Chapter 129: Just Roar If There’s Trouble On The Road, Finally Met The Real Person
Chu Kuangren was not surprised when he heard the Lord of the Winged Human Tribe’s stance.
Ever since the start, he had remained on the same spot with a look of an outsider, not the slightest bit worried about his situation at all.
It was as if the one who killed the Young Emperor was not him.
“Brother Chu, I’m terribly sorry that something like this has happened. The insubordination of my men was a disgrace to my tribe, I apologize for their behavior.” the Lord of the Winged Human Tribe said with a forced smile.
“It’s alright, you’re not the one at fault here. However, now that this has happened, I’m afraid we can’t stay here any longer.”
“Then I shall not hold you back, Brother Chu.”
The Lord of the Winged Human Tribe then looked at Lan Yu and said, “Lan Yu, I shall respect your choice to follow Brother Chu. But I want you to always remember that the doors of the Winged Human Tribe shall forever be open to you.”
“And you can hold on to Jue Tianlan’s Primordial Emperor’s Essence since I believe it’ll be helpful for you in the future. If there’s anything you need or any help you seek, feel free to look for me whenever you wish.”
“Thank you for your understanding, my Lord.” Lan Yu’s expression softened at his words.
Holding onto Jue Tianlan’s Primordial Emperor’s Essence beside Lan Yu, Chu Kuangren raised his eyebrows. He never had the intention to return that Primordial Emperor’s Essence in the first place anyway.
Since he had saved the whole Winged Human Tribe, it would not be too much of him to take their Primordial Emperor’s Essence as a reward. However, the Winged Human Tribe Lord phrased it as if he was willingly giving the Primordial Emperor’s Essence to Lan Yu instead, like it was a favor given to her.
Moreover, those words of his obviously expressed his intention to strengthen his relationship with Lan Yu. After all, they were both winged humans. If Lan Yu were to become an Emperor in the future, her character made it impossible for her to forget to take care of the Winged Human Tribe then.
‘Tsk, a person like him truly deserves to be the tribe’s Lord.’
Chu Kuangren could care less as long as the Winged Human Tribe does not go against Lan Yu. It would not hurt for them to show some careful thinking as well.
Just like that, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu left the Winged Human Tribe.
However, Chu Kuangren did not intend to return to the Black Heaven Sect.
Having been in closed-door meditation for three years, Chu Kuangren had heard about many new sky-prides who had emerged. He wanted to explore the world properly and have a taste of the new sky-prides.
…
Above the sea of clouds, a Fairy boat was sailing peacefully in the air.
Lan Yu was sitting on deck trying to fuse with Jue Tianlan’s Primordial Emperor’s Essence. She succeeded not long after and gained deeper insights into the Dao.
Chu Kuangren simply watched on beside her, showing little interest in the Primordial Emperor’s Essence.
He already had the Eternal Emperor Scripture, which was much more valuable than the Emperor’s Essence.
“Where shall we go next, Master?”
Lan Yu, who had just fused with the Primordial Emperor’s Essence, asked curiously.
“It doesn’t matter where we go. Anywhere is fine I guess,” Chu Kuangren replied casually. In fact, he had no clear ideas on where to go now.
He had used the purpose of mental sparring to visit the various orthodoxies in the past. Yet now that his cultivation and Dao Techniques were almost above that of an Honorable Supreme, he had no reason to visit those orthodoxies anymore. That was unless he went to find a Sage, of course.
Then again, the whereabouts of a Sage was elusive and hard to find. How could one ever find a Sage that easily?
He had never even seen the Sage of the Black Heaven Sect before too.
“Master, there’s a commotion ahead.”
Lan Yu suddenly mentioned. In front of them, another Fairy boat was under siege by a group of black flying beasts.
“Those are black-feathered demonic beasts!”
One look and Chu Kuangren could identify the species of those demonic beasts.
There were around ten cultivators, all who were fighting against the beasts’ attacks with various dazzling Dao techniques, on the Fairy boat.
However, the number of demonic beasts far exceeded the cultivators. Not only were the cultivators seriously injured after a few bouts, but the Fairy boat was greatly damaged too. If the fight continued, those cultivators would soon be wiped out.
“D*mn it, these demonic beasts are too troublesome to deal with.”
“If this goes on, I’m afraid it’ll be the end of us here.”
“G*dd*mn it, this is just too frustrating!”
“I don’t want to die just yet.”
