Chapter 1718: Chapter 1718: The Senior Sister of Ninefold Mountain Is Actually...

"Hmph."

Yan Zhao glanced at the master sister who turned and looked toward the Shadow Wall Stone, secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Nine Layers Mountain is different from other sects in one aspect. In other sects, disciples are usually divided into ranks.

For example, Outer Sect, Inner Sect, direct disciples, and closed-door disciples. These disciples are also ranked based on their entry time, with earlier entrants as senior brothers, and later entrants can only be junior brothers unless you move from Outer to Inner Sect or from Inner to direct. Otherwise, you’re always a junior brother.

But Nine Layers Mountain is different.

Though it also ranks positions within, it’s based on strength. If you think you should be the master brother, then challenge them. As long as you defeat them, you’re the master brother. The whole Nine Layers Mountain doesn’t care about seniority; if you’re strong, you’re the boss.

This is also why Nine Layers Mountain is considered alternative by everyone. Yet this atmosphere of respecting the strong makes Nine Layers Mountain a uniquely different sect, and its disciples are more honorable and united than those of other sects.

And Nine Layers Mountain doesn’t have a master brother, only one master sister, which is a secret no one is willing to spread.

After all, Nine Layers Mountain is a world of men, with thousands suppressed by one woman, and anyone with some dignity is embarrassed to advertise it outside. The mentality of Ancestor Dragon City is still relatively feudal.

This master sister is arrogant within Nine Layers Mountain but restrained outside, at least not loudly proclaiming herself as the master sister of Nine Layers Mountain, so outsiders have remained unaware of this.

Who would have thought that master sister suddenly appeared and intervened directly, seemingly determined to ruin Li Feng?

You must know that this sub-area’s Mechanical Path is not only an assessment tool but also a defense facility. Usually, when activated, only thirty percent of the mechanism is turned on; after all, they are assessing disciples, not killing for fun.

It’s essential to exercise caution.

But when all mechanisms are activated, it becomes not an assessment but a genuine deadly trial.

Just didn’t know how Li Feng offended this master sister. He heard that master sister didn’t fall for Li Feng, yet made a three-year promise with him, and this has spread throughout Nine Layers Mountain.

This is why when Yan Zhao saw Li Feng before, he was quite hostile, even looking down on him.

How could someone with such a slender build catch the eye of their master sister?

Hmm.

This Master Sister of Nine Layers Mountain is actually the eldest daughter of the Sikong family, Sikong Yu. Few know that the eldest Sikong daughter joined Nine Layers Mountain and fought her way to the position of master sister.

Yan Zhao was completely puzzled, unaware, but the maid Qing Yi beside him knew a bit of the reason. The news of Li Feng’s battle in the Underground Palace City hadn’t reached most ears, but to the Sikong noble lady who constantly monitors Li Feng, the news had reached her before Li Feng returned home.

Even Sikong Miao forced Li Feng to become her arranged husband, and Sikong Yu already knows.

However, Sikong Yu was unaware of what happened within the Li Family, only knowing Sikong Miao went to the Li Family and then returned to the Sikong family to tell her biological mother she wanted to bring Li Feng into her family, aiming for a snatch.

This is why Sikong Yu is displeased. Although she hasn’t fallen for Li Feng, she thinks Li Feng is a good tool.

He could help her avoid marrying those so-called well-matched suitors, and because he awakened the Vermilion Bird bloodline, he could alleviate the family’s thin bloodline situation. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

So Sikong Yu has already considered Li Feng hers, but now her half-sister wants to snatch someone she’s already taken interest in, and the other party hasn’t seemed to object.

Sikong Yu is naturally agitated.

Even though the eldest daughter didn’t directly express that intention, it’s still wrong for anyone to dare take an interest in Sikong Miao.

Sikong Yu, with her maid, directly struck down the Sixth Ring, halfway hearing the spy’s report that Li Feng had arrived in West City, she pursued him, then saw Li Feng reach Nine Layers Mountain’s Force Measuring Platform and hit with a Nine Tripods Power.

The more arrogant Li Feng appeared, the more annoyed Sikong Yu felt.

It seemed like Li Feng was intentionally flaunting, sticking gold on his face, to secure some leverage to join the Sikong family.

Sikong Yu wouldn’t let Li Feng off easily.

Sikong Yu folded her arms in front, smirking coldly at the Shadow Wall Stone, and inside the Mechanical Path, Li Feng felt his entire body on edge, this life-and-death crisis, shadow following sensation, was genuinely long-missed, although the Underground Palace City was dangerous, it was not as thrilling as the Mechanical Path.

Qing Yi shifted her gaze to the Mechanical Path, watching as Li Feng narrowly escaped death multiple times, avoiding mechanisms that even made her scalp tingle. Yet the rolling stone shadow was ever-present, if he slowed a bit, Li Feng’s outcome would be a pulp.

"Miss, you wouldn’t really want to kill him, would you?"

Qing Yi swallowed a gulp, sneaking a peek at her noble lady. "Third Miss’s words aren’t confirmed, what if he dies...!"

"Dead is dead, it only means he doesn’t have the fate to be the arranged husband of my Sikong family."

"If he passes through this Mechanical Path...?"

Sikong Yu sneered, biting her lips lightly. "The final stage of Martial Arts Five Gates, I’ll take him on personally, I can fulfill him with my own hands."

Qing Yi immediately fell silent, knowing that her miss was still fuming, Li Feng could only rely on his luck.

Sikong Yu, aside from being annoyed, was more eager, Li Feng wiped out more than thirty Golden Core during the battle in Underground Palace City, achieving much with few, and once the news spreads, it will undoubtedly cause a sensation.

Especially, this guy faced the Zeng family last time, just merely awakening the bloodline, but less than ten days passed, he breached the bloodline barrier, reawakened the bloodline talent, Undying Body.

This speed, even the Sikong family, claiming the Vermilion Bird lineage, felt envious, otherwise, this sister of hers, with grandiose claims of joining the Eight Royal Families, would never voluntarily ask Li Feng to be an arranged husband.

Sikong Yu, the epitome of her generation within the Sikong family, with innate talent, over twenty years old already achieving Golden Core Middle Stage Perfection, setting a record in the Sikong family not seen in five hundred years.

Seeing the same Vermilion Bird bloodline possessing and demonstrating such talent as Li Feng, it’s hard not to be eager. Earlier she thought waiting three years before this Li Feng was qualified to fight her.

Now, if Li Feng could come out alive, Sikong Yu felt she could give Li Feng an opportunity.

If he could endure without embarrassingly losing to her, maybe reluctantly, she might consider allowing him to be her arranged husband.

Hmph, as for that Sikong Miao, who dares to take what she’s set her sights on, from childhood until now, anyone dares to take what the eldest lady desires.
