Chapter 893 -919: Half of White Cloud Mountain?
Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Yue Yingying’s face flashed with a smile that was not quite a smile as she looked at Yang Zhen and said, “Senior, under the same level of cultivation, the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword cannot defeat the Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword.”
Yang Zhen looked at Yue Yingying in surprise, her ice-cold face bearing a confident expression and speaking so seriously; if it weren’t that both the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword and the Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword were comprehended by Yang Zhen himself, he would have really believed her nonsense.
Seeing the embarrassment on Yang Chen’s face, Yang Zhen said with a smile, “Show me how you perform the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword.”
What in the world had he practiced to, that at the same level, he still couldn’t beat the Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword? Was it that the shadows had scared him?
If it were Yang Zhen, let alone the same level, even if it were two levels apart, the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword could still make the Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword cry.
Surveying the crowd, Yang Zhen curled his lips, signaling to Yang Chen that he could start now.
Yang Chen hesitated for a moment, then turned to glance at Li Ruxue before gritting his teeth and saying, “Fine!”
At this time, Duan Langcai crawled back from not far away, his face filled with angry shock as he watched Yang Zhen, looking outraged but not daring to speak out. Seeing Yang Chen then begin to perform the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword proper, Duan Langcai was instantly baffled and unsure of what was happening.
Yue Yingying glanced indifferently at Yang Chen, a hint of shock flashing across her face as she was evidently startled by Yang Zhen’s swordplay. She then huffed lightly and said, “I would like to see just what you can discern from merely seeing the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword performed once.”
Hearing these words, Duan Langcai’s face suddenly changed color, not sure why, but he suddenly remembered a legend from the Sword Servant Sect, a legend that involved his own biological brother, Duan Langcai.
Duan Langcai had once performed the Ghost Shadow Sword merely once in a cave behind the hills of Shangyuan Sect and some bastard named Yang Zhen had learned it.
No, Yang Zhen not only stole the Ghost Shadow Sword but also integrated and through a stroke of luck, comprehended the Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword.

This nearly impossible feat had caused the Sword Servant Sect nearly two years of not being able to hold their heads high until the sect leader Wan Quan suddenly comprehended the Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword, easing the situation.
The current situation seemed all too familiar, yet Duan Langcai couldn’t see, no matter how he looked, how this so-called senior before him could be like Yang Zhen, able to learn the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword after watching it once and furthermore elevate the martial skill to be on par with the Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword.
It was simply an impossibility.
Duan Langcai stealthily scrutinized Yang Zhen with disdain, growing more and more astonished the more he observed.
From any perspective, Yang Zhen was simply too young, so young that he was nearly the same age as them.
With such strength at this age, he had to be the heir of some Sacred Land.
For a moment, Duan Langcai felt like cursing.
Did these bastards from the Sacred Lands all love to play the pig to eat the tiger this much, isn’t it better to stay in the Sacred Lands and cultivate properly, than to show off their presence in front of ordinary people?
Duan Langcai gave Yang Zhen a disdainful look and then turned back to Yang Chen, by which time Yang Chen had already performed the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword once.
With his sword sheathed and standing erect, Yang Zhen had not yet spoken when Yue Yingying, frowning, stepped forward and said with a bow, “Senior, we are disciples from the Sword Servant Sect of the Nether State, and our Sect Leader Wan Quan is a mighty practitioner at the Divine Transformation Stage of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. Moreover, this is a grudge between our Sword Servant Sect and the Shangyuan Sect. We hope that you can be gracious and refrain from getting involved.”
Having said this, Yue Yingying seemed to feel that her plea was not entirely convincing, so she added, “The Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword is a martial skill unique to the Sword Servant Sect, which Shangyuan Sect has acquired by some despicable means. Our desire to obtain the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword is merely a case of returning like for like. If Senior abstains from interfering, we are willing to spare the lives of Yang Zhen and his companion.”
Not a leak to be found!
