Chapter 2121: The Secret of the Sword Clan’s Forbidden Land

"The so-called Divine Artifact is said to resemble both a sword and a knife, yet neither; no one knows what it truly is. However, it conceals the calamity of heaven and earth, and once controlled, it grants the terrifying Power of Heavenly Thunder and darkness."

"But such a Divine Artifact is incredibly difficult to master; one must endure the force of heavenly tribulation. To be honest, I might not be able to withstand it either. However, this artifact has attracted countless people’s attention, such as from above the Nine Heavens or Atlantis. Many covet this Divine Artifact."

As Ye Tiannan spoke, a series of gasps resonated from the crowd.

"Does such a Divine Artifact indeed exist in this world? What exactly is this Heavenly Secret of Unmatched Sword Child?"

Someone couldn’t help but ask.

Ye Tiannan shook his head, "I don’t know exactly either, but it’s definitely terrifying to the extreme. Whoever can control it will hold the greatest advantage in the new order. They might even sweep through everything!"

"Is it really that terrifying?"

"Isn’t that too frightening? Can one Divine Artifact ignore all the powerful?"

The crowd was astonished, their faces full of disbelief.

"Then why doesn’t the Tang Sect keep this Divine Artifact for themselves?"

Xu Xiangwan asked.

This was the question many others were wondering as well.

Why would the Tang Sect, with such a horrifying artifact, open the Shushan Conference instead of using it themselves?

"First, even with the Mechanism Techniques, no one in the Tang Sect can control this Divine Artifact. Secondly, the secret has also been known to those above the Nine Heavens. Therefore, the Tang Sect simply used it to open the Shushan Conference."

Ye Tiannan explained.

Xu Xiangwan looked at Ye Tiannan and asked, "Sword Child, what do you need us to do?"

"The Sword Clan has naturally been invited as well! However, this Shushan Conference is only open to those under thirty, so you should go to Xishu first. See your own fortune; if you can obtain a Divine Artifact, it counts as one. As for the Heavenly Secret, I’ll personally attend to it."

Ye Tiannan said.

"Sword Child, understood!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

The Sword Clan ultimately selected ten geniuses to attend the Shushan Conference, with Ye Chenfeng among them.

It was Ye Tiannan’s deliberate arrangement...

"Brother, you head to Xishu first, I’ll arrive shortly."

Ye Tiannan urged.

Ye Chenfeng looked at him strangely, "Do you have other matters?"

"Yes, that’s right. There are other matters to handle."

Ye Tiannan’s gaze seemed evasive.

Ye Chenfeng increasingly found him strange, always feeling he was up to something mysterious.

Ye Chenfeng initially wanted to follow Ye Tiannan, but Xu Xiangwan moved in to stay with him, becoming inseparable.

Moreover, Ye Chenfeng could sense many eyes watching him from outside, seemingly displeased with him.

After all, seeing a Fairy Goddess serving as a slave for someone, how could they be happy?

"Sword Child, you need to prepare well, we will head to Xishu tomorrow."

Xu Xiangwan couldn’t help but remind him.

"Alright! By the way, has your Unmatched Sword Child shown any unusual behavior? When I knew him before, he wasn’t like this. I’m curious about what happened to him."

Ye Chenfeng asked.

Xu Xiangwan looked at Ye Chenfeng quizzically and then said, "I heard the Sword Child changed greatly due to practicing the Sword Clan’s supreme Swordsmanship, but I’m not privy to the specifics."

"Swordsmanship? Right..."

Ye Chenfeng suddenly remembered the terrifying Sword Intent left at the Lingnan Ye Family residence.

Now connecting it to Ye Tiannan practicing a terrifying kind of Swordsmanship, he believed what Ye Tiannan said was true.

The Lingnan Ye Family and Gu Menghan were killed by Ye Tiannan...

Could this be the legendary familial-killing proof of Dao?

However, it’s different; although Ye Tiannan’s temperament changed, he hasn’t lost his rationality and is very aware of everything happening, knowing exactly what he’s doing.

Ye Chenfeng could feel this.

With such rational behavior and value for affection, it’s impossible to kill relatives and a fiancée.

There must be more to the story...

"By the way, he mentioned going to handle an important task, do you know what it is?"

Ye Chenfeng asked.

"This important task is actually the ultimate mission of the Sword Clan, and only each generation’s chosen Sword Child knows what it is."

Xu Xiangwan replied.

"So you’re saying the Sword Child was chosen to complete this ultimate mission?"

"Yes, it’s to complete this ultimate mission. Therefore, in the Sword Clan, the Sword Child’s power is immense, even surpassing the Clan Leader; I’ve even seen the Sword Child defeat the Clan Leader."

Xu Xiangwan recounted, with clear apprehension in her eyes.

Reminded of something, Xu Xiangwan couldn’t help but ask, "May I ask, were you friends with the Unmatched Sword Child before?"

"Yes! I miss those times — laughter and conversation. Now everything has changed."

"No wonder you and Unmatched Sword Child have such a good relationship; he even arranged the identity of Sword Child for you."

Xu Xiangwan laughed.

However, seeing Ye Chenfeng’s expression change, she thought he was blaming her for mentioning the Sword Child’s identity.

In her view, Ye Chenfeng likely thought she was mocking him for being a common person yet holding the position of Sword Child...

"Sword Child, please let me explain..."

Xu Xiangwan hurriedly explained to Ye Chenfeng.

A smile crept on Ye Chenfeng’s lips; Xu Xiangwan’s demeanor was rare to see.

As the Sword Clan’s second genius and first Goddess, she still maintained such a good attitude.

It was indeed rare...

Ye Chenfeng could feel this woman truly had no presumptuous thoughts nor looked down on him.

"Hmm, alright."

Given this, Ye Chenfeng reluctantly accepted her presence nearby.

Subsequently, Xu Xiangwan led Ye Chenfeng around the Sword Clan’s various locations.

She warmly introduced every part of the Sword Clan to Ye Chenfeng.

However, when they arrived at a certain place in the back mountain, Xu Xiangwan stopped, a trace of panic on her face.

"Sword Child, this is the Forbidden Land of the Sword Clan. Up till now, aside from the Unmatched Sword Child, not even the Clan Leader can enter."

Xu Xiangwan said.

Ye Chenfeng smiled, "With my identity, can’t I enter?"

"Theoretically, yes, but it requires the Unmatched Sword Child’s permission. Your situation is too special. But if you talk to the Unmatched Sword Child, he’d definitely take you in."

Xu Xiangwan said.

"Alright, let’s head back then."

At night, after falling asleep.

Ye Chenfeng quietly headed to the Sword Clan’s Forbidden Land.

If he wanted to act, Xu Xiangwan couldn’t detect it at all.

After all, Xu Xiangwan was only at Half-step Heavenly Immortal cultivation...

"So this is it..."

Arriving at the eerie and terrifying back mountain—Sword Clan’s Forbidden Land.

Upon arriving here, Ye Chenfeng sensed that the three powerful presences originated from here.

However, Ye Tiannan seemingly wasn’t in the Forbidden Land...

"Let me uncover the secrets of the Sword Clan’s Forbidden Land!"

Ye Chenfeng sneered and entered the Sword Clan’s Forbidden Land.
