Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 434: Chapter 433: Sea Demon Clan

"Of course, there is an Inner Sect trial. How could an Inner Sect Disciple of my Star Sect be compared to those of ordinary sects? Every single one of our Inner Sect Disciples is a powerhouse in their own right, a pillar of the sect, a dragon among men!"

Inside the great hall, the White-robed Great Power swept his gaze over the seven of them, a faint, cold smile touching his lips.

"Not a single Inner Sect Disciple in my Star Sect is a useless parasite who does nothing but take resources. And of course, the Star Sect will not tolerate such leeches!"

The seven disciples’ expressions turned grim.

Qin Feng lowered his eyes and nodded to himself.

"Generally speaking, for an Outer Disciple to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple, not only must their Cultivation Realm and Contribution Points meet the requirements, but they must also pass an Inner Sect trial!"

"Although you’ve become Inner Sect Disciples in a single leap, you are no exception. You must also undergo the Inner Sect trial." The White-robed Great Power paused slightly before continuing, "I am aware that some of you already possess an Inner Sect Disciple Token and can be considered Inner Sect Disciples of the Star Sect. However, if you cannot pass this test, you will only have the title of an Inner Sect Disciple—an honorary one at that. You will not receive the sect’s resources, nor will you be appointed to any positions!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng thought to himself, ’The Star Sect truly lives up to its name as a behemoth that rules over a domain. This comprehensive promotion system for disciples is just a glimpse of its full scope, but it speaks volumes!’

Qin Feng was actually no stranger to Inner Sect Disciple missions. Elder Qingmu had told him about them before.

The difficulty of these Inner Sect Disciple missions varied greatly; it all depended on the luck of the Outer Disciples.

Normally, when Outer Disciples of the Star Sect wanted to be promoted to the Inner Sect, they had to choose a mission from the Inner Sect trial mission board.

After this verbal lashing, the White-robed Great Power glanced at the seven of them.

"However, you are all still young. Based on your performance in the Star Martial Arts Assembly, the sect will grant you some special consideration, but this consideration is limited. These are the Inner Sect trial missions that the Elders of the various peaks have formulated for you!"

"What? The Elders of the various peaks personally created our Inner Sect trial missions?"

At this, all seven of them were shaken.

Clearly, the seven were no strangers to the Inner Sect trial missions.

This also showed how highly the Elders of the various peaks regarded them.

However, this also meant that this round of Inner Sect trial missions would be anything but simple.

Qin Feng fell into deep thought.

’Of course it’s not that simple. For you seven little rascals, the higher your talent, the stricter the sect’s demands! I just hope you seven don’t cry when you see your Inner Sect Disciple missions!’

Sweeping his gaze over the seven disciples, who looked either excited, pensive, or solemn, the White-robed Great Power chuckled inwardly.

’However, if they can complete these seven missions, it might truly be a case of a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate...’

For a moment, the White-robed Great Power seemed lost in thought, as if recalling the time he himself entered the Inner Sect.

The White-robed Great Power waved his hand, and an Elder immediately walked over carrying a Jade Disc. Seven bright yellow Scrolls rested upon it.

Shenxiu, Ye Ding, Qin Feng, Zhang Xuan, Chu Sa, Wang Dao Yi, and Ling Shuanghua each picked up a Scroll.

"These are your Inner Sect missions. They are top secret. If you leak the details and attract unnecessary trouble, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

Hearing this, the seven disciples’ expressions turned startled, and they quickly put the Scrolls away.

The White-robed Great Power’s gaze swept across the hall.

"Alright, you may leave now. I am Elder Qinglin, Elder of Zhang Yuefeng. In the future, if any of you seven join my Zhang Yuefeng, you may come and see me!"

As his voice fell, the White-robed Great Power took a step toward the exit of the hall, and with that single step, his figure vanished into the Void.

...

「One hour later」

Qin Feng walked out of a Side Hall.

Remembering the trial mission he saw on the Scroll, Qin Feng’s mouth twitched.

