The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 683: Take a Setback

The voice of the Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect was not low, and his words quickly spread across the square of the Guiyuan Sect. People around them turned their gaze towards this side in unison, especially some of the Guiyuan Sect disciples responsible for greeting the various martial sects. When they saw the box lying broken in front of Ye Chenfeng, their eyes revealed unfriendly looks.

"Chenfeng, what’s going on?" Sun Boyi, who had been catching up with an old acquaintance, also noticed the commotion around Ye Chenfeng and walked over to him with Sun Yang’an and others.

Ye Chenfeng ignored the Qingyun Sect Great Elder’s shouting and pointed to Xia Zining next to him, asking, "Grand Elder, I was wondering if she could join our Zhen Tian Sect. Would that be possible?"

"Chenfeng, you don’t need to ask me about such trifles. You are completely capable of making this decision yourself," Sun Boyi said heartily.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, looked at Xia Zining beside him, and asked, "Would you like to join the Zhen Tian Sect?"

There was a brief moment of stun on Xia Zining’s face before she replied without hesitation, "I am willing, I am willing."

The five elders of the Qingyun Sect had not expected Ye Chenfeng to have a connection with the Zhen Tian Sect. Not only had Ye Chenfeng smashed their gift, but he was also publicly poaching a disciple of theirs in such an open setting. Although the Qingyun Sect was not a prominent force, was this not excessively humiliating?

This time, not only did the faces of the five elders turn extremely unsightly, but even Sect Leader Qin Baiyan was having trouble maintaining his composure.

Qin Baiyan first bowed his hands to Sun Boyi, saying, "Elder Sun, I didn’t expect you to participate in the Guiyuan Sect Leader’s fiftieth birthday celebration today as well! You are still as vigorous as ever!"

Then, Qin Baiyan turned to Sun Yang’an with a slight smile and added, "Sect Leader Sun, don’t you think you’ve gone a bit too far today? This young man has smashed our gift, and now he wants to poach our Qingyun Sect’s disciple in public. Where does that leave our Qingyun Sect’s face?"

"Exactly, our Sect Leader is right. Today is the birthday of the Guiyuan Sect Leader. Could it be that your Zhen Tian Sect intends to cause trouble here?" the Great Elder fanned the flames, thinking that the Zhen Tian Sect was merely a second-rate force, and that the Guiyuan Sect, being a first-rate force, would surely keep the Zhen Tian Sect from acting rashly if they intervened.

Little did he know that the Zhen Tian Sect could now be considered a first-rate force as well, given that Sun Boyi had already broken through to the Innate Realm. However, the Zhen Tian Sect had not yet made this public.

"If a disciple of your Qingyun Sect wants to leave and join our Zhen Tian Sect, it is a matter of mutual consent. If this former disciple of your Qingyun Sect is unwilling to leave, could I force her? Besides, as for the matters of the Zhen Tian Sect, whatever my grandson says is tantamount to my own words." The Qingyun Sect, a lower-tier sect, was not even slightly regarded by Sun Yang’an. They had come today to support Ye Chenfeng, and it was almost certain that there would be a confrontation with the Guiyuan Sect. Not afraid of even the Guiyuan Sect, why would they fear the Qingyun Sect?

"What’s the matter? Do you few old men want to make a move? I am ready to accompany you to the end," Ye Chenfeng said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.

Standing beside Ye Chenfeng, Sun Xiaoli and Sun Hengfei raised their True Energy as soon as Ye Chenfeng finished speaking. One exuded the imposing aura of a High Grade Heaven Rank from within, while the other released a Middle Grade Heaven Rank aura, their eyes fiercely fixed on the people from Qingyun Sect.

High Grade Heaven Rank at the Peak?

Middle Grade Heaven Rank?

Feeling the aura emanating from Sun Xiaoli and Sun Hengfei, not only did people from the Qingyun Sect, like Qin Baiyan, swallow hard, but the surrounding sects also revealed looks of astonishment. To them, the Zhen Tian Sect was just a second-rate force, so how could they have fostered talents like Sun Xiaoli and Sun Hengfei?

They knew that Sun Hengfei and Sun Xiaoli were only in their twenties, and even the children of first-rate sects were at most at the Middle Grade Heaven Rank in their twenties. But could the Zhen Tian Sect not only nurture a twenty-something Middle Grade Heaven Rank expert but also a twenty-something High Grade Heaven Rank Peak expert?

