Chapter 266: Are You Willing To Lead The Shang Clan, The Bai Family Young Emperor’s Fear
Sh*t!
Holy Sh*t!
How the hell did he end up stepping on this bastard’s tail?!
Fifth Bai Forefather was completely devastated.
A white robe, a long sword, such an appearance and aura, the silver-haired female companion, and what more, the Chu surname…
On top of that, he felt that this person before him could obliterate him at any moment.
If the Fifth Bai Forefather could not have guessed who this person was, he would be blind.
This person must be… Chu Kuangren!
Although he was clueless as to why Chu Kuangren would still show up at Shang clan’s territory after killing their Sage, it was obvious that Chu Kuangren was keen on protecting Shang Qingxue. His demeanor could not be more obvious!
What else could the Fifth Bai Forefather do?
The only option was to obediently concede and let go of Shang Qingxue.
“Brother Chu, I genuinely didn’t know you were here, nor was I aware of this girl’s relationship with you. Please accept my apologies.”
The Fifth Bai Forefather lowered his posture.
It was a scene that shocked many.
Bai Feng was especially confused. “Fifth Forefather, what’re you doing? Is this person even influential?”
“B*stard!”
At that moment, the Fifth Bai Forefather cursed angrily at Bai Feng, “If it wasn’t for you who kept pestering the Young Emperor to capture Shang Qingxue, we wouldn’t have disturbed Brother Chu!”
“You deserve nothing but death for your wrongdoings!”
At that, the Fifth Bai Forefather ignored the horrified Bai Feng and grasped the latter’s temple with his five fingers, releasing a violent burst of spiritual energies.
In a split second, a blood mist exploded!
Bai Feng was instantly killed on the spot!
Chu Kuangren watched from the side and did not utter a single word. On the other hand, it was Shang Qingxue, Shang Long, and the rest who seemed unable to comprehend the situation.
Chu Kuangren’s influence was terrifying indeed.
He did not have to do anything aside from conveying his intention that he wanted to protect Shang Qingxue, and a Supreme Honorable would kill his clansman to atone for their wrongdoings.
How scary was that? It was too scary.
“Did I even ask you to do it?” Chu Kuangren asked firmly.
It was enough to make the Fifth Bai Forefather tremble in fear. He said in a panic, “I’ve stepped out of line, please forgive me, Brother… No, I mean, Sect Leader Chu.”
“Fine, go back and tell the upper echelons of the Bai Family that even if I did kill the Shang clan’s Sage, the people of Shang clan are still responsible to watch over the graves of the Horizon Wing Sect’s warriors. They have a duty to fulfill, so don’t try to be funny.”
“Otherwise, I don’t mind paying the Bai family a visit.”
It was a euphemism.
Fifth Bai Forefather was so scared that his scalp turned numb. Anyone could understand that it would not just be any visit.
Two Sages were gone after he made a visit to Murong Clan.
Later, a visit to Shang clan was all it took for the Shang clan’s Sage to be gone.
Fifth Bai Forefather could not imagine what Chu Kuangren’s visit to the Bai Family would entail for all of them.
“Yes, Sect Leader Chu. I shall ensure that your words are conveyed clearly to the right people.”
“That’s it. Now take your men and leave.”
“Alright.” As if he just escaped death, Fifth Bai Forefather immediately instructed all the Bai Family members to leave the area.
“Hold on.” Suddenly, Chu Kuangren spoke again.
Fifth Bai Forefather jumped and mechanistically turned around as he asked worryingly, “Sect Leader Chu, do you have any further instructions?”
“Take the body too. You can’t just visit someone else’s house and leave trash lying around,” said Chu Kuangren as he pointed at Bai Feng’s corpse.
The disciples of the Shang Clan could feel their mouths twitching.
After all, Bai Feng was considered one of the most reputable sky-pride in Nimbus City, yet all Chu Kuangren could see was a worthless piece of trash.
“Forgive my carelessness. I’ll get rid of it immediately.”
Fifth Bai Forefather breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Chu Kuangren would have second thoughts on letting them go alive.
Once the Bai family members left, Shang Long and his wife both came before Chu Kuangren and thanked him with a fist salute.
“Not a problem.”
