Chapter 2679: Chapter 2671: Threw Out My Back

Facing Yi Jue’s aggressive stance, Yuan Wuwen furrowed his brows and braced himself to respond, "This isn’t the Yuan Family’s territory, but..."

"Shut up!" Yi Jue interrupted him without courtesy, "If this isn’t the Yuan Family’s territory, how dare you impede me? Get lost!"

The difference between having confidence and lacking it was evident; she directly ignored the myriad Nascent Souls opposing her attack formation, scolding them without restraint.

The Yuan Family’s Nascent Souls and Golden Cores immediately became restless—when had the Yuan Family been bullied like this?

However, Yuan Wuwen’s mindset was different. While he had established an attack formation, it didn’t necessarily mean he would attack the other party, just that upon encountering them, he wanted to first suppress their aura.

No matter what, they had at least nine Nascent Souls on their side, and the interceptors he brought might indeed not be sufficient.

Of course, the opposing party was a temporary team, a hodgepodge, unlike the Yuan Family’s cultivators who stood united. If it really came to a fight, he had some confidence that they wouldn’t suffer too much loss, possibly even gain an advantage.

The only worrisome variable was the Nascent Soul High Stage cultivator from the Higher Realm.

So, he adopted an aggressive stance to ascertain the true capabilities of this cultivator from the Higher Realm.

The Flying Boat from the Artifact Refining Path... admittedly rare, but a mere Flying Boat couldn’t intimidate the Yuan Family.

Then he realized their sheer ruthlessness, casually elevating a level of cultivation on the spot, commanding him to "get lost."

Those who dared to do this in front of numerous Yuan Family cultivators were either genuinely impressive or were pretending.

But Yuan Wuwen could instantly and genuinely sense: this one wasn’t pretending, they were genuinely impressive.

However, being told to get lost just like that was impossible; he took a deep breath, raised a hand respectfully, and slowly spoke.

"Respectfully informing the Dao Brother from the Higher Realm, the Yuan Family doesn’t obstruct without cause. To inform the Dao Brother, the matter of the Heavenly Curtain is jointly managed by the Yuan Family, the Huo Family, and the Tongda Commerce Alliance. With the Dao Brother proceeding as such, the Yuan Family dares not forcibly obstruct; we request the Dao Brother to reveal your background and origins!"

You’re asking us to make way, and that can be discussed, but you have to reveal your identity so we know who you truly are, right?

Yuan Wuwen initially came aggressively, but now his attitude seemed more proper—after all, the Yuan Family is one of the prominent forces in the Amber Realm; they can’t just retreat on a single command.

Yi Jue, however, sneered coldly, "I’d better not leave my roots; is the Yuan Family prepared to become dust?"

The words sounded outrageous, yet they held truth. Dare a clan from the Lower Realm forcibly block an elder from the Lingzhi Sect... if Lingzhi Sect genuinely wanted, it wouldn’t be impossible to wipe out the Yuan Family unhindered.

Yuan Wuwen’s face changed upon hearing this. As a Nascent Soul High Stage, how could he not foresee certain possibilities?

He was tempted to ask—could the Dao Brother be an elder of the Seven Gates Eighteen Paths?

But in the end, he didn’t voice the question, simply waving his hand silently, ordering his disciples to make way.

Seeing them making way, Yi Jue said nothing, swiftly returning to the Flying Boat and continuing on their journey.

After their departure, a disciple of the Yuan Family expressed anger, "That scoundrel was extremely arrogant, so disrespectful to the Yuan Family; why didn’t the Great Supreme command us to fight to the death?"

Yuan Wuwen dismissed it with a wave, calmly stating, "The Heavenly Curtain is originally jointly managed by three families, why should the Yuan Family face risks alone? We’ve blocked once, that’s responsible enough... let’s see how they decide."

Every clan that survives over time possesses survival wisdom. The opponent immediately warned of "becoming dust," even if it might just be bluffing, Yuan Wuwen wouldn’t let the clan risk such immense danger.

Do you really think he’s seated as the Great Supreme of the clan just because of a high cultivation level? Don’t jest; it’s because he possesses enough wisdom and knows how to make choices; combat strength is just a small part of the equation.

Regarding the current performance being anticlimactic, losing face for the Yuan Family? Clans that stand long, who really cares about face?

The survival of the clan is the priority; the so-called face is nothing more than an excuse to intervene or bully other cultivators.

Furthermore, in Yuan Wuwen’s heart, there’s a strong sense: that Kun cultivator is definitely an extraordinary existence, can’t provoke!

He has already tested the other party’s capabilities, and they’ve been let through; whether the alliance of the three families wants to provoke remains not his concern.

The response of the Yuan Family cultivators need not be mentioned; as for the Flying Boat team on the journey, it was similarly silent, though the sentiments were far from calm—the insights Yuan Wuwen sees are not much different for others.

Everyone pondered what kind of Big Boss they’ve associated with this time... and eventually, how much they could profit from it?

As for disturbing Yi Jue? That’s something nobody dares to do, although someone did want to attempt to connect with Feng Jun, only to find this guy’s arrogance matches that of the Nascent Soul level cultivator.

