C68 The Gathering of the 12 Lower Peaks

After Ye Heng finished listening to Gongsun Lan's story, he picked up a Godspeed Boat and left.

However, before Ye Heng left, Gongsun Lan gave him another thing.

"This is a defensive tool that I recently developed. It's called the Mist Shield, and it can withstand an Essence Gate Stage warrior's attack. Little Brother Ye. . . Alright. " Gongsun Lan handed a palm-sized wooden shield to Ye Heng and said seriously.

Ye Heng really did not have the energy to complain about the name of the shield. But the effect sounded very powerful.

It was actually able to withstand an Essence Gate Stage warrior's attack. He really couldn't judge a shield by its appearance.

"Understood, Sister Lan. I will definitely hand this. . . Mist Shield over to Mr Qiao personally. " Ye Heng nodded and accepted the Mist Shield.

Time flew and a day passed.

The next morning, Qiao Qingen arrived at Ye Heng's courtyard on time.

"Little Junior Brother, are you awake?" Qiao Qingen walked to the center of the courtyard and shouted at the top of his voice. Even if someone was sleeping, he would wake them up.

However, Ye Heng naturally didn't waste his time on sleeping. Instead, he spent the night cultivating.

For a martial artist, the need for sleep was already negligible. Even if those powerful martial artists did not sleep for ten years, they would not have any problems at all.

Of course, for those lower Martial realm disciples, a certain amount of sleep could guarantee the efficiency of training the next day.

There were also people who slept at night because of the habit of being raised for a long time.

However, Ye Heng did not have any extra time to waste on sleeping.

Before he could condense his elemental energy, he forced himself to only sleep for four hours a day.

Now that he had the amplification and warmth of Yuan energy, his need for sleep was even rarer.

In Ye Heng's mind, there were too many things that needed him to complete. Completing those things required strength, so he could not waste a breath of time.

"Creak. "

The door to the room was pushed open, and Ye Heng walked out.

The sleepless night did not bring him two dark circles or dispirited Qi. Instead, his spirit seemed to be unusually shaken, as if there was a force that he could not use surging out from his body.

"Eh, Little Junior Brother, to tell senior brother the truth, have you recently broken through again?" Seeing that Ye Heng's breath was long and continuous, Compared to the time when he was in the Gloomy Jungle, it was much deeper.

"Mr Qiao's eyes are really sharp. I have indeed just broken through recently. " Only now did Ye Heng remember that Qiao Qingen wasn't present when he defeated the Little King, Zhang Heng.

If Qiao Qingen was present at that time, he would certainly have noticed the improvement of Ye Heng's strength.

"Why do I feel like Little Junior Brother's advancement in the Martial realm is as simple as drinking water?" Qiao Qingen said with a smile, with a hint of envy.

Ignoring Qiao Qingen's resentful gaze, Ye Heng took out the Mist Shield that Gongsun Lan gave him yesterday from his storage bag and handed it directly to Qiao Qingen.

"Mr Qiao, this is what Sister Lan asked me to give you. "

"What? Sister Lan? Wait. . . It can't be Gongsun Lan, right?" Qiao Qingen was stunned for a moment before he suddenly remembered something and asked uncertainly.

Ye Heng did not answer. He just nodded his head vigorously.

"Sigh. . . " Qiao Qingen let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "Gongsun Lan is a good woman. I am not good enough for her. "

Ye Heng did not agree with this. He did not even think about it. He quickly replied, "Mr Qiao, I think it should be Sister Lan who decides whether she is good enough or not. If you are guessing here by yourself, wouldn't Sister Lan look a little pitiful?"

Ye Heng still had a good impression of Gongsun Lan, who had a strong heroic spirit and a feminine soft spot. Therefore, he couldn't help but want to defend her.

When Qiao Qingen heard this, he was silent for a few breaths, then nodded and said, "It is indeed as Little Junior Brother said, I am slow-witted. But. . . "

Qiao Qingen pushed the Mist Shield back to Ye Heng. He said softly," Little Junior Brother, you should take this shield. I think since Lan asked you to give it to me, then the defense of this shield must be very high. I am already a Ninth Layer of Essence Vortex. There are very few people below Yuan Gate who can hurt me. Therefore, this shield is for you. "

"But Mr Qiao, this Mist Shield can withstand an attack from an Essence Gate Stage warrior," replied Ye Heng.

"If Lan says so, then it must be possible. Then you should keep it well. Don't worry, your senior brother has a lot of trump cards that can save his life. Otherwise, just take this shield as a token of my gratitude. "

After saying that, Qiao Qingen didn't care whether Ye Heng was willing or not. He grabbed the Mist Shield and stuffed it into Ye Heng's arms.

