The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Anomaly in the Demon-locking Tower, the Powerful Earth Demon
“Throughout the Southern River Basin, including County King City, there seem to be only a few Two-Star Rank forces, and each of them is highly exalted. How could they possibly care about a mere Soul Capture True Man?”

“Besides, Soul Capture True Man isn’t foolish, he knows not to provoke the Two-Star Rank forces, so he has always been steady as an old dog.”

“Otherwise, Divine Wind Sword Sect could just send an Inner Sect Elder, who would be able to exterminate Soul Capture True Man with a single sword strike.”

Mo Ying stated the reasons all at once.

Hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly realized.

“That said, what are these people doing here so late at night?”

Ye Feng kept his distance from the procession of Divine Wind Sword Sect, not approaching but always maintaining a few hundred meters of separation.

Not far away, an Outer Sect Elder of Divine Wind Sword Sect glanced at Ye Feng’s party, failing to sense any of Ye Feng’s aura. Knowing only that Mo Ying and Yan Ruyu were merely at the Qi Refining Realm, he looked away without further interest.

“Elder Yue, the task we have tonight is somewhat special, should we drive those few people away?” a Horse-face Disciple standing behind the elder asked.

“A few at Qi Refining Realm, what of it? Hurry up and increase the speed; we must get to Ancient Town of Quicksand as soon as possible. This elder has a premonition that the Earth Demon is about to be born; we must reach it before it fully takes shape.”

“Yes!”

Suddenly, the speed of the Spirit Boat increased by fifty percent, flying straight towards the Ancient Town of Quicksand; before long, Ye Feng and his two companions had been left several miles behind.

Behind them, Mo Ying frowned slightly and said, “Sect Leader, it seems they are also heading to the Ancient Town of Quicksand, the same direction as us.”

“What a coincidence.” Ye Feng whispered.

He had packed many delicious things in Sanyuan City, so he had planned to share some with Huo Yunjie when passing through Ancient Town of Quicksand. He had not expected that an Outer Sect Elder of Divine Wind Sword Sect seemed to be heading there as well.

Now, in the Ancient Town of Quicksand.

Huo Yunjie, bending over, stared at a wooden log hanging from a tree. Suddenly drawing his sword, he carved an inch-deep mark into the wood and then sheathed it in an instant, performing the action in one fluid motion, which looked extremely dashing.

“Aren’t you asleep yet?”

Baixue Ding approached with a bowl of tea in hand and asked with concern.

Since experiencing the life-or-death battle the night before, whenever Baixue Ding looked at Huo Yunjie’s handsome profile, she felt her cheeks growing warm.

“Not yet. You go sleep first; I’ll continue to practice my sword.” Huo Yunjie said, focusing on his target, ready to continue drawing and sheathing his sword.

Although he had grasped the concept of the Sword Drawing Technique, he was still determined to solidify his fundamentals, such as accuracy in swinging the sword and controlling its force. Afterward, he planned to reconcentrate his spiritual power and unleash an unparalleled sword radiance.

“By the way, has anyone come to repair the Demon-locking Tower?” Huo Yunjie asked curiously in passing.

Baixue Ding tiptoed to get a better view towards the Demon-locking Tower and said, “Not for the time being, but I guess someone will come to fix it soon!”

Neither of them knew that at this very moment, beneath the ruins of the Demon-locking Tower, a luminous formation was actively devouring the remnants of the demonic beasts’ souls and bloodline forces that had been suppressed here over the years. It was rapidly coalescing into a humanoid phantom under the cover of night.

Thump!

The sound of a heart beating like muted thunder suddenly erupted, instantly spreading throughout the entire Ancient Town of Quicksand and instilling an inexplicable fear in everyone, including Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding, as if they were witnessing the emergence of a terrifying Great Demon.

“What’s going on?” Baixue Ding’s breathing quickened instantly.

Huo Yunjie, looking towards the Demon-locking Tower, saw something that caused his pupils to dilate: “Quick, look, what is that?”

Not just Baixue Ding and Huo Yunjie, but all the inhabitants of Ancient Town of Quicksand opened their windows and gazed towards the direction of the Demon-locking Tower.

In the sky above, they saw a ten-meter-tall humanoid creature, constantly absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, with a tail about five meters long trailing behind. It was enveloped in radiance, which was gradually compressing and making its shape more solid.

Above Flowing Water River.

Elder Yue of Divine Wind Sword Sect, witnessing what was happening over the Ancient Town of Quicksand, halted his breath and roared, “No good! The Earth Demon has already emerged. I’ll go ahead, you all proceed at full speed!”

With that, Elder Yue flew towards the Demon-locking Tower at his fastest speed.

Further behind, Ye Feng also saw the Earth Demon as it continued to compress itself, his eyes revealing a grave expression.

“Sect Leader, that is a creature comparable to the Element Gathering Realm’s Third Layer; with our current strength, we are no match for it.” Mo Ying said gravely, her sword trembling slightly as if in fear.

