Chapter 339: What Happened to Your Face?
Quan Ye’s fists clenched so tight that his knuckles cracked.

His gaze swept around him.

Every face he saw was hostile.

Yu Zhao had already said before that Quan Ye knew how to read the situation. Maybe it was some kind of beast instinct, but he could sharply sense the danger that others brought him.

So he chose once again to ignore everyone else and turned to look at Yu Zhao. “Yu Zhao, I will give you one more chance, you…”

This time, Yu Zhao did not bother wasting words with him. Her palm swung out.

With a crisp smack, Quan Ye’s body flew backward.

“Noisy.”

“Good!”

Yao Wu Jishouted loudly and even led the others in clapping.

Mu Ye and Xiu Luo followed right after.

Zhang Jun shouted, “Junior Sister Yu, do not worry. If Quan Ye dares to complain, we will testify that he started harassing you first!”

“Yes, I can testify too,” Ji Han Zhou said.

“Then I will thank you in advance,” Yu Zhao said with a small smile.

“No problem, no problem. Come on, do not let him ruin the mood.”

“Yeah, keep going, keep going.”

They stayed until the next morning. Only after they sat on the mountaintop and finished watching the beautiful sunrise did everyone leave Mist Peak.

But just as they came down the mountain, they saw a disciple running over in a hurry.

“First Senior Sister, so you are here!”

“What happened?”

Seeing how anxious the disciple looked, Zhou Jin Yue’s face turned serious.

“Two Divine Transformation Great Demons have come to visit. The Sect Master is receiving them in the main hall. He sent us to find you and ask you to come over right away.”

Zhou Jin Yue said, “All right, I will go now.”

Divine Transformation Great Demons?

Yu Zhao’s heart moved, and she immediately said, “Senior Sister Zhou, I will go with you.”

Without even thinking about it, Zhou Jin Yue nodded and agreed. After saying a few words to Yao Wu Jiand the others, the two of them headed straight toward Main Peak.

The others understood and were about to return, when Xiu Luo suddenly looked at Zhang Jun, who was still standing in place, and asked, “Senior Sister Zhou and Senior Sister Yu have both gone. Why are you not going?”

Zhang Jun replied calmly, “They are going to handle serious business. I would not be able to help even if I went. When they need me, they will come find me.”

Zhang Jun had a very clear understanding of his role.

Even though he was the second Senior Brother of Main Peak, his personality was not as steady as Senior Sister’s. When something happened, he only knew how to open his mouth and ask Master and Senior Sister for help, so he could never get a word in during major events.

He was happy with things that way.

Being Senior Brother was way too tiring. Being Junior Brother was much more relaxed.

Xiu Luo thought about it and felt he made a lot of sense. She could not help but look at Zhang Jun with new respect. “You really do think things through.”

“Of course.” Zhang Jun smiled proudly, then pushed Xiu Luo forward. “Let’s go, time to head back.”

Everyone laughed.

…

On Main Peak.

Sect Master Ji Yuan’s brows were furrowed so tightly it looked like he could pinch a fly to death between them.

On his right sat a thin man with a sharp mouth and small eyes, with a few uneven whiskers growing on each side of his cheeks. He spoke up and said, “Sect Master Ji Yuan, we must take this person away. Please give us a clear answer.”

His voice was high and sharp, stabbing at everyone’s eardrums.

A flash of displeasure passed through Sect Master Ji Yuan’s eyes.

Just then, the young woman in white with red eyes, who sat on his left, spoke. “She Jun, we came without warning. We should give Sect Master Ji Yuan some time to think. Besides, if we want this matter settled, we still need Master Qing Yan to agree. Calm down.”

She Jun did not know if he listened to the red-eyed young woman’s words or if he was wary of Master Qing Yan. He only snorted and fell quiet.

The red-eyed young woman gave Sect Master Ji Yuan an apologetic smile. “She Jun and I have not dealt with cultivators for many years and have forgotten our manners. I hope Sect Master Ji Yuan will not blame us.”

People did not hit a smiling face.

Besides, this was a Divine Transformation Great Demon whose cultivation level was equal to his own.

