Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon! Chapter 322 Reasonable and Justifiable

Despite their best efforts to stop Wei Xiaoxi from entering the Divine Clan’s ancestral land, they couldn’t refute her insistence and found no excuse or reason anymore.

They traveled for most of the day.

Another ssage arrived: a large number of Divine Clan powerhouses were standing guard outside the ancestral land. It was rumored that the current Clan Leader had even brought out the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.

The crowd was shocked, and Wei Xiaoxi was even more astonished. "What exactly did you two do?"

Jin Wushuang had recovered, the entire Divine Clan had mobilized for war, and now, even the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon had appeared.

She sensed there was sothing very precarious about this situation. Was there sothing hidden?

"Ah? This?" Chen Pingping looked surprised. He coughed dryly and said, "I just snatched a Spiritual Beast and picked up a few fortuitous encounters along the way, that’s all."

"Right! That’s exactly what happened. I can vouch for Senior Brother," Guang Xiaoyu chid in again.

"What fortuitous encounters?" Wei Xiaoxi didn’t believe him.

"Spiritual dicine."

Hearing these two words, Wei Xiaoxi was utterly perplexed. A Spiritual Beast and so Spiritual dicine? Would the Divine Clan really go to such lengths for that?

Clearly, she still didn’t believe them, but she didn’t press further and continued onward.

About four hours later, another ssage arrived. A middle-aged man rushed in, saying, "The Divine Clan has laid out Saint-level Arrays, as many as three of them!"

The Spirit Realm was in turmoil. So many years had passed, yet such earth-shattering events had never before occurred in the Spirit Realm. The Purple Gold Divine Clan had poured all its resources into trying to kill Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu from the Heaven Martial Continent.

Huang Mingzhi was a bit dazed. "What on earth did those two do?"

Wei Xiaoxi asked, "Are you still not telling the truth? What Spiritual dicine?"

Chen Pingping answered hesitantly, "It’s, well, that kind of Spiritual dicine... an Emperor of dicine."

A Spiritual Beast and an Emperor of dicine? Wei Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes, fixing her gaze on Chen Pingping, the words "I don’t believe it" written all over her face.

Mo Lai sighed softly. "Brother Chen, if you keep hiding things like this, we won’t be able to help you."

"An Emperor of dicine, plus so other fortuitous encounters," Chen Pingping said with a wry smile.

"What fortuitous encounters?"

"The Spirit Pool!"

"I’ve heard a little about it." Mo Lai’s expression turned solemn. "It’s said that after the Purple Gold Divine Clan’s bloodline declined, they consistently relied on collecting the essence blood of Ferocious Beasts and Spiritual Beasts to maintain their Bloodline Power. The place where this essence blood converged was known as the Blood Pool, which is especially vital for the Divine Clan."

This explanation made Jin Wushuang’s revival, the Divine Clan mobilizing for war, and even the appearance of the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon seem sowhat reasonable.

Wei Xiaoxi asked again, "What did you do to the Spirit Pool?"

"We just... took so," Chen Pingping stamred.

"How much is ’so’?"

"’About ninety-nine percent,’ he began, ’I assure you... there’s still a little bit left in that big pit. I didn’t take every last drop.’"

In truth, he should have said, "Mao Qiu didn’t take every last drop."

Mo Lai’s face stiffened. No wonder the Divine Clan reacted so strongly! he thought. These two actually plundered the clan’s entire Spirit Pool—the very foundation of their survival!

Wei Xiaoxi stared at him intently. "Anything else?"

"Let think..." Chen Pingping’s expression was one of utter despair.

"’Alright, we’ll continue once you’ve thought it through,’ Wei Xiaoxi said with a shrug. She had already realized that these two had undoubtedly struck at the Divine Clan’s very foundation. If not, the Purple Gold Divine Clan wouldn’t have made such a grand gesture.

Chen Pingping fell silent. Nearby, Guang Xiaoyu’s eyes darted about as she racked her brain for a counterasure.

It didn’t take long for the middle-aged man to return, this ti with even more shocking news: "The Emperor Son has awakened!"

Wei Xiaoxi’s mouth fell slightly agape. Mo Lai was stunned.

