Chapter 3929 - A Nirvanic Elder? An Emperor of Gods?

In fact, a Spirit Void Elder did not have a very high status in the Pure Yang Sect, let alone the Eastern Ridge Mansion. However, Qin Wu Yang’s master was from a rather strong faction in the Pure Yang Sect so he was more famous compared to the average Spirit Void Elder.

Moreover, Qin Wu Yang’s fame in the Eastern Ridge Mansion was a thing of the past. Linghu Zheng Xing, Linghu Huan, and Linghu Heng recognized him because they were about the same age and were around during his glorious years. Linghu Ren Jie and the other elders did not recognize him at all. They were more familiar with the powerhouses, who were Emperors of Gods, of the Pure Yang Sect. Naturally, not all Emperors of Gods in the Pure Yang Sect were famous. The famous ones were usually pillars of the Pure Yang Sect or those that Pure Yang Sect used as ‘faces’ to represent their sect.

There were powerful and extraordinary Emperors of Gods in the Pure Yang Sect who remained hidden as trump cards. Let alone outsiders, even most members of the Pure Yang Sect were unaware of their existence.

Even in the Pure Yang Sect, the number of Emperor of Gods powerhouses was not large. The powerful ones were the trump cards of the Pure Yang Sect, so many people in the Pure Yang Sect have never heard of them, not to mention the people from all forces in Eastern Ridge Mansion.

For Linghu Zheng Xing, Linghu Huan, and Linghu Heng, they had once regarded Qin Wu Yang as their idol. Now that they met him in person, their hearts that were like a still lake due to old age began to have ripples.

Qin Wu Yang was surprised by Linghu Zheng Xing’s words as well.

“Little Yang, I didn’t expect there to be people from this small king-grade clan who know about you… It seems like you didn’t lie to me about being famous once upon a time,” Zhen Ping Fan, who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian, said with a smile.

In the past, Qin Wu Yang had told Zhen Ping Fan repeatedly that he was rather famous once upon a time, but Zhen Ping Fan did not believe him.

After saying that, as though he had just thought of something, Zhen Ping Fan looked at Qin Wu Yang and asked suspiciously, “Wait. You didn’t collude with Duan Ling Tian to put on this act in front of me, right?”

“…”

Qin Wu Yang was dumbfounded, and Duan Ling Tian could not help but laugh.

“Elder Zhen, Elder Qin didn’t put me up to this…” Duan Ling Tian explained.

Meanwhile, Linghu Zhen Xing, Linghu Huan, and Linghu Heng finally noticed the way Zhen Ping Fan addressed Qin Wu Yang. After all, in their eyes, Qin Wu Yang was the high and mighty Spirit Void Elder of the Pure Yang Sect. It was strange and jarring that the other party referred to Qin Wu Yang as ‘Little Yang’. For a moment, they found it hard to reconcile the image of the person they worshipped with the nickname ‘Little Yang’. Then, they looked at Qin Wu Yang skeptically, as though they doubted his identity.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian smiled and said to Linghu Zhen Xing, “Elder Zheng Xing, he’s indeed Elder Qin Wu Yang, a Spirit Void Elder of the Pure Yang Sect. How do you know him?”

Duan Ling Tian understood that most Spirit Void Elders did not have much fame or presence in the Pure Yang Sect, let alone the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

“He’s really the Spirit Void Elder, Qin Wu Yang?”

After receiving Duan Ling Tian’s confirmation, Linghu Zheng Xing said enthusiastically, “I’m about the same age as Elder Qin! When I was young, he was one of the top ten prodigies of the Pure Yang Sect! He was brilliant! Although I had never met him before, I had heard about him. He’s rather famous among people from my generation. Huan, Heng, and I heard many stories about him when we were young! He was the idol of many people from our generation!”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. ‘No wonder Elder Huan and Elder Heng look so awestruck as well…’

Since they were all from the same generation, it was no wonder that the trio from the Linghu clan knew Qin Wu Yang, who was a prodigy at that time.

Upon hearing Linghu Zheng Xing’s words, Qin Wu Yang sighed. “Top ten prodigies of the Pure Yang Sect? That was a long time ago. Time really flies… In just a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed. Among the top ten prodigies of the sect you mentioned earlier, apart from me, only three are still alive.”

Linghu Zheng Xing was surprised by Qin Wu Yang’s words. “Elder Qin, they were all members of the Pure Yang Sect, one of the top five emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Who would dare to kill them?”

