The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 785 - 781: Myriad Poison Sect

At dawn, when the horizon spilled the pale light of the fishbelly sky, with the passage of time, a fiery red sun sprang from the horizon, bathing the earth with its warm sunlight.

In a dense forest, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining were sitting under a large tree. Due to Ye Chenfeng’s constant running earlier, many places on their clothes were slashed with small cuts.

Xia Zining, however, hadn’t expended an iota of strength, since it had been Ye Chenfeng who had been carrying her as they ran. In contrast, Ye Chenfeng appeared much more disheveled, with dense beads of sweat covering his forehead and cheeks, and his breathing was a bit labored through his nose. Nevertheless, his eyes remained fixed on what lay behind them.

About a hundred meters behind Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining, two old men were also seated under a large tree. These men were the Second Elder, Lu Douwen, and the Third Elder, Yu Qianshi, from the Tianshan Sect. They looked even more haggard than Ye Chenfeng. Throughout the day and night’s chase, Ye Chenfeng had kept them running to places with traps, preventing them from catching up to his pace.

But every person reaches the limit of their strength eventually, even masters of the Sky-breaking Realm were no exception. Thus, the two old men would stop to rest from time to time, and when they did, Ye Chenfeng would stop as well, maintaining a distance of about one to two hundred meters between them.

Of course, Ye Chenfeng had considered continuing to run with Xia Zining while the two old men behind them rested. However, his own Soul Force was also severely depleted. If he were to run away then, given his physical condition and other factors, he knew they couldn’t get far. Once the two elders regained their strength and caught up to them, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining would have been out of luck.

The clothes on Lu Douwen’s and Yu Qianshi’s bodies had become ragged, and their old faces and arms bore numerous cuts. These injuries were surely caused by the traps Ye Chenfeng had set in advance. The two elders, revered as middle-stage Sky-breaking masters in the Tianshan Sect, were now in such a pathetic state while chasing after two youngsters, fueling an immense frustration in them.

Suddenly, Lu Douwen stood up from the ground. Seeing this, Ye Chenfeng immediately stood up as well and directly tucked Xia Zining by his waist. Xia Zining only slightly furrowed her eyebrows without uttering a word; she knew she was a burden to Ye Chenfeng at this point. Ye Chenfeng could have left her behind to escape on his own, but he hadn’t done so. Just this fact alone made Xia Zining deeply grateful to him.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng so vigilant, Lu Douwen grew furious, his beard bristling as he glaringly shouted, "Boy in front, listen well. Our Tianshan Sect has no quarrel with you, yet you have wrought havoc within our sect. You have become an enemy we cannot rest until we’ve dealt with. If you are willing to accept our Tianshan Sect’s handling of this, we can spare your family."

Ye Chenfeng always regarded such sanctimonious words with disdain. The world has always adhered to the principle of victors writing history, especially so in the Ancient Martial World, where strength is revered above all. Therefore, he was certain that what Lu Douwen said was as good as nonsense.

Besides, even if what Lu Douwen said was true, what of it? Ye Chenfeng’s family was in the Secular World, and top-tier clan disciples were barred from entering the Secular World—a restriction among the top-tier powers. Any sect that violated this rule would be attacked by the others en masse.

Ye Chenfeng looked coldly at Lu Douwen, who was a hundred meters away, and scoffed, "Tianshan Sect and I have no grievances? Your Tianshan Sect slaughtered all the disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect and the Zhentian Sect. I, Ye Chenfeng, will surely bury the entirety of your Tianshan Sect."

By now, there was no need for Ye Chenfeng to conceal his identity. Would those two elders behind him let him go if he wasn’t Ye Chenfeng? Since they were at a point with the Tianshan Sect where they could not coexist, and if he managed to escape this time, all he needed was to switch to another Human Skin Mask. Then who would recognize him? It was better to take the chance to aggravate the two elders, perhaps creating an opportunity to escape.

After speaking, Ye Chenfeng tore off the Human Skin Mask from his face. Wearing the mask had been very uncomfortable.

Although Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi did not participate in the massacre of the Ghost Doctor Sect and the Zhentian Sect, they were very familiar with the event and had even seen portraits of Ye Chenfeng. Now seeing Ye Chenfeng remove his mask to reveal a familiar face, even the Third Elder, Yu Qianshi, stood up in disbelief, saying, "How, how could this be? You’re Ye Chenfeng? You are actually that Ye Chenfeng?"

