Chapter 642 - 641: The Lion Opens Its Mouth Wide

Chapter 642: Chapter 641: The Lion Opens Its Mouth Wide

"It seems I heard you talking earlier about coercion."

"Do you now understand what it means to coerce?"

Ye Xuan looked at Chang Zuhua and the others with a faint gaze, speaking unhurriedly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s faces became exceedingly ugly.

Especially Guo Xuan.

He had indeed been discussing this very issue with Ji Siyan just before.

However, he never expected that in the blink of an eye, it would be Ye Xuan and his people reversing the pressure onto them.

"Senior, please have mercy."

At this moment, Elder Pang was the most flustered of all.

The Divine Sun Sword of Ning Zongtang was directly pressing against his forehead, causing his cultivation to continuously drain away.

It wouldn’t take long for his cultivation to fall below the Saint Realm, and then he would be done for!

Even though Artifact Refiners usually have much thicker foundations than others, they can’t withstand such consumption!

With such rate of depletion, even immortals couldn’t bear it!

It was at this point Elder Pang finally calmed down, realizing the situation had changed.

Even though the opponents were just from the Emperor Immortal Sect, their strength was obviously terrifying, and even if the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect wouldn’t usually take an Emperor Immortal Sect into consideration, they had no choice but to lower their heads now.

Ning Zongtang tugged at the worn cape behind him, speaking in the same unhurried manner, "You attacked my disciple without reason, don’t you have an explanation?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Elder Pang hurriedly said, "Later, I will compensate each of you with a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, how about that?"

"Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts? Aren’t those just the common trash you have lying around at the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect?" Ning Zongtang scoffed.

Elder Pang’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.

He hadn’t expected that the people from the Emperor Immortal Sect would be so discerning.

Logically, the Emperor Immortal Sect, which had declined for over 40,000 years, should be overjoyed to receive a top-grade Spiritual Artifact each; however, they reacted just the opposite, something he hadn’t anticipated at all.

But then again, after giving it some thought, it made sense. This old man possessed extraordinary strength and wielded an extremely terrifying Divine Sword. It would be surprising if such a person lacked discernment.

After pondering for a moment, Elder Pang said, "Then, Senior, please say, what kind of compensation would you like?"

Ning Zongtang looked at Elder Pang indifferently, then his gaze shifted to Ye Xuan on top of the Mechanical Divine Phoenix and he said calmly, "Little Ye Xuan, it’s up to you now."

If he himself had spoken, he certainly would have made an extravagant demand, but since this matter involved Ye Xuan and it was Elder Pang who had lashed out at him, it was only right for Ye Xuan to speak.

Besides, Ning Zongtang was also looking to hand over both big and small matters to the younger generation like Ye Xuan.

Moreover, he had complete faith in Ye Xuan.

"Senior, could you please release Elder Pang first?" Chang Zuhua looked at Ning Zongtang and pleaded with clasped hands.

Ning Zongtang twisted his right hand, and the Divine Sun Sword automatically sheathed itself. He said with an indifferent expression, "Why not?"

"Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy."

Elder Pang finally caught his breath and immediately swallowed several precious elixirs to stabilize his injuries without saying another word.

Ye Xuan glanced at Chang Zuhua before shifting his gaze to Elder Pang, and he said slowly, "I’ve heard that on the Myriad Tools Divine Mountain where your Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect resides, there are three natural old refining furnaces. Since you want to compensate, then use one of those old furnaces as compensation."

"What?!"

As soon as these words were uttered, both the people on the Mechanical Divine Phoenix and Elder Pang changed their expressions drastically.

Even Ning Zongtang was also astonished, thinking to himself that this young man was even more demanding than he was.

Following that, Guo Xuan looked at Ye Xuan with a gloomy expression and said sternly, "Aren’t you being excessively outrageous with your demands, lad? Those three old furnaces are the foundation of our Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect. You want one of our old furnaces just like that? What a joke."

The other disciples of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect also looked at Ye Xuan with displeased expressions.

All of East Desolate knew that those three old furnaces were the lifeblood of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect. And now, Ye Xuan was demanding one of them outright, an act equivalent to making an extravagant demand or even insulting the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect!

For the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, one of the East Desolate Ten Dominators, to be so belittled was infuriating.

Even the usually good-natured Ji Siyan was greatly angered at the moment.

"If you continue to be so unreasonable, then let’s forget the matter of compensation," Chang Zuhua said coldly.

In normal times, he could be amiable, but when it came to matters of his own Sect, he would not yield an inch!

