Chapter 779: Chapter 779
"That’s not the case, this treasure has fallen into our Wang Family’s hands. Tianyang Hall has eradicated the fleeing Heterodox Cultivator and recaptured the Golden Blade. The treasure is now securely in our possession, so the Bloodvine Clan should not continue to fight."
By the end of his statement, Wang Tianxin’s face brimmed with pride.
Wang Tianyang possesses the Nine Suns Body and is a key point of cultivation focus within the Wang Family. He is currently at the Middle Stage of Unity, and his strength surpasses that of Wang Tianxin.
If the Bloodvine Clan wishes to secure the Golden Blade, they would have to annihilate the Wang Family, an endeavor clearly beyond their capabilities.
"That’s great news! If the Golden Blade were to fall into the Bloodvine Clan’s hands, we would be in trouble."
Bai Yunfeng’s face lit up with a smile.
"Indeed! With this treasure, our Human Clan’s strength has increased substantially."
Liu Xin expressed her deep agreement.
"Taoist Friend Wang, did your cousin just happen to encounter a Heterodox Cultivator?"
Jin Lang curiously inquired.
The territory controlled by the Human Clan is vast, and if two Unity Cultivators intend to hide, they would be quite difficult to find.
The chance encounter of a Unity Cultivator from the Mount Taibai Sword Sect passing through the Divine Weapon Marketplace could be considered coincidental, but surely Wang Tianyang finding a Heterodox Unity Cultivator can’t also be a coincidence!
"Of course not. Tianyang’s Spirit Beast has a keen sense of smell, and by following the scent, he located the enemy’s hiding place before making his move to eliminate them."
Wang Tianxin explained.
Wang Tianyang has a seventh-grade Swallowing Spirit Rat, which possesses the bloodline of a Swallowing Heaven Mouse with a sensitive nose and excellent tracking abilities.
They organized dozens of Unity Cultivators to seal off an area, leading Unity Cultivators in patrol teams.
Wang Tianyang’s Swallowing Spirit Rat traced the scent and located the enemy’s stronghold. The two Heterodox Unity Cultivators were no match for Wang Tianyang.
"Taoist Friend Wang is truly worthy of being a Spirit Body Practitioner, capable of eliminating Unity Cultivators who possess a Supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure."
Wu Xuan showed a look of admiration.
"It has nothing much to do with being a Spirit Body Practitioner. It’s not like only those with a Spirit Body can accomplish such a feat,"
Wang Tianxin explained with a smile.
"Taoist Friend Wang, what is your Wang Family’s stance? Will you continue to fight?"
"We’re not planning to continue the fight. It depends on the Bloodvine Clan and the Crystal Clan’s stance. If they want to fight, we’ll meet them in battle; if they don’t, we’ll withdraw our troops."
Wang Tianxin said. He seemed to recall something and added, "It’s been tough on all of you Taoist Friends this time. You should go back and rest for now. Once the battle is over, we will reward your merits accordingly. Changying, inform the individual who eliminated the most enemies that I will personally present them with rewards in three days."
Having acquired a Supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure this time, the Wang Family had made a significant profit and naturally needed to reward those who had contributed. This way, the next time the Wang Family issues a Conscription Order, other forces will be more eager to respond.
"Yes, Ancestor Tianxin,"
Wang Changying responded and left to carry out the order.
Wu Xuan, Liu Xin, and others departed one after another, returning to their places of rest.
At the Myriad Wood Mountain Range, Wang Family.
In a vast estate, a tall and thin man in a blue robe and a handsome young man in a golden shirt sat in a blue Stone Pavilion, enjoying tea and casual conversation.
"Aside from the Golden Blade, there’s actually a Ten Thousand Spirits Command as well. The gains this time are quite substantial, haha."
The man in the blue robe laughed heartily, holding a square, green shimmering command token in his hand.
The square token was carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, emanating tremendous Spiritual Energy, and had "Ten Thousand Spirits Command" inscribed in golden characters on the front.
Wang Yunsong, Middle Stage of Unity.
"It’s fortunate that Taoist Friend Li from Mount Taibai Sword Sect happened to be passing through the Divine Weapon Marketplace; otherwise, the treasure might have fallen into the hands of the Bloodvine Clan."
By the end of his sentence, the man in the golden shirt showed a relieved expression.
Wang Tianyang, Middle Stage of Unity, possessing the Nine Suns Body.
"Just happened? You don’t really think it’s a coincidence, do you?"
Wang Yunsong spoke with a profound undertone.
"Patriarch, if it’s not a coincidence then what is it?"
Wang Tianyang asked, puzzled.
"We have spies hidden within the Bloodvine Clan. They reported back to us that Teng Hao and four other powerful Unity Cultivators suddenly went into secluded cultivation. Not long after, the Bloodvine Clan began their aggression, which is quite suspicious. Our spy reported back immediately,"
Wang Yunsong explained.