Yang Zhen looked at Yue Yingying, quite satisfied. Clearly, this woman was not as simple as a mere block of ice. Her words were watertight, and had anyone else heard them, they might have complied with Yue Yingying’s request and stayed out of the conflict.
After all, what Yue Yingying said was true. It was a grudge between the Sword Servant Sect and the Shangyuan Sect, and furthermore, Shangyuan Sect had “dishonorably” stolen the Sword Servant Sect’s Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword.
From any perspective, Yue Yingying and her companions seemed to occupy the moral high ground.
However, the group was unaware that Yang Zhen, until now, was technically still a disciple of the Shangyuan Sect.
Yang Chen glanced at Yang Zhen, noticed that he had not spoken a word, then turned with a loud laugh, staring at Yue Yingying, “Yue Yingying, spare us the act. You’re twisting facts beyond recognition. While the Three-Element Ghost Shadow Sword is indeed with the Shangyuan Sect, apart from Senior Brother Yang, no other disciples have practiced it. Under such circumstances, how can you accuse us of being dishonorable?”
At this point, Yang Chen burst into laughter and said, “The Sword Servant Sect’s ambition is nothing new, and everyone in the Nether State knows it. If you wish to annex the Shangyuan Sect, just say it outright. Why fabricate so many self-righteous excuses? Aren’t you tired?”
Yang Zhen was amused by the exchange and addressed Yang Chen, “That’s enough. In this world, might makes right. The Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword you practice has at least five flaws. I’ll accompany you back, and you can tell me what exactly happened here.”
“Not… not fighting anymore?” A peculiar expression flickered across Yang Chen’s face as he glanced at Yue Yingying.
Clearly, to Yang Chen and Li Ruxue, whether to fight or not at this juncture was not something they could decide.
Yang Zhen nodded without giving Yue Yingying and the others another look, “No more fighting. If someone is not convinced, they can come and find me.”
With that, Yang Zhen turned to Yue Yingying and instructed her, “By the way, tell that old fellow Wan Quan that in a few days an old friend will be visiting. He should arrange the sect’s cultivation methods and martial skills neatly, so I don’t have to search for them one by one, which would be troublesome for you and irritating for me.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of Yue Yingying and her companions revealed an absurd expression, which quickly turned to furious indignation.
They were five in number, yet Yang Zhen’s group had only three. Even if Yang Zhen could take on two, could he possibly take on three?
He wasn’t much older than them, yet he spoke with such audacity.
Yue Yingying took a deep breath; her sword suddenly burst into a mass of dark light. Under the convergence of the three elements, terrifying ghosts howled and wolves wailed as if during a night procession of a hundred demons, enveloping Yang Zhen, Yang Chen, and Li Ruxue.
A sly smile appeared on Yang Zhen’s face as he asked, “Are you sure you want to fight?”
Yue Yingying nodded solemnly and said, “Yue Yingying of the Sword Servant Sect boldly requests to learn from the Senior.”
Hum——!
A terrifying hum resounded, and suddenly a burst of fire wave erupted from within Yue Yingying, with the phenomenal phoenix cry echoing through the Ninth Heavenly Layer, causing the air in the midst of the sky to start twisting.
Yang Zhen watched in astonishment, and then had a sudden realization. This must be the release of that terrifying power sealed within Yue Yingying; in a desperate moment, it had finally been let loose.
Seeing the waves of fire surge in the sky, forming into a giant bird resembling a phoenix, Yang Zhen just showed an interested expression when Yang Chen suddenly screamed, “Senior, be careful!”
While shouting, Yang Chen raised his sword and rushed towards the sky, ready to stake his life, clearly intending to protect Yang Zhen and Li Ruxue behind him.
Yang Zhen pulled on Yang Chen’s collar with annoyance, dragging him down from the sky, and said, “What are you screaming for? A little bird has scared you into such a ghastly appearance?”
A… little bird?
After hearing what Yang Zhen said, Yue Yingying stumbled, her delicate face twisting with indignation as she stared at Yang Zhen and said, “Bastard, you’ve gone too far.”
