Chapter 19 The Lion Faction

When Ye Feng arrived at the entrance of Shui Xuan Palace, he found that all his fellow disciples had arrived except for himself. After Ye Feng arrived, Shui Xuan gave everyone a few instructions, which were nothing more than to pay attention to the people of the Lion Sect and to strive for glory for the sect. After this mobilization, the senior brother Yang Qing led the team to fly towards the main peak.

This mission is open to all members of the Stardust Gate, and the final meeting point was naturally chosen to be on the main peak.

After Ye Feng and the others arrived at the main peak, they understood what Shui Xuan wanted to say before they left: to bring glory to their lineage. At this time, many disciples of the Star Dust Sect had already gathered at the main peak. Looking around, the disciples of the other four lineages combined numbered nearly a hundred. Compared to the six people from Ye Feng's lineage, the difference was indeed quite significant.

If we judge the outcome of this event solely by the number of participants, then there's no need to ask any further questions; Ye Feng and the others could go back to wash up and go to sleep.

Ye Feng and his group were the last of the five sects to arrive. After they arrived, Xing Tianyu spoke and asked the disciples of each sect to line up.

Such a group of people, who had never queued before, naturally did not stand very neatly. They were basically standing together with the disciples of their own lineage. With such a formation, Ye Feng's group of six seemed rather small.

"Wow, only six people came, and they're acting all high and mighty, making us wait." Someone in the crowd started to provoke them, apparently dissatisfied with Ye Feng and his group's late arrival.

Of course, they probably thought they were taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer of them. After all, although they were from the same sect, they weren't exactly on good terms. So, someone started to provoke them in order to make their master look good. But can this really make them look good?
The reason Ye Feng and the others arrived late was because the main peak was the furthest from Master Shui Xuan's mountain range. Unfortunately, Master Shui Xuan's lineage had the lowest prestige within the sect, and they were only assigned the mountain range furthest from the main peak. Naturally, it took Ye Feng and the others more time to get there.

However, it's obvious that someone on the other side is deliberately trying to cause trouble. Explaining these nonsense is pointless; in fact, people might think you're a coward. Ye Feng is currently considering whether to go up and beat this guy up.

Of course, Ye Feng only thought about it; he wouldn't actually make a move. He'd seen this kind of thing countless times, like the trash-talking in games before—it was all too common. Now wasn't the time to take action. Ye Feng secretly remembered this provocative guy, waiting to settle the score with him later.

However, although Ye Feng was thinking of letting this guy go for the time being, his teammates disagreed, especially Shi Lei, a hot-tempered guy. Just as Ye Feng was thinking, Shi Lei rushed up and threw a hook punch at the guy without saying a word.

This action surprised Ye Feng a little. "You're a man of action, huh? So that's what you meant by arguing first and then taking action. Oh well, anyway, you're awesome, buddy. I give you thirty-two thumbs up."

Ye Feng's mind was in turmoil, but the situation on the field was far from optimistic; Shi Lei's fist was about to strike.

When the guy on the other side saw Shi Lei rushing over to make a move, he was initially stunned, but he was quick-witted and soon recovered.

However, due to his momentary lapse in concentration, he was no longer able to turn the tables. Facing the fist that was about to land on his face, the guy obviously didn't want to be hit in the face, so he had no choice but to raise his hand to block the attack. At the same time, he made up his mind how to retaliate and deal with the big guy in front of him after blocking the attack.

Although the fight broke out in an instant, and both seemed impulsive, they both maintained a minimum level of composure, at least refraining from using weapons. Clearly, they didn't want to escalate the situation.

However, because the two acted so quickly, no one around them could react in time. Xing Tianyu and the two elders, who were about to speak, also didn't have time to react. No, even if they had reacted, the distance between them wouldn't have been enough for them to catch up.

"Boom..."

Shi Lei's punch landed squarely on the man's hand, and the man was knocked several steps to the side before regaining his balance.

The guy, who was confident he could easily block the attack, clearly didn't expect the punch to be so powerful. Although he took a few steps back and regained his footing, his initial plans for follow-up attacks were now useless.

However, he did not think he was weaker than Shi Lei. This guy was obviously just a little stronger. He was immediately unconvinced and wanted to rush up and fight again.

Ye Feng secretly glanced at the guy who had provoked him from the crowd. He was level 15, which was equivalent to a fifth-level Spirit Light martial artist. A fifth-level Spirit Light martial artist was actually beaten so badly by Shi Lei, a fourth-level Spirit Light martial artist. It seemed that Shi Lei's explosive power was really strong. Perhaps he had held back during the test.

Of course, the two who were about to rush forward to continue fighting were definitely not going to succeed, which was also within Ye Feng's expectations. At this time, in front of so many people, the only way to succeed was the very first blow. After that, the two would definitely be separated by everyone. In this light, it seems that Shi Lei still gained a little advantage.

