Chapter 220: Chapter 217 Ye Zhen’s Ruthless Strategy

"Dream on!"

Faced with the unrealistic demands of the Phantom Divine Sect, Guo Qijing’s response was decisively just two words!

Hand over Ye Zhen for them to deal with?

And also hand over the War Soul Blood Flag?

Unless every single member of the Qiyun Sect had their heads slammed by the door, they would never agree to such demands.

The cohesion and unity of a sect are the most important aspects of a sect, apart from the transmission of cultivation techniques.

Once the Qiyun Sect agreed to the demands of the Phantom Divine Sect, their destruction would not be far off.

Hearing Guo Qijing’s reply, a cruel smile emerged on the corner of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King’s mouth. With a single wave of his palm, a beam of black light flashed like lightning towards the five disciples captured in mid-air.

"If not, then let them die!"

"No!"

Guo Qijing roared in anger. With a movement, he attempted to attack the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, but in that instant, an astonishing sword light suddenly appeared from the void.

The sword light slowly rotated, resembling thousands of sharp swords arranged in a fan shape, poised and not yet unleashed, pointing menacingly at everyone.

At the same moment, everyone outside the Mountain Gate of the Qiyun Sect felt an extreme sense of danger.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword of the Phantom Divine Sect.

Real and illusory, true and false, it could launch a full-strength attack on any individual present at any time, making it impossible to guard against.

Once the Phantom Divine Sect’s Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword was deployed, Guo Qijing instantly stiffened, his hand shook the small bell, floating up half a foot, ready to deal with the attack of the Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword.

A deep look of helplessness appeared on Guo Qijing’s face, his eyes, however, blazed with fury!

There was no way around it; only his Three Treasures Golden Bell could withstand the Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword of the Phantom Divine Sect, which could completely restrain him.

Whoosh!

The black light slashing towards the five captured disciples abruptly stopped just as it reached the head of Luv Xin, allowing the elders of the Qiyun Sect to breathe a sigh of relief.

The two Inner Sect Disciples were one matter, but if Luv Xin and Mei Yuanju, those two True Disciples, along with Han Shi, the Quasi True Inheritor, were killed, Qiyun Sect would indeed suffer a great blow.

Han Shi was a High Grade talent of the Five Veins. According to the Sect Elders, if he endured another year or two of bitter cultivation, the chances of successfully forming a Spiritual Power Seed were as high as eighty percent!

"Sect Master Guo, it seems you do care about these disciples, don’t you!"

"I’ll give you one more chance, hand over the murderer Ye Zhen for us to deal with, and the War Soul Blood Flag as compensation for your crimes, and today’s matter will be over!"

"These five people, I will release them right here and now. Moreover, if you hand over the War Soul Blood Flag, I will even send you the heads of three Sect Elders from the Sword Origin Sect as a return gift. How about that?"

"Of course, you can choose to refuse. However, if you do so, the people of Qiyun Sect should be careful when walking outside! It might not take a few days before we have slaughtered all the disciples of the Qiyun Sect!" sneered the Thousand Illusion Eagle King darkly.

"Eagle King Heu, do you think I’m easily frightened? Driven to desperation, I too can play the game of mutual destruction," Guo Qijing angrily said.

"Haha, of course, how could you, Sect Master Guo, be easily frightened? We certainly wouldn’t dare to face mutual destruction with you! We would only mysteriously appear around Qiyun Sect, trapping you all within it!"

"However, I’m guessing that the Sect Leader Yu Ruhai from the Sword Origin Sect, upon hearing this news, would be overjoyed, wouldn’t he?"

"Shameless!"

"Despicable!"

Guo Qijing and the elders of the Qiyun Sect shouted in anger, but their faces were also filled with worry.

If the Phantom Divine Sect really did this, their Black Water Kingdom would really be doomed!

Behind them, Ye Zhen, who was deep in thought about a way out, suddenly opened his eyes in anger.

He had to save himself now.