Although Sect Master Ji Yuan was unhappy inside, on the surface he still gave her plenty of respect.

Suddenly, the space around them shook violently.

A moment later, Master Qing Yan and Quan Ye appeared in the middle of the main hall.

She Jun and the red-eyed young woman both stood up.

“Sect Master, Quan Ye is here.”

Quan Ye felt a force push him from behind and could not help taking two steps forward, completely exposing himself to everyone’s view.

He still did not know why his Master had suddenly grabbed him and brought him here, but when he saw the man and woman standing on either side, he suddenly understood. Wild joy exploded in his eyes.

These two were both famous Great Demons of the Demon Race.

On the right was She Jun, the chieftain of the Heaven-Devouring Rat clan. On the left was Qing Kui, the chieftain of the Moonshadow Rabbit clan.

And they had once been his followers.

His chance had finally come!

When She Jun saw Quan Ye’s face, he was furious. “What happened to your face? Who laid a hand on you?”

Yu Zhao’s slap had not been light. Even though Quan Ye’s skin was thick, there was still a clear red mark on his face.

Quan Ye did not want him to notice the injury on his face. He turned his head to the side and mumbled, “It is nothing.”

In front of his future subordinates, he could not admit that he had just been slapped in the face. What would happen to his pride then?

Sect Master Ji Yuan knew very well what had happened, but he changed the subject and asked Master Qing Yan to sit down. After Master Qing Yan sat, Sect Master Ji Yuan explained why She Jun and Qing Kui had come.

“They say Quan Ye carries the Azure Dragon Bloodline. They cannot bear to see him wandering outside, and want to take him back to the Demon Race to train him carefully. What do you think?”

In his heart, Sect Master Ji Yuan did not want to let him go.

No matter how useless Quan Ye was, he was still a disciple of Five Elements Dao Sect. If he was tied to the Demon Race, he would never again be able to truly join the Cultivation World as a cultivator.

But She Jun and Qing Kui did not only represent their own clans. They represented the entire Demon Race.

If Five Elements Dao Sect refused to hand him over, the balance that humans and demons had kept for many years would be broken, and conflict would rise again.

That was something Sect Master Ji Yuan did not want to see either.

He was torn, so he had called Master Qing Yan over.

Master Qing Yan’s reaction was calm. Before She Jun could open his mouth, Master Qing Yan first asked Quan Ye, “Are you willing to go with them?”

“Disciple…”

Quan Ye had almost agreed right away.

But when the words reached his lips, he hesitated.

He actually was unwilling to give up his identity as a disciple of Five Elements Dao Sect and follow two Great Demons to a completely unfamiliar place, living with a group of bloodthirsty demonic beasts.

But when he thought about what had happened yesterday, heat surged up inside him.

“I am willing.”

Sect Master Ji Yuan could not help asking, “Have you thought it through? If you leave with them, it will be hard for you to return to Five Elements Dao Sect in the future.”

In the past few days, the news that Quan Ye carried Demon Race blood in his body had spread wildly through the Cultivation World. She Jun and Qing Kui had come to ask for him after hearing those rumors.

But in the end, there was no solid proof. As long as Five Elements Dao Sect did not admit it, the outside world had no way to prove Quan Ye’s true identity, and he could still quietly stay on Lone Moon Peak.

If he left with the two Great Demons, it would be the same as announcing his background to the whole world. From then on, he and the Demon Race would be tightly bound together, and no one would recognize his identity as a cultivator anymore.

She Jun said unhappily, “Quan Ye is a child of the Demon Race. The Demon Race is the most suitable place for him. Staying in Five Elements Dao Sect will only waste his talent!”

Qing Kui added, “That is right. The Demon Race will do everything we can to train Quan Ye. With his bloodline, he might even become the Beast King in the future, commander of the myriad demons!”

Beast King.

Commander of the myriad demons.

Quan Ye was completely swept away by the bright future they painted for him.

He spoke again, more firmly this time. “Sect Master, thank you for your kindness, but Five Elements Dao Sect is not the right place for me. I want to go to the place where I belong.”