Giving up one of the old furnaces was out of the question.

No need to discuss anything at all.

"That’s right, your Emperor Immortal Sect is nothing but a small sect from the wilderness of the Southern Domain. Do you really think that repelling the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven was so impressive? In the eyes of our Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, you are still just ants!"

The other disciples of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect also started to shout and jeer.

Boom!

But as soon as the words fell, an intense blast of cold air erupted in an instant, freezing the entire Mechanical Divine Phoenix solid!

At that moment, Zhou Youwei, dressed in white, holding the Narrow Blade Winter Thunder and unleashing the divine might of the Mystic Ice Divine Body, emitted a terrifying chill that froze the soul to its depths!

Frost densely covered Zhou Youwei’s stunningly beautiful face at this moment.

In that instant, the group of disciples who had been ready to jeer suddenly shut their mouths, their eyes filled with fear.

’How is this guy so strong? Isn’t she just at the Life Palace Realm?’

’Goodness, her physique is terrifying!’

’Does she also have a Divine Body?’

Suddenly, the disciples of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect all started pondering in their hearts.

Zhou Youwei’s second outburst was even more terrifying than when she first took action, causing even these disciples from the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect—one of the East Desolate Ten Dominators—to furrow their brows.

"It seems you’ve all misunderstood the current situation," Ye Xuan said indifferently without any urgency, "I’ve already made my statement; whether you comply or not is up to you. If you do, that would be for the best. If not, then I’ll personally make a visit to your Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect."

Having said that, Ye Xuan did not care about the mocking looks on everyone’s faces, clasped Zhou Youwei around her slender waist with one hand, and flew away, leaving behind a final statement:

"Old Ning, take down this Mechanical Divine Phoenix."

Guo Xuan and the others had been full of scorn, thinking that Ye Xuan was talking nonsense. After all, the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect was the number one artifact refining sacred land in the East Desolate. This guy said he wanted to make a visit to the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect? Could he even get in?

However, when Ye Xuan’s final words fell, their faces completely changed.

"Not good!"

Chang Zuhua and the others’ complexions greatly changed, and they immediately flew up from the Mechanical Divine Phoenix.

Boom!

The moment they took off, Ning Zongtang casually released a slash of sword Qi across the sky, cutting the massive and majestic Mechanical Divine Phoenix in half!

Then, to the astonishment of Chang Zuhua and the others, the Mechanical Divine Phoenix, split in two, crumbled to dust!

That scene turned their faces green.

The construction of a Mechanical Divine Phoenix was extremely costly, and even for the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, it represented a significant expenditure.

Now, the Mechanical Divine Phoenix had been brutally destroyed by someone!

After doing all this, Ning Zongtang tugged at his worn cloak and vanished.

"Utterly detestable!" Guo Xuan clenched his teeth, devoid of his previous carefree demeanor.

"My Mechanical Divine Phoenix!" Elder Pang let out a cry of grief.

He had also participated in the sacrificial refinement of this Mechanical Divine Phoenix and had witnessed its completion.

As a seasoned artifact refiner, he regarded the spiritual artifacts he crafted as if they were his own children.

One could imagine how devastating the destruction of the Mechanical Divine Phoenix was to Elder Pang and others’ spirits.

"From here to Hengduan Mountain, slay any member of the Emperor Immortal Sect we see," Chang Zuhua declared, standing in the air, surrounded by howling gang wind that whipped his robes, his eyes erupting with a terrifying murderous intent.

As one of the five Saint Heirs of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect and the leader of this expedition,

he had already faced the loss of a Mechanical Divine Phoenix before even setting foot in Hengduan Mountain.

This was nothing short of a monumental humiliation!

"We must obtain that girl’s Winter Thunder Blade; it must certainly be a genuine artifact from our founding ancestor!" Elder Pang emerged from his sorrow, staring intently in the direction where Ye Xuan and the others had left, and spoke with a dark expression.

"A genuine artifact?!"

Elder Pang’s words caused Chang Zuhua and the others to frown, their eyes flashing with sharp lights.

"Absolutely!" Elder Pang nodded affirmatively, "And it’s extremely well preserved!"

"Good!" Chang Zuhua nodded in agreement.

Though Elder Pang often seemed a bit eccentric, when it came to identifying the founding ancestor’s genuine artifacts, his judgment was second to none.

They all trusted what Elder Pang said.

"No wonder that guy, being merely at the Life Palace Realm, has such formidable strength..." Guo Xuan narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
