Chapter 789: Chapter 789: I am very satisfied with the gift!

The next moment, the Overlord Peak was pierced by countless golden feathers, turning him into a human porcupine. With overwhelming unwillingness, he collapsed in a pool of blood.

What in the world is going on? I came to Jingnan Prefecture to establish a branch for the Demon Wolf Cave. How could I lose my life here just because I took on a minor task on a whim? How utterly pathetic.

Even at the moment of his death, this top-tier Silver Wolf Assassin never understood why this was his fate.

The Immortal Gourd devoured his opponent’s Spiritual Energy, converting it into Spiritual Liquid. With a wave of his hand, Yang Qi incinerated the corpse.

「Sea City.」

Upon receiving the news, Wu Heng trembled from head to toe.

"They’re dead. All the assassins from the Demon Wolf Cave were killed. Even the Overlord Peak sent to establish the branch in Thunder City is dead."

"It must have been the boss of the Star Shining Society again! This is bad. We absolutely cannot let him find out we were behind this. We have to get on his good side right now. Let’s send him a treasure. That should also help drive a wedge between him and Yang Qi."

The Wu Family patriarch was also scared out of his wits. This boss of the Star Shining Society is too terrifying, killing even an Overlord Peak. No wonder he was able to kill Old Master Wei. All they could do now was try to win him over. If they could get him on their side, Yang Qi would no longer be a threat.

"But what kind of gift should we send?" Wu Heng frowned. "This boss is a Martial Arts expert. He won’t care about ordinary gifts at all."

"You have to be willing to lose the bait to catch the wolf," the patriarch said, clenching his teeth. "Since we want to win him over, we must offer a treasure that will truly tempt him. Doesn’t our family have a treasured Ancient Sword? Why don’t we give him that?"

"But Father, that Ancient Sword is a treasure our ancestors found! It’s said to have been recovered from an ancient tomb, and an ancestor of ours once earned the title of Sword King with it. You want to just give it away?" Wu Heng was reluctant.

"To us, that Ancient Sword is practically useless—just a symbol. We can’t use it. We can’t even draw it from its scabbard! So, what’s the point in keeping it?" the patriarch bit out. "If we can exchange it for the support of the Star Shining Society, we can definitely become the supreme rulers of Sea City."

Wu Heng nodded. "You’re right. If we give him the sword, he shouldn’t blame us even if we kill Yang Qi."

"Wu Xiu, go to Thunder City and give this sword to the boss of the Star Shining Society," the patriarch instructed. "It would be best if you could meet him in person, but if that’s not possible, giving it to Ye Feng to pass along is also acceptable."

"Understood, Grandfather. I will do my best to meet the mysterious boss," Wu Xiu said, taking the Ancient Sword and heading excitedly to Thunder City, where he met Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was initially very annoyed by Wu Xiu’s visit, but upon hearing he had come to offer a gift—an Ancient Sword, no less—he reluctantly agreed to see him. He then called Yang Qi for instructions.

"Heh, who turns down a gift? Accept it," Yang Qi chuckled. "But he wants to see me? It’s not time for that yet."

Ye Feng accepted the Ancient Sword and sent Wu Xiu on his way. Although disappointed, Wu Xiu couldn’t press the issue since the Star Shining Society’s boss was unwilling to see him, and so he departed.

After Wu Xiu left, Ye Feng brought the Ancient Sword to White Mountain Manor.

"Boss, this sword won’t come out of its sheath at all. It’s probably rusted shut," Ye Feng speculated. He had tried to draw it on the way but had failed.

Yang Qi simply smiled, took the Ancient Sword, and circulated his Spiritual Power. Suddenly, the sound of a dragon’s cry echoed as a dazzling light shot toward the sky. In that instant, Ye Feng’s eyes went wide in shock. The sword was breathtaking. The moment it was unsheathed, it radiated an astounding presence!

"Hahahaha! So it was you! I never expected to find you again under such unexpected circumstances," Yang Qi laughed boisterously.

The Dragon God Technique recorded the existence of a sword that was perfectly compatible with it: the Dragon God Sword. Yang Qi had often wondered when he might obtain this legendary weapon, never imagining the Wu Family would deliver it right to his doorstep.

The Dragon God Sword was three feet long. Faint dragon patterns were visible on its blade, and as it moved, the sound of a dragon’s cry emanated from it. The sword itself came with a Divine Skill—Dragon God Slash! Furthermore, the power of this Divine Skill would increase along with the cultivator’s Realm.

Time to test its power!

With this thought, Yang Qi went to a lawn at White Mountain Manor. Channeling his Spiritual Power, he unleashed a single slash. In that instant, the sky seemed to change color as wind and clouds churned violently. A divine dragon’s roar filled the air as a silver dragon erupted from the Dragon God Sword, surging forward. The next moment, everything in its path was obliterated.

BOOM!

As if the apocalypse had arrived, the lawn vanished, the walls disappeared, and the nearby grove of trees was gone. The entire area in front of him had been turned into a field of rubble.

Ye Feng stared, completely dumbfounded. Yang Qi himself was equally stunned.

I’m still too weak. A single slash drained all my Spiritual Power. Luckily, the Immortal Gourd is here to replenish it, or I would have fainted from the exertion. But its power is immense! Who could possibly withstand it if used at the right time? Never mind an Overlord Peak, even a First Rank Martial Spirit would likely be unable to endure the might of this sword. So tyrannical! Absolutely tyrannical!

"Congratulations, Boss, on acquiring such an incredible treasure!" Ye Feng exclaimed, his shock giving way to elation.

"Heh, the Wu Family finally did something right," Yang Qi smiled. "With this Dragon God Sword, my Combat Power has taken another steady leap forward."

Even without using the Dragon God Slash, wielding the Dragon God Sword to perform the Golden Thunder Slash or the Five Elements Sword Art would multiply their power several times over. If the Wu Family knew that their sword had ended up in his hands, he wondered if they would cough up blood from pure rage.

"Ye Feng, call the Wu Family. Tell them I’m very satisfied with this Ancient Sword," Yang Qi said with a smile.

What a vicious psychological ploy! Ye Feng thought to himself. "But... what about this place?" he asked, looking at the devastation.

"I’ll leave it to you to find someone to repair it," Yang Qi said. "I’ve secured plenty of investment for the Star Shining Society. The organization can cover this, right?"

"Of course, Boss."

Ye Feng accepted the order. He first called the Wu Family to convey Yang Qi’s attitude. The entire Wu Family was beside themselves with joy, immediately holding a banquet to celebrate. After all, if the boss of the Star Shining Society expressed fondness for their gift, didn’t that mean he was also pleased with the Wu Family itself? This would make it much easier for them to eliminate Yang Qi and become the number one family in Sea City.

Filled with jubilation, the Wu Family drank and reveled late into the night. It was a pity, though. If they knew their mysterious benefactor was none other than Yang Qi, they would probably spit out every last drop of the wine they were so happily downing.
