Chapter 227: Chu Kuangren Descends Into The World Once Again, Shocking The World
Outside the Black Heaven Sect’s mountain entrance.
For the last one year or so, a few teahouses had opened within several miles from this mountain entrance.
The businesses of these few teahouses were quite bad, but they remained open because the owners of these teahouses were spies for various great sage orthodoxies.
Spies who were sent to observe the Black Heaven Sect.
A year ago, Chu Kuangren killed two of the Murong clan’s two great Sages, shocking the world. This made the sage orthodoxies of Azure Dragon Domain especially fearful, and because of that, Black Heaven Sect’s influence became stronger as well.
Every sage orthodoxy wondered if Black Heaven Sect would take this opportunity to expand their territory and strengthen their influence, therefore posing a threat to themselves?
However, much to their surprise, Black Heaven Sect did not show any sign of expanding their forces even though they had become a great force.
On the contrary, Black Heaven Sect had become more low-profile than they previously were, not showing any movements at all, and this left a lot of people scratching their heads.
Even so, many orthodoxies still dared not let their guard down and had instead sent quite a few spies to keep a close eye on Black Heaven Sect.
The few teahouses outside the mountain entrance were the venues in which the spies gathered.
“Boss, don’t you think this Black Heaven Sect has been unusually quiet? It’s been a year, but they haven’t done anything in particular. I feel like their influence has slowly dwindled,” a dark-skinned man said.
Beside him, a middle-aged man said indifferently, “This is what I call the true brilliance of Black Heaven Sect. A year ago, had Black Heaven Sect went all out with their climbing influence, it would have surely attracted a backlash from the few other sage orthodoxies.”
“Now, it may look like they were not acting at all, but the truth is they’re actually amassing their power secretly. It looks like their influence has begun to fade, but it is still a fact that Chu Kuangren had slain two Sages, and nobody still dares to do anything to them.”
At that, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, “I’m afraid everyone has underestimated this young Sect Leader. He may be young, but he definitely has his own unique style of dealing with stuff. His methods are one of a kind.”
“Pfft, who even dares to underestimate him? He can kill Sages, and that’s just too abnormal. Speaking of which, this Chu Kuangren has stayed in the Black Heaven Sect for almost a year now and we haven’t once seen him in person yet.”
“Rumor has it that this person has incredibly exquisite, peerless looks. I’m quite interested to witness what that truly is. Eh, boss, what’s up with you?”
The dark-skinned man suddenly realized that his surroundings had turned into pin-drop silence while he was talking. The middle-aged man was staring at a place afar with an incredible grim look on his face, and his eyes were filled with grave shock.
It was not just the middle-aged man.
Everybody in the few teahouses now had a similarly solemn look on their faces and a similar shock in their eyes. They were all looking in the same direction.
The dark-skinned man followed the people’s gazes and looked in that direction.
What met his eyes were a man and a woman who were walking down from the mountain trail, slowly striding towards them. They both had striking and unrivaled good looks.
This was especially for the man who was walking in front. He was donned in a wide-sleeved white robe, his raven hair at a waist’s length, with an exquisite sword draped over his belt. The aura that he emitted was almost divine.
The picturesque sceneries of nature in front of him seem to pale in comparison.
The dark-skinned man recognized who he was with just one look.
Chu Kuangren!
This person right in front of him was the one who was feared by all orthodoxies, the one who made all other sky-prides paled in comparison — Chu Kuangren!
“Didn’t you want to have a look at him? How does it feel?”
The middle-aged man forced himself to keep his composure, but the tone of his voice was still uncontrollably shaken.
“He truly is peerless!” the dark-skinned man said.
Under everyone’s limelight, Chu Kuangren led Lan Yu down towards the crowd, then sat in front of the middle-aged man.
Everyone’s first reaction was to raise their guard and brace themselves as if facing an impending great enemy, but soon after, they reverted to just a bitter smile deep down in their hearts.
In face of such a persona, they did not have the means of defending themselves anyway. There was no use for any sort of vigilance or preparation.
“Boss, I’ll have two bowls of tea.” Chu Kuangren let out a faint smile.
“Sure, sure.” The middle-aged man hastily fetched out their teahouse’s best tea leaves before he poured out two bowls for Chu Kuangren and his companion.
“How long have you guys been waiting here?”
Chu Kuangren drank the tea with a smile on his face.
“About a year.”
