Chapter 718: Conquering This Land!
“What happened to Elder Qi? As for those from the Overlord Sect, just follow the instructions from Lady, but don’t interfere with the enjoyment of Elder Bing Fu and Nephew Nalan.”
Ouyang Yuanfeng glanced at Elder Qi’s face and spoke in a soft voice. The key figures from Sacred Mountain this time were Elder Bing Fu and his associates. Nothing was more important than tending to Elder Bing Fu’s needs. If he wanted to make progress in Sacred Mountain in the future, he would need the favor of the elders.
“City Master, it seems there’s a bit of trouble. The person has been brought back to the palace, but this boy’s identity is quite special. He is a Soul Tamer approved by Yutian Palace.”
Elder Qi seemed helpless. If it had been someone of an ordinary status, he could have arranged everything without needing to meet with the City Master in person.
“Soul Tamer!”
Upon hearing this, many eyes in the grand hall flickered with curiosity. The identity of a Soul Tamer was indeed quite unique and rare. It became clear why Ouyang Mingjie had been so seriously injured. Now everything made sense.
“Soul Tamer, and so what? If you hurt my child, there will be consequences!”
Kuang Guilan spoke with a cold tone. “Even if she’s a Soul Tamer, there’s no excuse for the way she injured my precious son so severely.”
However, she understood what it meant to be tested as a Soul Tamer by Yutian Palace, and it could pose complications. She quickly stood, bowed to Elder Bing Fu, and said, “I respectfully request that Elder Bing Fu takes charge of this matter. How can we explain that Jie, also a disciple of Sacred Mountain, was viciously injured by the child from the Overlord Sect to the extent that he cannot even participate in the Saint Martial Assembly? This is a clear disrespect for Sacred Mountain. I plead with Elder Bing Fu to seek justice for my son, Mingjie.”
“Niece, there’s no need for formalities. Your grandfather and I are both elders of Sacred Mountain, and in fact, your grandfather is my senior brother. Ouyang Mingjie is a disciple of Sacred Mountain, and it’s truly excessive for him to be so severely harmed. I cannot ignore this situation.”
Elder Bing Fu’s eyes briefly flickered before he continued, “The boy’s identity as a Soul Tamer approved by Yutian Palace is indeed problematic. However, it doesn’t mean we have no solutions. Sacred Mountain also has Soul Tamers who have passed Yutian Palace’s test. We can have one of them intervene, and Yutian Palace won’t be able to object.”
“Thank you, Elder Bing Fu.”
Kuang Guilan’s face brightened with joy. She had underestimated the boy, seeing his single identity as a Soul Tamer approved by Yutian Palace as inconsequential. But now, with Elder Bing Fu’s plan to avoid trouble, everything seemed foolproof.
Ouyang Yuanfeng’s eyes trembled at the sight of his son’s injury. He was deeply displeased but felt that canceling the boy’s qualification for the Saint Martial Assembly and issuing a wanted notice might be too much. It would also make the City Master’s Mansion seem petty and tyrannical.
Ouyang Yuanfeng knew his son’s usual behavior and mannerisms well. Therefore, this incident wasn’t his own doing; it was more the work of his wife, Kuang Guilan.
Within the Ouyang family, due to Kuang Guilan’s influence and status in Sacred Mountain, Ouyang Yuanfeng owed everything to his wife’s family. Additionally, he felt sympathy for his son, so he silently supported her actions.
At this moment, with Elder Bing Fu’s words, even though the boy was a Soul Tamer tested by Yutian Palace, there was no room for error. When the time came, Sacred Mountain would send one of its Soul Tamers to punish him. Yutian Palace would be unable to protest, as it was their own people taking action, making it perfectly justifiable.
The Central Region city was also under Sacred Mountain’s jurisdiction. Yutian Palace would likely be hesitant to provoke Sacred Mountain.
“Elder Qi, please make the necessary arrangements. We can discuss this later.”
Ouyang Yuanfeng nodded and waved to Elder Qi. With Elder Bing Fu present, he felt assured that everything would be fine.
Looking at Elder Bing Fu, Ouyang Yuanfeng, Kuang Guilan, and others in the hall, Elder Qi lifted his gaze and said, “There’s another matter to inform the City Master about.”
“Elder Qi, please speak,” Ouyang Yuanfeng responded.
Elder Qi spoke, “That Yi Su is actually a third-grade preliminary Soul Tamer as tested by Yutian Palace.”
“What difference does it make if he’s only a Beginner Soul Tamer? There are plenty of them around!”
Ouyang Jinwei spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes showing a touch of cold pride. Her little brother’s injuries greatly displeased her.
Soul Tamers are rare and highly respected, but as a direct disciple of Sacred Mountain, Ouyang Jinwei had seen many Soul Tamers of the third-grade preliminary level since her childhood.
“Once upon a time, in a faraway land…”
Elder Bing Fu, Wang Quande, and other influential individuals from Sacred Mountain exchanged subtle glances. They had heard of the heavy blow dealt to Ouyang Mingjie by Yi Su from the Overlord Sect. Yi Su, who was around the same age as Ouyang Mingjie, had passed Yutian Palace’s tests and held the title of a third-grade preliminary Soul Tamer. This was enough to demonstrate his exceptional talent. Among the Sacred Mountain disciples, he was undoubtedly one of the top talents.
Elder Qi looked at Ouyang Jinwei, his eyes slightly moving. He continued, “Miss, Yi Su isn’t just a third-grade preliminary Soul Tamer approved by Yutian Palace. He is also a half-step Heavenly Grade soul user. I’ve just received news that the celestial phenomenon in Central Region city was caused by Yi Su during his soul measurement at Yutian Palace. It’s said that the Soul Measuring Yuan Stones couldn’t withstand the quality of his soul and exploded, making it impossible to determine his true soul quality. That’s why Yi Su ended up with a half-step Heavenly Grade soul emblem.”
“What…?”
As Elder Qi finished speaking, the entire hall erupted into gasps and exclamations of disbelief.
The people inside the hall were left speechless, their eyes widened. Chu Changhuan, Wang Quande, Ouyang Feng, Elder Bing Fu, and the others were all visibly shocked. They now understood the gravity of what had just been revealed.
“The heavens and earth were filled with a strange phenomenon, all because of him!”
The man with long light blue hair looked around, seemingly detached from the situation. But eventually, his expression began to shift. His eyes trembled, and a flicker of light appeared within them.
“Has this news been confirmed?”
Elder Bing Fu stood up in amazement; this was too unbelievable.
“When the inspection occurred, it’s said that strong warriors from Tianxuan Sect, the Divine Sword School, and Qingyun Sect were all present, witnessing it firsthand!” Elder Qi said. He had just received this information upon returning to the City Master’s residence.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, without warning, the entire hall trembled, and an energy blockage overwhelmed everyone’s senses.
“There were many powerful individuals who arrived!”
Elder Bing Fu quickly rose to his feet, his eyes filled with deep emotion, as if he were contemplating something much larger.
“If Yi Su lost even a single strand of hair, I would conquer this land today!”
Almost at the same time, an aged voice, as loud as thunder, rang out, shaking the entire hall and causing the palace to tremble violently.
The thunderous sound, like a violent storm, reverberated throughout the Central Region City.
Inside the grand hall, everyone’s faces turned pale. With the presence of the elder from Sacred Mountain, someone dared to act so arrogantly. This person was no fool but a formidable enemy. Judging by the overwhelming aura, it could only be the latter.
