Chapter 1131: Who Are They Paying Respects To

Yi Feng hurriedly found a patch of grass.

As his body felt relieved, his mood slightly eased.

Just as he was about to get up, Yi Feng instinctively reached into his pocket, only to find it empty.

Instantly.

Yi Feng's expression froze, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

Upon closer inspection of his sleeves, he found nothing either, and the relieved expression on his face stiffened.

"Damn it..."

"I didn't bring any paper!"

He truly hadn't expected that after just blessing someone else, he would find himself in this situation.

What the hell.

He had never heard that blessings could come with a "Seven Injuries Fist" buff.

What an awkward coincidence.

Yi Feng wasn't too panicked, though. With his extensive experience in wilderness survival, this little issue was nothing.

Without even needing to think, he pulled out a novel from his storage ring. Unfortunately, the pages were too small, only slightly larger than the palm of his hand. He had to tear out several pages before it was enough.

Truly, you only regret not having enough books when you need them.

After finishing up, Yi Feng's expression noticeably improved.

Feeling relieved, he returned, his mind also clearing up a bit.

"This time, that sneaky expert beat me to it, and all my efforts were in vain, but it's not all bad. Since there's someone who can take down that 'Slaughter Whatever' guy with a single sword strike, it means this place isn't short of experts. That 'Slaughter Whatever' guy isn't some rare find after all."

"Lan Xing is indeed impressive. There are plenty of experts here, and opportunities abound!"

"I need to figure out a way to gather some intel on that expert..."

As he muttered to himself while walking, Yi Feng felt a bit more at ease.

Suddenly, a few disciples ran up ahead, their brows relaxed as they smiled and bowed in greeting!

"Elder Yi is here!"

"Elder Yi, where have you been? The two elders have been looking everywhere for you!"

"Ah, I was just checking to make sure there were no more disciples from the Chixiao Heavenly Sect around," Yi Feng casually lied, then followed the two back.

The two disciples didn't think much of it, their faces filled with reverence.

When Yi Feng returned.

The two elders and the disciples all gathered around, bowing and seeking instructions, already treating him as their backbone, showing even more respect than when they had set out.

"Elder Yi, now that the Chixiao Heavenly Sect has been destroyed, should we return?"

"Elder Yi, that expert's cultivation is extraordinary. This matter is of great importance. Shouldn't we report it to the sect leader immediately? What do you think?"

Seeing the two elders bowing, Yi Feng nodded.

He had already prepared his response, and it flowed out smoothly.

"Yes, that expert is indeed very powerful. Reporting to the sect leader is urgent!"

"However, since this matter is settled, and we've completed our mission, with no more threat from the Chixiao Heavenly Sect, there's no need to be too tense. Everyone has been working hard these past few days. Why don't we find a nearby city, have some drinks, and relax? Consider it a celebration for our team."

As soon as he said this, the disciples' eyes lit up with joy.

After spending a few days together, they had already developed a deep respect for Yi Feng. This newly arrived elder was not only brave and led them in battle, caring deeply for the sect, but he also knew how to reward his subordinates at the right time. Who wouldn't like such an elder?

Instantly, the surrounding disciples were filled with enthusiasm, their excitement evident on their faces.

The two elders were no different.

After going through several twists and turns, their opinion of Yi Feng had improved significantly. Although this celebration and drinking might seem a bit carefree, with the major task completed, it wasn't entirely inappropriate.

The fat and thin elders led the way in bowing, and the surrounding disciples erupted in cheers!

"We obey Elder Yi's command!"

"We obey Elder Yi's command!"

"We obey Elder Yi's command!"

In the blink of an eye.

Yi Feng, along with the two elders, led the disciples into the clouds. The group was filled with joy, and Yi Feng, at the forefront, felt quite pleased with himself.

Later, he would let these people go drink while he slipped away, riding his horse to gather some intel. If he could find traces of that mysterious team of experts...

Then, he could pretend to be a disciple of the Chixiao Heavenly Sect.

Hehe.

Everything would fall into place!

