Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 489
Chapter 489: Chapter 489 We Are from the True Dragon Divine Sect
Deng Chuan, upon hearing that Long Qingxuan had known the young man in front of her since childhood, as childhood sweethearts no less, was even more displeased. He glared at Yang Xiaotian, “Kid, which sect are you from?”
Yang Xiaotian, seeing the interrogative tone of the other party, replied after glancing at him, “Which sect I belong to does not seem necessary to tell you.”
Deng Chuan’s face darkened.
Immediately, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
At this moment, Yang Ling’er spoke to Long Qingxuan, “Sister Qingxuan, why have you come to the Soul Beast Forest? Are you also here to absorb Soul Rings?”
Long Qingxuan nodded and smiled, “Yes, I am here to hunt Soul Beasts and absorb Soul Rings.”
Yang Xiaotian looked at the group of senior brothers and sisters beside Long Qingxuan and frowned slightly. Generally speaking, for a direct disciple of a sect like Long Qingxuan, when hunting Soul Beasts and absorbing Soul Rings, it was common for the higher-ups of the sect to accompany them to hunt.
Why then had she come with some weaker disciples?
These weaker disciples, even if they joined forces, wouldn’t be able to hunt a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
Let alone tackle a twenty-thousand-year one.
Long Qingxuan, having the Supreme Martial Spirit, could fully bear a ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring.
“That’s great, I am also here to hunt Soul Beasts and absorb Soul Rings,” Yang Ling’er said with a happy smile, “then we can hunt Soul Beasts together later on.”
Long Qingxuan nodded with a smile, “Sure.”
“Didn’t your master come with you?” Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help asking Long Qingxuan.
Before Long Qingxuan could speak, Deng Chuan said, “The Sect Master has many affairs to manage. For such a trivial matter, why would the Sect Master need to act personally? If our Hundred Flowers Divine Sect required the Sect Master to personally take action for every disciple absorbing a Soul Ring, then wouldn’t our Sect Master stop cultivating? She would just accompany sect disciples in Soul Beast hunting.”
Long Qingxuan also explained to Yang Xiaotian, “Junior Brother Deng is correct, my master is busy with other matters, it is fine for us to come and hunt Soul Beasts.”
Hearing Long Qingxuan’s explanation, Yang Xiaotian’s expression turned solemn.
Long Qingxuan was clearly not speaking from the heart.
Even if the Hundred Flowers Sword Goddess was truly busy, she could have let some of the sect’s elders accompany Long Qingxuan right?
Not only was Long Qingxuan a direct disciple of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect’s Sect Master, she also possessed the Supreme Martial Spirit, and yet she was accompanied by a handful of senior brothers and sisters on a Soul Beast hunting trip, which was quite unreasonable.
Not just unreasonable, but it was a bit too much!
Yang Ling’er pulled Long Qingxuan to sit down, smiling, “Sister Qingxuan, sit down. This is the roasted meat my brother cooked, it’s really delicious.”
Looking at the golden roasted meat over the campfire, Long Qingxuan also smiled knowingly, remembering when she first met Yang Xiaotian in the Red Moon Forest, how she was extremely hungry back then, and Yang Xiaotian gave her roasted meat.
Years had passed, and she had always remembered that roasted meat.
Yang Ling’er tore off a large leg of the beast and gave it to Long Qingxuan.
Long Qingxuan took a bite, it was still the same flavor as before.
Deng Chuan, looking at the fragrant roasted meat, did not ask Yang Xiaotian and reached out to tear off another large leg. However, as his hand nearly reached it, it was blocked by a tree branch in Yang Xiaotian’s hand.
“You have hands and feet. If you want to eat, go roast it yourself,” Yang Xiaotian said.
Deng Chuan couldn’t help but get angry, “Kid, don’t think that just because you’re a friend of Long Junior Sister, I wouldn’t dare to touch you!”
The Dark Dragon and Demon Ape immediately looked on coldly with their eyes.
Yang Xiaotian glanced at Deng Chuan, his face composed, “I would advise you not to make a move, otherwise, you will end up in a very sorry state.”
Deng Chuan glared furiously, and the other male disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect also looked at Yang Xiaotian with hostility.
“You!” Deng Chuan exclaimed in anger.
