Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
Ye Feng said, then looked at Zi Yue: "Senior Sister Zi Yue, what do you want with me?"
Ziyue pointed down and said, "Junior Brother Ye, look over there."
Ye Feng immediately looked in the direction Zi Yue was pointing and saw a young man sitting on a platform below.
The young man sat on the ground, closing his eyes to rest, but a long sword hung beside him.
Moreover, the longsword emitted a pale blue light that swirled around it, seemingly containing a mysterious and profound aura.
“This person is He Qingguang, a true disciple of the Hunyuan Sect. He says he’s here to challenge you,” Ziyue asked.
Could it be that He Qingguang is related to Mu Yunzi and Liang Yingfeng?
As it turned out, Ye Feng's judgment was correct. Just as he thought of this, Luo Mengxuan said, "He Qingguang is the senior brother of Mu Yunzi and Liang Yingfeng. He came to challenge you because he definitely wants to kill you. Junior brother, you must be careful."
Night Breeze nodded and walked step by step toward He Qingguang.
Zi Yue then asked, "Senior Sister Luo, you just said that He Qingguang challenged Junior Brother Ye with the intention of killing him. Why is that?"
Luo Mengxuan replied, "I took Junior Brother Ye to our clan before, and we happened to run into Liang Yingfeng. Liang Yingfeng was like a leech, constantly pestering me. Junior Brother Ye couldn't stand it, so he had a little conflict with Liang Yingfeng."
"Then Liang Yingfeng issued a challenge to Junior Brother Ye. Junior Brother Ye was naturally not interested in fighting him, but Liang Yingfeng deliberately spread the news to put pressure on Junior Brother Ye in order to force him to fight. In the end, Junior Brother Ye was finally provoked and accepted Liang Yingfeng's challenge."
"Then, during the duel, Junior Brother Ye accidentally killed Liang Yingfeng."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yue's expression changed slightly.
Chang Qingyue said, "I've heard of Liang Yingfeng. He's a true disciple of the Hunyuan Sect. Although he's only at the peak of the True Yuan Realm, he can unleash strength comparable to a Divine Travel Realm martial artist at crucial moments. Junior Brother Ye is so powerful, how did he manage to kill Liang Yingfeng?"
“This is absolutely true; I saw it with my own eyes,” Luo Mengxuan said.
Ye Feng was now standing in front of He Qingguang, looking at him calmly.
"Are you He Qingguang, the senior brother of Mu Yunzi and Liang Yingfeng? Do you want to challenge me?" Ye Feng asked.
"That's right, you are Ye Feng?" He Qingguang slowly opened his eyes and looked Ye Feng up and down.
Night Breeze nodded and said, "Why do you challenge me? Give me a reason."
“My junior sisters and brothers all died at your hands, and you still don’t understand why I challenged you? What are you pretending to be confused about?” He Qingguang said coldly.
“Your junior brother Liang Yingfeng did indeed die at my hands, but your junior sister Mu Yunzi did not die at my hands,” Ye Feng said, shaking his head.
"Do you think I'd believe you?" He Qingguang sneered repeatedly.
Ye Feng said seriously, "Senior Brother He, your junior sister Mu Yunzi is a peak Divine Travel Realm martial artist, while I am only a peak True Essence Realm martial artist. How could I possibly kill her?"
“But my junior sister went to seek revenge on you, and she is indeed dead,” He Qingguang said.
Although He Qingguang did not see Mu Yunzi's body and did not know how Mu Yunzi died, he was fully aware of the fact that Mu Yunzi was dead.
Because true disciples in the Hunyuan Sect all have life tablets, and when a person dies, the tablet breaks, He Qingguang naturally knew that Mu Yunzi's name tablet had shattered and she had perished.
Before leaving, Mu Yunzi said she would go to Ye Feng to avenge Liang Yingfeng. Mu Yunzi died a few days after leaving, so He Qingguang naturally blamed Ye Feng for it.
Night Wind sighed and said, "Your junior sister died at the hands of the Yellow Stone Demon."
"The Yellowstone Demon?" He Qingguang frowned deeply.
Ye Feng explained, "That's right. On our way back to the Xuanji Sect, Senior Sister Luo and I encountered Mu Yunzi blocking our path. We fought with Mu Yunzi for three days, but she couldn't defeat us. Of course, Senior Sister Luo and I were indeed forced into a very sorry state by Mu Yunzi."
"It was quite a coincidence that the commotion caused by my fight with Senior Sister Luo and Mu Yunzi alerted the Yellow Stone Demon who had disappeared and gone into hiding fifty years ago. As a result, the Yellow Stone Demon killed Mu Yunzi, while Senior Sister Luo and I took advantage of the opportunity to escape."
Hearing this, He Qingguang sneered: "Even if my junior sister Mu Yunzi didn't die at your hands, she still died because of you. Ye Feng, you still have to take responsibility for this!"
Luo Mengxuan couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "He Qingguang, you are shameless! Huangshi Demon killed your junior sister, and you don't dare to seek revenge on Huangshi Demon, but you come to challenge my junior brother. You just think my junior brother is a soft persimmon that is easy to bully, right!"
"Enough with the nonsense, Night Wind. All you need to do now is answer me: do you dare to accept my challenge?" He Qingguang suddenly stood up, grabbed the hilt of his sword, and pointed the blade at Night Wind.
Before Ye Feng could say anything, Chang Qingyue said, "Junior Brother Ye, don't be impulsive. He Qingguang is at the peak of the Divine Travel Realm and has already touched the threshold of the Transcendent Realm. He could take that final step and become a martial arts master of the Transcendent Realm at any time!"
Upon hearing Chang Qingyue's words, all the Xuanji Sect disciples gathered here looked at He Qingguang with shock.
He Qingguang replied, "Of course I won't bully you by relying on my strength and cultivation level. I can use the suppression ring to suppress my cultivation level!"
As he spoke, He Qingguang took out a metal ring.
The moment the gleaming silver ring was placed on He Qingguang's wrist, his aura suddenly plummeted.
He Qingguang just now was like a long sword with its sharp edge fully exposed, and the aura emanating from his body made people feel a stinging sensation on their skin.
But now, the aura emanating from He Qingguang has become much gentler.
“I’ve already limited my strength to the True Essence Realm. At most, I can only unleash strength equivalent to the peak of the True Essence Realm. Night Wind, are you satisfied now?” He Qingguang said.
“Since Senior Brother He is willing to go to such lengths to avenge Mu Yunzi and Liang Yingfeng, then of course I will not back down. Senior Brother He, please!” Ye Feng said, gesturing for him to proceed.
He Qingguang took a step and was in the air, while Ye Feng also stepped on the air and climbed up the steps.
Seeing Ye Feng and He Qingguang standing in the air looking at each other from afar, the Xuanji Sect disciples on the scene all showed tense and worried expressions.
"Make your move, Night Wind!" He Qingguang said.
“You should make the first move. Senior Brother He, you have already shown your strength and made a concession by suppressing your realm. How can I make the first move?” Ye Feng said.
“Just make your move when I tell you to! Stop with the nonsense! Night Wind, do you think I consider you an opponent? I haven’t taken you seriously from beginning to end!” He Qingguang said arrogantly.
"Alright, you said it, Senior Brother He, don't regret it."
As Ye Feng spoke, he summoned the Zhou Xing Sword, and a vast expanse of starry sky suddenly appeared around him.
