Chapter 1524 – Major Change in the Spiritual Race
“Although this old man does not recommend that you leave, this old man has divined that the Heaven Defying Faction does not seem to have as much desire for the Ninth God Eye at present,” Yu Tianwu added.
Perhaps as Zhao Feng matured, the chances of successfully seizing the Ninth God Eye decreased, causing the Heaven Defying Faction to simply give up.
However, there was one other possibility. The Heaven Defying Faction might have simply changed its primary goal.
“Is that so?” Zhao Feng was rather surprised.
It was naturally great if the Heaven Defying Faction had given up on the Ninth God Eye. This meant that him leaving this time would be much less dangerous.
“Feng, let us meet again!” Liu Qinxin bid farewell.
“Let’s meet again, Big Sister Qinxin!” Zhao Yufei giggled.
In her time at the Sage Faction, her relationship with Liu Qinxin had become much less awkward, and they had even developed a friendship. But in her heart, Zhao Yufei still regarded Liu Qinxin as a rival.
After saying his goodbyes, Zhao Feng prepared to leave.
Flying back to the Spiritual Race was naturally not an option, and even teleportation arrays would take a long time. Using Thought Teleportation would only take a moment.
After moving Zhao Yufei to the Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and created a Dream Dimension. Zhao Feng’s residence within the Spiritual Race took form in the Dream Dimension.
But this time, the Thought Teleportation failed. The reason was probably that Zhao Feng’s residence had been altered. Thus, Zhao Feng changed his target to the Spiritual Race’s All Spirit Hall.
The All Spirit Hall was where the Spiritual Race stored its arts and skills. Back then, Zhao Feng had selected the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique from the highest floor of the All Spirit Hall. He was confident that such an important place would not be randomly changed.
Just as expected:
Swish!
The Thought Teleportation succeeded, and Zhao Feng appeared at the top floor of the All Spirit Hall.
The arts at the highest floor had high requirements, so the floor was currently deserted.
Now that they were back at the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng moved Zhao Yufei out of his Divine Kingdom.
“We’re here?” Zhao Yufei was flabbergasted. She was wondering a moment ago if Zhao Feng was moving her out because he had run into some problem.
Zhao Yufei had also been to the highest floor of the All Spirit Hall. She truly didn’t dare to believe her own eyes as she took in her surroundings.
“Brother Feng, how is this possible?” Zhao Yufei’s delicate and beautiful face was stricken with surprise.
Probably anyone would be shocked if they were instantly transported back to the Spiritual Race from where they were. “A special ability of the God Eye,” Zhao Feng simply explained.
Afterward, he and Zhao Yufei took their leave of the All Spirit Hall. Of course, Zhao Feng had altered his face a little. After all, there were a lot of people in the Spiritual Race.
As they were going down, the people on the lower floors glanced at the pair and were instantly amazed.
“Isn’t that Zhao Yufei?” a Rank Seven Ancient God member of the Spiritual Race murmured in shock.
Hadn’t Zhao Yufei left the Spiritual Race a long time ago to hone herself? Why had she suddenly appeared in the All Spirit Hall? In addition, who was the man next to Zhao Yufei? How was it that they had never seen him before? Was he some new lover she had found in the outside world?
“Junior Sister Yufei, when did you get back?” A fair and handsome man slowly walked over, an eager smile on his face.
This person was none other than Ancient God Ice Origin. He was the main force of the Spiritual Race’s team in the gambling match against the Blazing Gold Race, and later on, in the war between the two races, he and his father Ancient God Blue Distance had fled in the face of danger, causing them to become the laughingstock of the Spiritual Race.
“I just got back. Has anything happened in the Spiritual Race recently?” Zhao Yufei had just been preparing to leave, but then she suddenly stopped and asked this question. Ancient God Ice Origin was considered a prodigy of the Spiritual Race and possessed some status. He would probably know what was going on.
“If you’re talking about major events, there’s only one. A few days ago, the Grand Elder broke into the Second Heaven, defeated the patriarch, and took his position!” Ancient God Ice Origin immediately replied.
“Oh? Is that so?” Zhao Yufei was rather startled.
Even if the Grand Elder had broken into the Second Heaven, he would find it very difficult to defeat a senior Second Heaven.
Yufei, who is this?” Ancient God Ice Origin looked at Zhao Feng with a hint of hostility.
He couldn’t recall anyone like this in the Spiritual Race, but he appeared to be extremely close to Zhao Yufei.
Zhao Yufei ignored the question and took Zhao Feng out of the All Spirit Hall and to the core area of the Spiritual Race.
“Heh, Zhao Yufei, you’re no longer the proud daughter of the Spiritual Race!” Ancient God Ice Origin watched Zhao Yufei and coldly laughed in disdain.
“Yufei, there’s something wrong,” Zhao Feng messaged.
Just now, some of the people in the All Spirit Hall had been shooting suspicious and sinister gazes at Zhao Yufei.
“I know. I’m going to find Master!” Zhao Yufei had also noticed something strange.
Her master was the Spiritual Race’s Third Elder and possessed an esteemed status.
But at this moment, a slightly plump elder descended together with four half-step God Lords. These five exuded an invisible pressure that caused everyone in the area to immediately retreat in fear.
“Welcome, Patriarch!” the Spiritual Race members called out from a distance.
This plump elder was the Spiritual Race’s Grand Elder, though he was now its patriarch and ruled the entire Spiritual Race.
“Grand Elder, what’s the meaning of this?” Zhao Yufei’s face chilled.
She already knew that the Grand Elder was the Spiritual Race Patriarch, but even though she had just returned, this person personally came to meet her while radiating such obvious hostility.
