Chapter 1102: Excellent Training Material
Although Yi Feng didn't take it seriously, the others from the Tianyin Sect were enraged, awakened from their shock, and began to shout in anger.
"You... you have some nerve!"
"How dare you ambush an elder of our Tianyin Sect? You deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
"You pretty boy, you have no idea what's coming for you!"
"Don't think that just because you've reached the Half-Saint level, you can look down on everyone. You clearly don't know how vast the world is!"
Several old men, trembling with rage and fear, pointed their delicate fingers at Yi Feng, hurling threats. However, with just a single glance from Yi Feng, their faces turned pale, and their eyes filled with fear. They quickly muttered a few incantations and fled in panic.
"Just you wait! We'll be back!"
"The Tianyin Sect will never let this go!"
Watching them flee in disarray, Yi Feng remained calm and composed.
"Good, I'll be waiting."
He was confident he could eliminate these troublemakers on the spot, but he decided to wait a little longer. It would be better to wipe out the entire Tianyin Sect in one go. Otherwise, Song Village might suffer the consequences in the future.
His fearless words naturally caused Song Decai to panic once again.
"Young Master Yi, you should leave as soon as possible. The Tianyin Sect has many members, and even if you're a Half-Saint, you're no match for them."
Song Yuting also anxiously tried to persuade him.
"Young Master Yi, you..."
Before the father and daughter could finish, Yi Feng firmly interrupted, "I take full responsibility for my actions. There's no need to say more."
Yi Feng never considered himself a true master. Even so, in his eyes, the Tianyin Sect was nothing more than a ragtag group of troublemakers. Moreover, having witnessed these old men causing chaos and having eaten at Song Village, he had no intention of backing down, both for personal and public reasons.
At the very least, he estimated his cultivation to be at the peak of the Saint level. Why should he fear a bunch of old men?
Seeing Yi Feng's unwavering resolve, the Song father and daughter fell silent, deeply impressed by his sense of responsibility. They quietly instructed everyone in the village to prepare for battle.
Especially Song Yuting, who noticed that beneath Yi Feng's refined exterior lay the true courage and responsibility of a great man. Her eyes sparkled with admiration, and her expression gradually grew more determined.
Within moments, Song Village was filled with a tense atmosphere of impending battle.
Even as an outsider, Yi Feng was willing to risk his life to help. How could they cower in fear?
...
In a valley not far away.
Flowers bloomed in abundance, competing in beauty.
Amidst the vibrant spring scenery stood numerous courtyards and halls, exuding the grandeur of a major sect. From a distance, it resembled a legendary fairyland for women, filled with a soft, enchanting aura.
In reality.
The hall was filled with male cultivators, all of advanced age but with smooth, youthful skin and no trace of facial hair, as if they had mastered the art of preserving their youth.
This was the main hall of the Tianyin Sect, and those seated were all elders of the sect.
They had been sitting in silence for some time when a voice announced:
"The Sect Leader has arrived!"
A graceful figure flew in from above, and the elders on both sides rose to their feet, bowing in respect.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
The handsome figure took his seat at the head of the hall and waved his hand with a cheerful smile.
"Elders, there's no need for formalities."
The elders slowly rose, and upon noticing the faint stubble on the Sect Leader's face, they were filled with awe and envy. They began to shower him with praise, each compliment more elaborate than the last.
"Sect Leader, have you mastered the divine technique?"
"Sect Leader, your talent is unparalleled. You've truly reached the sixth level of the Tianyin Profound Technique, achieving the state of gathering yang to restore youth. We are in awe!"
"In just a few years, Sect Leader, you will surely master the ninth level, reclaiming your masculine vigor and reaching an unparalleled realm!"
"With just a fraction of your talent, Sect Leader, we could dominate the entire Lan Star!"
Amidst the flattery, Sect Leader Luo Buqun couldn't help but smile.
"Hahaha, you flatter me too much!"
Though his words were modest, the smile on his face betrayed his immense pride. He glanced around the hall with satisfaction, casually stroking his sparse stubble, subtly flaunting his unique achievement. The elders watched with envy.
Feeling the increasingly heated gazes, Luo Buqun began his daily routine of inspiring his followers.
"Elders, there's no need to rush."
"I have grasped the key to the Tianyin Profound Technique. As long as you can break through to the fifth level, and with enough pure yang bodies to nourish you with their yang energy, you will one day surpass even me. It's not impossible for all of you to reach the ninth level and reclaim your masculine forms!"
"Our top priority now is to capture more pure yang bodies. Once I master the divine technique, I will pass on the profound techniques to you, and rewards will be distributed based on merit."
