CHAPTER 1564: CHAPTER 1555: ADMITTING FAULT AND APOLOGIZING

Ye Chenfeng calmly accepted being addressed as ’Master’ by Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an.

However, Ye Chenfeng was not about to let these two old men call him Master for nothing. At the very least, he could gain some knowledge about formations from Old Bai and Old Hei and then pass it on to these two old men. This way, Ye Chenfeng would be worthy of being called Master by them.

"Master, what exactly is happening here?" Zeng Guangyuan, who was at the Middle Stage of the First Heaven of the Nirvana Realm, asked.

Qian Rong’an, at the Peak of the First Heaven of the Nirvana Realm, also said, "Master, is someone here bullying you?"

The words of Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an reached the ears of the rest of the people present, causing them, who had initially been in shock, to regain some of their ability to think.

The Red Flame Sect Law Enforcement Hall Elder, Wu Dongyuan, along with his two grandsons, Wu Li and Wu Nan, felt a tingling sensation on their scalps, as if there was a storm in their minds. They couldn’t believe that Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an had lost their minds. So, was it actually true that Ye Chenfeng, in the Divine Thought Realm, was the master of Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an?

Not far away, lying on the ground with blood at the corners of her mouth, Zheng Mei felt guilty for being unable to help her disciple, Sun Xiaoli.

However, the situation took a complete 180-degree turn. Previously, Zheng Mei had considered many possibilities, but she would never have predicted this outcome, even if she had thought till exhaustion.

As for Sun Xiaoli, Sun Hengfei, and the other two who were still kneeling and hadn’t stood up yet, their eyes were filled with disbelief. Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an were peerless masters in the Nirvana Realm, holding the highest status in the Red Flame Sect. Usually, upon seeing these two old figures, all major disciples would tremble in fear.

In the eyes of Sun Xiaoli, Sun Hengfei, and the others, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an stood at the top of the pyramid in the Earth Profound Realm. However, such masters were now respectfully addressing Ye Chenfeng as Master?

Sun Xiaoli and Sun Hengfei wondered if it was all an illusion. Unconsciously, they pinched the flesh on their arms. After feeling the pain, they confirmed that everything before them was not an illusion, yet it only made them even more unsettled.

Earlier, being pressured by Wu Dongyuan’s aura, Ye Chenfeng broke out in a sweat. He pulled the Black Xuan Sword out of the ground.

Ye Chenfeng looked calmly at Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, saying, "Alright, since you two insist on calling me Master, I will stay in the Red Flame Sect for a while. During this time, I will pass on various formation knowledge to you. How much you can comprehend depends on you two."

Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an could feel Ye Chenfeng’s sincerity in his serious expression. After Ye Chenfeng’s previous guidance, they both had immense respect for Ye Chenfeng’s accomplishments in formations.

Now that Ye Chenfeng agreed to teach them various formation knowledge, how could Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an not be overjoyed? Their desire for formations wasn’t something ordinary people could understand.

Imagine that Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an had been researching formations for hundreds of years and were still only somewhat knowledgeable. Yet, they never gave up on studying formations. This shows that they were obsessed with formations to an extent beyond comprehension.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an excitedly expressed their gratitude, finding no awkwardness in calling Ye Chenfeng Master. In their view, Ye Chenfeng’s proficiency in formations far surpassed theirs, and he had agreed to teach them formation knowledge.

Therefore, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an considered it perfectly reasonable to call Ye Chenfeng Master.

Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an’s open-minded and free-spirited mentality seemed to be quite endearing qualities for these old men.

Afterward, Ye Chenfeng recounted the events just now to Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an in full detail.

This caused Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an to instantly widen their eyes in anger.

However, Wu Dongyuan was the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Red Flame Sect, in charge of the entire hall. Within the Red Flame Sect, he was just below the Sect Master. If they acted against Wu Dongyuan, it would undoubtedly cause a commotion within the Red Flame Sect.

Moreover, Wu Dongyuan’s eldest grandson, Wu Li, was completely crippled by Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng always treated others with respect if they respected him. Since Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an called him Master, and since neither he nor Sun Xiaoli and others were harmed...

Ye Chenfeng helped Sun Xiaoli and the others up from the ground.

