Chapter 39 - 38 Verbal Duel

39: Chapter 38: Verbal Duel 39 -38: Verbal Duel “A mere Grotto Heaven dares to proclaim that it will annihilate our Emperor Immortal Sect?” Ye Xuan’s statement shocked everyone, casting doubt among those hidden in the shadows. “Could it be that the Supreme Elder of the Emperor Immortal Sect is about to appear?!” “To kill Yuan Zankong with a slap, in the entire Emperor Immortal Sect, only their Sect Master and the three Supreme Elders could do it. But, it is said that the Sect Master and two of the Supreme Elders are not in the sect, only one, Leng Rufeng, remains, and he had just been rumored to be dead a few days ago. The one who made a move could very likely be the ancient ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect.” “If the ancient ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect shows up, today’s crisis might just be temporarily averted.” “The people from Luotian Sacred Land came with the determination to annihilate the Emperor Immortal Sect. Even if the ancient ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect appears, how would that matter? The people from Luotian Sacred Land are stronger!” “……” The hidden figures were all in a fervent discussion at that moment. They did not know that those words had merely come from Ye Xuan’s mouth. In fact, even the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect were taken aback and, believing that their own ancient ancestor had appeared, were joyously surprised. However, when they saw Ye Xuan appear at the mountain gate, their faces looked as if they were constipated, and they completely deflated. “Why is it this guy!? I thought it was the ancient ancestor,” one disciple nearly went crazy. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Xuan leapt directly to the foremost front of the mountain gate, even Qiu Wenhan, Wu Jingshan, Lu Chengde, Jiang Jing, and the Fifth Elders all made way for him. They were very clear that, at the moment, the real backbone of the Emperor Immortal Sect was Ye Xuan. Luotian Sacred Land had merely sent Yuan Zankong, and that in itself was giving them a headache as big as a bucket. If it weren’t for Ye Xuan utilizing the power of the Ancestor Temple, a single Yuan Zankong might have turned the Emperor Immortal Sect into a laughingstock. Now that Ye Xuan had arrived, they naturally felt much relieved. “Didn’t I tell you not to come?” Zhou Youwei descended from the sky dome above, frowning as she looked at Ye Xuan. She did not know that the one who had made the move just then was Ye Xuan. “They are bullying my wife, why wouldn’t I come?” Ye Xuan glared at Zhou Youwei, said irritably. Zhou Youwei felt a slight warmth in her heart, but on the surface she coldly snorted, “Give me a little more time, I could have defeated that Yuan Zankong.” She was confident. The “Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture” coupled with the Fiery Sun Body and her hidden Mystic Ice Body, could definitely defeat Yuan Zankong! “Killing him was only because his mouth was too foul, not because you couldn’t beat him,” Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. “Was it you who had the ancient ancestor make a move just now?” Zhou Youwei was somewhat surprised. Ye Xuan did not deny, casually responded, “Suppose so.” “The one speaking just now was you?” Just at that moment, the two Elders from Luotian Sacred Land focused on Ye Xuan, their eyes filled with slight astonishment. That cold shout just now had given both a chilly sweat, they even thought that the ancient ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect had descended, ready to retreat; unexpectedly, it turned out to be a brash young man?! This left both somewhat unresponsive. “Indeed, it was I,” Ye Xuan candidly said. Ye Xuan’s admission immediately left the observing powerhouses speechless. “Oh my, I thought it was the ancient ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect, turns out it was just this youngster? That means the one who moved just now must have been the ancient ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect, but obviously due to the proscriptions of the dao, this ancient ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect dared not openly act.” “I knew it, the Emperor Immortal Sect couldn’t possibly withstand the march of Luotian Sacred Land.” Many people emitted such talk. High in the sky dome, the two Elders from Luotian Sacred Land shone like the Divine Sun, unleashing immense divine might. They too were amused for a moment as they cast their gaze deep into the Emperor Immortal Sect and muttered to themselves secretly: “It seems the ancient ancestors of Emperor Immortal Sect indeed cannot take action openly and aboveboard. Having just killed Yuan Zankong must have been an attempt to intimidate us, and then send this greenhorn to drive us away,” Thinking this, both of them snorted coldly, withdrawing their gazes and fixing them on Zhou Youwei as they said coldly, “Saint Heir Zhao Yulong died because of you. We from Luotian Sacred Land are here to seek justice. Now that the Great Protector has also died because of you, if your