Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Change of Weather_1
The whole place was deadly silent!
Everyone felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of ice water, their thoughts evaporating as they stared blankly at the corpse of Zhang Shunlong, sprawled like a dead dog, and the upright figure of Ye Fei.
A senior elder of the Divine Wanderer Palace, a third-stage powerhouse, had just been killed?
No one could keep their composure, not even Wang Yifeng, whose eyes betrayed a sense of despair.
He had thought that after returning, he would diligently cultivate and with the wealth of resources he had, surpassing Ye Fei wouldn’t be difficult.
But having seen how Ye Fei easily crushed Zhang Shunlong, he didn’t even dare to entertain the thought.
Not even the Sect Master of the Xuan Yuan Sect could be sure to accomplish this feat!
With a wry smile, Wang Yifeng once again bowed towards Ye Fei.
"Master Ye, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave first," he said.
"Wait."
Ye Fei raised his hand and said, then turned to look at Qian Wenhong’s grandson, Qian Mingjie, who was shivering behind him.
Feeling Ye Fei’s gaze, Qian Mingjie’s legs gave way and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.
He shifted his body incessantly until he reached the front of the stage and clung to Ye Fei’s feet, pleading,
"Master Ye, Master Ye, I was wrong, please spare me..."
"I was blinded, I am nothing, please, I beg you, spare my pathetic life..."
Qian Mingjie begged desperately, realizing that his grandfather could no longer protect him.
Even Qian Wenhong’s eyes flashed with a hint of mercy as he swiftly stepped forward, bowing with his fists clasped, his voice trembling as if he were a quail,
"Mr. Ye, although my grandson is worthless, he has realized his mistake. Please spare him... If it really isn’t possible, I am willing to be punished in his stead. Please show leniency, Mr. Ye."
"Elder Qian, do you remember what I said before?"
Ye Fei’s indifferent voice reached the ear, and Qian Wenhong suddenly looked up, his face ashen!
Swish!
Ye Fei struck down with a palm, landing on the top of Qian Mingjie’s head.
Qian Mingjie felt as if he had been crushed by a building, his internal organs shattered, and he lost his vitality in an instant.
He could no longer support his body and slumped down.
Ye Fei dusted off his hands and slowly said, "I’ve left you with a whole corpse."
Qian Wenhong felt a deep sorrow, yet he couldn’t muster even a thought of rebellion.
Ye Fei had already warned them, and yet his grandson had still...
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your mercy!"
Qian Wenhong said loudly as he bowed.
Ye Fei paid him no heed, glanced at Wang Yifeng and walked away.
Wang Yifeng was taken aback and hurriedly followed.
Leaving the others as quiet as cicadas in winter.
What exactly had happened today?
Divine Wanderer Palace’s Zhang Shunlong was killed, and even the grandson of Qian Wenhong could not be saved.
Now, hailed as a master, Wang Yifeng followed Ye Fei like a little brother.
"It seems the ancient martial arts world is going to change...’
"From now on, no one among the younger generation can restrain Ye Fei, and even the older generation will have to weigh their chances!"
"Henceforth, the ancient martial artists will probably regard Ye Fei with reverence."
...
Ye Fei strode out of the venue and encountered Wang Jianglong standing at the entrance, gaping in shock.
"Zhang Shunlong... and Qian Mingjie, they were both killed?"
"What’s the matter?"
Ye Fei looked at him and asked with a smile.
"Nothing," Wang Jianglong hastily shook his head, then glanced in confusion at Wang Yifeng, who was dragging his body and rushing over hurriedly.
"Is that...?"
Wang Jianglong had just arrived and didn’t recognize him.
"Master Wang?"
Luo Qiuyu was stunned and exclaimed.
"Wang Yifeng?"
Wang Jianglong was startled and then looked at Wang Yifeng with caution.
Could it be that he was here for revenge?
But then he saw Wang Yifeng rush to Ye Fei’s side, bow respectfully and say,
"Master Ye."
This scene left Wang Jianglong dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Ye Fei turned around and nodded slightly, "Mhm."
"I called you here for nothing much, just that I promised my daughter I would bring her a small gift. Now I am about to return to Qingyun Prefecture."
Upon hearing this, if Wang Yifeng still didn’t understand what it meant, he would be a fool.
He reached into his robe hastily, searching, and pulled out a brocade box.
"I happen to have a piece of beautiful jade here; I don’t know if Mr. Ye would fancy it," he said as he opened the brocade box to reveal a raw, uncarved but crystal clear piece of jade.
Luo Qiuyu and Wang Jianglong, both watching, were incredibly shocked!
This was undoubtedly a piece of Spirit Jade, but if Spirit Jade were graded, this raw jade would be of the highest quality!
Just the sheen and the intertwining of red and yellow, like dragons and phoenixes dancing, were extremely rare.
Ye Fei glanced at it indifferently, took it and stored it in his ring.
"I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, you can find me in Qingyun Prefecture."
"Not at all," Wang Yifeng laughed, waving his hand, "Master Ye should be the leader of our younger generation. In the future, I will no doubt seek guidance and sparring, so I’ll trouble you then."
"It’s no bother," Ye Fei smiled lightly, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be returning to Qingyun Prefecture."
"Master Ye,"
Wang Yifeng suddenly spoke up, hesitated for a moment, and then said,
"I might have offended you before; please forgive me, Mr. Ye. But today, Master Ye you have killed Zhang Shunlong and Qian Mingjie."
"Qian Mingjie might not be a concern, as the Ancient Martial Arts Association won’t cause much of a stir. However, the Divine Wanderer Palace operates independently and might target Master Ye,
should I issue a warning on behalf of the Xuan Yuan Sect once I return to the sect?"
Hearing this, Ye Fei shook his head disdainfully and said, "They are but a bunch of clowns. If they dare come, then kill them all."
Then, turning to Wang Jianglong, "Let’s go, we are heading back to Qingyun Prefecture."