What did this imply?

This probably means that the Zhen Tian Sect is bound to rise in the future, right? A Heaven Rank High Grade peak master in his twenties is very likely to step into the Innate Realm within his lifetime, or perhaps even higher levels.

If the people from the surrounding sects knew that this young man, Ye Chenfeng, with an air of calm and without showing any aura, had the strength comparable to a master at the middle stage of the Innate Realm, and that both Sun Xiaoli and Sun Hengfei, these two masters, were created by Ye Chenfeng, they would probably be shocked enough to drop their jaws.

"My nephew is right, if you from the Qingyun Sect want to spar, let me, Sun Zhengzhi, keep you company," Ye Chenfeng’s uncle, Sun Zhengzhi, stood out, equally releasing the aura of a Heaven Rank High Grade peak.

"My nephew has been bullied, so how could I, his younger uncle, stand by and watch?" Sun Zhengyi also immediately stood up, a surge of Heaven Rank High Grade peak aura likewise rising from within him.

With the help of Ye Chenfeng’s Soul Force, Sun Zhengzhi and Sun Zhengyi were now both at the Heaven Rank High Grade peak.

"Is this still the Zhen Tian Sect? I remember Sun Zhengzhi and Sun Zhengyi were always at the Heaven Rank Middle Grade, but in no time at all, haven’t seen each other, they both broke through to the Heaven Rank High Grade peak? It seems that the Zhen Tian Sect really is about to rise!"

"This Qingyun Sect, such a non-mainstream sect, why are they being tough with the Zhen Tian Sect? Even if the Zhen Tian Sect was still the same as before, it’s not a sect that they could afford to offend, not to mention that the Zhen Tian Sect has probably already shed its old skin and undergone a complete transformation. Perhaps the Zhen Tian Sect has now reached the qualifications of a first-rate power."

...

The people from other sects surrounding them were in a buzz of discussion.

After Sun Hengfei, Sun Xiaoli, Sun Zhengzhi, and Sun Zhengyi had revealed their strength, the Guiyuan Sect disciples who had been giving Ye Chenfeng unfriendly looks on the square, all retracted their gazes. Compared to the Zhen Tian Sect, Qingyun Sect seemed like a joke to them, and given the potential displayed by the Zhen Tian Sect, they had no reason to pick a fight with Zhen Tian Sect at this time.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Qin Baiyan’s face turned from green to red. However, when he saw Qin Yi standing beside Ye Chenfeng, he deeply sighed in his heart, thinking to himself, "Xiao Yi, even though your friend is the grandson of the Zhen Tian Sect Leader and your current strength has reached Heaven Rank Middle Grade, Guiyuan Sect is a first-rate power, not someplace where Zhen Tian Sect can stick up for you, and you can regain the dignity you lost back then."

The five Great Elders of Qingyun Sect had even larger emotional fluctuations than Qin Baiyan, furious and tumultuous in their hearts. Feeling surrounded by mocking gazes, they felt like they were clowns, and they nearly spat out blood.

Right now, no one from Guiyuan Sect spoke up for Qingyun Sect, and with the astonishing strength displayed by Zhen Tian Sect, what could the five Great Elders of Qingyun Sect do? Originally, with their sect’s status, they had no qualification to attend today’s birthday banquet; they were here to play the clowns.

The five Great Elders tried their best to control their emotions about to burst, and their gazes involuntarily glanced at Qin Yi, standing next to Ye Chenfeng. Since Ye Chenfeng was Qin Yi’s friend, then later, when Qin Yi was inevitably humiliated by Du Baiping, the son of the Guiyuan Sect Leader, Chenfeng wouldn’t just stand by, would he?

So, in their view, there was bound to be a confrontation between Guiyuan Sect and Zhen Tian Sect today.

Once they had figured out this matter, the five old men from Qingyun Sect temporarily swallowed the sullenness in their hearts. Even though Sun Zhengzhi and others had revealed their strength, and even though they knew Ye Chenfeng was formidable, in their eyes, Guiyuan Sect was a first-rate power and probably still capable of suppressing Zhen Tian Sect and dealing with the youngster, Ye Chenfeng.

"My name is Xia Zining," Xia Zining said shyly and softly beside Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng casually replied, "My name is Ye Chenfeng. From now on, you’re a disciple of Zhen Tian Sect. I forgot to thank you for lending me your personal sword."
