On the right side, over a dozen middle-aged men from the True Dragon Clan in gray robes held back their anger.

Ye Xie continued:

"Senior Huangfu, this Fang Yu is truly unreasonable, and I'm not sure what method he used, but he even took away your son's Holy Artifact and abolished his cultivation. This matter... no matter what, cannot end like this."

Upon saying this.

On the surface, Huangfu Wencai appeared calm, but within, a fierce fire had long been ignited. Remembering the humiliation suffered in front of Tiandu Palace, he wished he could level the entire Tiandu Mountain.

But he knew no matter how great his anger, it was useless.

Everything depended on his father's disposition.

So, he calmly said:

"That Fang Yu even said... said that he does not regard the True Dragon Clan or the True Phoenix Clan in his eyes."

The atmosphere grew oppressive again.

"He also said that I must agree to his three conditions before he would let me go. First, do not acknowledge my marriage alliance with the Holy Daughter; second, from now on, the True Dragon Clan must walk around him when they see him; third, he wants me to abolish my own cultivation! At the time, eight protectors of the True Phoenix Clan had already been killed, and the other disciples with low cultivation were not his match either. To preserve my life, I used a delaying tactic and temporarily agreed to him... A great man can bend and stretch; if I didn't do this, the rightful bloodline of the True Dragon Clan would be cut off immediately, and it would be impossible to see each of you again... Father!! Wencai has suffered such humiliation, please seek justice for me!"

These words made everyone's faces look grim.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

Especially the more than ten protectors and several elders from the True Dragon Clan.

"Huangfu Changcun has something to say..." One person stood up, cupped his hands, and said.

"Speak." Huangfu Zhan waved his hand.

Huangfu Changcun fixed his gaze, with a hidden killing intent, his back straight... but his posture was very respectful, word by word he said, "This person has humiliated my True Dragon Clan, truly despicable! Our True Dragon Clan has stood upon this continent for countless years, never before suffering such insult. His Highness the Holy Son is our clan's rightful bloodline, the guarantee for a continuing lineage; for the future of our clan he has borne such weight, even losing his cultivation for it... I believe, this person must be exterminated! I am willing to lead the elite of our clan to flatten Tiandu Mountain! To wash away this disgrace!"

"Yes! Wash away the disgrace!"

"Wash away the disgrace!"

"Wash away the disgrace!"

The passion was high, a unity never before seen.

At this time, another person stood up on the right side.

Everyone seemed to respect him greatly and quieted down thoughtfully.

Huangfu Zhan glanced at the person and said, "Huangfu Shu, what is your opinion?"

This Huangfu Shu, is the strategist of the True Dragon Clan.

In the past eight thousand years, many decisions were discussed with Huangfu Shu by Huangfu Zhan, and it was because of him that the True Dragon Clan avoided many dangers and difficulties in the Secret Realm.

In eight thousand years, Huangfu Shu played an extremely core role in the Secret Realm.

Within the entire True Dragon Clan, Huangfu's status was almost equal to that of His Highness the Holy Son Huangfu Wencai!

Thus, as soon as he stepped out, everyone stopped talking and quietly watched him.

Huangfu Shu nodded to Huangfu Zhan, turned around, went to His Highness the Holy Son Huangfu Wencai, and asked, "First of all, revenge is certain. But before that, there are a few questions I want to understand..."

"Your Highness the Holy Son, how was your Holy Artifact taken?" Huangfu Shu asked softly.

Everyone heard this question.

Then suddenly remembered that His Highness the Holy Son had a Holy Artifact with him, and the Holy Son himself is a master of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm. Under such circumstances, even if he was defeated, how could the Holy Artifact be taken!

A Holy Artifact is higher than a Spiritual Artifact; it already possesses a spirit. Knowing it was outmatched, it would sense danger and immediately return to its master's Qi Sea!

Huangfu Wencai was shocked, as the scene of that moment floated up in his mind—

"He had a strange sword in his hand, which I assumed was also a Holy Artifact. That Holy Artifact was very peculiar. After Mysterious Moon Emperor Wheel experienced the sword light's washing, suddenly a cluster of seven-colored brilliance appeared, fleetingly disappearing. Then, I no longer felt the presence of Mysterious Moon Emperor Wheel!"

The entire room was abuzz.

So, the opponent had a Holy Artifact.

Immediately after.

Huangfu Shu asked again, "Your Highness the Holy Son previously said that he killed eight protectors of the True Phoenix Clan with one sword, isn't it?"

"Yes," Huangfu Wencai answered.

The room was shocked again.

Huangfu Shu nodded, turned to Huangfu Zhan, and softly said, "Everyone heard... It is clear that the one called Fang Yu has very high cultivation and possesses a Holy Artifact! The power of a Holy Artifact I will not elaborate upon, each of you knows better than I... Him killing eight masters of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm with one sword implies his strength is very likely to be at the Infinite Level!"

Infinite Level!!!

Everyone's faces changed slightly.

Infinite Level, meaning only Huangfu Zhan could compete with him... Within the entire True Dragon Clan, only Huangfu Zhan is an expert at the Infinite Level.

Ye Xie from the True Phoenix Clan is merely a Star Level expert, a whole tier below Infinite Level.

Huangfu Changcun snorted coldly, "Sir, you are undermining yourself to boost others' morale! It was also said earlier that he possessed a Holy Artifact. Holy Artifacts can enhance by at least one major rank... Saying Infinite Level is somewhat exaggerated. The Clan Leader has trained in the Secret Realm for eight thousand years, using all sorts of Heavenly Treasures, and is merely Infinite Level... How could a modern person in a Spiritual Energy-thin society possibly cultivate to Infinite Level? I think... at most he is Star Level!"

Huangfu Zhan's face paused, and he said in a deep voice, "Changcun, do not be disrespectful!"

Huangfu Changcun immediately cupped his hands and said, "Subordinate knows his mistake!"

He was inherently a straightforward person. He rarely thinks before speaking; what does using Heavenly Treasures and barely being Infinite Level mean. But... what he said about Fang Yu using a Holy Artifact to slay eight Heavenly Mechanism with one sword did catch everyone's attention.

Thus calculated, if Fang Yu is a Star Level powerhouse, possessing a Holy Artifact allows for confrontation with Infinite Level. If he is Infinite Level, combined with the Holy Artifact... wouldn't even Huangfu Zhan be no match, how would others seek revenge or wash away any disgrace?

Just after he finished speaking.

Huangfu Shu continued:

"You also mentioned, he is a modern person... Then the question arises, as a modern person, without sufficient Spiritual Energy and not many Heavenly Treasures, how did he cultivate to this level, even if only Star Level..."

Huangfu Changcun was momentarily speechless.

Huangfu Shu continued:

"Is he a monster? Is he a reincarnation of an Immortal from the sky? Or has he received the favor of Heaven? As far as I know... across the entire Jiangzhou, let alone larger cities in Huaxia combined, before the Spiritual Energy resurgence appeared, becoming a Martial Artist was thrilling, Cultivators were even more rare, most Cultivators having endured from the era of Spiritual Energy's collapse, such as the Five Great Divine Palaces, the Three Divine Sect, and smaller sects under each major sect..."

"So... by what means exactly did he cultivate to this level?"

The room was utterly silent.
