Eternal Reverence

Chapter 729: Miao Clan’s Backers

The battle at the Eastern Sea shore made Li Fuchen famous throughout the Flying Silver Island.

Previously, when talking about the no.1 expert of Flying Silver Island, it would certainly be the Silver Spear Great Emperor. Right now, it was the Flying Silver Sword Emperor.

The Flying Silver Sword Emperor had a very deep meaning. It meant that he was the strongest sword emperor on the Flying Silver Island.

As for the title of Sword Emperor, they couldn’t give it. Li Fuchen might be formidable, but he wasn’t worthy of the title of Sword Emperor yet.

After all, the Saint Spirit Continent had a Sword Emperor and he was ranked 3rd in the Great Emperor Rankings.

There was another Sword Sovereign on the Saint Spirit Continent and he was ranked 7th in the Great Emperor Rankings.

Be it the Sword Emperor or the Sword Sovereign, their strengths were at near-saint’s level.

The so-called near-saint naturally meant they could contest with weaker saints.

It was said that the Sword Sovereign once severed a massive river, while the Sword Emperor once fought with a low-tier demonic beast overlord for over a day and night.

With those two around, no one dared to be called Sword Emperor or Sword Sovereign.

Inside the Flying Silver Hall, there was silence.

After a long moment, Hun Wufeng finally said in a gloomy tone, “We have all underestimated him. His strength isn’t what you can deal with and I can’t deal with him either. Only the Altar Masters and Helm Masters can deal with him.”

Sky Thrust Union had other positions that were higher than Hall Masters, and they were the Altar Masters and Helm Masters.

However, the Flying Silver Island was a small island and didn’t have any Altar Masters and Helm Masters.

“It is a pity that we aren’t an Altar Channel, otherwise, we can use the altar to transfer the information to the Saint Spirit Continent.” A bald-headed Joss Chief said helplessly, he was among the two surviving Joss Chiefs.

“Let him be arrogant for a moment. Once the Mist of Death scatters, we will head for the Saint Spirit Continent.” The other Joss Chief said furiously.

...

There was a lake that wasn’t far from the Miao Clan’s ore mountain. On this day, there was a bloody figure that jumped into the lake and dove to the bottom.

Soon enough, there were a few figures that chased over.

Seeing the blood trail in the lake, one of them said, “He escaped into the lake.”

Inside the lake, there were demonic beast rulers hidden there and they didn’t wish to enter.

“Forget it, even if he didn’t get eaten by the demonic beast rulers, he wouldn’t be able to threaten our Miao Clan.”

“Yes, count him lucky this time. He will not be as lucky the next time.”

They patrolled around the lake before leaving reluctantly.

Splash!

A few dozen miles on the other side of the lake, a figure emerged from the water.

“Yu Wei, I will definitely save you. Wait for me.” The youth had determined eyes as he rushed towards the east.

After ten days and ten nights without rest and sleep, the youth finally arrived at the Eastern Sea shores.

The current him was already close to death. If he didn’t rest, he might possibly die of labor, after all, his injuries weren’t light.

Finally, the youth saw Li Fuchen at the cliff by the shore.

Li Fuchen was still practicing his sword like usual. There were violent winds, but the place Li Fuchen was in was very peaceful and gave off a great sense of security.

“Senior, save Yu Wei.” The youth knelt down with a plop.

“What happened to her?” Li Fuchen helped the youth up.

“She is in the Miao Clan, I beg senior to save her...”

After speaking, the youth fainted.

“Miao Clan?”

...

When the youth woke up, he was already on a high-grade silver airship.

“You are awake.” Li Fuchen said.

“Senior, are we heading for the Miao Clan?” The youth felt that his injuries had recovered significantly.

Li Fuchen nodded. “That’s right, we will reach in another half a day.”

“Senior, my name is Gao Xiaofeng. Gao Xiaofeng shall never forget the kindness from senior. In the future, I am willing to be senior’s slave to repay the kindness.” Gao Xiaofeng knelt down again.

Li Fuchen lifted with his left hand and used an invisible energy to lift Gao Xiaofeng.

“Tell me about the exact situation.”

Gao Xiaofeng nodded and explained the entire story.