Ye Zhen didn’t know if Guo Qijing’s resolve would waver under the threat of national extinction.

But Ye Zhen was well aware that if things continued this way, even if he barely managed to survive this crisis, living under the domination of the Phantom Divine Sect would be extremely difficult.

"As the saying goes, a cornered dog will leap over a wall. Since you Phantom Divine Sect want to help the Sword Origin Sect annihilate our Black Water Kingdom, I believe the Sect Leader Gu Yanchuan from the Gu Xuan Sect would also be very welcoming of the War Soul Blood Flag, right?"

As he spoke, Ye Zhen took a step forward, his gaze turning towards Liao Feibai.

"Instructor Liao, since the Phantom Divine Sect is so shameless, why don’t you just hand the War Soul Blood Flag over to Sect Leader Gu Yanchuan of the Gu Xuan Sect? I believe Gu Xuan Sect can really bring out the potential of the War Soul Blood Flag!"

As soon as Ye Zhen spoke, Liao Feibai’s tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, quickly understanding his intent.

"Good, well said, let’s do just that!"

"I won’t just bring the War Soul Blood Flag to Gu Xuan Sect, but I will also join them, slaughtering the disciples of the Phantom Divine Sect day and night. The nickname ’Demon-faced Rakshasa’ might even be upgraded to ’God-slaying Rakshasa!

Slaughtering the disciples of the Phantom Divine Sect! Hahahaha...."

Liao Feibai’s laughter made the faces of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, Bu Ziqi, and Lei Yuankui change at the same time, and even Bu Changtian, famed as the top expert of the younger generation, couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

If this madwoman truly went on a rampage like that, then the consequences...

However, Bu Changtian still underestimated the power of Liao Feibai’s fury.

The name ’Demon-faced Rakshasa’ might not have been well-known among the younger generation, but among the elders of various countries, it was the name of a monstrous presence.

If it really came to that, then the Phantom Divine Sect would be in big trouble!

"Hmph, nice talk, but you still need to get the War Soul Blood Flag to Gu’an Kingdom first!"

At that moment, Sect Leader Guo Qijing also came to his senses; when one is barefoot, they are not afraid of one wearing shoes. Considering the wealth, the Phantom Divine Sect had far more to lose than they did.

"What if I used the Three Treasures Golden Bell for protection?"

Guo Qijing spoke shockingly again, causing the expressions of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, Bu Ziqi, and Lei Yuankui to change once more.

"All Sect Elders obey! Once the situation becomes untenable, all of you, along with the True Disciples, must protect the War Soul Blood Flag and move into the Gu Xuan Sect of Gu’an Kingdom for the revenge and restitution of our Black Water Kingdom!

Our Black Water Kingdom may be destroyed, but so too shall the Phantom Divine Empire suffer hardships!"

With a few shouted words, Sect Master Guo Qijing suddenly let out a long, angry howl, the pent-up frustrations in his chest erupting like a tsunami.

"We strictly adhere to the Sect Leader’s imperial edict!"

The Sect Elders responded in unison, their rallying cries reverberating, each of them whistling loudly, their whistles as sharp as metal, filled with boundless fury.

In the ensuing wave of howls, the expressions of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, Bu Ziqi, and Lei Yuankui changed drastically at the same time.

If the Qiyun Sect truly took this action, it would spell big trouble for their Phantom Divine Empire.

With the Qiyun Sect’s support, the Gu Xuan Sect could immediately contend with them on equal ground, and with the help of the War Soul Blood Flag, sweeping through the Phantom Divine Empire might even be possible.

However, at this moment, they could not afford to lose face, and the likes of Thousand Illusion Eagle King were less likely to soften their stance!

Narrowing his gaze, the voice of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, as sharp as an owl, rang out, "Mobilizing the entire sect? Who are you trying to scare?

Even if your entire sect mobilizes, plus the 20% boost in combat power from the War Soul Blood Flag, it would only enable the Gu Xuan Sect to barely contend with our Phantom Divine Sect!

