Chapter 3989: Testing the Divine Sword

The Wanqi clan had no choice but to oppose and offend the Pure Yang Sect openly in order to preserve the life of their clan’s intermediate Emperor of Gods. Today’s incident would definitely cause a rift between the Pure Yang Sect and the Wanqi clan, but they were not afraid. Although the Wanqi clan was slightly weaker than the Pure Yang Sect, the Wanqi clan was still one of the top five forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

The Wanqi clan was also certain that it was impossible for the Pure Yang Sect to snatch the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul back once it returned to Wanqi Jue’s hands. They had already had a plan to mitigate the situation. They would issue a public apology to the Pure Yang Sect and compensate them with 200 king-grade Limit Divine Pills to show their sincerity. At that time, the Pure Yang Sect would be forced to accept it since there was nothing to be done. Both forces would not benefit from going to war, after all. To them, the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul and preserving Wanqi Jue’s life were worth much more than a public apology and 200 king-grade Limit Divine Pills. They were also confident in their choice because they were certain the Pure Yang Sect would choose to settle this matter peacefully.

‘Lend it for a few days?’

Wanqi Wu Ming and Wanqi Jue did not care about Zhen Yun Feng’s choice of words at this moment. Unless the Pure Yang Sect intended on waging war on the Wanqi clan, which the Wanqi clan was certain they would not, it would be impossible for the Pure Yang Sect to regain the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul.

“Father…” Zhen Ping Fan felt reluctant despite knowing it was necessary. When he saw his father’s resolute gaze, he had no choice but to bring out the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul. Then, he tossed it over as he gritted his teeth.

Wanqi Jue used his Divine Energy to bring the prominent divine artifact back into his hand. He looked at the seven-foot-long obsessively as though he had just been reunited with his lover.

“Elder Zhen Yun Feng, I apologize for offending you,” Wanqi Wu Ming said with a smile before he led the others from the Wanqi clan away.

The expressions of the members of the Pure Yang Sect, including Lan Xi Lin, were very dark at this moment. They felt insulted and humiliated.

After Zhen Ping Fan brought his flying ship out again, the members of the Pure Yang Sect boarded the ship silently.

Zhen Ping Fan said to his father through Voice Transmission, “Father, Wanqi Wu Ming and Wanqi Jue have gone too far!”

Zhen Ping Fan was obviously unresigned.

The others wanted to console Zhen Yun Feng as well, but knowing that Zhen Yun Feng was in a bad mood, no one dared to say anything.

However, as Zhen Yun Feng’s son, Zhen Ping Fan, who had lost his prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul, did not worry about his father’s mood and complained directly to his father.

Duan Ling Tian, who was sitting in a corner, wore an unsightly expression on his face as well. Although the loss of the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul did not affect him, he was disgusted by how shameless the Wanqi class had acted. The Wanqi clan had used the younger generation from the Pure Yang Sect to threaten Zhen Yun Feng and the other elders from the Pure Yang Sect. At the same time, he felt bad as well because he felt that he was the cause of the entire ordeal. His eyes glinted coldly as he thought to himself, ‘Wanqi clan…’

Zhen Yun Feng replied to Zhen Ping Fan, “Do we have a choice? There’s nothing we could do earlier. Perhaps, the Heavenly Tribulations won’t be able to threaten our lives even if we’re injured, but what about the younger generation? The Wanqi clan didn’t bring the younger generation along because they knew the younger generation would be a burden to them. I hate to admit it, but they were smart.”

“Father…” Zhen Ping Fan was displeased upon hearing his father saying the Wanqi clan was smart.

Before Zhen Ping Fan could complain again, Zhen Yun Feng’s eyes glinted coldly as he said, “Don’t worry. The Wanqi clan will regret this.”

Zhen Ping Fan did not think much of his father’s words. He said with a bitter smile, “Father, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do to them. They will publicly apologize and compensate us with 200 king-grade Limit Divine Pills. The Limit Divine Pills they offer is double that of the number of Limit Divine Pills Duan Ling Tian used as a stake. With all things considered, our sect can’t act too harshly.”

What the Wanqi clan thought of, Zhen Ping Fan naturally thought of as well. This was the reason why he felt so unwilling.

“Perhaps, if it were in the past, that would be how things would end,” Zhen Yun Feng said coldly, “However, things are different now.”

Zhen Ping Fan looked at his father in confusion. “What do you mean by things are different now, father?”

Zhen Yun Feng glanced at his son and said, “The Wanqi clan has considered the things you said, and they’re certain our sect won’t confront them about this matter. Although our sect is stronger than their clan, both sides will suffer greatly if we go to war. However, what if our sect has a powerhouse who’s stronger than the Wanqi clan’s strongest powerhouse? Do you think the Wanqi clan will dare to continue being shameless?”