A few months ago, Gao Xiaofeng had become a rank 1 bodyguard as he always wanted. Originally, he was planning to wait for the Mist of Death to scatter before he followed a merchant group and travel to the Saint Spirit Continent. Finally, one month ago, a merchant group from the Miao Clan was willing to hire him. Everything was going smoothly, but for the next few days, Gao Xiaofeng realized that the Miao Clan hired him because of his dao companion, Yu Wei.

The Miao Clan’s head on the Flying Silver Island, Miao Hailong had been harassing Gao Xiaofeng’s dao companion everyday. As a result, the duo had no choice and was preparing to rescind the hiring agreement with the Miao Clan’s merchant group. They never expected for Miao Hailong to send people to capture them and bring them to the Miao Clan’s ore mountain. It was fortunate that Gao Xiaofeng had once cultivated a powerful secret technique. At the crucial moment, he got rid of his restraints and rushed to the Eastern Sea shores. Otherwise, he would have been killed.

Li Fuchen understood what was going on.

Be it on the Emperor Sky Continent or the Saint Spirit Continent, empresses were always scarce. On the Flying Silver Island, there might be dozens of Law Phase Realm emperors, but there might not be even a single female. It was fine if Yu Wei was just a Primary Sea Realm monarch. However, she just had to be a low-level emperor and her appearance and aura were all outstanding. It was no wonder someone targeted her.

If there was anything to blame, it would be because of Gao Xiaofeng’s weakness in strength.

If Gao Xiaofeng was a great emperor, the Miao Clan would naturally be more reserved.

“You and I are brought together by fate. I will rescue your dao companion.” Li Fuchen said.

“Senior, you just have to rescue Yu Wei, don’t kill any members of the Miao Clan.” Gao Xiaofeng thought for a moment and said cautiously.

“Why? Does the Miao Clan have experts?”

Gao Xiaofeng nodded. “The Miao Clan is once a saint clan and has deep foundations. They might not have any more saints overseeing them for the past few thousand of years, but there are two extremely powerful great emperors. One of them is Saber Demon, Miao Chengxin, ranked 34th on the Great Emperor Rankings. The other is Saber Ghost, Miao Xianyu, ranked 64th on the Great Emperor Rankings. The two of them are especially defensive of their own people, if anyone dares to kill their Miao Clan’s direct line descendants, they would certainly take revenge. The Flying Silver Island’s Miao Clan Head, Miao Hailong is a direct line descendant of the Miao Clan.”

“Saber Demon and Saber Ghost.” Li Fuchen chuckled as these names sounded like they were trying to scare others.

Of course, their strengths were probably at the extremity. Li Fuchen wouldn’t dare to say he could contest with them just with his sword dao strength.

“Don’t worry, I know the limits.”

Li Fuchen had been supplying sword energy to the silver airship, otherwise, even a high-grade silver airship would need at least one or two days to reach the Miao Clan.

Half a day later, the duo arrived outside the Miao Clan residence.

Li Fuchen stood at the bow of the ship and said loudly, “Hand over this person’s dao companion, Yu Wei, otherwise, my sword shall not be merciful.”

“Who dares to barge into the Miao Clan!” A huge group of Law Phase Realm emperors flew out.

But when they saw Li Fuchen, their expressions immediately changed.

Li Fuchen was too famous during this period of time and everyone had seen his face before.

“Flying Silver Sword Emperor, our Miao Clan doesn’t have any grievances with you, why would you help an outsider to deal with our Miao Clan?” An elderly high-level emperor asked.

Li Fuchen sneered. “I shall help whoever I want. Hurry up and hand over this person’s dao companion, my patience has a limit.”

“Flying Silver Sword Emperor, you are deliberately finding fault with our Miao Clan, do you know that our Miao Clan also has experts on the Great Emperor Rankings? Furthermore, they are in the top 100.” A younger emperor spoke in an unconvinced tone.

“Enough talk.”

With a wave of his hand, the younger emperor was sent flying while vomiting a huge mouthful of fresh blood.

At the same moment, Li Fuchen released his spiritual awareness to search for Yu Wei’s whereabouts.

