Chapter 158 They're all old foxes
Inside the hall, as Qingfeng's words fell...
The Core Formation cultivators on the surrounding stone pillars couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"The young master of Qingyang Sect? The only son of the Three Yang Old Demon?"
A scholar in a gray robe sized up Qingfeng.
"I remember more than ten years ago, Qingfeng was a notorious playboy who, relying on his father's reputation, squandered spirit stones and caused trouble in various markets."
Why do you seem so composed today?
Another monk discussed the matter telepathically.
"Hey, this news of yours is probably decades old, isn't it?"
A middle-aged cultivator nearby sneered.
"He's no longer the spoiled brat he used to be. I heard that under his management, Kui Xing Island is now a large island comparable to Tian Xing City in terms of prosperity!"
"That's not all! I passed by Kui Xing Island a few years ago and personally witnessed the demon-slaying celebration he presided over. He single-handedly killed a level seven demon beast; his strength was terrifying!"
Another person chimed in.
"He can kill a level seven demonic beast single-handedly? That means he must have mastered the 'Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art'!"
Although the cultivators spoke in hushed tones, they were still detected by Qingfeng's Nascent Soul level divine sense.
The Nascent Soul stage monster present naturally heard it all clearly.
Wan Tianming stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze falling on Qingfeng as he sized him up.
With a face as fair as jade and eyes as bright as stars, he stood there neither humble nor arrogant.
He glanced again at the several members of the Wan family in the main hall... Although they were all carefully selected elites in the Core Formation stage from their clans, their cultivation levels were mostly in the middle stage.
Compared to Qingfeng... their eyes flickered, and they dared not meet the gazes of those demonic giants.
He tried to remain calm, but couldn't hide the fear in his eyes.
Compared to the green maple, it was like a fledgling bird that had never experienced wind and rain, encountering a soaring eagle.
"Hehe, you two have found a good apprentice."
Wan Tianming spoke in a plain tone, but for someone of his status as the leader of the righteous path to say "good disciple" to a junior who had just reached the Core Formation stage was already a very high compliment.
Meanwhile, Tengoko and Mufuko exchanged a thoughtful glance.
Kui Xing Island was originally just one of the twenty-four outer star islands with a better geographical location.
However, after Qingyangmen announced its complete takeover of operations, its influence expanded several times over the next few decades.
Especially in the last ten years or so, Qingyang Sect has been recruiting under the banner of "education for all," attracting countless independent cultivators and small families to join.
The number of cultivators in its city far exceeds that of other islands.
What's even more concerning is the increased strength of the upper echelons of the Qingyang Sect.
More than a decade ago, the Three Yang Old Demon suddenly announced that the notorious Barbarian Beard and the Qingyi Hermit of Nanhe Island had joined the Qingyang Sect as Supreme Elders.
This news shocked all the forces in the Chaotic Star Sea.
It should be known that in the Chaotic Star Sea, every Nascent Soul cultivator occupies an entire island, and very few are willing to be subordinate to others.
Apart from Star Palace, Myriad Laws Sect, and Holy Demon Island, which each have multiple Nascent Soul cultivators, the other forces cooperate in a loose alliance.
As for the bearded man, he is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with formidable combat power. He is known as the "Number One Defensive Demon Technique Master in the Chaotic Star Sea" and doesn't even give face to the major powers.
Although Qingyi Laodao was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was a smooth and tactful person with a wide circle of friends, and was extremely popular among the independent cultivators.
The simultaneous joining of these two individuals by the Qingyang Sect signifies the emergence of a new near-top-tier power.
Rumor has it that Qing Sanyang has been in seclusion for over a decade and is currently attempting to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
There are only about five Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Chaotic Star Sea.
Besides the Star Palace Twin Saints, there are the Six Supreme Saints of Saint Demon Island, Wan Sangu of the Myriad Laws Sect, and the Golden Dragon King of the Sea Abyss Dragon Clan.