Zhen Yun Feng sneered as he continued to say, “What? Do you think I was trying to save myself from the embarrassment when I told you to lend the weapon to them? I meant what I said.”

Zhen Ping Fan mulled over his father’s words for a moment before his eyes lit up. He asked excitedly, “Father, are you saying Junior Uncle Ye is close to succeeding?”

Zhen Ping Fan was smart, after all. It was not difficult for him to interpret the meaning behind his father’s words.

Ye Chen Feng, the Ascension Elder and the founder of the Hidden Sword faction of the Pure Yang Sect, was the only one in the Pure Yang Sect with such capability and potential. Once he successfully turned his artifact soul into a complete artifact soul, he could kill ordinary advanced Emperors of Gods even if he was an intermediate Emperor of Gods.

The Wanqi clan dared to act shamelessly because their strongest powerhouse was on par with the Pure Yang Sect’s top powerhouse. The general strength of the Pure Yang Sect was already stronger than that of the Wanqi clan, to begin with. it would be completely different once the Pure Yang Sect’s strongest powerhouse surpassed the strongest powerhouse from the Wanqi clan.

Zhen Yun Feng nodded. “You’re quite quick-witted, but you’re not completely right. Before leaving the sect, I received wonderful news from him. He’s not close to obtaining a complete artifact soul; he has already obtained a complete artifact soul for his prominent divine artifact. He’s been spending his time familiarizing himself with his prominent divine sword. Before I left, he told me he’s looking for a way to test the sword’s strength. What a coincidence that an opportunity presented itself so quickly.”

Zhen Ping Fan’s eyes lit up with excitement as soon as he heard these words. He said, “I want to go to the Wanqi clan’s estate with Junior Uncle Ye! I want to see Wanqi Wu Ming and Wanqi Jue’s expressions at that time.”



After the confrontation with the Wanqi clan, the trip home for the entourage from the Pure Yang Sect was safe and uneventful.

Since Zhen Yun Feng did not issue a gag order, news of what happened spread quickly, and everyone condemned the Wanqi clan for their shamelessness and lack of honor.

“The Wanqi clan is really shameless!”

“Damn it! It’s so unfair!”

“I have a friend in Seven Kills Valley. He just confirmed that Elder Zhen Ping Fan’s prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul was won by Duan Ling Tian fair and square from Wanqi Jue.”

“Wanqi Wu Ming and Wanqi Jue are a disgrace. They’re not worthy of their titles as the Golden Seat Elders of the Wanqi clan! I hope the Heavenly Tribulation kills both of them!”

It was unprecedented for everyone in the Pure Yang Sect to be so united.

When Duan Ling Tian wandered around Cloud Peak Island, he could hear many people criticizing the Wanqi clan for being shameless.



On the second day after returning to the Pure Yang Sect from the Seven Kills Valley, Duan Ling Tian received a message from Zhen Ping Fan.

“Duan Ling Tian, are you free?”

“Elder Zhen? What’s the matter?” Duan Ling Tian was curious as to why Zhen Ping Fan had messaged him.

“Junior Uncle Ye wants to know if you’re interested in following us to the Wanqi clan’s estate,” Zhen Ping Fan said.

“Elder Ye? Isn’t he in closed-door cultivation to nurture his artifact soul?” Duan Ling Tian asked, surprised.

“He’s already come out of closed-door cultivation quite a few days ago,” Zhen Ping Fan replied, “He’s been familiarizing himself with his prominent divine sword, and he’s looking for a chance to test the strength of his sword. If you’re free, come with us to the Wanqi clan. You’ll be able to witness how powerful a prominent divine artifact with a complete soul is.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up upon hearing Zhen Ping Fan’s words.

Although Duan Ling Tian did not discuss the matter with Zhen Yun Feng and Zhen Ping Fan during their journey back to the Pure Yang Sect, he could guess the Wanqi clan’s thoughts and the Pure Yang Sect’s subsequent actions. He knew why the Wanqi clan dared to act so shamelessly, and he also knew there was nothing the Pure Yang Sect could do unless they were willing to suffer losses as well. However, after learning that Ye Chen Feng’s prominent divine sword now had a complete artifact soul, the situation was completely different. It seemed like there would be an exciting show to watch in the Wanqi clan’s estate.

‘Elder Ye is widely acknowledged as the strongest powerhouse in the Pure Yang Sect. His strength is going to be much more terrifying now that his prominent divine sword has a complete artifact soul. His strength is likely comparable to an ordinary advanced Emperor of Gods now.’