sect doesn’t provide a satisfactory explanation, I fear today will not end well!” The sudden softening of Luotian Sacred Land’s two Elders made Jiang Jing and the others feel somewhat incredulous. The stance Luotian Sacred Land took at the beginning was to annihilate Emperor Immortal Sect, so why did they start speaking reasonably after the death of a Great Protector? Could it be that the death of Yuan Zankong had indeed intimidated them? Jiang Jing and the rest furrowed their brows, sensing that the situation was not so straightforward. “Not end well? Then tell me, what kind of resolution do you want?” Ye Xuan interjected before Zhou Youwei could speak, taking over the words of the Elder from Luotian Sacred Land. “Who is this brash young fool? It’s not your place to speak!” One of the Elders from Luotian Sacred Land snorted coldly. In an instant, Divine Thunder roared, and Lei Jiao heads peered from the dark clouds, seemingly trying to intimidate Ye Xuan. Jiang Jing gritted her teeth, looking towards Ye Xuan, and then stated firmly, “What Ye Xuan says is the stance of our Emperor Immortal Sect!” “Ye Xuan?” The two Elders from Luotian Sacred Land were taken aback, then sneered, “Madam Zhou truly knows how to bluff people. Hasn’t your Emperor Immortal Sect always disregarded this famously foolish son-in-law as a nobody? Since when has the word of a fool represented the Emperor Immortal Sect?” “What?! Ye Xuan represents Emperor Immortal Sect?!” At this, even many disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect were shocked. “What merits does Ye Xuan have? Just because he killed Zhao Wenhai, how does he have such a status? I recall that the Sect Master’s wife was quite annoyed by him, wasn’t she?” “A fool regains his senses for merely half a month and now represents Emperor Immortal Sect, what in the world is going on?” These disciples, unaware that Ye Xuan had forced the people of Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect to kneel and killed the Elder Zhao among others, thus expressed such doubts. However, the upper echelon of Emperor Immortal Sect chose to trust Ye Xuan. “Ye Xuan represents Emperor Immortal Sect!” Jiang Jing declared firmly. Upon hearing this, the two Elders of Luotian Sacred Land looked at each other, and one of them said, “Seeing as that’s the case, the matter is simple. The loss of our Saint Heir and Great Protector cannot be in vain. Your Emperor Immortal Sect must make appropriate compensation.” “Compensation? What kind of compensation?” Jiang Jing’s expression soured. The Elder spoke again, “I have observed the swordsmanship of your Holy Daughter and glimpsed traces of the Great Emperor Immortal Skill. If I’m not mistaken, it should be your renowned ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture.’ Just hand over this Immortal Technique and have Zhou Youwei marry into our Luotian Sacred Land, then this matter can be settled.” “What?!” The faces of those from Emperor Immortal Sect turned utterly grim. Clearly, Luotian Sacred Land had premeditated this! They were targeting the Great Emperor Immortal Skill and Zhou Youwei from the beginning! “Demanding the Great Emperor Immortal Skill just like that, who do you think you are?” Ye Xuan said slowly and deliberately. The Elder didn’t get angry but smiled instead, “Young man, don’t speak out of turn. We from Luotian Sacred Land are considering the survival of your sect. If your sect is unwilling to give up the ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture,’ then whether Emperor Immortal Sect continues to exist after today is another story.” “For our Emperor Immortal Sect? What a noble claim,” Ye Xuan laughed, “Since it’s for our sect’s benefit, I would trouble these two old fellows to come down personally, so I can tie them up and ask for something from Luotian Sacred Land.” Clearly eyeing the ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture’ but claiming it’s for the benefit of Emperor Immortal Sect. Such shameless words could probably only be spoken by Luotian Sacred Land’s people, no wonder they come from the same place as Zhao Yulong, truly birds of a feather! “I am discussing this in good faith with your sect, don’t be ungrateful!” The Elder suddenly snorted coldly, a terrifying aura bursting forth, and the sky was filled with rolling thunder. The expanse of ten thousand li was covered by Divine Thunder! It seemed that in the next moment, Emperor Immortal Sect would be submerged by the Divine Thunder. Confronted with the threat from the Elder of Luotian Sacred Land, Ye Xuan was not in the least bit afraid but cheerfully said, “Since we are discussing this in good faith, then I’d also like to make a request: have all your females come to our Emperor Immortal Sect.” “Are you seeking death?!” At this moment, the two Elders from Luotian Sacred Land were enraged by Ye Xuan. “Tsk tsk, is that all the tact you have?” Ye Xuan expressed his disappointment. “Brother Mo, stop wasting words with this fool, let’s just break through the Sect Protection Array of Emperor Immortal Sect and see what else he can say!” The other, less talkative Elder, said fiercely.