Within the Purple Gold Divine Clan resided an Emperor Son, the offspring of the Divine Clan’s Great Emperor. After the Purple Gold Divine Clan suffered a great calamity, the entire clan relocated to the Spirit Realm. It was then that this Emperor Son began his long slumber. As the endless years passed, he was almost forgotten. Now, his sudden awakening had stunned the entire Spirit Realm.

"’Go back! Our deal is off!’ Wei Xiaoxi exclaid, thoroughly exasperated.

"Don’t!" Chen Pingping panicked. "We can talk things over."

Heh.

Wei Xiaoxi’s lips curled into a smile as she stared at him intently. "First, Jin Wushuang awakened. Then, the Divine Clan mobilized for war, deploying the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon and setting up three Saint-level Arrays. Now, their Emperor Son has also returned. The Purple Gold Divine Clan hasn’t caused such a massive commotion since they first relocated to the Spirit Realm."

She paused, then added, "Even when that woman stord the Divine Clan’s ancestral land years ago, slaughtering Spiritual Beasts, their Emperor Son didn’t awaken."

Guang Xiaoyu blushed deeply; that had been her handiwork.

"’So?’ Wei Xiaoxi pressed. ’Are you still not going to tell the truth?’"

"The Spirit Vein!" Chen Pingping admitted sheepishly.

"And what about it?" she asked.

"It was... suppressed."

"And then?"

"Taken away."

"..."

Wei Xiaoxi’s smile froze. Plundering the Divine Clan’s Spirit Pool was one thing, but they also took their Spirit Vein? Wait. That Spirit Vein has existed for over a hundred thousand years, deeply rooted and intricately fused with the ancestral land. Even a Saint might not be able to extract it.

Mo Lai took a deep breath and asked, "How did you suppress it?" The process must have been incredibly difficult, right? he wondered.

Chen Pingping’s eyes darted about. "With an Emperor Scripture."

"’The incomplete Emperor Scripture you obtained from the Heavenly Dragon Prince?’ Mo Lai asked, incredulous.

"’The Emperor Scripture left behind by your Spirit Palace’s Great Emperor Lingyun was within the Divine Clan’s ancestral land,’ Chen Pingping replied. ’I comprehended it.’"

"’So, you used the Emperor Scripture to suppress the Spirit Vein. Then how did you take it away?’ Wei Xiaoxi furrowed her brows. Great Emperor Lingyun’s Emperor Scripture isn’t so easily comprehended, she thought. And he used it to suppress the Spirit Vein? He really dares to say anything!"

"With Divine Sense!" Chen Pingping answered again.

A Spiritual Beast, an Emperor of dicine, the Spirit Pool, the Spirit Vein...

My word! Wei Xiaoxi thought. Even a Saint’s path to Tao Verification couldn’t possibly be this spectacular, could it? But I still feel like sothing is off. He’s just a powerhouse at the Emperor Path realm. Entering the Divine Clan’s ancestral land was already a feat, so how could he cause such a massive ruckus without alerting their higher-ups? Is that even possible?

Looking at Chen Pingping, the words "I don’t believe it" were practically written on her face.

SIGH.

Chen Pingping said helplessly, "Well, that’s how it is. Otherwise, the Divine Clan wouldn’t be reacting like this, don’t you think?"

What he said sounded plausible enough, with no apparent loopholes. After all, the things he ntioned were the very foundations of the Divine Clan’s existence!

Wei Xiaoxi took a deep breath, cald herself, and said with a light laugh, "’Alright. Since that’s the case, I’ll escort you out of here. If the Divine Clan dares to make a move, I’ll sweep them aside and ensure your safety.’"

Her smile was radiant, and she was in high spirits. It had been many years since she’d encountered anything this interesting. Besides, she truly wanted to know if Chen Pingping’s words were true. Verifying it would be simple enough: just keep going and wait for the Divine Clan to make their move.

Mo Lai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "Palace Master, please be careful!"

"’Are you scared?’ Wei Xiaoxi looked at him. ’Have you forgotten your own status? You’re just like that person!’"

"’I know!’ Mo Lai said, frustrated. ’It’s just, isn’t this matter a bit too significant?’"

"’It’s not too significant. I’ve been wanting to go to war with the Divine Clan for a long ti anyway. Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?’ she chuckled lightly.
