Chapter 1838 - Chapter 1838 Chapter 804 The Lord of Taichu Wenrens

Chapter 1838: Chapter 804: The Lord of Taichu, Wenren’s Approaching Demise (Thanks to the great Guo Jiuxing’s Silver Alliance, plus 10 extra)_2 Chapter 1838: Chapter 804: The Lord of Taichu, Wenren’s Approaching Demise (Thanks to the great Guo Jiuxing’s Silver Alliance, plus 10 extra)_2 As for those below the upper echelons, they are governed by Taichu Hall and consist of numerous Infinite Peak Cultivators from within and outside the clan, including even lower-level Divine Clan Practitioners.

Han Yi momentarily set aside his thoughts about the Great Elder and the ruling tier of Taichu, shifting his attention to the last words uttered by Dongfang He. Stirred inside, he inquired, “Something of interest to me? Elder He, what matter is this?”

A hint of murderous intent briefly flickered in Dongfang He’s eyes as he revealed, “The incident you encountered with the Divine Nest in Nangong Clan Territory, I have thoroughly investigated to find out who was behind it.”

Upon hearing this, Han Yi was intensely moved.

After departing from Taichu Divine Land, he hardly had time to stabilize his cultivation and prepare for his ascension to Godly Venerable before he faced the assassination attempt by a Mysterious Divine Sovereign.

Had it not been for his formidable personal strength, he would have certainly perished in that Divine Sovereign-led assassination.

For such a life-and-death enmity, only slaughter could resolve the cause and effect.

Before Han Yi could ask further, Dongfang He continued, “You should remember the Wenren Clan, right?”

Upon hearing this, Han Yi was moved again. He was not unfamiliar with the Wenren Clan, his cultivation journey being too brief, not yet twenty thousand years, with nearly all encounters deeply engraved in his heart.

Moreover, on Ancestral God Star, there were very few Divine Clans or powers he had interacted with.

The first time he came to Ancestral God Star, the considerable grievance with the Wenren Clan was something he couldn’t forget even if he wanted to.

Dongfang He continued.

“I have looked into the records. Over ten thousand years ago, Nangong and Wenren had a dispute. To a Divine Sovereign, it naturally seemed trivial, but for these two clans, it was a monumental event. In that major incident, your role was not negligible.”

“This time the Divine Nest acted upon the hire of Wenren Clan, with an obvious intent after hearing that you entered Taichu Divine Land, fearing your overwhelming strength and potential to ascend as a Divine Sovereign, and sought to kill you.”

“However, they certainly never expected that you could ascend to Divine Sovereign in such a brief period. The news of your ascension has only just spread. When you strike, the Wenren Clan might not even be aware yet.”

“Hmph, internal strife within the clan is a disaster that could lead to its extinction. I originally intended to intervene, but considering this is your personal vendetta, it would be better for your Taoist Heart if you handle it yourself.”

At this point, murder filled Dongfang He’s eyes.

He was an Elder of Taichu and came from his clan, dedicating his life to the protection of Taichu as his mission. The Wenren Clan hiring external dark forces to harm clans within Taichu’s jurisdiction undermined Taichu’s rule; naturally, he deeply detested this.

Furthermore, Han Yi, with his extraordinary divine talents, nearly perished due to Wenren Clan’s scheme, which would equate to Taichu Divine Race losing a Godly Venerable with limitless future potential.

Thus, Wenren Clan’s crime was even more horrendous, truly deserving death.

Adjacent to Dongfang He, Han Yi, whose murderous intent leaked slightly before completely withdrawing it, his expression grave as an abyss, stated, “The grudge is indeed mine to settle, no need to trouble Elder He.”

Feeling the terrifying murderous intent from Han Yi, Dongfang He thought inwardly, “This one is truly a God of Killing.”

Although Dongfang He had sparred with Han Yi, it was only a contest of Divine Body and Divine Force, not a fight to the death, which wasn’t his full strength, nor was it Han Yi’s full strength.

While he hadn’t personally witnessed the battle between Han Yi and Ni Han Venerable from the Divine Nest, he could discern from the aura captured at the scene that Han Yi’s murderous intent was not inferior to Ni Han Venerable’s during that divine battle.

It’s known that Han Yi was only at Peak Infinite back then. Now that he has ascended to Divine Sovereign, if a divine battle were to occur again, any ordinary Initial-stage Divine Sovereign would undoubtedly be annihilated by him.

The murderous intent concealed, Han Yi suddenly remembered something and asked,

“Elder He, do you have any information about that Divine Nest?”

Dongfang He nodded, “Certainly, we do possess information. However, the data reveals that the Ni Han Venerable, who battled with you, left Ancestral God Star immediately and fled to Chaos Divine City.”

