Notes of the Martial King
Princess Zhao Yu's objection was within Ye Fei's expectations. After all, even though he had been framed for entering the Fire Cloud Cave, he had still 'swallowed' the Extraterrestrial Divine Fire that should have belonged to Zhao Yu.
Ye Fei didn't need to guess to know that Zhao Yu must have suspected that he had used the Extraterrestrial Divine Fire to successfully enter the Evil Demon Sword King's secret realm and obtain the Sword King's inheritance.
However, Ye Fei couldn't explain this matter at all. He couldn't possibly reveal the secret of the Undying Sword Soul. Fortunately, the Demon King had already helped him think of a foolproof plan before he left the Demon Sealing Tower. Seeing Zhao Yu's objection, Ye Fei wasn't afraid at all.
The Palace Lord tried to persuade Zhao Yu tactfully, "Your Highness, you've heard the confrontation just now about the Fire Cloud Cave. It has nothing to do with Ye Fei. It was completely Li Xiaotian's own decision. This old man has already punished him. Princess, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Princess Zhao Yu wouldn't buy it just like that. She glared fiercely at Ye Fei and said, "Palace Lord, you're clearly avoiding the important matter and dwelling on the trivial! Even if this guy was framed, he still swallowed my Extraterrestrial Divine Fire, and … "
Zhao Yu thought about how Ye Fei had barged in and seen her bathing. Her beautiful face flushed red, and she quickly changed the topic and continued, "I also relied on the Extraterrestrial Divine Fire to obtain the Sword King's inheritance. All of this should have been my opportunity!"
The Sword King's inheritance was very powerful. Just by looking at Ye Fei's explosive increase in strength, Zhao Yu naturally wouldn't forgive Ye Fei so easily.
The Palace Lord was also in a difficult position. Although Tianyun Wufu was powerful, his current strength was far from what it used to be. It was undoubtedly irrational to oppose the imperial family now.
The Manor Head could only ask, "Then Princess, you mean …"
Zhao Yu pointed at Ye Fei as a glint flashed across her eyes. "His fortuitous encounter was obtained by relying on my Extraterrestrial Divine Flame. Therefore, I also have the right to share the Sword King's inheritance. That Soul-Devouring Sword should also belong to me!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei's expression changed. He thought to himself that this crazy woman was really demanding an exorbitant price. It was true that he had swallowed the divine flames from beyond the heavens, but he had nothing to say about the compensation that Zhao Yu wanted.
Ye Fei was clearly the one who had obtained the Sword King's inheritance by relying on his Undying Sword Soul. It had nothing to do with the Extraterrestrial Divine Fire. Yet, Zhao Yu actually wanted a share of the loot. This made Ye Fei very unhappy.
However, he could not reveal the secret of the Undying Sword Soul in front of everyone. This was really depressing.
The Martial House Master frowned as he heard this. He flatly refused, "Princess, your request is too much. If a disciple of my Martial House can obtain the Sword King's inheritance, that is his good fortune. It has nothing to do with the divine flame from beyond the heavens! Princess, how about this? I will let Ye Fei give you the Soul-Devouring Sword as compensation. What do you think? "
"Sure!"
Zhao Yu nodded coldly. Her goal was to obtain this demonic sword. There was a rumor in the imperial family that Zhao Qianjun had become the Sword King because of this Soul-Devouring Sword!
"No! I can't give her the Soul-Devouring Sword! "
Ye Fei immediately objected when he heard this.
One had to know that the Soul-Devouring Sword was his livelihood. As long as he had it, he would be able to withstand a blow from a Wu Zong without dying.
Without the Soul-Devouring Sword, Ye Fei's strength would definitely decrease by more than half. Ye Fei would be a fool to hand over such a life-saving item.
Not to mention, this Soul-Devouring Sword could also become a key clue for Ye Fei to enter the Sea of Constellations in the future to find the true body of the Soul-Devouring Sword and rescue the Demon Emperor. It was even more impossible for Ye Fei to hand it over.
When Zhao Yu heard this, the murderous aura on her face became even more intense. She shouted, "Ye Fei, don't go overboard! Isn't it enough that you devoured my Extraterrestrial Divine Flame? Do you want to monopolize the Soul-Devouring Sword and the Sword King's inheritance as well? "
Zhao Yu was so angry that her face turned red and her body heaved up and down.
