Chapter 318: He Has Inherited the Art of Bluffing
As they faced the dozens of elites before them, Nangong Xue’s expression became extremely solemn. She held Ye Guan's hand tightly, knowing that they weren't a match for the people before them. nOvelb1n
However, she wasn't afraid. It was just death, nothing serious.
Ye Guan remained calm as well. He had no backers, but he had a plan in mind.
His experience had told him that there were three ways to go about a battle: beat them up, talk to them and fight once negotiations had broken down, and bluff one's way out of a pinch.
The Grand Elder of the Xue Clan stood at the helm of the elites. He and the other Xue Clan members looked extremely gloomy; their eyes were filled with killing intent as they stared intently at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan had slapped the Xue Clan's heir and had even stolen the latter's bride. It was the biggest and worst humiliation possible.
Xue Feng glared at Ye Guan and was just about to speak when Ye Guan suddenly stepped forward.
"How dare you!" Ye Guan bellowed, and his voice echoed like thunder.
Xue Feng and the others were stunned.
Nangong Xue was stunned as well, and she cast a shocked gaze at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan stared at Xue Feng and sneered, "The tiny Xue Clan actually dared to chase after me to kill me. Who gave you the courage to do such a thing, you bunch of filthy insects?!"
Xue Feng's face turned ugly at the remark. The people behind him were about to make a move, but he stopped them by raising his hand. Xue Feng stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "Who are you?"
Xue Feng sounded calm and composed, but he was stupefied deep inside.
Ye Guan was too arrogant—he was arrogant to the extent that Xue Feng started doubting the intel that they had gathered on Ye Guan. Perhaps he had a great background?
Ye Guan didn't bother to speak and unleashed his powerful martial force.
Boom!
The aura of a Martial God filled the air between Ye Guan and the Xue Clan forces.
The faces of Xue Feng and the others changed drastically.
Xue Feng looked horrified, and he started trembling like an aspen tree. "You... Are you from the Martial Sect?"
Ye Guan snapped, "Get lost!"
The Xue Clan members were both angry and fearful.
Xue Feng immediately said, "I apologize for the inconvenience. It's a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to stop you.”
With that, he turned around and decisively left with the Xue Clan members.
"Wait!" Ye Guan cried out.
Xue Feng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ye Guan, seemingly puzzled.
Ye Guan stared intently at Xue Feng and asked, "You're leaving just like that?"
Xue Feng asked in a deep voice, "What do you want, Young Master Ye?"
Ye Guan said, "I want you to leave your storage rings behind!"
The elite cultivators behind Xue Feng were furious.
Their auras surged crazily and blotted out the skies.
Xue Feng clenched his fists as he stared at Ye Guan, but he didn't say anything in response.
Ye Guan fearlessly met Xue Feng's gaze as he said, "The Xue Clan will be annihilated if you guys don't leave your storage rings. Are you willing to test my patience?"
The Xue Clan had never suffered such a humiliation. The owners of the powerful auras behind Xue Feng were so furious that they seemed like they were about to erupt in fury any time soon, but Xue Feng stopped them in time.
Xue Feng looked at Ye Guan and smiled. "My Xue Clan has made a mistake, so it's only right for us to apologize and make amends."
Xue Feng took off his own storage ring, but the powerful elites of the Xue Clan behind Xue Feng remained unmoving as they glared at Ye Guan with incensed eyes.
Xue Feng turned around and swept his gaze across the clan members behind him.
The clan members were unwilling, but they had to leave their storage rings behind.
Xue Feng turned around and took one final glance at Ye Guan before leaving with the Xue Clan members in tow.
Ye Guan collected the storage rings. The combined value of the storage rings was more than thirty million spiritual cores.
Ye Guan shook his head and sighed. "The Xue Clan is too poor. I truly didn't expect to see a Great Sovereign carrying only ten million spiritual cores in their storage ring. I wonder how they've been surviving.”
Shanbo nodded and said, "Yes."
