Upon hearing Du Yan’s invitation, Wu Feng asked skeptically, “Sure, but you won’t make me and my friend bear the cost to fuel the flying ship artifact, right? From what I know, even if it travels at the speed of a rudimentary King of Gods for a day, it’d still take 50 taels of divine rocks to fuel it.”
Du Yan was slightly taken aback by Wu Feng’s words. When he recovered, he said with a laugh, “Wu Yi Shan, I didn’t you know you have a humorous side to you. What kind of person do you think I am? Since I have a king-grade flying ship, do you think Ill lack divine stones to fuel it? It wouldn’t even be a
problem to travel to the Divine Sanctuary at the speed of an advanced King of Gods.”
It would take 500 taels of divine rocks to fuel the flying ship if it flew at the speed of an advanced King of Gods for a day.
Based on Du Yan’s words, he clearly did not lack divine rocks.
“Thank you very much then,” Wu Feng said with a slight smile before he gestured to Duan Ling Tian to board the flying ship, joining Du Yan and the middle-aged man.
The flying ship was very spacious and could easily accommodate dozens of people. In fact, if everyone squeezed together, it could accommodate hundreds of people. Since there were only the four of them on board the flying ship now, it was even more spacious.
Du Yan led everyone into the cabin of the ship. When the flying ship began to fly, four mirror images that reflected the outside surroundings appeared immediately. These mirror images were the results of a Formation.
Du Yan looked at Wu Feng and Duan Ling Tian, who were sitting at the side, and said with a smile, “Wu Yi Shan, after I went back, I looked up Memory Jade Slips related to Divine Sanctuaries. From what I’ve learned, it seems even more likely that the Divine Sanctuary we found was left behind by an
Emperor of Gods. However, I don’t know if it’s a rudimentary, intermediate, or advanced King of Gods.”
‘Wu Feng’s eyes lit up.
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian figured out that Du Yan must be the person who had first speculated the Divine Sanctuary was left behind by an Emperor of Gods whom Wu Feng had mentioned during their journey earlier.
“Nonetheless, even if it was only left behind by a rudimentary King of Gods, the treasures in there would still be precious,” Du Yan said as his eyes flashed with a hint of respect and excitement when he mentioned a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. After all, even the lord-rank sect he belonged to, the 10,000
Devils Sect, did not have an Emperor of Gods. How could he not feel excited now that he was about to enter the Divine Sanctuary left behind by an Emperor of Gods? Even the Sect Leader and elders of the 10,000 Devils Sect would have been excited to enter a Divine Sanctuary left behind by an Emperor of
Gods.
“Wu Yi Shan, we shouldn’t have sworn on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath with the other three people. With our strength combined, those three can’t do anything to us,” Du Yan said regretfully, “If we could tell our elders about this, we’d be able to obtain more treasures in the Divine Sanctuary. With our
strength alone, I’m not sure how many treasures we’ll be able to obtain in there.”
‘Wu Feng shook his head slightly and said, “I understand your thoughts, but at that time, if we didn’t swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath, do you think the other three would’ve cooperated with us to trigger the opening of the Divine Sanctuary at that time? They might not be able to do anything to us, but
we won’t be able to snatch the keys away from them as well. No matter from which angle you look at it, we had to cooperate with them.”
Du Yan fell silent upon hearing Wu Feng’s words. After a brief moment, he said, “Among those three, I’m most wary of that two-faced guy. If it weren’t for him, we could’ve exploited the loophole in the first oath we swore. It’s unfortunate he discovered the loophole in the oath and made us swear on
another oath.”
A trace of fear could be seen in Du Yan’s eyes as he continued to say, “During our mission, he’d given us countless suggestions. It was because of his suggestions that we completed the mission easily. He’s definitely not simple. Even if he’s not as strong as us, he’s definitely very smart.”
