Chapter 55 Wang Yichen's Rage
Wang Yichen\'s Rage
The exit gate manifesting in the air caught everyone\'s attention. But suddenly, one person from the Duan Clan made an observation.
"Hey, did anyone see where the Wang Clan members are?"
And like a pebble thrown into a pond, ripples started to form. No one had seen or even sensed the twenty Wang Clan members for over 5 hours, and they assumed the worst. The Wang Clan had brought 20 members like the other two clans, but they had the most Peak Muscle Nourishiming Realm cultivators, along with the Grandson of their Grand Elder. Massive waves in The Great Xuan Empire would ensue if they all died in a small unknown Secret Realm.
Yan Fengxian seeing that her clansmen were conversing with each other about the disappearance of the Wang Clansmen, quickly attracted their attention.
"You can all talk about this once we leave! We don\'t know how long this gate is going to be open for, so quickly go through it!" Yan Fengxian ordered.
Coming back to their senses, both clans started to walk out of the exit. They could gossip in the outside world. If they got stuck in here forever, they would have nowhere to cry.
Xue Bai stayed close to Yan Fengxian as he walked through the portal. Then, feeling his surroundings shift, Xue Bai saw himself appear in the forest he was in just a day ago. In front of him stood the heads of the Three Great Families, Duan Zhen, Yan Zhenyu, Wang Yichen, and his father. The Wang Twins were also there, but they stood off to the side in respect.
The four powerhouses had their eyes closed in meditation, but after sensing the portal and the groups of teenagers exit, they opened their eyes.
The Duan Clan members went toward the Emperor, while the Yan Clan members went to Yan Zhenyu. Xue Bai also followed them as he had to keep up appearances.
And thankfully, neither Duan Zhen nor Wang Yichen bothered to look at Xue Bai and his cloaked appearance.
But Wang Yichen immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Where are my Wang Clan descendants?!" Wang Yichen shouted.
However, no one answered him, though they were just gossiping about it inside the Secret Realm, they didn\'t dare to do it in front of Wang Yichen. He was just as well known to be merciless as Wang Yu. So if they said that all of his descendants died in the Secret Realm, weren\'t they asking to be killed?
"I SAID, WHERE ARE MY WANG CLAN DESCENDANTS!" Wang Yichen shouted once more. At this point, Wang Yichen had already released his Domain and was fuming.
In the Domain Lord Realm, you create a Domain belonging to you based on the Law(s) you comprehended in the previous two stages. And Wang Yichen, known for his merciless personality as a General, had comprehended the Law of Slaughter.
And out from Wang Yichen spread out a bloody aura that soon spread out to everyone else. And the teenagers from the Duan and Yan Clan were the first to bear the pressure of it.
They all felt as if they had been thrown into a warzone that had been raging on since primordium. A bloodthirsty pressure engulfed them, and the weaker ones were forced to kneel instantly.
No matter how much potential they had or how many stages they could leapfrog, Wang Yichen was at the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm. Thankfully right before the aura forced everyone to kneel, Yan Zhenyu and Xue Feng also unleashed their Domains to counteract Wang Yichen\'s
"Wang Yichen, what are you doing!" Xue Feng was the first to shout at him.
Knowing that his son had done the job, Xue Feng felt ecstatic inside. Though he hadn\'t gotten his revenge just yet, this served as a nice interest.
\'This is what you get for trying to cripple my son, you demonic scum.\'
"Duke Wang, no matter how angry you are, trying to coerce our descendants in front of us doesn\'t seem like a smart move." Duan Zhen spoke calmly.
Yan Zhenyu didn\'t speak and merely agreed with the other two.
"All twenty of the Wang Clan younger generations I allowed into that Secret Realm have disappeared, and you all are telling me not to be angry?!" Wang Yichen wasn\'t calming down and instead doubled down, forcing his Domain out to the fullest.
Now blood apparitions in armor started to appear, each holding a spear.
"I\'m going to get an answer from one of those kids. It only matters how many will die before it. Blood Spirits attack!" Wang Yichen ordered with a mad smile.
