Chapter 766: Chapter 0684: Sending Miao Miaomiao
The differences between people are truly vast.
"Just because I glanced at you in the crowd, I can never forget your face..."
Ye Qingfeng’s voice resonated through the air, and the entire venue fell silent. Shocked, envious, and fascinated gazes all fell on him. The Yi sisters were particularly stunned, their beautiful eyes flickering with a strange light.
"He... he can sing?"
Miao Miaomiao swallowed, full of disbelief.
Suddenly, she understood why Song Shuyao was so obsessed with this young man, to the point of losing interest in food and drink.
Such an outstanding man was rare in the world; who could compare?
Qiao Lianxiang smiled faintly, recalling when she first met Ye Qingfeng, he had sung for her. Now, after two years, the scene felt familiar, and his indescribably perfect performance was unforgettable for a lifetime.
While Miao Miaomiao was lost in the song, Qiao Lianxiang suddenly said to her, "Miao Miao, remember, do not mention that matter again, and don’t let him find out!"
Miao Miaomiao was startled and, coming back to her senses, asked in confusion, "Master, why? He’s so strong, you should seek his help!"
Qiao Lianxiang shook her head with a bitter smile, "Miao Miao, you don’t understand the terror of that person, there is a giant entity behind him, immeasurable!"
"With Ye Qingfeng’s nature, if he knew about this, he certainly wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. But the opponent’s power is overwhelming; even if his combat power is astounding, he still can’t touch that level. I don’t want to involve him, causing him undue strong enemies, leading to a
cascade of disasters!"
Miao Miaomiao’s heart understood; Qiao Lianxiang wasn’t telling for the sake of Ye Qingfeng.
A touch of bitterness washed over her heart, unwillingly she said.
"Master, do you really want to accept your fate?"
"Accept my fate?"
Qiao Lianxiang, upon hearing this, could only smile bitterly.
How could she want to accept her fate? But that individual was too domineering and powerful; with a word, he could decide the life or death of the Lotus Sect, or even the entire outer sects of the Ancient Martial Sect.
Facing such a terrifying existence, what grounds did she have for resistance? As the Sect Master of the Lotus Sect, she bore too much, and when she took over the sect from the dying old Sect Master, she had already decided that she must consider all the interests of the sect.
For the sect, even if it meant sacrificing herself, she would do so without hesitation.
Watching by the campfire, as Ye Qingfeng softly sang and enchanted countless people, her heart softly trembled once again.
"I wonder if there will be a chance to hear him sing again in the future!"
Who could understand her melancholy in her heart?
That night, the people of the Thunderbolt Sect and the Lotus Sect did not rest, celebrating until dawn. After Ye Qingfeng’s song, he became a bystander, and no matter how the disciples coaxed, he did not rise again, only sitting quietly with Qiao Lianxiang and savoring the peace of the moment.
Ye Qingfeng had no intention of staying long at the outer sect. He came from the Mortal World and belonged to it; at the outer sect, he was merely a passerby.
The people of the Thunderbolt Sect repeatedly expressed their thanks to Ye Qingfeng. Bo Yuanzi, holding a black long blade, approached Ye Qingfeng.
"War God, this ’Heavy Slaughter’ is a top-tier Divine Weapon. The people of the Demon Punishment Palace were defeated by you; it should rightfully be yours!"
Ye Qingfeng glanced at the blade of the Heavy Slaughter without much expression. After a moment, he waved his hand and turned away.
"Keep it for yourself. I don’t need such things!"
Though the Heavy Slaughter was powerful, it was several levels inferior to the Chiyou Sword. Ye Qingfeng had little regard for the Chiyou Sword, let alone this blade?
Many were astonished, secretly amazed, the Invincible War God certainly lived up to his name, to ignore even a Divine Weapon.
Bo Yuanzi was dumbfounded for a moment, then retrieved it with a bitter smile, while the other elders were secretly pleased.
With this Divine Weapon, even if no one can wield it now, a disciple who can use Heavy Slaughter will eventually emerge, and by then, the strength of the Thunderbolt Sect will surely advance to another level.
"Feng, with this parting, who knows when we’ll meet again!"
Qiao Lianxiang gazed at Ye Qingfeng, her voice deep and lingering.
"Sister Xiang, meeting is easy. I’ll visit your Lotus Sect when I have time!"
Ye Qingfeng smiled.
Though Qiao Lianxiang’s heart was filled with bitterness, her face was still full of smiles, and she softly said, "Alright, Sister Xiang will be waiting for you!"
After speaking, she gently nudged Miao Miaomiao forward with a light smile, "Feng, now that the Demon Punishment Palace matter is resolved, Miao Miao is also returning to the Mortal World. I’ll have her accompany you; take good care of her!"
Miao Miaomiao lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Ye Qingfeng, while the eyes of the surrounding female disciples turned envious and jealous.
To travel with the Invincible War God, why hadn’t they encountered such fortune? Yi Xun and Yi Yue felt deep regret; they had shared a boat with Ye Qingfeng earlier, but missed many opportunities to connect because of their lack of discernment.
Glancing at Miao Miaomiao, Ye Qingfeng didn’t refuse. To him, one more or less made no difference.
He gazed at Qiao Lianxiang’s charming face, his expression suddenly solemn.
"Sister Xiang, remember, if you ever encounter any trouble, come to Yanjing University to find me. Even if I have to search the ends of the earth, I will solve it for you."
Qiao Lianxiang’s heart trembled, and she was almost moved to reveal her own problems.
But just as the words were about to spill from her lips, she suddenly regained composure and suppressed her agitation.
"Rest assured, if Sister Xiang has troubles, she won’t stand on ceremony with you!"
She smiled softly, waved at Ye Qingfeng, but only Miao Miaomiao knew the bitterness hidden within her smile.
Ye Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Qiao Lianxiang, said nothing more, nodded gently, then turned to leave.
Miao Miaomiao followed, somewhat awkwardly and with a hint of secret joy, while nearly a thousand eyes watched the two of them go.
Although Ye Qingfeng left the outer sect, his exploits did not cease to echo there.
The Thunderbolt and Lotus Sects, at Qianling Mountain, faced the fierce Demon Punishment Palace. Most sects of the outer circle believed both would be defeated, but one person’s appearance completely changed the battle, single-handedly challenging a sect and slaying all of the Demon Punishment Palace’s top experts. Both sects claimed overwhelming victory.
The sects of the outer circle were amazed to find that this person was not from the Ancient Martial Sect but was an expert from the Mortal World.
The curious ones in the outer circle investigated his identity, and when they learned, everyone was shocked.
Invincible War God, Ye Jiujie!
This name was not unfamiliar to many sect experts, but they never expected this top Devil of the Mortal World’s Huaxia to involve himself in outer sect matters.
He single-handedly crushed the Demon Punishment Palace, defeated the War Emperor expert Fang Li wielding the Heavy Slaughter, leaving the Demon Punishment Palace in utter defeat. There were even rumors that XIng Mozi, the founder of the Demon Punishment Palace, made a defiant appearance yet could not stop Ye Jiujie from slaughtering the Demon Punishment Palace experts. All seventeen experts above Peak Battle King perished, and ultimately even Xing Mozi himself could not escape, killed with a single strike.
