Chapter 1084: The Soul Sect's Backing
Ji Ruyan's expression froze, then she lowered her head: "Young master... already knows. But... how could an upper existence like the Shenwu Realm truly care about an insignificant sect from a lower star realm? And the Yan Shen Realm is among the lower mid-level star realms as well," Yun Che said.
"I only learned of the details recently. Initially, after the Soul Sect confirmed that the little Wood Spirit they captured was actually a Royal Wood Spirit—a species long believed extinct—they immediately transmitted a sound message to inform Lei Qianfeng. Lei Qianfeng was first delighted, then fearful. He dared not use it for himself, and even less dared to offer it to the Shenwu Realm. Naturally, he also dared not keep it for long, so he ordered them to dispose of it through our Black Feather Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible. But unexpectedly, the first half of that transmission was overheard from afar by Lei Qianfeng's principal wife. She had no idea what a 'Royal Wood Spirit' meant, and as luck would have it, that day happened to be Lei Qianyu's birthday. When Lei Qianfeng's wife transmitted a message to Lei Qianyu, who was far away in the Shenwu Realm, she casually mentioned the matter."
"That is roughly how it happened. One can imagine how the Shenwu Realm would react upon learning that the Soul Sect had captured a Royal Wood Spirit. But just at the moment the Shenwu Realm found out, that Royal Wood Spirit was taken away by Young Master Ling... Now, recovering that Royal Wood Spirit is the Soul Sect's top priority. If they ultimately fail to retrieve it, the Shenwu Realm will undoubtedly descend in fury. They might even send someone in person to the Heiya Realm."
"They'll never find it. They'll never even think of finding it," Yun Che said, his hands slowly clenching into fists. "No matter what Shenwu Realm it is, even if it has the backing of the Heavenly King himself, I will make the Soul Sect bathe in blood!"
