Chapter 266: Are You Willing To Lead The Shang Clan, The Bai Family Young Emperor’s Fear
writer:Carefree Smile      update:2022-07-20 15:54
  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?!

  Chapter 267: Marrow Cleansing Pool, Shang Qingxue Wants To Join The Black Heaven Sect, The Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler’s Ascension

  “Fifth Forefather, do you think I should do something to atone for our mistakes? Although Chu Kuangren did let you go, there’s no guarantee he doesn’t resent us,” Bai Xueyun said with a frown.

  The higher one stood, the clearer they understood just how scary Chu Kuangren could be.

  His swift action, his incomprehensible combat strength, his terrifying influence — even a sage orthodoxy would think twice before provoking him. The Bai family was afraid that the lunatic would one day step foot into their place.

  Bai Xueyun could not help but shiver upon recalling that he had once attempted to harm this lunatic’s friend. The next few nights would probably be a sleepless one for him.

  “Hmm, indeed.” The Fifth Bai Forefather contemplated.

  “I shall make the necessary preparation immediately.”


  On the next day, Bai Xueyun had amassed a large pile of precious treasures and sent the Fifth Bai Forefather to deliver these gifts as an apology.

  However, they did not expect that Chu Kuangren and a few of them were already gone……

  “Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned a Legendary grade Item, Marrow Cleansing Pool!”


  Marrow Cleansing Pool?

  Chu Kuangren opened the inventory and studied the description as his eyes brightened up.

  As the name suggested, the Marrow Cleansing Pool was a pool that could cleanse one’s marrow and enhance their bone structures.

  Whether it was a Daoist Physique or an ordinary physique, a cultivator’s bone structure would typically be fixed the moment they were born……

  Without manipulating it, a cultivator’s bone structure would not undergo any changes until the day they die, so any items that could alter one’s bone structure were considered to be incredibly rare. Even within the scope of medicinal pills, only high-grade medicines such as Sage-grade medicine could achieve such a feat.

  Meanwhile, the Marrow Cleansing Pool could enhance one’s bone structure just by soaking one’s body into it. If such an item would be made known to everyone, it would surely cause a mess.

  Of course, despite its remarkable abilities, the Marrow Cleansing Pool was not without its limitations. For instance, if one’s bone structure was already in an excellent state, the marginal benefit would be minimal.

  However, it was also impossible for an ordinary Daoist Physique to emerge as a Supreme Daoist Physique after soaking in it. Such a feat was no doubt unachievable.

  All in all, the Marrow Cleansing Pool was still considered an impressive item. The ability to enhance one’s bone structure would grant any cultivator an extra hope to ascend into a higher realm!

  “With this, the Black Heaven Sect would surely produce many more capable warriors!” Chu Kuangren said excitedly.

  Although Chu Kuangren could not form Daoist Physiques through this item, it was still sufficient to enhance the bone structure of every disciple.

  Chu Kuangren was content with this gift, and all that was left was for him to return to Black Heaven Sect and to find a suitable spot for the Marrow Cleansing Pool.

  “Master, we’ll soon be arriving at the Shang clan’s headquarter.”


  Lan Yu said to Chu Kuangren.

  “Oh, alright.”


  The Illusive Mirage was parked above the headquarters before the group unboarded the vehicle. Having received the news, the main clan elders were already congregated in a hall.

  In the great hall of the Shang clan.

  “From today onwards, Shang Long shall be chosen as the newest clan leader of the Shang clan. Is there anyone amongst you who object to this decision?” Chu Kuangren asked.

  The elders looked at each other and knew none of them would dare object.

  “We have no objections.”


  One of the elders said.

  “Very well.”


  With Chu Kuangren’s support, Shang Long’s transition into the Shang Clan Leader went smoothly. There were no dramatic quarrels nor there were any objections. It took only a few days before the entire affair was concluded.

  Before Chu Kuangren left.

  Chu Kuangren passed the Ancient Lou Sword and a wooden doll to Lou Yun and said, “This sword contains three strains of my sword qi, whereas this wooden doll contains one of my sword qi clones. Carry these two with you at all times and use it when you’re in danger.”


  The group gazed at Lou Yun’s items with envy.

