Chapter 323: Chapter 323 He Did Not Lie
Wei Xiaoxi was very confident. After all, the Spirit Palace was a major force, aloof from worldly affairs. If a war were to break out, it was uncertain who would live and who would die.
HMM! No big deal! She thought for a moment and gradually calmed down.
Seeing her mind was made up, Mo Lai said no more. He could only silently pray that the Divine Clan’s Emperor Son was not too powerful.
A cool breeze blew, stirring the dust into a flurry. The November air was permeated with a chill, and a few withered leaves, from origins unknown, drifted by.
WHOOSH!
In the distant sky, a streak of golden light shot over, moving with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it arrived.
They were several powerful experts from the Purple Gold Divine Clan, their faces resolute, their expressions icy. Upon seeing Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu, they immediately gritted their teeth, their killing intention palpable. "How audacious! You dare to plunder the Spirit Pool of our Divine Clan’s ancestral land?"
As soon as they finished speaking, they attacked.
Wei Xiaoxi was startled by their words.
Plunder the Spirit Pool? Was that really what happened? He wasn’t lying? Could it be? Someone in the Emperor Dao Realm could actually accomplish such a major feat?
When Chen Pingping had first mentioned it, she hadn’t quite believed him because it seemed too preposterous. But now, the Divine Clan experts themselves had confirmed it.
She was suddenly at a loss for words.
Mo Lai attacked, unleashing powerful techniques. In an instant, Divine Brilliance flared, crushing the golden light. Then, with a wave of his hand, he severely injured several high-ranking Divine Clan experts.
"You!" A middle-aged man among them coughed up a mouthful of blood. After steadying himself, he sharply raised his head, glaring coldly at Mo Lai. "Spirit Palace, do you truly wish to make an enemy of our Divine Clan?"
"Has the Spirit Palace ever been friends with the Purple Gold Divine Clan?" Mo Lai asked, surprised. Weren’t they always enemies?
The Divine Clan expert spoke with a chilling voice, "Our Emperor Son has awakened. The entire Divine Clan will mobilize for war! If your Spirit Palace dares to protect them, you will undoubtedly perish."
"Has he truly awakened?" Mo Lai inquired.
"Of course," they replied.
"Oh, then let him come!" Mo Lai nodded, thinking to himself, Who isn’t an Emperor Son these days? He himself was a son of the Great Emperor Lingyun! Was he parading it around?
Mo Lai was exceedingly strong. He had once single-handedly swept through a large contingent of Divine Clan experts, achieving an astonishing battle record. From that day forward, no one from the Purple Gold Divine Clan dared to face Mo Lai lightly. The few high-ranking Divine Clan members had attacked because they were driven by fury and impatience.
Having calmed down, they exchanged glances. They could only retreat, maintaining a certain distance from Mo Lai, and then notified their clan.
Wei Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes. "They are coming."
Yes, the Divine Clan experts were indeed on their way.
In just a few short minutes, a vast expanse of golden Divine Brilliance began to appear on the horizon, streak after streak, like the dawn sun rising in the east, illuminating the entire sky—glorious and splendid.
Not only that, but the surrounding cultivators were also stirred. They all lifted their heads and then gathered from afar, a single thought echoing in their minds: "The Purple Gold Divine Clan is about to make its move!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Golden figures appeared one after another. In the blink of an eye, hundreds had gathered.
Emperor Tian emerged from the crowd. Seeing Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu, his eyes blazed red with fury as he roared, "Chen Pingping, return my Spirit Vein!"
Wei Xiaoxi: "???"
She opened her mouth slightly, a sudden realization dawning on her. Chen Pingping hadn’t deceived her.
This guy really dug up their Spirit Vein?
She glanced sideways at him subconsciously and asked, "Did you really dig up their Spirit Vein?"
Chen Pingping gave a wry smile and nodded.
"How did you manage that?" Wei Xiaoxi asked, curious.
"I already told you."
"..."
Come to think of it, he really had mentioned it. Using the Emperor Scripture for suppression, enveloping the Spirit Vein with Divine Sense, and forcefully digging it out.
Wei Xiaoxi’s expression tensed.
"Return our clan’s Emperor Scripture!" another high-ranking expert demanded, stepping forward with a face contorted in rage.
"Return our clan’s Emperor Spirit!"
"ARGH! Damn it... Chen Pingping, you even took our clan’s Emperor of Medicine!"
