The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Not long after.

Ye Feng found Mo Ying and handed her a large pile of Formation Flags, saying, “I need you to set up the Mini Earth Element Slaughter Array to temporarily act as our Misty Sect’s Sect Protection Array.”

“Is the Sect Leader sure about this?” Mo Ying frowned slightly, “Even if we only activate the shield of the array and run it at the lowest consumption, in one month, the Middle Grade Spirit Stones embedded in the Formation Flags will be depleted.”

“Sure and certain,”

Ye Feng gave his response.

Even though the existing Middle Grade Spirit Stones would run out within a month, it wasn’t much to worry about for the sake of the sect’s safety.

“Alright, leave it to me!”

Mo Ying picked up the Core Formation Flag, infused her Spiritual Energy into it, waved it lightly, and twelve large flags swiftly flew up. They were inserted at intervals of thirty meters along the edge of Misty Peak’s cliffs, emitting Spiritual Light to form an irregular bowl-shaped shield that turned upside down, enveloping the Misty Sect within it.

If not under attack, the shield’s consumption was small, and it could hold for a month without issues.

If faced with an external assault, that would be another matter.

“You will temporarily be in charge of the Formation Flags.”

Having said that, Ye Feng leapt up to the roof of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall and began his tedious day.

As for Mo Ying, holding the Core Formation Flag, she hadn’t expected the Sect Leader to trust her so much, to entrust her with the control of the vitally important Sect Protection Array. Her heart warmed once again.

Fuyun Gloomy Forest.

Three close friends rode on Spirit Swords, flying towards Beacon Fire City at a speed of ten meters per second.

“I’ve noticed that the Spiritual Energy consumption is a bit fast, could it be because you guys are too heavy?” Huo Yunjie held a Spirit Stone, replenishing Spiritual Energy while saying so.

Shi Lei scratched his head, “Maybe I ate too much for breakfast!”

Long Tianxing, “Senior Brother Second, it’s my fault, I should have taken care of a big business before we left.”

Huo Yunjie,

He really had the urge to throw Long Tianxing and Shi Lei off!

An hour and a half later.

The three finally arrived at Beacon Fire City, and entered a large estate in the east of the city named “Huo Residence.”

“What a large estate, it’s almost like my uncle’s place. So, Senior Brother Second’s family background is also this good,” Long Tianxing said, pointing to the impressive gate of Huo Residence.

Shi Lei, noting the two willow leaf-shaped symbols behind the words “Huo Residence,” expressed his surprise, “So Yunjie’s family is a Middle Rank sect-level family, but why did you join the Misty Sect?”

“It’s a bit complicated.”

Huo Yunjie stored his Spirit Sword away, and sighed.

At that moment, two Qi Refinement Layer Three guards stationed at the gate saw Huo Yunjie and their expressions changed, but the next moment, they still bowed and said, “Young Master, you’ve finally returned. The Madam personally instructed that as soon as you returned, you should find her in the backyard… And these two gentlemen are?”

Huo Yunjie said, “These two are my sect brothers.”

“So they are disciples of the Misty Sect.” The guards looked at each other, feeling a bit strange. Hadn’t they heard that the Misty Sect was nearly bankrupt? How did they still have two disciples who seemed pretty decent?

Especially Long Tianxing, with his silver hair and blue pupils, he looked somewhat exotic, making them involuntarily take a step back.

“I’ll go see my mother first.”

Huo Yunjie walked ahead leading the way into the familiar yet somewhat strange Huo Residence, feeling a mix of emotions.

Thump, thump, thump!

A series of footsteps approached.

Huo Yunjie looked in the direction of the sound and coincidently saw a lean young boy running towards him. Their eyes met, and both involuntarily showed joy.

“Big brother, you’ve finally come back!”

The young boy ran over, his eyes brimming with excitement.

Huo Yunjie patted the boy on the shoulder, “Yun Hao, you’ve gotten taller, and your cultivation has reached the Fifth Layer of Qi Refinement. You truly deserve to be the genius who has been accepted into a High Ranked Sect, ‘Yunhua Sect,’ under the tutelage of an Element Gathering Realm Great Elder.”

“Senior Brother, Junior Brother Long, this is my brother ‘Huo Yunhao,’ a disciple under the tutelage of the Yunhua Sect’s Element Gathering Realm Great Elder,” Huo Yunjie turned and introduced him to Shi Lei and Long Tianxing.

“So it’s the virtuous younger brother!” Shi Lei nodded in greeting.

Long Tianxing also said, “You truly are the brother of Second Senior Brother, having reached the Fifth Layer of Qi Refinement as well.”

Huo Yunhao glanced at Shi Lei and Long Tianxing, a shock rising in his heart.

