The battle ended so quickly that no one had time to react. The body of the demon in the Black Faced Transformation gradually fell from the air...
With a loud thud, the massive blood-red bat widened its eyes, seemingly unwilling to believe this fact. The air was thick with the scent of death, and the Weilian Shattered Immortal Spear returned to Ye Feng's hand without a trace of blood!
Silently observing the ugly corpse before him, it was indeed thanks to Qianjizi having exhausted most of his energy that Ye Feng was able to eliminate this foe so Thunderously.
Even so, such a method was still astonishing. The shock evident on Qianjizi's face was beyond words. He found it even harder to comprehend what this young man had experienced in the Underground Palace that made him so extraordinary!
Meanwhile, Liao Fang and the others, who had long retreated and felt hopeless, seemed completely immersed in a dream. Just moments ago, they faced the despair of being devoured, and in the next second, hope had returned, making them question whether this was all just a dream!
Yet Ye Feng's figure was so real, and his voice so genuine!
"Who is this guy? He's too strong!" Wang Wei murmured, his face pale.
Liao Fan looked troubled as he gazed at this teenager who could not be more than a few years older than himself, unable to fathom how someone could be so monstrous!
Only Liao Fang had a glimmer of excitement in his eyes, as if pondering something unfathomable.
As the center of attention, Ye Feng turned around nonchalantly and approached Qianjizi, asking with concern, "Senior, can you get up by yourself?"
During the previous battle, Qianjizi had been severely drained and finally collapsed onto the ground. However, at this moment, the Hall Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect stood up excitedly and grasped Ye Feng's hand, trembling uncontrollably!
Ye Feng smiled knowingly, understanding his astonishment. However, this was not a suitable place for explanations. He gave Qianjizi a glance before shifting his focus to Wang Wei and the others; they didn't seem like fellow disciples...
Despite their disbelief in what was happening before them, Qianjizi managed to digest Ye Feng's powerful transformation and briefly explained Liao Fan and the others' identities and why they were there.
Ye Feng nodded in understanding and said to Wang Wei and the others, "If you still have strength left, stay close to me when we leave. This place is not safe for us to linger!"
Wang Wei and the others could only nod blankly; none of them could find their voices...
At this moment, Qianjizi lowered his voice and whispered something in Ye Feng's ear, causing his expression to change slightly. However, he quickly regained his composure and said softly, "Shishu, let's not discuss this for now. Once we return to the Sect, I hope you can keep everything you've seen here a secret!"
Qianjizi was momentarily taken aback, seemingly not understanding why Ye Feng wanted to do this. Given his current realm and the fact that he had saved both him and Zhu Feng, he would undoubtedly receive special attention from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect upon their return. With his current strength, he could easily be promoted directly into the core ranks of the Inner Sect!
However, Ye Feng had his own plans. With so many changes happening in such a short time, it was bound to attract more suspicion and confusion. If he wanted to continue cultivating peacefully within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, keeping his secrets was essential, and he needed Qianjizi and Zhu Feng to cooperate with him.
"Kid, it's such a waste to keep you buried in the Outer Sect. If you truly trust the Old Man, listen to me. I will recommend you to the Sect Master for entry into the core hall of the Inner Sect. There, you can continue to grow stronger!"
Regardless of the circumstances, Ye Feng's transformation was a rare blessing for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and he naturally wanted to win over this young genius.
Yet Ye Feng shook his head and replied, "Shishu, there are still many things I haven't figured out in the Outer Sect. Joining the core hall so quickly might have adverse effects. If you trust me, perhaps we should wait a bit longer!"
Seeing his insistence and apparent consideration, Qianjizi relaxed his urgent demeanor and sighed, "Very well, you have the right to make your own choices. It's somewhat embarrassing to admit that the Old Man and Hall Master Zhu originally intended to rescue you but ended up being saved by you instead. Sigh!"
Ye Feng chuckled; it was quite dramatic indeed. Fortunately, it ended happily for everyone involved. He then led Qianjizi and Liao Fang towards Zhu Feng's direction.
The distance between them wasn't far, so they soon spotted Zhu Feng and the transformed Flying Spirit Lion. Notably, the ghosts that Ye Feng had previously defeated had not completely dissipated; fragments of their torn bodies lingered in the surroundings.
The atmosphere was eerie and unsettling; although the chill wasn't overwhelming, it still sent shivers down one's spine!
"Old Master! You’re finally safe! I was so worried about you!" Zhu Feng exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Qianjizi and the others. He had initially feared that Ye Feng wouldn't be able to resolve the crisis over there; now it seemed he had underestimated Ye Feng's strength!
The Flying Spirit Lion merely nodded at Ye Feng when he saw him, indicating that he had taken good care of Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng had already recovered from his previous frail state; his complexion was no longer deathly gray but rather full of vitality—this was undoubtedly thanks to the Flying Spirit Lion!
