Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 257: The Shang Clan Discusses Countermeasures, Chu Kuangren Has Arrived

“My royal fiancé, I knew you’d come.”

After dealing with Shang Han, Princess Linglong walked up to Chu Kuangren. She looked at the sweetheart before her with uncontrollable joy in her eyes.

“Mm, are you alright?” Chu Kuangren asked.

“Your Spring Breeze Healing Technique is truly extraordinary. My injuries are fine now.” Princess Linglong said with a smile.

“That’s great.”

Chu Kuangren then looked at the Heaven’s Halberd which was stuck upside-down on the ground nearby. With a raise of his arm to channel his spiritual energy, he drew that weapon towards him.

Although Shang Han had refined the Heaven’s Halberd, his mark on it had disappeared since he was already dead. Once again, it was a weapon without an owner.

Everyone looked at the Boundary-Emperor Weapon with passion in their eyes.

After all, it was a Boundary-Emperor Weapon that had immeasurable power.

Although Shang Han was a Young Emperor, his strength was on par with an Honorable, and with the help of the Boundary-Emperor Weapon, he was able to unleash the battle strength of a Sage. That alone was a clear sign of how valuable and rare the Boundary-Emperor Weapon was.

What if an Honorable Supreme were to use that weapon?

Would their combat strength shoot through the roof?

Then again, now that the Boundary-Emperor Weapon had fallen into Chu Kuangren’s hands, none of them would dare steal it from him even if they had the courage of ten lions combined.

...

Inside the main hall of the royal palace.

The Royal Azure Dynasty King had prepared a banquet to entertain Chu Kuangren.

“My future son-in-law, do you truly intend to visit the Shang clan?”

The Royal Azure Dynasty King asked.

“Of course I do. Since I’ve announced it to the public earlier, how can I possibly go back on my word? ”

Chu Kuangren chuckled.

“No matter how you look at it, the Shang clan is still a sage orthodoxy. Wouldn’t it be too dangerous for you to go there like that?”

“The deaths of sixteen thousand and eight hundred Horizon Wing Sect cultivators cannot be in vain.”

Chu Kuangren replied.

The million-unit Tormented Army was released because of what Shang Han did, and in return, the Horizon Wing Sect had to suffer many casualties. Since Black Heaven Sect was Horizon Wing Sect’s master, they had to ask the Shang clan to repay their losses. Otherwise, who would be willing to affiliate themselves with the Black Heaven Sect?

“Since your mind has been made up, I won’t stop you. Though there’s something I need to discuss with you.”

“Feel free to speak so, father. We’re family after all.”

Princess Linglong was very pleased to hear how Chu Kuangren addressed her father. Even the Royal Azure Dynasty King was delighted.

“Well, I’m going to attempt ascension soon, and I’ve heard that the Black Heaven Sect has an ascension tool that can help redirect the surges of heavenly tribulation. I wonder if I can borrow that tool?” the Royal Azure King said.

The ascension tool he mentioned was none other than the Thundersoother Rods that were used during Honorable Xuan Qi’s ascension trial.

“That won’t be a problem. I’ll send word to Elder Ruyan later and have her arrange for the Thundersoother Rods to be sent over. Besides that, once this matter surrounding the Shang clan is over, I shall refine some medicinal pills for you to make sure that your ascension trial will go smoothly,” Chu Kuangren replied.

“That’s great.” The Royal Azure Dynasty King was overjoyed.

He had long heard of Chu Kuangren’s alchemy skills. If he could get some aid from the latter’s pills, he would be much more confident in passing the ascension trial. At this thought, he was much more pleased with Chu Kuangren.

Choosing to arrange his daughter’s marriage with Chu Kuangren was the best decision he had ever made. Even the him before would have never expected Chu Kuangren to achieve so many great things in such a short amount of time.

After spending a day in the Royal Azure Palace.

Chu Kuangren headed out to the Shang clan.

...

In the Scarlet Phoenix Domain.

Shang clan.

The whole Shang clan was terribly shaken and enraged when Shang Han’s protector returned carrying his head.

“This Chu Kuangren is just too brash!”

“How dare he kill our Young Emperor just because of a few lives. This guy truly is a lunatic.”