How much trouble can you really cause the Phantom Divine Empire?

It is just a minor irritation, but the Black Water Kingdom will definitely be wiped out completely by the Sword Origin Empire!"

At this point, the eyes of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King fiercely fixed on Ye Zhen, "You little brat, daring to propose such a ruthless and reckless strategy, do you believe I can destroy you right now?"

Faced with the threat from the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, Ye Zhen remained calm and fearless.

"Your petty beast just got destroyed by me, should I be afraid of you, an old beast without shame?"

Ye Zhen was utterly defiant; they were after his life anyway, so there was no need to respect them.

His disciples’ lives were valuable; his life was cheap!

He had seen those who were shameless, but never an old man quite as shameless as this one!

"You little beast, seeking death!"

The Thousand Illusion Eagle King roared furiously, his expression suddenly shocked, "You...you are Ye Zhen?"

"So, it was you who killed my disciple Luo Jingtian?"

"Of course, and look, the Six-Fingered Eagle Gloves that belonged to your little ’eaglet’ are in my hands too," Ye Zhen sneered coldly.

Ye Zhen figured that since they had come to his door by name, they must have found evidence; there was no use denying it.

Moreover, the Phantom Divine Sect was all about brute force politics now!

It didn’t matter whether he did it or not, if there was suspicion, he had to accompany their disciples in death.

Instead of going through denials, better to admit it cleanly, at least that would disgust this old man!

Seeing Ye Zhen produce the distinctive Six-Fingered Eagle Gloves of Luo Jingtian, the Six-Fingered Eagle Demon, the expressions of everyone from the Qiyun Sect and the Phantom Divine Sect changed drastically.

Especially Bu Changtian, disbelief evident in his eyes.

He knew the capabilities of Luo Jingtian.

To put it modestly, even compared to Bu Changtian at the same stage, he was no less inferior, yet he was killed by Ye Zhen, an unknown youngster?

"Seeking death!"

The old man’s face flushed red instantly, and with a single illusionary movement, a giant eagle claw swooped towards Ye Zhen, aiming to kill him on the spot.

Yet, Ye Zhen remained completely composed, showing no intention of responding.

Sure enough, amidst the angry shouts of the Qiyun Sect Elders, Sect Leader Guo Qijing, the Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, including Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing and Liao Feibai, all acted at once.

A Rainbow Ribbon also flew from behind Ye Zhen, facing the eagle claw coming straight towards Ye Zhen!

The outcome needs no further explanation, as Ye Zhen still stood there smiling cheerfully.

However, Ye Zhen had no intention of letting the people from the Phantom Divine Sect off easily!

"Oh, right, there is one thing about the War Soul Blood Flag that I must inform you of."

At the mention of the ’War Soul Blood Flag,’ everyone’s attention sharpened, including the Thousand Illusion Eagle King who, despite his desire to devour Ye Zhen, had to suppress his rage and listen carefully to what Ye Zhen had to say.

"Eagle King Heu, Elder Bu, do you think that we in the Black Water Kingdom, having just obtained the War Soul Blood Flag, are unaware of its secrets, right?

The War Soul Blood Flag merely boosting combat power by 20% is outdated information!

Third Level, 60%!

The War Soul Blood Flag has been upgraded to the Third Level and can now boost combat power by 60%!"

Having said that, Ye Zhen insolently bowed slightly, "I wonder, under the War Soul Blood Flag’s 60% increase in combat power, whether you all can leave alive today?

With the Gu Xuan Sect and Qiyun Sect Elders under the 60% increase of the War Soul Blood Flag, can your Phantom Divine Empire hold up?"

"What? Third Level? 60%? Impossible?"

Upon hearing this, everyone from the Phantom Divine Sect’s expressions turned ghastly pale!

Even the Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword, floating in the void, trembled uncontrollably at Ye Zhen’s words!
