The Demon Sealing Conference

Chapter 13: The Demon Sealing Conference

Translator: Krukist  

At this moment, Qiu Wanfeng looked at the thatched cottage before him with a mocking expression, his eyes glinting with coldness. His Lingyun Sect, the largest sect in the outer regions of the Starry Mountain Range, didn't dare to use the name "Divine Immortal" for itself. Yet, this insignificant sect, with its thatched cottage as its headquarters, had the audacity to do so. Truly, they had no sense of self-preservation!

However, just as he was thinking this, Qiu Wanfeng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. It was as if a pair of terrifying eyes were staring at him, and he felt as though he were half a step away from death.

Boom!

In the next moment, under Qiu Wanfeng's horrified gaze, a palm strike shot out from the thatched cottage at an unimaginable speed, striking him before he could even react.

Bang!

A terrifying force slammed into him, sending Qiu Wanfeng flying. He crashed into the ground far away, causing the earth to crack and shatter, sending debris flying in all directions. A human-shaped crater was left in the ground.

"Cough, cough!"

Qiu Wanfeng coughed up blood as he struggled to climb out of the crater, his face filled with shock and fear. When he looked up, he saw three figures slowly walking out of the thatched cottage.

The leader was a young man dressed in luxurious robes, flanked by a stunningly beautiful woman on his left and a burly man with a fierce, menacing expression on his right.

These three were none other than Wang Feng, Yue, and Xuansha.

Wang Feng looked at the heavily injured and disheveled Qiu Wanfeng, shaking his head and sighing softly. This was the first time he had encountered someone so reckless and foolish.

Just as Wang Feng and Yue had appeared in the thatched cottage, they had heard Qiu Wanfeng's mocking words. Before Wang Feng could even react, Yue had already struck out with a palm, leading to the current situation.

Wang Feng didn't blame Yue. Someone as foul-mouthed as Qiu Wanfeng deserved to be taught a lesson, even if it meant killing him. In fact, if Yue hadn't acted, Wang Feng would have done so himself. He couldn't tolerate anyone insulting the Divine Immortal Sect he had founded.

Beside Wang Feng, Xuansha, also glared coldly at Qiu Wanfeng. If Yue hadn't acted, he would have done so himself. Although he had only temporarily joined the Divine Immortal Sect for a year, as long as he was here, no one could insult the sect!

Moreover, the longer he stayed in the Divine Immortal Sect and the more secrets he uncovered, the more Xuansha felt the desire to remain in the sect permanently.

Even now, Xuansha didn't fully understand the true depth of the Divine Immortal Sect's power. But as a hidden ancient sect, it was worthy of his allegiance.

"Who are you? How dare you attack 'this venerable one'?" Qiu Wanfeng demanded, gritting his teeth against the pain and suppressing the fear in his heart as he stared at Wang Feng and the others.

Although he had been severely injured by Yue's palm strike, Qiu Wanfeng hadn't sensed any cultivation aura from the attack. Therefore, he assumed that he had been caught off guard and ambushed by Wang Feng and his group.

Naturally, Qiu Wanfeng was furious. As the Grand Elder of the Lingyun Sect, he had been sneak-attacked and severely injured. If word got out, his reputation would be ruined! Moreover, he was the Grand Elder of the Lingyun Sect. How dare these people ambush him? Did they think the Lingyun Sect was made of clay?

Of course, even though Qiu Wanfeng believed he had been ambushed, the fact that these people could severely injure him with a single strike meant they were no ordinary individuals. Thus, while he questioned them, his tone was somewhat subdued.

If it weren't for the fact that he was backed by the Lingyun Sect, he would have swallowed his pride and accepted the situation. After all, he was heavily injured, and the other side had the numbers. As the saying goes, a wise man knows when to retreat. He could always seek revenge later.

But he was the Grand Elder of the Lingyun Sect, and the Lingyun Sect was a major power in the outer regions of the Starry Mountain Range. This gave Qiu Wanfeng some confidence. He believed that once he revealed his identity, these people wouldn't dare to oppose him.

"Who am I? A mere Entering Sovereign Realm cultivator dares to call himself 'this venerable one'? Tsk tsk, I never thought there would be someone even more arrogant than I was back in the day!" Xuansha, standing beside Wang Feng, sneered with a mocking tone.

Wang Feng waved his hand, and Xuan Sha immediately stopped his taunts, standing respectfully by Wang Feng's side. Wang Feng narrowed his eyes, looking down at Qiu Wanfeng, and said in a deep voice, "You, what is your name? Why did you insult my Divine Immortal Sect?"

"The Divine Immortal Sect? You're from this insignificant little sect?" Qiu Wanfeng was stunned for a moment, instinctively blurting out. He hadn't expected that the person who had severely injured him with a sneak attack was from the very sect he had just mocked.

How was this possible? How could a small sect with a thatched cottage as its headquarters have such a powerful expert? To severely injure him with a single strike, the attacker must at least be at the peak of the General Realm, or even at the Entering Sovereign Realm.