"Unity Cultivators seclude themselves to break through to higher realms; the Bloodvine Clan can do without these four Unity Cultivators."
Wang Tianyang said, puzzled.
"Our spy passed back Teng Hao’s birth information, and Changruo took action to deduce this person’s whereabouts, finding that he was already on our Human Clan’s territory. That was no coincidence. Coupled with Bloodvine Clan Cultivators previously looking for Master Jinqiu, we bought information from Eight Directions Tower and learned that Master Jinqiu had a Supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Golden Blade, on him."
Wang Yunsong patiently explained.
"Changruo deduced the place where Master Jinqiu passed away?"
Wang Tianyang exclaimed in surprise.
"Not exactly. Based on the information provided by Eight Directions Tower, she knew the function of the Golden Blade and thus deduced its potential location. There were thirteen suspicious places, one of which was near the Divine Weapon Marketplace. After deducing Teng Hao’s route, she locked onto the Divine Weapon Marketplace. Taoist Friend Li headed to the Divine Weapon Marketplace, planning to teleport to Tianxuan City. That was the result of our clansmen’s persuasion, and you already know the rest."
Wang Yunsong explained further.
"So you’re saying that our clansmen persuaded Taoist Friend Li to support the frontline as a way to protect the insider within the Bloodvine Clan?"
Wang Tianyang had an epiphany.
"Exactly. There can’t be so many coincidences. An ordinary Unity Cultivator wouldn’t stand a chance against the four people led by Teng Hao."
Wang Yunsong elaborated.
If Teng Hao and his group were killed before reaching their destination, the Bloodvine Clan might suspect a leak and start an internal investigation.
"Does that mean, the excuses given by cousin Wang Tianxin were for the Bloodvine Clan Cultivator to hear? Do they have spies within us?"
Wang Tianyang furrowed his brows.
"With so many Human Cultivators, it’s normal to have some bad seeds. Whether or not the Bloodvine Clan’s higher-ups believe it is their problem; they don’t know about Changruo’s existence."
Wang Yunsong spoke with confidence.
Wang Changruo possessed the Profound Mystery Body, a born Diviner, and was an expert in the art of divination. The Wang Family had strictly concealed the news about her, and within the family, not many were aware that Wang Changruo possessed the Profound Mystery Body.
"Speaking of which, Changruo is really incredible, being able to deduce the whereabouts of the Golden Blade. If only she could deduce the locations of other Supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures, that would be great."
Wang Tianyang praised.
"You think it’s easy? To deduce the location of the Golden Blade, we paid a high price for information from Eight Directions Tower about its specific capabilities. One wrong piece of information, and we couldn’t deduce it. Even then, it required the aid of a seventh-tier Formation and a seventh-tier Secret Talisman Bagua Talisman. Only with these could she make the deduction, considering that Changruo is only a Unity Cultivator. If she were at the Mahayana Realm, it would not have been so difficult."
Wang Yunsong expressed his pride towards the end.
"Even so, being able to deduce the whereabouts of the Golden Blade is impressive," Wang Tianyang said.
"If we hadn’t known that Master Jinqiu had passed away and the Golden Blade was temporarily unclaimed, I wouldn’t have had her deduce its whereabouts. If this treasure were in the hands of a Mahayana Cultivator and Changruo tried to deduce its location, she would suffer a severe backlash. If the other party also understood divination, they could even take the opportunity to seriously injure Changruo."
Wang Yunsong’s face turned grave.
"There are so many restrictions for a Diviner; I thought Changruo could simply divine the locations of Supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures!"
Wang Tianyang suddenly realized.
"If that were the case, the Cultivation Realm would have long been in chaos. Alright, you’ve worked hard this time. You can go rest. Don’t reveal the content of today’s conversation to anyone."
Wang Yunsong instructed.
Wang Tianyang agreed and stood up to leave.
Wang Yunsong took out a small mirror that flickered with blue light, infused a spell into it, and the mirror surface displayed a multitude of mysterious runes, revealing a slender girl in a white dress.
The girl in the white dress looked somewhat haggard, as if she was injured.
"Changruo, are you feeling better?"
Wang Yunsong asked with concern.
To deduce the whereabouts of the Golden Blade, Wang Changruo suffered a certain backlash, as she was only a Unity Cultivator.
"I’ve taken an Elixir, and there’s no serious harm. I’ll recover after some rest. Thank you for your concern, Patriarch."
Wang Changruo said softly.
"That’s good. If you feel any discomfort, contact me immediately. I will have the best Alchemist in the clan help you with Alchemy."
Wang Yunsong reminded her.
"Understood, Patriarch."
Wang Changruo agreed.
"Good, I won’t disturb your recuperation then."
Wang Yunsong ended the connection and put away the small blue mirror.