Nangong Han clenched her right hand.
Shanbo hesitated briefly before asking, "What if he's really from the Martial Sect?”
Nangong Han shook her head and said, "No way."
Curious, Shanbo asked, "How can you be so sure?"
Nangong Han explained quietly, "If he were from the Martial Sect, why had he departed our clan residence? Of course, even if he's not from the Martial Sect, we can already say that he has a remarkable background."
"Should we get involved?" Shanbo asked.
Nangong Han closed her eyes, and a glimmer of determination fleeted across her eyes as she muttered, "Tens of billions of spiritual cores..."
Nangong Han created simulations in her head and soon reached a conclusion.
"Once we've confirmed that he has no ties to either the Martial Sect or the Holy Sect, then..."
...
Meanwhile, an old man stuck to Xue Feng like glue, which annoyed him. Xue Feng looked around and eventually found a middle-aged man standing not too far away from him.
The middle-aged man's name was Chen Wu, and he was one of the Martial Sect's elders.
Xue Feng saluted and said, "Elder Chen Wu."
Chen Wu glanced at Xue Feng and asked, "What does the Xue Clan want from me?"
Xue Feng handed over Ye Guan's portrait to Chen Wu and asked, "I'm just here to ask a question, Elder Chen Wu. Is he a sect member of the Martial Sect?
Chen Wu stared deeply at the portrait before shaking his head. "No."
Xue Feng's face darkened.
"What's wrong?" asked Chen Wu.
Xue Feng's expression was grim as he explained, "He attacked our clan’s heir, and then he pretended that he's a sect member of the Martial Sect."
Chen Wu squinted, "He really did that? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm absolutely sure!" Xue Feng hurriedly said, "I wouldn't have come here to ask for permission if he hadn't done that."
"How bold!" Chen Wu chuckled and said, "He's daring enough to pretend like he's one of our sect members. It was a bold and interesting move in my opinion. He's got my curiosity earlier, but now, he's got my attention.
Xue Feng stared deeply at Chen Wu and declared, "I'm taking my leave, then, Elder Chen Wu. We've already confirmed that he's not a sect member of the Martial Sect, after all."
Chen Wu nodded and said, "Go ahead and leave."
Xue Feng bowed lightly and walked out of the hall. Once he was outside, his expression twisted into an ugly grimace. Damn it, he had been had! He was so furious that he felt like exploding.
Boom!
Xue Feng stomped and reappeared in the air before transforming into a streak of light that rushed somewhere else. A monstrous and brutal aura seeped out of him; everything between heaven and earth seemed to tremble beneath his aura alone.
...
A purple-robed young man entered the great hall of the Martial Sect after Xue Feng's departure. He bowed toward Chen Wu and greeted, “Master.”
Chen Wu said, “A representative of the Xue Clan claimed that someone has pretended that they're a member of our Martial Sect."
The purple-robed young man froze and muttered, "They pretended like they're a sect member?”
"Yes." Chen Wu smiled and asked, “What do you think?”
The purple-robed young man's reply came a bit late as he said, “The Xue Clan is not daring enough to deceive us, so they must be telling the truth. However, those bold enough to pretend like they're a sect member all had extraordinary backgrounds.
"It must be the same for our pretender this time."
"You got it right." Chen Wu nodded and said, “I think so, too.”
The purple-robed young man looked at Chen Wu and asked, “Do you want me to go and take a look?”
Chen Wu nodded.
“All right.” The purple-robed young man bowed and turned around to leave, but Chen Wu called out to him.
“Tian He! What are you going to do once you've found him?" asked Chen Wu.
Tian He pondered briefly before saying, “First of all, I'll investigate the truth behind the surface. Why did he pretend like he's a member of our sect? I'm also going to check if he had committed evil while using us as their backer.
"Lastly, if he was forced to pretend like he was a sect member of the Martial Sect or risk dying, then it's fine. I'll take a look at him, and if he is talented enough, I'll invite him to become a sect member of the Martial Sect."
