Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter 701 - SuChapter a Bully

Edited by Ea

Zhan Fengting looked at Yuquan and slightly raised the corners of his lips. “How much does Elder Yuquan know about the secrets of my Longyao clan? If I remember correctly, Elder Yuquan came to the Longyao clan as a guest elder hundreds of years after I was born. Orphans do exist, but that person is not me. It is just an identity and a smoke screen.”

Yuquan’s thoughts were chaotic.

“Then who is Hai Shixiong?” Yan Tianhen raised his eyes and asked.

He had long felt that something was wrong with Zhan Fengting.

Among the four elder martial brothers in Fuyao Sect, only Zhan Fengting was someone he couldn’t see through or understand at all, because Zhan Fengting seemed to be a person who had no desires and no goals, and could be called unconditionally good to Hai Kuanglang. Although his cultivation seemed to be the lowest among the five core disciples of Fuyao sect, in fact, whenever he accepted a mission, Zhan Fengting could easily retreat without any injuries, which showed that his cultivation was by no means as ordinary as it seemed.

If such a person had no purpose, how could he serve others?

Facing Yan Tianhen, Zhan Fengting replied, “His parent was an attendant who served under Princess Jing at that time, and he was the child born from her coupling with a mortal man. He only has half of the blood of the Longyao family, so until now, his true form is only a small snake.”

Yan Tianhen suddenly didn’t know what to say.

But Lord Yuxu smiled. “You people are really stupid. He has already inherited the Dragon God’s powers and is recognized by the Dragon Tomb, but you all just had to form your own camps, hoping to become a new generation of ministers. Unexpectedly, your efforts were all wasted. I really don’t understand. Why did Longyao Xuan and Zhan Fengting direct and perform such a good play? Did they just want to play with everyone”

Lord Yuxu’s words woke up the people who were still in a dream.

He was right. They came here to risk their lives because the Longyao family was going to choose an heir apparent, but the actual heir apparent had already been decided as early as many years ago. Why would they hold the Crown Prince selection again; was the Longyao family playing with them?

Immediately, someone got angry, pointing at Zhan Fengting’s nose and scolding, “What are you guys doing? If you don’t give me an explanation today, when I leave the Dragon Tomb tomorrow, I will pursue this matter with the Longyao family!”

Zhan Fengting seemed to have a premonition that he would be asked this, so he said calmly, “At first, I hid my identity in order to avoid being hunted down by malicious people inside the Longyao family. Later, when I obtained the inheritance, I heard the Dragon God’s instructions — the soul’s will left by the Dragon God predicted that hundreds of years later, there would be a recurrence of Heaven’s Wail and Earthquakes, where evil Qi cultivators will break through their seals and reappear. I was asked to hide my identity and help the descendants of the prophet family’s Divination Emperor to divine the secrets of heaven. This was a serious matter. I did not want to be disturbed by people’s attention, so I hid my position as the Crown Prince. I did not mean to fool everyone.”

This was quite reasonable, and it sounded pleasant to hear, but it was still impossible to extinguish the anger of the people who felt played.

“Bah! You Longyao clan people aren’t kind at all. This is your internal conflict, yet you dragged us outsiders into it to bear hardships in vain!”

“Right! Who would come all the way to this place to provoke monsters and risk our lives if it weren’t for the selection of the heir apparent by the Longyao family? The Longyao clan is not human. It is really inhuman!”

Yan Tianhen looked at Zhan Fengting’s increasingly cheerful expression and couldn’t help shuddering. He hid behind Lin Xuanzhi and whispered, “The happier Zhan Shixiong smiles, the more he wants to launch a major attack.”

“It’s really too much! To think you wanted us to throw our lives away like this!” The source of this content is ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“They really aren’t afraid of death.” Lin Xuanzhi said, “A wise man submits to circumstances. There’s something wrong with these people’s brains, and they’re extremely shameless.”

“Shit, when Laozi leaves, I’ll report you to the Daoist sects. Longyao clan — don’t think you can cheat people at will just because you’re one of the Divine Clans!”

When they finished swearing, Zhan Fengting swept a lukewarm gaze through the crowd and asked lightly, “So everyone wants to pay back a score and get revenge. If anyone has any opinion, you might as well take action. Zhan Fengting is right here; everyone can take revenge together.”

A deathly stillness descended.

A long, ominous silence.

The cold wind rustled and the snowflakes danced.

Yan Tianhen whispered, “Such a bully.”

Lin Xuanzhi sighed, “He obtained all of the Dragon God’s inheritance and transformed into a real dragon. I’m afraid his cultivation at this time is at least equal to mine.”

The Dragon God was a great power at Sky Realm. He was born to be revered as a god. Anyone who could incarnate as a true dragon would be at least Grandmaster Stage. Among all the people present, it was likely only Lin Xuanzhi could compete with Zhan Fengting.

“Fight... Fight what?!” A cultivator broke the silence and stuck his neck out. “At this time, we’re not working together to eliminate those monsters, but are actually fighting each other. Are you asking to die together? In any case, you guys can fight if you want, but I won’t participate. All families have a secret or two.”

“Forget it, Laozi has seen a true dragon with my own eyes today. Anyway, I’m not dead yet. Let’s wait until I die to ask for a fight.”

“But, Fellow Zhan Fengting, you must at least give us a statement.”

