CHAPTER 1583: CHAPTER 1574: DRIVEN MAD WITH RAGE

Red Flame Sect.

On the plaza in front of the great hall.

Two hundred breaths of time had passed.

The powerful aura of the late stage of the fifth level of the Nirvana Realm around Ye Chenfeng disappeared in an instant.

Wearing a black bamboo hat, Ye Chenfeng had a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that using such an intimidating technique really did take a toll on him!

Ye Chenfeng let out a gentle breath. Since he hadn’t taken off the bamboo hat yet, those present, including Zhao Lengfeng and a group of inner sect elders, didn’t dare to even breathe loudly in front of him.

As for the two old men, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, although they still weren’t clear about the identity of the man with the black bamboo hat, they nevertheless obeyed his command to check if the Misty Cloud Array had been damaged.

The Sky Gold Mouse scurried around Ye Chenfeng’s feet, and Ye Chenfeng picked it up.

This Sky Gold Mouse had golden fur, and its round eyes fixed on Ye Chenfeng. Its little forepaws waved incessantly, as it made "squeak squeak squeak!" sounds, seeming to protest against Ye Chenfeng. Its appearance was indeed extremely amusing and adorable.

Ye Chenfeng had learned from Old Bai and Old Hei that Sky Gold Mice were extremely interested in things rich in spiritual energy and naturally sensed them.

Ye Chenfeng had just taken out a piece of a hundred-thousand-year-old Spirit Bamboo Leaf from the small world within the Chaos Ring, which was filled with incredibly dense spiritual energy. Back then, simply swallowing a tiny corner of one Spirit Bamboo Leaf nearly made his body explode.

Holding a piece of the hundred-thousand-year-old Spirit Bamboo Leaf in his hand naturally attracted the Sky Gold Mouse to his feet.

Earlier, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t stay too close to Feng Guangshan and the others, or it would be easy to reveal a flaw.

Looking at the Sky Gold Mouse in his palm, Ye Chenfeng said, "Little guy, behave yourself. You’ll get your reward soon enough."

The Sky Gold Mouse seemed to understand Ye Chenfeng’s words and promptly hopped onto his shoulder, where it lay quietly without making a sound.

Meanwhile, the ancestral figures of the Red Flame Sect, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, returned hastily to the plaza, not daring to act presumptuously in front of Ye Chenfeng. Zeng Guangyuan said, "Forefather, thankfully, the Misty Cloud Array wasn’t damaged. We’ve reactivated it."

It looked like Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an had genuinely mistaken Ye Chenfeng for the ancestor of the Red Flame Sect.

The former Law Enforcement Hall elder of the Red Flame Sect, Wu Dongyuan, together with his grandsons Wu Li and Wu Nan, stood dumbfounded on the side, with nowhere to escape.

...

As Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an misrecognized Ye Chenfeng as their sect’s ancestor...

The Poison King Feng Guangshan of the Wind Thunder Sect, Fan Zhiyong of the Sword Feather Villa, and Xie Zhenglong of the Star Cloud Sect had completely exited the forest. Shortly after their departure, they realized the Misty Cloud Array within the forest had been reactivated.

The faces of the three were extremely gloomy. They didn’t expect that coming to the Red Flame Sect would result in them fleeing in disarray! This filled them with immense anger.

As their emotions gradually calmed down, the Poison King Feng Guangshan sensed something amiss about the whole situation. Why would the Red Flame Sect suddenly produce a Nirvana Realm fifth-level expert for no reason? He didn’t have time to think back in that situation.

The more Feng Guangshan thought about it, the more unusual it seemed, his brows furrowed tightly, recalling the scenes that had just unfolded. He said to Fan Zhiyong and Xie Zhenglong, "Don’t you think this whole thing is strange? That mysterious man with the hat really did have the aura of a late-stage fifth level of the Nirvana Realm."

"But, upon closely recalling the sensation just before, I feel the aura from the man with the hat seemed somewhat illusory. Moreover, if the Red Flame Sect had such a master, would they still have maintained such a low profile?"