“Ah, that’s long enough. Time for all of you to disassemble then.”
The middle-aged man exchanged glances with a few of his men and let out a helpless laugh.
Since Chu Kuangren had already asked them to go, how did they dare say another word?
“Yes, we got it.”
After finishing his tea, Chu Kuangren stood up and readied to leave.
Seeing him heading away from the direction of Black Heaven Sect, the middle-aged man could not bear but asked, “Sect Leader Chu, where are you headed?”
“I’ve been in for a year, so I now feel like going outside.”
Chu Kuangren said casually.
He said it unremarkably, but the people around him were all astonished upon hearing that.
After he had left, the middle-aged man, who stood rooted to the ground, instantly took out his communication compass and contacted their orthodoxies respectively.
“Quick, quick, inform the Sect Leader.”
“Chu Kuangren… has descended into the world!!”
One after another, the message spread to the various great orthodoxies. The mortal realm, which had remained peaceful for a year, had once again been brought into ripples just because of one man’s reentry.
…
Taixu Temple.
Taixu Temple Lord held a Daoist Scripture in his hand while he was having a spar with Wuchen Zi. Suddenly, one of the elders walked in with a solemn look on his face.
Taixu Temple Lord asked, “Elder, what’s the matter? Why the glum look?”
“Chu Kuangren has descended into the world.”
Just that sentence alone sent cold shivers down the spines of the highest-positioned old and young man in the entire Taixu Temple. They were shocked.
After a fair amount of time, Taixu Temple Lord let out a bitter smile.
“He could not hold back in the end.”
Inside Thunder Temple.
The ruling Abbot was meditating with a string of prayer beads in his hand.
He was suddenly interrupted by a monk who walked up to him and whispered something in his ear. The weight of that message was so shocking that it made this highly-experienced elder monk’s hand quiver, accidentally snapping the prayer beads in his grip.
One by one, the prayer beads dropped onto the floor with a continuous tapping sound.
“Amitabha, the peace of this world is once again disrupted.”
After quite some time, the Abbot chanted a word of mantra.
Royal Azure Dynasty.
The Royal Azure Dynasty King received the news while he was in a royal audience, yet he could not help but burst into laughter there and then. “Haha, this fella has finally decided to descend into the world.”
His reaction left all his civilian and military officers dumbfounded.
Who the hell was it that could elicit such an exaggerated response from the Dynasty King?
“Dynasty King, who was it that you said is descending into the world?”
One of his officials could not wrap his head around it so he asked curiously.
“Who else? Who else but my very own son-in-law, our Royal Azure Dynasty’s Ruler Matrimonial Chu Kuangren.” Royal Azure Dynasty King laughed as he said.
At those words, all the officials present were utterly surprised, and the court plunged into a state of uproar.
“I can’t believe it’s him!”
“Chu Kuangren… My goodness, he has descended back into the realm.”
Inside a forest that was eternally shrouded in mist, in the deep reaches of the Azure Dragon Domain.
Here, there was a palace.
The palace belonged to the current head of all the demonic orthodoxies in Azure Dragon Domain, Corpse Refining Sect. Numerous elites of the demonic world were all gathered here today.
They were distributing and marking their respective territories.
Ever since Chu Kuangren had annihilated all the elites from Euphoria Sect and Ashura Sect, the other demonic forces had taken this opportunity to rise up by taking over the territories which originally belonged to Euphoria Sect and Ashura Sect. With that, they formed the new Three Great Demonic Orthodoxies.
Meanwhile, today was the day where the Three Great Demonic Orthodoxies would negotiate.
However, at this moment, one of the demonic orthodoxy disciples suddenly ran in hastily. “Bad news. Chu Kuangren has descended into the realm.”
This news astounded the demonic orthodoxy elites who were present, and a chill shot from the soles of their feet up into their Heaven spirits.
“Quick, send a message out to order all our disciples to go into hiding. If they were to encounter Chu Kuangren, let staying alive be their utmost priority!”
“God d*mn it. How long has this fella vanished for? Why is he back here in this world so soon? Then what for are we still marking these territories? With this guy in the realm, we’re better off scampering for our own safeties.”
…
On this day.
A man walked out of the mountain entrance with a sword by his waist.
He had caused distraught in all Daoist’s Daoist cores, snapped the elder monk’s prayer beads, shocked the dynasty’s officials, and most importantly of all, he had filled all demonic cultivator souls with consternation.
