82: C82 The Elder Apologized

C82 The Elder Apologized

The anguish on Tong Dong's and Zheng Chao's faces was palpable. Their cultivation base and arms could no longer be rebuilt, no matter what they did. They could only face the anguish of of being crippled in the future.

"Who's causing all this ruckus?"

A stately voice sounded from not far away at that instant, and it drew everybody's attention.

A middle-aged guy approached them from a distance. This individual was dressed in Elder's long robe, and he was taking large steps while he walked. With only one glance, it was clear that he was an extraordinary figure.

"It's Elder Liang! Elder Liang has arrived!"

This man's identity was recognized by someone.

Everyone moved out of the path to allow Elder Liang to pass.

Zheng Chao's dead eyes quickly brightened up as he heard this. In his thoughts, a strategy for dealing with Ye Feng emerged instantaneously.

He got up and hurriedly approached Elder Liang. "Elder Liang, I'm glad to see you here," he murmured as if he had found his savior.

Elder Liang frowned. He instantly saw that Zheng Chao's cultivation base had been decimated, and he inquired, "What happened?"

"Ye Feng disregarded Elder Liang's prior reprimand and returned to the Central Square. When I tried to stop him, he destroyed my cultivation base using vile methods. He didn't seem to mind Elder Liang's punishment at all. Following that, Tong Dong came to seek retribution for me, but he lost both of his arms to Ye Feng in the process. He may be considered to have broken all of the rules. Elder Liang, please seek retribution for the both of us!"

Zheng Chao exclaimed. He accused Ye Feng of disobeying Elder's punishment at once.

"Wait. There's such a thing?"

Elder Liang was taken aback. Regardless of whether he used dirty methods to kill Zheng Chao's cultivation and chop off Tong Dong's arms, his power must not be weak.

He noticed a handsome face in the direction where Zheng Chao's finger was pointing. He couldn't stop himself from frowning even more.

"It was you?"

Elder Liang readily recognized Ye Feng. He was very affected by Ye Feng's attitude, particularly what he said at the end.

"I'll return to this square again someday. You can only welcome me when that time comes."

Elder Liang recalled Ye Feng had requested that he welcome him. Ye Feng was certainly conceited.

Elder Liang had a strong impression of Ye Feng, but he dismissed Ye Feng's statements. Was it Ye Feng's intention for him to greet him? Was it even possible?

Even though he possessed immense strength, he had no right to prevent Ye Feng from entering the square until there was a chance that he could engrave his name on the Heavenly Profound Ranking list.

This, however, seemed to be unlikely. No matter how brilliant a disciple was, he would not be able to reach the Heavenly Profound Ranking in a short amount of time if he had just joined a sect.

This was even more hard since Ye Feng seemed nondescript.

"It's me. It's been a while since I've seen you,"

Ye Feng answered in a hushed tone. Even when confronted by Elder of the Martial Mansion, his voice remained apathetic, with no trace of humility at all.

"Isn't it true that I punished you by denying you access to Central Square for the rest of your life? By coming here, are you disregarding my words?"

Elder Liang said categorically. He was taken aback when he observed Ye Feng's cultivation base. When he first saw Ye Feng a few days ago, his cultivation base was only at the Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage. But in less than a month, it had already progressed to the Peak Stage of the Eighth Layer of Body Refining. This rate of cultivation was genuinely alarming.

Even with Ye Feng's peak Eighth Layer of Body Refining Stage cultivation base, it seemed that Zheng Chao and Tong Dong were still undefeatable. Why did Zheng Chao claim that this guy destroyed his cultivation base and chopped off Tong Dong's arms?

Elder Liang was baffled by this.

"I promised you that one day I would return to this place, and that day has arrived!"

Ye Feng's face remained relaxed. He didn't want to spend any more time here, but these guys had repeatedly prodded him to do so.

"This name seems familiar, Ye Feng."

Elder Liang's eyes twinkled as he heard Ye Feng utter his name. He seemed to be familiar with this name as if he had previously heard or seen it. He couldn't recall it for a little while.

Everyone looked shocked, and many of them shared Elder Liang's sentiments. They were both acquainted with the name Ye Feng.

"Yes, this young guy is Ye Feng! He was the one who had just finished fourth on the Body Refining Board. It's no surprise that he's so powerful. Zheng Chao and Tong Dong, both specialists in the Body Refining Board, got hurt easily because of him. Even Zhen Liang, a fighter of the Qi Condensation Stage, feared him as well."

The audience erupted in excitement. The stele that towered into the skies caught everyone's attention, and they automatically lifted their heads to gaze at it. The name Ye Feng appeared above the fourth position.

Everyone was aware of what was going on. Their only sensation was a strong quivering of their hearts. Ye Feng, who had just created a tumult in the Martial Mansion, turned out to be the Eighth Layer of Body Refining Stage disciple standing in front of them.

Ye Feng was a very remarkable figure who had a tyrannical personality. They believed Zheng Chao and Tong Dong would be able to subdue Ye Feng, but they were wrong. That was only a farce. Now it seemed that their thoughts were completely absurd. How could this young guy in front of them rival Zheng Chao and Tong Dong? They couldn't possibly be on the same level.