“Element Gathering Realm’s Third Layer?” Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, “Well, that’s manageable; we can barely handle it.”

Even though the combined strength might be equivalent to the Third Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, Ye Feng dared not be too confident in his claim.

“What?” Mo Ying was dumbfounded.

The Third Layer of the Element Gathering Realm was manageable?

Seeing Mo Ying’s unease, Ye Feng smiled and said, “During this time, the Sect Leader has increased in strength quite a bit. Even if we can’t defeat one at the Third Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, we can still ensure our own safety. Plus, Yun Jie is there. Even if there’s danger, we have to rescue him!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Ying nodded.

Because the Spirit Boat carrying the three of them was quite far from the Ancient Town of Quicksand, even though they had increased their speed, they still couldn’t arrive immediately.

Meanwhile, in the sky above the Ancient Town of Quicksand.

“Heeheehee… I, the demon, am finally born!”

The Earth Demon, radiating light, had already been compressed to two meters in height, and its tail was only a little over a meter long. It swung behind it, producing a shrill swooshing sound as if it were a sword capable of slicing through the void.

The Earth Demon leapt into the air, releasing a terrifying oppressive force like a storm sweeping through, blowing the ruins of the Demon-locking Tower into the sky, and raining down on the Ancient Town of Quicksand like numerous meteors.

Boom!

Hundreds of houses were shattered, and many people were injured.

“Run for your lives!”

The townsfolk wept and shrieked as they ran for their lives, thrown into disarray.

Huo Yunjie watched the Earth Demon ascend, finding himself immobilized by its momentum, unable to even draw his sword.

Baixue Ding was even worse off, her entire body chilled to the bone and her lips trembling uncontrollably.

“Die!”

The Earth Demon suddenly let out a cold voice and, with a wave of its hand, unleashed a beam of light that destroyed an entire street, costing countless innocent lives.

“Devil spawn, how dare you!”

Just as everyone was in despair, Elder Yue of the Outer Sect of the Divine Wind Sword Sect finally arrived. Forming seals with his hands, he transformed his robust True Yuan into a golden fist shining with light, carrying the weight of ten thousand jun, and it crashed down with a vengeance.

“A mere Element Gathering Realm Two-Star dares to act so presumptuously!”

The Earth Demon sneered. With a flicker of its form, it dodged the assault and, with a flick of its finger, shattered the giant fist. Then, it flew towards the grave-faced Elder Yue and swept its claws fiercely towards him.

Rip!

Elder Yue was sent flying, discovering three claw marks on his chest, deep enough to see bone. Had it not been for the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact soft armor blocking, he might have been reduced to pieces at that moment.

“What terrifying strength, twice as strong as other demons from the Demon-locking Tower. What on earth is going on?” Elder Yue breathed heavily, deeply shaken, and quickly widened the gap between them.

“Divine Wind Sword Shield, condense!”

Fortunately, Elder Yue had abundant combat experience. He played defense as offense, invoking a Middle Grade level Spirit Sword which floated above his head, unfolding several layers of sword shields to protect himself thoroughly.

As an Outer Sect Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect, Elder Yue also qualified to practice the Auxiliary Cultivation Methods of the sect. He was already quite powerful; otherwise, he would not have dared to engage an Earth Demon of the Element Gathering Realm Three-Star with his Two-Star cultivation level.

“Die!”

The Earth Demon roared and, with a sudden surge, appeared right in front of Elder Yue, claws slashing down with force.

Boom!

The terrifying momentum burst forth, and Elder Yue felt the Divine Wind Sword Shield vibrate uncontrollably before it exploded into pieces, no match for the Earth Demon.

“It’s over!”

Elder Yue’s face filled with horror, having not anticipated that the Earth Demon would be so strong, almost nearing the Element Gathering Realm Fourth-Layer.

Boom!

Suddenly, the Earth Demon spat out a dazzling ray of light from its mouth, and Elder Yue quickly swung his sword to block it, but he was still pierced through the chest, his body went limp, like a meteor falling toward the ground.

“Elder Yue!” The disciples of the Divine Wind Sword Sect aboard the Spirit Boat had their eyes split with rage. The disciple who reacted the fastest immediately bellowed, “Quick, deploy the Eight-Element Demon-slaying Sword Formation!”

No sooner had his words fallen than eight Divine Wind Sword Sect disciples each took out a Formation Flag, inserting Middle Grade Spirit Stones into the base of the flags, activating them all at once.

A dazzling surge of sword light suddenly blossomed!

On the ground, Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding found the sight extremely dazzling, and they felt an incredibly sharp Sword Qi.

This was a powerful Killing Array!

“We have hope now!” Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding felt a relief wash over their hearts.

“The Immortal Master is mighty!” other survivors shouted, boosting morale.

What they didn’t know was that the eight disciples wielding the sword formation had grave expressions and pale lips, as if the exertion had taken a huge toll on them.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng was still on his way in a Spirit Boat!
