Chapter 0628: Birth of Demon Xing Palace
He looked at the shattered pieces of the huge hammer scattered on the ground, and suddenly changed the subject.
"The War God's strength, I admire it. However, this Thunderbolt Hammer is one of the treasures of my Thunderbolt Sect. The War God has shattered it; I think there should be an explanation to our Thunderbolt Sect, shouldn't there?"
Bo Yuanzi's gaze slightly focused on Ye Qingfeng, his tone neither warm nor cold, revealing neither anger nor the slightest hint of amusement.
"An explanation?"
Ye Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently, "I, Ye Jiujie, have always acted this way; why do I need to explain to anyone?"
"This hammer has been crushed by me. If you are not satisfied, your Thunderbolt Sect is welcome to come find me. I'll accompany to the end!"
The five people, Yang Tainan and others, all showed anger at these words. It was clear that Ye Qingfeng did not take the Thunderbolt Sect seriously. They were all disciples of this sect, so how could they accept seeing their sect being so underestimated?
But in front of Bo Yuanzi, they dared not express their anger, having no right to speak.
Bo Yuanzi's gaze paused on Ye Qingfeng for more than ten seconds, contemplating in his mind, and after a moment he replied.
"The War God has misunderstood, what I mean by explanation is not to make an enemy of you!"
He shook his head and spoke loudly, "The War God's strength is incredible; even something as hard as the Thunderbolt Hammer can be easily destroyed by you. How could our Thunderbolt Sect dare to blame the War God for this? But the Thunderbolt Hammer is, after all, the property of our Thunderbolt Sect. I hope the War God can do us a favor, so I can give the sect an explanation!"
"A favor?" Ye Qingfeng said indifferently, "Feel free to speak openly, I don't like to beat around the bush!"
"Very straightforward indeed!" Bo Yuanzi suddenly clasped his fists toward Ye Qingfeng and said earnestly, "I hope the War God can promise me that when my Thunderbolt Sect falls into hardship, you can lend a hand to save my Thunderbolt Sect!"
"What?"
The five people, including Yang Tainan, were momentarily stunned, with a look of disbelief.
In their hearts, the Thunderbolt Sect was of such great esteem, with numerous masters within, and no less than five top-level experts like Bo Yuanzi overseeing it. It was extremely strong, so how could it fall into hardship and need help from others?
"Oh?" Ye Qingfeng glanced at Ye Gang, seeing the doubt in his eyes.
"There are rumors that Bo Yuanzi's status within the Thunderbolt Sect is quite special. If he asks you for help in the future, things might not be simple!"
Ye Gang said in a deep voice.
Ye Qingfeng nodded slightly, smiling indifferently.
"Why should I promise you? Just because I shattered your Thunderbolt Sect's treasure?"
Bo Yuanzi's gaze slightly narrowed, but he showed no displeasure.
"If the War God is unwilling to agree, I dare not force it. I will explain the Thunderbolt Hammer's damage to the sect, and no one will pursue this matter further!"
Ye Qingfeng showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, expecting Bo Yuanzi to use the Thunderbolt Hammer as leverage, but after refusing, Bo Yuanzi did not insist and simply moved on.
"Interesting!" He grinned wide, "A seasoned elder over a hundred years old certainly sees things clearly!"
In the next moment, he nodded lightly, "Alright, I promise you, if the Thunderbolt Sect is in difficulty, I'll offer my assistance!"
Bo Yuanzi had thought this would be hopeless, but hearing Ye Qingfeng's answer, he immediately showed joy.
"Haha, the Invincible War God honors his words. I thank you in advance!"
He repeatedly clasped his fists, even bowing slightly, appearing overjoyed.
"Since there's nothing else, we'll take our leave. When you need help, you can send someone to find me at the Yanjing University Department of Grass Science!"
Ye Qingfeng waved his hand and pulled Ouyang Liluo away. As they reached the garden gate, he suddenly turned back.
"Also, regarding my information, I don't want anyone leaking it out. I am someone who enjoys peace!"
Bo Yuanzi nodded solemnly, "Rest assured, War God, I guarantee that everyone here will keep silent about today's events!"
Lian Zhirou understood in her heart that if the news of Ye Jiujie attending Yanjing University's grass science department got out, who knew how many peerless women would flock to catch a glimpse of his unparalleled grace. At that time, Ye Qingfeng might be troubled to no end.
Ye Gang cupped his hands to bid farewell to Bo Yuanzi, who extended his hand in return to see them off.
"Take care, everyone!"
Ye Qingfeng and his party gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, yet no one moved, as if still in a dream.
Bo Yuanzi, like a feather, lightly landed on the ground, with one hand gripping Yang Tainan's wrist, Spiritual Power emanating.
Feeling the serious injuries within Yang Tainan, Bo Yuanzi felt a renewed heaviness in his heart.
"Such domineering power!"
Yang Tainan looked extremely weak, with an expression of guilt, "Master Bo, Bu Fan's defeat today is a shame to the sect!"
Bo Yuanzi gently shook his head, "Bu Fan, don't mind this matter. Ye Jiujie's combat strength is indeed beyond your league!"
On the side, Dan Juhai couldn't help but question out of confusion, "Master Bo, why seek Ye Jiujie's help? Our Thunderbolt Sect is so strong—how could we encounter hardship?"
Bo Yuanzi glanced at the few of them and sighed.
"The Thunderbolt Sect's strength is actually just a facade. Within the Ancient Martial Sects, we are merely a second-rate sect!"
"The sect isn't precisely united as it is, you should know this. A half-month ago, your master forcefully attempted to break through to the War Emperor Realm and ultimately failed, resulting in serious injury. It will likely take a year or more before he can restore his Primordial Energy!"
Yang Tainan and the five were shocked upon hearing this.
Their master, Dao Xuzi, was the current sect master of the Thunderbolt Sect and considered the most powerful person in the sect.
Nobody had expected Dao Xuzi to forcefully attempt to break through to a higher War Emperor Realm and to end up heavily injured in failure.
"I came today to inform you of this matter. I did not expect to encounter Ye Jiujie here to reclaim his woman!"
Bo Yuanzi lamented.
"Master Bo, even if Master is injured, aren't there you and the other three uncles? Your strength is not much less than Master's. Why should our Thunderbolt Sect seek help from outsiders?"
Gong Li suddenly interjected.
"Originally indeed so, but a few days ago, we received a piece of news, which is a fatal blow to our Thunderbolt Sect!"
Yang Tainan and the five's faces changed dramatically, simultaneously thinking of something.
"Could it be?"
Bo Yuanzi heavily nodded, "The Demon Punishment Palace has emerged!"
In an instant, expressions froze on their faces, filled with fear and shock.
"How could this be? Are they planning to forcefully break the pact?"
Yang Tainan exclaimed.
Bo Yuanzi's eyes showed thick dread as he said in a heavy voice, "Yes, a peerless genius in control of 'Heavy Slaughter' has emerged in the Demon Punishment Palace. Under his lead, one of the three great sects allied with us has already been destroyed."
The five looked at each other in horror, fear rising in their eyes little by little. This news was like a thunderbolt to them.
"Master Bo, if the Demon Punishment Palace truly emerges, even with Ye Jiujie's help, will it be of any use?"
Qin Xingmang said gravely.