If Qing Sanyang really broke through from the peak of the Yuanzhong stage to the late stage of the Yuanying stage... then the Qingyang Sect, with the late stage of the Yuanying stage in charge, plus Manhuzi and Qingyi, would be in a very powerful position.
It will leap to become a truly top-tier power capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Myriad Laws Sect and the Holy Demon Island!
"This bearded man used to be incredibly arrogant, but now he's willing to submit to others and serve as a guard for the only son of the Three Yang Old Demon. It's probably true what they say."
Tianwuzi transmitted his voice to Wan Tianming and Mutengzi.
"Yes, Qing Yi is as cunning as a fox. Now that he has publicly chosen sides, it is likely that the Three Yang Old Demon is indeed in seclusion to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."
Master Wan, Qingyang Sect is a neutral force. Should we try to win them over?
Although we've formed the Reverse Star Alliance with the Demonic Path, that old codger Ji Yin will probably pull some tricks within this Void Heaven Palace, and those two Lan Demons don't seem like people who follow the rules at all.
Kifutōko said.
After hearing the two people's telepathic communication, Wan Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly.
What they said made sense; the treasures inside the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Heaven-Mending Pill were indeed invaluable.
In the face of such a treasure, any alliance is utter nonsense.
The two Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Demonic Path, working together, were able to escape from the clutches of the Star Palace's two Saints.
He certainly couldn't handle such strength on his own, so it would be better to pull Barbarian along to create balance.
However, just as Wan Tianming was about to secretly send a telepathic message to Manhuzi, the Lan Clan female demon spoke first.
"Hey, you bearded man, your apprentice is quite handsome. How about giving him to me?"
Lan Lian'er, her peach blossom eyes sweeping over Qing Feng a few times, said with a smile.
"You old man" "You dare to mess with my apprentice? I'll crush you!"
Upon hearing her words, the bearded man unleashed his full power, displaying an aura that surpassed that of an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm! This old barbarian has actually made progress in his cultivation."
Wan Tianming was startled.
His lifespan was about the same as that of the bearded man, and seeing the other's strength improve made him even more upset than if his own cultivation had regressed.
Lan Lian'er's face stiffened, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Lan Lian'er had roamed the Chaotic Star Sea for hundreds of years, and had never been so humiliated in front of so many people.
"You old barbarian, you're asking for it!"
Her body was filled with spiritual energy, and an extremely cold pink mist spread out from her body.
The Core Formation cultivators on the surrounding stone pillars felt a chill run down their spines and their breath caught in their throats.
"Haha, old man" Come on!
The bearded man laughed loudly and took a step forward.
His muscles bulged, and a golden luster appeared on his skin; this was the first defensive technique of the Chaotic Star Sea, the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art.
Seeing this, Qingyi pulled Qingfeng back to another stone pillar.
Qingfeng remained calm, showing no concern that Manhuzi would lose in a two-on-one fight.
"Young Master, shall we ask for your assistance?"
Qingyi transmitted his voice to Qingfeng.
"No need. Elder Man has been tempered by lightning and fire for over a decade; he can't possibly lose to the Lan Clan's Twin Demons."
Qingfeng is very confident.
Because the bearded man was able to improve his cultivation, he was taught the "Thunder and Fire Tempering Method" from the "Heavenly Demon Art" to accelerate body tempering.
Now, the bearded man's defense is such that he can withstand his father's purple lightning strikes head-on.
Although the Lan Clan's Twin Demons are said to be able to deliver a combined attack comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they are far inferior to their true father, the Empress.
Just as Qingfeng was about to take advantage of the chaos to contact Han Li, three golden lights flashed out from the passage.
As soon as these three appeared, all the cultivators in the hall turned their attention to them.
"The people from the Star Palace have arrived."
Wan Tianming narrowed his eyes.
Ji Yin and Lady Wen both turned their heads.
The two demons of the Lan clan, who were locked in a standoff, and the barbarian with the barbarian's beard also temporarily stopped clashing their auras and looked at the three newcomers.
