The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 70: The New Spirit Mine Dispute, Earth Frenzied Lizard

Translator: 549690339

Just now, Ye Feng had intentionally spoken to the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate for two reasons: one was to divert the opponent’s attention, and the other was to covertly build up his strength.

Although the strike wasn’t his full power, it still carried at least seventy percent of his strength. However, it only managed to dent the black shield.

“Cough cough cough!”

At this moment, the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate coughed violently, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. With a “crack” sound, the shield in his hand finally shattered.

“To shatter a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact with one strike, this power… flee!”

The complexion of the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate changed drastically.

Just then, through the cracks of the shattered shield, he saw Ye Feng’s rapidly approaching fist and hurriedly dodged, filled with shock and fear.

Whoosh!

The Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate’s large pig-like legs began to exert force, and he ran even faster than before, leaving several afterimages in his wake.

“This speed…”

Ye Feng’s punch missed its target. He watched as the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate darted into the fog and disappeared after a few leaps.

The other disciples also opened their mouths in surprise.

“So these puppet pig legs were not meant for fighting, but for fleeing!” Li Jiaojiao commented in a low voice.

Ye Feng hadn’t expected the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate’s pig legs to be so powerful; that speed was even faster than a fully mastered Wind Spirit Step.

At that time, Mo Ying asked, “Sect Leader, what do we do now?”

Ye Feng glanced at the scattered Puppet Wild Wolves on the ground. “Gather any usable materials.”

“Yes.”

The disciples began to collect them.

Once the materials were gathered and stored in the System Space, Ye Feng led his disciples cautiously towards the Spirit Mine.

In a dense forest enveloped by fog.

The Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate lay on the ground panting heavily, his tongue hanging out like a dog that had run hundreds of miles.

The Tyrant Blade Grand Elder held a long blade beside a mighty tiger, eyeing the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate, and demanded, “Where is the Puppet Wolf Squad?”

Upon hearing this, the face of the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate changed.

The squad, purchased specifically for attacking the Spirit Mine and temporarily under his command, was hijacked by him in a vengeance-fueled plan to ambush Ye Feng. He had thought he could swallow the whole Misty Sect and take all the glory for himself.

But to his dismay, he had failed!

Should Little Wolf General find out, he would surely be skinned alive!

“I was ambushed by the Misty Sect!”

The Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate wore a serious expression as he started his deceit, “You have no idea, the battle was tragic. Even my Heixuan Shield was shattered; if I hadn’t desperately fled, you wouldn’t see me anymore.”

The Tyrant Blade Grand Elder furrowed his white brows, feeling that the matter was not simple.

After a brief thought, he cursed in a low voice, “Well, well, so it was you who led the Puppet Wolf Squad to surround and attack the Misty Sect. But instead of seizing the chicken, you lost the rice. Now that we’ve lost the Puppet Wolf Squad, we’ll definitely be at a disadvantage in the fight for the Spirit Mine. When Little Wolf General pins the blame on us, it will be more than you can handle!”

Hearing this, the Tyrant Blade Grand Elder was so furious he felt like chopping the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate with his blade.

“I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!” the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate immediately retorted.

The mouth of the Tyrant Blade Grand Elder twitched, but thinking of the importance of Little Wolf General’s plan, he suppressed his rage and said, “From now on, act according to my instructions. If you dare to mess up again, don’t blame my blade for chopping at your pig head!”

With those words, the Tyrant Blade Grand Elder raised his long blade high, unleashing a powerful aura that even dissipated the nearby mist.

“I will definitely obey!”

The survival instinct of the Sect Leader of Heixuan Gate surged wildly as he kneeled, begging for mercy and kowtowing.

The Tyrant Blade Grand Elder was hardly pacified but ultimately sheathed his blade.

“Squeak, squeak!”

At that moment, a black rat scurried over and jumped onto the Grand Elder’s palm, chittering at him excitedly.

“Good, not only the Misty Sect but also Feathers Sect, Falling Mountain Sect, and several other sects have arrived at the Spirit Mine. Our plan can commence,” the Tyrant Blade Grand Elder laughed heartily.

Miles away.

