As one of the top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, the Wan Qi clan’s estate was naturally located in a good location. The estate was built on the eastern outskirts of a huge city, surrounded by rivers and mountains. The city was also specifically built by the clan to fulfill their needs. Unsurprisingly, the city was named Wanqi City. Most of the businesses in the city were also owned by the Wanqi clan.

Many forces in the city and near the city came to the Wanqi clan to look for rare items. For this reason, Wanqi City grew more and more prosperous.

Wanqi City was quite similar to Linghu City in that they were surrounded by mountains and rivers, just that it was much bigger and more prosperous.

At this moment.

In a remote valley in the Wanqi clan’s estate.

A young man was kneeling in a spacious courtyard.

An old servant sighed and said to the young man, “Young Master Hong, there’s no need for this. The master has said that it wasn’t your fault. Master is now in closed-door cultivation, refining the incomplete artifact soul of his prominent divine artifact. He won’t be out so soon. If he knows you’re kneeling here, he’ll definitely tell you to get up.”

“I lost the bet,” Wanqi Hong said to the old man, “I’ll kneel until great-great-grandfather comes out from his closed-door cultivation. I’ll wait for his punishment.”

The old man sighed and no longer dissuaded Wanqi Hong. He knew Wanqi Hong was determined. He glanced at one of the rooms before he said, “Master should come out of closed-door cultivation in a few days. Since Zhen Ping Fan didn’t claim ownership of the weapon, it won’t take long for him to refine it. If I may say it again. It’s not necessary to do this, Young Master Hong. If you ask me, master will be much happier if you use this time to cultivate so you’ll perform well during the Seven Mansions Feast.”

Wanqi Hong said, “I won’t be able to break through so soon. Moreover, I reached a bottleneck in my cultivation.”

With that, Wanqi Hong kneeled in Wanqi Jue’s courtyard for seven days and seven nights.

…

After seven days and seven nights.

The sound of wind whistling rang out as a spear shot out from an open door.

Following that, an old man stepped out of the room. He glanced at Wanqi Hong before he flew into the air. He raised his hand and grabbed the spear before tendrils of dark energy suddenly appeared, looking like black snakes. The black snakes quickly twined around him, completely covering him like a barrier. After a few moments, the black tendrils of energy disappeared into his body.

“Congratulations, master,” the old servant said.

Wanqi Jue nodded slightly before he looked at Wanqi Hong and asked sternly, “Why are you kneeling here instead of cultivating? I’m looking forward to watching you defeat Duan Ling Tian during the Seven Mansions Feast.”

A hint of disappointment could be heard at the end of Wanqi Jue’s words.

“Great-great-grandfather,” Wanqi Hong said with a bitter expression on his face, “There’s only a decade left before the startof the Seven Mansions Feast. I’m afraid it’ll be impossible for me to defeat Duan Ling Tian during the Seven Mansions Feast.”

Although Duan Ling Tian was only slightly stronger than Wanqi Hong, Wanqi Hong was aware that it was impossible for him to surpass Duan Ling Tian even if Duan Ling Tian did not make any progress in the coming decade.

“Why do you say so? Do you think you’re inferior to him and that it’s impossible to surpass him after losing to him once?” Wanqi Jue said with a scoff, “Return to your cultivation ground and cultivate immediately! The men the clan leader sent out should be returning within three years. With the lord-grade Limit Divine Pills, you can stabilize your cultivation base and defeat him.”

Wanqi Hong’s eyes widened upon hearing these words. Clearly, he was unaware of this matter. If he had the help of lord-grade Limit Divine Pills to stabilize his cultivation base at the realm of an advanced Lord of Gods within ten years, not only would he be on par with Duan Ling Tian, but he could likely defeat Duan Ling Tian as well.

Wanqi Hong’s expression was no longer gloomy like before. He rose to his feet hastily. Before flying back to his cultivation ground, he said respectfully, “I understand, great-great-grandfather.”

