After hearing what Zhang Shouyi said, everyone was stunned and began to feel anxious inside.
The elder hurriedly asked, "Sect Leader, are you certain? Is it really the War God of Dragon Country? If he is the War God, it represents the major battle zones of Dragon Country. The battle zones are not weaker than the Inner Hidden Sects, and they are not something we can provoke. Although Wendao Sect is closely related to our Dragon Spring Mountain, it is also not something we can afford to provoke. If we offend the battle zones for the sake of Wendao Sect, it would not be a trivial matter. Our Dragon Spring Mountain could very likely face the same fate as Wendao Sect and be obliterated by the War God!"
Zhang Shouyi nodded, "Indeed, Ye Feng, the War God, is extremely powerful. A few years ago, I met him once, and his strength was incomparably formidable. I couldn’t withstand even one of his moves. Clearly, his strength has reached the transformational stage, achieving the legendary Divine Realm!"
"Divine Realm!" everyone gasped, their faces turning pale, "We can’t afford to offend him, a Divine Realm alone is enough to annihilate our Dragon Spring Mountain!"
Zhang Shouyi felt a terrible headache, "This is where I am helpless. The message on the Communication Talisman stated that the Phoenix Soul has fallen into Ye Feng’s hands. The Phoenix Soul is of great importance; we must retrieve it!"
"Phoenix Soul!" Everyone gasped again, feeling conflicted and deeply depressed.
Both Dragon Spring Mountain and Wendao Sect were well aware of what the Phoenix Soul represented, the secret to immortality.
They had rumors in Dragon Spring Mountain and Wendao Sect that obtaining the Phoenix Soul would grant immortality.
The temptation of immortality stirred their hearts.
"No, no, we cannot offend the War God, a strong being of the Divine Realm is not something we can provoke!" The elder was very rational. He knew clearly that with their current strength, it was merely like moths to the flame.
Even if they had many warriors at the Legendary Realm, they would definitely not be a match for a Divine Realm warrior.
As you know, Wendao Sect and Dragon Spring Mountain have a thousands-year heritage, yet the number of true Divine Realm warriors does not exceed the number of fingers on one hand. These outer hidden sects have almost been over three hundred years without producing any Divine Realm warriors.
They were well aware of the huge gap between Divine Realm warriors and Legendary warriors.
"The elder is right. Divine Realm warriors are not something we can provoke. If the Phoenix Soul has been obtained by the War God, so be it," the other elders nodded in agreement.
"No! Ye Feng is no Divine Realm warrior!" Just then, a person walked in.
"Who is that!" The elder and the others were taken aback, their eyes showing surprise. They were all Legendary Realm warriors, but when this person entered the Heavenly Master Hall, they had no clue, which greatly astonished them.
There stood a middle-aged man dressed elegantly, with sharp eyes and star-like brows, his aura not any lesser than Dragon Spring Mountain’s Sect Leader, Zhang Shouyi. The middle-aged man, with a gentle expression on his face, said, "I am Shangguan Qingyun, the Family Master of the Shangguan Family, and I greet all the Heavenly Masters."
"Shangguan Qingyun!" Everyone was surprised, they did not expect Shangguan Qingyun to appear here.
The Shangguan Family was one of the most powerful Hidden Families, and Shangguan Qingyun, as the family master, was a Legendary Great Perfection realm warrior.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingyun said, "Everyone, you have overestimated Ye Feng. He is not of Divine Realm strength!"
"Nonsense! Family Master Shangguan, I have fought with Ye Feng before, and I couldn’t even withstand a single move, how can you tell me he is not of Divine Realm cultivation?" Zhang Shouyi frowned as he looked at Shangguan Qingyun.
Shangguan Qingyun smiled slightly, "Ye Feng was indeed a Divine Realm warrior before, but not anymore. Everyone, please look!"
Then, Shangguan Qingyun took out a projector, turned it on, and an image appeared.
In the image, there were two people, one was the Sect Leader Qingyun Heavenly Master of Wendao Sect, and the other was Ye Feng.
"There’s no mistake, that is Ye Feng, the War God of Dragon Country!" Zhang Shouyi said.
"He’s so young!" everyone was shocked, they couldn’t understand how someone so young could be the War God of Dragon Country, making everyone quite surprised.
Following that, the image showed Ye Feng and Qingyun Heavenly Master fighting, with Qingyun Heavenly Master dominating, continuously forcing Ye Feng to retreat.
At last, the image collapsed, and there was nothing more.
The frame that was shown was when Ye Feng had consumed the Killing Intent Pill, defeating Qingyun Heavenly Master, and after that, the image was lost.
"Everyone, this is American technology, recorded secretly by miniature robots. As you can see, Ye Feng was no match for Qingyun Heavenly Master. In the end, he only defeated Qingyun Heavenly Master after consuming that strange medicinal pill. As for the later scenes, due to the strong aftermath produced by their fight, it shattered the robot and was not fully recorded.
But from this, we can determine that Ye Feng is no longer a Divine Realm warrior!" Shangguan Qingyun explained.
"It’s impossible! I had exchanged blows with him before, and he indeed was a Divine Realm warrior!" Zhang Shouyi said.
Shangguan Qingyun spoke, "At that time, Ye Feng was indeed Divine Realm, but there has always been a saying circulating among the high ranks of Dragon Country’s battle zones, that War God has been harboring severe injuries that have never healed. Now it seems the rumors are true. As long ago as eight years, Ye Feng had severe injuries left from fighting with an American Divine Realm warrior and the eight Legendary Perfection warriors.
Over the years, he has gone through tens of thousands of battles, his injuries worsened severely, and from the battle scenes, it can be seen that Ye Feng only had the strength of the peak of the Legendary level in the end. He only successfully defeated Qingyun Heavenly Master using that medicinal pill!"
"Family Master Shangguan, what’s your intention in telling us this?" Zhang Shouyi asked with a frown.
"It’s simple. Ye Feng believes that no one in the Shangguan Family can challenge him, he killed our family elder and imprisoned the descendants of our house manager. Naturally, I need to kill him to avenge them. Over the years, Dragon Spring Mountain has also been suppressed by..."
