Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 267: Chapter 266: No Battle

”Did Ling the Pill Master get the Marsh King’s inheritance?” When Ling Fei appeared, everyone from the Lingyun Sect looked completely astonished.

After all, they had all been sent flying by that restriction!

Even Lian Shuang was no exception; in the end, she was blasted away by the restriction’s attack in a sorry state.

But Ling Fei had flown down from the mountain, his movements graceful and clearly different.

Ling Fei landed, first bowing deeply toward the mountain peak before turning to look at the others from his sect.

”It seems he really did obtain the Marsh King’s inheritance,” He Tianming murmured upon seeing this.

’Even I couldn’t cross that bridge, yet Ling Fei actually managed to get the Marsh King’s inheritance?’ Lian Shuang frowned, her face filled with astonishment as she gazed at Ling Fei.

Lian Shuang had absolute confidence in her own talent.

But in this insignificant Southern Wilderness Land, someone had actually surpassed her. How could she not be astonished?

What Lian Shuang didn’t know, however, was that the person the Marsh King was waiting for not only needed high talent but, more importantly, had to possess True Dragon Power.

Ling Fei not only had high talent but also possessed dense True Dragon Power, so naturally, Lian Shuang was no match for him.

”Ling the Pill Master, did you receive the Marsh King’s inheritance?” a prodigy standing nearby couldn’t help but ask.

Instantly, everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at Ling Fei, their gazes filled with an inexplicable excitement.

”I guess you could say I obtained the Marsh King’s inheritance,” Ling Fei said with a shrug.

”What kind of inheritance?” Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up as she asked.

”Just a Divine Technique,” Ling Fei said with a smile.

”They say the Marsh King once obtained a Heaven-Defying Supreme Treasure. Did you get it, Ling the Pill Master?” a young man asked, his face burning with passion.

”Huang Feng, that’s not something you should be asking!” He Tianming’s gaze hardened as he shot a look at the young man.

”Haha, I just got excited for a moment and misspoke,” the young man named Huang Feng said with a sheepish laugh.

”The Marsh King was defeated by King Ji back then, and his Supreme Treasure was also taken. All he left behind was the inheritance of his Divine Techniques,” Ling Fei said with a hint of regret.

He certainly wasn’t going to mention that he had obtained the True Dragon’s Eye.

”That’s true. It’s said that the powerhouses from the major sects hunted King Ji for over half a year because of it. Unfortunately, King Ji eventually left the Southern Wilderness, and the whereabouts of the Supreme Treasure have been unknown ever since,” Zhao Fan said.

”We should be leaving now,” He Tianming said.

He had no intention of asking any more questions about Ling Fei’s inheritance.

Asking too much about such things could easily lead to trouble, so it was better not to ask.

”I wonder what the situation is like outside,” Ling Fei murmured, his eyes narrowing as he gazed into the distant Void.

’By now, the people outside must already know that I killed Beichen Yu and the others, right?’

Afterward, the group headed out of Marsh King Mountain together.

As they proceeded, Ling Fei was surprised to discover that the number of cultivators from the various major sects was gradually decreasing.

Even the disciples from the Beiming Sword Sect who had been hunting him were nowhere to be seen.

”What’s going on?” He Tianming and the others were all bewildered.

...

「Meanwhile, in the marshland outside.」

Cultivators from the various sects stood atop the mountain peaks.

However, the Elders from sects like the Dongze Sect, Thousand Lakes Mountain, and Wind Watching Cliff had bitter expressions on their faces.

They had sent messages to their sects earlier, only for their enraged Sect Leaders to order them to properly apologize to the Lingyun Sect.

With that, they no longer held any hope that their sects would come to stand up for them.

In truth, with Sect Leader Yuan present, they never really expected their own sects to intervene on their behalf.

Everything depended on the Beiming Sword Sect now.

Thus, the Elders of these three sects pinned all their hopes on the people from the Beiming Sword Sect.

The five Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses from the Beiming Sword Sect were also feeling unreconciled, waiting for news from their sect.