“Zhao Yufei, as a core disciple of the Spiritual Race, you went out on your own and stirred up a great disaster! Do you still not know what your crimes are?” The Grand Elder’s face darkened. Though not angry yet, he radiated immense dignity.
The pressure of a God Lord immediately descended upon the Spiritual Race, causing everyone to fall silent in fear.
“What sort of disaster did I stir up?” Zhao Yufei stared at the Grand Elder, realizing more and more that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
In the past, no matter what sort of mistake she had committed, the Spiritual Race would never blame her and would even protect her. But this time, the Spiritual Race’s Grand Elder seemed to have become abnormally harsh, even handling the interrogation himself.
Zhao Yufei did not recall committing any sort of terrible crime.
“Hmph, since you won’t admit your mistakes, the patriarch will personally capture you!” the Grand Elder bellowed.
At his side, the four enforcer elders immediately moved, surrounding Zhao Yufei.
Whoosh!
The Grand Elder flew forward, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a vast cloud of ice shards that took the form of a massive beast.
Zhao Yufei grunted as she soared into the air. A violet blade of energy formed in her hands and she tossed it forward. Boom! Bang! Crash!
As the two energies clashed, the surroundings were showered in crystal shards.
In the distance, several top-class spectating True Gods were caught up in this storm of crystal shards and were instantly slain.
“Where is my master!?” Zhao Yufei barked.
Ever since she had become a God Lord, Zhao Yufei had been quietly cultivating in the Sage Faction. Her strength had experienced a massive leap, and she was now a peak First Heaven.
“Zhao Yufei, you dare to attack the Spiritual Race Patriarch!? You go against the will of the heavens by striking at your superior – a treasonous act!” The Grand Elder did not answer Zhao Yufei’s question. Instead, he once more proclaimed Zhao Yufei’s crimes.
Swish!
An azure saber appeared in the Grand Elder’s hand that exuded a freezing aura that caused the temperature of the entire Spiritual Race to drop several degrees.
Zhao Feng activated his left eye. All of these things were far too abnormal. Zhao Yufei’s return had actually brought on a personal attack from the Spiritual Race’s Grand Elder?
The Grand Elder was currently a Second Heaven. Meanwhile, Zhao Yufei had left the Spiritual Race as a Rank Nine Ancient God. This meant that the Grand Elder knew what Zhao Yufei had experienced outside. Otherwise, he would have never personally intervened.
“This is…” As Zhao Feng focused his left eye on the Grand Elder, a look of shock appeared on his face. He instantly understood what was going on.
Boom! Bang! Crash!
In the sky, the Grand Elder and Zhao Yufei continued their fierce clash. Although Zhao Yufei’s cultivation was slightly weaker, she could proficiently use all kinds of combat skills, her ability to use them far surpassing the Grand Elder.
The Ancient Gods watching from a distance were all shocked by this sight.
“Zhao Yufei is actually able to go blow for blow with the Grand Elder!?” Ancient God Ice Origin trembled in fear. Fortunately, he had not done anything to Zhao Yufei, or else the consequences would have been unthinkable.
But while Zhao Yufei was strong, she would still fall here.
“Where is my master?” Zhao Yufei once more questioned the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder remained ignorant of Zhao Yufei’s repeated questions. His face exuded killing intent as he fired off one lethal attack after another.
“Heaven Radiance Palm!” Zhao Yufei fully activated her bloodline and unleashed her Divine Power in the form of a grandiose palm.
The energy of the world converged on this gigantic violet palm. The power of this attack swelled from peak First Heaven into the Second Heaven level.
“Azure Clouds Shatter the Heavens!” The Grand Elder repeatedly swung the azure saber, creating a storm of ice crystals.
Boom! Bang! Crash!
The two attacks collided. The entire Spiritual Race swayed and shook. If not for the fact that the buildings had been specially constructed and further reinforced by arrays, they would have all been destroyed.
The battle between Zhao Yufei and the Grand Elder left the other upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race stunned. They never would have imagined that the heavenly daughter of the Spiritual Race would have matured to this level.
But at this time, the entire Spiritual Race was under the Grand Elder’s control. Everyone had to obey him. The Third Elder and Second Elder had defied the Grand Elder, so they had been imprisoned in the forbidden ground.
“Who is that man with Zhao Yufei?” An Ancient God suddenly looked at Zhao Feng. It was obvious from the fact that Zhao Feng was perfectly fine despite being so close to the battle that he possessed extraordinary cultivation.
“No matter who he is, he’s going to have a bad end!” Ancient God Ice Origin sneered.
The Grand Elder was able to supplant the former patriarch because the Grand Elder had the support of even stronger God Lord. This was also why the majority of the Spiritual Race’s members were willing to support the Grand Elder.
At this moment:
Swish!
A white-robed middle-aged man appeared in the sky.
“It’s him!” Ancient God Ice Origin became excited.
“Patriarch, let me capture this traitor of the Spiritual Race.” The middle-aged man faintly smiled as he stared at Zhao Yufei.
“It’s you!” Zhao Yufei scowled.
She recalled that it was the team of three led by this white-robed middle-aged man who had suddenly attacked her near the Burning Heaven Sea. If not for Zhao Feng’s prompt arrival, she would have probably been captured.
This middle-aged man was none other than Beiming Hui.
“In the end, you couldn’t escape my grasp!” Beiming Hui evilly chuckled.
“Heh, Beiming Hui, you escaped last time, but I didn’t think that we would meet again so soon!” At this moment, the bystander Zhao Feng finally spoke.
His face slowly shifted, returning to its original appearance.
“You’re… Zhao Feng!” Beiming Hui was at first somewhat confused, but then he grimaced.