The revelation caused both elders, not just Yu Qianshi, to feel a surge of astonishment. To their knowledge, the Ye Chenfeng of the Zhentian Sect was at best of Innate level, and that Ye Chenfeng was from the Secular World—how could such a person have killed the Myriad Poison Sect’s Elder Feng Qianshui, who was at the initial stage of the Sky-breaking Realm?

While Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi were stunned, Ye Chenfeng felt some of his Soul Force return. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he once again employed the Storm Step Technique, moving away like a swift gale towards the distance. After constantly using the Storm Step Technique for a day and a night, Ye Chenfeng’s speed was now faster than ever.

"This isn’t good, the boy has been distracting us on purpose," Lu Douwen quickly came to his senses upon seeing the figure about to vanish from sight, urgently saying.

Consequently, the two elders didn’t dare to delay any longer. They pushed their middle-stage Sky-Breaking True Energy Force to the limit and rapidly pursued Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining.

...

Myriad Poison Sect is located on Myriad Poison Mountain, and like Tianshan Sect, it belongs to a third-rate power among the top forces.

The sunlight from the sky poured onto the earth, and today, the training ground of the Myriad Poison Sect was bustling because today was the day of the sect’s public disciple selection.

As the name suggests, the Myriad Poison Sect is best known for its expertise in poisons, and the criterion for selecting disciples is to see how strong their talent for concocting poisons is.

At the moment, tables were set up in the center of the Myriad Poison Sect’s training ground, with various types of herbs placed on them. In front of each table was a youth tinkering with the herbs; these were the people who had come to participate in the sect’s disciple selection today.

Temporary stands were erected around the Myriad Poison Sect’s training ground, where disciples from the sect watched today’s selection, while a middle-aged man with a black mark on the left side of his face sat in the foremost seat. The man exuded a cold aura and focused his gaze on the participants of today’s selection. This man was Kang Baiyin, the current Sect Leader of the Myriad Poison Sect, and his strength had reached the peak of the Sky-Breaking Realm.

Sitting beside Kang Baiyin was a man in his seventies or eighties, garbed in a white robe stained with various colors. However, it seemed he didn’t care about the stains in the slightest, and no one around dared to make any remarks about the old man’s attire.

This old man, named Yuan Fengyang, was the Great Elder of the Myriad Poison Sect and was also the most skilled in concocting poisons. He almost always kept to the alchemy rooms, and the stains on his clothes were most likely caused by poison concoction. His strength had also reached the peak of the Sky-Breaking Realm, and even Sect Leader Kang Baiyin did not dare to order him around.

"Sect Leader, it seems that the participants in our Myriad Poison Sect’s disciple selection this year don’t have very impressive poisoning talents," Yuan Fengyang said, shaking his head.

"Great Elder, how could people with exceptional talents be so easy to come by?" Sect Leader Kang Baiyin said with a smile, although his smile, combined with the black mark on his face, looked extremely unsightly. free𝑤ebnovel.com

...

In the dense forest.

Ye Chenfeng, with Xia Zining tucked at his waist, was running swiftly. He had thought that he could use the opportunity just now to completely shake off the two old men behind him, but he had underestimated the desperate speed of Sky-Breaking middle-stage experts, and the distance between them had closed once again.

What was worse, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining had already run out of the forest, without the terrain of the forest to aid their escape, they would likely be caught up by Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi very soon.

After running out of the forest, Ye Chenfeng saw a high mountain in the distance. Some majestic buildings were faintly visible on the mountain. Next to the mountain was a dense grove of trees. Running up the mountain would definitely not be wise, as Ye Chenfeng guessed that the mountain was probably a sect, and they would end up cornered by the two old men. Hence, Ye Chenfeng’s target was the grove beside the mountain; once they entered the grove, they could hold off the two old men for some time.

Just as Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining had barely escaped the forest, Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi also ran out quickly. The two old men saw that Ye Chenfeng was heading for a grove ahead. They knew the grove would be very disadvantageous for their pursuit.

Lu Douwen said, "Ahead is Myriad Poison Mountain. We can’t let this beast escape into the forest again. We must force him onto Myriad Poison Mountain. The people of Myriad Poison Sect will certainly block this kid’s path. Then, catching him should be effortless."
