Chapter 4271 - 4271 Shangguan Fu Su

4271 Shangguan Fu Su

Creating a jade token that could conjure up one’s manifestation was difficult even for supreme powerhouses. It took a long time just to create such a jade token. As such, only those highly valued by supreme powerhouses would be given such a jade token.

Naturally, Xue Ying also possessed such a jade token. After all, the ancestor of the Xue clan, a supreme powerhouse, not only treated her like his granddaughter but he also looked highly upon her. She was one of the two brightest prodigies in the Xue clan, after all. She was not inferior to the successor of the Xia clan at all. Apart from that, she also belonged to the same faction in the clan which the supreme powerhouse founded.

At this time, Yang Yu Chen bowed slightly at the huge face in the sky as well and said,

“Yang Yu Chen from the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction in the Profound Energy Land greets senior.”

Yang Yu Chen felt slightly envious as he wondered when the Inner Palace faction would have a supreme powerhouse of its own.

‘I hope Eldest Senior Sister doesn’t overdo it in the Outer Boundary. If she dies before becoming a supreme powerhouse, I’ll lose the chance of gaining the support of a supreme powerhouse. Once Eldest Senior Sister becomes a supreme powerhouse and gives me a life-saving jade token, my safety will be guaranteed as I wander the world…’ Yang Yu Chen thought to himself excitedly. However, his excitement slowly vanished as he continued thinking to himself, ‘Wait… I still have junior brother and Fourth Junior Sister who are weaker than me. It won’t be my turn to receive a life-saving jade token from Eldest Senior Sister…’

The supreme powerhouse in the sky looked at Yang Yu Chen and nodded.

“The Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction?”

Yang Yu Chen failed to detect the slight hint of fear that flashed in the depth of the supreme powerhouse’s eyes.

“I’ve heard that the Inner Palace faction has many talents from the lower realms. It’s remarkable that you achieved so much at such a young age,” the supreme powerhouse said, sounding much friendlier than before.

Yang Yu Chen noticed the supreme powerhouse’s change in attitude and attributed it to Xue Ying’s presence.

The supreme powerhouse shifted his gaze to Xue Ying and continued to say, “Little girl, I’m Shangguan Ming Dao. He’s a direct descendant of my Shangguan clan. I hope you’ll let him go for my sake.”

Xue Ying’s eyes flashed briefly before she said, “As it turns out, senior is from the Red Maple Land’s Shangguan Land. Since you’ve spoken, I’ll definitely agree to your request as a show of respect.” She paused for a moment to look at Yang Yu Chen before she continued to say, “However, I’m not the only one involved in this matter. I’m afraid senior will have to compensate my fiance.”

Xue Ying knew that Shangguan Ming Dao was weaker than her Xue clan’s supreme powerhouse. Hence, she was not particularly afraid of him and dared to ask for compensation. Moreover, supreme powerhouses were not supposed to intervene in matters on the Realm Battlefield anyway. Doing so would only incur displeasure from the other supreme powerhouses and result in being punished.

Although supreme powerhouses were apex existence between heaven and earth, they still had to abide by the rules. They kept each other in check. After all, a supreme powerhouse, no matter how strong, was no match for a group of supreme powerhouses.

Currently, Shangguan Ming Dao did not break the rules of the Realm Battlefield. He did not make a move, after all, and only requested Xue Ying and Yang Yu Chen to let his direct descendant go. Although the request could be considered a form of intervention, he would not be punished for it.

Xue Ying, who was also a direct descendant of a supreme powerhouse, naturally would not let the matter go without compensation.

‘Fiance?’

Shangguan Ming Dao’s expression changed slightly before he said with a smile, “Of course. It’s only natural for me to compensate you.”

Following that, Shangguan Ming Dao’s manifestation, which was in the form of a huge face, suddenly flickered before turning into the incorporeal figure of a dignified middle-aged man.

Shangguan Ming Dao looked at Yang Yu Chen as he raised his hand and said, “Here are two fragments of prime divine artifacts. This is my compensation to you.”

Then, Shangguan Ming Dao tossed two fragments of prime divine artifacts to Yang Yu Chen.

Yang Yu Chen’s eyes lit up upon seeing this. Then, he bowed slightly and thanked Shangguan Ming Dao. “Thank you, senior.”

In fact, it was not necessary for Yang Yu Chen to thank Shangguan Ming Dao. After all, he did not owe Shangguan Ming Dao. Moreover, Shangguan Ming Dao would not dare to act rashly on the Realm Battlefield.

Xue Ying smiled. She was genuinely happy that Yang Yu Chen was given two fragments of prime divine artifacts. She said, “Thank you, senior.”

