Chapter 209 - 206: The Indelible Brand
"Ye Zhen, the War Soul Blood Flag is far too important! You also know how much the Sword Origin Sect values the War Soul Blood Flag, so it cannot remain in your hands. Otherwise, it would spell disaster for you!"
Sect Master Guo Qijing’s comforting voice appeared in Ye Zhen’s mind, causing Ye Zhen to smile bitterly.
Indeed!
If Ye Zhen hadn’t already had a plan in place, just based on that statement alone, the War Soul Blood Flag would have been out of his reach.
Of course, Ye Zhen didn’t blame Sect Master Guo Qijing for saying such. If Ye Zhen were in his position, he would have done the same. However, the gazes of others made Ye Zhen quite uncomfortable.
Especially the members of the royal family and the elders from the Lishui Sect, including the elders from the Qiyun Sect who looked at Ye Zhen as if they had spotted prey, their eyes filled with greed.
That included Hong Banjiang, the Fifth Elder of the Qiyun Sect, too!
There was no helping it; the War Soul Blood Flag’s forty percent enhancement effect was too astonishing.
Whoever held it, aside from serving the empire, it would undoubtedly be a formidable weapon for braving secret realms and plundering heritage mansions.
"In my opinion, this War Soul Blood Flag should be handed over to our Lishui Sect," the Grand Elder Lik Quan of the Lishui Sect was the first to speak up.
