Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique
Chapter 1970 - 1971: Nine Clans Elders! (Second Update)"Brother Chu!"
Ling Feng walked up to Chu Chaonan and gave him a light push, but he’d barely used any strength before almost knocking Chu Chaonan over.
Ling Feng hurriedly grabbed this lost-soul of a guy, speechless. "Brother Chu, wins and losses are routine on the battlefield. Your mental fortitude can’t be this bad, right?"
Only then did Chu Chaonan lift his eyelids, putting on a long face. "This isn’t about winning or losing, it’s about me failing to carry out that old man’s orders! He told me to get first place, and I ended up with second! I’m done for, this time I’m really done for!"
"He’s still your Master after all; he wouldn’t go that far, would he?" Ling Feng was rather speechless.
"You have no idea how ruthless that old man can be. No, no, I need to see if I can run off to some other Domain. Brother Ling, do you have any good suggestions?"
Chu Chaonan actually looked like he was ready to flee to the ends of the earth, which made Ling Feng suspect just what exactly this guy and that Muu God Monarch had gone through in the past.
"Why bother running?" Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile. "Didn’t you say your Master once swore he would never step half a foot into Yuee Ling City? If you stay in Yuee Ling City, wouldn’t you be safe?"
"The hell?"
Chu Chaonan’s eyelids twitched fiercely, and the next moment he seemed to come back to life like he’d just been resurrected. "Hahahaha, that’s right! Yuee Ling City’s a nice place, perfect for retirement!"
As he spoke, he immediately started looking around left and right, as if he really planned to spend the rest of his life holed up in Yuee Ling City.
"..."
Ling Feng rolled his eyes. It seemed Chu Chaonan hadn’t taken losing to him to heart at all.
"I remember that guy just now saying we could stay at Xuanjian Villa for two months, didn’t he? Not bad, not bad, save Boss a good chunk of money."
Chu Chaonan’s brows were flying with delight; it seemed that to him, Xuanjian Villa was nothing more than a place to crash, nothing else.
Just then, high in the sky, a tall, burly figure descended in a flash. It was none other than that Xuanyuan Family Head, Xuanyuan Longteng.
Right after, Elder Zhuge also walked over from behind, his gaze roaming back and forth between Ling Feng and Chu Chaonan, as if pondering something.
"Little friend Ling Feng, that night when you said you would seize first place, I still had my doubts. I did not expect your strength to be so formidable."
Xuanyuan Longteng wore a smile, the intent to recruit written plainly across his face.
"You flatter me, Xuanyuan Family Master."
Ling Feng smiled faintly. "If not for the Xuanyuan Family Master teaching me the Void Ten Thousand Ridges that night, I might not have been Xuanyuan Yu’s match."
The corner of Xuanyuan Longteng’s mouth twitched. Just from Ling Feng’s final battle with Chu Chaonan, he hadn’t used Void Ten Thousand Ridges from start to finish even once.
Even if he hadn’t passed down Void Ten Thousand Ridges that night, Ling Feng would have had more than enough to defeat Xuanyuan Yu.
"Heh heh..."
Xuanyuan Longteng gave two dry laughs, then turned his gaze to Chu Chaonan, smiling lightly. "Little friend Chu, how is your honorable Master doing these days?"
"That old man? He’s living much better than I am, that’s for sure!"
Chu Chaonan glanced at Xuanyuan Longteng, feeling a bit guilty. In truth, among the ancestral graves Muu God Monarch dug up back then was the Xuanyuan Family’s.
Though Chu Chaonan was quite confident in his own strength, whether it was the Ten Thousand Forms True Sword or his incomplete Heavenly Destiny Six Phases, in front of this Long Teng Sword Saint, they were nothing but children’s tricks.
"Speaking of which, your Master and I can be considered old acquaintances."
At the side, Zhuge Qingtian couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh, slowly saying, "Your Master truly is a hero of this age."
"Heh heh..."
Chu Chaonan gave an awkward laugh, while inwardly cursing: Hero of this age? That old bastard?
"Past events are like smoke. In the blink of an eye, it’s already been three hundred years."
Zhuge Qingtian took a deep breath, seemingly recalling some bygone matters. A brief daze flashed through his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
"Enough of this idle talk." Xuanyuan Longteng’s gaze fell back on Ling Feng. "Little friend Ling Feng, might we speak in private?"
Chu Chaonan was a disciple of Muu God Monarch, so Xuanyuan Longteng naturally had no thought of recruiting him. Ling Feng, however, still had great potential in that regard.
Especially since Ling Feng had comprehended the Xuanyuan Family’s Void Ten Thousand Ridges; they definitely ought to draw him into the Xuanyuan Family.
Otherwise, even if he himself was willing, those old fossils in the family likely wouldn’t tolerate Ling Feng’s existence.
"Of course."
Ling Feng nodded. According to what Xiao Juanyun had said, becoming the top of the Newcomer Sword Master List came with a default reward: the right to make one request of the upper echelon of Du Yue Heaven Palace.
Moreover, whatever the request, as long as it wasn’t too excessive, Du Yue Heaven Palace would not refuse.
Simply putting some pressure on Dragon Sword Mansion didn’t seem like an over-the-line request to Ling Feng.
Besides, he only wanted Du Yue Heaven Palace to temporarily hold Dragon Sword Mansion in check.
This matter, he would settle personally with the Long Family in the end.
He just needed some time.
Some time to grow.
...
Not long after, under Xuanyuan Longteng’s lead, Ling Feng quickly arrived at the Inner Court.
At this moment, the nine major families’ Elders had already gathered in a grand hall.
By convention, when the top of the Sword Master List made their request, the representatives of the nine major families all had to be present.
This was a sign of respect for the position of Sword Master List champion. After all, anyone who could make it this far, as long as they didn’t fall midway, basically had the potential to become a Saint Level powerhouse, an existence who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
This bit of respect, naturally, had to be given.
It was just that, in the past, very few Martial Artists from outside the nine major families had been able to seize this top spot.
At this time, in addition to the nine Elders from the nine major families who had presided over the Newcomer Sword Master List earlier, there was also another group of even more senior experts in the hall.
One Saint Level aura after another bore down, giving Ling Feng an immense sense of pressure.
In the Eastern Spirit Domain, it was hard to find even a single Saint Level powerhouse, yet in the West Sword Domain, just the nine major families of Du Yue Heaven Palace alone already had so many Saint Level experts.
The disparity between the two was truly like that between clouds and mud.
Ling Feng took a deep breath and refused to be cowed by those terrifying Saint Level auras. Head held high and chest out, he followed behind Xuanyuan Longteng in great strides into the hall.
The old men who were intentionally releasing their own auras showed faint traces of approval in their eyes.
So young, yet with such willpower—he was indeed worthy of the title of foremost Sword Master.
"Honored Elders, the champion of this Sword Master List, Ling Feng, has been brought."
Xuanyuan Longteng bowed to the elders within the hall. Although he was Xuanyuan Family Head in name, in reality the true power of the nine major families was still in the hands of these elder bigshots.
These old men were basically the most formidable existences in the nine major families, aside from those few reclusive old ancestors.
"Junior Ling Feng, pays his respects to all seniors!"
Ling Feng also bowed to the many clan Elders on the dais. Under a low roof, one had no choice but to lower their head.
With so many Saint Level bigshots here, if each of them just spat once, he’d probably die without a corpse left.