Upon hearing Du Yan’s words, a hint of envy could be seen in Wu Feng’s eyes.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian, who was sitting at the side, could not fully understand the duo’s conversation.
‘Wu Feng, who had seen the confused expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, explained, “Junior Brother Duan, I told you earlier that we swore on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath to only reveal the existence of the Divine Sanctuary to one person whose cultivation base is lower than that of an intermediate King
of Gods, respectively, and bring them into the Divine Sanctuary.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
‘Wu Feng continued to say, “However, one of us found a loophole and made everyone swear that we had to make the companion we had chosen swear to keep the secret before we’re allowed to reveal the existence of the Divine Sanctuary.”
Indeed. Now that Duan Ling Tian thought about it, there was a loophole in the first Devil Heart’s Blood Oath. Since he did not think too deeply into it, he did not discover the loophole earlier. If he were one of the five at that time, he would have discovered the loophole as well. After all, it was a pretty huge
loophole.
For example, if the other person did not make everyone swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath again, Wu Feng could only tell Duan Ling Tian about the Divine Sanctuary, but the loophole would allow Duan Ling Tian to tell others about the Divine Sanctuary. With this, Wu Feng would not be considered
breaking his oath.
With the second oath they had sworn, it ensured that only ten people would know about the Divine Sanctuary.
At this time, Du Yan glanced at Duan Ling Tian briefly before he shifted his gaze back to Wu Feng and said, “Wu Yi Shan, previously, I considered joining forces with you in the Divine Sanctuary so we can obtain more treasures. However, seeing that you brought such a weak advanced god, I have no choice
but to change my mind. After entering the Divine Sanctuary, it’s best that you keep an eye on him. Otherwise, the other six people might seize the opportunity to kill him. With that, there’d be one less person to compete for the treasures there.”
A hint of mockery could be heard in Du Yan’s voice when he spoke.
“Even if you really proposed to join forces with me, I might not necessarily agree to it,” Wu Feng calmly said, unfazed by Du Yan’s words, “You think too highly of yourself. Moreover, based on your status in the 10,000 Devils Sect alone, I wouldn’t join forces with you.”
After he finished speaking, Wu Feng looked around the flying ship meaningfully.
Du Yan chuckled. “Wu Yi Shan, you seem to think I have high status in the 10,000 Devils Sect. I’ll be honest with you. I borrowed this flying ship from my senior brother. He’s the pride of the 10,000 Devils Sect. He’s the one with high status in the sect, not me. I’m sure you’ve heard of him as well; he’s Yang
Qian Ye.”
“Yang Qian Ye?” Wu Feng’s eyes widened slightly upon hearing Yang Qian Ye’s name.
Duan Ling Tian was surprised as well. He had heard of this name as well while he was still in the Hidden Fog Sect. He had overheard a few Hidden Fog Sect disciples talking about the 10,000 Devils Sect’s Yang Qian Ye.
Yang Qian Ye was not only the pride of the 10,000 Devils Sect, but he was also the son of the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect. He was the strongest core disciple in the sect and had become an advanced King of Gods before reaching the age of 10,000. Apart from those who were Lords of Gods in the
sect, very few people, including core elders of the sect, were a match for him. Hence, he was recognized as a peerless genius in the sect. He was even more outstanding than the Hidden Fog Sect’s Xue Hai Chuan.
There were also rumors that many emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion had tried to recruit Yang Qian Ye.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Du Yan briefly. The fact that Yang Qian Ye lent Du Yan something as precious as a king-grade flying ship showed that Yang Qian Ye and Du Yan had a very good relationship.
“Even so, you’re definitely not just an ordinary disciple in the 10,000 Devils Sect,” Wu Feng said as he looked at Du Yan warily, “You must have a very good relationship with Yang Qian Ye for him to lend you a king-grade flying ship. If your surname is Du like you said, then I’m pretty certain you must be
Du Po Jun, the grandson of Du Zhan, the Supreme Elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect..”
