Chapter 68: The Seventh Forefather’s Drastic Action, A Single Warning
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everything that Chu Kuangren did within the Secret Realm was soon known to everyone.
Everyone in the crowd of Honorable cultivators was shocked speechless.
‘Slaying a sage?’
That impact caused by the news was too great for them to handle. They could only feel that it was all too absurd and unreal.
Even Elder Ruyan herself thought that the news about Chu Kuangren was exaggerated.
If an Honorable Realm cultivator had already felt as such, what about the others? The tens of thousands of cultivators that came to the Northern seas must all be shocked to their core by the news.
“Chu Kuangren slaying a sage? By the Gods, is that true?”
“Even the Honorables have admitted it.”
“Since the signs of a sage dying had already appeared a while ago, how can this be fake? This Chu Kuangren is just too scary.”
As the news was spread among the cultivators, one could only imagine that Chu Kuangren’s name would once again cause a sensation in the world when they all returned to their respective domains.
The Azure Dragon Domain aside, it would reckon that all four domains would be shocked by the news.
Whoosh…
A stream of light appeared from the Secret Realm. Seeing that it was a young man in blood-colored robes, the Yasha Tribe’s Honorable Ye Xue hurried towards him.
“Spirit Blood Child, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, just a small injury to deal with.”
The Spirit Blood Child’s expression was an unpleasant one as he spoke.
“Who did this to you?” the Honorable Ye Xue asked seriously.
“Chu Kuangren!”
Honorable Ye Xue’s expression changed slightly, but he was not that shocked. “Within the entire Secret Realm, I guess he’s the only one who’s able to hurt you.”
He also noticed that the cinnabar jewel on the Spirit Blood Child’s forehead had disappeared.
That was a failsafe he had provided to the Spirit Blood Child for use during life-threatening situations. ‘I can’t believe he had to resort to using this. This Chu Kuangren is a formidable person indeed.’
Just when almost everyone within the Secret Realm had come out, Elder Ruyan looked towards that place and wondered. “Why hasn’t Kuangren and the others come out yet?”
As she finished speaking, a few figures walked out of the Secret Realm.
They were the disciples of the Black Heaven Sect, led by none other than Chu Kuangren himself.
Numerous cultivators looked in their direction.
Among them, some had a fiery passion in their gazes, some others had a look of yearning, while others looked terrified…
The moment Chu Kuangren stepped out of the Secret Realm, he could immediately feel multiple terrifying and domineering auras enveloping above and locking on to him!
“Chu Kuangren, pay back my Young Emperor’s life now!”
Honorable Lei Huo instantly made his move.
As the domineering aura of that Honorable Realm cultivator erupted, it caused the surrounding area to rumble.
“Old man! You dare cause trouble!”
Knowing that Honorable Lei Huo would make a move, Elder Ruyan had prepared herself for that moment he did. Just when he took action, she immediately went and halted him.
However, she alone could only stop Honorable Lei Huo and not the other Honorable Realm cultivators who were rushing towards Chu Kuangren.
Elder Ruyan’s expression changed. “Kuangren!”
Despite many Honorable Realm cultivators targeting him, Chu Kuangren stood his place unmoved. His expression was calm and indifferent, and not a single sign of panic could be found.
“Hmph.”
A cold snort rang from within the void.
Following that, multiple terrifying sword rays were seen erupting from the void and headed towards the Honorable Realm cultivators of the Thunder Falcon Tribe.
“What!”
“Not good!”
Each sword ray locked onto every single one of the Honorable Realm cultivators. In the blink of an eye, multiple clusters of blood mists exploded in the air, killing the Honorable Realm cultivators simultaneously!
That level of strength was extremely hard to achieve even for an Honorable Realm cultivator.
“It’s Chu Kuangren’s protector. He’s making his move now!”
“This level of power… Honorable Supreme! It’s an Honorable Supreme! The Black Heaven Sect has assigned an Honorable Supreme as his protector! ”
The experienced cultivators from the present Orthodoxies were all shocked.
An Honorable Supreme was an absolute powerhouse no matter in which orthodoxy. There were no more than twenty known Honorable Supremes in the Azure Dragon Domain, with most of them being the highest authority within either the Sage Orthodoxies or Sage Tribes.
However, such a powerful existence had been secretly guarding Chu Kuangren!
“Anyone who dares touch him will die!”
The voice of the Seventh Forefather resounded through the air.
Elder Ruyan was delighted before she became a bit confused. ‘This is definitely the Seventh Forefather’s voice, but why does he sound so much younger?’
“Honorable Supreme!” Upon hearing that, Honorable Lei Huo stopped and his face was horribly grim from seeing the clusters of blood mists that exploded in the air just now.