Qin Wu Yang smiled faintly. “The Pure Yang Sect is only considered strong in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Outside of the Eastern Ridge Mansion, it’s only average at best.”

As though he had thought of something, Qin Wu Yang looked at Zhen Ping Fan’s back and said, “This person next to Duan Ling Tian is my junior granduncle. He’s Elder Zhen, a Nirvanic Elder of the Pure Yang Sect.”

‘Nirvanic! Elder!’

Linghu Zheng Xing’s eyes widened in shock.

Linghu Ren Jie, Linghu Huan, Linghu Heng, and the others were shocked as well.

After all, they knew that only Emperors of Gods could be a Nirvanic Elder.

When the people from the Linghu clan looked at Zhen Ping Fan again, they felt their legs trembling slightly. Emperors of Gods were the most powerful in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, after all. They were unrivaled in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. A person like Zhen Ping Fan could easily wipe out the entire Linghu clan and Linghu City.

Linghu Zheng Xing regained his senses first. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he said respectfully, “G-greetings, Elder Zhen.”

Following that, Linghu Huan and Linghu Heng, who were drenched in cold sweat, quickly greeted him as well.

Linghu Ren Jie bowed to Zhen Ping Fan again and greeted him. He was not as flustered as the others since his sister was also an Emperor of Gods.

The other elders stumbled in shock and fear as they quickly called out, “Greetings, Elder Zhen!”

Meanwhile, after seeing the fanfare in front of him, Zhen Ping Fan glared at Qin Wu Yang. He had come to the Linghu clan in hopes of quietly watching a show like a bystander. Now that Qin Wu Yang exposed his status, the limelight had fallen on him. This was naturally not what he wanted.

After a moment, Zhen Ping Fan said to Duan Ling Tian, “Alright, Duan Ling Tian. Let’s go to the Linghu clan’s estate and deal with your affair.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he said to Linghu Ren Jie, “Clan leader, I’ll have to trouble you to summon all the elders of the Linghu clan to the main hall in the clan’s estate.”

Linghu Ren Jie did not know what Duan Ling Tian intended to do, but he obeyed his wishes after glancing at Qin Wu Yang and Zhen Ping Fan.

With that, everyone returned to the Linghu clan’s estate.

When they drew close to the Linghu clan’s estate, the patrolling members of the clan were stunned.

“Although it’s not surprising, I really didn’t expect that the clan leader and the elders are following behind Duan Ling Tian and the two elders from the Pure Yang Sect so respectfully…”

“I wonder how powerful the elders from the Pure Yang Sect are?”

“Well, they’re at least rudimentary Lords of Gods for sure. Their status can’t be any worse than that of a White Dragon Elder or Black Dragon Elder from the Flying Dragon Sect.”

…

Not long after Duan Ling Tian and the others entered the main hall, all the elders began to make their way to the main hall.

Some of them were in the estate, some of them were in the city, and some of them were outside of the city. All of them stopped what they were doing immediately and rushed to the main hall. After all, they knew that two elders of the Pure Yang Sect were visiting. Moreover, they also learned that one of the elders was an Emperor of Gods.

“Emperor of Gods! I didn’t expect an Emperor of Gods would visit our clan!”

“He’s a Nirvanic Elder! I can’t believe I’ll be able to meet a Nirvanic Elder!”

“I can brag about meeting a Nirvanic Elder from the Pure Yang Sect for the rest of my life!”

…

It took about half a day before almost all of the elders were gathered in the main hall. Those who were not in the main hall were those who had gone to distant places.

Linghu Ren Jie said to Duan Ling Tian, “Apart from those who are far away, everyone is here. They’re enough to represent the council of elders.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

After greeting Zhen Ping Fan and Qin Wu Yang, the elders who had just arrived looked at Duan Ling Tian with complicated expressions on their faces. Regret flooded their hearts when they recalled how they had insisted on removing Linghu Ren Jie from his position because he allowed Duan Ling Tian to enter the chamber of law, causing the loss of 100 million divine rocks. They even regretted agreeing to Duan Ling Tian’s proposal of returning the divine rocks within 100 years. If they had known then what they knew now, they would not have said anything even if they lost many more divine rocks back then, let alone 100 million.

“Elders…”

Under everyone’s watchful gazes, Duan Ling Tian stepped forward before he raised his hand and tossed a spatial ring out.

Clink!

In the next moment, divine rocks fell out of the spatial ring, covering the ground of the main hall in just a blink of an eye.
