Chapter 730 - Shocking Top Skills

“I do not wish to ask about it, and I also do not wish to say anything more about your Feng family matters.” Duan Qingchen waved his hand dismissively, cutting off Jiang Wuhen. He obviously did not wish to interfere in the matters of Jiang Wuhen and his family clan.

“Many thanks, Senior,” Jiang Wuhen said happily.

The old man did not say anything more and just nodded at Ling Chuxi, leading the crowd to leave.

“Who are they?” Ling Chuxi asked Jiang Wuhen as she watched them walk away.

Frankly speaking, although that old man appeared to be extremely friendly, Ling Chuxi and the rest still felt a huge suppressive force radiating from him.

“They’re from the Celestial Sect (1). Duan Qingchen of the Duan family is the current generation’s sect master. Rumors say that his cultivation has reached a superb level,” Jiang Wuhen replied.

“Celestial Sect! That’s one of the five great sects!” Lan Xinyu gasped, her face pale.

On the way, Su Yizhi had told them a little bit about the sects. The Celestial Sect was one of the five great sects. The sects were founded millions of years ago and although they were not known by outsiders, their numbers were not small. To have been passed down to this day and remain as one of the five great sects, it said a lot about the sect members’ cultivation and background. Those ancient family clans with their supposed thousand years of history were not even worthy of carrying their shoes.

Lan Xinyu was secretly grateful that she had not gotten into a fight with Duan Feiyu, otherwise she would have really suffered. Duan Qingchen’s magnanimity was truly admirable.

Of the five great sects, other than the Golden Pill Sect’s Golden Stone Pills and needle and finger methods, the other sects also had their own unique martial arts. The Celestial Sect’s Celestial cultivation methods were also renowned as shocking top skills, and with those skills, the Celestial Sect unofficially became the leader of the five great sects in the last few thousand years.

Either way, Duan Qingchen’s words earlier had more or less revealed his identity, which he clearly couldn’t be bothered to continue hiding in front of Lan Xinyu and the rest.

“Since the Celestial Sect has such strong cultivation, how could a descendant of the Duan family be left wandering outside?” Curious, Lan Xinyu could not help but ask.

“About this… I have heard a little about it.” Jiang Wuhen looked around cautiously, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “Rumors say that Duan Qingchen once had a daughter. Since he had gotten a daughter at such an old age, she was extremely pampered. However, since birth, the girl had a weird sickness, and even famed doctors could not treat her. When she became slightly older, Duan Qingchen took her around to see well-known doctors to search for a cure. They travelled for more than ten years, but her sickness remained untreatable, and on the way, she fell in love with a worldly man.

“Since she was a descendant of a sect, she was only allowed to marry someone from a sect. How could she marry a normal person? Old Master Duan naturally did not agree to it, but his daughter was quite stubborn so she simply walked away. In a fit of anger, Old Master Duan announced that she was exiled from the sect and since then, he has been indifferent towards her. If I’m not mistaken, I believe that little boy just now is the descendant she had left behind. Although Old Master Duan was angry back then, the child is still a descendant of his Duan family after all, so naturally he cannot allow him to wander outside.”

“Daring to touch someone of the Celestial Sect, who even is that assassin?” They were already unable to comprehend the appearance of the assassin, and after finding out the origins of the Celestial Sect, they were even more perplexed.

“This I don’t know. However, among the sects, things are not as peaceful as you think. The open rivalry and hidden fights are even more aggressive than the various countries on the mainland. In the future, you all will know,” Jiang Wuhen said heavily, and sighed.

(1) Celestial Sect is actually made up of two words in Chinese, the first word being Sky/Heaven, which you all saw in the token in the last chapter
