4318 Three Monsters From the Same Faction

Huangfu Meng Yuan used to be this generation's leader of the Myriad Laws Academy's Inner Palace faction. She was the faction's first member, and she was also the strongest person in the faction. It was not surprising that she was still considered the leader of the faction even after her departure.

Huangfu Meng Yuan was also the one who found Hong Yi Feng, Yang Yu Chen, and Lang Chun Yuan; who were monstrous prodigies, and brought them to the Inner Palace faction. Not only that, but she also guided them in their cultivation journey. As such, the trio had a very close relationship with her.

The supreme powerhouse from the Nangong clan said with a faint smile, "Her reputation precedes her. In fact, she's more famous than some of our God Defying World's supreme powerhouses in the Outer Boundary. Most of us are looking forward to the day that she becomes a supreme powerhouse as well. Many of my descendants idolize her as well. Alas, they can't compare to her at all."

A hint of disappointment could be heard in the supreme powerhouse's voice when he spoke.

After a brief moment, the supreme powerhouse bluntly said, "I'll give you fragments of prime divine artifacts in exchange for their lives. What do you think?"

Upon hearing these words, the crowd gasped. They were shocked that the supreme powerhouse was willing to give up five fragments of prime divine artifacts in exchange for Nangong Liu Yun and Ning Xiao Xiang's lives.

Before Yang Yu Chen spoke, Hong Yi Feng said with a smile, "Senior, you're too courteous. Very well, we'll consider this matter over."

Following that, Hong Yi Feng said to Yang Yu Chen through Voice Transmission, "Third Junior Brother, let this matter go. Five fragments of prime divine artifacts are good compensation. Moreover, he took the initiative to compensate us. If we were to ask for compensation, even if he agreed, we'd look greedy. Moreover, he might hold a grudge and make things difficult for Eldest Senior Sister in the Outer Boundary."

Yang Yu Chen said, "Third Senior Brother, there's no need to explain this to me. How could I not understand? However, this old geezer is really cunning. He deliberately offered us five instead of six fragments of prime divine artifacts. Clearly, he's hoping to drive a wedge between us."

A slight sneer could be seen on Yang Yu Chen's face near the end of his words.

Hong Yi Feng replied with a smile, "That's possible. However, it's also possible that he only has five fragments of prime divine artifacts with him now."

Since it was just a projection, the number of items a supreme powerhouse could carry with them was limited.

After conversing with Yang Yu Chen, Hong Yi Feng turned to look at the huge face in the sky and agreed to the suggestion.

"Very well," the supreme powerhouse said with a nod.

Subsequently, five fragments of prime divine artifacts appeared out of thin air before a wave of energy brought them over to Hong Yi Feng.

At the same time, Nangong Liu Yun and Ning Xiao Xiang exchanged a look before they quickly left the place.

"The Myriad Laws Academy's Inner Palace faction is full of outstanding prodigies. Not only is Huangfu Meng the strongest advanced Supreme God in the God Defying World, but Hong Yi Feng, based on the strength you displayed, you're also the strongest intermediate Supreme God in the God Defying World. There's also your junior brother, Duan Ling Tian, who's the strongest rudimentary Supreme God in the God Defying Word. The Inner Palace faction is truly remarkable," the supreme powerhouse said with an emotional sigh before his projection disappeared.

…

The onlookers had never heard of the Myriad Laws Academy's Inner Palace faction until now. Through the supreme powerhouse from the Nangong clan, they learned that Hong Yi Feng and Yang Yu Chen, along with their Eldest Senior Sister who was the strongest advanced Supreme God in the God Defying World, were members of the Inner Palace faction. However, when the supreme powerhouse said that Hong Yi Feng was the strongest intermediate Supreme God in the God Defying World, they were not very surprised. After all, they had seen how strong he was earlier.

"Wait, there's also Duan Ling Tian!"

"Heavens! So Duan Ling Tian is also a member of the Inner Palace faction?"