Wei Xiaoxi was dumbfounded.
Mo Lai was also dumbfounded.
So Chen Pingping hadn’t deceived them; everything he said was true! But... wasn’t he just an Emperor Dao Realm expert?
All the cultivators who had rushed over to spectate were utterly flabbergasted, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Previously, they had been speculating whether Chen Pingping had desecrated the Divine Clan’s ancestral tombs or perhaps offended one of their ancestors, thereby provoking the entire Divine Clan into mobilizing for war. Jin Wushuang had revived, the Emperor Son had revived, and they had even brought out the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.
Little did they imagine the truth would be this astounding.
Everyone was stunned.
Huang Mingzhi, who had rushed over, stumbled and nearly fell. Gazing at the assembled forces, he drew in a sharp breath and uttered, "My goodness."
On the other side, the Heavenly Dragon Prince had also arrived, his complexion pale. He muttered to himself, "He’s not to be antagonized, definitely not to be antagonized!"
"You even packed up and took away their Emperor Scripture?" Wei Xiaoxi stared at him, an expression of disbelief flickering across her solemn face, her earlier composure and calmness completely gone.
Chen Pingping hadn’t simply plundered the Divine Clan’s ancestral land; he had clearly severed the Divine Clan’s very foundation, cutting off their heritage! No wonder the Divine Clan had mobilized with such murderous intent.
Thinking of this, her face darkened.
More and more experts arrived...
The Purple Gold Divine Clan’s side was no different. Before long, Jin Wushuang arrived. He was a handsome young man dressed in purple, of average build, with spirited eyes.
He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, Divine Radiance intermittently flowing from within him. From a distance, he seemed like an immortal banished from the Nine Heavens, possessing peerless elegance and grace.
Jin Yu stood beside him.
Seeing this, Guang Xiaoyu panicked, instinctively hiding behind Chen Pingping, not daring to meet the gazes of Jin Wushuang and Jin Yu.
AHEM. Chen Pingping laughed sheepishly. "Senior, how about I give you the Emperor Scripture right now?"
Wei Xiaoxi’s mouth twitched. If she had known Chen Pingping would cause such a massive commotion, she would never have made a deal with him.
Now, all the Divine Clan’s experts had arrived, including Jin Wushuang.
For Chen Pingping to give her the Emperor Scripture at this moment... The implications were indeed profound!
WHOOSH!
Before she could respond, Chen Pingping extended a finger. A ray of light shot out, wrapping the Emperor Scripture and sending it into the space between Wei Xiaoxi’s brows. "Senior, the Emperor Scripture has been sent."
Saying that, he sent another copy to Mo Lai.
Both of them immediately widened their eyes.
He didn’t give it to us before, but he’s giving it now? What does he mean by this?
Sure enough...
The expressions of the group of Divine Clan experts changed significantly as they looked at the two.
Damn it! Wei Xiaoxi’s face was grim.
Chen Pingping then said, "Senior, I’ve lured out all the Divine Clan members for you. The Spirit Palace can make its move now! This is a perfect opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Don’t miss it!"
Wei Xiaoxi: "???"
"Didn’t you just say you weren’t afraid of the Divine Clan?" Chen Pingping’s eyes darted around. "You can’t miss this chance."
Did I say that? It seems I did.
Wei Xiaoxi wanted to refute. However, upon reflection, she recalled her own words: that she wasn’t afraid of the Divine Clan, that she was composed, and even that she was prepared to wage war against the entire Divine Clan.
But that was based on the assumption that the Divine Clan "wouldn’t go to such lengths." How could she have known that Chen Pingping had severed all of the Divine Clan’s heritage and foundations? This was ten thousand times more detestable than digging up the Divine Clan’s ancestral graves. The Purple Gold Divine Clan had come charging with overwhelming fury, brimming with killing intent. Who could possibly withstand such a force?
"Disciples of the Spirit Palace, charge!" Chen Pingping yelled. "Wipe out the Divine Clan! Overthrow their rule and reclaim freedom for our Human Clan!"
He shouted as he backed away.
Wei Xiaoxi and Mo Lai stood frozen, their faces rigid, their minds buzzing. Before they could fully recover, the Divine Clan experts in front had already launched their attack.
The observers from the three major empires, along with Huang Mingzhi and the Heavenly Dragon Prince, watched the unfolding scene with a distinct sense of déjà vu.
