219: The treacherous Heavenly Sword Sect Master

As Yang Lingchen's rank on the divine martial ranking climbed higher and higher, he shone like a brilliant star.

His name, like a high-rising blazing sun, attracted the close attention of countless people.

“Brother Wang, who should we challenge next?”

Yang Lingchen spoke, his tone carrying a hint of expectation and eagerness to try.

“The closest member of the divine martial ranking to us is Chen Zixuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, this person's strength is extremely terrifying, and he is ruthless. Almost no one who challenges him survives. Also, his rank is very high, nineteenth within the Tianluo Domain,” Wang Chen said, his expression extremely solemn.

“Let's go!” A cold sneer curled at the corner of Yang Lingchen's mouth.

“Go where?” Wang Chen asked, his Face full of confusion.

“The Heavenly Sword Sect!” A thick killing intent flashed through Yang Lingchen's eyes.

As for Chen Zixuan, Yang Lingchen had long ago put him on his must-kill list. If it hadn't been for that masked woman last time, he would have already died at Chen Zixuan's hands... The Phoenix Clan, Feng Xueqing's residence.

“Child, eat something!” Granny Yu spoke kindly.

“Granny, I don't want to eat anything. I miss that scoundrel. I wonder how he is doing.”

Feng Xueqing had a weary Face as she quietly gazed into the distance, her eyes filled with longing. It was as if no one and nothing in this world could catch her attention except for Yang Lingchen.

“Child, Granny knows you miss him. Take a look at the divine martial ranking!”

Granny Yu handed over the latest, exquisitely bound edition of the tianfeng records.

“Granny, I don't want to look. I have no interest in the divine martial ranking right now,” Feng Xueqing said indifferently, her expression appearing somewhat lonely.

“Are you sure you won't look?” A loving smile appeared on Granny Yu's Face.

“I won't,” Feng Xueqing said, her tone resolute.

“Perhaps you might see the person you want to see on it?” Granny Yu said, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

“I don't want to see anyone but that scoundrel,” Feng Xueqing said with lifeless eyes, her voice tinged with a trace of loss.

“Sigh! Granny originally wanted to tell you some news about Yang Lingchen, but since you aren't interested, then forget it.”

Granny Yu shook her head and sighed, her Face full of helplessness.

“Granny, what did you say?”

“You have news of the scoundrel?”

“Quickly tell me, where is he? Is he doing well now?”

Feng Xueqing grabbed Granny Yu's arm and shook it forcefully, her expression urgent.

“First, see who is ranked thirtieth on the divine martial ranking!” Granny Yu handed the tianfeng records over again, her eyes filled with smiles.

“Alright!” Feng Xueqing took the tianfeng records and began to look nervously.

“Ah! scoundrel! Granny, is this true? My scoundrel really made it onto the divine martial ranking?” Feng Xueqing asked excitedly, her voice trembling slightly.

“Of course it's true. If you're afraid Granny is faking it, you can go out and buy a copy yourself,” Granny Yu laughed, her eyes full of doting.

“I knew it, I knew my scoundrel wasn't an ordinary person. He will definitely become the most outstanding man in this world.”

At this moment, Feng Xueqing was as excited as an innocent child... Yang Lingchen and Wang Chen flew all the way, and after three long days, they finally arrived at the magnificent Heavenly Sword City.

“Brother Wang, I'll trouble you to hang this challenge banner at the majestic mountain gate of the Heavenly Sword Sect. After I set up the Teleportation Array, we will meet at the broad Challenge Stage of Heavenly Sword City,” Yang Lingchen said, his expression serious.

“Sure, no problem.”

Wang Chen took the challenge banner from Yang Lingchen's hand. After taking a look, he continued, “A life-and-death challenge? Brother Yang, did you write it wrong?”

“No, it's a life-and-death battle!” Cold killing intent flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes, his gaze firm.

“Brother Yang, Chen Zixuan is the Young Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. If you kill him, the old fellows of the Heavenly Sword Sect will definitely take action against you,” Wang Chen said after thinking for a moment, his Face full of worry.

“What you say makes sense. Tonight, I will secretly and carefully set up a Teleportation Array beneath the battle stage. When the time comes and I've killed Chen Zixuan, we can leave directly through the Teleportation Array,” Yang Lingchen said with confidence.

