“Sect Leader Ye Feng, there must be a reason for you to suddenly bring up the Devilseal Tablet, right?” King Qian asked as he looked at Ye Feng with a burning gaze.

The Devilseal Tablet was one of the ten Super Saint Weapons in the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking. Was there anyone who did not want it?

When he heard Ye Feng bringing up the Devilseal Tablet, the first thought that appeared in his mind was Ye Feng must know about the whereabouts of the Devilseal Tablet. The two old men behind him shared the same sentiment as well.

“Indeed, I do have a reason for asking about the Devilseal Tablet.” Ye Feng nodded. Not only did he not deny it, but he said bluntly, “It’s because I know where it is now!”

Boom!

The moment his words left his mouth, it was as though claps of thunder had sounded in the sky. It seemed as though a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake. The eyes of King Qian and the two old men narrowed as they looked at Ye Feng in unison. Their gazes turned piercing as though it could cut Ye Feng.

“Where is the Devilseal Tablet now?” King Qian asked.

The two old men behind him extended their Divine Consciousness immediately and latched on to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng did not get angry even though the two old men had trapped him with their auras. His expression was calm as he said at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, “I’m about to get to that part...”

“Didn’t you ask me earlier why am I in such a wretched state? This is all caused by the person who possesses the Devilseal Tablet... I’m sure you know that I, Ye Feng, am the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, and I’m also a Saint Stage Devil Cultivator,” Ye Feng added.

King Qian nodded. He had long known Ye Feng was a Devil Cultivator.

What he was interested in was who currently possessed the Devilseal Tablet?

“The man who possesses the Devilseal Tablet is only an Imminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator... However, because he has the Devilseal Tablet, our Dark Nether Sect’s Supreme Elder was killed by him. If I didn’t run away, my soul would’ve been destroyed by the Devilseal Tablet as well.” When Ye Feng reached the end of his sentence, fear could be seen on his face.

“If I’m not mistaken, the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect was also a Saint Stage powerhouse, right?” King Qian asked.

“Yes.” Ye Feng nodded. “Just like me, the Supreme Elder is a Saint Stage Devil Cultivator... It’s because we’re Saint Stage Devil Cultivators that we’d get suppressed by the Devilseal Tablet! If we’re not Devil Cultivators, it would’ve been easy for us to crush that Imminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.”

“Who is he?” King Qian asked with a burning gaze.

In his opinion, a mere Imminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator was not worthy of his concern.

As soon as he found out which Imminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator possessed the Devilseal Tablet, he would instantly snatch it away.

Ye Feng’s eyes flashed as he said to King Qian bluntly, “Fourth Imperial Highness, before I tell you who that person is, I have two things I would like to request from you.”

Upon hearing his words, King Qian frowned while the two old men behind King Qian said loudly, “How dare you! Ye Feng! Who do you think you are?! Do you think you’re worthy to negotiate with the Fourth Imperial Highness?”

“You’re an abandoned dog! Do you believe we can just kill you at King Qian’s estate today!” The auras emanating from the two Saint Stage powerhouses behind King Qian intensified. In the end, it was like those dark clouds that hung above a city as it swept toward Ye Feng, pressuring him.

However, Ye Feng merely ignored them as he stared at King Qian. “Fourth Imperial Highness, I know very clearly how strong the two seniors beside you are... It’ll be easy for them to kill me. However, do you plan on giving up on the Devilseal Tablet just like that?”

King Qian lifted his hand to stop the two old men just as their expressions turned grave, and they were about to teach Ye Feng a lesson.

“Sect Leader Ye Feng, state your two requests,” King Qian said indifferently as he looked at Ye Feng. His voice was emotionless. There were no joy nor anger.

“Fourth Imperial Highness, now that the Dark Nether Sect’s Supreme Elder has been killed, and I ran away from the sect, the sect has ceased to exist except in name. I request that you allow me to join you so that I’ll be able to contribute my strength to your cause,” Ye Feng said humbly and politely as he bowed at King Qian.

“Oh? You want to join my faction?” King Qian smiled. “As far as I know, you and your Dark Nether Sect have connections with the Situ Clan in many areas. Aren’t you betraying the Situ Clan, or to be more precise, betraying Situ Ming?”

As the Fourth Imperial Highness of Windfall Nation’s Imperial family, King Qian, naturally, knew about the situation in Situ Clan.

“Fourth Imperial Highness, as the saying goes, ‘Man endeavors to rise while water flows downward.’ I know very well that if I tell Situ Ming about the Devilseal Tablet, he might not be able to obtain it. Moreover, he might even go for the wool but come home shorn. Situ Ming is nothing at all compared to you,” Ye Feng, an awe-inspiring Saint Stage powerhouse, began to fawn over King Qian.

