Chapter 784: Chapter 785: Competition for Inheritance

The inheritance of Yunyu Tian Gong was coveted by everyone.

Every martial artist present had, at some point, a heart aspiring to be stronger. If they didn’t want the inheritance of Yunyu Tian Gong, they wouldn’t have spent so much time in this Divine Domain.

"Don’t be silly, to truly obtain the inheritance of Yunyu Tian Gong, you must collect 50,000 Feathershine Crystals. Do you really think we can collect that many?"

One of the Ancient Desolate Sect disciples spoke disdainfully.

"It would be better to give them to Senior Brother and exchange them for some benefits."

"Indeed, if we collect more Feathershine Crystals and give them to Senior Brother, we can definitely exchange them for benefits, and by the time we get out, we can figure out a way to break through life and death. Once we reach the Fragmented Life realm, we will become true old-timers, commanding an extraordinary status within the sect."

Another disciple said.

The two discussed while continuously collecting countless treasures within the palace, including the Feathershine Crystals, all of which they took possession of.

Just then, suddenly a figure burst into the palace.

"Who?"

The faces of the two Ancient Desolate Sect disciples changed abruptly, filled with murderous intent.

In this Divine Domain, it was not uncommon to see people killed for the countless treasures they carried.

But when they got a clear look at the intruding figure, their faces changed drastically.

The figure was none other than Chu Fengmian, who had just faced off against four and left Gu Bai severely injured.

"Run!"

The two Ancient Desolate Sect disciples moved to flee immediately.

Having witnessed Chu Fengmian’s strength firsthand, they dared not confront him and, without hesitation, attempted to escape.

"You think you can escape right before me?"

Chu Fengmian’s mouth curled into a disdainful smile. With a wave of his hand, the two Ancient Desolate Sect disciples were blasted to death by a force of Spiritual Power, their blood mist completely absorbed by Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian walked over and picked up the storage rings of the two disciples. Together, their rings contained over a thousand Feathershine Crystals and many other treasures, all of which Chu Fengmian placed into his own storage ring.

"Saint Lord Huang seems determined to get the inheritance of Yunyu Tian Gong, having already started to purchase Feathershine Crystals at great cost."

Chu Fengmian had heard some of their previous conversation and naturally knew about this.

Saint Lord Huang was adamant about acquiring the inheritance of Yunyu Tian Gong and would not be spending such a significant sum to buy Feathershine Crystals otherwise.

Because if the inheritance of Yunyu Tian Gong were to be obtained by someone else first, the Feathershine Crystals in hand would become meaningless; any high price paid would have been in vain.

This instilled a sense of urgency in Chu Fengmian’s heart.

If Saint Lord Huang was going out of his way to purchase Feathershine Crystals, then not only the people from the major seven sects but even martial artists from other forces might realize the futility of fighting for the inheritance themselves and decide to sell their Feathershine Crystals to Saint Lord Huang.

Whether it was obtaining some treasures or a favor from Saint Lord Huang, it would be a transaction with no loss involved.

In the Divine Domain of Yunyu Tian Gong, actually, only about ten percent of the warriors were disciples of the seven major sects, while the remaining ninety percent belonged to other forces.

Many of these martial artists were self-aware, knowing that the inheritance of Yunyu Tian Gong was not something they could compete for.

Any of these people might sell their Feathershine Crystals to Saint Lord Huang, effectively helping him collect Feathershine Crystals.

He had to quicken his pace.

Chu Fengmian’s body moved, and once again using the Phantom movement technique, he headed towards the next palace.

In the span of an hour, Chu Fengmian had visited four or five palaces, acquiring all the Feathershine Crystals held by the warriors within.

Encountering disciples of the seven major sects, Chu Fengmian was ruthless, leaving no margin for discussion.

As for those martial artists who were not disciples of the seven major sects, Chu Fengmian would actively demand they hand over the Feathered Crystals; if they complied, he would spare their lives.

After all, Chu Fengmian had no grudge against other sects, and he was not a person who killed indiscriminately. As long as they gave up the Feathered Crystals, he did not take any other treasures they had acquired.

However, should those martial artists fail to recognize the situation, Chu Fengmian would show no mercy and would have no choice but to slay them.

Chu Fengmian would not give them the chance to sell these Feathered Crystals to Saint Lord Huang, for to spare them would be to aid the enemies of Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian had no interest in such a thing.

In the span of an hour, Chu Fengmian had already searched through the surrounding palaces.

These palaces were huge beyond measure, and within this Cloud Feather Palace, Chu Fengmian could not use his flight technique or employ the Battle Dragon Treasure Chariot; he could only rely on his movement technique to travel, which greatly slowed down his speed.

It took an hour to completely search the surrounding palaces.

The Feathered Crystals he acquired already amounted to more than ten thousand, and aside from that, countless treasures filled several spatial rings to the brim.

It could be said that even if he left now, the treasures he obtained from this Cloud Feather Palace would not be inferior to those found in a trove of the Ancient Dragon Emperor.

Yet how could Chu Fengmian leave just like that? His goal was the legacy of the Cloud Feather Palace.

Without securing the Cloud Feather Palace legacy, Chu Fengmian would not leave.

"Continue!"

Chu Fengmian paused briefly, then set out again towards a more distant area.

On the other hand, it seemed the disciples of the seven major sects had already elected Saint Lord Huang as their leader, entrusting him with all the Feathered Crystals they had obtained.

In front of a palace, Saint Lord Huang was sitting on the ground outside of it, appearing to be practicing a certain cultivation technique.

"Elder Brother."

An Ancient Desolate Sect disciple hurried over and handed over a spatial ring.

This ring was brimming with Feathered Crystals.

"This is from the Xuantian Sect, presented to Elder Brother."

"Good, tell the people of the Xuantian Sect that they will not be short of rewards once the matter is accomplished."

Saint Lord Huang slowly stood up from the ground and spoke.

"Moreover, promise more benefits. Have everyone hand over their Feathered Crystals to me. I must obtain the legacy of the Cloud Feather Palace!"

"Yes, Elder Brother. There is another matter I need to report."

The Ancient Desolate Sect disciple’s expression was somewhat grim.

"Speak!"

Saint Lord Huang commanded sharply.

Startled, the Ancient Desolate Sect disciple quickly knelt on the ground and began to speak.

"Inside this Cloud Feather Palace, Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli are pursuing and killing our disciples from the seven major sects. Some others who are not from the seven major sects have been slain by them too, and all their Feathered Crystals have been robbed."

"Oh? As expected, this youngster’s aim is for the legacy of the Cloud Feather Palace as well."

Upon hearing this, Saint Lord Huang showed no surprise on his face; he was utterly calm, having already guessed all of this.

"Issue the order to hasten our actions. Don’t bother with this youngster for now. Once I have obtained the legacy of the Cloud Feather Palace, there will be ways to kill him later!"
