Chapter 117: You dare compare identities with me? I'll crush you!

  Ma Heng looked up with his head held high, holding a folding fan in his hand, with an air of superiority standing in the middle of the courtyard. In his heart, he was secretly pleased with himself. See? This is status! This is prestige! When it comes to beauties, what matters most is status and prestige! This time, he must have greatly elevated his status in that beauty's eyes! And by the way, he also stepped on that little brat!

  Ye Feng glanced around in a circle, and among the forty or fifty people in the courtyard, some were whispering to each other, while others were sizing him up with strange looks.

  Inside the tightly closed gate, from time to time a few people who looked like family servants came out, selected a few people from among 40 or 50, and then took these few people back inside the gate. Before long, these few people walked out of the tightly closed gate again, each sighing and shaking their heads in regret. This cycle repeated several times.

  Ye Feng hugged his arms and waited for half a day. A housekeeper walked out of the gate, smiled all over his face, and came to Ma Hengxin's front, bowing his hands: "Master Zhang has been waiting in the main hall for a long time, Master Ma, please follow me."

  Ma Hengxin pointed to Ye Feng and Mu Zhaoxue behind him and said: "These two are friends I brought, let them come in together."

  Jia Ding took a glance at Mu Zhaoxue and smiled: "Is this young lady also from the Danyang Alliance?"

  Mu Zhaoxue furrowed her brow, took out a jade tablet unique to the Inverse Sword Sect from her hundred-treasures pouch, and cupped her hands in greeting: "I am Mu Zhaoxue, true disciple of the Inverse Sword Sect!"

  As soon as this remark came out, the forty or fifty people in the courtyard suddenly erupted.

  "Look, the true disciples of Dongzhou's Inverse Heaven Sword Sect have all arrived."

  "Isn't that right, with great rewards come brave men. I heard that whoever can remove the Dan Demon from Zhao Lingzi's body will not only get the 'Refining Golden Elixir' of the Lingxu Sword Sect but also the one-of-a-kind 'Three Pure Divine Wood Elixir'."

  "Ah! The Sanqing Shenmu Dan is actually the sect-suppressing elixir of the Lingxu Sword Sect! No wonder the true disciples of the Nìtiān Sword Sect would personally come, but the Nìtiān Sword Sect has always been known for its fighting prowess, and shouldn't be as skilled in alchemy as the Danyang Alliance."

  "Yes, in recent days, many sects have brought out their ultimate elixirs, including some famous for refining pills, but none of them can dispel the demonic pill from Zhao Lingzi's body. The Inverse Sword Sect is renowned for its combat skills, but not top-notch in alchemy. It seems that this true disciple has come to the Lingxu Sword Sect in vain."

  Ye Feng shook his head and thought to himself: Can't get rid of Zhao Qianjin's Danmo Guan, it's none of my business. I'm just here to buy soy sauce, happened to pass by here, came up to take a look at the excitement, but this "Three Pure Divine Wood Dan" is not bad.

  Ma Hengxin was well-prepared and upon hearing Mu Zhaoxue say that he was a true disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect, his heart did not feel surprised, but instead had a sly smile on his face. He thought to himself: With your cultivation, I, young master, had already expected you to be a true disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect. Moreover, it seems like you are a true disciple who can be counted on. Otherwise, how could I have used you to kill the Gui Shui Emperor Python? Hmph...

  The household servant of the Lingxu Sword Sect, Zhang, stared at Mu Zhaoyue with a surprised expression, and after a long while, said: "This Miss Mu, please wait for a moment. According to our rules, it should be our sect's elder who personally comes to welcome you." After finishing speaking, he quickly ran inside the gate.

  Before long, an old man walked out from the gate. He had white eyebrows and silver whiskers, looking very spirited. The servant who led him here came to Mu Zhaoyue's side and smiled at the old man: "This is Miss Mu, the true disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect."

  The elder bowed his hands and smiled, saying: "I am the elder of the Lingxu Sword Sect. Today, a true disciple of the Ni Tian Sword Sect has come to our place, which is an honor for our sect. Please come in."

  Ye Feng followed Mu Zhaoxue and walked inside, the old man looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression and said seriously: "Followers should wait here, no one is allowed to enter the hall arbitrarily."

  Ye Feng glared at the old man with a face full of anger, thinking to himself: You're the one who's the attendant, aren't you? With my handsome and elegant appearance, extraordinary temperament, I look like an attendant? I think you've gone blind in your old age.

  Mu Zhaoxue smiled and said: "Elder, you misunderstood. He is my fellow disciple and junior brother, not my follower."

  "Oh, I see," said the elder with a smile: "May I ask your honorable surname and given name, young sir?"

  Ye Feng imitated Mu Zhaoxue's manner and cupped his hands, saying: "Disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect's Feiyang Peak - Ye Feng."

  The bustling courtyard immediately fell silent, Ye Feng stood still with his fists clenched, scanning the surroundings with his peripheral vision. The people around him seemed to have been cast a petrifying spell, standing motionless, forty or fifty pairs of eyes staring at him in unison. It wasn't until several breaths later that everyone finally came back to their senses.

  Ma Hengxin's eyes almost bulged out, and his heart had already leapt to his throat: How is this possible! This kid looks like a country bumpkin, but unexpectedly he's a personally taught disciple! However, with a Golden Body initial stage cultivation, at most he's an inner sect disciple, how could he possibly be higher than a true lineage disciple!? How can this be?!