HUMMM!

Suddenly, Beichen Xinghe’s Waist Token began to hum, and Light Patterns flickered across its surface.

’A message has arrived.’ Beichen Xinghe’s heart stirred, and he immediately sent his Heart Spirit into the Waist Token.

However, the moment his Heart Spirit sank into it, his expression changed drastically.

A terse message came from the Waist Token: ”Do not fight. Return at once!”

As the message registered in his Heart Spirit, Beichen Xinghe’s face became incredibly grim.

”Why?” Beichen Xinghe sent back a message, his tone full of accusation.

’Even if this Yuan Huaitian is strong, with the might of the Beiming Sword Sect, why should we fear him?’

’With Thousand Lakes Mountain, Wind Watching Cliff, and the Dongze Sect here to support us, isn’t this the perfect opportunity to deal with the Lingyun Sect?’

Beichen Xinghe had only backed down earlier because he was waiting for orders from his sect.

Deep down, he still hoped the sect would choose to fight and completely crush the Lingyun Sect.

”This is not the time to start a war. Do not bring disaster upon yourself,” came the indifferent reply. After that, there was only silence.

’Do not bring disaster upon myself?’ Beichen Xinghe’s face was sullen. The sect’s meaning was clear: if he stubbornly persisted and was killed by Yuan Huaitian, the sect would not intervene.

But Beichen Xinghe had no choice but to swallow his anger.

He was a powerhouse at the Divine Wheel Seventh Layer, but the Beiming Sword Sect had powerhouses at the Divine Wheel Eighth Layer, and even the Ninth Layer.

Although he was the Grand Elder, he could not defy the orders of the Supreme Elders.

Thus, he could only take a deep breath and suppress his rage.

’The Beiming Sword Sect isn’t going to step in?’ Seeing the shift in Beichen Xinghe’s expression, the hearts of the people from Thousand Lakes Mountain and Wind Watching Cliff sank.

It seemed there was no one left to vent their frustrations for them today.

Sect Leader Yuan took in all their emotional changes, but his own expression remained impassive.

As the leader of a sect, he naturally understood the Beiming Sword Sect’s concerns.

The Beiming Sword Sect was indeed powerful. But if they were to truly go to war with the Lingyun Sect, would the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple simply stand by and watch?

At that time, those two great powers would be the ones to profit from the conflict.

The Sect Leader of the Beiming Sword Sect would naturally not take such a risk.

Not unless he was confident he could crush the Sect Leaders of the other two major sects.

It was also due to his own reservations that Sect Leader Yuan hadn’t simply killed all of these Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses.

After all, the Lingyun Sect of today could not bear the consequences either.

They still needed to bide their time, build their strength, and seek development.

”Recall our people from the sect,” Beichen Xinghe said in a low voice.

”Yes!” The person beside him immediately ordered the members of the Beiming Sword Sect to leave the Dongze Ruins.

The remaining few sects did the same.

Now that a war was impossible, there was no point in their people remaining in the Dongze Ruins.

And so, people began to fly out from the Qi Vortex of the Dongze Ruins one after another.

”What happened earlier?” Seeing the Elders outside, these youths were all filled with astonishment.

However, none of them dared to ask.

Only after everyone had returned to stand behind their sect’s Elders did they learn what had happened outside from some of their peers.

”A great battle between Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses took place?!” Hearing this news, everyone was completely shocked.

At the same time, they felt a pang of regret. A battle between Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses was something they rarely ever got to see!

”Ling Fei obtained the Marsh King’s inheritance?” At this moment, Yuan Lang the Pill Master also received a transmission from Ling Fei and the others.

”Haha, it seems this Ling Fei is truly a person of great fortune and destiny!” Elder He seemed very pleased.

”I wonder what kind of inheritance he actually received?” Sect Leader Yuan and the others were also very happy after learning this news.

The Marsh King’s inheritance couldn’t possibly be inferior. If he truly obtained it, it would be of immense benefit to Ling Fei’s future growth.
