Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1516: Chapter 79 Our Anye is Also Qualified to Compete for the Immortal Scripture_3

“Young Prince Yun, this is merely one subjective conjecture made by you. With so many people present, everyone is a suspect. How can you be certain that it was my family’s Qingyun?” Wei Dongyu spoke coldly, “In my opinion, it’s more likely that Dongqian is behind this. Otherwise, why was the lightning similarly unwilling to strike him? Moreover, it’s clear as day that he is the one who has gained the most benefits from this matter.”

“Hmph, you old fool.” Ji Yueer’s expression turned icy as she retorted angrily, “What status does our family’s Young Master Anye have to warrant such slander from you?”

“It is but a speculation. Since Young Prince Yun can speculate, am I, an old bag of bones, not entitled to my own suppositions?” Wei Dongyu was clearly not one to be trifled with, deftly excusing Wei Qingyun from culpability with a few words.

Yun Tai’an’s expression turned somewhat awkward.

He was acutely aware that the incident must have been orchestrated by Wei Qingyun, but in reality, he had no tangible evidence. The intense Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud would have disrupted the heavenly secrets, rendering ordinary time reversal objects incapable of discerning the truth of the matter.

Unless the Immortal Emperor herself intervened, discovering the truth of what happened would be exceedingly difficult.

“Brother Yun, there’s no need to fret,” Wang Anye calmly advised, “We both have our own opinions about the matter. We just need to be more careful in the future.”

“Brother Anye, I am truly grateful to have you.” Yun Tai’an expressed his gratitude with a clasped fist, “If it weren’t for your help with the final bolt of heavenly lightning, I would have likely perished on the spot. After you finish dealing with the Ji family’s matters, you must visit my Chaoyang King Mansion as a guest.”

“Certainly, certainly,” Wang Anye responded in kind.

“Humph!” Wei Dongyu added, “A loss is a loss. But would Dongqian please return the Tree of Fortune to us.”

“Hehe~” Wang Anye scoffed coldly, “Is the Tree of Fortune your family’s property? You imprison the Tree of Fortune using evil methods, draining its essence from time to time and committing such cruelty. Instead of self-reflection, you still wish to abuse it? You should ask if it is willing to return to the Wei family.”

“Yii ya hey yii yi ya ya!” The Tree of Fortune roared angrily, then wrapped itself tightly around Wang Anye in a manner that said, “I do not wish to go to the Wei family, I will follow you.”

“Brother Wei, I don’t have evidence for other matters and am not in a position to comment, but the imprisonment and abuse of the Tree of Fortune were indeed excessive on the part of your Wei family,” Yao Yuangang said with a frown, “Now that the Tree of Fortune is free, if it does not wish to return, it’s better not to force it.”

In fact, Yao Yuangang was perfectly clear in his mind.

He knew Yun Tai’an’s character all too well, and he believed what Yun Tai’an said. However, without evidence, it was not appropriate to openly accuse anyone, but leaving the Tree of Fortune behind to trouble the Wei family was necessary.

“Giggle~” Ji Yueer also giggled, “Old man Wei, since the Tree of Fortune wishes to stay with our Young Master, if you want it back, you’ll need to get past this lady first.”

“Humph!”

Watching Yao Yuangang and Ji Yueer, Wei Dongyu’s expression turned extremely unsightly.

He would be at a disadvantage in a two-against-one fight.

He understood that with his power alone, it would be difficult to retrieve the Tree of Fortune today. This whole endeavor was a classic case of losing the lady and the troops.

“A long road lies ahead, and my Wei family will certainly not let this matter rest,” Wei Dongyu declared tersely.

Without any further words, he waved his hand, and an overwhelming surge of energy enveloped Wei Qingyun as they soared into the sky with impressive momentum.

“Yii ya yii ya!” (The villain has finally left!)

The Tree of Fortune excitedly rubbed against Wang Anye non-stop, seeming overjoyed, and even gave a distant gesture towards the direction of Wei Dongyu’s retreat.

“Congratulations to Young Master Anye, not only for winning the Sword Array Codex but also for the substantial gains,” Ji Yueer floated down and congratulated with a bow.

The stronger and more potential the Wang family she followed, the safer her own future, and naturally, she was also pleased in her heart.

“I relied entirely on Ji Tribute’s support this time,” Wang Anye thanked with a bow, then added, “During the time I inherit the Codex, please take care of the Tree of Fortune for me.”

“It is part of Yue Er’s duty, why would you need to worry, Young Master?” Ji Yueer readily agreed.

After entrusting the Tree of Fortune to Ji Yueer, Wang Anye bid farewell to Yun Tai’an and Yao Yuangang, while Jiqianqian went to take care of her great-grandfather, “Ji Yanxiu.”

After completing these tasks, Wang Anye then set about the task of inheriting the Sword Array Codex with full concentration.

He opened his Spiritual Platform, and the Sword Array Codex immediately fluttered into it, followed by a period of refinement and integration.

At the same time, the “Heavenly Earth Essence” that had been accumulating over many years within the Codex and filled to the brim, flowed into Wang Anye’s body as smoothly as divine nectar.

The core of the Codex was split into two parts; one part was crafted from the Wu Dao stone mixed with other materials, containing the Codex’s Cultivation Method and the insights of past generations.

The other part, refined from Spiritual Objects, served as an energy storage that could absorb Heavenly Earth Essence and store it within the Codex for the next inheritor. Of course, depending on the quality of the Spiritual Objects used, the total capacity for storing Heavenly Earth Essence would vary.

Together, these two parts supported each other, and neither could be dispensed with.

Typically, a Codex would take three to four thousand years to fully absorb Heavenly Earth Essence, but being full meant overflow; therefore, the Sword Array Codex didn’t store much more Heavenly Earth Essence than a standard Codex.

But for Wang Anye, this was more than enough.

The “sweet rain” he received from the Heavenly Tribulation had already elevated his Bloodline from Ding Grade Celestial Genius to Class C. Now, under the nourishment of the rich and warm energy that emanated from the Codex, which felt as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring, his Bloodline Talent saw a rapid rise, soaring from Class C straight to Grade B!

This was the legendary “Second Rate Supremacy.”

If being a Ding Grade Celestial Genius meant immense potential and the possibility to challenge the Advanced Transcendent Void Realm in the future, then the Second Rate Supremacy represented a wholly different concept.

With a Bloodline Talent at this level, Wang Anye was completely qualified to compete for the legendary Immortal Scripture!
