The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Offering Apologies, Descent of the Heavenly Emperor, Incarnation of the Quasi-Saint

“What’s going on here?”

“Eh, isn’t this the Xu Mei Ancestor’s leading disciple? It is said that it took him only a thousand years to make a breakthrough to the first level of the Void Break Realm, which marks him as quite the prodigy. Why is he behaving in such a manner?”

“Look, isn’t that couple the son and daughter of Ancestor Wusheng and Ancestor Cuitian? Why are they also dressed like this?”

Many guests at the scene came from the Jiaoyang Holy City and recognized this group of Void Break Realm elders carrying thorny branches on their backs.

“Is this… carrying thorns to ask for forgiveness?”

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.

Carrying thorns to ask for forgiveness?

“What a good phrase!” When this idiom from Huaxia was uttered, everyone’s eyes lit up, feeling that Ye Feng had put it very well.

“Are you disciples or descendants of Xu Mei Ancestor, Ancestor Wusheng, and Ancestor Cuitian?” Ye Feng stared at the group of Void Break Realm elders carrying thorns to ask for forgiveness, probing.

“Yes.”

“Our ancestors were misled by the crafty Ancestor Linghui and offended Sect Master Ye, but their offenses are not worthy of death, we beg Sect Master Ye to spare them.”

“Sect Master Ye, the attack on your Sect was orchestrated solely by Ancestor Linghui; our ancestors merely followed along. According to the records on the Shadow Recording Stone, our ancestors didn’t do anything!”

The group of Void Break Realm elders kowtowed one after another, hoping Ye Feng would release them.

“So, you wish to redeem them,” Ye Feng said with a cold laugh, instantly making the atmosphere turn icy and bone-chilling.

With his Flesh Body Strength hugely augmented, Ye Feng’s mere gestures could cause the void to distort violently, and his every breath could leave faint black marks in the space.

With just a slightly heavier breath, he could shatter the void.

Such strength truly made the people present feel as if they were facing an endless abyss—a terrifying pressure indeed.

“Hahaha!”

“Sect Master Ye, I have come uninvited, I hope you won’t mind!”

“Sect Master Ye, to forgive when one can is a virtue. The offenses of Xu Mei Ancestor, Ancestor Wusheng, and Ancestor Cuitian are not deserving of death. If possible, we are willing to offer a hefty ransom to redeem them.”

At that moment, the firmament was torn apart by three pairs of arms.

A hearty voice wafted down gradually.

Following that.

Three figures in different attires stepped out of the spatial fissure: a middle-aged man in a white robe, a short and stout old man with a yellow face, and a cold-faced middle-aged woman with two small horns on her head.

No sooner had the three appeared, they brought with them an intangible suppressing force.

They were all Heavenly Emperor-level Powerhouses at the peak of the Void Break Realm!

In the Jiaoyang Holy City, all three were surpassed only by the City Lord in terms of grand might and divine prowess.

Placed in the starry sky, they were figures who commanded respect.

“It’s the White Robe Heavenly Emperor, the Yellow Dragon Heavenly Emperor, the Divine Sea Dragon Empress!”

Ancestor Jinling, the ace commentator, recognized the identities of the three Heavenly Emperors and quickly whispered an explanation to Ye Feng.

“So, it’s the three Heavenly Emperors from the Jiaoyang Holy City. I’m afraid my modest Misty Sect’s Three-Star promotion celebration isn’t grand enough to warrant a special trip from you. It seems that you’re only here to plead on behalf of Xu Mei Ancestor, Ancestor Wusheng, and Ancestor Cuitian, right?”

Ye Feng sat in his seat, unmoving.

Even with the descent of the three great Heavenly Emperors, he felt no pressure and even believed that with one punch, the three Heavenly Emperors would be either dead or severely wounded.

“I sense an extremely terrifying Flesh Body Strength.”

“Incredible!”

“This lad is actually a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor, how horrifying!”

The three Heavenly Emperors used their Heavenly Eye to scrutinize Ye Feng, and although they could not discern much, they could feel his Vitality Power as vigorous as the starry sea of the universe, sending a shiver through their hearts.

Upon self-reflection, even if they joined forces, they probably couldn’t match Ye Feng.

With this in mind, the three of them lowered their stance even further.

“Sect Master Ye, Xu Mei Ancestor, Ancestor Wusheng, Ancestor Cuitian, these people are the high-end combat power of the Jiaoyang Holy City. In the future, they will be an important force against enemies from the starry sky. This time, they erred only because they were misled by Ancestor Linghui. Their wrongdoing doesn’t deserve death. Could you… spare their lives?” the White Robe Heavenly Emperor asked with folded hands.

