Chapter 49: The Righteous Person

  What's the big deal, isn't it just participating in the Zhenchuan Grand Election? Do you need so many people to come and cheer? I'm also participating, why didn't anyone come to congratulate me? The more Ye Feng thinks about it, the more he feels uneasy: I'll go give Sun Shixiong a congratulatory visit, let's see how he's going to win with absolute certainty.

  Ye Feng finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, and the man in front of him, Sun Shixiong, looked somewhat familiar. He appeared to be over 50 years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with a thick beard covering his face. Facing the congratulations from so many people, he was grinning foolishly.

  Relying on the memories of his previous master's body, Ye Feng suddenly remembered this seemingly familiar face: it turned out to be Sun Fentai, a fellow disciple of the inner sect. In the past, I had even "upheld justice" for this Sun brother because of his teasing women, and unexpectedly he lived next door to me.

  This guy's grandfather isn't the great elder who passed on the skills? At that time, when he was being "righteous", he should have been punished, but later it seemed like nothing had happened. I'm saying, can't this kind of "Immortal Second Generation" be eliminated?

  The younger disciples next to him congratulated Sun Shixiong in a hurry: "Congratulations, Sun Shixiong has reached the eighth level of Qi Gong, it seems that this time participating in the True Transmission Grand Selection is almost a sure thing."

  Sun Fengtao, with a smile on his face, scanned the crowd of junior brothers who came to congratulate him. His eyes suddenly fell on Ye Feng's face in the crowd. The originally wide-open mouth closed instantly, and he stared at Ye Feng with an almost ferocious gaze, saying: "How did you little brat come here?"

  Everyone followed Sun Fengtao's gaze and looked over, only to see Ye Feng. The faces that were originally smiling all turned gloomy, and the few people surrounding Ye Feng scattered to the side as if avoiding a plague god.

  What's going on? Am I that terrifying, bro? Ye Feng looked around and suddenly remembered: the people here are basically all "justified" by themselves. That's why they look at me with such a weird gaze, as if they've seen an enemy.

  Ye Feng's face still wore a smile: "Oh...... I also came to congratulate Brother Sun." Only then did Ye Feng notice that almost everyone who had come to offer congratulations was carrying some small gift in their hands.

  Sun Fengtao slanted his eyes, sizing up Ye Feng from head to toe: "Congratulations? I think you're here looking for trouble. Let's see if there's anything that violates the sect rules, and then we can go tell the law enforcement elder about it."

  "It's you, you little scamp! This is like a weasel paying New Year's respects to a chicken, with no good intentions," said another short and stout fellow who emerged from the crowd. Leaf Feng took one look and saw that it was "Potato" Shixiong. In the past, because he had secretly gone down the mountain multiple times, I had "taught him a lesson" each time, and this little scamp almost got kicked out of the mountain gate.

  The middle-aged disciples beside Sun Fengtao chimed in, "That's right, this kid definitely didn't come for anything else. He must be looking for someone to pick a fight with, and soon he'll go tattle to the Law Enforcement Elder again."

  Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head in frustration: "I'm really speechless, how many people did I 'do justice' to back then? It seems like everyone had a grudge against me."

  "Potato" Shixiong stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at Ye Feng in extreme anger: "You little brat, I've been looking for you for a long time. I heard you even hid out for half a year, are you afraid of someone taking revenge? Let me tell you, you can run but the temple won't run from you. Since you're here today, I want to ask you, do we have any grudges between us? Why do you always secretly report me?"

  "We've also been reported by him several times, what else can you do besides this?"

  Ye Feng didn't even bother to respond to them, thinking: I knew I shouldn't have come to join in the fun. There's nothing worthwhile to say to these boring people. Instead of wasting time, I might as well hurry back and focus on my cultivation.

  Just as he was about to leave, the "Potato" senior behind him said: "You're asked a question and you don't answer, do you want to slip away? Have you made progress in your cultivation for more than half a year? Are you daring enough to spar with me in front of all the junior brothers? If you win, the past will be written off. If you lose, you'll have to kowtow and admit your mistake."

  The Inverse Sword Sect does not allow disciples to fight or brawl within the sect, unless both parties agree to a friendly spar, otherwise they will be subject to severe punishment.

  Ye Feng just wanted to prepare well for the Zhen Chuan Grand Election and didn't want to have any more conflicts with these useless people. He humbly replied, "Junior brother's cultivation is shallow, how can I be a match for all of you senior brothers? Let bygones be bygones, junior brother still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

  "Hmph, easy for you to say. If your old man hadn't been able to withstand those fifty lashes, would you be standing here today? You think the past is just going to pass on by? I think you're scared of me, you coward."

  The disciples next to him also followed and shouted: "That's right, never dare to accept others' challenges, obviously a coward but don't admit it, just know how to tattle."

  Originally decided to leave, Ye Feng turned around and waved his hand at "Potato" Shixiong, saying: "It's not that I'm afraid, come and spar with me, you're still a bit tender."

  "Potato" Shixiong was quite surprised, pointing at Ye Feng and laughing: "This kid hasn't been seen for half a year, his tone has hardened a lot. If he's got skills, let's practice again."

  "Alright then, I'd rather obey than show respect. Please teach me more, elder brother."

  "Potato" Shixiong was also very happy, thinking: Finally have the opportunity to avenge, this kid is really looking for death, after beating up this stinky kid, it's just right to show off my newly upgraded strength in front of everyone.

  The crowd parted to make way for the two in the center of the cave, and "Potato" Shixiong took a step forward, shouting loudly as he exerted all his strength, his face red with effort. In an instant, a powerful force burst forth from him.

  "Wow, what a powerful burst of energy! It seems that Brother Shifu has already reached the second layer of Qi Refining, and it only took him more than half a year to break through one layer. He's really amazing! Looks like he's another candidate for the True Disciple selection!" Everyone cast surprised glances at "Potato" Brother Shifu.

  In the midst of everyone's astonished gaze, "Potato" Shixiong quickly threw out a hand seal, and the spiritual symbol hanging from his waist slowly rose up, emitting a faint mist around him.

  Another burst of applause, everyone thumbs up and said: "Really didn't expect the master to use spiritual symbols, the power is really amazing, great!"

  Ye Feng slowly raised his arm, pointing at "Potato" Shixiong, and a golden spiritual symbol flew out from the cuff of his sleeve with a "whooshing" sound. It transformed into a ball of water in front of "Potato", which exploded on his face with a loud "bang".

  "Potato" Shixiong hadn't even had a chance to show off his skills in front of everyone, when he was struck by Ye Feng's "Water Curtain Strike" and fainted on the spot.

  The entire cave was silent, the disciples who had just exclaimed in surprise were now completely speechless, the scene from earlier kept replaying in their minds, and they all had a voice in unison: How is this possible?!