Ye Feng and his companions reached a mountain valley where the mist was thin and visibility stretched for over a thousand meters.

Beneath a cliff of rock, there was a large cave whose destination was unknown, surrounded by over a hundred people from various sects, including high-ranked sects like the Feathers Sect and middle-ranked sects like the Falling Mountain Sect, among a dozen others.

“Huh, the Misty Sect has arrived too.”

“A lower-ranked sect, so what if they’re here?”

“No matter who comes, we from the Feathers Sect must take the lion’s share of the Spirit Mine.”

The disciples from the various sects discussed among themselves upon seeing Ye Feng and his group.

Ye Feng couldn’t care less about these comments and glanced around, realizing there were no familiar faces. He then sat down with his disciples, took out various kinds of food, and began replenishing their strength.

The other sects saw this scene and their expressions turned weird.

At such a time, they still felt like eating?

“Lao Tie, you go back to the sect and wait,” Ye Feng patted the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle, which nodded and soared into the sky.

The Spirit Mine was underground and the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle was a Flying Spirit Beast, unsuitable for entering. Waiting outside could be dangerous, so returning to the sect was the best choice.

“Yo, there are so many people?”

At this moment, the Tyrant Blade Grand Elder rode on a Mighty Fierce Tiger, accompanied by over a dozen disciples from the Tyrant Blade Sect, each at least at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, and their presence instantly overshadowed the other sects.

Ye Feng glanced at the Tyrant Blade Grand Elder and noticed the man was looking straight ahead as if he did not notice anyone else’s presence.

“The time is almost up. The High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beast, the ‘Earth Frenzied Lizard’ guarding the Spirit Mine, should be coming out to hunt for food soon. We will ambush it later, and then compete for the Spirit Mine based on our abilities,” spoke the Great Elder from the Feathers Sect, dressed in a green robe, appearing kind and friendly, and exuding the aura of a ninth-level Qi Refinement Peak cultivator.

The Great Elder from the Feathers Sect had not yet attempted to break through to the Element Gathering Realm. He had been accumulating his strength, and was rumored to be one of the highly regarded cultivators in Whitefloat City most likely to make a breakthrough.

In comparison to the Tyrant Blade Grand Elder, who had failed in his advancement, the words of the Feathers Sect’s Grand Elder carried more weight.

“All right, then we’ll follow the Feathers Sect Great Elder’s plan.”

None of the other sects objected.

The Tyrant Blade Grand Elder had long been brewing his own plans and was not interested in causing unnecessary complications, remaining silent throughout.

Everyone quickly scattered and hid in the nearby dense forests.

“Sect Leader, how much longer do we have to wait?”

In the bushes, Xia He, obscured by shrubbery, felt her neck itch and quickly lowered her voice to ask.

“Don’t rush, just keep waiting! And later, when we attack the Earth Frenzied Lizard, we’ll just go through the motions,” Ye Feng instructed seriously.

“What’s ‘going through the motions’?” asked Ouyang Yu, the youngest among them.

“Don’t you know how to swim? ‘Going through the motions’ means making it look like you’re making a big effort, but actually doing as little as possible. This way, we can conserve our strength for later,” Ye Feng explained.

“Oh, I got it!”

The disciples nodded one after another.

They waited for half an hour.

Not until the sun began to tilt westward did they hear a “thump, thump, thump” of heavy footsteps coming from the cave, like a herd of massive elephants in stampede, shaking the ground itself.

“It’s coming!”

Ye Feng focused his attention.

A black lizard, over ten meters in length, crawled out of the cave, covered in scales as large as bowls and with spikes on its tail. A dark red horn grew on its head, making it look imposing.

This was the Earth Frenzied Lizard!

A High-rank Demon Soldier Level Peak Demon Beast.

As it emerged from the cave, it cautiously flicked its tongue in all directions before continuing forward.

“Attack!”

At that moment, the Great Elder of the Feathers Sect shouted.

Numerous beams of light surged from the bushes, slamming into the rock wall, causing a massive collapse of boulders that instantly blocked the cave entrance, cutting off the Earth Frenzied Lizard’s retreat.

“Charge, slay the Earth Frenzied Lizard!”

The others burst out of the bushes, unleashing waves of formidable energy.
