Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 202: Ancient Fairy

After leaving the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, Ye Tianling arrived at Ten Thousand Swords City, just outside the Myriad Swords Sect.

He used the Turtle Breath Technique and the Hidden Dragon Technique to alter his appearance, so he had no fear of being recognized.

Ye Tianling’s powerful Soul Talent activated on its own. The moment he entered the city, he was flooded with information.

This news had clearly caused a massive stir, one that would not likely die down anytime soon.

Ye Tianling’s expression remained calm as he listened quietly.

"Who would have thought! The descendant of the Four Great Dragon Clans, born with their combined talents, was so innately flawed with a Double Void Body. And yet, he could still activate his Divine Blood and slay the Heavenly Escape Saint Son!"

"And that chasm in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range... it was like a strike from a Sword Dao god. A true strike of the Divine Dao—the Divine Sword Dao! To think it was that terrifying, even if it was just a single attack!"

"It’s a shame that a Double Void Body prevents one from Stepping into the Void. Otherwise, that Great Demon Ye Tianling could have been a true Unparalleled Divine Son."

"Heh, a Great Demon so arrogant and wicked is just asking to be killed! It’s only a matter of time! Serves him right for getting crippled!"

"Some Dragon Race Divine Child. It was just the power of a single drop of Divine Blood. Otherwise, how could a punk with such a low Realm possibly slay the Heavenly Escape Saint Son?"

"I heard that after the news got out, Elder Long Fengyan of the Cyan Dragon Race—Long Tianxiao’s father—has already put out the word to capture Ye Tianling. A piece of trash like that, who drains Dragon Blood and destroys Dragon Souls, has probably long since gone into hiding. He wouldn’t dare show his face now. If he did, he’d be dead for sure!"

"Elder Long Fengyan is an Elder, after all. Why would he need to act personally against a Great Demon who’s already been crippled? Long Tianxiao’s younger brother, Saint Child Long Tianyao, has already set off for the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to finish that Great Demon off for good!"

...

All sorts of discussions revolved around these major events.

A chill went through Ye Tianling’s heart. Upon hearing the name ’Long Tianyao’, his mood turned somber.

Ye Tianling directed his senses to the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower between his brows. Inside the tower, the Blood Coffin remained.

The Demon Heart Sword Body clone within the Blood Coffin, which held the Power of Slaughter from his Great Success Emperor Qi Sword Body, still had about one-tenth of its power reserves left to unleash.

’If I activate it and combine it with the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword’s Path of Slaughter...’

Ye Tianling was fairly confident he could severely injure, if not kill, Long Tianyao. The gap in power between Long Tianyao and Long Tianxiao was vast.

Long Tianmo had mentioned this to Ye Tianling before, but he hadn’t expected the news of him killing Long Tianxiao to spread so quickly.

Ye Tianling walked through the bustling streets, listening to the excited, agitated, and amazed chatter of the cultivators, his own feelings a complex mix.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his expression turning a few shades colder.

"The Dragon Emperor Saint Master of the Cyan Dragon Race has just proclaimed to the world that in three days, he will hold a ceremony to adopt Emperor Cangqian, Ye Cangqian, as his son! He will also pass down the Dragon Race’s core talent and ultimate technique—the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique!"

"Emperor Cangqian is rumored to have already awakened the Desolate Ancient Celestial Forbidden Talent. He is a true Celestial Mandate Divine Son."

"Emperor Cangqian will now become the Cyan Dragon Race’s future First Divine Child and its core figure."

"The Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Four Great Dragon Clans will all follow his lead!"

A cultivator exclaimed with immense excitement, his tone fervent and amazed. As he spoke, his expression flickered with shock, awe, and envy.

"Everyone is coming to pay homage! This is a true pilgrimage! In three days, the Saint Masters of all the major Sect Holy Lands will gather at the Cyan Dragon Race to offer their congratulations."