’They actually want me to go to Yunhu City and wipe out the Sea Demon Clan! I knew the Star Sect wouldn’t be so generous as to give away such a rich city as a fiefdom. It turns out they have some huge problem they can’t solve, so they’re just sending us disciples who received fiefdoms to act as a fire brigade!’

Qin Feng’s face was grim. The Sea Demon Clan was a type of Demon Fiend. Like Mermaids, they had human torsos and fish tails. Their hair was silver-white, and their eyes and scales were the iridescent color of Liuli. The men of the Sea Demon Clan were handsome, and the women were stunningly beautiful.

Compared to the Mermaid race, the Sea Demon Clan was stronger, more aggressive, and more destructive. They had a natural affinity for Water Veins, lived in Spirit Lakes and oceans, and delighted in stirring up trouble.

They called themselves the Royal Race of the ocean and possessed the Divine Blood of the Sea God.

In a way, this ocean-dwelling Alien Race could be considered relatives of Qin Feng.

They also loved to rob people.

Furthermore, based on Qin Feng’s knowledge of the Sea Demon Clan, these Sea Demons usually operated in entire clans. Among those who dared to come out and plunder, there were often Sea Demon Queens at the Great Power Level.

In short, completing this Inner Sect trial would be exceptionally difficult.

Fortunately, this Inner Sect trial mission had no time limit. This must be the "special consideration" from the sect that the White-robed Great Power mentioned.

’This Yunhu City fiefdom won’t be easy to claim!’

Complaining inwardly, Qin Feng turned and walked out of the hall. The other six disciples emerging from the hall also wore looks of distress.

Qin Feng’s gaze swept to the side. Ye Ding was also scowling, a clear sign that his Taiwu City came with big trouble, too.

Just then, Ye Ding’s gaze also landed on Qin Feng. Their eyes met, and they both gave a cold smile.

After leaving the Side Hall, Qin Feng planned to first return to Heavenly Red Peak to take care of a few things. Then, he would take the opportunity to complete his Cultivation of the Five Elements Spiritual Veins before finding the right moment to head to Yunhu City.

Qin Feng decided to first go to the Contribution Hall to exchange for some Spiritual Objects. Since he would be heading to Yunhu City soon, he had to be fully prepared.

However, just as Qin Feng reached the entrance of the All Stars Academy, a group of several dozen people with joyful expressions rushed over to greet him.

"Are you Elder Qin Feng?" a voice called out, filled with pleasant surprise.

Qin Feng stopped in his tracks, his gaze falling upon the group. The leader was a middle-aged man at the peak of the Condensing Vein Realm. He had his hair tied up in a neat topknot, and his large sleeves fluttered, giving him a rather gentle appearance.

He appeared to be a person of high status within the group. Upon seeing Qin Feng, he seemed quite delighted and hurried over. Beside him stood a white-robed old man with a silver beard tied in a bun. One sweep of Qin Feng’s Divine Thought was all it took for him to know that this was an expert of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.

However, Qin Feng wasn’t concerned. The old man was only at the Sea of Reincarnation First Realm, the Divine Sea Realm. Qin Feng could easily suppress an existence like that.

Qin Feng’s gaze swept through the crowd and landed on a purple-robed youth who was trying to hide, his head lowered.

"Qin Tianjiao?"

A cold smile touched the corner of Qin Feng’s lips.

This group was none other than the people from the Qin Family of Mountain and River City, who had been desperately seeking to get in touch with Qin Feng.

It was just a pity that Qin Feng’s movements were erratic, and they’d had no chance to meet him.

The members of the Qin Family had resorted to a crude method: waiting for him at the entrance of the All Stars Academy.

At this moment, on another side, people from several other of the Nine Great Families of Mountain and River City had also arrived. The Patriarchs of the Yu Family, Xu Family, Song Family, Ning Family, and Zou Family all had their eyes on the leader, Qin Qingsong, their gazes filled with unconcealed envy.

Everyone had heard that the black-robed youth before them had received an ancient city as a fiefdom.

A city that enormous... the black-robed youth definitely couldn’t manage it all by himself. Ultimately, he would need the help of his family. For powers like the Nine Great Families of Mountain and River City, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to soar.
