The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal-Chapter 1037 - : The Token, The Wrath of the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor

Chapter 1037 -1037: The Token, The Wrath of the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor

Watching Sword Saint Yue Xi's concerned expression, Ye Feng rolled his eyes, finding her somewhat adorable.

She claimed she didn't have a crush on Jian Nan Yi.

Yet her words and actions distinctly resembled those of someone who's been separated from a secret crush for many years, and suddenly hears news about them, revealing both excitement and hesitance.

Ye Feng referred to this behavior as:

The feigned reserve of a girl harboring springtime affections.

"If you want to know about Jian Nan Yi, that's fine, but first tell me, would you harm him? And, do you really like him?" Ye Feng asked with a meaningful smile.

Putting down her longsword, Sword Saint Yue Xi said,

"I'm from the same Nantian Sword Sect as he is; why would I harm him? And I like... why do you ask this question?"

Her eyes widened as she spoke the last part.

Ye Feng chuckled inwardly, thinking that Sword Saint Yue Xi did indeed seem somewhat naive when it came to emotions, and then he spoke seriously,

"He's dead, with only his Sword Soul remaining."

Hearing this, Sword Saint Yue Xi trembled violently as if struck by lightning.

Although she had known about Jian Nan Yi's fall ten thousand years ago, she was still unwilling to accept it. It wasn't until she heard Ye Feng's words that Sword Saint Yue Xi could no longer contain the sorrow in her heart, and she felt a sting in her nose.

The atmosphere on the scene became heavy and oppressive.

After a long while, Sword Saint Yue Xi asked again, "You said before that only his Sword Soul remains? So, what is the condition of his Sword Soul?"

Ye Feng didn't hide anything and honestly replied,

"His Sword Soul has all of his memories and emotions, and he's in a decent state. However, he's trapped in some mysterious distant place and can't get out."

Sword Saint Yue Xi urgently said, "Take me there!"

Ye Feng hesitated, then responded,

"I don't know what relationship you have with Jian Nan Yi. I can't decide whether you should go see him. How about this, once I'm done with my tasks, I'll ask him and see if he wants to meet you."

Sword Saint Yue Xi nodded, "Okay!"

With that, she extended her hand.

Suddenly, the void cracked open, and a crescent moon-shaped jade pendant floated out and landed in front of Ye Feng.

"When you ask him, give him this... thanks!"

Sword Saint Yue Xi's incarnation prepared to leave but then seemed to remember something and added, "Be wary, the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor from Tianzhou is a distant cousin of the Wind-Fire Holy Emperor. You've annihilated the Wind-Fire Holy Sect, so be careful."

Ye Feng nodded, "Thank you for informing me, senior."

Sword Saint Yue Xi had mentioned this out of goodwill, and Ye Feng certainly wasn't going to be ungrateful, so he immediately expressed his thanks.

"Thank you!"

Sword Saint Yue Xi thanked him again and finally left.

On the mountain peak.

Only Ye Feng remained.

He held the jade pendant, examining it for a moment before putting it away and looking towards where the Wind-Fire Holy Sect was located.

At the time, Long Tianxing and Qiao Jiaxi were continuously cleaning up the battlefield, collecting useful items, discarding useless ones onto the ground, and Wang Ping'an then used the Fire Spirit to incinerate them.

...

Nantian Sword Sect.

Sword Saint Yue Xi's real body opened her eyes, full of anticipation and hesitation.

"If only time could be reversed, how wonderful that would be!"

"If that were the case, I definitely would have taken the initiative to guide him personally, using my position as Great Elder of the sect to get close to him, to talk to him, rather than just watching him practice his sword."

Sword Saint Yue Xi sighed helplessly.

She truly had a secret crush on Jian Nan Yi; it wasn't a whimsical fancy but a resolve born from years of observation.

She too had grown up all alone.

It was the Nantian Sword Emperor who raised her and nurtured her to become the second Supreme Saint of the Nantian Sword Sect and a peak powerhouse among the top hundred in the Power God Ranking.

However, Sword Saint Yue Xi was too devoted to her practice.

From a young age, she never had someone she liked, same as Jian Nan Yi, with only the sword in her heart.

In her view, men were a distraction from drawing her sword.

But once she achieved her fame and success, she met Jian Nan Yi and saw him as a male version of herself. She secretly watched him practice and was gradually attracted by his diligent efforts.

Yet, Sword Saint Yue Xi knew the gap between their statuses was too great and didn't dare to reveal her feelings.

