Chapter 1398: Hidden Monster

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

"Ghost-Emperor Sect, I can't believe he's from the Ghost-Emperor Sect." Qingfeng Li's eyebrows curled as a shred of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

As a self-cultivator in Huaxia, Qingfeng Li had undoubtedly heard legends about the Ghost-Emperor Sect. It was said to be a mysterious supreme and impregnable sect that usually remained hidden away. When it did appear though, a blood storm would be stirred up and a reign of terror would be carried out.

The Ghost-Emperor Sect was also an intermediate emperor level sect, just like the Blaze Sect.

The Sect Master of Ghost-Emperor Sect was named Xiao Gui. He was said to have control over immense ghost power and could command ferocious phantoms from hell.

Xiao Gui looked at Qingfeng Li coldly and said sternly, "You are Qingfeng Li, right? You are the one who killed my disciple, Ghost King, are you not?"

Qingfeng Li responded cooly and without a care, "Ghost King was trying to kill me then, so I definitely had to fight back and kill him first. Do you have a problem with that?"

Qingfeng Li still held a grudge against the kind of person Ghost King was. Back then, Ghost King belonged to the Ghost King Palace and was incredibly strong. He abducted Ruyan Liu and almost caused Ruyan Liu, who was pregnant at the time, to lose her life and the life of her baby.

Qingfeng Li was furious because of that, so he not only killed Ghost King, but also the Black and White Impermanences of the Ghost King Palace, Hell King, and many others.

From what it seemed now, the Ghost King Palace of the Tianjing City was probably related to the Ghost-Emperor Sect somehow. Or else Xiao Gui wouldn't know so much.

"Qingfeng Li, how dare you slaughter the disciples of the Ghost-Emperor Sect! Today, I will let you know that we are not people that you can mess with and then walk away without any consequences." Xiao Gui's face became scary as he threatened Qingfeng.

Qingfeng Li smiled calmly. He took the threat lightly because he did not feel threatened by Xiao Gui at all.

Those who were watching heard Xiao Gui's threat and became astonished; they even found the intimidation a little funny.

These people had just witnessed the fight between Qingfeng Li and the Sect Master of the Blaze Sect. Qingfeng Li held no regard even for the Blaze Sect, let alone the Ghost-Emperor Sect.

However, those of the Ghost-Emperor Sect had just arrived and had no idea about what had happened there before their arrival. If they knew of Qingfeng Li's power and that he had the Treasure Daoist and Linger Yao on his side, they would not have tried to threaten him.

Xiao Gui took a look around at the self-cultivators surrounding him, their reactions confusing him.

Xiao Gui could not understand why the self-cultivators looked astonished and even entertained instead of being intimidated when they heard his threat to Qingfeng Li. Their reactions were as though they believed Qingfeng Li to be some kind of invincible master.

Xiao Gui said to the Third Elder beside him, "Go teach Qingfeng Li a lesson. Let him know the consequences of messing with the Ghost-Emperor Sect."

An elderly man in a black robe beside Xiao Gui walked out and moved towards Qingfeng Li.

He was an elderly man in his 70s, yet his hair was not grey, but shiny black, dark, and voluminous.

Those of the Ghost-Emperor Sect practiced a kind of unorthodox cultivation technique. As a result, all of their skin and hair were black instead of white-grey due to aging.

The Third Elder of the Ghost-Emperor Sect knew an unorthodox technique that allowed him to attack self-cultivators with sound waves that could shatter the self-cultivators' spirits.

Qixuan Zhenren saw that the Third Elder of the Ghost-Emperor Sect had walked forward and warned, "The competition for the Chief of the world of self-cultivators is about to start. Fighting is forbidden here."

Upon hearing Qixuan Zhenren's words, the Third Elder of the Ghost-Emperor Sect nodded in compliance, "Now that the esteemed Qixuan Zhenren has spoken, I will spare Qingfeng Li's life for now."