“Then alright, I'll go hang the banner now. We'll meet at the Challenge Stage in Heavenly Sword City,” Wang Chen said.

After this period of challenging others, he was already completely convinced of Yang Lingchen's strength.

When Yang Lingchen's challenge banner appeared before the mountain gate of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the news spread like it had grown wings, sweeping across the entire Tianluo Domain... In the Tianluo Domain, atop a scenic mountain Peak.

A woman wearing a white dress as pure as snow, with skin as white as jade and a Face that could topple nations, was looking at the latest exquisitely bound edition of the tianfeng records.

This woman was none other than the Genius currently ranked first on the divine martial ranking within the Tianluo Domain, Shangguan Xianer.

“Yang Lingchen... Yang Lingchen!”

“Why does my heart race when I see this name? Could it be that I knew him before?”

Shangguan Xianer's willow-like brows furrowed as she murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion... Inside a magnificent palace of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

“Clang...!”

When Chen Zixuan saw Yang Lingchen's life-and-death challenge banner, he directly smashed the delicate teacup in his hand onto the ground, his Face as dark as water.

“This Little Bastard, how could he achieve a Breakthrough so quickly?”

Chen Zixuan's Face was incredibly gloomy, his heart full of rage.

During this time, although the name Yang Lingchen had risen rapidly on the divine martial ranking, he had always felt that this person couldn't possibly be the Yang Lingchen he knew.

“Xuan'er, it's just a challenge, yet it makes you this restless! Do you have no confidence in yourself?”

Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a gray satin robe slowly walked in.

This middle-aged man in the gray satin robe was none other than the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader, Chen Tantian.

He stood there quietly, yet his body radiated an incredibly powerful pressure. Every movement seemed to contain endless mysterious energy, manifesting a majesty and sense of authority that ruled over all things.

“Father, your son naturally has confidence; it's just that I can't figure something out,” Chen Zixuan said in a deep voice, his brows tightly knit.

“What is it that you can't figure out? Tell your father,” Chen Tantian spoke, his voice low and powerful.

“When I saw this kid in the Lower Realm three years ago, he was only at the Profound Understanding Realm. When I saw him again a month ago, he had already broken through to the Divine Void Realm.”

“Now, less than a month has passed, and this kid has broken through to the Divine Martial Realm Peak.”

“Father, don't you think this is very strange?” Chen Zixuan said, his eyes full of doubt.

“Such a thing happened?”

A sharp light flashed in Chen Tantian's eyes, and he immediately said, “Tell your father everything you know about him, without missing a single word.”

“Father, this kid comes from a Small World called the Heavenly Martial Continent...” Next, Chen Zixuan recounted everything he knew without missing a word.

“This kid has a great secret on him. This challenge must not take his life; I will personally be present to support you.” A flicker of heat flashed in Chen Tantian's eyes, as if he saw a massive opportunity... Late that night.

Yang Lingchen quietly came beneath the Challenge Stage in Heavenly Sword City. After a period of meticulous arrangement, he finally finished setting up the Teleportation Array.

“Brother Wang, when the battle happens tomorrow, you watch from this position. Once the situation changes, we can enter the Teleportation Array directly,” Yang Lingchen said, his expression serious.

“Alright!”

Wang Chen nodded, then gave a cheeky laugh and said, “Brother Yang, with the big battle imminent tomorrow, why don't we go to the Lichun Brothel to relax properly?”

“Brother Wang, we are here to challenge. You want me to go to a place like the Lichun Brothel? What kind of person do you take me, Yang Lingchen, for?”

Yang Lingchen said irritably, his Face somewhat displeased.

“Brother Yang is right, it was my lack of consideration,” Wang Chen quickly spoke, looking embarrassed.

“Brother Wang, I didn't mean to blame you.”

“However, we are so familiar now. Since you want to go so much, it wouldn't be good for me to deny you Face. Lead the way!” Yang Lingchen said as calm as a breeze.

“Cough, cough...! Go where!” Wang Chen was completely dazed.

“What do you think?” Yang Lingchen said.

“Understood, understood! Brother Yang, this way please! Hehe...!” Wang Chen was full of excitement and immediately walked ahead to lead the way.