Roar!
An earth-shattering roar came through, and the terrifying phoenix in the sky suddenly shone brightly, rushing towards Yang Zhen.
Yue Yingying staggered back, pale-faced and obviously struggling to withstand the terrifying impact of the phoenix, somewhat out of strength.
Duan Langcai and the others had excited and covetous looks on their faces, staring at Yang Zhen, with a hint of murderous intent at the corners of their mouths.
Yang Chen and Li Ruxue’s faces turned pale, horrified at the oncoming terrifying wave of fire, their faces filled with despair.
“Senior, this is the Companion Heavenly Fire power within Yue Yingying, it’s very strong, you… you should leave!”
Li Ruxue also hastily said, “Senior, be careful, this fire is fierce!”
Is it fierce?
Yang Zhen looked up at the raging phoenix, his clothes fluttering in the strong wind.
The waves of energy surged, yet Yang Zhen’s body did not move an inch, his eyes piercing as he looked up at the sky.
Hum——!
An invisible force spread out in all directions, with the rampaging phoenix in the sky bearing the brunt, it wailed and gradually dissipated, as if it had never existed.
A gentle breeze blew through!
The people from the Sword Servant Sect only felt a refreshing breeze on their faces, and their complexions turned pale uniformly, standing in a daze as if they were petrified.
Yang Zhen glanced at the dissipated Companion Heavenly Fire in the sky, no wonder the power was so strong, it was the Phoenix Heavenly Fire – Yue Yingying was quite the lucky one.
The Phoenix Heavenly Fire was on par with Yang Zhen’s own Netherworld Karma Fire and the Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire, all top-notch Companion Heavenly Fires, the stuff of many people’s dreams.
Seeing Yang Zhen turn and walk away, the stupefied Li Ruxue and Yang Chen suddenly snapped out of it, their faces full of disbelief as they looked at each other and then hurriedly followed.
“Senior, what was that power just now?” Yang Chen asked excitedly as he looked at Yang Zhen.
Clearly, with the realms of Yang Chen and his companion, they had not yet encountered such a power.
Even Yue Yingying wore a panicked expression, clearly, for them, this power was beyond their comprehension.
Yang Zhen did not answer Yang Chen’s question, but instead asked, “What happened to the Nether State mainland, where has White Cloud Mountain gone? And Qiyun Peak, I searched for a long time and didn’t find Qiyun Peak.”
Upon hearing the name White Cloud Mountain, Yang Chen and Li Ruxue’s expressions dimmed as they said, “Senior, you’re too late, White Cloud Mountain…”
Yang Zhen’s heart sank as he asked in a heavy tone, “What happened to White Cloud Mountain?”
Yang Chen’s face changed, and he hurriedly said, “Senior, White Cloud Mountain is not in big trouble, it’s just… just that most of it is gone!”
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in amazement, “What do you mean most of it is gone?”
Under the alternating explanations of Yang Chen and Li Ruxue, Yang Zhen’s expression became increasingly strange.
It turned out that the situation was not as bad as Yang Zhen had imagined.
White Cloud Mountain, although affected by the divide of heaven and earth, was not completely destroyed, but… was split in two.
When Yang Zhen arrived with Yang Chen and the others at the remaining half of White Cloud Mountain, it was indescribably odd.
It looked as if someone had cloven White Cloud Mountain in two with a sword, presenting a smooth cliff that mirrored the sky, with only a small part of White Cloud Mountain shrouded in mist. If it were not somewhat comical, it could even be considered a majestic immortal site.
“Who is still on White Cloud Mountain now?” This was what Yang Zhen cared about the most.
Since it was cloven in two, surely many disciples were left on it. As for the others, whether they were destroyed or swallowed by the chasm of heaven and earth remained unknown.
Yang Chen took a deep breath and said, “Only a few of us from the outer sect and the Great Elder are still there, the others…”
Yang Zhen’s heart gradually sank.
