Chapter 37: Return to Heavenly Origin Palace

“Brat, who are you telling to call you ‘sister’?” Nangong Yan walked over, her expression displeased. “Of course, you should call me ‘sister.’ You understand the concept of ‘first come, first served,’ don’t you?” Feng Xueqing chuckled. “You’re just a young girl who hasn’t even fully grown yet, and you want to be the ‘sister’?” Nangong Yan scoffed. “Me, not fully grown? Do you have the same… stature as I do?” Feng Xueqing puffed out her chest, looking at Nangong Yan with disdain. “You…” Nangong Yan was left speechless. Although she was not small herself, compared to Feng Xueqing, there was indeed a noticeable difference. “‘You’ what? If you’re not as developed as I am, then just quietly call me ‘sister,’” Feng Xueqing said with a smile. “You’re both my sisters, and I’m the little brother, how about that?” Yang Lingchen quickly tried to mediate. “Shut up!” The two girls exclaimed in unison. Rumble, rumble… Just then, a tremendous roar echoed from the distant palace. Immediately after, all the palaces began to shake. “This is bad, this ruin is collapsing! Let’s go!” Yang Lingchen quickly grabbed the two girls and rushed towards the previous exit. At that moment, the entire relic space swayed violently, and cracks began to appear in the ground. Countless people, caught off guard, fell directly into the fissures. Yang Lingchen led the two girls in a frantic dash, and soon they reached the original entrance. He took out several spirit stones, his hands moving in the air, muttering incantations. “Open!” Yang Lingchen roared. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom… Just then, the previously vanished exit suddenly reappeared. Yang Lingchen, holding one girl in each hand, frantically charged outside. Other people near the exit also quickly rushed out, each wishing they had an extra pair of legs. Not long after Yang Lingchen emerged, the relic’s exit began to collapse. At this point, only about half the people had made it out, with many still desperately trying to escape. Rumble… With a massive roar, the exit of the ancient ruin completely collapsed. Seeing this, Yang Lingchen secretly felt relieved, fortunate that they had escaped, otherwise, they would have died in the ruin like those others. “Young Miss, are you alright?” A Sword Origin Sect elder’s voice rang out. “Yang Lingchen, I’m leaving. Don’t forget what you promised me,” Nangong Yan said. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come find you within a year,” Yang Lingchen pledged. “Mm-hmm, I believe you will,” Nangong Yan said before walking towards the Sword Origin Sect’s encampment. Just then, elders from the Earth Yin Gate and the Rakshasa Palace approached Yang Lingchen. “Kid, how dare you kill a disciple of my Rakshasa Palace?” The Rakshasa Palace elder said coldly. “Luo Tianxiang, this is a dispute between disciples. Are you going to interfere as well?” At this moment, Sun Tiancheng, an inner elder from the Heavenly Origin Palace, walked over. “Sun Tiancheng, do you know who this kid killed?” The Earth Yin Gate elder stepped forward, his face grim. “Huang Zhongjun, in a trial within an ancient ruin, life and death are determined by fate. If someone dies, it’s only because their strength wasn’t enough. Surely you understand this principle?” Sun Tiancheng retorted coldly. “This kid killed the youngest son of our sect master. Are you sure your Heavenly Origin Palace wants to protect him?” Huang Zhongjun’s eyes were sinister. Sun Tiancheng frowned. This matter was indeed quite serious. “Sun Tiancheng, do you know who this kid killed from our Rakshasa Palace?” Luo Tianxiang’s eyes were venomous. Sun Tiancheng’s eyelids twitched. “Who?” “He killed Luo Haoran, the illegitimate son of our Rakshasa Palace Master,” Luo Tianxiang said coldly. At this, Sun Tiancheng felt a thousand curses in his heart. This kid was just too unlucky! Yang Lingchen, at this moment, was also bewildered. *I’m too unlucky!* *I just casually killed two nobodies, and their identities turn out to be so high.* *Who would dare to kill anyone in the future?