  After all, these parting gifts from Chu Kuangren were enough to make Lou Yun untouchable in the Shang clan. Even a Supreme Honourable would undoubtedly perish under Chu Kuangren’s single strain of sword qi!

  “Thank you, Sect Leader Chu.”


  Lou Yun received these items in panic.

  Shang Long then said from the side, “Sect Leader Chu, thanks to you, Qingxue has awakened the Deep Freeze Physique within her. I’m intending to send her to the Black Heaven Sect for further training. Would you be willing to accept her under your care?”


  Chu Kuangren looked deeply into Shang Long’s eyes. He knew that Shang Long’s decision was a way of him conveying his loyalty.

  Shang Long becoming the Clan Leader was all thanks to Chu Kuangren, so Shang Long knew that maintaining a close relationship with Chu Kuangren was of utmost importance.

  Sending Shang Qingxue to the Black Heaven Sect was similar to how a country would typically send an ambassador to another. It was a move to assure Chu Kuangren that he would have no ill intention.

  After all, if Shang Long’s daughter was in Black Heaven Sect, there was no way he would betray Chu Kuangren.

  Chu Kuangren peeped at Shang Qingxue and noticed only calmness on her face. There were no signs of coercion or helplessness at all.

  Evidently, she had long been aware of such a decision. In fact, she may even have discussed this issue with Shang Long before this conversation.

  “Of course. The Black Heaven Sect has its own set of entry tests to pass before one can enter. However, I won’t be returning to the Black Heaven Sect for the foreseeable future. If you’re truly keen on this decision, you may go ahead and participate on your own,” Chu Kuangren replied.

  To be honest, he did not care much about the intentions these people had. After all, with Chu Kuangren’s powers, there was no way they could escape from him should they choose to wrong him.

  “I’ll make sure I pass and join the Black Heaven Sect.”


  Shang Qingxue looked ahead determinedly.

  “Alright then, goodbye.”
……

  After leaving the Shang Clan, Chu Kuangren continued to wander around.

  Just like he said, he was not returning to the Black Heaven Sect for the foreseeable future. Since he had stayed there for a year, it would be dull for him to return so quickly after finally leaving for just a few days.

  Instead, Chu Kuangren returned to the Royal Azure Dynasty, where he assisted the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler in creating several medicinal pills such as the Vibrant Rejuvenation Pills and the Spring Slumber Pills. These would ensure a safe ascension for the ruler.

  Soon, the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler began his ascension.

  As compared to the ascension process that Honorable Xuan Qi went through, the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler required a far bigger defense. His army consisted of a million men strong had formed three defensive parameters around him, ensuring that no one would come and disrupt the process.

  Meanwhile, several skilled cultivators were also watching from the dark.

  “Our Ruler is ascending, let’s not slack off and pay attention to everything.”


  “Of course.”


  “Watch out especially for those bastards from the Nine Head Clan.”


  “Hmph, if those Nine Head Clan members dare to come and disturb our Ruler, we’ll kill however many people they send!”


  “Let’s not loosen our guard.”


  The Nine Head Clan was a clan of people who were at odds with the Royal Azure Dynasty.

  The people of the Nine Head Clans typically lived in impoverished areas and had limited access to cultivation resources. As a result, the people of Nine Head Clans would often cause chaos in the Royal Azure Dynasty’s territories as they looted their resources. They were each other’s enemies.

  Now that the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler was going through ascension, it was entirely plausible that the Nine Head Clan members would come and make a mess of things.

  “Well, with that person here, I don’t think even a Sage would dare come and attack us.”


  At that moment, one of the cultivators whispered.

  The other cultivators too looked to the top of a tower and could hardly suppress their excitement.

  In one of the palace’s towers, a breeze swept past the white-robed young man who had a delicate longsword strapped to his waist.

  Just one individual and one sword, silent and moving as if merging into the realms that existed between them.

  Such an unprecedented remarkable individual.

  Such an unparalleled sword.

  Behind this person, who stood on the city’s wall, came a thunderous boom as the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler unleashed a mighty aura during his ascension. Before this person, there was nothing but silence in the streets as no one dared to make a single move.
