Chapter 400: Inspection
Shu Feng walked up to Zhao Tian, reached out his hand, and said with a forward smile, “Sir Zhao Tian, are you okay?”
“I’m fine! Han Feng, when did you break through to the Martial Master realm?”
Zhao Tian stood up with difficulty, and his eye flashed with a complicated shade.
Shu Feng smiled candidly and said, “It was three days ago. The Bi Xuan Art is rather easy!”
“The Bi Xuan Art is easy!”
Zhao Tian felt like throwing up.
The Bi Xuan Art is a basic inner skill of the Green Jade Demonic Sect. In fact, it is regarded as a first-class inner skill of the Great Zhou Demonic Kingdom. If an inner skill of this level is spread, it will cause countless bloody storms in the Jianghu [1].
It took Zhao Tian three years to cultivate the Bi Xuan Art from the Martial Practitioner realm to the Martial Master realm. Shu Feng only cultivated the Bi Xuan Art for a bit over a month, yet has already advanced to the Martial Master realm. This speed is truly unparalleled.
Zhao Tian said, “Han Feng, from now on, you can call me Zhao Tian! The Green Jade Demonic Sect respects the strong. Seeing as you are stronger than me, you are qualified to call me by my name.”
Shu Feng smiled straightforwardly and said, “Okay, courtyard master!”
Zhao Tian glanced at Zhao Xiaolu with regret, “If what he said is true, then his future prospects are limitless. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time.”
Since Shu Feng killed Demon Rat of the 12 Great Demons with a single blow, this puts him on the same level as the inner sect disciples of the Green Jade Demonic Sect. And he’s still only a Martial Master. With such peerless talent, so long as he doesn’t die prematurely, he will become a true disciple of the Green Jade Demonic Sect in the future.
At first, Zhao Tian wanted to play matchmaker between Zhao Xiaolu and Shu Feng. But now he no longer entertains this thought. Even if Shu Feng fell in love with Zhao Xiaolu and married her, he fears that his granddaughter wouldn’t be able to live long. The powerhouses of the Green Jade Demonic Sect with designs on Shu Feng would easily tear Zhao Xiaolu into pieces.
The Green Jade Mountain is the headquarters of the Green Jade Demonic Sect, one of the five great demonic sects of the Great Zhou Demonic Kingdom. Although the Green Jade Mountain is called a mountain, but it is actually a vast mountain range stretching for thousands of kilometers. Everything within the vast mountain range belongs to the Green Jade Demonic Sect.
“Zhao Tian, are these the candidates from the Green Sky Mountain’s lower courtyard who came to participate in the assessment this year?”
A middle-aged man dressed in outer sect disciple clothing swept Shu Feng’s group of three with his eyes. When his gaze fell on Yuan Ling’er, his eye lit up, and he asked this.
Shangguan Biyao, the sect leader of the Green Jade Demonic Sect, is the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou Demonic Kingdom. The Green Jade Demonic Sect mainly recruits female disciples. Within the Green Jade Demonic Sect, there are many beautiful women. Nevertheless, outstanding beauties like Yuan Ling’er are still very rare. Especially, with her explosive figure, she has surpassed countless other women.
Zhao Tian introduced meaningfully, “Wang Kai! This is my granddaughter Zhao Xiaolu, this is Yuan Ling’er, the younger sister of the true disciple Yuan Xian’er. And this one is Han Feng, an unparalleled genius with innate divine strength! He slayed Demon Rat of the 12 Great Demons with a single strike of the blade! Furthermore, his cultivation base is only at the Martial Master realm!”
“He slayed Demon Rat of the 12 Great Demons with a strike of the blade! And he’s at the Martial Master realm, to boot!”
Wang Kai’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately smiled and said, “Wait a moment! I’ll be right back.”
Wang Kai quickly left this place.
Not long after, a tall and sexy woman dressed in green, in her late twenties, with a gorgeous and enticing appearance and a beauty mark at the corner of her right eye, exuding a powerful aura, walked over.
Wang Kai followed behind the beautiful woman in green, his head lowered and a respectful expression on his face.
When the beautiful woman in green arrived, she immediately looked Shu Feng up and down and asked indifferently, “Are you Han Feng? Did you kill Demon Rat of the 12 Great Demons?”
Shu Feng asked back, a candid smile on his face, “Who are you, beautiful older sister?”
Wang Kai barked, “Brazen! Han Feng, this is Senior Disciple Sister Hua Shilei, a true disciple of the Green Jade Demonic Sect. Hurry up and salute Senior Disciple Sister Hua Shilei!”
The hierarchy of the Green Jade Demonic Sect is really strict. Every true disciple is a true scion, a peerless genius who cultivated to the Great Grandmaster realm at a young age, and has the potential to challenge the Martial Venerable realm. Their status in the Green Jade Demonic Sect is extremely noble, and their influence is even greater than that of some elders.
“Greetings, Senior Disciple Sister Hua Shilei!”
Everyone present bowed to Hua Shilei in salute.
Shu Feng smiled candidly and said, “Senior Disciple Sister Hua Shilei, it was indeed me who killed Demon Rat of the 12 Great Demons!”
Hua Shilei took out a colorless crystal and threw it toward Shu Feng: “Inject your xuan qi into this crystal!”
“Yes! Sir!”
Shu Feng injected his xuan qi into the colorless crystal.
The colorless crystal broke out with bright green light.
“It is indeed Bi Xuan Art’s xuan qi, and it’s very pure!”
Hua Shilei’s beautiful eyes flickered. All of a sudden, she extended her fair hand and grabbed Shu Feng’s shoulder lightning-fast.
Shu Feng was startled and struggled a little.
“Settle down!”
Hua Shilei snapped, broke out with Great Grandmaster realm xuan qi, and held tightly onto Shu Feng. At the same time, she injected a stream of xuan qi into Shu Feng’s body and began to inspect his body.
Shu Feng operated a secret method that concealed his spirit force and divinity and allowed Hua Shilei’s xuan qi to explore his body.
“This guy possesses innate complete meridians! Furthermore, there are no other kinds of xuan qi! He seems to be a true peerless genius!”
Hua Shilei retrieved her xuan qi. She carefully looked at Shu Feng, and her beautiful eyes glimmered. Through this inspection, she confirmed that Shu Feng is not a spy of some other force who infiltrated the Green Jade Demonic Sect.
If martial artists from other forces have cultivated the martial arts of their forces, they will produce different kinds of xuan qi, which can hardly be concealed from Hua Shilei via such a close inspection.
“Moreover, he’s a Martial Master who can kill Grandmasters. The other forces would never use such a freak as a spy.”
“Do I get rid of him now so that he doesn’t become a threat to me in the future?”
Hua Shilei looked at Shu Feng, and her pretty eyes surged with evil thoughts.
There are only so many resources in the Green Jade Demonic Sect. Every true disciple is entitled to receive a portion of the resources. The Green Jade Demonic Sect is a demonic sect that upholds the concept of prioritizing the strong and raises true disciples as if raising Gu [2]. The internal struggle within the sect is extremely fierce.
The true disciples will struggle according to certain rules, and the ultimate winner will become the holy daughter of the Green Jade Demonic Sect. The holy daughter of the Green Jade Demonic Sect is the successor and future sect leader of the Green Jade Demonic Sect.
“But Han Feng is a man and can’t become the holy daughter, nor can he become the sect lord of the Green Jade Demonic Sect! There’s fundamentally no conflict between me and him.”