“What a good saying! Man endeavors to rise while water flows downward, huh? Good! Very good! Excellent!” When King Qian heard his words, he chuckled. “I agree to your request. However, I’m sure you already know the person Situ Clan supports in the battle for the crown is not me. If you join my faction, this will mean you’re turning against the Situ Clan. Situ Ming and Situ Hao might not get along, but ultimately, they’re still of the same mind. It’ll be difficult to change his mind,” King Qian reminded him.

“Don’t worry, Fourth Imperial Highness, I have a way to destroy the Situ Clan and make Situ Ming’s faction support you,” Ye Feng said solemnly.

“Oh?” King Qian’s eyes lit up immediately. “Is this true?”

If he could obtain support from Situ Ming’s faction in the Situ Clan, not only would his strength increase greatly, but his rival’s strength would be reduced accordingly as well.

This was undoubtedly great news to him.

“I wouldn’t dare to deceive you, Fourth Imperial Highness,” Ye Feng said.

“Good, good! Ye Feng, you’re good! From now on, as long as you work hard for me, I won’t mistreat you.” King Qian chuckled. “Now, tell me your other request.”

“The second request is not something difficult, Fourth Imperial Highness. It won’t require much effort from you at all...” Ye Feng’s eyes gleamed coldly as he took a deep breath. “I hope that after you’ve obtained the Devilseal Tablet, you’ll hand that man over to me so that I can kill him with my own hands!”

“That’s all you want?” King Qian was surprised. He did not expect Ye Feng’s requests would only amount to this.

“Yes.” Ye Feng nodded as he said with spitefully, “Not only did he kill the Supreme Elder of my Dark Nether Sect, he even caused me to run away from my own sect. The sect has ceased to exist except in name. He destroyed my sect so I want his life in return!”

“I’ll agree to this request as well since this is only a small matter,” King Qian replied, easily agreeing to his request.

“Thank you, Fourth Imperial Highness,” Ye Feng quickly expressed his gratitude.

“Now, you should be able to tell me who has the Devilseal Tablet, right?” King Qian asked.

The two old men behind him stared at Ye Feng’s face intently as though they were trying to discern if he was telling the truth.

“Fourth Imperial Highness, I’m sure you’ve heard of the person who has the Devilseal Tablet,” Ye Feng replied.

“Oh? Have I?” Upon hearing that, King Qian became even more curious. “Who is he?”

“Duan Ling Tian!” Ye Feng spat out the words one by one in his deep voice before he clenched his teeth.

“Duan Ling Tian?” King Qian raised an eyebrow. “It seems like I’ve heard of this name before.”

At this moment, one of the old men behind King Qian said, “Fourth Imperial Highness, the Interim Advisor of the Situ Clan is Duan Ling Tian. His name has spread far and wide in Windfall Nation recently.”

“It’s him?” Upon hearing that, King Qian was stunned as well. He turned to look at Ye Feng to confirm this.

“That’s right! It’s him!” Ye Feng nodded his head fiercely. “That day, he trespassed into the Dark Nether Sect and used the Devilseal Tablet to kill the sect’s Supreme Elder. I barely managed to get away with my life intact!”

When he recalled the incident that day, he shuddered.

At that moment when he was trapped by the Devilseal Tablet’s aura, he thought he would die. He did not expect the Devilseal Tablet would chase after the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect instead.

At that critical moment, he had forcefully activated the True Origin in his body and freed himself from the Devilseal Tablet’s aura. Only then did he manage to escape.

“Situ Clan, Duan Ling Tian, the owner of the Devilseal Tablet... No wonder you came to look for me! As it turns out, the owner of the Devilseal Tablet is from the Situ Clan!” King Qian said with a knowing look in his eyes.

There were not many people in the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family who possessed the ability to fight for the crown, but the number could not be considered as small. Although he was one of the few who possessed the ability to fight for the crown, he was not the strongest one.

The person with the strongest force was the Second Imperial Highness whom Situ Clan supported.

It was strange that Ye Feng did not look for his second brother. Instead, he had come looking for him. He had guessed this had something to do with the Situ Clan.

If Ye Feng went to his second brother, even if his second brother obtained the Devilseal Tablet, he might not let Ye Feng deal with the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan. To Ye Feng, the most important thing was not the Devilseal Tablet but to seek revenge.

He, on the other hand, could give Ye Feng a chance to seek revenge.

“Interim Advisor Duan Ling Tian of Situ Clan? I want that Devilseal Tablet in your hands.’ King Qian sneered. His heart was filled with excitement as though he could already see himself getting his hands on the Devilseal Tablet.

‘If I obtain the Devilseal Tablet, I no longer have to worry about the few Saint Stage Devil Cultivators on Second Brother’s side! I can use the Devilseal Tablet and deal with them on my own.’ The moment King Qian thought of this, he became even more excited. He was so excited that he accidentally dropped the portrait Ye Mu Bai left behind.

“It’s him!” Ye Feng’s eyes narrowed when he saw the handsome young man on the portrait.