Some of the cultivators on the Fairy boat panicked while some were enraged, but the sharp shrieking of the flying demonic beasts continued to echo in their ears. It was as if they were laughing at their impending doom.
Then, a surge of Daoist Rhyme suddenly erupted from elsewhere and broke through the group of demonic beasts. At least a dozen of those beasts were instantly blown up into a bloody mist in the air.
The sudden attack caught the cultivators and demonic beasts so off guard that they all looked towards the direction in which it came from.
A Fairy boat could be seen coming towards them through the sea of clouds. On the deck was a man and woman, both outstanding figures in their own way.
Those two were Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu.
“Lowly animals, how dare you to injure others before me. Now die!” Chu Kuangren stood on deck and said coldly.
As the violent wind blew, his dark black hair danced and the ends of his clothes fluttered. The Banished Immortal Aura instantly awed every cultivator on the Fairy boat.
“Please save us, fellow Daoist brother.”
One of the Nascent Soul cultivators said loudly.
“Don’t you all worry. We should help each other when we see trouble. With me around, these demonic beasts will not be able to hurt you.” Chu Kuangren had a dignified look on his face which moved the cultivators present.
‘This fellow Daoist brother truly has a chivalrous heart!’
Chu Kuangren was also very satisfied with his entrance as well. If there was trouble on the road then he would help, but if the time came for him to act ostentatiously then he would too!
After all, those demonic beasts were merely a group of small fry to him, hence saving that group of cultivators was just a small effort.
Flapping its wings, a demonic beast headed towards Chu Kuangren and when its sharp claws were under the sun, a chilly ray of light was reflected.
Many more demonic beasts followed after and flew towards Chu Kuangren.
Without pulling his sword out, Chu Kuangren deployed his Battle Monarch Domain and enveloped a thousand-mile radius within the surrounding void.
Just like that, the large number of flying demonic beasts were immobilized in the air, unable to move!
“Die.”
All Chu Kuangren did was raise a hand and his spiritual power surged, unleashing the Human Mountain Stamp.
A sudden explosion erupted and groups of demonic beasts were instantly dead. Even the Golden Core or Nascent Soul level demonic beasts could not shield themselves against the remaining shockwaves.
The very sight of the Human Mountain Stamp’s fearsome power shocked the onlooking crowd, while the Battle Monarch Domain made them suck in a cold breath.
“This— this is a Battle Monarch Domain!”
“I can’t believe that young man is a Battle Monarch cultivator. How old is he? To think he has such a cultivation level at such a young age.”
“Which sage orthodoxy’s sky-pride is this?”
Most of the cultivators atop the Fairy boat were from the smaller sects and none of them had a protector around them. Moreover, the highest cultivation level among them was only at Nascent Soul Realm, hence a Battle Monarch cultivator was quite a powerful figure in their perspective.
After witnessing Chu Kuangren’s terrifying strength, the remaining monsters dared not stay any longer as they hurriedly fluttered their wings and fled.
Not long after, the flying demonic beasts were nowhere to be seen in the sky. Only the injured cultivators and a damaged Fairy boat remained — a sign that a battle was fought.
On the Fairy boat, an old Nascent Soul cultivator walked up to Chu Kuangren and greeted him respectfully. “Greetings fellow Daoist brother, I’m the elder of the Iron Hill Sect. We are deeply grateful for your kind assistance, would you allow me to ask your name?”
“My name is Chu Kuangren. Greetings, fellow Daoists.”
“Chu Kuangren? Are you the legendary Chu Kuangren who defeated five Young Emperors single-handedly?” The Nascent Soul elder was shocked.
The others were even more shocked.
‘I could tell from the start that Chu Kuangren is not some normal guy. Then again, I can’t believe he’s the legendary sky-pride Chu Kuangren!’
“So you’re Chu Kuangren! Greetings, Brother Chu!” Then, a young man walked out from the Fairy boat and looked at Chu Kuangren with excitement.
“Yup, it’s me.”
“That’s great! I’ve finally met the real person now. My name Yun Feiyang, and I’m a wandering cultivator from the Northern Lingdao State. Three years ago, Brother Chu vanquished a hundred thousand demonic cultivators in the Northern Lingdao State, saving hundreds of millions of people from the demonic onslaught and was deemed a great savior of the state. I’ve heard about you for a long time now, and I’m grateful to be able to finally meet you today.”
After seeing the idol whom he had admired for a long time, Yun Feiyang’s expression of excitement was beyond words. He was so close to asking Chu Kuangren for an autograph.
