The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 881: Chapter 882: Immortal Thunder Seed

The original plan was for Yuwen Heng to become the Sect Master of the Southern Spirit Sect. However, when Bai Xueqin arrived with Feng Chu, she directly stripped him of his leadership position, naturally causing his anger.

They were originally leaders of the Yuwen Clan, holding high positions. Upon coming to such a small place as Nanling, they were naturally unwilling to live under others. The position of Sect Leader was supposed to be his, but now Bai Xueqin has taken it away.

"Sorry, the Clan Leader has already issued an order."

Bai Xueqin threw a secret letter at Yuwen Heng, smiling as she said, "Take a look at it yourself. The Clan Leader said that if you aren’t willing to serve as the family guard, you can return to the clan by yourself."

Yuwen Heng took the letter and carefully read through it. It was indeed written by the Clan Leader. Not only was it specified that Bai Qingxue would serve as the Southern Spirit Sect’s Master, but there was also a mission. Yuwen Heng’s expression turned slightly surprised when he saw it.

"Yuwen Heng, since you have read the letter, you must have seen the mission. The Clan Leader has found out that the Heihun Guizhan Sword is in Nanling. Whoever finds it will certainly receive the Clan Leader’s reward. Are you planning to stay in Nanling to find the sword, or return to the clan?"

Bai Xueqin asked with a faint smile.

"Hmph!"

Yuwen Heng snorted coldly and sat back down.

"Alright, now I’ll announce some positions."

Bai Xueqin said calmly, "Former Elders of the Divine Wind Sect will serve as guards. Their position is just below that of the Sect Leader and Deputy Sect Leader. They have the authority to manage affairs of all sizes within the Southern Spirit Sect."

"Understood!"

The Elders nodded in agreement, without any objections.

"Good!"

Bai Xueqin nodded repeatedly, then took out a jade box from her Sumeru ring. It was radiating waves of energy, quite extraordinary.

"This is a reward given by the Clan Leader to Li Shenfeng. Since he hasn’t exited seclusion yet, I’ll show it now to indicate just how much the Yuwen Clan values your Divine Wind Sect. Only your Sect Leader can open this cloud box. Under no circumstances should you open it. If the treasure inside the jade box goes missing, none of you can bear Li Shenfeng’s wrath."

As Bai Xueqin spoke, she tossed the cloud box to an Elder.

The Elder, seeing this, made a pushing motion, causing the cloud box to float in midair and said, "I think we should place this jade box in the warehouse. I dare not accept this responsibility."

No one knew what was in the cloud box and the Elders certainly didn’t want to take such a risk.

"If that’s the case, Yuexiang, please take the jade box with these Elders to their warehouse. Store the cloud box inside and inventory the resources clearly."

Bai Xueqin instructed.

"Understood!"

Yuexiang replied, picking up the jade box and heading towards the Divine Wind Sect’s warehouse, led by several Elders.

"Little girl, can you sense what’s inside the jade box?"

Ye Mo, keeping his spirit continuously locked onto the jade box, immediately asked.

"Let me try!"

The little girl extended her spirit once more, directly probing into the jade box. The box had a layer of energy barrier, capable of preventing spirit detection, but the little girl’s Heart Cultivation Level had already reached the ninth rank, so the energy barrier couldn’t hinder her probe.

"What is this?"

Ye Mo was taken aback. Inside the cloud box, there was a black seed, about the size of an eyeball. Its entire body was like agate, with black electric patterns crisscrossing its surface.

"This is the Immortal Thunder Seed."

The little girl said in surprise, "This is an Immortal Thunder Seed, rumored to be the seed of Heavenly Thunder in the immortal world. If one can refine it, they would be able to grasp the power of Immortal Thunder. Li Shenfeng cultivates the lightning element, but why would the Clan Leader from the Yuwen Clan give such a precious item to Li Shenfeng?"

The Yuwen Clan is considered an old second-rate force in the Lingwu Continent, with a deep foundation, whereas Li Shenfeng is merely a Cosmos Realm expert, not even at the Wheel of Reincarnation level. There’s no reason for the Yuwen Clan Leader to favor him.

"In the Lingwu Continent, immortal traces occasionally appear. General people, even if they obtain things from the immortal world, can’t completely master them. But even grasping a part of its power far surpasses secular power."

Cai Ling added.

"The Immortal Thunder Seed might also be useful to me. Since they plan to store the seed in the warehouse, we can follow them in. Not only can we obtain the Immortal Thunder Seed, but we can also empty their Divine Wind Sect’s warehouse, leaving them short on resources."

With that, the little girl extended her spirit to track the Divine Wind Sect Elders and Yuexiang. Circling through winding corridors, they reached the depths of the Divine Wind Sect, where paths were lined with seals and restrictions. Any ordinary person following would be immediately noticed.

The little girl quickly noted the locations of these seals and restrictions, while continuing to track the group.

Soon after, they arrived at a Teleportation Array. The array was devoid of glow, and as the Elders waved their hands, it was activated, sending the group through.

The little girl silently noted the handprints required to activate the array and followed them through.

In the next moment, they were transported into a sealed pavilion. Inside sat an elderly man, in a meditative posture like an old monk in deep focus; however, Ye Mo could sense the aura of a Qiankun Sixth Rotation expert.

Yuexiang followed the Elders, prompting the elderly man to open his eyes and say, "This is the Divine Wind Sect’s warehouse. What brings you here? Without the Sect Leader’s command, the warehouse cannot be opened."

"Sect Leader? Divine Wind Sect is now renamed Southern Spirit Sect, and your Sect Leader Li Shenfeng is merely a Deputy Sect Leader. This is a treasure given to Li Shenfeng by the Yuwen Clan Leader. It’s extremely valuable, and if lost, no one can bear the blame. We are prepared to store it in the warehouse until Li Shenfeng retrieves it personally."

Yuexiang said calmly.

"Elder Wu, please open the warehouse."

An accompanying Elder suggested.

"Alright!"

Elder Wu, having no suspicions, waved his finger in the air, conjuring a key. The key changed shape rapidly, with thousands of variations, making it impossible for anyone to discern which was the actual key to open the warehouse.

A light flashed, and the key shot towards the light door on the second floor of the pavilion, instantly opening it.

"This Divine Wind Sect warehouse has so many traps and taboos, with a powerful guard too. However, I have noted them all down; when I come personally, I will certainly be able to unlock them one by one."

Ye Mo thought with shock, following the little girl’s spirit to continue exploring, entering the warehouse. It was filled with weapons, Pei Yuan pills, seals, and many jade scrolls and martial techniques placed on display shelves.

But these things didn’t stir Ye Mo’s interest much; he didn’t have time to check what specifically lay inside but aimed to see if any traps were in the warehouse.

Yuexiang then placed the jade box in the most concealed drawer, and the group left.

The little girl’s spirit followed them out and then quickly returned.

All four sat in meditation, unaware that Ye Mo had almost toured the entire Divine Wind Sect.

"Next, I’m going to empty your warehouse. When you discover your warehouse has been robbed, I wonder what expressions you’ll have."

It could be said that capturing Ye Mo had led Yuwen Heng to bring the mouse into the rice jar.
