Chapter 72 I am the true successor!
According to Ji Yang and others' speculations, the whereabouts of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron are only two places: one is Purple Mountain, and the other is that it has fallen into the hands of Hua Yunfei.
After all, he was the one who orchestrated this act of revenge against the Ruthless Clan.
At first, they all thought this was unlikely, since Hua Yunfei's cultivation level was too low and he didn't have the strength.
But now it seems the situation may be different. With such a terrifyingly powerful figure behind Hua Yunfei, things have taken a dramatic turn.
Faced with Ji Yang's murderous intent, Hua Yunfei remained unmoved. With Wei Yi present, he had nothing to fear.
Sensing the possible actions of the Ruthless Clan, he made a special trip to the Divine City a few days ago to invite Wei Yi to come out of seclusion.
Perhaps it was the stillness that made him want to move, but Wei Yi was now also inclined to make a move and was willing to come out of seclusion to eliminate some potential dangers for Hua Yunfei.
Hua Yunfei's greatest asset finally came into play.
At this moment, ignoring Ji Yang's question, Hua Yunfei turned to Wei Yi and asked, "Senior, is it the real body?"
"Incarnation..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang on the other side was startled.
Hua Yunfei understood, revealing an expression of "I knew it." He knew these old guys were all shrewd and valued their lives above all else, and wouldn't easily take risks.
"You guys are too impatient. You couldn't sit still at all the moment I showed up." He said this without any sense of the pain of the situation.
Nonsense! You wouldn't be able to stay calm if you lost your imperial weapon!
Ji Yang's forehead veins bulged. If it weren't for Wei Yi standing beside him, he would have slapped Hua Yunfei to pieces long ago in response to Hua Yunfei's sarcastic remarks.
Just as Ji Yang was about to speak again, Wei Yi reached out and grabbed him, immobilizing Ji Yang and making him fly over like a puppet on strings.
"You..." Ji Yang was shocked. Just what level of cultivation did the old man in front of him possess? He was a saint, yet the other party grabbed him as if he were a chick.
Looking at the imprisoned Ji Yang, Hua Yunfei stepped forward and said, "Tell me honestly, how many more saints do you have? If you don't tell me, I'll suppress you in a latrine!"
"How dare you, you brat?!" Ji Yang was furious. Even if this was just an avatar of his, it was still himself. He couldn't bear the shame of being thrown into the latrine.
"Do you think I dare?!"
"I am the rightful successor of the Devouring Emperor, and you are merely collateral descendants. How dare you bark here?!"
Hua Yunfei rebuked them, degrading Ji Yang and his lineage to a collateral branch, while he himself claimed to be the legitimate heir.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang was so angry that his beard and hair stood on end, and his eyebrows shot up.
The young man before them was merely a chosen demonic offspring of their lineage. Even the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was passed down to him by Feng Xu, He Yan, and others. Yet this boy dared to claim himself as the legitimate successor?!
Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice left?!
Seeing Ji Yang's face turn ashen and he was about to rebuke him, Hua Yunfei spoke first: "I have the Devouring Demon Jar, do you?"
"I have a black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns, do you?!"
With just two sentences, he completely shut Ji Yang down.
Ji Yang was dumbfounded. What had he just heard?
Their lineage had been yearning for the ultimate treasure of countless ages—the Devouring Demon Jar—which was in Hua Yunfei's possession.
The dragon-patterned black gold cauldron of the Yao Guang Holy Land is also on this kid?
"Impossible... Absolutely impossible!" Ji Yang shouted, unable to believe it was true.
They had previously speculated about this, but they had denied it themselves.
Because in Ji Yang's mind, they were the rightful heirs, and from any perspective, the Devouring Demon Jar and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron would never help outsiders to deal with them.
Especially the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, which they had wielded for countless years in the Yao Guang Holy Land, this imperial weapon had long recognized their worth.
The imperial weapon possesses a spirit. As long as the Yao Guang Holy Land is not destroyed and their lineage still exists, it is impossible for it to change its allegiance and be controlled by others.
Therefore, they are more inclined to believe that the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron is still in Purple Mountain, trapped in the Daoist temple of a great emperor, as only such a special place could trap an imperial weapon.
No one can force the acquisition of an imperial weapon. If the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron is indeed on Hua Yunfei, it can only mean one thing.
That means the Imperial Cauldron actively chose Hua Yunfei and abandoned their lineage!
Upon realizing this conclusion, Ji Yang's face turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a dead child.
The saintly mind, which had remained calm and undisturbed for many years, collapsed at this moment.
How could this be? There couldn't be a worse outcome!
Hua Yunfei is the legitimate successor, so what are they?
"Only with the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron can one be considered a true Yao Guang Holy Land, and only with the Devouring Demon Jar can one be considered a true ruthless person. I have both the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron and the Devouring Demon Jar, so I = Yao Guang Holy Land = true ruthless person."
Listening to Hua Yunfei's incessant rambling, Ji Yang was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chi!
Just then, Wei Yi decisively took action and imprisoned the divine sense residing in Ji Yang's avatar.
Under the power of a great sage, no matter how unwilling he was, it was all in vain.
"Yes, they came prepared!"
After observing for a while, Wei Yi discovered that there were complex restrictions within this divine thought. As soon as he probed it, he triggered its self-destruct mechanism.
Wei Yi no longer held back and violently attacked, retrieving the fragments of divine consciousness to read the scattered memories within.
Before long, Ji Yang's avatar vanished into thin air.
"Hmm, they seem to have one or two saints in the Yao Guang Holy Land."
Wei Yi drew this conclusion based on the fragments of divine consciousness he retrieved.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yunfei immediately took out the Devouring Demon Jar and handed it to Wei Yi, saying, "Please accompany me to the Yao Guang Holy Land, senior!"
Wei Yi took the magic jar and nodded. Then, with a wave of his hand, he dispersed the dark clouds that filled the sky, allowing the star peak to reappear between heaven and earth.
The disciples of Xingfeng finally regained their senses, and the terrifying sense of oppression disappeared.
"What happened?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the feeling just now was too oppressive, and everyone's heart was pounding.
“Eh…”
At this moment, Wei Yi seemed to have noticed something and looked in a certain direction with some curiosity.
The next moment, he took a step forward and appeared a thousand miles away from the Tai Xuan Sect with Hua Yunfei.
With a whoosh, a beam of light, like a startled rabbit, flew away swiftly, reaching a hundred miles away in an instant.
Hua Yunfei was somewhat surprised. Judging from this situation, it seemed as if someone was secretly spying on the Tai Xuan Sect.
hum!
Wei Yi made his move, and a huge hand reached out, covering the sky and obscuring the heavens, and snatched the celestial light back in one swift motion.
"Please forgive me, senior, I meant no harm!" A panicked voice rang out, melodious and pleasant, clearly belonging to a young woman.
With a whoosh, a figure fell in front of Hua Yunfei and the other person, staggering.
"Yao Xi!"
Hua Yunfei was dumbfounded when he saw the beautiful figure that suddenly appeared in front of him. He never expected it to be her, the contemporary Holy Maiden of Yao Guang!
"Hua Yunfei?!"
After Yao Xi steadied herself, she was also stunned when she saw Hua Yunfei. Then she looked at Wei Yi beside him and, combined with all the information she had gathered, she immediately realized that the two people in front of her were likely the masterminds behind all of this!
She said, somewhat agitated, "I understand now. So you were the ones who did all this?"
Hua Yunfei frowned. Logically speaking, Yao Xi shouldn't be a member of the Ruthless People's faction, so how come she's involved in this matter now?