Until one day.

The news came that Jian Nan Yi and many of the sect's Saint Realm Elders had died after breaching a Secret Realm, causing a pang in Sword Saint Yue Xi's heart.

From that moment on, she realized she liked Jian Nan Yi.

It was just too late...

He was gone!

She would never see that figure practicing swordsmanship ever again.

In her heart, naturally, there was profound sorrow.

Now, upon hearing that the Sword Soul with all of Jian Nan Yi's memories was still around, Sword Saint Yuexi seemed to have grasped the last strand of hope.

"I hope he's willing to see me!"

Sword Saint Yuexi retracted her thoughts and sighed deeply.

The news of the Wind-Fire Holy Sect's downfall kept spreading.

Not only did cultivators in Dizhou know about it, but others in the Great Thousand World gradually learned of this shocking news.

Tianzhou.

Holy Spirit Sect.

"Ye Feng killed the Wind-Fire Holy Emperor, the Sect Master of the Wind-Fire Holy Sect? This guy, he has grown to such an extent?"

Upon hearing the news, Saintess Ning Yu couldn't stay put.

"Yo, hearing about your admirer's news, you're unsettled," teased Holy Son Lin Kun, who was sitting by her side.

"Shut up!" Ning Yu's face flushed with embarrassment, "How many times have I said that I merely admire and respect Ye Feng, not that kind of liking between a man and a woman, got it?"

"You're right!" Lin Kun nodded.

Listening to this, Ning Yu got so angry that she reached out, grabbed the flesh under Lin Kun's arm, pinched it hard, and then twisted fiercely.

"Hiss!"

Lin Kun immediately took a sharp breath from the pain.

...

Dongzhou, Tianhe Divine Sect.

Chu Tianhe, Wen Xue, and Wen Yue heard the explosive news from Dizhou, feeling happy yet worried.

"Brother Ye is taking on the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect now!"

"Is he not afraid of being hunted down by all the major Sects?"

"Uh… It seems Brother Ye really isn't afraid!"

The three of them conversed.

They dared not seek out Ye Feng for fear of exposing both sides, and for safety reasons, they had to stay put in Dongzhou.

Dongzhou, Yuanwu Divine Nation.

Dongzhou, Boundless Holy Sect.

Yuan Jing and Jian Chen heard the news one after another, their eyes, which seemed to harbor the Sun, snapped open and looked towards the direction of Dizhou, revealing a look of surprise on their faces.

"Killed the Wind-Fire Holy Emperor?"

"This guy is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Now, if I were to fight him one-on-one, without resorting to my last resort, I'm afraid even I would have difficulty defeating him."

Yuan Jing and Jian Chen thought of many things.

For Ye Feng, whose strength was increasing rapidly, both expressed surprise and admiration, contemplating when to spar with Ye Feng again.

Tianzhou.

Devouring Heaven Demon Sect.

The annihilation of the Wind-Fire Holy Sect had long been spread within the Sect, causing countless disciples, stewards, and elders to be enraged.

"Damn Ye Feng!"

"This man, he is simply declaring war on us!"

"Declaring war? Bah! Ye Feng isn't worthy!"

"If I don't kill this man, I'll never be at peace!"

The people of the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect were very angry.

Crack!

Just then, the doors of the long-sealed Sect Master's Grand Hall of the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect slowly opened, and a human-shaped stone sculpture floated out, exuding terrifying demonic might.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color.

Even some Heavenly Saint Level powerhouses had a sudden change in their facial expressions, quickly kneeling on the ground, full of fear in their hearts.

"Who is it that killed my nephew?"

From within the stone sculpture, an extremely cold question emerged, silencing everyone present.

"Reporting to the Demon Emperor, it was Ye Feng!"

The Grand Elder of the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect stepped forward and answered softly, despite being of the Supreme Saint Realm, he felt like an ant in front of the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor.

He knew that the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor's cultivation level had improved once more.

"Ye Feng?"

The Divine Sense of the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor swept the surroundings, catching up on the information he had missed while in closed-door cultivation, and he quickly understood the ins and outs, and he started laughing coldly.

"Quite a character, Ye Feng!"

"This person must have received the inheritance of the Tyrant Emperor, deliberately causing trouble in various realms, in an attempt to seek revenge for the Tyrant Emperor."

"Heh! Naïve! Foolish!"

The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor began to chuckle derisively.
