The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1461: Chapter 1489: Changing the Plan

Therefore, Ye Feng faced such a choice. If Ye Feng didn’t escape and swore the oath, he couldn’t harbor disloyalty towards Qingyue Sword Sect, whereas Ye Feng’s original goal was to eliminate Qingyue. In this case, Ye Feng might die.

If Ye Feng chose to escape, then all the actions he had taken during this period would be wasted.

Moreover, Qingyue would become wary of him and might even be infuriated, venting its wrath on Dragon Country. Currently, Qingyue Sword Sect is not something Dragon Country can resist, so Ye Feng was caught in a dilemma.

”Ye Feng, pledge the oath!” Deacon Liu furrowed his brows: ”I’ll give you half a minute to think about it. If you don’t swear, you’ll die!”

Hall Master Heng Dao was also anxious at this moment. If Ye Feng died, his reward would be gone. Not only that, but he might also face punishment from the Qingyue Sword Sect. Hall Master Heng Dao hurriedly said, ”Ye Feng, what are you doing? Hurry up and swear the oath, or you’ll die. Do you want to anger Deacon Liu?”

But just then, Ye Feng smiled and loudly began to swear: ”I, Ye Feng, swear! Today I join Qingyue Sword Sect, and from now on, I will never betray Qingyue Sword Sect or do anything detrimental to it!”

Ye Feng spoke resolutely, declaring his vow straightforwardly. Everyone was surprised; Ye Feng, who was hesitating just a moment ago, now spoke so decisively. At this moment, the Qingyue Sword Stele showed no abnormality, which meant Ye Feng genuinely chose to join Qingyue Sword Sect. Hall Master Heng Dao breathed a sigh of relief upon witnessing this.

A smile appeared on Deacon Liu’s face as well: ”Ye Feng, congratulations! You are now a member of our Qingyue Sword Sect!”

At the final critical moment, Ye Feng realized his true purpose for coming to Yanyue.

Because Qingyue posed a potential and significant threat to Dragon Country, Ye Feng’s journey wasn’t just for Yanyue but also to help eliminate the potential threat to Dragon Country. Ye Feng’s initial goal was to destroy Qingyue Sword Sect. With Qingyue Sword Sect gone, the threat to Dragon Country would naturally vanish. But now, Ye Feng reconsidered his approach.

Eliminating the threat posed by Qingyue Sword Sect doesn’t necessarily require destroying it completely. It doesn’t have to be done so extremely. Ye Feng can choose to gain control over Qingyue Sword Sect. Ye Feng can become the Sect Master of Qingyue Sword Sect. Once Ye Feng becomes the Sect Master, the entire Qingyue Sword Sect will be under his control, ensuring it cannot pose a threat to Dragon Country.

In this way, Ye Feng wouldn’t be considered as betraying Qingyue Sword Sect and can simultaneously neutralize the crisis—a win-win situation.

The difference between sects and families is that the sect’s Sect Master can be of any surname and can be any powerful individual. Regardless of your birth or background, as long as you have enough strength, you can become the Sect Master.

He differs from a family, where purity of bloodline is maintained, and outsiders will never replace the family.

This is the distinction between sects and families, which is why the strength of sects far exceeds that of families, remaining prosperous for a long time.

Deacon Liu laughed heartily: ”Very well, from now on, you all officially become disciples of Qingyue Sword Sect. I hope you will work hard and strive to make greater contributions to the sect. Here are your identity tokens and your rewards for joining the sect. As for your residence, Qingyue Sword Sect has a total of nine mountain peaks, with the outermost two being Outer Mountains.

You can go to the mountain and build your own house. Of course, you can also choose a cave dwelling.

The rules for residing in a cave dwelling are simple. Every Monday, you have the opportunity to challenge the cave owner. If you defeat the owner, you can replace them and become the new master of the cave!”

After saying this, Deacon Liu distributed the identity tokens to everyone, along with a storage pouch.

When Ye Feng opened the storage pouch, he found it contained a hundred mid-grade spirit stones and ten high-grade spirit stones, as well as a crimson crystal stone that emitted a powerful yang energy.

Ye Feng took out the crimson crystal stone and looked at Deacon Liu: ”Deacon Liu, may I ask what this is?”

Deacon Liu replied: ”This is a Skyfire Divine Stone mined from the Skyfire Divine Trace. Absorbing its energy can help temper the body and improve your physique; there are many benefits. Of course, this is just the lowest-grade Skyfire Divine Stone, given as a gift for joining Qingyue Sword Sect. If you wish to receive more in the future,

complete more tasks for Qingyue Sword Sect. This way, you will have opportunities to obtain better Skyfire Divine Stones!”

Upon hearing Deacon Liu’s words, Ye Feng nodded. The Skyfire Divine Trace is actually a secret realm on Earth; it’s an S-class secret realm with immense exploration value.

It seems impossible to fully explore within a few years, and many resources in the realm are renewable, so there’s no need to worry about exhausting them...

”Alright, that’s all for today. I’m leaving now. You should carefully read the Qingyue Sword Sect disciple handbook yourselves. Remember where you can go and where you cannot. If you violate the sect’s rules, no one can save you!” After saying this, Deacon Liu left, and Ye Feng and the others also dispersed.

Heng Dao smiled at Ye Feng: ”Ye Feng, congratulations on joining the Qingyue Sword Sect! I have many things outside Qingyue that need attending, so I won’t stay longer. Work hard and strive to join Qingyue’s higher ranks. Don’t forget to recommend me when you do!” Ye Feng nodded before parting ways with Hall Master Heng Dao.

Ye Feng stood in place, not going elsewhere but looking at the Qingyue Sword Stele. Ye Feng noticed that after they dispersed, many disciples from Qingyue Sword Sect gathered here, sitting beneath the Qingyue Sword Stele to cultivate.

Even before Ye Feng arrived at the vicinity of the Qingyue Sword Stele, he had seen many Qingyue Sword Sect disciples cultivating at the outer ring of the Martial Arts Square. After Ye Feng and the others finished their oath, those disciples gathered again.