"Beat him until he talks!" Wang Feng narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, signaling his approval. This person was still running his mouth even in this situation. He truly deserved a beating!

"Yes, Sect Master! Tsk tsk, daring to insult our Divine Immortal Sect in front of the Sect Master? You have a death wish!" Hearing Wang Feng's words, Xuansha's expression turned cold. He cracked his knuckles and strode toward Qiu Wanfeng with a menacing grin.

"What are you doing? How dare you! I am the Grand Elder of the Lingyun Sect! If you dare lay a hand on me, the Lingyun Sect will make sure you suffer a fate worse than death!"

However, Xuansha paid no attention to Qiu Wanfeng's threats. Standing over two meters tall, he grabbed the heavily injured Qiu Wanfeng like a chicken and dragged him more than ten meters away.

"The Lingyun Sect? Never heard of it. A mere small sect dares to mock the Divine Immortal Sect? You deserve to die!"

As Xuansha's large hand reached out, Qiu Wanfeng desperately tried to channel his energy to break free. But in an instant, his expression changed drastically. He realized that the power he had unleashed was like a drop of water falling into the ocean—it had no effect whatsoever.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In less than a moment, the valley echoed with the sound of fists striking flesh, accompanied by faint groans of pain.

"Stop... stop hitting me... I'll talk!"

Hearing this barely audible plea, Wang Feng waved his hand, signaling Xuansha to stop.

Xuansha dragged Qiu Wanfeng back to Wang Feng, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

Looking at Qiu Wanfeng's swollen, pig-like face, Wang Feng almost couldn't bear to look. He sighed softly and said, "If only you had cooperated earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this. You brought this upon yourself, you fool!"

Did you even give me a chance to speak? I just instinctively retorted, and you beat me to a pulp. What was I supposed to say?

Qiu Wanfeng screamed internally, but with his face swollen beyond recognition, he couldn't even speak.

"The Sect Master told you to talk, so hurry up!" Seeing Qiu Wanfeng hesitating, Xuansha glared and slapped him on the head. This slap, however, actually gave Qiu Wanfeng a chance to catch his breath.

Xuansha's slap wasn't just for show—he had infused a trace of Profound Qi into it to slightly heal Qiu Wanfeng's body. Without this infusion, Qiu Wanfeng's battered form would likely have remained mute.

"My name is Qiu Wanfeng, and I am the Grand Elder of the Lingyun Sect, the largest sect on the outskirts of the Starry Mountain Range. I have come here to investigate the aura of a General Realm expert that appeared in this valley!"

"Hmm? Why are you investigating that General Realm aura?" Wang Feng's eyes narrowed as he asked, his tone cold. This aura, wasn't it from Ling Feiwu, who had just broken through to the General Realm?

Wang Feng hadn't expected that what seemed like a reckless act was actually related to his disciple in the Divine Immortal Sect. This naturally made Wang Feng pay more attention.

"The Demon Sealing Conference is approaching, and our Lingyun Sect doesn't have a General Realm disciple. We are unable to compete for a rank in the Demon Sealing Ranking. Therefore, we must seek out talented disciples from outside and bring them back to the sect!" Qiu Wanfeng didn't dare to hide the truth and confessed, knowing that lying could bring dire consequences.

He was deeply terrified of the Great Demon Xuansha. The punches, not only striking his body, felt as though they were hammering into his very soul, tormenting both his body and spirit.

"The Demon Sealing Conference? The Demon Sealing Ranking? What's that?" Wang Feng asked, feigning ignorance with a look of surprise.

"You don't know?" Hearing Wang Feng's confused tone, Qiu Wanfeng froze. Then he realized it wasn't surprising that such a small, uncouth sect wouldn't know about the Demon Sealing Conference.

"Speak!" The Great Demon Xuansha's eyes glowed fiercely as he barked.

At Xuansha's command, Qiu Wanfeng's body shuddered, and he immediately began to explain: "The Demon Sealing Conference is an event organized by the Imperial Family of the Radiant Sun Empire. It is a grand event held once every ten years and invites all sects within the empire!"

"The purpose of the Demon Sealing Conference is to suppress and seal the Great Demon Xuansha, who wreaked havoc across the entire Radiant Sun Empire a thousand years ago! Even though Xuansha was sealed, his pure demonic aura continues to leak out, causing the places where he was sealed to be tainted by the released demonic energy!"

"And so, the Demon Sealing Conference gathers the strongest experts from all sects within the empire to kill the beasts that have been corrupted by this demonic energy, weakening the Great Demon's strength!"

"However, this time, only the younger generation of disciples has been summoned to participate. Therefore, all sects are frantically training their disciples and seeking out hidden geniuses to ensure they can claim the top spot in the tournament!"

Wang Feng's eyes flashed with a gleam of interest as he looked meaningfully at the trembling Great Demon Xuansha standing beside him.