Not only did he lose a Young Emperor, but he now lost a few Honorables as well.
This excursion into the Secret Realm had cost the Thunder Falcon Tribe greatly.
“My Thunder Falcon Tribe shall remember this!”
After saying that, Honorable Lei Huo was going to leave.
He could not do anything with an Honorable Supreme there anyway.
“Oh, you still dare threaten me?”
The Seventh Forefather’s voice resounded again. Yet this time along with that, a ray of sword beam emanated terrifying surges of Daoist Rhymes that shot forth and locked on to Honorable Lei Huo.
“What!” Honorable Lei Huo panicked and lost his composure. He then quickly tried to block the attack with his own as violent jolts of lightning, mixed with flames, blasted out from him.
However, the difference between an Honorable and an Honorable Supreme was just too great. The indomitable sword ray tore through the lightning flames and ripped off one of Honorable Lei Huo’s arms.
“My arm…” The Honorable Lei Huo’s expression soon went pale.
“I’m letting you live so that you can return to inform your tribe’s elders. Let the lads of a younger generation settle their matters among themselves. If you seek to cause any trouble, my Black Heaven Sect shall not hesitate to go to war with your orthodoxy!”
The Seventh Forefather spoke in an extremely unforgiving tone.
He was giving them a warning.
A warning that was directed specifically towards the Thunder Falcon Tribe, and towards the other orthodoxies present as well. It was a show of the Black Heaven Sect’s determination and grit.
Chu Kuangren would no doubt be heavily guarded by them!
‘Matters concerning the younger generation shall only be handled by the people of that generation themselves.’
‘If you the elder ones seek to bully the young lads, then the Black Heaven Sect shall fight until the very demise of their whole orthodoxy. We shall never let you off that easily!’
Indeed.
A flicker of light flashed across the eyes of the Honorables from the other orthodoxies.
Chu Kuangren was just too amazing.
If allowed to mature and grow, he would definitely become a force to be reckoned with. The intent to prevent Chu Kuangren from growing more mature and powerful by killing him was indeed present within their minds.
However, the actions of the Seventh Forefather made most of them give up on that notion.
A war between orthodoxies was no joke.
“Let’s leave!”
Despite having a severed arm, the Honorable Lei Huo had no intention to risk his life in a fight. Holding his severed arm, he disgracefully left the scene.
Risking his life in a fight? What could he ever use to fight against an Honorable Supreme?
“Are you alright, Kuangren?”
Elder Ruyan hurried towards him and asked.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others secretly felt jealous beside him.
‘Only caring about our Elder Senior Brother huh? How nice.’
“I’m alright. I apologize for making you and the elders worry.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled. When he was not causing trouble, he did look somewhat humble and gentle talking to the people close to him.
The more the experienced cultivators from the other orthodoxies looked, the more they felt that he was truly remarkable. They even increasingly felt that Chu Kuangren was indeed a living dragon among men, and at that, they could not help but sigh.
Why did such a remarkable and talented person not appear within their orthodoxy?
It was a pity, really such a pity indeed.
“Elder Senior Brother of the Black Heaven Sect, we have something to ask you.”
At that time, an Honorable suddenly spoke.
“Sure, of course, my senior. Please ask ahead.”
“Was there indeed a sage living within the Secret Realm? Did you really kill him as well?”
The crowd stared at Chu Kuangren with piercing gazes, waiting attentively for his reply.
“Yes.” Chu Kuangren nodded slightly.
Despite knowing the answer earlier, everyone in the crowd could not help but feel shocked when they heard it personally from Chu Kuangren himself.
“What was actually going on in there? Can you elaborate on that please?”
They did not believe that Chu Kuangren could single-handedly kill a sage.
There must be some hidden reason for all of that to happen.
“Gladly.”
Seeing that it was not something shameful to talk about, Chu Kuangren told everyone about the Black Light Sage that was sealed within the Secret Realm, who nurtured the Black Death Beasts and consumed sky-prides as his nourishment.
When he reached the part where he killed the Black Light Sage, Chu Kuangren only mentioned that it was because of his fortunate breakthrough that he could ascend to the Paradise Realm cultivation level in time. Moreover, it was only with the help of the Luminous Moon Sage’s remnant spirit that he managed to succeed. During this part, he did not even mention anything about Princess Linglong.
Towards the direction of the Royal Azure Dynasty’s camp and in her horse-drawn carriage, Princess Linglong was listening to Chu Kuangren’s recollection of the events that transpired. Upon hearing what he said, she grinned. “I wonder, is this his way of preserving my image? Heh, it seems you do have some ounce of conscience after all.”