Because, he realized that he could not see through their cultivation levels!

Even Huo Yunjie’s cultivation level was beyond his perception.

“Big brother, why can’t I see through your cultivation levels?” Huo Yunhao asked in surprise, “You couldn’t have had a fortuitous encounter and are now close to the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement, could you?”

Upon hearing Huo Yunhao mention cultivation levels, Huo Yunjie was filled with emotion.

He was, after all, of a Lower Grade constitution and had a special background not welcomed in the Huo Residence. Unable to keep pace with his brother, who had a Middle Grade constitution, he would, based on his usual rate of cultivation, be at most at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refinement.

Even if he cultivated until old age, it would be impossible for him to ascend to the Element Gathering Realm.

But ever since Ye Feng took charge of the Misty Sect, Huo Yunjie experienced earth-shattering changes, and in less than a month, he reached the peak of the Seventh Layer of Qi Refinement.

With such a cultivation level, even placed in front of the old master of the Huo Residence who did not welcome him, it would be sufficient to attract attention.

However, Huo Yunjie disdained the other’s regard.

As he was about to speak, a loud shout interrupted him.

“You little rascal, you dare to come back?”

An imposing figure with the stride of a dragon and the steps of a tiger approached.

This person was a middle-aged man dressed in brocade, wearing a round hat, his beard tough as steel needles, as if a fierce general from the battlefield.

“Dad, how can you talk to big brother like that!” Huo Yunhao immediately blocked the front.

The Huo Residence’s old master, “Huo Daxiong,” sneered and said, “Yunhao, how many times has Dad told you, this little rascal shares a mother but not a father with you, he may be your big brother, but he’s not my child… And furthermore, joining a mere Lower Rank Sect, truly bringing disgrace on our Huo Residence. I want to see just what progress he could have made after a few months of absence!”

Huo Daxiong unleashed the aura of the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement, instantly stepping past Huo Yunhao, and his hand struck towards Huo Yunjie.

“Senior and junior brothers, no need to take action, let me handle this.”

Huo Yunjie’s eyes turned cold, he charged forward, clashing palms with Huo Daxiong midair, unleashing a staggering momentum.

Bang!

Huo Yunjie staggered back three steps, his breathing steady.Y0u can read sh0rt, t0uching, and r0mantic st0ries ab0ut c0uples, as well as children’s st0ries f0r free 0n sitest0rys . c0m

Huo Daxiong retreated five steps, causing the ground to dent beneath him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“The peak of the Seventh Layer of Qi Refinement… How could a Lower Rank Sect possibly allow you to make such swift breakthroughs?”

Huo Daxiong was shocked.

Just now, he had only used the strength of the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement, intending to suppress Huo Yunjie a bit, to make him submit, but who would have thought that Huo Yunjie would burst forth with all his power, numbing his arm.

“Big brother, you’re incredible!”

Huo Yunhao had always admired his big brother, thinking him capable of enduring hardships and possessing perseverance. Now, seeing Huo Yunjie actually overpower Huo Daxiong, he was nearly bowled over.

“Uncle, the Misty Sect isn’t as simple as you imagine,” Huo Yunjie withdrew his hand and said gravely.

At the age of two, his biological father fell, and his mother, with him in tow, remarried into the Huo Residence. Because he was not Huo Daxiong’s own son, he always suffered disdain, and hence, he addressed Huo Daxiong merely as “uncle.”

“Damn Huo Daxiong, you dare to rough up my Jie, then don’t blame your old mother for jabbing you!”

A sharp voice rang out, shaking the entire Huo Residence, and everybody knew, the lady of the house was on a rampage again!

Shi Lei and Long Tianxing, who had been watching the drama, looked towards the source of the voice and saw a beautiful woman lifting her skirt with one hand and holding a pair of scissors in the other, charging over with fiery haste.

Her speed and posture were a match for Brother Flathead.

“Mom, don’t bother with him,”

Huo Yunjie quickly stopped the woman.

“My child, you finally came back. Oh my, you’ve gotten so thin, and look at that frame, not robust enough. You’ve gone from one pack to a six-pack, how will any matchmaking prospects fancy you now? According to me, you should eat more and gain some flesh. At least weigh two hundred pounds to be considered standard…”

Upon seeing Huo Yunjie, the woman immediately dropped the scissors, coincidentally sticking them into the foot of the Huo Residence’s old master, Huo Daxiong, and then she took Yunjie’s face in her hands, chattering non-stop.

“Here we go again…”

Huo Yunjie couldn’t stand his overly nagging mother and quickly changed the subject, asking, “Mom, you called me back, it’s not really to arrange a marriage for me, is it?”