Ye Feng has recently gained a lot of attention. People would always have unlimited subjects to speak about whenever his name was mentioned.

The people in the square had never heard of Ye Feng before, but now that they knew he was standing in front of them, and they regarded him with reverence.

"How is this even possible? Is he the Ye Feng who just raised a stir in Martial Mansion?"

The faces of Zheng Chao and Tong Dong were further perplexed. Zheng Chao mumbled something to himself, and his eyes appeared lifeless. He would have tried to curry favor with Ye Feng if he had realized he had upset someone great. How could he have provoked Ye Feng without remorse?

Elder Liang's face was constantly shifting. How could he not know who this young guy was at this moment?

The Body Refining Board rated Ye Feng fourth. He had made it to the sixth platform under the Heavenly Chasm Falls. After Dugu Loong, he had attained enlightenment and had become another person who had performed such a tremendous deed.

He had won the Profound Sky Valley Trial first place and had defeated Chen Aotian, Shangguan Hong, and the other geniuses. With his own might, he had murdered scores of high Body Refining Stage experts outside of the Tianxuan Valley.

On the combat stage of the Martial Dao Lecture, he had accomplished a miraculous feat. He had defeated the Holy Church of Desire's Son of God, Feng Gan, Zhou Mubai, and a few more geniuses in four bouts. He even killed Feng Gan and Zhou Mubai.

Also, Zhou Mubai's cultivation base had already broken through to the Qi Condensation realm before the conflict, yet he was nonetheless slain by Ye Feng. Ye Feng was too powerful.

They considered all Ye Feng had done in Martial Mansion these days. It wasn't surprising that he could maim Zheng Chao and Tong Dong so easily.

"Did you say your name is Ye Feng?"

Elder Liang asked, still unable to trust what he was hearing.

"Do you have an issue with this, Elder?"

Ye Feng nodded. His face was serene and poised, and his attitude seemed impassive.

"You've progressed from a new disciple to the Body Refining Board's fourth disciple in less than a month. You are, without a doubt, a remarkable individual. It seems that I have a bias against you. Please accept my apologies."

said Elder Liang with a smile, though his face was a little off-kilter. He had a careless attitude and didn't mind apologizing to Ye Feng in front of everyone. He seemed to have a great deal of respect for Ye Feng.

Elder Liang was, without a doubt, a wise guy. Ye Feng has shown his exceptional abilities, and he would undoubtedly be honored by the Martial Mansion in the future. His forthcoming accomplishments would be boundless from this point.

Elder Liang seemed to have transformed into a different person. He even complimented Ye Feng, as if nothing bad had ever ensued between them in the past.

Everyone's hearts swelled with delight as they observed this scene. Elder Liang was the Martial Mansion's Elder and held a position of great power. He had expressed remorse to Ye Feng in front of everyone. This demonstrated Ye Feng's current importance. Elder had no choice but to bow his head and apologize to him when necessary.

"What you said, Elder Liang, was much too serious. I'm only a disciple. How am I supposed to accept your apology?"

Ye Feng did not need to continue disputing with Elder Liang since he was aware of the issue and had given him enough face. After all, they didn't share any profound animosity. As a result, Ye Feng's statements turned more gracious.

"Elder Liang, you..."

Zheng Chao's face has darkened. He had expected Elder Liang to help him in dealing with Ye Feng, but he had not foreseen the present circumstance.2

"What right do you have to talk here, you piece of trash? You violated the square's regulations and went out of your way to aggravate Ye Feng. His decision to cripple your cultivation was plausible. Get the hell out of here. You're not welcome in Central Square anymore!"

Elder Liang called out, his visage clouded after hearing Zheng Chao's disparaging comments.

Zheng Chao's cheeks flushed, and he cursed inwardly. Elder Liang's viewpoint had shifted in such a short period. The relationship between him and Ye Feng had entirely changed now that he was called trash while Ye Feng was considered genius. Everything had taken on a new level of realism. Benefits were always prioritized in the martial arts world.

One might easily kick someone away if that person was worthless to the other.

Everyone sighed in their hearts. People paid much too much heed to reality's advantages.

Ye Feng had the same sentiment. He didn't agree with Elder Liang's actions, but all this has nothing to do with him.

Zheng Chao was to blame for the repercussions he was now facing. Ye Feng was scared that if he wasn't powerful enough, he would be the one to have his cultivation hindered.

The world of the mighty was a terrible place. Others would respect you if you were powerful, while some people would despise you if you were weak.

Ye Feng took an oath on the Central Square once, and he declared, "One day, I will return to this square again, and you can only welcome me back then."

And he did it today!

Not only did Ye Feng demonstrate his might in front of everyone in the Central Square, but he also had the great and mighty Elder Liang say sorry to him for the public to see.

After that, Ye Feng continued his conversation with Elder Liang for a little longer before walking toward the Martial Arts Pavilion.

The audience broke into an uproar as they saw Ye Feng's figure fade away into the distance. Perhaps, like Dugu Loong and Ni Zhantian, he would become a legendary figure soon.

The Heavenly Profound Ranking's structure had been changed by Ye Feng's arrival. Everyone looked forward to Ye Feng's performance in the Martial House Tournament more than a month later.