Soon enough, inside a large courtyard at the center of the Miao Clan, he saw Yu Wei. However, she wasn’t in a good situation as she seemingly consumed something and her aura had some slight chances. Apart from that, there was also a youth in the courtyard and that person should be the Miao Clan Head on the Flying Silver Island, Miao Hailong.

Swish!

With a slash, the Miao Clan’s array was immediately broken. With a suction force, Li Fuchen pulled Yu Wei and Miao Hailong over.

“Yu Wei!” Gao Xiaofeng caught Yu Wei by the shoulders with great emotions.

“Who are you?” Yu Wei wasn’t really able to recognize Gao Xiaofeng.

“Yu Wei, what happened to you? Miao Hailong, what did you do to her?” Gao Xiaofeng questioned Miao Hailong.

Miao Hailong ignored Gao Xiaofeng, but he was looking at Li Fuchen apprehensively. Earlier on, Li Fuchen casually broke the array with his sword and pulled them over from such a long distance away. Such strength was truly unbelievable. “Miao Hailong gives his greetings to the Flying Silver Sword Emperor.”

Li Fuchen said, “Think of a method to let her recover and I shall treat it as though nothing happened.”

Li Fuchen didn’t have any grievances with the Miao Clan indeed. If Miao Hailong was smart enough, Li Fuchen wouldn’t touch the Miao clansmen.

Miao Hailong shook his head. “I gave her the Emotion Erase Elixir. She will gradually lose her memories and it is irreversible.”

The Emotion Erase Elixir was able to make a person forget the most important memories.

“There is such an elixir?”

Li Fuchen pointed at Yu Wei’s forehead and executed the Clear Heart Demon Lock incantation.

All of a sudden, Yu Wei’s eyes gained some spirit. “Xiaofeng.”

“Yu Wei, you recognized me?” Gao Xiaofeng was pleasantly surprised as he thought Yu Wei had already gained back her memory.

Li Fuchen said, “She has yet to forget all her memories, therefore, she can recognize you.”

The Clear Heart Demon Lock incantation was able to protect the remaining memories. If Yu Wei had already forgotten everything about Gao Xiaofeng, then it would be hopeless.

“This is an incantation?” Miao Hailong’s eyes contracted.

He didn’t think that Li Fuchen would be proficient in incantation dao.

“You have put them in such a miserable state. Don’t you have to do something?”

Li Fuchen didn’t plan to leave the Miao Clan just like this.

Miao Hailong nodded and handed over a storage bag. “Here are 200 thousand high-grade spirit stones.”

A regular Law Phase Realm emperor’s entire wealth would only be a few tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones. 200 thousand high-grade spirit stones wasn’t a small sum and it was equivalent to the wealth of a top-notch emperor.

After receiving the storage bag, Li Fuchen took another glance at Miao Hailong. Before coming, he thought that Miao Hailong was arrogant and despotic. But from the looks of things now, it seemed like Miao Hailong was a scheming person and it was something that the young and inexperienced Gao Xiaofeng couldn’t be compared with.

“Let’s go.” Li Fuchen left with Gao Xiaofeng and Yu Wei.

Even if Miao Hailong was very scheming, but in the face of absolute strength, schemes were useless. The Miao Clan’s greatest brackets were the Saber Demon and Saber Ghost. It was a pity that Li Fuchen wasn’t afraid of them.

Therefore, Li Fuchen wouldn’t eliminate the Miao Clan just because of Miao Hailong’s schemes as it was meaningless.

Of course, if the Miao Clan was to try anything in the future, Li Fuchen wouldn’t be merciful as he didn’t like schemes.

“What are your plans?” Li Fuchen asked Gao Xiaofeng and Yu Wei.

Gao Xiaofeng looked at Yu Wei and said, “Once the Mist of Death scatters, I will head for the Saint Spirit Continent with Yu Wei.

Even without the incident with Miao Hailong, Gao Xiaofeng and Yu Wei weren’t planning to stay long on the Flying Silver Island. Right now, they didn’t wish to stay here at all.

Li Fuchen said, “It just so happens that I am leaving the Flying Silver Island too. Follow me then.”

Since it was along the way, they would part ways after reaching the Saint Spirit Continent.

“Thank you senior.” Gao Xiaofeng was very grateful.