  Everyone began to discuss: "What is the relationship between Lingxu Sword Sect and Nìtiān Sword Sect? Even the personally taught disciples have come!"

  "Yes, a personally taught disciple can represent the sect's elder or master. Look at this kid, his abilities are absolutely exceptional. Otherwise, how could he have become a personally taught disciple at such a young age?"

  "The prestige of Zhao, the leader of the Lingxu Sword Sect, is indeed not small. He can even invite the direct disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect!"

  The elder of the Lingxu Sword Sect's face had also solidified, all his energy focused on Ye Feng, completely ignoring Ma Hengxin behind him.

  The elder's face wore a stiff smile as he said, "I didn't know that the Ye Gongzi of the Reverse Heaven Sword Sect had arrived in person. It's truly an honor to have you here. Please come in, I'll take you to see the Master."

  Ye Feng blinked his eyes, looking at the dozens of envious eyes staring at him, and excitedly thought to himself: So this is what it feels like to be a disciple of a prestigious sect? It's like being a superstar, haha!

  Direct disciple? This country bumpkin-like kid is the direct disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect? How is that possible? Ma Hengxin stared blankly at Ye Feng's back, swallowing his saliva repeatedly. This kid was truly sinister! He actually used this method to turn me, who should be admired by everyone, into his accompanying clown!

  Under the leadership of the elder, several people walked into the tightly closed gate and went all the way along a long corridor to a spacious hall. The interior decoration was simple and elegant, with a large screen placed in front, flanked by several crimson wooden chairs. A young man in his twenties sat upright on the chair.

  "Just a moment, I'll go and report to Master Zhang." The elder quickly flashed behind the screen.

  Ye Feng carefully sized up the young man sitting on the chair: wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with wide sleeves, a silk belt around his waist, an expression cold and stern on his face, a pair of slender small eyes slightly raised upwards, looking somewhat like a fox's eyes.

  The man in black also looked up and down at Ye Feng, the two men's eyes met, and the sharp eyes contained a hint of evil.

  A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dignified and majestic, walked out of the screen in front, followed by the elder who had just spoken, and the black-clad man sitting beside him also quickly stood up.

  A middle-aged man came before Ye Feng and smiled: "I am Zhao Dehai, the leader of the Lingxu Sword Sect. Is this young master Ye?"

  Ye Feng cupped his hands and said: "It's really you, I've seen Senior Zhang before."

  "Haha, as expected, extraordinary bearing," Zhao Dehai smiled and said: "At such a young age, he is already a direct disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect. It seems that Ling'er has hope this time."

  The man in black furrowed his brow, narrowed his small eyes and stared at Ye Feng, with a hint of evil spirit in his eyes again.

  Ma Hengxin thought to himself with a twitch of his mouth: The words that were originally meant for me have all been snatched away by this little brat.

  Yefeng cupped his hands and smiled: "I'm just passing by this place, taking a look at the excitement."

  "Huh? Zhao Dehai was taken aback."

  Mu Zhaoxue poked Ye Feng from behind, and Ye Feng hastily said: "I meant to say that I, a junior, came here on purpose, but didn't expect it to be so lively."

  Zhao Dehai smiled slightly and looked at Mu Zhaoxue standing behind Ye Feng, saying: "This young lady is the true disciple of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect, Miss Mu, right?"

  Mu Zhaoxue cupped his hands and said: "Mu Zhaoxue, a true disciple of the Ni Tian Sword Sect, has seen the sect leader."

  Zhao Dehai smiled and said, "I've long heard of the reputation of the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect. It's also one of the top sects in Dongzhou. The two of you have come here especially for Ling'er's sake, which is an honor for our sect. Thank you." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ma Hengxin standing behind him again.

  Ma Hengxin was about to introduce himself, but Zhao Dehai ignored him and sat down in the middle chair, waving his hand with a smile: "Everyone, please sit down."

  Zhao Dehai pointed to a man in black clothes beside him and said: "This is Master Hua, who has also come here especially for Ling'er's matter."

  The man in black clothes made a fist at Ye Feng and Mu Zhaoxue and said: "Down Huajian, nice to meet you."

  Ye Feng and Mu Zhaoxue exchanged a glance, Ye Feng furrowed his brow and whispered: "I think this kid doesn't seem like a good thing, just from those two specially-shaped eyes of his, I can see a hint of evil aura."

  Mu Zhaoxue shook her head and smiled: "You can't judge a person by their appearance!"

  Zhao Dehai saw that everyone had sat down, stroking his beard and sighing: "Alas, since Ling'er condensed the Golden Elixir and was possessed by the Dan Demon, I have invited friends from all over the world to use various methods to remove the Dan Demon, but so far no one has been able to do it. I only have this one daughter, and in order to save Ling'er's life, no matter which sect or school, as long as you can remove the Dan Demon from her body, I will definitely reward you heavily!"

  Ma Hengxin finally couldn't sit still, suddenly stood up and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Master. My father specially refined a Zhīyángbìxié Dan for Miss Zhao. I was also entrusted by my father to come here specifically for Miss's matter."

  "Oh?" Zhao Dehai's face showed an excited expression as he said: "So you're the son of Dan Yang Alliance Ma Zhang Jiao?"

  "Junior Brother Dan Yang's ally, Ma Hengxin." He finally had the chance to say his own name, and Ma Hengxin was so excited that he almost jumped up.
