Chapter 46 - Illusory Glass Sword
The Yang patriarch looked disappointed when Long Chen reappeared. Perhaps Lord Wolf wasn’t going to reward Long Chen after all.
The Bai family sighed in relief. If Long Chen had followed Lord Wolf to Yuanling City and they killed the Yang family, they’d have to worry about a much-improved Long Chen returning for revenge. “The Lingwu family didn’t take him in despite his talents. You can see how high their standards are!”
The Yang patriarch had already reunited with his family. Now that he was the mayor of Baiyang Town, all the powerful people of the town congregated with him. The Bai family, on the other hand, was all alone. “Chen’er, where’s Lord Wolf?”
“He has returned to Yuanling City.”
When they heard that Lord Wolf had left, everyone congratulated the Yang patriarch once again and excused themselves.
The spectators started to leave the plaza but the Bai family approached the Yang family instead. Leading them were Bai Sheng and Bai Li, whose stern glares were fixed on the Yang patriarch and Long Chen. Their eyes were filled with fury and reluctance to surrender.
Based on their hostile demeanor, they were clearly there to cause trouble.
As the two approached, Long Chen could sense the strength of two Ninth Draconic Stage warriors.
The Bai family stopped when they were still some distance away from the Yang Residence.
Bai Sheng’s and Bai Li’s solemn gazes met the Yang patriarch’s own. He was not afraid even though they had two masters on their side.
Bai Sheng snickered. “Yang family? Mayor? In your dreams.”
The Yang patriarch couldn’t care less about engaging in conversation. But Long Chen despised the two old men and smirked, “You were just two dogs sitting on your tails with Lord Wolf around. And when he’s gone, you’re out to bite?”
The people around them burst into laughter because Long Chen’s description of their behavior was too accurate. The Bai masters’ faces darkened in response to being humiliated.
They both looked at each other. Then, Bai Li looked at Long Chen and said, “You think you’re so smart but you don’t know what true power looks like. Lord Wolf didn’t take you in; that’s just unfortunate for you. Eight days. You have only eight days left to live.”
He smirked coldly when he said “eight.”
Long Chen knew he was talking about their conflict over the Ascension Fruit. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update
However, he pretended to be confused and said, “I don’t know what the dog’s saying. I’m a human, I can’t understand dog language.”
The Yang family eyed the Illusory Glass Sword with approval. It contained powerful ripples of energy and it would definitely raise a person’s capabilities in battle!
“And the advanced Yellow tier sword technique is called the Illusory Seven Killings Sword Scripture!
The name alone told them that this was no ordinary technique. It was definitely at least as powerful as the Abyssal Heaven Fingers and Dragon Seal. If paired with the Illusory Glass Sword, the results would be terrifying!
The Yang patriarch looked at everyone and said, “I brought you all together today to decide together who would get the scripture and the Illusory Glass Sword. Naturally, anyone can cultivate the sword technique but there’s only one sword so ... I’m getting busier these days and the Dragon Seal has already taken up my entire life. I need to focus on breaking through to the Divine Core Realm so this sword will go to one of you.”
He then looked at Long Chen and said to them, “Chen’er has helped the Yang family immensely this time. I’ll give this sword to him, what do you all think?”
Everyone was amenable to Long Chen getting the sword. Yang Qingxuan and the others nodded. However, Long Chen said, “Grandfather, the Dragon Seal is enough for me. I’m not planning to take up a sword technique anyway. You can give this to someone else.”
Long Chen already had the Dragon Seal, which was at the same level as the Illusory Glass Sword. Secondly, Ling Xi was the true sword master here. With her, Long Chen had no plans to pick up the Illusory Seven Killings Sword Scripture.
What he needed were higher-level techniques. There were people who needed the sword more than him in the Yang family.
The Yang patriarch heard the determination in Long Chen’s voice and knew that if Long Chen learned the Illusory Seven Killings Sword Scripture, it might not be as powerful as the Dragon Seal anyway. So he nodded and looked at the others. Yang Qingxuan smiled bitterly, “Father, I’m the same as you. The Dragon Seal is enough. It’ll only be a distraction if I study the Illusory Seven Killings Sword Scripture.”
Yang Xueqing nodded too. Only Yang Wu and Yang Yuntian remained. After seeing his siblings express their opinions, Yang Yuntian said, “I haven’t even attained the Eighth Draconic Stage and haven’t mastered the Dragon Seal. I can’t even consider the Illusory Seven Killings Sword Scripture.”
Yang Wu said too, “I’m in a similar situation as Second Uncle. I’ll think about it again after I’ve mastered the Primordial Dragon Seal.”
Long Chen then suggested, “Only Lingyue and Lingqing haven’t learned the Dragon Seal. They’re both at the Sixth Draconic Stage as well. We can let them cultivate the Illusory Seven Killings Sword Scripture first and whoever succeeds first will get the sword. What do you think?”
The Yang family were aware that Long Chen and Lingqing were close, yet he didn’t favor Lingqing but rather let the two girls compete for the sword on their own merits. It was a fair fight.
The Yang family nodded. “Then it is decided. As for the spirit jades and divine jades, I will keep them and distribute them according to merit. Chen’er has helped us greatly so I’ll give him one divine jade first.”
There were naturally no objections.
Long Chen had never seen a divine jade before. He didn’t object and took it from the patriarch’s palm. A potent wave of earthly Qi rushed over him. He took a gentle inhale and felt energized.
The patriarch smiled and turned to everyone. “Now that we have become the rulers of the town, I need Qingxuan and Yuntian to stay behind to help me deal with the paraphernalia. Everyone else can leave.”
Yang Xueqing and Yang Wu nodded, about to leave when Long Chen said suddenly, “Wait.”
Everyone looked at him, puzzled. He took a deep breath and asked, “Grandfather, do you know of the Ascension Fruit?”
When he heard the name, the Yang patriarch trembled and asked with great emotion, “You know of one?”