Suddenly…

A thunderous voice resounded through the Wanqi clan’s estate.

“Wanqi clan, how dare you act shamelessly!”

Following that, a dazzling white beam of light shot down from the sky and landed on the Wanqi clan’s Guarding Formation.

Boom!

The Wanqi clan’s defensive barrier only deflected part of the force from the white beam of light while the remaining force swept through the clan’s estate.

It was easy for those with high cultivation bases to deflect the aftershock, but those below the realm of a Lord of Gods, who were alone at this time, were instantly killed.

Harrowing cries rang out in the Wanqi clan’s estate in just an instance as rivers of blood formed.

Wanqi Jue’s expression changed drastically. “This voice… Ye Chen Feng?! What’s he doing? Is he trying to provoke our clan or is he putting on a show to save the Pure Yang Sect’s reputation? And… it seems like he’s grown stronger again.”

Soon enough, an angry voice echoed through the Wanqi clan. “Did you come on your own accord or is it under the order of the Pure Yang Sect? By attacking our clan’s Guarding Formation, are you trying to wage war on the Wanqi clan?”

“Wanqi Liu Su, tell Wanqi Wu Ming and Wanqi Jue to show themselves.”

Wanqi Liu Su was the name of the Clan Leader of the Wanqi clan.

Upon hearing these words, Wanqi Jue scoffed and flew up, leaving Wanqi Hong who had yet to leave behind.

Wanqi Hong recovered his senses and quickly followed Wanqi Jue.

…

Three figures hovered in the sky above the Wanqi clan’s estate. The person standing in the lead was a young man dressed in a long golden robe with silver trimmings. He had a jade-like complexion and an extraordinary bearing. He was expressionless as he looked down at the Wanqi clan’s estate.

At this time, Zhen Ping Fan said with a smile to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “Pay attention. Junior Uncle Ye is going to make them pay for what they’ve done.”

The corners of Duan Ling Tian’s twitched when he looked at Zhen Ping Fan who could barely contain his excitement. At the same time, he was also shocked by how confident Ye Chen Feng was. Ye Chen Feng did not seem to think much about the Wanqi clan, one of the top five forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, at all. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he thought it was not surprising since Ye Chen Feng now possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.

While Duan Ling Tian was conversing with Zhen Ping Fan through Voice Transmission, many figures shot up from the Wanqi clan’s estate. They hovered in front of the trio.

A middle-aged man dressed in a long dark green robe stood in the lead while about a dozen old men and a few middle-aged men stood behind him.

At this moment, a figure stepped forward. “Clan leader.”

It was none other than Wanqi Jue, one of the Golden Seats Elders of the Wanqi clan.

With this, it was easy for Duan Ling Tian to figure out that the middle-aged man in dark green robes was Wanqi Liu Su, the Clan Leader of the Wanqi clan.

Soon enough, another familiar figure appeared. It was none other than Wanqi Wu Ming, also a Golden Seat Elder of the Wanqi clan. He sounded angry as he said, “Ye Chen Feng, do you think no one in our clan is a match for you just because you made a little progress?”

Following that, another old man stepped forward. He was very inconspicuous and had an unassuming appearance.

Zhen Ping Fan told Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission that the old man was the leader among the three Golden Seat Elders of the Wanqi clan, Wanqi Yu Ning. He was also the Wanqi clan’s strongest powerhouse.

The members of the Wanqi clan bowed and greeted Wanqi Yu Ning as soon as he appeared. Even Wanqi Jue and Wanqi Wu Ming addressed him as ‘junior uncle’. Clearly, the strongest powerhouse in the Wanqi clan also had the highest seniority in the clan.

Zhen Ping Fan said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “He’s the most senior and strongest member of the Wanqi clan, but he won’t live for long. It’s said that he was severely injured during his last Heavenly Tribulation. It’s unlikely that he’ll survive the upcoming one.”