Shangguan Ming Dao only nodded before he looked at his direct descendant and said, “Let’s go. You must be cautious on the Realm Battlefield. Do you think you’re invincible just because you’re a powerful intermediate Supreme God and stronger than ordinary advanced Supreme Gods? This will teach you a lesson.’

The middle-aged man felt guilty after listening to Shangguan Ming Dao’s words. After all, he had caused his ancestor to lose two fragments of prime divine artifacts. Even for a supreme powerhouse, it was not easy to cultivate a fragment of a prime divine artifact.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath before bowing at Shangguan Ming Dao’s manifestation. Before leaving, his gaze was cold as it swept past Yang Yu Chen and Xue Ying. They were the reason he was forced to use the jade token given by his ancestor, and they were also the reason his ancestor had to give up two fragments of prime divine artifacts.

‘I’m not afraid of them individually. I, Shangguan Fu Su, will get my revenge in the future.’

The middle-aged man was Shangguan Fu Su. He was the most outstanding prodigy in the Red Maple Land’s Shangguan clan.

In the beginning, Shangguan Fu Su assumed that he would be invincible in the chaotic region with his current strength. He did not expect to run into Xue Ying soon after he entered the chaotic region. Most importantly, Xue Ying’s strength was on par with his. When he heard her name, he finally realized why she was strong. How could she not be strong when she was the precious descendant of the Xue clan, a prime supreme-rank force in the Profound Energy Land? She was one of the two most outstanding prodigies in the Xue clan, after all.

Conversely, Shangguan Fu Su had never heard of Yang Yu Chen before. He had only heard of the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction because of its eldest disciple. The eldest disciple of the Inner Palace faction was so strong that all the advanced Supreme Gods in the Shangguan clan admired her. Moreover, his father, an advanced Supreme God who was second only to the Clan Leader of the Shangguan clan, was no match for her.

‘So he’s her junior brother! I’ll definitely challenge both of them to a duel in the future,’ Shangguan Fu Su thought to himself as he scoffed inwardly. He felt really unwilling. After all, individually, he was on par with Xue Ying and Yang Yu Chen. He was only forced to retreat because the two of them joined forces.

…

When Shangguan Fu Su moved until it was impossible for Xue Ying and Yang Yu Chen to chase after him, Shangguan Ming Dao’s manifestation finally disappeared. Before leaving, he looked at Yang Yu Chen again. It was as though Yang Yu Chen, who was not a direct descendant of a supreme powerhouse, was more deserving of his attention compared to Xue Ying, who was a direct descendant of a supreme powerhouse.

After Shangguan Ming Dao’s manifestation disappeared, Xue Ying heaved a huge sigh of relief and said, “A supreme powerhouse is truly powerful. Even a manifestation is so domineering.”

Yang Yu Chen nodded slightly in agreement. Then, he sent the two fragments of prime divine artifacts over to Xue Ying with a wave of his energy. He said, “Take them.”

Xue Ying waved her hand and said, “No, they’re useless to me.”

“Useless? Do you own a prime divine artifact?” Yang Yu Chen felt as though his heart had been stabbed by a knife when he heard Xue Ying’s words.

At the same time, Yang Yu Chen could not help but wonder why Xue Ying did not use her prime divine artifact when fighting Shangguan Fu Su. With a prime divine artifact, she could have easily defeated him.

Yang Yu Chen had figured out earlier that the middle-aged man was Shangguan Fu Su, the Shangguan clan’s most outstanding prodigy, when he discovered the supreme powerhouse was Shangguan Ming Dao. Only Shangguan Fu Su would be given a life-saving jade token.

Similarly, Xue Ying also knew who Shangguan Fu Su was.

As the most outstanding prodigy in the prime supreme-rank Shangguan clan, Shangguan Fu Su was well-known among the elites in the various Realms of Gods.

Xue Ying shook her head and said, “No. If I owned one, I would’ve cut that Shangguan Fu Su down.”

Yang Yu Chen frowned. “Then why did you…”

Xue Ying interjected. “I already possessed three fragments of prime divine artifacts. It’ll be impossible to collect all nine before becoming an advanced Supreme God.” After a beat, she continued to say, “My ancestor promised to give me a prime divine artifact after becoming an advanced Supreme God so I have no use for the fragments. Speaking of which, in addition to the two fragments, you can have my fragments as well.”

As Xue Ying spoke, she brought out three fragments of prime divine artifacts and sent them over to Yang Yu Chen.

Yang Yu Chen stared at the three fragments of prime divine artifacts in a daze. The corners of his lips twitched as he lamented why his luck was so different from Xue Ying even though both of them were intermediate Supreme Gods.