Just as Ye Heng wanted to take it out from his arms, Qiao Qingen stopped him immediately.

"Little Junior Brother, if you insist on not taking the Mist Shield, then you won't recognize me as Eldest Senior Brother. " Qiao Qingen said unhurriedly, his face showing that he was sure to defeat Ye Heng.

With Qiao Qingen's understanding of Ye Heng, he would never refuse if he were to talk about friendship.

Little Junior Brother valued friendship very much. It could be seen from the things that happened in Gloomy Jungle.

Therefore, Qiao Qingen hoped that Ye Heng could survive this dangerous mission.

"Alright. Since you have already said so, I will accept it. " Although Ye Heng still wanted to refuse, he couldn't find a reason to do so.

Seeing that Ye Heng did not take out the Mist Shield anymore, Qiao Qingen nodded with satisfaction. Nodding his head, he waved his sleeve and a light flashed. The new Divine Line Boat appeared in the air.

"Alright, Little Junior Brother, let's hurry up and leave. "

After calling Ye Heng, Qiao Qingen took the lead and jumped onto the Divine Line Boat.

After hearing Qiao Qingen's words, Ye Heng stomped on the ground and jumped onto the Godspeed Boat as well. For a moment, he forgot to put the Mist Shield back into his storage bag.

It was this unconscious action that saved Ye Heng's life in the face of great danger.

An hour later, Ye Heng and Qiao Qingen arrived at the gathering place.

At this moment, many people had gathered there.

There were disciples in embroidered robes with a solemn expression, disciples in white robes who looked like scholars, and female disciples with enchanting and charming bodies.

All kinds of things, at first glance, formed a unique landscape.

Ye Heng roughly estimated that there were about twenty people.

Hmm, since there were two people at each mountain peak, there should be twenty-four people.

But now, there were only twenty-two people gathered here.

Ye Heng even specially counted once, but it was still the same number. Of course, he counted himself and Qiao Qingen in as well.

Just as Ye Heng was about to open his mouth and ask Qiao Qingen what was going on, a huge eagle with its wings spread out over 30 meters flew over from afar.

On the back of the huge eagle stood two unruly and unruly disciples who looked down on all living beings.

In just two breaths' time, the huge eagle flapped its wings and flew in front of everyone.

"Hua!"

More than twenty people, who had just gathered together, instantly dispersed, giving the giant eagle a huge space.

"Hu. . . Hu. . . "

The wind howled, and the giant eagle flapped its wings repeatedly. Finally, it landed firmly in the space that everyone had created.

"Pata. "

That was the sound of shoes stepping on the ground.

The two disciples on the giant eagle jumped down from the back of the eagle at the same time. Like kings, they looked down at the people around them.

"I thought the people from Fa Feng wouldn't come. " A woman in red with a seductive figure, bright eyes, white teeth, and a charming temperament chuckled and said sarcastically.

When Ye Heng saw this woman, a sense of familiarity flashed through his heart as he searched his memories.

Ye Heng suddenly remembered that this charming temperament was exactly the same as Yu Zhuxian, who liked to call him little brother.

It seemed like this woman in red was a disciple of the Jade Maiden Peak.

As for the two people who had just jumped off the back of the giant eagle, they were disciples of Fa Feng.

"How can Fa Feng not come for such a big event? After all, we are the top of the Twelve Lower Peaks. " The taller man among the two Fa Feng disciples spoke in a deep voice.

His tone was filled with pride, and his face was filled with a sense of propriety.

"What? Could it be that your Jade Maiden Peak wants to challenge the authority of Fa Feng?"

In the next moment, the man turned his gaze, and his gaze swept toward the woman in red like a sharp sword.

The woman in red felt as if countless sharp swords were hanging above her head and could pierce her into sieves at any time.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Wang, you must be joking. I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. " The woman in red forced a smile on her stiff face and said unnaturally.

"Hmph, is that so?" The man called Senior Brother Wang by the woman in red snorted and didn't continue pursuing her. Instead, he glanced at the crowd and said arrogantly, "If there is anyone who is dissatisfied with Fa Feng being the captain of this important mission, please step forward now. "

As soon as Senior Brother Wang finished his words, a burly man walked out from the crowd and cupped his hands towards him from afar. His voice was like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone's ears.

"I, Liu Gaang of Rock Peak, think that I am pretty strong. I would like to be the leader of the team. Can I ask Senior Brother Wang's permission?"

Although Liu Gaang said it with a polite tone, his eyes were filled with disdain.

Fa Feng? They are just a bunch of self-righteous guys. Let me teach you guys a lesson.

I merely got lucky and became the Prime Peak. Do you really think that your Peak's strength is the number one amongst the 12 Lower Peaks?

Are you kidding me? Our Rock Peak is the strongest!