As expected, the two were separated by the crowd, and Elder Wan appeared between them, clearly indicating that their fight could not continue.

"Fuck you, you just wait." The guy on the other side was clearly annoyed after suffering a small loss and started taunting him. "Come on, you little brat, watch me beat you to a pulp." Shi Lei wasn't going to back down either, and the scene became chaotic for a moment.

"Quiet!" A roar from Xing Tianyu silenced the crowd instantly. Everyone felt a pressure that made them afraid to speak. Ye Feng also felt the pressure and quickly used a Paladin's Purification to dispel the fear. He couldn't help but admire how powerful the sect leader was.

With Xing Tianyu having spoken, the farce naturally wouldn't continue, and the two obediently returned to their team to regroup.

When Shi Lei returned to the team, Ye Feng and the other five gave him a thumbs-up. They all smiled knowingly, understanding the meaning: well done.

"Elder Wan, these are your disciples, right? And that one over there, if I remember correctly, is a disciple of the Shui Xuan Sect, isn't he?" Xing Tianyu said calmly to Wan Chaowu.

"Yes, Sect Leader, this brat actually beat my disciple in public! He clearly doesn't respect us at all. Is this how Shui Xuan teaches his disciples?" Wan Chaowu said indignantly.

"Alright, let's leave this matter at that for now. We can discuss it with Shui Xuan when you return. But for now, the bigger picture is more important." Through the fight just now, Xing Tianyu could tell that Shi Lei's strength was not bad. Naturally, more strength would bring more gains on this trip. At this time, it was best to make a big deal out of a small matter and let it go. As the sect leader, Xing Tianyu was quite adept at handling these kinds of interests. Don't be fooled by his current bias towards Wan Chaowu. Things might change after this operation. Who would dare to bring up such a trivial matter after so much time has passed?

The farce came to an end, and Xing Tianyu continued with a speech and mobilization. Ye Feng and the others secretly remembered the troublemakers and Elder Wan's various underlings, knowing they would settle scores later if the opportunity arose.

Xing Tianyu didn't say much, just some words to encourage everyone. After he finished speaking, he gave everyone a storage bag. It was said that the elders had worked together to open the crack and use external methods to investigate the situation inside. They basically confirmed that there were many rare materials inside. In order not to affect the preservation of these rare materials, it was very necessary to give everyone a storage bag to keep them safe.

Of course, Xing Tianyu also reminded everyone not to hoard or fail to hand over any items after leaving the camp, otherwise they would lose all their cultivation. As long as they obediently handed over their items, Xing Tianyu promised them many benefits, even promising that those who participated in refining pills in the future could also share in the rewards.

"Using both kindness and severity, he truly is the makings of a leader," Ye Feng thought to himself as he watched Xing Tianyu speak.

After everyone received their storage bags, it was time to set off. This time, Elder Wan and Elder Cao would lead the way, and the two elders would escort them to the barrier. In addition, there were hundreds of disciples of the Starry Sky rank, which was enough to show how much importance the Starry Dust Sect attached to this mission.

If the common people saw hundreds of people levitating high in the sky, they would surely think it was a divine intervention, causing quite a stir.

Fortunately, everyone deliberately increased their flight altitude, and with the clouds in the sky as cover, people on the ground probably couldn't see them either. Even if they did occasionally see them, they would probably just think that birds were flying together in the sky from such a distance.

Traveling day and night, the group arrived at the legendary location of the barrier the next day.

To say that this is the location of the barrier is actually just an ordinary spot in a forest, surrounded by tall trees. It looks like a very ordinary place that wouldn't attract any attention.

However, since the elder had mentioned it, everyone present couldn't help but look around, searching for the legendary barrier.

"No need to look," Elder Wan interrupted everyone's searching gaze. "You can't see the barrier. Even we only discovered it by chance after obtaining information and searching carefully. It's behind that tallest tree. Of course, before it was activated, you couldn't see anything different at all." Elder Wan explained.

"You all rest here for a bit. Once we break through the barrier and the teleportation gate appears, you should go in." At this moment, Elder Cao took out something that looked like a ruler about ten feet long from his storage bag. "Breaking through the barrier will require Elder Wan and me to work together, and it will take quite a bit of time. You should take this opportunity to recover the spiritual energy you wasted on the journey."

Just as Elder Wan and Elder Cao were about to break the barrier, a laugh suddenly came from the sky, "Brother Wan Jianchao, how about I help you break the barrier?" As soon as the laughter ended, a burly man with dark skin descended from the sky and appeared in front of everyone.

Following this person's landing, over a hundred more people landed there. In terms of numbers, they were now on par with the Stardust Sect.

Everyone present was dressed in the same clothes, with a fierce lion on the front of their garments, confirming that they were indeed the Lion Clan, the formidable enemy of the Stardust Sect…
