CHAPTER 732: CHAPTER 599: BREAKING THROUGH THE HEAVEN AND EARTH ARRAY AGAIN

Feng Lan slightly relaxed upon hearing this, but then his expression changed again.

"You unfilial son, hand over the Phoenix Token now."

Feng Xun shook his head and said slowly.

"The Phoenix Token was a token of love you gave to mother back then, and before she ’died,’ she gave it to me. I have the right to dispose of the Phoenix Token, and in my opinion, you are not qualified to inherit it."

"You bastard, that Phoenix Token is an heirloom of my family. Besides, I am your father. Do I need your permission to take back my own thing?" Feng Lan was enraged.

"You are wrong. According to the laws of Beiqing, after a father’s death, all his possessions go to his wife and eldest son and daughter. When you died, mother and I inherited all your possessions. After that, I gave the Phoenix Token to Ling Yue. If you want it back, you’d have to wait until Ling Yue and I are both dead." Feng Xun’s words nearly made Feng Lan die of anger.

So it seemed he had to be at the mercy of Feng Xun and Ye Lingyue if he wanted the Phoenix Token back.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll take action, kill you all, and flatten your Mercenary City?" Feng Lan’s eyes sharpened, and the Primordial Power around his body was as sharp as a knife’s edge.

"Prince Feng, let’s talk nicely. Among father and son, such killing, if it gets out, would only invite ridicule. Feng Xun’s intention is not to monopolize the Phoenix Token. He just thinks you are not suitable to be the Feng Residence Master. Perhaps you can stay in the city and let Feng Xun teach you some of the Feng Residence’s management ways. Once he feels you are qualified, he will naturally return the Phoenix Token to you," Ye Lingyue said, blinking at Feng Xun.

Ye Lingyue had always felt somewhat guilty about Feng Lan’s memory loss. She thought perhaps they could keep Feng Lan around for a while, firstly, to see if they could help him regain his memory, and secondly, to help foster the feelings among the three members of the Feng Family.

"Your meaning is to invite me to stay? Hmph, seeing your earnest invitation, I will reluctantly agree to stay," Feng Lan lifted his eyelids and shot a glance at Ye Lingyue.

He suddenly felt that if it were not for Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun being incompatible, this young lady was quite clever.

"No, there are not enough rooms in the City Lord’s Mansion."

The Earth Venerate did not wait for Ye Lingyue to speak and categorically denied it.

"What’s wrong with you, woman? I am talking to her, what right do you have to interrupt?" Feng Lan was dissatisfied.

Was he, the great Prince Feng, really going to be reduced to staying in an inn?

Besides, Feng Lan had already seen that the Heavenly Venerate was staying in the City Lord’s Mansion. Why could the Heavenly Venerate stay there, but he could not?

The City Lord’s Mansion was spacious enough; even a fool knew that. Not to mention one Feng Lan, even ten Feng Lans could be accommodated.

"You two, please don’t argue. Let’s put it this way; there are rooms in the City Lord’s Mansion, but we do not accept idlers. Even if you are Feng Xun’s father, the same rule applies. If you want to stay at the City Lord’s Mansion, you must work. Here’s the deal: during your stay at the City Lord’s Mansion, you will be responsible for its safety and security."

Ye Lingyue had already calculated that people from Dan Palace or Yaochi Immortal Pavilion would surely come back to cause trouble.

Now that Lan Cai’er was pregnant, Yan Jiu had to guard her day and night.

Although the Heavenly Venerate had decent strength, he was ultimately not a Martial Artist, and with the Earth Venerate still undergoing treatment, the entire City Lord’s Mansion was just a bunch of the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Wu Zhong’s whereabouts were unknown, and if they could have a powerful free fighter like Feng Lan, she could rest assured and go into closed-door cultivation.

Feng Lan pondered for a moment, looked at Feng Xun and the Earth Venerate who was frowning beside him, and agreed.

And so, the three members of Feng Xun’s family settled down in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Feng Xun also began to hand over some of the affairs of the Feng Residence to Feng Lan, as Ye Lingyue had previously instructed.

Thus, Ye Lingyue could rest assured and start her secluded cultivation, attempting to break through the second Heaven and Earth Tribulation.

However, before she undertook the challenge of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, Ye Lingyue considered that this time she would be breaking through from the 25th to the 48th layer of the Earth Evil Prison.

In these twenty-four layers of the Earth Evil Prison, not only was the strength of the Earth Evil Monarch much stronger than the likes of the Bone Evil Monarch, but what’s more deadly was that there were even more Earth Evils, with their strength also being considerably greater.

According to the information provided by the Bone Evil Monarch, the weakest of these Earth Evils also had the cultivation of the Small Yuan Dan Realm among human Martial Artists, with their numbers reaching tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Even with Little Zhiyo by her side, Ye Lingyue would find it hard to contend against so many Earth Evils on her own.

Therefore, she had no choice but to change her plans.

Before entering the Heaven and Earth Array, she decided to refine the Thunder Bell that she had previously acquired from Huang Daxian.

The Thunder Bell was a Middle Earth-grade Spiritual Treasure, with remarkable power.

Although Ye Lingyue possessed a Heaven Rank Yi God’s Void-breaking Bow, using it required a great deal of effort, and the bow had a significant flaw; it could only attack one target at a time.

Moreover, everyone on the mainland knew that Ye Lingyue had obtained the Yi God’s Void-breaking Bow, so using it would immediately expose her identity.

Ye Lingyue had always wanted to find a Spiritual Artifact that could serve as a substitute, yet was also sufficiently powerful. The Thunder Bell perfectly met all her requirements.

Although Huang Daxian was already dead and the Thunder Bell had become an ownerless item, since there was still a Spiritual Imprint of Huang Daxian remaining on it, Ye Lingyue found it very awkward to use and had attempted to refine the Thunder Bell using Gray Fire, but without satisfactory results.

Ye Lingyue understood that it was because her own strength was insufficient. Fortunately, she later devoured the Nine Corpse Fire from the Nine Corpse Wanderer, and after the Gray Fire merged with two types of Mutant Fire, it underwent certain changes, and its power also became stronger than before.

Seeing that the timing was right, Ye Lingyue directly used the Gray Fire to refine the Thunder Bell again and successfully removed the Spiritual Imprint from it.

The newly refined Thunder Bell looked even more exquisite than before, and to Ye Lingyue’s delight, its grade had also risen by one rank, advancing directly from a Middle Earth-grade to an Earth-grade top-grade.

The original golden body of the bell now had numerous purple lightnings zigzagging on it like Spirit Snakes, containing a terrifying power of thunder and lightning, which reminded Ye Lingyue of the Thunder God Pearl that Bo Qing once possessed.

Ye Lingyue’s heart moved, and she decided to test the power of the Thunder Bell.

She left Mercenary City and went to the vast mountains, finding a relatively open flat land and then soared into the sky.

"Rise!"

With a flip of her palm, Ye Lingyue sent the Thunder Bell soaring into the sky.

In the blue sky, with the appearance of the Thunder Bell, the sky suddenly became crowded with dark clouds, and it completely darkened, followed by booming thunder emanating from the bell.

With several "sizzling" sounds, the bell shook, and dozens of lightnings fell from within.

The lightning struck the ground, instantly turning countless mountains and trees into ashes.
