The Strongest Dandy in the City
Chapter 2490 - 2479: Ancient City of Dragon Soul
Under the concealment of Old Bai Wu Fengxian and Old Hei Jiang Yuntian’s power,
plus the fact that Ye Chenfeng was now a genuine Early Divine Venerate Realm powerhouse, he silently left the back mountain without a sound.
The Wus’ headquarters was currently bustling like never before, completely immersed in a festive atmosphere, as if it were some grand holiday.
Everyone in the Wus all thought that Wu Chengyan had broken through to become a Supreme Alchemist.
And the commotion from Wu Chengyan stepping into the Extreme Peak, because it was shrouded by Old Bai and Old Hei’s power, did not cause any disturbance within the Wus’ headquarters.
After Ye Chenfeng carefully returned to the courtyard where he was staying, he discovered that the branch members Wu Gui, Wu Lingyu and the others were not there.
He suddenly felt someone approaching this courtyard; after carefully sensing, he confirmed that the people coming were precisely Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu.
He then pretended to have just walked out from his room, since Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu had always thought Ye Chenfeng was cultivating in his room, and that was why they hadn’t gone to disturb him.
Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu stepped into the courtyard, and when they saw Ye Chenfeng,
Wu Gui hurriedly walked up, face full of excitement as he said, "Brother, you finally pulled yourself out of cultivation? You’ve actually missed out on a heaven-sent great event, what a pity."
"Right now the Wus’ headquarters is laying out a massive banquet. Ling Yu and I came back midway to check on you several times, but seeing your room door tightly shut the whole time... let’s sit down first and talk."
There were a stone table and stone stools in the courtyard.
After they walked over to the stone table, Wu Gui took out dish after dish of Spirit Dishes and Spiritual Wine from his storage ring.
These were things Wu Gui had deliberately snuck off the banquet table, all specially prepared for Ye Chenfeng.
Wu Gui said, "These are the authentic Spirit Dishes and Spiritual Wine from the Wus’ headquarters; usually they’re very hard to come by."
After they sat down on the stone stools,
Wu Gui continued, "Brother Ye, you have no idea how lively the Wus’ headquarters is right now."
"You know what? Just now the ancestor Chengyan at headquarters refined a kind of Ninth Grade Elixir. When the pill was completed, the heavenly tribulation it triggered was terrifying to the extreme."
"Then something even more outrageous happened. Ancestor Chengyan actually stepped directly into the realm of Supreme Alchemist, and ten Medicine Cauldron phantoms appeared in the sky as a phenomenon. That’s simply unprecedented."
"Brother Ye, your timing for cultivation really couldn’t have been worse."
Ye Chenfeng had a somewhat odd feeling in his heart, since the one who had refined the elixir and stepped into the Supreme realm was him.
However, he had quite a good impression of Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu; at a time like this they still kept thinking of him.
Ye Chenfeng said indifferently, "Whether I saw those phenomena or not doesn’t matter. What’s most important next is the competition between the branches of the Six Great Hidden Sects."
Wu Gui nodded in agreement. After downing a cup of Spiritual Wine, he said, "Brother Ye, this time you and Ling Yu must really fight for our branch’s honor! Best would be if one of you could take first place, and then go on to participate in the official resources contest."
Wu Lingyu shook her head and said, "That’s not very likely. The branch disciples from the other Sects aren’t pushovers either; I’m afraid their combat strength will be anything but ordinary."
Ye Chenfeng merely smiled and left it at that.
He was now a堂堂 Early Divine Venerate Realm powerhouse; entering a branch competition of the Six Great Hidden Sects, those branch disciples weren’t even worth a fart in front of him.
Even if he participated in the Six Great Hidden Sects’ true resources contest,
those geniuses of the Six Great Hidden Sects really wouldn’t amount to anything in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes.
He simply didn’t want to startle the snake right now.
That was why Ye Chenfeng had been wearing a mask all along, and had been keeping his aura suppressed at the late Fifth Layer of Earth God Realm.
Even Wu Chengyan didn’t know Ye Chenfeng’s true strength, always assuming he was only at the late Fifth Layer of Earth God Realm.
Right now Ye Chenfeng had to secretly prepare for Old Bai and Old Hei to condense physical bodies.
Once Old Bai and Old Hei revived, then he would deliver a heavy blow.
Wu Gui also seemed to feel that Wu Lingyu’s words were quite reasonable. He patted Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder and said, "Ling Yu, you’ve seen my brother’s combat strength too. Even if he can’t get first place, taking a spot in the top five should be no problem, right?"
"We’re setting out tomorrow for the place where the resources contest will be held. This time it’s all thanks to Brother Ye; otherwise I’d never have set foot in the Wus’ headquarters, let alone taste the Spirit Dishes and Spiritual Wine here."
They were setting out tomorrow for the place where the Six Great Hidden Sects’ resources contest would be held?
Previously, after Ye Chenfeng’s strength broke through, and then with this step into the Divine Venerable Realm, he hadn’t yet had time to enter the Chaos Ring and see the changes in the small world.
Now that he learned they were heading to the resources contest site tomorrow,
there was no time to enter the small world inside the Chaos Ring now. If he chanced upon some opportunity in that small world and ended up delayed a few days, he would completely miss the trip to the resources contest site.
So,
he ultimately decided to wait until after the resources contest ended, then enter the small world inside the Chaos Ring to investigate.
The next day.
At the break of dawn,
the Wus’ headquarters began organizing the departure for the place where the resources contest would be held.
This time it was Wu Tianfu and Wu Zhiming who were leading the group.
The two branch ancestors Wu Ren and Wu Yuancài also set off together with them.
As for Wu Gui, although he couldn’t participate in the branch competition, Wu Zhiming still allowed him to tag along.
And Ye Chenfeng, Wu Lingyu, and Wu Qishui, who were representing the Wus’ branch in the competition, were naturally also aboard the Wus’ headquarters’ luxurious and enormous Spirit Boat.
After stepping onto the Spirit Boat,
Ye Chenfeng stayed in his own room and never came out.
After all, the three disciples representing the Wus in the official resources contest—Wu Lingxiang, Wu Huaqing, and Wu Yanwen—were also on the Spirit Boat.
Ye Chenfeng was staying in his room to avoid running into Wu Lingxiang. Even though he was wearing a mask, he still wanted to be safe rather than sorry.
However,
Ye Chenfeng was completely overthinking it.
Wu Lingxiang, whose temperament was cold and aloof, had also not taken a single step out of her own room since boarding the Spirit Boat.
From time to time Wu Gui would drag Wu Lingyu along to Ye Chenfeng’s room.
This Spirit Boat was the fastest one owned by the Wus’ headquarters.
As long as there were enough Spirit Stones to sustain it,
this Spirit Boat could display a speed comparable to that of a Peak of Divine Venerable Realm great-perfection powerhouse, maintaining that kind of extreme speed while rushing forward.
So,
after several hours of travel,
this Spirit Boat of the Wus’ headquarters arrived at their destination, the Ancient City of Dragon Soul.
As the Spirit Boat drew close to the Ancient City of Dragon Soul,
Ye Chenfeng, who was in his room aboard the Spirit Boat, suddenly furrowed his brows tightly, because the Dragon Clan Leader mark on his back actually showed faint signs of reacting.
Originally he had thought that the name "Ancient City of Dragon Soul" just happened to contain the character "Dragon."
Now it seemed it was definitely not that simple.