When the Manor Head heard this, he was also displeased. He transmitted his voice to Ye Fei sternly, "Ye Fei, you are a disciple of Wu Province. However, this Soul-Devouring Sword has killed three Manor Heads and many experts of Wu Province. I can tolerate you for other things, but not this demonic sword!"
The old man's tone was resolute and decisive!
After all, this Soul-Devouring Sword had killed the masters and grandmasters of Wu Province's elders. If Ye Fei held onto this Soul-Devouring Sword, not only would the Imperial Family not agree to it, but the elders of Wu Province would also hold a great grudge against him.
Ye Fei also understood that the Manor Head's words were completely out of consideration for his future. However, Ye Fei still gritted his teeth and stepped forward resolutely, "Please forgive me, Manor Head. I must keep this Soul-Devouring Sword!"
"However, I can share the cultivation notes of King Wu with you as the price for keeping this Soul-Devouring Sword. What do the two of you think?"
Ye Fei took out his final trump card. Of course, he also lowered his voice so that only the three of them could hear him.
"No! No, I will not agree to this. As a disciple of Wu Province, Ye Fei, why must you use this demonic sword that has a deep grudge against Wu Province … Wait … "
The Manor Head had been stubborn earlier. However, when he heard that Ye Fei was talking about King Wu's cultivation notes, he was completely shocked.
Zhao Yu also widened his eyes and asked incredulously, "How is this possible? Our Imperial Family knows all of Zhao Qianjun's secrets like the back of our hand. How could he possibly have …"
He was just about to reveal King Wu's cultivation notes.
However, the Manor Head reacted quickly. He suddenly released the aura of a peak Martial Grandmaster. Without giving Ye Fei and Zhao Yu a chance to speak, he grabbed the two of them and rushed into the sky.
"Everyone, let's disperse! If something like this happens again, I will not let you off easily! "
Ye Fei smiled bitterly. Obviously, the Manor Head did not want the matter of King Wu's cultivation notes to be leaked. He wanted to capture him and "interrogate" him alone.
Fortunately, the Manor Head only grabbed him and did not reveal any killing intent. Princess Zhao Yu was also by his side. Ye Fei was not worried that the Manor Head would harm him.
Finally, the old man brought the two of them to a small bamboo grove in the deepest part of the Martial House. Only then did he descend. With an incomparably solemn expression, he asked, "Ye Fei, is what you said true? Inside the Sword King's secret realm, there really are the Martial King's cultivation notes?"
Zhao Yu did not speak. She stared at Ye Fei with her beautiful eyes, not missing any change in Ye Fei's expression.
King Wu's cultivation notes were simply too shocking.
If this news were to spread, the entire Zhao Province would be shocked! This was a secret that was even more shocking than the birth of the Soul-Devouring Sword!
At this moment, whether it was Zhao Yu or the Manor Head, they had all subconsciously neglected the Soul-Devouring Sword.
Their reaction was also within Ye Fei's expectations. After all, the Soul-Devouring Sword had only pushed Zhao Qianjun to the level of a Martial Venerable.
As for the cultivation notes of King Wu, who was stronger than a Martial Venerable, such an expert was definitely a priceless treasure in a small place like Zhao Province.
According to what he had discussed with the Demon King beforehand, Ye Fei respectfully handed the King Wu's cultivation notes to the Manor Head.
"Manor Head, this is the King Wu's cultivation notes that I found in the Sword King's secret realm! According to the Sword King's notes before he died, the reason why his strength became so terrifying was not because of the Soul-Devouring Sword, but because of this King Wu's cultivation notes! I only managed to comprehend Sword Intent by chance through him! "
Ye Fei was just boasting. After all, Zhao Qianjun had been dead for more than 200 years. The dead could not bear witness. Unfortunately, the Manor Head and Zhao Yu were too lazy to listen to his boasting.
Zhao Yu looked at the Manor Head excitedly and asked, "How is it, Grandpa? Is this guy lying to us? Is this really King Wu's cultivation notes?"
What, Grandpa?
Ye Fei's heart trembled violently. Zhao Yu was actually the Manor Head's granddaughter?
No wonder Zhao Yu could still act like a tyrant in Wu Province despite the bad relationship between the Imperial Family and Wu Province. She had monopolized the Fire Cloud Cave and demoted Ye Fei to a servant disciple.
After all this time, the Princess was also half the owner of Tianyun Wufu. Ye Fei felt a chill run down his spine.
