Chapter 384: Yang Clan Meeting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the depths of the void, in an unremarkable corner.
With a flash of light, the figures of Yang Potian, Yang Yan, and Qin Jue appeared. This place was cold and sinister, without any spirit qi. No cultivator was willing to approach.
“Rip!”
After confirming that there was no aura of life in the surroundings, Yang Potian raised his hand and lightly waved it, setting up a barrier. The void in front of him immediately began to distort violently, forming a passageway with a diameter of ten meters. It was filled with a mysterious feeling.
Yang Potian led Yang Yan and the others through the passageway. A tremendous change suddenly occurred in front of their eyes as they entered another world.
At the same time, the passageway slowly closed and disappeared.
This world was created by Yang Potian when he established the Yang Clan. Not only was it extremely vast, but the spirit qi was also extremely dense.
Over the hundreds of thousands of years, as Yang Potian’s cultivation continued to grow, this world also continued to expand. At this point, it was no longer inferior to the previous Heavenly Palace.
At this moment, in the Yang Clan Sacred Hall.
Yang Potian sat high on the throne and looked down at the three people kneeling on the ground. No one could tell what he was feeling right now. There were also many elders beside him who had all reached the True God Stage.
As soon as he returned, Yang Potian gathered the clan for a meeting and dealt with Yang Yan and the other two in front of all the higher-ups of the Yang Clan.
“Yang Yan, do you know your crimes?” Yang Potian glanced at him and said indifferently.
“Yes. Patriarch, please punish me.”
Yang Yan admitted his mistake very quickly. However, hesitating for a moment, he said, “But this matter has nothing to do with Yang Gang and Yang Men. I hope Patriarch doesn’t implicate them. I will bear all the punishments alone.”
“Bear all the punishments alone?”
Yang Potian sneered. “If I were any slower, would you all have survived? How are you planning to bear the punishments?”
“…”
Yang Yan opened his mouth but was speechless.
Yang Potian continued, “Hmph, you disobeyed my orders and put the clan in danger. According to the clan rules, you should be executed!”
Hearing this, the elders were shocked and shouted in unison.
“Patriarch, you can’t!”
“First Elder and the others didn’t do it on purpose. Patriarch, please reconsider!”
“Patriarch…”
“…”
In an instant, all the elders knelt down to plead for Yang Yan and the others, incomparably anxious.
One had to know that during the time that Yang Potian was in seclusion, Yang Yan had completely taken charge of the Yang Clan. Whether it was strength or status, he was only inferior to the patriarch, Yang Potian, and was respected by countless experts of the Yang Clan.
In addition, because the Yang Clan never interfered in the affairs of the outside world, there were almost no internal struggles. The elders had very good relations, so how could they just watch Yang Yan and the other two be executed?
Seeing this, Yang Potian frowned and said, “Yang Yan, on account of your many contributions to the clan, I’ll spare your life for now.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders heaved a sigh of relief.
“However… you will have to spend the next thousand years in the Spirit Restriction Tower.” Yang Potian added.
To high-level cultivators, a thousand years was actually nothing. However, the Spirit Restriction Tower was a place that the Yang Clan specially used to punish clansmen who had committed crimes.
As the name suggested, there was no spirit qi inside the Spirit Restriction Tower and one could not cultivate there. To a True God Stage expert like Yang Yan, living for a thousand years inside was simply a form of torture.
“Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch.” Yang Yan said respectfully.
This time, no one begged for mercy. The thousand-year-old confinement was clearly Yang Potian’s bottom line. If they continued to plead, it would only backfire.
“As for Yang Gang and Yang Men…”
Yang Potian looked at the other two. “You know that Yang Yan has done wrong, but you didn’t stop him. You’re accomplices. After your injuries recover, go to the Spirit Restriction Tower and stay there for five hundred years.”
“Yes!”
The two of them lowered their heads and accepted their punishments.
“Do you have any objections to your punishments?” Yang Potian said meaningfully.
“We wouldn’t dare.”
The three of them shook their heads.
“Heh heh, as expected.”
As if seeing through their thoughts, Yang Potian sneered. “You guys were probably very displeased when I asked you to kneel and apologize to that divine artifact, right?”
“…”
The three of them were silent.
Indeed, they originally thought that after the patriarch appeared, they could hold their heads high. Unexpectedly, the situation became even more depressing. However, because of Yang Potian’s strength and status, they did not dare to say anything.
After all, besides being the patriarch, Yang Potian was also their ancestor.
“Do you know who you’ve provoked?” Yang Potian asked with a smile.
“We don’t know.”
The three of them were stunned for a moment before they became curious.
Could it be that the other party had a great background? Or could he be from a hidden clan like them?
“I don’t know either.”
Yang Potian shrugged his shoulders.
“…”
“But it’s precisely because I don’t know him that I am more afraid of him.”
Yang Potian said faintly, “That divine artifact is clearly only a lower realm True God Stage expert, but it can fight the three of you at the same time. What do you think makes this possible?”
“…”
The three of them blushed and were too ashamed to speak.
It was simply humiliating for the three of them to almost be wiped out.
Hearing this, the elders’ faces were filled with shock. They only knew that Yang Yan and the other two had broken the clan’s rules and fought with the experts of the outside world, but they did not know that it was actually three against one!
It was fine if it was Yang Gang and Yang Men. They were all newly-advanced True God Stage experts and had yet to completely stabilize their strength for the past hundred years. However, Yang Yan was a peak lower realm True God Stage expert, a super expert only inferior to Yang Potian in the Yang Clan. Yet, even he could not defeat the divine artifact?
“Even a divine artifact is so powerful, let alone its master?”
Yang Potian said seriously, “The reason why I asked you to kneel and apologize is because I can’t see through that youth’s cultivation!”
“What?!”
Everyone was shocked.
If even Yang Potian could not see through the other party’s cultivation, then how powerful was he?
“Could it be that he used some secret technique to hide his cultivation?” Someone whispered.
“Yeah, right.” Another person chimed in.
Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Potian directly denied, “Impossible. As long as he’s weaker than me, he will definitely be unable to escape the prying eyes of the ‘Heavenly Flint Demon Eyes’.”
The Heavenly Flint Demon Eyes was the divine ability that Yang Potian was most proud of. With this divine ability, he could see through everything in the world, especially spirit energy. If it lost its effect, the only explanation was that the other party’s cultivation was above his.
“…”
Everyone fell completely silent. Yang Yan and the others displayed lingering fear all over their faces. The grievance in their hearts disappeared, and they were no longer displeased.
Yang Potian was very satisfied with the elders’ reaction, so he struck while the iron was hot and ordered, “The clan meeting is over. From today onwards, if anything similar happens again, no matter who it is, I will kill him without mercy!”
“Yes!”
“…”
After a long while, the elders left, and the Yang Clan Sacred Hall regained its calm. Only Yang Po Tian was left alone.
“Looks like I still have a long way to go…” Retracting his gaze, Yang Potian clenched his fists and muttered to himself.
Every time he thought that he was going to be invincible, an even stronger existence would jump out and shatter the pride in his heart.
Fortunately, Yang Potian was cautious enough to survive.
Of course, it was also because of this that Yang Potian became more and more cautious, forming a cycle.
“This time, I must step into the God King Stage!”
Taking a deep breath, Yang Potian’s figure flashed and he entered seclusion again.