Then, Ye Chenfeng walked over to Sun Xiaoli’s Master, Zheng Mei, and helped Zheng Mei up as well.

After all, Zheng Mei had just stepped forward to prevent Wu Dongyuan, and Ye Chenfeng still held a bit of goodwill towards her.

Ye Chenfeng pointed at Wu Dongyuan, speaking to Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, "He just slapped this Red Flame Sect Elder away and used his aura to make my four friends kneel. If they are willing to apologize, then let’s leave it at that for today!"

There was an underlying message in Ye Chenfeng’s words. If Wu Dongyuan and the others weren’t willing to apologize, then it wouldn’t be that easy to end things today.

Ye Chenfeng wanted to test Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an’s true attitude.

Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an understood that this was Ye Chenfeng giving them face. If it were anyone else, they would probably have ordered Wu Dongyuan to be killed.

Qian Rong’an’s face suddenly changed, and his Nirvana Realm Peak aura rapidly spread toward Wu Dongyuan. He shouted, "Wu Dongyuan, kneel and apologize! Otherwise, the Law Enforcement Hall of the Red Flame Sect will have a new person in charge from now on."

Wu Dongyuan’s face was as dark as a storm, feeling the immense pressure on himself. He was only at the First Heaven of the Reincarnation Realm, but facing Qian Rong’an’s overwhelming aura, his anger grew more intense.

However, Wu Dongyuan knew that if he continued to resist, Qian Rong’an and Zeng Guangyuan might kill him regardless of the consequences. Then, he wouldn’t even have a chance for revenge. Realizing this, Wu Dongyuan relaxed his body.

"Thud!"

"Bang!"

Wu Dongyuan knelt down in the direction of Sun Xiaoli, Sun Hengfei, and Zheng Mei, causing the ground to instantly crack under his knees.

Seeing Wu Dongyuan kneel, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an both breathed a sigh of relief since Wu Dongyuan had been in control of the Law Enforcement Hall for over a century, and he had many direct disciples within the Red Flame Sect.

Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an didn’t want to cause too much trouble, so Wu Dongyuan’s willingness to kneel and apologize was the best outcome.

Zeng Guangyuan shouted, "Wu Dongyuan, apologize!"

With his head bowed, no one could see Wu Dongyuan’s expression, and he said in a low voice, "I’m sorry."

Zeng Guangyuan then looked at Wu Li and Wu Nan, shouting, "You two should apologize too."

Seeing his grandfather kneeling, Wu Nan dared not resist. He directly knelt before Ye Chenfeng and the others and said, "I’m sorry."

As for Wu Li, who lay on the ground crippled by Ye Chenfeng, seeing his grandfather and younger brother apologizing, he knew that if he didn’t apologize, there would only be one path—death. Although they acted first, Wu Li was entirely crippled while Ye Chenfeng and the others were unharmed, leaving Wu Li feeling extremely frustrated.

Yet, Wu Li weakly said, "I’m sorry."

"Pfft!"

As this "I’m sorry" sounded, Wu Li spat out another mouthful of blood. It seemed he was so angry that he spat blood.

Seeing Wu Dongyuan and the other three apologize, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an were satisfied, nodding as they said, "Master, from now on, the Red Flame Sect is also your home. Let’s take Master to have a meal!"

Ye Chenfeng looked at the completely dumbfounded Sun Xiaoli and others nearby and gestured for them to follow along.

The Red Flame Sect Law Enforcement Hall Elder, Wu Dongyuan, also stood up from the ground.

As Ye Chenfeng passed by Wu Dongyuan, he patted Wu Dongyuan on the shoulder, saying softly, "Didn’t you just say no one could save us today? But what happened? It seems you were the one to kneel and apologize? There are too many people who boast in this world."

Wu Dongyuan watched Ye Chenfeng walk off into the distance, replaying Ye Chenfeng’s words in his mind.

Finally, Wu Dongyuan could no longer suppress it. His body surged with blood, his face turning red.

"Pfft!"

Blood spewed from his mouth.

The distinguished Elder of the Red Flame Sect Law Enforcement Hall, an expert of the First Heaven of the Reincarnation Realm, was angered by Ye Chenfeng to the point of spitting blood.