"Thank you," Ye Feng said softly as he approached him.
The Flying Spirit Lion smiled but said nothing. At this moment, Qianjizi also expressed his sentiments while greeting Zhu Feng. Wang Wei and others felt somewhat awkward since they were outsiders among this group. However, everyone soon regained their spirits after surviving such a harrowing experience!
Ye Feng scanned the crowd and then calmly said, "Since everyone is here, I would like to say a few words. Shortly, I will lead everyone to leave this Underground Palace directly. If anyone has any objections, it’s best to raise them now. If not, you must all follow my lead on this journey!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were no objections from the crowd. Although he might be the youngest in terms of seniority and age, his displayed combat strength and maturity far surpassed that of his peers. Even Zhu Feng and Qianjizi showed their agreement with Ye Feng's leadership.
Seeing that there were no objections, Ye Feng quickly visualized a map in his mind. According to the map's guidance, they were not too far from the exit. He then led everyone cautiously yet briskly through the Underground Palace.
Compared to the previous pace set by Qianjizi and Zhu Feng, Ye Feng moved with incredible speed. However, what reassured everyone was his calmness and steady steps, which gave them the illusion that he could navigate anywhere within this Underground Palace.
Along the way, Flying Spirit Lion walked alongside Ye Feng, discussing various matters regarding the Ground. After all, it had been ten thousand years since Flying Spirit Lion had last seen the outside world, leading to many questions and some apprehension. The most important concern was what he should do once he emerged.
In the current Divine Martial Continent, there were certainly no traces of his former master. It seemed that due to being sealed away for so long, he lacked the strength to follow in his predecessor's footsteps. Based on this situation, it appeared that upon reaching the Ground, he would be a homeless wanderer.
Ye Feng noticed this and offered him a suggestion.
"If it comes to it, you can come back with me to our Sect. I believe the two seniors behind us will also be eager to keep you around since your strength speaks for itself."
"You mean for me to be a muscle for your Sect?" Flying Spirit Lion replied somewhat self-deprecatingly.
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "No one can demand anything from you. You would be like a guest at our Sect; whether you stay or leave is entirely up to you. I will discuss with my Shishu to give you an identity. As for your true identity, I won’t expose it either!"
After hearing this, Flying Spirit Lion fell silent for a moment. It seemed that at present, this was his only option. After all, with Ye Feng's support, returning to the human world wouldn’t be too difficult. Despite being a master of the Xuanwu Realm, his precious spirit beast aura could still attract stronger warriors.
If some warriors coveted such a shapeshifting spirit beast, his fate might not end well!
"Alright then, until I find a better way out, let’s settle on this decision. Thank you for your help!"
"Hehe, there's no need for such formality between us," Ye Feng replied with a smile. With Weilian Shattered Immortal Spear already recognizing him as its master, he didn’t expect this spirit beast to do the same; however, having more friends like this could only be beneficial!
Qianjizi and Zhu Feng followed closely behind, observing the two exchanging glances, knowing they were definitely discussing something. However, out of respect, neither of the Hall Master level figures asked any questions, and instead began to communicate in their hearts.
"Old Zhu, I don't know what kind of miraculous medicine this kid has taken, but he has actually elevated his realm to such a level. I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse for him!"
"What does it matter? To be honest, I was also surprised at first, but later I realized that perhaps from the very beginning, this kid was hiding his strength. When he was a newcomer, he was not at the Origin Martial Realm. It wasn't until he came to this Underground Palace and encountered great danger that he stopped hiding!"
Zhu Feng had guessed some things, but it still deviated significantly from the truth.
Qianjizi became suspicious: "If what you say is true, then it would explain why his talent is so abnormal. You have to know that with so many Exceptional attributes, we haven't encountered anything like that in our Heavenly Mechanism Sect for many years. But if that's the case, aren't you worried..."
"Worried about what? Worried that this kid is a spy from somewhere? Come on, Old Master, don't make your own schemes sound so mysterious. I think he's just been biding his time. If he really had any ill intentions towards our Heavenly Mechanism Sect, do you think he would have saved us?"
With Zhu Feng's suggestion, Qianjizi thought it made sense. However, the Flying Spirit Lion beside him left him feeling puzzled. Could this kid really be a descendant of some extraordinary family?
Ye Feng, Ye Family, Sky Abyss Empire—there seemed to be no major Ye Family here. However, it was said that there was indeed a Ye Family in the Qin Yuan Empire that could rival or even surpass Heavenly Level Sects!
Could this kid be a disciple sent out by the legendary Ye Family for training? If that's the case, then the person beside him must be accompanying him! It seemed Old Man had underestimated these young figures!
Qianjizi thought he had figured something out; however, he was getting further away from the truth. But soon this wouldn't matter because under Ye Feng's lead, they finally caught a glimpse of sunlight ahead—the bright spot in front was the exit!