His stance had already been humbled significantly.

Normally, such matters were beneath him to attend to, but the City Lord had sent a transmission, and he had to descend in true body form.

In fact.

If the ones in the wrong weren’t high-level individuals like Xu Mei Ancestor, Ancestor Wusheng, Ancestor Cuitian from the High Order Void Break Realm, they wouldn’t have bothered at all.

In the Jiaoyang Holy City, each high-level individual of the Void Break Realm is critically important, with each one holding the potential to grow into a Heavenly Emperor.

And once one becomes a Heavenly Emperor, they’re eligible to enter the eyes of the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint. If they can gain insights under his guidance, there’s hope of rising to the rank of Quasi-Saint and becoming a core figure of the Jiaoyang Holy Land.

Therefore, every high-level individual of the Void Break Realm is of great significance.

“Indeed, their crimes do not warrant death.”

Ye Feng nodded, agreeing with the words of the White Robe Heavenly Emperor.

When Ancestor Linghui and his entourage came to kill, Xu Mei Ancestor and the others didn’t even get a chance to utter a single line of dialogue, nor lift a finger before they were suppressed by Ye Feng.

One could say, they were nothing more than bystanders throughout the whole process.

However, since they had come along with Ancestor Linghui, even if they did nothing, they were guilty.

Ye Feng would not let them off lightly.

“One supreme grade spiritual treasure for each life.”

After musing for a moment, Ye Feng named his price.

As long as the White Robe Heavenly Emperor and the others could afford the supreme grade spiritual treasures, Ye Feng would surely release the captives.

Of course, Ancestor Linghui could not be released.

This man must die!

“One supreme grade spiritual treasure per person? That’s quite a lion’s mouth you’ve opened!”

Everyone was shocked.

The White Robe Heavenly Emperor, Yellow Dragon Heavenly Emperor, Divine Sea Dragon Empress also widened their eyes, almost cursing aloud.

“If I had a supreme grade spiritual treasure, I would hardly bother using it to exchange for those few people!” the Divine Sea Dragon Empress muttered under her breath.

“I feel the same,” the Yellow Dragon Heavenly Emperor agreed, nodding to the words of the Divine Sea Dragon Empress. @@novelbin@@

“But these are the orders from the City Lord, if we cannot fulfill them, we will certainly be punished upon our return… Not to mention punishment, at the very least we’ll be severely scolded.”

The White Robe Heavenly Emperor felt helpless.

“What, you don’t agree?”

Ye Feng looked at the three Heavenly Emperors, his lips curling slightly upward, “If you don’t agree, then go back the way you came.”

Upon hearing this, the guests present couldn’t help but take in a breath of cold air.

Those were three Heavenly Emperors!

And only Ye Feng could talk to them like this.

The three Heavenly Emperors fell silent.

They certainly had supreme grade spiritual treasures in their possession, but it was impossible for them to trade them for Xu Mei Ancestor and the others.

For a time, the Sect Main Plaza fell into silence.

The spectators sat in their seats, unsure whether to leave or stay. They simply picked up their bowls and chopsticks and continued to eat and drink, watching intently and enjoying their meal.

Whoosh!

Just then, a breeze stirred within the Misty Sect.

Water flowed from above the Spirit Lake, and in mid-air, it outlined the figure of a towering man.

He walked towards the Sect Main Plaza.

In the astonished gazes of those present, the figure gradually became solid and clear, as if stepping out from a black-and-white painting, transforming from a figure in a painting to a living creature.

This man was clad in a glazed glass-colored long robe, with his hands clasped behind his back, his long hair fastened with a jade crown—giving off an air of gentleness and scholarly elegance.

He was in the prime of his life, full of vigor.

A detached and transcendent aura slowly radiated from him, as if separating himself from the entire world, not resembling a mortal.

“We pay our respects to the City Lord!”

The three Heavenly Emperors each bowed and performed salutations with their hands clasped.

“The City Lord? Hiss! Is he… the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City, a genuine Incarnation of the Quasi-Saint?!”

“We’ve seen the Quasi-Saint, sir!”

The cultivators from Jiaoyang Holy City, frightened, fell from their seats onto the ground, hurriedly adjusting their clothes before bowing in respect.

“We pay our respects to the City Lord!”

Ancestor Jinling and Ancestor Lingmiao also didn’t dare to keep their seats, standing up to pay their respects.

Only Ye Feng remained sitting in his seat.

“An Incarnation of the Quasi-Saint!”

Ye Feng observed the newcomer, speaking slowly.