Well, it went from fighting and demanding an explanation to simply giving a statement in the blink of an eye. It could be seen that Zhan Fengting turning into a dragon just now had brought a great impact to everyone present.

Zhan Fengting had always been a smooth man. He used both the carrot and the stick, and was both gracious and dignified. He immediately said amiably, “Everyone can rest assured that this humble one has always had a good memory. All of you present today and those who escorted the disciples of the Longyao clan to escape will definitely receive a gift immediately after leaving the Dragon Tomb in the future. The Longyao clan has always had many sparrow spirits and rare underwater treasures. We will never let fellow Daoists suffer any loss.”

Having said this, it could at least be regarded as giving everyone present a way to gracefully step down. Therefore, all the parties who had estimated the strength gap between the enemy and themselves could immediately climb down the pole and say with great courage, “Since Daoist Zhan has already said all this, if we still insist on pursuing this matter, it will be unreasonable.”

“Yes, as the eldest disciple of Fuyao Sect’s Esteemed Lan Yue, Fellow Zhan is a man of noble character. Since he has concealed it, I think there must have been a compelling reason. Why should we keep chasing it?”

“In the face of a serious enemy, let’s first discuss the matter of jointly resisting it.”

Zhan Fengting had a warm smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze had swept by.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Everything in this world is decided by the strong.”

Yan Tianhen replied, “I just don’t know how Hai Shixiong will react after he has been deceived for so long.”

This was also what Zhan Fengting was most worried about. What did others matter?

He, Zhan Fengting, had never feared anyone. All the problems that could be solved by force were not really actual problems. The only person who could make things difficult was Hai Kuanglang.

He could not beat or scold this person. He felt both guilty and affectionate towards this person, so he was nervous. He always thought about how to explain and comfort him.

Zhan Fengting looked toward Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen, revealing a rather helpless expression. This place had been re-sealed by Zhan Fengting. Those spells that used the wind and snow as the symbol of an ice array had already returned those evil spirits to the bottom of the sea, continuing to keep them company with the cold sea water.

The people behind the ice wall did not stay there any longer, but quickly went to find others who had been led by Hai Kuanglang, who had fled to the northeast.

Although the disciples of the Longyao clan were quick-footed, they were not ungrateful people. They waited together in a place less than a hundred miles away from where the evil spirits appeared.

The two sides soon joined together.

When Hai Kuanglang saw Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen, he was relieved, and the tenseness on his face relaxed. He took the lead in stepping out of the group and went to his fellow junior disciple. He said wearily, “I really felt as if I lived through a year just now. It’s good that you came back safely. How did you finally handle those things in the end?”

Before Lin Xuanzhi opened his mouth, Zhan Fengting stood next to him and looked at Hai Kuanglang. “They have been re-sealed to the bottom of the ice and will not come out in the short term.”

Hai Kuanglang turned his gaze on Zhan Fengting and the corners of the mouth jumped a few times, but finally he put it away. “I always thought that Shixiong’s cultivation was not as good as mine, so I thought about protecting my senior brother everywhere, but I didn’t expect that I was the blind one in the end. I didn’t know anything. Shixiong must have looked at me and thought me laughable in his heart.”

“Little Lang, I know that I hid a lot from you and made you unhappy. I’ll tell you these things in detail on the way, but don’t be angry first...” Zhan Fengting sincerely looked into Hai Kuanglang’s eyes with a kind of appeal.

Hai Kuanglang lowered his gaze, turned away his face, and set his eyes on the empty frozen sea.

His voice was also a little empty, as if it was floating and unfounded. “Indeed, you have a lot of things to tell me in detail. I was like a fool from beginning to end.”

Hai Kuanglang continued, “You can turn into a real dragon, and you have already obtained the Dragon God’s inheritance. You are the real dragon descendant. I thought Princess Jing was my mother, but now, I found that my identity is false and my mother is false. Everything I’ve ever pursued was fake and my life is really like a big joke for people to laugh at.”

When Zhan Fengting saw him like this, he couldn’t help but feel a deep grief.

To think that a person who was so unruly, unrestrained, and had a firm and free mind like Hai Kuanglang could actually say such things and make such expressions. It really seemed to dig into Zhan Fengting’s heart.

“Little Lang, don’t do this. Shixiong feels sad.” Zhan Fengting went to hold Hai Kuanglang’s hand, but was dodged by Hai Kuanglang.

The people around looked at each other and dared not to stammer a word.

“Forget it.” Hai Kuanglang took a deep breath, and the red blood in his eyes had disappeared a lot. In the end, he didn’t want outsiders to see them make a joke of themselves. “There are evil spirits in the Dragon Tomb, and I don’t know what strange things will happen along the way. Shixiong, would you like to tell us everything you know?”

Zhan Fengting sighed slightly and said, “Of course. It’s not suitable to stay here for a long time.”

The disciples of the Longyao clan, who were originally scattered in twos and threes, had experienced the hair-raising test just now. At this time, they put aside their prejudices and walked together towards the heavy snow.

Along the way, Longyao Lingguang looked at Zhan Fengting several times, and his expression was very sullen and puzzled. Finally, he couldn’t resist stamping his foot, and he carried his sword over to Zhan Fengting.

Longyao Lingguang angrily asked Zhan Fengting, “So you are the illegitimate son of Princess Jing?”
