1446: Chapter 1436: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand (1)_1 1446: Chapter 1436: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand (1)_1 “Oh, you two are truly impolite.

You want the Purple Thunder Profound Vine, right?

If you’re confident, I can hand over the Purple Thunder Profound Vine.”

Long Yan raised his eyebrow, looking somewhat amused.

Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia looked at Ling Zhan and Ling Tian with disdain.

They were already at this point and still aiming for the Purple Thunder Profound Vine.

Were they out of their minds?

“Long Yan, we brothers paid such a huge price.

We can’t just walk away empty-handed, can we?”

Ling Zhan said in a deep voice.

They almost died here.

Yet, all the benefits were swallowed by Long Yan alone.

This was hard to accept, no matter how they thought about it.

“Humph, if it wasn’t for Long Yan saving you, you would’ve been killed by the Demon Tree a long time ago.

Do you still think you have a chance to ask for the Purple Thunder Profound Vine?”

Yan Xiao snorted lightly and said, “To be frank, even if we killed you, no one would say anything.

Don’t be shameless.”

If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have saved Ling Zhan and Ling Tian, which would’ve avoided all these troubles.

Having gotten a second chance at life, Ling Zhan and Ling Tian should be content.

“Do you think we brothers are afraid of death?”

Ling Tian’s gaze suddenly turned cold, and his expression became fierce.

The brothers have managed to get to where they are today not by being timid.

Even when faced with various forces, the two brothers never showed real fear.

“So what are you planning to do?”

Long Yan asked curiously.

“Fair share for all witnesses.

We don’t have to take the Purple Thunder Profound Vine, but you have to compensate us brothers with something.

Otherwise, we won’t let this matter rest.”

Ling Tian chuckled and said in a threatening tone, “Many people will like a treasure like the Purple Thunder Profound Vine.

If we let the news out that you’re carrying the Purple Thunder Profound Vine, I doubt you’ll be able to keep it.”

The Purple Thunder Profound Vine is far more valuable than any artifact, and if the news gets out, many people would Surely attempt to seize it by force.

“Despicable!”

Nalan Feng’s anger flared up immediately, and he said to Long Yan,” Long Yan, why are you still wasting time talking to them?

If you don’t want to do it, let me deal with them.

It will save us a lot of trouble.”

Threatening Long Yan in such a situation is simply suicidal.

Long Yan waved his hand to stop Nalan Feng.

A smirk spread across his face.

To Ling Zhan and Ling Tian he said,”Have you forgotten that the Order of the Holy Fire is still in my possession?

Not long ago, almost everyone on the Sealed Gods Ancient Road was chasing me to kill me, but I’m still standing here unscathed.

You think I’d be afraid of people knowing that I have the Purple Thunder Profound Vine?

The Order of the Holy Fire is no less valuable than the Purple Thunder Profound Vine.

If he could keep the Order of the Holy Fire, he could keep the Purple Thunder Profound Vine.

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhan and Ling Tian were taken aback.

They had not really considered this and it seemed their threat to Long Yan was futile.

“But you did remind me of something.

Good luck to you.

Let’s go.”

A trace of mockery flashed in Long Yan’s eyes, unnoticed.

Then, he left with Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia.

After the Purple Thunder Profound Vine was taken by Long Yan, the seal on this space was lifted, and the entire space would collapse soon.

“Big Brother, are we just going to let Long Yan go?”

Watching Long Yan and the others walk away, Ling Tian was seething.

“First, we need to recover from our injuries, then we’ll deal with Long Yan.”

Ling Zhan spoke in a deep tone.

“Should we release the news about the Purple Thunder Profound Vine?”

Ling Tian was unwilling to let Long Yan off easily.

“No need.”

Ling Zhan obviously had his own considerations.

Long Yan had managed to keep the Order of the Holy Fire, proving his resourcefulness.

Even if they released the news about the Purple Thunder Profound Vine, they wouldn’t be able to burn Long Yan in the fire.

More importantly, Ling Zhan wanted to retrieve the Purple Thunder Profound Vine, so he naturally couldn’t let others know about it.

Once they recovered from their injuries, they would be more than capable of dealing with Long Yan.

“We need to leave.

This place is about to collapse.”

Soon after, Ling Zhan and Ling Tian also left the Sealed Space.

……….

Long Yan, Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia flew towards the edge of the Ancient Forest after coming out of the Sealed Space.

“Long Yan, why didn’t you kill those two bastards?”

Yan Xiao suddenly asked during the journey.

Long Yan was not a soft-hearted person.

Letting the War Heaven Double Emperors go indeed came as a surprise.

“I don’t hold any major grievances with them.

The fight for the Purple Thunder Profound Vine was a matter of every man for himself.

Whether I kill them or not doesn’t matter.

By sparing them, I lessen the bloodshed on my hands.”

Long Yan made up an excuse on the spot.

In truth, there were two actual reasons: Firstly, the War Heaven Double Emperors were two geniuses.

Perhaps because they were geniuses themselves, they were empathetic.

Secondly, during the fight with the Demon Tree, Ling Zhan risked his life to protect Ling Tian.

This showed that the two brothers valued their familial bond.

Among cultivators, especially those that have achieved such high statuses, there weren’t many who could still emphasize their familial bond so much.

In simpler terms, while the War Heaven Double Emperors might have been slightly hateful, they also had qualities worthy of admiration.

“This time, you didn’t kill them.

I bet next time they meet you, they won’t be grateful.

They might even make a move on you.”

Yan Xiao said.

“I won’t give them a chance to take revenge on me.”

Long Yan smiled and then said to Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia, “You three, how about doing me a favor?”

“As long as we can do it, no problem.”

Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia all pounded their chests in agreement.

Especially Yan Xiao, who owed Long Yan a life debt – he wouldn’t hesitate to go through hell and high water for him.

“Don’t worry, this is a simple task for you.”

As he said this, a smirk crept onto Long Yan’s face.

He then said, “What you need to do is spread the news of the Purple Thunder Profound Vine.”

“This…..”

Hearing this, Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia were stunned, looking at Long Yan peculiarly.

Suddenly thinking of something, Nalan Feng quickly said, “Long Yan, you mean, we should spread false news that the Purple Thunder Profound Vine is on the War Heaven Double Emperors?”

“Correct, this is what they reminded me of.

It’s called striking first to gain the advantage.”

Long Yan nodded slightly.

He wouldn’t be stupid enough to cause trouble for himself.

But if he used this trick on the War Heaven Double Emperors, it would certainly cause them a lot of trouble.

He let the War Heaven Double Emperors go, and they actually threatened him.

Naturally, he wouldn’t let them live a comfortable life.

Using others to deal with the War Heaven Double Emperors was the most appropriate.

Perhaps the War Heaven Double Emperors never imagined Long Yan would plot against them again.

If they knew, they would surely cough up a few mouthfuls of old blood in anger.