After a minor setback, a brilliant plan had instantly formed in his mind. Everything was going so perfectly, and success seemed within reach.

Yi Feng, oh Yi Feng, you're truly a genius!

The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Beside him, the two elders were also infected by the mood, their eyes filled with the joy of a mission accomplished.

When they saw a city appear on the ground below, their spirits lifted even more.

They quickly bowed, their respect increasing tenfold.

"Elder Yi!"

"There's a city below. It looks prosperous, so there must be some good taverns. What do you think?"

Yi Feng waved his hand.

"Good, let's go there!"

For him, it didn't matter which city they went to. Whether there were good taverns or not was irrelevant, as he wasn't actually going to drink.

Seeing Yi Feng's magnanimity, the group's admiration for him grew even stronger.

As Yi Feng descended and landed outside the city, everyone gradually showed signs of joy, the atmosphere of celebration taking hold.

Just as everyone was about to enter the city, Yi Feng pretended to have some urgent business and excused himself.

"Everyone, please go ahead and celebrate. I have some urgent matters to attend to and will join you shortly!"

The two elders looked suspicious.

Before they could ask any questions, Yi Feng had already flown off into the distance.

Watching his hurried figure disappear into the clouds, it seemed like he really did have urgent business. But since the major task was completed and Yi Feng had personally given the order, they didn't press further.

"Since Elder Yi has urgent matters, we'll go ahead and enter the city."

Exchanging a glance, the two elders led the disciples toward the city gate.

The city gate was far less imposing than the Moon God Pavilion's main entrance, but it still had a certain grandeur.

The gate was about seven zhang high, adorned with intricate carvings, and from a distance, it looked quite impressive. There were several guards on either side, and a steady stream of people of all kinds was entering and exiting, making the place seem bustling.

After days of hard work, the elders and disciples were mentally exhausted. Seeing such a lively scene, they immediately felt more relaxed.

The team entered the city, their eyes filled with relief.

But shortly after they passed through the gate, a burly man suddenly widened his eyes!

"Damn it!"

"This! This, this, this!"

The man exclaimed in shock, his voice reverberating through the area!

He never expected to encounter this group of people again, the very ones who had frequently appeared in his thoughts over the past few days.

"I pay my respects to you, esteemed seniors!"

"I am Fang Hai. A few days ago, I had the fortune of witnessing your extraordinary prowess, and it has left an indelible mark on my life. To meet you again today is a great honor!"

"You, esteemed seniors, are truly righteous and heroic. Please accept this humble bow from me!"

The man bowed deeply in the middle of the street, his voice shaking the surroundings!

Many of the passing cultivators knew of Fang Hai's reputation and were also well aware of the recent rumors. Seeing this former disciple of the Wanyue Heavenly Sect bowing so respectfully in the middle of the street, their hearts were filled with shock!

Almost everyone knew that Fang Hai was one of the few eyewitnesses who had seen that mysterious group of experts.

For Fang Hai to be so excited, and to bow so respectfully in front of hundreds of people, referring to the seniors he had seen a few days ago...

It could only be the legendary mysterious team!

In an instant, everyone was wide awake.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes trembled as they focused on the group of over thirty people!

Immediately!

Everyone's eyes shook, and the sound of bows and greetings rose like a tidal wave!

"We pay our respects to you, esteemed seniors!!!"

"We pay our respects to you, esteemed seniors!!!"

"We pay our respects to you, esteemed seniors!!!"

In just a few moments, hundreds of people bowed down in unison, their voices shaking the heavens. The sea of black figures prostrating before them was a sight to behold, the sheer volume of their voices like the roar of an army!

The scene was truly unprecedented.

Even a sect leader would rarely receive such a grand reception, right?!

Elders Wang and Li had just entered the city gate when they were met with this spectacle. They were completely stunned, and the thirty elite disciples behind them were equally bewildered.

Glancing back, they saw that even behind them, people were bowing!

The entire area fell silent.

The two elders exchanged puzzled glances, their eyes filled with immense surprise!

"Who are they paying respects to? Could it be... us?"