"As long as you remain loyal to the sect, the sect will never let you down!"
With the Sect Leader's stubble as proof, this motivational speech was incredibly effective.
Instantly.
The elders rose to their feet, their faces flushed with excitement, and they bowed deeply, as if they had regained some of their masculine vigor.
"We will go through fire and water for the sect!"
Just as the hall was filled with fervor.
Suddenly!
Several panicked figures rushed in, falling to their knees and crying out in distress.
"Sect Leader! Sect Leader!"
"Something terrible has happened! Song Village has a powerful ally. Fifth Elder was ambushed and killed! You must avenge him!"
Hearing this, Luo Buqun's eyes turned cold.
"Outrageous!"
"How dare Song Village defy the Tianyin Sect? Who have they allied with to dare harm our Fifth Elder?"
The elders also turned their angry gazes toward the messengers.
Under the oppressive atmosphere, the lead messenger trembled as he stood up, the pressure making him feel as if a mountain was bearing down on him.
"R-reporting to the Sect Leader!"
"Song Village has allied with a Half-Saint. Fifth Elder, seeing that he was a pure yang body, kindly invited him to join us. But who would have thought he harbored murderous intent? In a moment of carelessness, Fifth Elder was ambushed and killed!"
As he spoke, the messenger's face was tear-stained, and he gently cast a spell.
A handsome image appeared in the air.
Bright eyes, white teeth, and a face as smooth as jade!
Truly a youthful and handsome young man, especially those clear eyes, which were unforgettable!
As Yi Feng's image rippled into view, Luo Buqun's heart grew warm, and the elders' eyes also showed a strange glint, their initial anger fading slightly.
After a moment of contemplation, Luo Buqun urgently asked, "This person is the Half-Saint? And he's truly a pure yang body?"
The messenger was momentarily stunned but quickly replied truthfully.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, he is indeed a Half-Saint and a pure yang body. His cultivation level was confirmed by his own words, and there's no doubt he was the one who ambushed Fifth Elder!"
Tsk tsk tsk...
Luo Buqun couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration, almost drooling.
A Half-Saint pure yang body, and such a handsome young man.
A treasure.
Truly an excellent training material!
If it were just an ordinary powerful enemy, he would have been furious, but at most, he would have sent a Saint-level elder to deal with the matter, showcasing the Tianyin Sect's might and calming the sect's morale.
After all, the life of one elder couldn't compare to the importance of finding pure yang bodies!
But upon learning of Yi Feng's existence, Luo Buqun was itching with anticipation.
He couldn't wait to put on an act of rage and immediately issued an order.
"Ahem..."
"Such a bloody feud cannot be left unsettled!"
"First Elder, Second Elder, the two of you will go personally. Capture him alive and bring him back. I will personally avenge Fifth Elder!"
The elders were shocked but quickly bowed in respect.
"As you command!"
Seeing the entire hall bowing in reverence, Luo Buqun's eyes gleamed with authority.
He retracted the image spell and examined it closely for a few moments, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
Such a handsome young man with Half-Saint cultivation. Given Song Village's limited resources, it was unlikely they could offer anything to attract him.
Unless... the Song family's daughter had offered herself.
Suddenly, Luo Buqun felt that something was amiss.
Although he had no interest in Song Yuting, he had to admit that she was indeed a beauty, with the grace of a noble lady. If the Half-Saint had come for her, it was possible that he was no longer a pure yang body!
Thinking this, Luo Buqun's gaze turned stern once more.
"Wait."
After casting a few complex spells, a strand of his divine consciousness flew toward the First Elder.
"To be safe, I will send a strand of my divine consciousness with you. This mission not only concerns the Tianyin Sect's reputation but also involves avenging Fifth Elder. You must not be careless!"
As he gently stroked his stubble, Luo Buqun's authority seemed to grow even stronger.
Instantly, the elders and the messenger were deeply moved.
Even though they were only dealing with a Half-Saint, the Sect Leader had dispatched two Saint-level elders and even sent his divine consciousness to oversee the mission. Such importance clearly showed the Sect Leader's fury!
Even Fifth Elder's spirit in the afterlife would be at peace!
The two Saint-level elders were filled with determination, confident of their success.
"Sect Leader, rest assured. We will capture that Half-Saint with our own hands!"
With a solemn bow, the two powerful Saint-level elders flew off. Through his divine consciousness, Luo Buqun observed everything, a subtle glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
Soon, they arrived at Song Village, bathed in the glow of dusk!
