Chapter 680
Yi Feng watched the restless crowd, not bothering to listen to what they were saying, as it was too chaotic to make out anyway. He mounted Manman and flew away in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Yi Feng's departing back, the stunned crowd finally snapped out of their shock and shouted, "The senior has left!"
"We haven't even paid our respects yet. How could the senior leave so quickly?"
"Exactly, we haven't even had the chance to pay our respects."
A chorus of fervent voices echoed.
"I think the senior simply didn't want to bother with us. He must be angry with us."
"That's right, who was it that spread the rumor that the senior was just an Eighth Rank Array Master?"
"Judging by the speed at which the senior dismantled Li Yinglian's array, he's at least a Ninth Rank Array Master!"
"Narrow-minded. More accurately, he's a High-Level Ninth Rank Array Master."
"Yes, a High-Level Ninth Rank Array Master. Only such a master could be so formidable.""A High-Level Ninth Rank Array Master, the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm."
"How laughable that you all spread rumors of him being an Eighth Rank Array Master, even starting with rumors of him being just a Sixth Rank. You've all been blind, spreading such falsehoods."
The fervent voices continued to spread.
It was beyond comprehension for ordinary people to fathom the depth of their admiration for Yi Feng.
For those living in the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent, Yi Feng was a living, walking symbol of faith for array masters.
Countless people took to the skies, chasing after Yi Feng's departing direction.
In no time, the once bustling Heavenly Array Pavilion fell into complete silence, leaving only a scene of chaos.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Uh, Ancestor, about this matter..."
Yun Guang approached Li Yinglian, who looked defeated, with a bitter smile, trying to offer comfort. After all, losing to such a supreme array master wasn't something to be too disheartened about.
"Hahahaha."
However, Li Yinglian burst into laughter.
"Yun Guang, immediately, record today's events into our sect's annals."
"State that your ancestor once dueled with a High-Level Ninth Rank Array Master..."
"Hahaha... Remember, a High-Level Ninth Rank."
Li Yinglian stroked his beard and laughed heartily as he walked away.
Seeing Li Yinglian in such a state, Yun Guang's well-prepared words of comfort got stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
When had his ancestor become so enlightened?
Realizing Yun Guang's thoughts, Li Yinglian shot him a glare.
He wasn't a fool.
If Yi Feng had been only slightly stronger, he might not have been able to accept it.
But when he realized that Yi Feng could be a High-Level Ninth Rank Array Master, all his pride dissipated.
The outcome of victory or defeat no longer mattered.
Instead, the very fact of this encounter had become a matter of pride for him.
This event should be something he could boast about for the rest of his life!
"You damn brat, tell me, what's going on?"
Yi Feng returned to his residence in Tianlun City, grabbed Manman by the throat, and immediately began interrogating him.
"Bulu bulu!"
Manman looked at Yi Feng with innocent eyes.
???
Yi Feng was baffled, pinning Manman against the wall and growling, "Brat, spill it, what's the deal?"
"You can fly this fast, so why did you lie to me?"
Yi Feng scolded.
"Bulu bulu."
Manman's antennae trembled, showing his fear.
He began to understand Lu Benwei's predicament.
Would the master also tear me apart?
Thinking of this, he shivered.
Fortunately, Yi Feng didn't resort to violence. Instead, he started arguing with the system.
"Damn system, tell me, what's the deal?"
Yi Feng yelled, "Manman is obviously fast, why didn't you tell me?"
System: "You never asked."
Yi Feng's face darkened.
Suddenly, he spotted a frog hopping by the crack in the wall. He pounced on it, covering it with his hand and lifting its hind legs.
"What about this frog?"
Yi Feng asked sternly.
"It only eats small insects."
The system replied.
"Are you sure?"
Yi Feng frowned.
"Absolutely certain."
The system confirmed.
Yi Feng dropped the frog to the ground and thought of a short figure, asking, "What about Lu Benwei, that shorty?"
"He has a bit of strength, but definitely not on your level, far from it."
The system's voice was firm.
"You sure you're not lying?"
Yi Feng was skeptical.
"Positive."
The system's voice remained resolute.
Hearing the system's confident tone, Yi Feng no longer doubted.
It seemed that Manman was indeed an exception.
Take this frog, for instance. If someone said it was incredibly powerful, Yi Feng wouldn't believe it.
As for Lu Benwei, Yi Feng had always been suspicious of the so-called "Number One Bodyguard's" strength.
But the fact was, when he was still a mortal, he had sparred with Lu Benwei.
Every time, the result was that Lu Benwei got dismantled. If he were really that powerful, it shouldn't have ended that way.
So Yi Feng didn't dwell on the matter anymore. Manman's speed was just an unexpected bonus.
One day later.
The once empty Tianlun City suddenly became bustling again.
The streets were even more crowded than before.
Various versions of rumors spread like wildfire.
Just as Yi Feng was about to head out to find a disciple, he heard these rumors and was dumbfounded.
"What the hell?"
"High-Level Ninth Rank?"
"I've suddenly become a High-Level Ninth Rank Array Master?"
"Are the people of the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent out of their minds?"
Yi Feng couldn't help but roar. There was no way to explain this!
He had no idea that he had walked out of Li Yinglian's array, set up using the Heavenly Array Pavilion's grand formation, in an instant in front of countless onlookers.
So Yi Feng cursed a few times and turned back to his house to start packing.
He had figured it out. There was no point in trying to explain things to these people. Since it was impossible to make them understand, it was better to just cut ties and run.
After all, he had been in Tianlun City for so long, and in this whirlwind of rumors, he hadn't found a disciple that met his criteria. Continuing to stay wouldn't yield any results. It was better to just move to another immortal continent.