Needless to say, as a senior figure in the world of self-cultivators in Huaxia, Qixuan Zhenren had unsurpassable power and reputation, even the elder of the Ghost-Emperor Sect had to obey him out of respect.

Qingfeng Li frowned and secretly let out a sigh. He actually did not mind if the elder of the Ghost-Emperor Sect started a fight with him at all. That way, he would have an excuse to badly cripple him.

Now that Qixuan Zhenren had warned the crowd about fighting, Qingfeng Li had to show respect as well, so he refrained himself.

The crowd had moved to the plaza at the front and patiently waited for Qixuan Zhenren to speak again.

However, Qixuan Zhenren seemed to be still waiting for other powerhouses to show up, as he remained silent.

A moment later, an aeroboat flew across the sky and landed in front of the crowd.

The aeroboat was enormous, the size of a small mountain. Every part of the aeroboat was made with precious meteor stones.

Moreover, countless Heavenly Dao talisman scriptures were carved on the surface of the aeroboat. Between the heavenly Dao talisman scriptures lined a great amount of rough stones. The flight array formation formed by the rough stones and talisman scriptures was the reason this enormous aeroboat could fly.

The front of the aeroboat held many people, and the leader of them all was a middle-aged man who was likely in his late 30s. Every feature on his face displayed his resiliance and strength - his square face, bold and dark eyebrows, and straight Grecian nose. Wearing a long teal robe, every part of him was giving out a powerful aura.

A single glance downward exuded terrifying atmosphere, and everyone couldn't help but lower their heads, too afraid to look up again.

Qingfeng Li also felt a sting in his eyes. He could tell that this middle-aged man was immensely powerful and had invincible strength, even more so than the Sect Masters of the Blaze Sect and the Ghost-Emperor Sect.

Qingfeng Li asked Fengwu Cao who was standing next to him, "Who is this? How is he so strong?"

Fengwu Cao looked concerned and replied solemnly, "I had read about him in the Hidden Figures of the World of Self-cultivators in Huaxia. He is Taixu Jiang, the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect."

"Five-Elements Sect? What kind of sect is that?" Qingfeng Li asked as he frowned.

Looking even more concerned, Fengwu Cao whispered, "Qingfeng Li, let me tell you this. The Five-Elements Sect is an advanced emperor level sect, and their Sect Master is a master at the eighth level of the Spirit Emperor Realm - he is invincible."

Fengwu Cao's words brought a hint of worry onto Qingfeng Li's face. He now understood why he felt oppressed by the presence of this middle-aged man. Masters in the eighth Level of the Spirit Emperor Realm were extremely powerful. At his current level, Qingfeng Li would not stand a chance against them.

Qingfeng Li was surprised that the competition for the alliance chief of the world of self-cultivators in Huaxia had drawn out so many hidden monsters.

Qingfeng Li had heard that the Five-Elements Sect had their heritage from the ancient continents. Even back then, the Five-Elements Sect was an acclaimed sect with great reputation. The sect was situated on the Five-Elements Mountain, an alp with a long history tracing back to the primordial chaos.

The Five-Elements Mountain supposedly had existed since the primordial chaos and had survived the prehistoric era, the uncivilized era, and the ancient era. Even now, the Five-Elements Mountain still stood firm and upright, only now, the location of the Five-Elements Mountain had become a secret to many self-cultivators. It was said to be hidden in a clandestine corner of the Earth, even more difficult to locate than the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.

What were the five elements? They were Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth - the most basic forces of the world and the most basic elements of life.

Qingfeng Li gave Black Puppy a little kick and asked quietly, "Puppy, do you think you can defeat the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect?"

Black Puppy rolled its eyes as it responded, "Even back in the ancient era, when I was at the top of my game, I was only able to tie with the Saints from the Five-Elements Sect. Now that their Sect Master is at the Eighth Level of the Spirit Emperor Realm, and I have only just entered the Spirit Emperor Realm, I am certainly no match for him."