“You’re right. Does he really not know what the consequences are? Does he want to start a war between our orthodoxies?”

“Hmph, if it’s a war he seeks, then we shall oblige! Does he think we’re afraid of him!”

“We must be cautious.”

Inside a great hall, the higher-ups of the Shang clan were extremely enraged over Chu Kuangren’s act of killing Shang Han. Some of them were worried as well.

“Alright, let’s hurry and come up with some countermeasures.”

At that moment, someone’s voice interrupted everyone’s discussion.

It was a middle-aged man with an oval-shaped face who spoke. That person was the Shang Clan Leader, who was also Shang Han’s father

He was undoubtedly the most enraged at Shang Han’s death. However, as a Clan Leader, he knew very well that he could not afford to lose his rationale with the severity of this present situation.

Everyone gradually calmed down upon hearing him.

“Chu Kuangren’s strength is remarkable and shouldn’t be underestimated. After he killed both of Murong clan’s Sages, they had since fallen and became an honorable orthodoxy. In my opinion, we must not clash with him head-on.”

One of the elders spoke.

He was one of the more clear-headed people among the crowd and knew that Chu Kuangren should not be messed with. If they were to clash with him head-on, both sides will suffer losses.

“If we can’t use the hard way, then do we have to go easy on him and listen to his demands instead? That Chu Kuangren has killed our Young Emperor, and if we were to give in to him, wouldn’t our image be dragged along in the mud? Besides, even if we were to listen to what he wants, how can you ensure that Chu Kuangren will let us off the hook?”

Another elder objected.

“That’s right. I believe everyone here knows how the two Murong clan’s Sages fell as well. It’s all because of that disciple of his that Chu Kuangren went on a rampage at the Murong clan and killed both their Sages. That’s how much of a lunatic this guy is.”

“If we don’t prepare beforehand, we’ll end up like them.”

“That’s not necessarily true. That Murong Xuan was Chu Kuangren’s junior brother, so it’s quite understandable that he did something like this for him. Meanwhile, Horizon Wing Sect is simply a force that is affiliated with his sect. Even if some of their cultivators had died, I don’t think he’ll fight with us until our deaths.”

“That makes sense...”

Everyone continued to discuss, weighing the various options and countermeasures they had.

Finally, everyone decided to observe what Chu Kuangren would do and then react later. Even so, they still had to prepare to go to war with him at any time.

Soon, the whole Shang clan began to act.

Even their Sage treated it as if a great enemy was going to arrive!

On this day.

A mighty Illusive Mirage arrived in the air above the Shang clan.

The Shang Clan Leader and elders all rushed out.

“What a massive Fairy Boat!”

“I can’t believe Black Heaven Sect has a treasure like this.”

As the huge Illusive Mirage was suspended in the air above the Shang clan, all the cultivators of the Shang clan and even the ones in the Shang clan’s territory were shocked when they saw it.

Only the ones who knew the inside story had a grim expression on their faces.

They knew.

They knew that there was someone on that Illusive Mirage!

Someone so strong that he could turn the whole Shang clan upside down!

“He’s finally here.”

“I wonder whether the Shang clan will be able to survive this ordeal.”

“Chu Kuangren, huh? I’m curious to find out how unhinged he can be.”

Inside the depths of the Shang clan.

An old man, sitting with legs crossed on a mountain peak, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the Illusive Mirage with a chilly glint in his eyes.

“Chu Kuangren, I hope you don’t go too far. Otherwise, I’m afraid the Shang clan will be your burial place.”

That old man was also the one and only Shang clan’s Sage.

Although they only had one Sage, most of the other sage orthodoxies still did not dare underestimate the Shang clan. That was because of the strength that Sage had, which was higher than most of the Sages of their sage orthodoxies.

The Shang clan’s Sage had made tons of preparation for Chu Kuangren’s visit this time. Even if they were to start a conflict with Chu Kuangren, the Shang clan’s Sage was confident that he could defeat him!

Chu Kuangren left Lan Yu onboard the Illusive Mirage and entered the Shang clan’s territory alone.

One by one, the disciples looked at him, shocked by his good appearance while fearful as they prepared for combat.
