Chapter 431: Chapter 430: Presenting a Sword to Nangong

Nangong said, "Leader, you may not know this, but the Feather Immortal Sect focuses primarily on swordsmanship. Because of that, I have a decent understanding of its profound principles."

"Unfortunately, after the severe injuries I suffered years ago, I can no longer wield a sword."

Nangong was very disheartened. If I could use a sword, who would want to rely on brute force?

Just then, Ye Fan said, "That’s because you haven’t found the right sword. As it happens, I have one right here, and I think it will be a perfect match for you."

"Hmm?"

Nangong was shocked. He hadn’t expected the Leader to co just to give him a sword.

Ye Fan took out the Heavenly Inquiry Sword, which he had already repaired.

"Catch!"

He tossed the Heavenly Inquiry Sword over, and Nangong caught it instantly. The mont he held it, he was struck with overwhelming shock. This is the King’s Divine Sword, Heavenly Inquiry!

The Heavenly Inquiry Sword’s reputation was imnse. Even in the Feather Immortal Sect, its legendary status as the Sword King—the King of Spiritual Weapons—was well-known.

He hadn’t expected Ye Fan to give him such a precious gift.

He quickly offered the sword back to Ye Fan, saying, "Leader, this gift is far too valuable. I cannot possibly accept it!"

Ye Fan said, "You are worthy of it. After we destroy the Feather Immortal Sect, you will be free to go anywhere you wish. I won’t stop you. Consider this Heavenly Inquiry Sword a symbol of my faith in you."

"Leader, you’ve misunderstood," Nangong said hastily. "Once the Feather Immortal Sect is destroyed, I intend to return to the Heavenly King Hall. It is my ho! How could I bear to leave it?"

"It’s just... this Heavenly Inquiry Sword is truly too precious. How did you acquire it, Leader?"

Nangong’s heart was moved by the Heavenly Inquiry Sword, but he knew that accepting such a gift would weigh on his conscience. How could I dare to accept it?

Ye Fan said, "What if I told you I broke this sword and then repaired it myself? Would you believe ?"

Nangong’s expression hardened instantly. Absolutely not! This is Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s personal sword. In this world, there’s no weapon that could break it! Even if I wanted to believe it, I couldn’t bring myself to.

But Ye Fan said, "I knew you’d say that. Nevertheless, the Heavenly Inquiry Sword was indeed broken by my sword."

He took out the Yuanhong Sword.

Nangong found it unbelievable. He was no amateur when it ca to swords, and he simply couldn’t accept that this dazzlingly sharp blade could have broken the Heavenly Inquiry Sword. Anyone could see the Yuanhong Sword was the pinnacle of sharpness; no other blade could compare. However, such a sword wasn’t suitable for a Martial Artist, as it was common knowledge that an overly sharp sword is prone to nicks and can even break easily.

Yet Ye Fan said, "This sword is nad Yuanhong. It is the very blade that broke the Heavenly Inquiry Sword. To be honest, I was quite surprised myself."

He put the Yuanhong Sword away.

Nangong was shaken to his core. He had truly witnessed so bizarre things today. Moreover, he could distinctly feel the Heavenly Inquiry Sword in his hands trembling, as if in fear of the Yuanhong Sword.

It seems the title of Sword King will have to be relinquished.

"From this day forward, the Heavenly Inquiry Sword is yours," Ye Fan declared. "You are its new master."

"Yes!" Nangong accepted without further protest.

No swordsman alive didn’t dream of possessing an unparalleled Spiritual Weapon.

Afterward, Ye Fan gave his orders. "First, summon the allied forces to Jiangning. I need to make a trip to the Ice Glacier Grassland."

"Yes!"

Nangong didn’t ask why. He knew the rules perfectly well: a subordinate never questions their superior’s intentions.

「The next day, Ye Fan set off with a large amount of snacks.」

He was heading to the Ice Glacier Grassland to find the Grassland Bear. The last ti they parted, he had promised to visit, but so much ti had passed since then. I still haven’t gone. I’m a terrible friend.

Just as Ye Fan arrived at the Ice Glacier Grassland and was about to head toward the Grassland Bear’s lair, a sudden roar echoed through the plains, scattering the nearby birds and beasts. A massive figure burst forth from the tall grass. It was the Grassland Bear.

The Grassland Bear bounded up to Ye Fan, as excited as a puppy, and started licking his face, leaving Ye Fan speechless. He figured the Grassland Bear was just being playful, and there was nothing to be done about it.

He said to the massive beast, "Co, co! I brought gifts for you this ti!"

When it saw the enormous pile of snacks and chocolates Ye Fan had brought from the city, the Grassland Bear couldn’t contain its excitent and imdiately began to wolf down the treats. There was over a ton of food, yet the Grassland Bear devoured it all in less than thirty minutes. Afterward, it started acting cute, rolling on the ground in front of Ye Fan.

As Ye Fan stroked the Grassland Bear’s head, he was shocked by its power. It had grown incredibly strong—even stronger than he was now. For Ye Fan, this was fantastic news.

The Grassland Bear had been on the verge of a transformation when he last left, but he had never expected the leap in power to be so imnse. The disparity was maddening, enough to make him want to bang his head against a wall.

He then rode the Grassland Bear to its den. The Grassland Bear eagerly offered him so of the Spirit Grass that grew in the Ice Glacier Grassland.

Ye Fan said, "I’ve co to ask for your help with sothing important."

As if it understood every word, the Grassland Bear nodded enthusiastically.

Ye Fan was completely chard by its cuteness.

He said, "Thank you. I knew I could count on you."

The Grassland Bear nuzzled against him. Perhaps Ye Fan was its only friend in the world.

The man and beast conferred that evening, and the next day, they set off together. Of course, the "conference" consisted mostly of Ye Fan making decisions, because the Grassland Bear simply nodded at everything he said. Communication had never been so easy.

He also paid a visit to the tribe living in the Ice Glacier Grassland, where he was t by the tribal leader. The Grassland Bear was now the King of Divine Beasts of the Ice Glacier Grassland and the tribe’s sacred totem. The tribal leader explained that they could not offer their aid, as they were bound to protect the Ice Glacier Grassland.

Ye Fan understood completely. If the Kirin Ice Talisman were ever removed, the Ice Glacier Grassland would cease to exist. He couldn’t bear the thought of his friend’s ho disappearing.

With that, he and the Grassland Bear departed. Its body was even more enormous than before, making it far too conspicuous once they left the sanctuary of the Ice Glacier Grassland. Just as Ye Fan was frowning over this problem, the Grassland Bear suddenly transford.

It shrank, becoming as small as a pug.

Ye Fan’s jaw dropped.

Incredible! That’s the only word for it. If this isn’t incredible, what is? The world is truly full of wonders.

He couldn’t help but admire this Grassland Bear, which carried the bloodline of a Divine Beast and possessed such a surprising ability. The already cute Grassland Bear now looked even more adorable.

Ye Fan imdiately scooped up the tiny Grassland Bear and, on his way, decided to stop by the Yan Clan. He wanted to see if they were prepared.

When he arrived, the Yan Clan was bustling with activity, preparing for the joint campaign with the Heavenly King Hall. Ye Fan’s presence sent a new wave of excitent through the clan.