"Duan Ling Tian is the strongest rudimentary Supreme God in the God Defying World. I didn't expect that he's also from the Inner Palace faction!"

"What kind of place is the Myriad Laws Academy's Inner Palace faction? How come the faction has so many monsters?"

"The faction has three powerhouses who are the strongest among those with the same cultivation bases. There's no doubt that Hong Yi Feng and Duan Ling Tian are the strongest among their respective peers. As for Huangfu Meng Yuan, since the supreme powerhouse had said so, she's undoubtedly the strongest advanced Supreme God in the God Defying World! She must be terrifyingly strong!"

…

While the crowd discussed among themselves, Hong Yi Feng looked at Yang Yu Chen with a hint of excitement in his eyes. Based on Yang Yu Chen's reaction, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was truly a member of their Inner Palace faction.

"Third Junior Brother, let's go," Hong Yi Feng said. Despite his excitement, he knew this was not the right place to ask questions. He would have to find a remote place to speak to Yang Yu Chen. Although there were no bounties on their heads now, since they had exposed their capabilities, it would not be long before the others, who hoped to rank in the overall ranking, targeted them.

"Alright," Yang Yu Chen replied. He naturally shared the same thought as Hong Yi Feng.

When the duo left, a few advanced Supreme Gods stared at them but did not follow them. They were not confident about defeating Yang Yu Chen; who was a top intermediate Supreme God, let alone Hong Yi Feng; who was acknowledged as the strongest intermediate Supreme God in the God Defying World with strength comparable to powerful advanced Supreme Gods.

…

Hong Yi Feng and Yang Yu Chen flew away at top speed. After making sure no one was following them, they finally landed on the peak of a mid-sized mountain that was standing among lofty mountains.

After landing, Hong Yi Feng's eyes burned with curiosity as he looked at Yang Yu Chen and asked, "Third Junior Brother, is Duan Ling Tian really our junior brother? Did you recruit him to our Inner Palace faction?"

Yang Yu Chen nodded and said with a smile, "I brought him to our Inner Palace faction more than 100 years ago. With that, our junior sister has become a senior sister."

Hong Yi Feng laughed heartily before he said, "Good job, Third Senior Brother! You're more capable than me in this regard. In the past, I wanted to recruit one or two juniors, but there weren't many suitable candidates. I didn't expect you to successfully recruit such a monstrous prodigy! However, I'm curious as to why he joined our faction. Are the prime supreme-rank forces blind?"

In Hong Yi Feng's opinion, a monstrous prodigy like Duan Ling Tian should be highly sought after by prime supreme-rank forces. For this reason, he did not understand why Duan Ling Tian ended up in the Myriad Laws Academy's Inner Palace faction.

Yang Yu Chen shook his head and said, "Second Senior Brother, when junior brother joined the faction, he wasn't even an Emperor of Gods."

Hong Yi Feng was stunned by Yang Yu Chen's words. When he recovered after a few moments, he asked in shock and disbelief, "Didn't you say he only joined our faction about 100 years ago? You mean he…"

Before Hong Yi Feng finished speaking, Yang Yu Chen nodded and said, "That's right. He only became an Emperor of Gods and a Supreme God after joining our Inner Palace faction. He's stronger than all of us at his age. Even Eldest Senior Sister's cultivation speed in the past is inferior to his."

Yang Yu Chen sighed before he recounted Duan Ling Tian's experience after joining the Inner Palace faction.

"Junior brother is truly a monstrous prodigy," Hong Yi Feng said, delighted, after listening to Yang Yu Chen. However, a worried expression soon appeared on his face before he said, "Third Senior Brother, based on your description of our junior brother, he doesn't seem like someone who doesn't know when to retreat. He should have left the advanced chaotic region once he found out how dangerous things are, right?"

Yang Yu Chen did not have the answer to this question. After all, the rewards for the top three places in the overall ranking were too lucrative. Based on Duan Ling Tian's obsession with growing stronger, he had a feeling that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Duan Ling Tian would not give up easily even if the situation was extremely dangerous.
