# Chapter 710: A Flaw?
"Over at the Phoenix God Sect, the flame aura is in turmoil. It seems Yun Che has made a major move this time."
Zi Ji gazed into the distance, looking toward the direction of the Phoenix God Sect. Beside him, a middle-aged man in blue robes knelt there, his stern face filled with deep reverence. He said respectfully, "Yun Che indeed did something far beyond expectations today."
"Did you bring the Mysterious Shadow Stone?"
The blue-robed man held up a strange jade with water-blue light flickering across its surface: "I have fulfilled my task. Please inspect it, master."
Taking the water-blue jade, Zi Ji swept his palm over it, and a mysterious profound formation quickly formed above the Mysterious Shadow Stone. With slight movements of his hand, scenes within the formation appeared clearly.
The images presented were unmistakably recordings of Yun Che's arrival at the Phoenix God Sect today, all the way until his departure—utterly complete. It was as if everything that had happened at the Phoenix God Sect that day had been presented before Zi Ji's eyes in a miraculous and bizarre manner, clear and without omission.
At first, Zi Ji's expression was calm, but then his brows began to sink. When Yun Che killed three Phoenix elders with a single sword strike, the blue-robed man distinctly saw Zi Ji's eyebrows twitch violently for an instant.
Zi Ji silently watched the images in the Mysterious Shadow Stone without a moment's deviation. After the final scene disappeared, he turned around and let out a long sigh: "It seems what the Sun Moon Divine Palace said about him having strength comparable to the early stage of the Sovereign Xuan Realm... was not an exaggeration at all."
"At the third level of the King Xuan Realm, comparable to the early stage of the Sovereign Xuan Realm... incomprehensible. This is simply not the talent that a 'human' can achieve." Zi Ji's voice carried deep shock. With his vast experience and over a thousand years of insight, he had never heard of anyone—not even at the third level of the Overlord Xuan Realm being comparable to the Sovereign Xuan Realm. He was also certain that such a thing had never appeared in the history of Tian Xuan Continent.
The blue-robed man beside him was not surprised by Zi Ji's assessment. Having witnessed it firsthand today, his shock at Yun Che was far greater than Zi Ji's. Calling him a monster was not an exaggeration at all. Two entire major realms... and such a disparity...
"Such words of gratitude—I merely lent a helping hand back then. Moreover, for me, your Phantom Lightning Extreme has repaid my small favor countless times over. If not for Phantom Lightning Extreme, I would absolutely not have been able to come and go as I pleased at the Phoenix God Sect."
"Ah? My Phantom Lightning Extreme? What do you mean? I don't understand at all... Ahhh, right, big brother, your movement technique is amazing! And it looks so much like our clan's Phantom Lightning Extreme—what a coincidence... yes, a coincidence! Maybe they originated from the same technique a long time ago... ha... haha... what a coincidence, truly a coincidence. This must be fate between us, haha... haha..."
Hua Minghai looked up at the sky, laughing like a madman.
"Hahahaha." Yun Che also laughed heartily. "Its help to me has far exceeded my initial expectations. Rest assured, I won't let you break the clan rules for nothing... Speaking of which, three years ago I almost died on the Primordial Mystic Ark because of Ye Xinghan of the Sun Moon Divine Palace. When I finally returned, they even traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to welcome me. My grudge with the Sun Moon Divine Palace is thoroughly settled. Though it hasn't erupted yet, it will eventually—and sooner rather than later."
Yun Che looked at Hua Minghai and said slowly, "Among the Sun Moon Divine Palace, who do you most want dead?"
Hua Minghai's eyes visibly trembled. "Big brother, can you really..." His expression shifted, and then he gritted his teeth fiercely. "The one who killed my parents and poisoned Xiao Ya with the cold poison is the same person... Ye Xuange, the tenth elder of the Sun Moon Divine Palace! And the root of all evil is... Ye Meixie, the Heavenly Lord of the Sun Moon Divine Palace! For hundreds of years, he has coveted our clan's Phantom Lightning Extreme, endlessly and secretly searching for our clan's whereabouts. I told you before that one of my ancestors once entered and exited the Sun Moon Divine Palace, stealing one of their Overlord Blades—that was an act of revenge... Under the relentless persecution of the Sun Moon Divine Palace, our clan has now withered to only me. So... so..."
"I understand." Yun Che nodded. "Ye Meixie is also someone I must kill."
"Ah?" Hua Minghai was stunned.
"Because Ye Xinghan must die." Thinking of everything Ye Xinghan had done, Yun Che's voice suddenly turned cold. "And Ye Xinghan is Ye Meixie's only son. If I kill Ye Xinghan, I naturally must kill Ye Meixie as well... otherwise, endless trouble."
The other reason Yun Che had to kill them, or rather the more important one, was naturally the enmity of his parents from back then!
Profound energy surged around Yun Che as Phantom Lightning Extreme empowered his body. "Though I don't have your clan's bloodline, I have obtained your clan's core inheritance. So, I can barely be considered half a successor of your clan. Since that's the case, I should do something for your clan—even if it's just a side effort."
"Big brother..." Hua Minghai's gratitude was beyond words.
"I'm leaving. If I stay too long, it doesn't matter to me, but it would be somewhat dangerous for you. You'd better leave the Divine Phoenix City immediately. Given the crimes the Divine Phoenix Empire has committed against my Cang Feng Empire, I can't guarantee that I won't do something that endangers the entire Divine Phoenix City in the coming days."
With that, Yun Che waved at Hua Minghai and turned into lightning, vanishing into the distance.
"Big brother, my sound transmission imprint hasn't changed. If there's anything I can do... call me anytime!" Hua Minghai shouted, his gaze following Yun Che's distant figure until it completely disappeared from sight.
