Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 81, Mysterious Visitor (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections)

"Brother Liao!"

Entering the room, now Chu Ming’s strength had surpassed Liao Wu, naturally he would not call him senior brother. Sitting down on either side of the table, Chu Ming was puzzled, not knowing why Liao Wu had sought him out.

"Brother Chu, you should have encountered an assassination attempt when you came, right?" Liao Wu said slowly, his voice sounding somewhat weak.

"Yes, did Brother Liao also encounter it?" Chu Ming nodded, without any concealment and instead questioned in return.

"Indeed, this wave of assassinations seems to be sweeping across the Great Yan Kingdom. In different places, I have heard news of many sect disciples meeting their demise."

Liao Wu said gravely, taking out a blood-red token from his bosom. Chu Ming picked it up and saw that it was identical to those he had found on several black-clad men.

"Our Cyan Yang Sect has also lost quite a few disciples, such as Ma Fei, ranked fifth on the Cyan Yang List, and Xiao Ci, ranked tenth. Among them, there were several experts from the Cyan Yang List!"

Liao Wu said solemnly, Chu Ming put down the token in his hand and asked indifferently, "I wonder what Brother Liao’s purpose is in seeking me out this time...."

If it was just these matters, he thought Liao Wu should know he was aware, and there was no need for him to come.

"Actually, I came mainly to tell you, if a beast tide occurs, be very cautious of the martial artists beside you!"

Liao Wu said meaningfully, and then he got up to leave, leaving Chu Ming alone in the room to ponder.

He was contemplating Liao Wu’s last words when suddenly a thought flashed in his mind. Could there be demon dao martial artists among the human martial artists?

Shaking his head, Chu Ming closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took out a middle-grade spirit stone from his storage ring to start cultivating. Today, ’Fire Burning True Skill’ broke through to the Fifth Layer, and the spiritual power within his body surged like a torrential river, becoming more domineering in its influence.

Due to the breakthrough in his cultivation technique, Chu Ming’s cultivation had also progressed slightly, advancing directly from Early Stage Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm to Late Stage Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm. Only his body refining technique showed no progress.

The next morning.

Chu Ming began practicing the body forging techniques recorded in the ’Fire Element Body Forging Chapter’, practicing Blast Flame Fist repeatedly. He had already cultivated Blast Flame Fist to mastery, displaying an intrinsic charm, almost like it was alive. freewebnøvel.com

However, after each practice of Blast Flame Fist, Chu Ming frowned. As his ’Fire Element Body Forging Chapter’ advanced to the Third Layer, the effect of Blast Flame Fist steadily diminished. One session of Blast Flame Fist only increased his strength by a few pounds, which was incredibly slow for someone carrying sixty thousand pounds of great strength.

Yet, he had no choice but to continue practicing Blast Flame Fist again and again. In no time, shadows of countless figures flashed in the inn’s courtyard, with powerful winds ceaselessly sweeping through the area.

.....

At the border between the Great Yan Kingdom and Celestial River Kingdom lies a steep canyon known as Life and Death Gorge, resembling a lurking giant beast with ferocious features. The river within the gorge rushes fiercely, occasionally accompanied by the cries of monkeys. It is said that the Life and Death Gorge was split open by a single sword slash from a King in the Life and Death Realm.

Life and Death Gorge stands like a formidable barrier between the Great Yan Kingdom and Celestial River Kingdom, completely blocking passage between them. To cross it, boats or flying magical beasts are required.

At this moment, a gigantic magical beast was flying above Life and Death Gorge at a speed surpassing the sound barrier. On this beast, a menacing aura spread in all directions, scaring away all the birds in the sky.

Its black feathers were like sharp swords, directly piercing the air, causing the surrounding air currents to disperse. Just one look at such a flying magical beast would make anyone’s heart tremble.

A Seventh Level Middle Tier Demon Beast, Devouring Demon Eagle!

A Seventh Level Demon Beast’s strength is comparable to a strong practitioner in the Guiyuan Realm. Now, it has been subdued and used as a mount, which would certainly cause an enormous uproar if seen by other martial artists.

On the back of the Devouring Demon Eagle, two figures stood straight like flagpoles. Both wore the same attire: red robes embroidered with plum blossoms, looking rather flamboyant. It should be..... the uniform of a sect.

These two individuals looked very unusual. One was as thin as a skeleton, with deep-set eyes, barely any vitality, showing numerous blood vessels and bones beneath his skin, with cracked lips, as if a gust of wind could knock him over.

The other was quite the opposite, obese like a beast, with a waist several times thicker than an average person, weighing hundreds of pounds, with a face barely displaying discernible features, tiny eyes resembling soybeans.

"Brother, why did Master send us to the Great Yan Kingdom? And to help guard that ridiculous Bai Family of the four great families?"

The obese man’s heart was puzzled, wearing a face full of discontent. Considering their identities, being dispatched to such a remote place and having to help others unconditionally seemed absurd.

"Watch your mouth!" The thin man said hoarsely, his gaze turning towards the distance where the direction of Great Yan City lay. At such a height, he could barely see the outline of the Great Yan City, vague and misty.

"I heard that a few months ago, Patriarch Wanshui accepted a direct disciple in the Great Yan Kingdom! It must be someone from the Bai Family!"

The thin man took a deep breath and spoke slowly, explaining to the obese man.

"Patriarch Wanshui? A direct disciple?" The obese man was instantly shocked, with countless jealousy slowly burning in his heart. Patriarch Wanshui was a Patriarch in the Realm of Transcendence, one of the sect’s three great patriarchs, with unparalleled cultivation and great power within the sect, even the sect leader had to show respect.

As far as he knew, this was the first time Patriarch Wanshui had accepted a disciple and could possibly be the last, meaning being taken as a direct disciple by Patriarch Wanshui was akin to ascending to the heavens in a single step, giving them absolute authority within the sect, even inner sect elders had to heed their words.

He didn’t expect that someone from the small Great Yan Kingdom would catch the eye of Patriarch Wanshui. The Great Yan Kingdom was considered a barren place within the Celestial Realm, merely a small country, and the talents here would be considered ordinary elsewhere.

The two served as stewards within the sect for many years, understanding well the abundance of talent in the Celestial Realm, but those worthy of the attention of a Transcendence Realm patriarch were very few.

Now the obese man finally understood the purpose behind their master’s deployment here. Knowing that flattering requires comprehensive measures, if the direct disciple of Patriarch Wanshui were to know of their actions, their master’s status would greatly benefit.

For a moment, the two on the back of the Devouring Demon Eagle fell silent, as the Great Yan Kingdom loomed ever closer....