At Wang Yichen\'s order, the apparitions charged at the teenagers who had just exited the Secret Realm.
However, just as the apparitions were about to make contact with a member of the Duan Clan, someone folded and told Wang Yichen what had happened.
"Duke Wang, we noticed that the Wang Clan members somehow disappeared 18 hours in. We don\'t know how thought the only way we noticed was that they stopped making noise."
Hearing the answer, Wang Yichen ordered the apparitions to stop but didn\'t call them back.
"So what you are telling me is that they died?! With their strength, they could\'ve taken down the average Bone Strengthening Realm beasts. How could they die in a Secret Realm with the Muscle Nourishing Realm as the limit!" Wang Yichen started to press for more information.
But just as he was going to unleash his Blood Spirits again, Duan Zhen sighed and unveiled his Domain. A Dragon roar spread out hundreds of miles, followed by a golden dragon spread out from behind Duan Zhen.
Unlike the other three men, Duan Zhen was in the Xiantian Great Realm, and his strength spoke for itself. As soon as he unleashed his Domain, it crushed Yan Zhenyu, Xue Feng, and Wang Yichen\'s Domains, almost effortlessly shocking everyone.
\'Duan Zhen is stronger than the rumors!\' Was the shared thought from all three of them,
It was well known throughout The Great Xuan Empire that Duan Zhen had a Low Black Grade Martial Vein and had already reached the Xiantian Great Realm. However, as Duan Zhen was still only 110 years old, they had assumed he would only be in the first or second stage of the Spirit Awakening Stage. But with the combat strength he had revealed with his sigh, the three men knew it wasn\'t as low as they thought.
Ignoring the thoughts of the men around him, Duan Zhen looked at the person who had revealed the news with a cold gaze.
"Duan Ye, Duke Wang would have never attacked any of you. And even if he were mad enough to, I would have stopped it. The only reason he sent out the Blood Spirits was to hope someone was weak-willed enough to fold. So when we get back to the Palace, you\'re going to face the wall for a decade to temper your spirit." Duan Zhen ordered mercilessly.
Though Duan Ye was heartbroken from hearing his punishment, he knew not to refuse and accepted it. Everyone who had come to the Secret Realm was under 18 years old, so to face the wall for ten years would end any childhood he had.
After giving Duan Ye, his punishment Duan Zhen looked at the fuming Wang Yichen calmly and spoke, "Duke Wang, you got your answer. Coercing my or Duke Yan\'s descendants anymore will only break relations between us. I recommend you go back home and try and hire a divinator. Maybe you can find some clues about the perpetrator."
After saying so, he turned around and left with his descendants. From start to finish, he never showed emotion and stayed as calm as an Emperor should be.
Yan Zhenyu was about to do the same, but Yan Fengxian went to him and told him about their extra guest.
After hearing what his daughter told him, Yan Zhenyu looked over at Xue Feng with meaningful eyes.
"Brother Xue, do you mind if we go to your Dukedom and talk?" Yan Zhenyu spoke with a smile.
Though Xue Feng was confused, seeing a figure in the Yan Clan group wearing his old cloak, he figured it out.
"If Older Brother Yan is asking, how can I, as a Little Brother, refuse?" Xue Feng replied equally as enthusiastically.
"XUE FENG! If I find out that any of this has to do with you, I will make sure you\'ll pay the price!" Wang Yichen screamed out before they left.
Though he didn\'t have any leads, Xue Feng was the most suspicious in his mind. Even though he was the discoverer of the Secret Realm, Xue Feng didn\'t send a single person inside. No matter how unpopulated his Dukedom is, he could have sent a handful. Yet Xue Feng didn\'t send a single soldier, which made him the number one suspect in Wang Yichen\'s mind.
Xue Feng seeing Wang Yichen still boiling with rage, just shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk away. In his mind Wang Yichen was a dead man walking, so the threat didn\'t even bother him.
"DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT" Left alone in the forest with nothing to vent his anger on, Wang Yichen started to destroy the nearby shrubbery.
