said, Zhou Jiaqian executed the “Light Body Technique” and flew off toward other places, leaving Ye Feng and Xin Guangxuan behind.

At this moment, within a secluded courtyard, the Tyrant Blade Sect’s Great Elder slammed his fists down on the table.

“Damn it! This Ye Feng is terrifyingly powerful, even destroying a high-level puppet. Once the Little Wolf General learns of this, I’ll surely be skinned alive at least three layers.”

At the thought, the Tyrant Blade Sect’s Great Elder clenched his teeth.

The “Arrow Bull Puppet” belonged to the Little Wolf General; it was temporarily placed with him for emergency use.

Initially, the Great Elder of the Tyrant Blade Sect only intended to assassinate Xin Guangxuan and Ye Feng, to induce panic and draw the fury of the Liuyun Sect, so that the pressure would primarily fall on the City Lord’s Mansion of Whitefloat City.

In doing so, the Great Elder could take the opportunity to cause some trouble.

Even if the assassination attempt failed, the Arrow Bull Puppet could have easily escaped.

But he had never anticipated that Ye Feng would be so fierce as to reverse the direction of the arrows, immediately disabling the Arrow Bull Puppet, leaving no chance for it to dodge.

“The Demon-Slaying Conference is about to begin, and Ye Feng will definitely leave Whitefloat City. At that time… hehehe!”

The Tyrant Blade Grand Elder’s smile grew increasingly twisted as he stared out of the doorway.

Ye Feng and Xin Guangxuan had arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion.

A squad leader of the Black Armored Guard, with a cultivation of Qi Refinement Seventh Layer, came forward and respectfully said to the two men:

“Sect Master Ye, Brother Xin, please follow me!”

Ye Feng recognized the Black Armored Guard.

This morning, this man was one of those actors, though his performance was quite exaggerated, the final effect was still quite satisfactory.

“Thank you.” Ye Feng smiled at the man.

Moments later, the two were led by the Black Armored Guard to a grand hall, where they were arranged to sit in the front row of seats.

At that time, the other seats were filled with many cultivators, all at least of Qi Refinement Seventh Layer and Sect Leader level or senior cultivators from lower rank sects, adding up to several dozen people.

Seeing Ye Feng, who had no apparent cultivation, sitting in the first row, many Sect Leaders showed surprised expressions, but dared not say much.

As time passed, more and more people arrived at the Council Hall.

Seeing Ye Feng seated in the first row, they all displayed the same expression of surprise, but thinking the seats were arranged by the Black Armored Guards of the City Lord’s Mansion, they didn’t dare to raise objections.

Among the crowd, Ye Feng also spotted Long Zhenchuan the head of the Long Family, Jia Li’an the patriarch of the Jia Family, and elder members of the Zhou Family, among others.

“So, the noble families of Whitefloat City are considered a type of sect power as well,” Ye Feng mused to himself.

Dong dong dong…

At that moment, a series of footsteps approached.

All present immediately stood up and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see the Deputy City Lord and Elder Lu Shanyue of Liuyun Sect walking in front with three Element Gathering Realm experts following behind them.

Ye Feng guessed that these three must be the Sect Leaders of the three great high-ranked Sects in Whitefloat City.

The five Element Gathering Realm experts took their seats on the high platform.

The Deputy City Lord scanned the entire hall, and seeing that most people had arrived, he waved his hand to indicate everyone to be seated, and his hoarse voice echoed:

“Today, I have called you all here for the triennial Monster-Hunting Assembly. As before, Elder Lu Shanyue of Liuyun Sect will preside over the event.”

Elder Lu Shanyue of Liuyun Sect stood up and said:

“I am Elder Lu Shanyue of Liuyun Sect, and I believe most of the people here recognize me, so I won’t waste time with pleasantries.”

“This Monster-Hunting Assembly coincides with the once-a-decade grand event at County King City. Consequently, the City Lord’s Mansion will nominate the best-performing Sect or noble family to attend the grand event in County King City.”

“Besides, the other rules remain unchanged.”

“Starting tomorrow, we will undertake a month-long campaign of monster slaying. Points will be awarded based on the number and grade of monsters slain, and the top-ranked force will be nominated.”

“Furthermore, both the Deputy City Lord and I will provide additional rewards to the top three ranks, including but not limited to Lower Grade Consolidating Origin Pills, Second-Grade Spells, and Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts; the specific amounts will depend on the circumstances.”

Hearing this, everyone present showed excitement on their faces.

Although the top ranks of the past Monster-Hunting Assemblies were usually dominated by the three high-ranked Sects, there were exceptional cases of middle-rank Sects making it into the top three.

For the sake of the rewards, the Sect Leaders decided to immediately prepare upon returning and set out with their disciples to slay monsters the very next day.

“In addition, I, the City Lord, solemnly declare that the monster slaying campaign targets only those harmful monsters. Should anyone dare to harm any spiritual beasts that often help the common people, do not blame the City Lord’s Mansion for severe punishment!”

The Deputy City Lord used the power of his cultivation to issue a deafening proclamation that even made the faces of the three high-ranked Sect Leaders change.

Afterward, Elder Lu Shanyue of Liuyun Sect reiterated a dozen more rules, and only then did everyone disperse.

“Sect Master Ye, please wait a moment!”

The Deputy City Lord called out to Ye Feng.

“Does the Deputy City Lord have any additional instructions?” asked Ye Feng.

The Deputy City Lord pointed at the three high-ranked Sect Leaders and introduced, “These three are the Sect Leaders of Tyrant Blade Sect, Feathers Sect, and Nishang Palace. Sect Master Ye could benefit from seeking their advice.”

“Greetings to the three Sect Leaders!”

Ye Feng greeted the three Sect Leaders.

The Tyrant Blade Sect Leader was a middle-aged man standing at two meters and thirty centimeters tall, with long flowing hair, wearing only a pair of spacious knee-length pants, revealing a body full of bulging muscles like a walking titan, and carrying a two-meter-long heavy blade on his back. He looked very intimidating.

The Sect Leader of Feathers Sect was an old man with a smile on his face, wearing a white robe, and appearing quite approachable.

As for the Palace Master of Nishang Palace, she was a middle-aged woman with peach-like cheeks exuding a charming allure. When she looked at Ye Feng, she couldn’t help but lick her lips and said:

“What a handsome Sect Master Ye. When you have time, you should come to Nishang Palace in the west of the city to discuss deeply the path of cultivation with me!”

After saying this, the Nishang Palace Master winked.

Ye Feng opened his mouth, not sure what to say.

In that moment, he felt the Nishang Palace Master was the most dangerous of the three Sect Leaders.

So, Ye Feng responded with a few casual remarks, then bid farewell to the Deputy City Lord and the three Elders, and left the hall with Xin Guangxuan.

“Sect Master Ye’s gaze towards me was a bit off,” said the Tyrant Blade Sect Leader with arms crossed and a deep voice.

“Perhaps he thinks you look like a giant mountain gorilla and got scared,” the Nishang Palace Master said with a playful laugh.

“Nonsense!”

The Tyrant Blade Sect Leader stomped the ground, shaking the entire hall three times, but the Nishang Palace Master had already fluttered her sleeves and flew out the door gracefully.
