The long sword, like a rainbow, with its majestic aura and invincible sharpness, appeared in front of Ling Wushang in an instant.
It was the sword of the Ling family's former Emperor-level ancestor, named Flying Rainbow.
This sudden turn of events surprised Ling Yunbo. He looked at Ling Yunfei with a frown and asked:
"What is this? Why have I never known it before?"
Ling Yunfei feigned calmness and chuckled, "It's a good thing I told you everything, otherwise I would have told all the outsiders."
In fact, Ling Yunfei only found out about it not long ago, and this was the first time he had seen it.
He was also shocked when he saw the Emperor Sword Flying Rainbow, which gleamed with cold light and exuded infinite majesty.
However, he couldn't show these things in front of Ling Yunbo. He was very happy to surprise Ling Yunbo.
With the appearance of this imperial weapon, he felt a little more at ease.
The other members of the Ling family watched this scene with equal joy. They could feel the power of this sword, an aura even stronger than that of their ancestor.
Ling Hao was completely stunned, his gaze fixed on the imperial sword. "Is this from our Ling family? How come I've never seen or heard of it before?"
Ling Yuwei was also surprised and uncertain.
"It came from the location of our ancestral hall. There is indeed a magic array over there, but we didn't know it was nurturing such a precious sword."
Qin Feng could naturally sense the extraordinary nature of the imperial weapon. The last time he felt this aura was at Lingtian Peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect in Yizhou.
The stone tablet there also contained a sword, which later became the master of the small stone.
Qin Feng was now able to roughly determine the level of this sword; it was a top-grade spiritual treasure, likely the sword of an emperor.
Weapons are categorized as: magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts, magical treasures, and spiritual treasures.
Each grade is further divided into: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
Once a treasure reaches the level of a spiritual treasure, its spirituality becomes extremely difficult to enhance. It requires long-term nurturing from its owner, making each advancement in a spiritual treasure's level incredibly challenging.
When forging a weapon of the Spirit Treasure level, it's already quite good if it can reach the level of a low-grade Spirit Treasure at the beginning.
Some of them don't even reach the level of spiritual treasures, but are only at the level of magic treasures, and need to be nurtured slowly.
It seems that the Ling family's heritage is even more ancient and profound than he thought.
Qin Feng guessed that perhaps the Ling family had a powerful figure at the level of an emperor in their ancestors.
If Ling Wushang and Ling Yunfei knew Qin Feng's guess, they would definitely be shocked. He guessed very accurately; it was indeed the case.
Those from various factions who were watching the spectacle were also dumbfounded when they saw this sword that exuded the aura of an Emperor Realm expert. The Ling family had once again surprised them.
Duanmu Zhen, Ouyang Xiaojun, Chu Xiao, Xiao Fang, and Lin Ming never expected that Ling Wushang really had another trump card.
The five of them looked at the imperial weapon with some trepidation.
The aura and power emanating from this precious sword made them feel threatened; they might actually suffer severe injuries or even death.
At this moment, they were very hesitant about whether to continue.
The Emperor Sword Flying Rainbow circled around Ling Wushang, as if sizing him up.
Ling Wushang did not move, letting it do as it pleased.
It hovered in front of Ling Wushang, its sword tip pointing at Duanmu Zhen and the others.
The Emperor Sword Flying Rainbow trembled slightly, as if it were telling Ling Wushang something.
Ling Wushang nodded. "I understand."
He addressed the five men, including Duanmu Zhen:
“Five fellow Daoists, you have no enmity with my Ling family. I understand you joining in the fun, but the situation is different now. I suggest you leave.”
This is ultimately an internal matter for my Ling family; you might want to consider it.
"Of course, if you insist on fighting, I, Ling Wushang, and the Ling family will absolutely accompany you."
Ling Wushang's words, a combination of soft and hard tactics, made the five Emperor Realm experts even more hesitant. They were confident that they could handle Ling Wushang alone.
However, the sudden appearance of this sword, imbued with the aura of an Emperor, made them hesitate.
As beings of the Royal Realm, they knew all too well the power of beings of the Emperor Realm.
The Emperor Realm possesses a grotto-heaven, while the Emperor Realm possesses a world; these are two different levels of power, and they are currently somewhat weakened.
Another issue is that they are unsure whether the Ling family's resource secrets are worth risking their lives for.
The five Emperor Realm experts who had just held an absolute advantage have now fallen silent.
Ling Wushang didn't urge them; it was better to avoid fighting if possible.
Don't be fooled by how imposing the Emperor Sword Flying Rainbow looks now; its power will be gone after a few uses.
It needs to be recharged before it can be used again, which takes a considerable amount of time.
The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.
Seeing this, Ling Yunbo immediately sensed something was wrong. If they still couldn't win even this way, then there was truly no hope. He immediately spoke up to advise:
"Seniors, don't be intimidated by an unclaimed sword."
Unowned objects have no source of power, and relying solely on their own absorption of spiritual energy is very slow; even if they are powerful, they can only be used a few times.
"You're all at the Royal Realm, don't you understand this principle? Don't you want the Ling family's things anymore?"
Duanmu Zhen and the others naturally understood the reasoning Ling Yunbo was giving them. The problem was, who would test the sharpness of the sword and who would expend its energy?
People are selfish; without sufficient incentive, the five of them wouldn't choose to risk their lives.
They agreed before because they thought it would be easy to resolve, but now they're being asked to fight to the death? That's definitely not an option.
Duanmu Zhen, Ouyang Xiaojun, Chu Xiao, Xiao Fang, and Lin Ming did not take any action, clearly because they felt it was not worth it.
Seeing this, Ling Yunbo felt a chill run down his spine, realizing their decision.
But now he has no way out. These people can retreat, but where can Ling Yunbo retreat to?