“Junior Brother Deng, don’t cause trouble!” At this moment, a female disciple of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect spoke up, “What they said is not wrong. We have hands and feet, if we want to eat, we should do it ourselves.”
Deng Chuan seemed to be very wary of the female disciple from the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, and upon hearing her, he dared not say anything more.
Thus, the dozen or so people from the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect built a bonfire next to them, hunted a Soul Beast, and started roasting it.
However, no matter how they cooked it, it didn’t smell as delicious as Yang Xiaotian’s.
Yang Xiaotian didn’t pay attention to the people from the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, and asked Long Qingxuan, “What about Uncle and the rest? Why didn’t they accompany you here?”
Normally, for such an extremely important matter as Long Qingxuan hunting Soul Beasts and absorbing Soul Rings, Long Jiyi and Long Lan would certainly have accompanied her if they knew.
Long Qingxuan shook her head, “Recently, the Undying Wraiths and Yin Ghosts have been causing trouble in the Divine Dragon Empire, and my father and the others need to be present in the Imperial Capital. I didn’t want them to be distracted by my affairs.”
Therefore, Long Qingxuan did not inform Long Jiyi and Long Lan.
Yang Ling’er smiled and said, “Then it’s alright, with Brother and Senior Long, as well as Senior Yuan, they are here.” She then introduced the Demon Ape and Dark Dragon to Long Qingxuan, “This is Senior Long, and this is Senior Yuan.”
“Qingxuan Sister, just let Brother and Senior Long help you hunt whatever ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts you want to merge with.”
Long Qingxuan respectfully greeted the Dark Dragon and Demon Ape, “It’s an honor to meet Senior Long and Senior Yuan.”
The Dark Dragon and Demon Ape quickly stood up, waving their hands and saying there was no need for formalities, as they both could tell that Long Qingxuan’s relationship with their young master was extraordinary.
Upon hearing this, Deng Chuan sneered, “Want to merge with whatever ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts, just let Brother and Senior Long hunt? You make it sound as if they can hunt down ninety-thousand-year or even hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts.”
The Demon Ape’s expression darkened, “Say one more word, and I’ll smash your mouth!”
Deng Chuan angrily stood up.
However, the female disciple from earlier stopped Deng Chuan.
After stopping Deng Chuan, the female disciple couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the Dark Dragon and Demon Ape.
Although she was only at the Emperor Realm, she could sense that the two individuals were very strong.
Long Qingxuan introduced Yang Xiaotian, explaining that the female disciple was the chief disciple of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, named Du Mei, which explained why Deng Chuan was so wary of her.
Du Mei cupped her fists towards Yang Xiaotian and asked, “Little Brother, I understand you and Junior Sister Qingxuan have known each other since childhood. May I know from which sect of the Divine Dragon Empire you are a disciple?”
Yang Xiaotian replied while cupping his fists, “My sister and I are both from the True Dragon Divine Sect.”
Although he was now a disciple of the Azure God Mansion, he indeed came from the True Dragon Divine Sect.
Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian was from the True Dragon Divine Sect, Deng Chuan scoffed to himself.
The True Dragon Divine Sect might be the first Supreme Sect of the Divine Dragon Empire, but to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, a colossal entity of the Azure God Continent, it wasn’t much to consider.
“So Little Brother is a disciple from the True Dragon Divine Sect.” Du Mei nodded with a smile, seemingly unimpressed.
Yang Ling’er chatted with Long Qingxuan until late into the night.
As the night deepened, Yang Xiaotian sat in meditation to the side.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, everyone continued their journey, flying deeper into the Soul Beast Forest.
When Du Mei saw that Yang Xiaotian could fly, she was surprised. Yang Xiaotian’s ability to fly indicated that he was at least at the realm of Martial Emperor. Yang Xiaotian and Long Qingxuan appeared to be the same age, and reaching the Martial Emperor Realm by the age of fifteen, even by the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect’s standards, signified incredibly high talent.
And there was his younger sister, even younger, who had also cultivated to the Martial Emperor Realm!
Could the talents of these siblings really be so extraordinary?
While everyone continued to fly forward, suddenly, a tiger’s roar echoed, and a giant black tiger emerged from a distance, its powerful presence changing the complexions of all the disciples from the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect.
This Black Tiger Soul Beast had such a strong aura, it was definitely a two ten-thousand-year-plus Soul Beast!