Fan Zhiyong from Sword Feather Villa nodded in agreement, saying, "That mysterious man with the hat pressed us every step of the way, giving us no time to hesitate or think. Now that I think about it, this matter does indeed feel suspicious."

Xie Zhenglong from Star Cloud Sect chimed in, "I, too, felt like the aura on that mysterious person seemed somewhat illusory."

With this, Feng Guangshan became even more convinced something was wrong. He said, "When I was leaving, out of curiosity about that man’s identity, I deliberately left a bead on the plaza."

"That bead contains a wisp of my divine sense. Through it, I can let you see the current scene on the plaza."

As he spoke, Feng Guangshan activated his Sea of Consciousness at his brow, which flickered with white light. His hands swiftly sketched in the air.

Before long, the air in front of Feng Guangshan depicted an image, the scene of the plaza at Red Flame Sect.

...

At this moment, on the plaza of the Red Flame Sect.

A blue bead lay quietly on the ground, unnoticed by anyone present.

Wearing a black bamboo hat, Ye Chenfeng saw that Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an had mistaken him for their ancestor. He hurriedly took off the hat and said calmly, "I’m not your ancestor."

Seeing that the mysterious person was actually Ye Chenfeng, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an were so shocked their mouths could fit an egg, stutteringly saying, "Mas... Master?"

On the side, the Sect Master of Red Flame Sect, Zhao Lengfeng, trembled violently and said in disbelief, "Ancestor?"

The other inner sect elders present, who had previously seen Ye Chenfeng when he cured Zhao Lengfeng’s poison, couldn’t have possibly guessed this mysterious person was Ye Chenfeng.

The former Law Enforcement Hall elder Wu Dongyuan, along with his grandsons Wu Li and Wu Nan, were struck as if by lightning when they saw Ye Chenfeng, their bodies shaking terribly.

With a trembling finger pointing at Ye Chenfeng, Wu Dongyuan said, "You... you, how could it be you? Are you my destined nemesis? You’ve not only cured Zhao Lengfeng’s poison but have now thwarted our entire plan."

Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an were too occupied to bother with the troublemaker Wu Dongyuan, their gazes locked on Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng knew he needed to explain, so he began, "I just happened to come out from the flame cavern and discovered this affair. In truth, I have no Nirvana Realm power."

"I merely have a frightening technique, and the aura I just raised was false, with no real attack capability. Those three old men probably had low intelligence, which is why they fell for it."

Supporting Wu Li, Wu Nan mumbled to himself, "How could it end like this? It can’t possibly be this result, no way."

Wu Dongyuan’s face twisted in madness as he shouted, "Don’t be too overconfident! Do you think the three great sects will let this slide? The Red Flame Sect will eventually disappear from the Earth Profound Realm."

Constant interruptions by Wu Dongyuan and others left Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an visibly impatient. They both struck out at Wu Dongyuan, Wu Li, and Wu Nan with their palms.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wu Dongyuan and his two grandsons were no match at all, given Wu Dongyuan only had the first level of the Reincarnation Realm, and Wu Li and Wu Nan were even weaker. Their heads instantly exploded under Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an’s palm strikes.

Meanwhile.

Outside the forest, Feng Guangshan from Wind Thunder Sect, Fan Zhiyong from Sword Feather Villa, and Xie Zhenglong from Star Cloud Sect.

The three watched the entire scene on the plaza through the image formed in the air, also hearing all the sounds there clearly.

Feng Guangshan and the others were staring hard at the image of Ye Chenfeng. They, the three Nirvana Realm powerhouses, were actually outplayed by a mere boy?

Feng Guangshan, Fan Zhiyong, and Xie Zhenglong’s foreheads bulged with veins, their faces flushing red, and their auras surging forcefully within them.

Feng Guangshan and the others trembled with rage. They were, after all, the patriarchs of the first-rate sects!

But now, they had been outwitted by Ye Chenfeng, and he even called them dim-witted. This nearly drove them mad with anger.
