Chapter 971: Chapter 988: The Role of Chi Xiao
Ye Feng and the others, upon returning to the Lin Family, had just pushed open the main door when they saw Lin Zhen and Sheng Xingzi sitting together in the living room, with an enigmatic, kind, and amiable-looking old man in front of them.
That old man was none other than the Old War God of the Dragon Country, Duan Lingfeng.
Ye Feng did not expect that the Old War God had been waiting for him at the Lin Family for some time. Seeing the Old War God, a hint of respect appeared in Ye Feng’s eyes as he greeted Lin Zhen and the Old War God: "Grandfather, Elder Duan."
The Old War God smiled slightly, nodded, and looking at Ye Feng, said, "Have you finally returned? It’s good that you’re back, Ye Feng. Let’s have a private conversation..."
Ye Feng nodded, and everyone tactfully gave them privacy, leaving the living room with only Ye Feng and the Old War God remaining. The Old War God looked at Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, did you bring the Chi Xiao Divine Sword?"
Ye Feng replied, "I brought it..." He then communicated with his Execution God Ring, and with a flash of light, a crimson longsword appeared in Ye Feng’s hand. As soon as the longsword appeared, it emitted a faint sword hum, which echoed slightly in the living room, releasing a glint of cold light before fading away.
The longsword was indeed the famed Chi Xiao. Ye Feng handed the Chi Xiao to the Old War God, who accepted it and examined it carefully. A smile appeared in his eyes as he said, "Not bad, not bad! It really is the Chi Xiao Divine Sword. Impressive, its quality even surpasses my Zhanlu. Ye Feng, you’ve worked hard this time..."
Ye Feng shook his head, then curiously asked, "Old War God, didn’t you mention that there was an important mission this time? What is the mission?" Ye Feng went straight to the point, not wasting words.
The Old War God nodded, "You know, the Chi Xiao Divine Sword is not only an extremely sharp and powerful famed sword; it has another function—it is the key to the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb..."
"Xuanyuan Sword Tomb!" Ye Feng was taken aback, a look of surprise in his eyes. "Does the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb really exist?"
The Old War God nodded, "Of course it exists. Legend has it that the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb was crafted by Emperor Xuanyuan. It holds the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan, countless opportunities, and even the strongest divine sword of our Dragon Country, the legendary Xuanyuan Sword! Although the Chi Xiao Divine Sword, your Seven Stars Dragon Spring, and my Zhanlu are all among the Ten Famous Swords along with the Xuanyuan Sword.
However, the quality of the Xuanyuan Sword far surpasses any famed sword; it’s simply not of the same caliber. To enter the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, it’s necessary to collect the four keys of the tomb, which are the four famous swords.
And these four keys are the famed swords Chi Xiao, Cheng Ying, Fish Intestine, and my Zhanlu. If we can gather these four famous swords, we can open the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb and enter within. That’s why I asked you to bring back the Chi Xiao Divine Sword this time. Since you have brought it back, it’s time to set out for the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb!"
Upon hearing "Xuanyuan Sword Tomb," Ye Feng was filled with anticipation.
It is known that the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb is a fabled place, existing only in myths. Ye Feng himself didn’t expect the existence of the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, which made him look forward to it.
According to legend, the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb is the Inheritance Land of Emperor Xuanyuan, filled with countless treasures, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, spiritual pills, and endless other things, making Ye Feng extremely eager.
The Old War God said, "Currently, the Chi Xiao Divine Sword and Zhanlu are already in our Dragon Country’s possession. As for Cheng Ying, it is held by the Beastman Army and Beast Emperor in E Country, while the Fish Intestine Sword is in the hands of the Superpower Clan’s Mad God in M Country.
We have already made arrangements to jointly open the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, enter the tomb, and obtain the opportunities. This time, I need you to accompany me there. Together, we will strive to seize resources from the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, ensuring that E Country and M Country don’t gain too much benefit. Do you understand?"
Ye Feng nodded, knowing well the Old War God’s sentiments. The Xuanyuan Sword Tomb is a legacy left by the ancestors of Dragon Country.
It’s an important resource within Dragon Country, but unfortunately, Cheng Ying and the Fish Intestine Sword have fallen into the hands of E Country and M Country. They have no choice but to open the sword tomb together, sharing the country’s resources with other countries. Naturally, the Old War God was displeased, hoping to join forces with Ye Feng to seize some resources from their grasp.
Yun Feng curiously asked, "Old War God, when do we set off then?"
"Prepare yourself; we depart the day after tomorrow in the morning to head for the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb!" Upon hearing the Old War God’s words, Ye Feng became excited, and after discussing some other matters, he went to make preparations.
Time flew by, and quickly it was the day of departure. As the sky barely began to brighten, an armed helicopter landed on the Lin Family’s open grounds—it was the Old War God’s helicopter. Ye Feng stepped onto the helicopter.
"Heavenly Lord Ye!" As Ye Feng stepped onto the plane, the warriors on the helicopter greeted Ye Feng with eyes filled with respect.
The Old War God was also among the crowd, smiling at Ye Feng. This time, their group consisted of eight people.
Besides Ye Feng and the Old War God, there were six legendary Great Perfection powerhouses.
Among those six legendary Great Perfection powerhouses was Ye Feng’s adjutant, Liu Mu.
Upon seeing Ye Feng, Liu Mu’s eyes showed excitement, calling out respectfully, "Heavenly Monarch, long time no see."
Ye Feng also smiled slightly, "Yes, long time no see. Has anything happened in Southern Border lately?"
Liu Mu shook his head, "Of course, nothing has happened. Even though you weren’t around temporarily, the Old War God was there in your stead, and the surrounding countries became very compliant after learning of his presence."
The other legendary Great Perfection powerhouses on the plane also showed great respect toward Ye Feng.
Although Ye Feng’s appearance was very youthful, and in reality, he was the youngest among them.
There was no resentment towards Ye Feng among them; the battle nine years ago, where Ye Feng swept over one Divine Realm and eight legendary Great Perfection powerhouses, was enough to earn their admiration.
Moreover, not long ago, the head of the Huangfu Family, Huangfu Zhan, was defeated by Ye Feng, which further commanded their respect.
