Chapter 1712: Chapter 1743: Believe It or Not, I’ll Annihilate Your Clan
“Battlefield of the Heavens?”
“An ancient battlefield is nothing special. Within our clan, there are elders who control ancient battlefields. The truly powerful ones are claimed by others.”
Yang Chen feigned indifference and said flatly.
“That is incorrect. Senior, you are unaware; the Battlefield of the Heavens differs from any ancient battlefield. The secrets it holds are enough to drive all cultivators in the Immortal Gods Realm mad.”
Wang Ruoying softly explained.
“Oh?”
“What makes it different?”
Li Xiaobai appropriately cooperated, playing along with Yang Chen.
“It’s rumored that the Battlefield of the Heavens contains a passage to the Ancient Starry Sky Road.”
“There’s also a rumor of a passage directly to the first battlefield.”
Wang Ruoying revealed a secret that Li Xiaobai already knew.
“Ancient Starry Sky Road, first battlefield?”
“Does such a treasure exist in this small place?”
Yang Chen’s expression carried a mix of ridicule, shock, and puzzlement, showcasing the remarkable acting skills of this fourth senior brother.
Better than the sixth senior brother’s acting.
“If the young master is interested, perhaps visit my residence. My daughter can introduce it properly.”
“Coincidentally, our clan is selecting young talents to enter the ancient battlefield. It might be beneficial to discuss, my daughter has many questions for Young Master Li.”
Wang Ruoying bowed respectfully, her posture humble.
“Very well, it is an honor to have tea with an Immortal. Follow along quietly.”
Li Xiaobai played along and smiled at Wang Ruoying, then coldly instructed Yang Chen.
A short half hour later.
Wang Ruoying led the two into the core region of the Clan of the Heavenly Gods, sitting in a pavilion beside water.
More than ten young talents were already waiting there, looking puzzled upon seeing Li Xiaobai and Yang Chen.
“Immortal Wang, who are these two…”
“Fellow Daoists, these two are experts from the Abyssal Domain, whom I met by chance at the auction. I brought them here to connect with all of you as well.”
Wang Ruoying said with a smile.
“I heard a young man at the auction bids an absurd billion for items. The elder from our clan left early. Could it be this one?”
“I heard that, too. Our experts didn’t even see the finale treasures at the auction before leaving, a first-time occurrence.”
The introduction sparked memories of the auction’s controversial events among several family members.
Unable to purchase any treasures, even with money, was unprecedented.
“Correct, it was young Master Li who bid.”
“He spent extravagantly. I witnessed the whole auction. Young Master Li brilliantly demonstrated what it means to be a noble family heir, breaking all records of the Heavenly Gods clan’s auction house. It was astonishing. Our elders are aware and likely to invite him to the Battlefield of the Heavens.”
Wang Ruoying slowly explained.
“Which family does Young Master Li come from in the Abyssal Domain?”
“I’ve not heard of the Li Family in the Abyssal Domain?”
A cultivator looked at Li Xiaobai and asked.
“Just a minor family, no need to mention.”
“But this ‘Battlefield of the Heavens’ Immortal Wang mentioned, what kind of place is it? Does it truly hold secrets to the Ancient Starry Sky Road?”
Li Xiaobai waved his hand, taking the initiative to start the topic. He understood Yang Chen’s intent: Their grand gesture at the auction was to catch the Clan of the Heavenly Gods’ attention.
Now they must ensure the Heavenly Gods clan invites them to enter the Battlefield of the Heavens, allowing them to enter effortlessly without suspicion.
The plan was perfect, but the entire expense was from Li Xiaobai. He felt a bit imbalanced, hoping for a chance to hand the fourth senior brother a loss, to recover the millions spent on rare earth resources.
“Of course, otherwise, why would I have taken the risk to invite you two?”
“The Battlefield of the Heavens has long been in the Eastern Domain…”
Wang Ruoying smiled, intending to explain it further but was interrupted.
A young man in white stood up, lightly coughing twice: “Immortal Wang, let’s not rush. The news about the Battlefield of the Heavens can wait until Liu Yun arrives. I heard he brings news from our clan.”
The young man in white looked unfriendly at Li Xiaobai and Yang Chen, while others just wore fake smiles, but he showed honest disdain.
With his words, the other young talents’ faces cooled somewhat, all expressing agreement silently.
“That’s fine, I was indeed being inconsiderate. I’ll explain it to Brother Liu Yun when he arrives.”
“We’ve received some excellent new tea leaves, come try them, and please don’t be disdainful.”
Wang Ruoying’s face went rigid for a moment before speaking promptly.
She hadn’t expected them to be so disrespectful, truly lacking insight.
Li Xiaobai understood what was happening. Naturally, he knew this was disrupting the scene, making people unhappy.
Wang Ruoying invited them to this gathering, intending to facilitate the discussion among young talents as a gesture toward allowing them to enter the Battlefield of the Heavens.
An outsider wanting to intervene in the Battlefield of the Heavens and divide resources, local cultivators naturally disagree.
Li Xiaobai didn’t wish to provoke trouble, but Yang Chen was different. Right as the young man in white finished speaking, the fourth senior brother shot up.
He pointed and angrily rebuked the young man in white: “What do you think you are, talking to my young master like that!”
“Believe it or not, I can level your clan with a command!”
“What did you say?”
“I, Chen Tianzhen, have never heard such nonsense. Even if you’re from the Abyssal Domain, so what?”
“Do you really think you can act lawlessly? This is the Eastern Domain, the territory of the Clan of the Heavenly Gods, and the domain of our nine clans!”
Chen Tianzhen was furious, never having endured such treatment, his aura surged forth, intending to teach Yang Chen a lesson.
Before Wang Ruoying could stop him, Chen Tianzhen lunged forward, throwing a punch directly at Yang Chen’s face.
“Stop him now!”
“They’re my guests; you must not attack this master-servant duo!”
Wang Ruoying’s expression changed drastically, but the surrounding cultivators were deaf to her pleas, with a gleam of intrigue in their eyes.
Their interests were threatened, ensuring they wouldn’t heed the identities of friends at this moment. An outsider daring to stretch his hand towards the Battlefield of the Heavens must suffer.
“You invite my young master here, then attack him, can I assume this is a scheme against my master?”
Yang Chen’s expression remained unchanged, slightly raising his hand to grip Yang Tianzhen’s neck, squeezing casually.
“Crack.”
The sound of bones shattering was clear.
The head of the young man in white rotated 180 degrees, his eyes losing life and his aura diminished, utterly dead.
“Uttering falsehoods about my master results in this fate.”