“By the way, Sect Leader Chu, you’ve mentioned that you had an agreement with one of my forefathers. If I may ask, where’s he currently residing at?”
Lou Yun asked curiously.
“You won’t be able to enter even if you knew. I suggest you save yourself the trouble.”
“Alright then.”
Lou Yun had no choice but to concede.
“By the way, I’ve something to ask of you, Clan Leader Shang Long.”
“Please say, Sect Leader Chu.”
“Are you willing to… lead the Shang clan?”
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
It was clear that when Chu Kuangren said to lead the Shang Clan, it was to lead a branch clan. What Chu Kuangren meant was to take over the entire Shang Clan itself!
The main clan’s elder was appalled but he remained silent.
“Me? Taking over the Shang Clan?”
Shang Long was momentarily clueless when Chu Kuangren posed the question. He did not know how to answer at all.
The remaining clan members were tempted to just kick Shang Long aside when they observed his situation. How they wished to be in his place so that they could swiftly agree with Chu Kuangren’s proposal.
To lead the Shang Clan was the most powerful position any Shang clan members could dream to have.
“Leading the Shang clan… Are you sure I’m the right person?” Shang Long was hesitant.
“If I say you’re fit, then you’re fit.”
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
Although Chu Kuangren had killed the Shang clan’s Sage and their leader, the foundation of Shang clan was still there. Hence, he needed someone to manage and look after Shang clan, and there was no better person to do it than Shang Long.
First of all, Shang Long’s wife was the descendant of the White-Robed General. Chu Kuangren had promised the White-Robed General that his descendants would be well taken care of.
Secondly, Shang Long was only a member of a branch clan and had no close relationship with the main clan. Chu Kuangren did not need to worry that Shang Long would pull off any trickery if Chu Kuangren were to place him in the position.
Shang Long stood silent in his place for a while before he finally ground his teeth and said, “Sect Leader Chu, since you’ve granted me such a unique opportunity, then I shall give all I can to be the Clan Leader!”
Just like any other Shang Clan member, the privilege to manage the clan was irresistible to Shang Long.
The incidents from the past two days had reminded Chang Long just how important abilities and powers were to a person.
Shang Long was eager to take on the utmost important position of the Shang Clan to protect his family and achieve his ambition.
“Very well. Take your family along and follow me to the main clan’s headquarter tomorrow. From here onwards, you shall be known as the newest Clan Leader of the Shang Clan!”
Chu Kuangren said.
The main clan’s elder was in evident despair, for he knew that the Shang clan would effectively be under Chu Kuangren’s control from here onwards.
He could only seek comfort in the fact that the Clan Leader was still a member of the Shang clan. At least the Shang Clan need not be humiliated.
…
Fifth Bai Forefather returned to the Bai’s residence.
Bai Xueyun immediately sensed that something was off when he noticed it was only Fifth Bai Forefather who returned. “Fifth Forefather, what happened?”
“Fifth Forefather, where’s my son?”
The Bai Family Head was also confused.
Fifth Bai Forefather immediately exploded into rage. “Do you know that your son nearly brought the Bai family a great disaster?! I’ve personally executed him. His body’s just behind.”
The Fifth Bai Forefather said as he pointed towards the corpse that the clan bodyguard just dragged in.
The Bai Family Head’s face immediately went pale and he wailed in sorrow. “What just happened here? How could my… my son even caused such a thing in the first place?!”
“Fifth Bai Forefather, what exactly happened?”
Fifth Bai Forefather then narrated the entire incident to the group.
When he finished, Bai Xueyun could not help but be concerned. “What? You mean Shang Qingxue is attached to Chu Kuangren?!”
Upon losing his beloved son, the Bai Family Head said in anger, “Even if we did offend Chu Kuangren, my son didn’t deserve death. Why…”
Before he could even finish, Bai Xueyun unleashed a palm attack that sent him flying outside. Bai Xueyun said solemnly, “Didn’t deserve death? Do you know what the consequences of offending Chu Kuangren are? Do you wish for the entire Bai family to be buried alive?!”
The Bai Family Head spit out mouthfuls of blood, and he could not conceal his utter disbelief on his face. He could not comprehend that Chu Kuangren could instill such fear in the Bai family.
Just how terrifying could it be?!