"That’s right! Long Fengyang has already announced that on that day, he will wed the two Saintesses, Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling, to Long Cangqian! He’s having them perform Yin Yang Harmony to help Long Cangqian unlock his Celestial Forbidden Talent and activate his Taotie Divine Blood!"

"I heard that Saintess Lin Yuchan was from the previous generation and was expelled from the Dragon Race for some reason. But now, Long Fengyang is using the Ancestral Dragon’s Legacy to force her return to the Cyan Dragon Lineage. As for her disciple, Ye Yueling... rumor has it she was... assaulted by Ye Tianling. Now *that*... makes things interesting!"

"Heh, funny how they intentionally poured resources into cultivating someone, only to create a piece of trash. Then, without even trying, they stumble upon a true Divine Child. On one hand, you have the mongrel cripple, Ye Tianling. On the other, the Celestial Mandate Divine Son, Long Cangqian."

"That Ye Tianling had Divine Blood, but he didn’t even get to be arrogant for a few days before he was crippled. How pathetic. Trash is trash, after all. You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!"

"Haha, isn’t that the truth? I bet in three days, some expert will capture Ye Tianling and execute him right in front of Long Cangqian to finally satisfy his hatred."

"Now that would be a sight to see! Hahaha! The only problem is, I doubt that Ye Tianling will even live another three days!"

...

The waves of gossip rose and fell, one after another.

After everything he’d experienced in the Ten thousand Beasts Mountain Range over the last three months, Ye Tianling felt as though the entire world had changed.

Long Fengyang’s actions, in particular, made him sneer inwardly. He even felt the urge to charge straight into the Cyan Dragon Race’s territory and start killing.

But for the sake of saving Long Tianyu and Long Tianmo, he suppressed the impulsive thought.

’Three days... That’s not even enough time to get to the Cyan Dragon Race.’ 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Silence! What do any of you know? You’re just spewing utter nonsense. It’s disgusting!"

A girl of about fifteen scolded them, her voice chillingly cold.

"My, what a feisty little girl. *We* don’t know what we’re talking about? Then please, enlighten us! What is it that *you* know?"

"Hahaha, she probably knows how to go from a girl to a woman."

Another old man beside him chimed in with a similar jeer.

His tone was lewd and utterly disrespectful for a man his age, and his words immediately drew a wave of boisterous laughter.

Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent detected the scene from afar, and he looked over in the direction of the voices.

In a teahouse nearly two thousand meters away, a young woman in purple robes confronted two old men. A fight seemed ready to erupt at any moment.

’Fu Jiuxin?’

’Jin Xietian?’

As Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent spread out, he almost instantly identified the two old men.

He hadn’t seen them in three months, and their Realms hadn’t improved much. They were still at the Sword Soul Third Heaven Realm.

This was a Realm that had once forced Ye Tianling to flee for his life. Now, a mere flicker of his killing intent would be enough to annihilate them both instantly.

When Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent extended to the girl in purple, it suddenly became ineffective.

Yet, in the instant it failed, Ye Tianling sensed a strangely familiar aura, as if he was supposed to know this young woman.

Ye Tianling channeled his Soul Talent into his eyes and looked closely at the young woman’s face.

At one glance, Ye Tianling’s eyes lit up. ’This girl... it’s Ancient Fairy!’

She had obviously concealed her true features, and her concealment technique was so masterful that she looked completely ordinary, like any other common girl.

"You two! That Ye Tianling, at the very least, was able to slay Long Tianxiao. So how can you call him ’crippled’? By your logic, if Ye Tianling is a cripple, what does that make Long Tianxiao? He was the former First Saint Son of the Cyan Dragon Race. Are you saying all the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Cyan Dragon Race are trash?"

"And another thing—with your level of skill, do you think you could kill Long Tianxiao, even if you were given a mountain of Divine Blood?"

"You’re just a bunch of old fools who are all talk and no action!"

The girl was clearly fuming with indignation.

Her cheeks, puffed out in anger, were actually quite adorable.