* “This elder cannot hand him over to you. This matter will be reported to the Palace Master, and how the Palace Master handles it is none of my concern,” Sun Tiancheng stated. “Sun Tiancheng, I advise you to hand him over, or don’t blame us for being impolite,” Luo Tianxiang said coldly. “Hmph! If you have the guts, then be impolite and show me!” Sun Tiancheng snorted. “Everyone, please calm down. These are just disputes between juniors; there’s no need to harm our harmony,” the Sword Origin Sect elder said as he approached. “Elder Huangfu is right. This matter will be decided by my Heavenly Origin Palace Master. How Yang Lingchen is dealt with is the Palace Master’s business,” Sun Tiancheng said. “Hmph, he killed our sect master’s youngest son. No one will be able to protect this kid,” Huang Zhongjun snorted and left the scene. “Kid, you’re going to die a miserable death,” Luo Tianxuan glared at Yang Lingchen and also left. “Elder Sun, Feng Xueqing also crippled Senior Brother Wang Xuanfeng, causing him to fail to escape the ruin,” an inner disciple reported. “Feng Xueqing crippled Wang Xuanfeng? Who is Feng Xueqing?” Sun Tiancheng frowned. Who was this Feng Xueqing? She even crippled Wang Xuanfeng. “Elder Sun, Senior Brother Wang Xuanfeng assaulted me, so I accidentally crippled him,” Feng Xueqing said pitifully. “Wang Xuanfeng was crippled by you? How is that possible?” Sun Tiancheng looked at Feng Xueqing in disbelief. After all, Wang Xuanfeng was at the peak of the ninth layer of the Profound Realm, while Feng Xueqing was only at the fifth layer. “At that time, Senior Brother Wang Xuanfeng was completely consumed by lust, which is why I was able to cripple him,” Feng Xueqing said weakly. Sun Tiancheng looked at Feng Xueqing with a puzzled expression. He didn’t believe Feng Xueqing’s nonsense. No matter how lust-crazed Wang Xuanfeng was, he wouldn’t be crippled by a girl at the fifth layer of the Profound Realm. “You and Yang Lingchen, you two little rascals have caused big trouble, do you know that? Come back with me to see the Palace Master!” Sun Tiancheng said gravely. Sun Tiancheng was also astonished by the combat power of Yang Lingchen and Feng Xueqing. After all, these two little rascals were only at the fifth layer of the Profound Realm! Even top geniuses couldn’t be this exaggerated! They returned to the Heavenly Origin Palace without incident. Meanwhile, the news of Yang Lingchen and Feng Xueqing’s incredible display in the ancient ruin spread throughout the entire Heavenly Origin Palace. Palace Master’s Hall. At this moment, most of the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Origin Palace had gathered here. “Greetings, Palace Master,” Elder Sun bowed. Yang Lingchen and Feng Xueqing also saluted. “Elder Sun, what is so urgent that you have come to see me?” Dongfang Yunbing’s voice was clear and cold. “Palace Master, a major incident has occurred. This boy killed the youngest son of the Earth Yin Gate Master and the illegitimate son of the Rakshasa Palace Master,” Sun Tiancheng said, pointing at Yang Lingchen. “If they were killed, then they were killed. It’s not a big deal,” Dongfang Yunbing said indifferently. “Palace Master, those were the sons of the Earth Yin Gate Master and the Rakshasa Palace Master!” The Grand Elder, Wang Batian, exclaimed. “If I say it’s a small matter, then it’s a small matter. Do you have an objection?” Dongfang Yunbing’s eyes narrowed, and the temperature in the hall instantly dropped several degrees. “No, no objection,” Grand Elder Wang Batian said in a low voice. “Furthermore, this girl crippled Wang Xuanfeng, which led to Wang Xuanfeng’s death in the ancient ruin,” Sun Tiancheng continued. “What? Sun what?” Wang Batian suddenly turned around. “Grand Elder, according to the disciples present, your grandson was crippled by Feng Xueqing on the spot because he tried to seize treasures from her, which then led to his death in the ancient ruin,” Sun Tiancheng explained. “How could Feng’er die? This girl is only at the fifth layer of the Profound Realm; how could she be Feng’er’s opponent?” Wang Batian said agitatedly. “That, this elder does not know,” Sun Tiancheng replied. “Little girl, tell me, what method did you use to harm my grandson?” Wang Batian’s voice was sinister. “What method could I use? Your grandson was a good-for-nothing. For me to crush him was as easy as crushing an ant,” Feng Xueqing said coldly. “Vixen, you seek death!” Wang Batian’s eyes were cold, and he instantly struck out with a palm towards Feng Xueqing.