The journey proceeded smoothly, and after a day and night, the flying boat arrived at the destination, then rushed straight to the Nine Heavens Fierce Wind Layer.

When the flying boat ascended to over five thousand kilometers above ground, the Nine Heavens Fierce Wind was already quite fierce, causing the Nascent Soul level flying boat to crackle loudly, while the spirit stones powering the shield quickly diminished.

"Let’s go," Yi Jue wrapped Feng Jun and exited the flying boat, then conveniently put it away, "That’s the Heavenly Curtain."

Two hundred miles away, amidst the fierce wind, there was an exceptionally smooth space, about one mile square, resembling a giant curtain.

Not far away, there were four or five cloud-like magical treasure platforms and a huge palace, all capable of withstanding the Nine Heavens Fierce Wind, with approximately two to three hundred cultivators aboard, mostly above the Golden Core level.

Behind Yi Jue, cultivators from several flying boats also exited, releasing defensive magical treasure platforms.

Feng Jun ignored the people behind him, choosing instead to carefully observe ahead, among those cultivators, he indeed spotted Biyun True Immortal.

Upon seeing their group arrive, a tall, slender figure approached, who was also Nascent Soul Ninth Layer.

He clasped his hands towards Yi Jue and spoke in a deep voice, "Huo Xingyu greets this fellow cultivator, may I ask what brings you here?"

"Sword Cultivator?" Yi Jue’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, sensing the concealed sharpness within him, yet... that was all there was to it. Despite the combat prowess of Sword Cultivators, sect practitioners hold a psychological advantage over clan practitioners.

She nodded and spoke in a deep voice, "I’ve heard that the Amber Realm has a Heavenly Curtain event, so I came to witness it... don’t worry, I have no interest in competing for those meager resources, it would be beneath me."

"Uh," Huo Xingyu’s prepared words were suddenly stuck in his throat. They’d received Yuan Wuwen’s notification, knowing a higher realm cultivator was en route to the Heavenly Curtain with several Nascent Souls, extremely overbearing, likely a sect elder.

The three forces had discussed this and reached a consensus: no matter who she was, she couldn’t be allowed to enter the Heavenly Curtain easily; revealing her background was essential, and there might even be a confrontation.

This was Tianqin’s rule, when a treasure appears, whoever grabs it first owns it, everything depends on strength.

The reason Yuan Wuwen was scared away by Yi Jue was because he blocked her not on his family’s territory; this could be seen as a provocation against the Lingzhi Sect Elder.

However, at the Heavenly Curtain, Huo Xingyu blocking Yi Jue was perfectly justified, although it wasn’t Huo family’s territory either, once a treasure appeared, they occupied early, so if an outsider wanted to intervene, a confrontation was normal.

Even if elders from the Seven Gates and Eighteen Paths came, so what? If you’re trying to take my things, can’t I resist?

Although Tianqin’s cultivators rely on cultivation levels to speak, there’s also plain and simple logic, differentiating between good and evil.

Yet Huo Xingyu never imagined the other party would respond with "came to witness it."

Moreover, the conduct was indeed that of a sect elder, straightforwardly expressing—compete for resources? It would be beneath me!

No harm intended, somewhat insulting, yet, isn’t that exactly a sect elder’s manner?

Huo Xingyu was momentarily stunned, then raised his hand in a salute, speaking seriously, "The Heavenly Curtain’s unusual phenomenon is indeed worth witnessing; Amber Realm cultivators also welcome higher realm fellow cultivators... may I ask how you’d like to be addressed?"

"There’s no need for you to ask," Yi Jue replied faintly, her face still expressionless, "As Tianqin’s extraordinary phenomenon, all fellow cultivators have the right to observe... I’m not going inside for resources, why interrogate my background?"

This... makes perfect sense! The phenomenon is everyone’s, I’m not going for the resources inside, can’t I look?

Huo Xingyu couldn’t say she was wrong, so he could only continue awkwardly, "Fellow cultivator’s words are indeed sensible, however, the numerous Nascent Souls behind you... shouldn’t you give me an explanation?"

Yi Jue frowned, showing some impatience, "I’m willing to communicate with you, but that doesn’t mean you have the authority or qualification to question me, nor do I have the obligation to explain... they insisted on following, go ask them yourselves, why ask me?"

"This fellow cultivator," the market manager couldn’t help but call out loudly, "You asked me to bring you here."

"I didn’t know where the Heavenly Curtain was, so I asked you to bring me here," Yi Jue glanced at him lightly, "As for others... did I ask you to invite them?"

She thinks like a recluse, her actions very self-centered, not considering others’ feelings, but the answer was quite precise.

"But..." the manager was somewhat dumbfounded, pondering before speaking, "But you also didn’t object."

"Why should I object?" Yi Jue looked at him puzzled, "Though I’m from the higher realm, I have no authority to interfere with whatever you do so long as you don’t affect me... why should I meddle unnecessarily?"

The accompanying cultivators fell silent after hearing this. Goodness... Your logic is indeed extraordinary.