“In Chaos Divine City, there was another Divine Sovereign from the Divine Nest to meet him, probably already having escaped into the Chaos, whereabouts unknown within the Ancestral God Domain.”

“If you need it, I can transfer the information I’ve gathered to you.”

Han Yi bowed and said, “Then I thank Elder He.”

Finally, he added, “I am deeply grateful for Elder He’s assistance during this period. I will never forget it, and please do not hesitate to command me in the future.”

Dongfang He’s stern face showed a trace of a smile.

“As Elders of Taichu, it is natural for us to support and watch over each other.”

Moments later, Dongfang He, accompanied by Han Yi, returned to the Taichu Hall. Although this was Han Yi’s second visit to the Taichu Hall and only a few decades had passed, his status had changed from a member of the hall to an Elder of Taichu, a significant step up.

Here, he met Nangong Hao, who was waiting for him. Next to Nangong Hao, there were more than a dozen hall members, who all bowed respectfully when Han Yi looked their way.

Han Yi nodded, then said to Nangong Hao, “Clan Leader, please wait a moment for me, I will return to the clan territory with you shortly.”

Then, he followed Dongfang He towards the innermost depths of the Taichu Hall.

For a newly-promoted Elder, the Taichu Divine Race would issue quite a few valuable items. Although these items were somewhat unnecessary for enhancing Han Yi’s combat power, as they contained no Ancient Artifacts, having them was still better than none. If he couldn’t use them, they could benefit the Nangong Clan.

Since he was identified with the Nangong Clan, it was natural for him to consider the clan’s interests.

As soon as Han Yi left, the numerous Infinite Peak Cultivators around Nangong Hao gasped in shock, staring at Nangong Hao incredulously.

They speculated that this newly appointed Divine Sovereign might be a familiar Daoist friend of Nangong Hao, but they had never imagined he was a member of the Nangong Clan.

The way he addressed “Clan Leader” so earnestly also showed that this new Divine Sovereign’s recognition of the Nangong Clan and Nangong Hao hadn’t changed despite his change in status.

Once they recovered from their shock, the Infinite Peak Cultivators glared at Nangong Hao with grudging admiration.

“Nangong, when did such an exceptional figure emerge from your clan? You’ve kept him well hidden indeed.”

“Keeping a low profile, truly keeping a low profile, I never realized you were so good at hiding.”

“Nangong, quickly tell us, which generation of your clan’s prodigies does he belong to? How come he has never appeared before in the many rankings and competitions of the younger generation? It’s truly unbelievable how he kept his patience.”

“Nangong, you are aiming for the skies now, don’t forget about me, old brother. We’ve braved several secret realms together in the past, our relationship isn’t shallow; remember to call me when there are benefits.”

“…”

The dozen or so Infinite Peaks nearby, whether a Clan Leader or a highly esteemed Supreme Elder of another Divine Clan, had expressions of envy that were hardly concealed – they almost wished they could replace Nangong.

Holding back his excitement, Nangong Hao saluted the surrounding cultivators, “Fellow Daoists, Han Yi is indeed a practitioner of the Nangong Clan. From now on, you may address him as Elder Yi, or… Elder Nangong Yi.”

His statement directly confirmed to everyone that the newly advanced Divine Sovereign was named Nangong Yi, solidifying the fact that he came from the Nangong Clan.

Seeing Nangong Hao’s admission, the thoughts of the surrounding cultivators became even more active.

Many clans are affiliated with the Taichu Divine Race, but most of them actually have no connections strong enough to link them to the Taichu Elder Council, such as the original Nangong Clan.

Although Nangong Hao had some relationship with an Elder of Taichu, that relationship was not robust and was almost a one-off, expiring after causing a disturbance at the Wenren Clan back in the day.

Only the strong clans with several Infinite Peak Cultivators and abundant resources can find elders willing to truly protect their clans. This protection means a more solid relationship between the Elder of Taichu and the affiliated clan, committing the Elder to intervene if the clan faces trouble.

But once protection is granted, the affiliated clan needs to supply a significant amount of cultivation resources to the Elder of Taichu.

In simple terms, it’s a relationship of protection and being protected; the protected party provides resources, ensuring the protector’s support.

With a general clan like the original Nangong Clan, powerless to meet the resource demands of an Elder of Taichu, they also lack the strength to seek such protection.

Now with Nangong Yi’s new status as an Elder, he himself has no protected clans under him, making it a good opportunity to forge a connection with Nangong Hao and seek Nangong Yi’s protection – a not unlikely possibility.

As the head of the clan, Nangong Hao also discerned this from the words of the cultivators surrounding him. He did not immediately agree, but he took their requests to heart, planning to consult Han Yi when he returned.

These resources might not be essential for Han Yi, but for the Nangong Clan, they could tremendously enhance the clan’s overall strength; naturally, he was intent on using them wisely.
