Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws-Novel

Chapter 261: A Clue On The White-Robed General’s Descendant, All Hail The Sect Leader

The clan’s elites joined forces and attacked the Shang Clan Leader.

Although the Shan Clan Leader was an Honorable Supreme, the combined forces of so many people were too much for him to endure that he began to show signs of fatigue. Adding to the fact that he was flanked by his very own clan people, he was so frustrated that he blundered a reckless move and was struck down by someone.

“This is truly a wondrous sight to behold.”

Watching from the sidelines, Chu Kuangren could not resist clapping.

A few elders looked embarrassed.

They had no choice but to do that to preserve their own lives.

One of the elders escorted the Shang Clan Leader to Chu Kuangren. “Brother Chu, the Shang clan deserves all this because we have wronged you. This man here is also Shang Han’s father. If you want to kill or skin him, we’ll do as you wish.”

Chu Kuangren did not heed the elder. Instead, he retrieved the Lou clan’s ancient sword from his Yin and Yang Ring and asked emotionlessly, “Mind if I ask, this Lou clan’s ancient sword in Shang Han’s hands, where did it come from?”

“Seems to me that this sword’s origin matters a lot to you, but sadly, I will never tell you a d*mn thing about it.”

The Shang Clan Leader sneered.

He knew that his fate was sealed today, so why would he tell Chu Kuangren anything that he wanted to hear?

“This sword looks kind of familiar.”

Just then, an elder suddenly muttered softly.

When the Shang Clan Leader heard this, he was so angry that he nearly spewed blood.

‘This b*stard, did he really have to spite him like that?’

Chu Kuangren looked at that elder, smiling. “Tell me, why does this ancient sword look familiar to you? Where have you seen it?”

That elder pondered for a while. “A few years ago, I once traveled to Nimbus City, to a branch clan of ours there and that was where I saw this ancient sword. But I didn’t really pay it much attention.”

Although the Lou clan’s ancient sword was made of exquisite material, it had no other use except for its ability to open the Lou Kingdom’s enchanted boundary.

Hence for people who had no knowledge of the Lou Kingdom’s treasures, this Lou clan’s ancient sword would appear as nothing more than an ordinary supreme weapon.

It was the reason that this elder did not dwell too much on it then.

Who knew that he would cross paths with this ancient sword again at such an occasion several years later? It was truly not something he had expected.

“I remember now. Our Young Emperor, no, I mean, Shang Han also made a trip to the Nimbus City some time back,” one of the Shang clan disciples suddenly spoke.

“Nimbus City, Shang branch clan...”

Chu Kuangren looked deep in thought.

It seemed to him that Shang Han had obtained this Lou clan’s ancient sword from this particular Shang branch clan. Was there a descendant of the White-Robed General in that Shang branch clan?

“Looks like I need to make a trip to Nimbus City.”

Chu Kuangren mumbled.

“Brother Chu, if it doesn’t bother you, I can show you the way there.” The elder beside him suddenly made a gracious offer.

Chu Kuangren gave it a moment’s consideration. After all, he was heading to the Shang branch clan, and if he were to bring along a Shang clan elder, things would only be more convenient for him. Hence, he agreed to it.

“Right, Brother Chu, what about him?”

The Shang clan elder pointed at the Shang Clan Leader and said.

“Kill him.”

Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.

He knew that he did not have to do it himself. Someone else would surely do it for him.

It did not take long before the almighty Shang Clan Leader himself, a great Honorable Supreme, miserably succumbed to his death in the hands of his very own clan people.

“A Sage and an Honorable Supreme. This should be enough to put the dead souls of the Horizon Wing Sect’s brave warriors to rest.”

One of the elders commented cautiously.

When Chu Kuangren heard that, he glared at the elder with eyes that were as cold and sharp as a sword, as though it could pierce through to his heart.

That elder’s legs went limp, and he swiftly knelt on the floor for forgiveness. “Forgive me, I’ve spoken too much, Brother Chu. Please, please spare me, Sect Leader Chu.”

“How do you suppose the deaths of your Shang clan’s Sage and the Clan Leader are equivalent to the one hundred and eight thousand lives that were lost?”

Chu Kuangren said coldly.

After hearing that, everyone from the Shang clan immediately knelt too, shaking from the overwhelming fear they felt.

‘What did Chu Kuangren mean?’

‘Has he not killed enough yet?’

‘Will he only be satisfied after he annihilated the entire Shang clan?’

Nevertheless, nobody dared to ask him. Everybody was trembling with fear as they knew that their lives were now at Chu Kuangren’s mercy and he could take them away with a flash of his thought.

“From today onward, I want the Shang clan to send ten Honorables in rotations to the Horizon Wing Sect, to guard the souls of the fallen. This delegation will also obey all of the Horizon Wing Sect’s orders. This will be effective for the next one thousand years! If anyone disobeys, I’ll make sure that the Shang clan will cease to exist.”

Chu Kuangren demanded bluntly. To him, the Shang clan no longer posed any threat since the person responsible for releasing the millions of tormented souls, Shang Han, was already dead, and along with him a clan leader and a Sage.

Whilst in battle, countless Shang clan people were also killed.

As for the remaining ones, killing them or spare them meant nothing anymore. He thought that it was better to keep them alive so they could help rebuild the Horizon Wing Sect.

When everyone heard what he said, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They could live, and they were grateful for that.

As for the task of guarding the dead souls of Horizon Wing Sect’s brave warriors and obeying their orders — becoming their slaves — these may have taken away any pride the Shang clan had left, but they were so terrified of Chu Kuangren that none of them dared to object.

“Come, to Nimbus City we go.”

Chu Kuangren simply said.

His trip to the Shang clan this time was not only to avenge the perished people of Horizon Sect, but the most important agenda he had was also to look for the White-Robed General’s descendant.

Word eventually got out about Chu Kuangren slaying a Sage during his trip to the Shang clan, and it made many forces shudder with fear.

A year ago, he had slain two Sages of the Murong clan for Murong Xuan. A year later, he descended into the realm once again and slew a Six-Step Sage of the Shang clan. Chu Kuangren’s ruthlessness was incredibly dreaded by everyone in the world.

Nevertheless, for every action he took, there were reasons and rationale behind it, and this made the people very frustrated and helpless. Even if some of them wished to combine forces and beat down Chu Kuangren, they had no good excuses to do so.

They could always simply make one up too, but the prerequisite was that they had to be able to bring Chu Kuangren under their control.

Amongst all sage orthodoxies that existed today, only less than a handful had this capability.

Near the Ancient Battlefield, in the Horizon Wing Sect.

Having just received news of Chu Kuangren’s havoc at the Shang clan, the Horizon Wing Sect Master shook and he immediately turned towards the direction of Black Heaven Sect to pay his respects.

“All hail the Sect Leader!!”

Behind him, all the elders and disciples were kneeling on the floor as well, bowing down in the direction of Black Heaven Sect.

“All hail the Sect Leader...”

Leng Changkong said albeit worryingly, “Sect Master, I know the Sect Leader has avenged us, but I’m worried about the fact that he has slain so many Sages. Will he enrage the other Sages and cause trouble for himself?”

“I don’t think you or I need to question why the Sect Leader chose to do what he did. As for the envy of the other Sages, I’m pretty sure that’ll be unavoidable. Even so, do we really need to worry?”

There was a look of admiration on the Horizon Wing Sect Master’s face. “If they wish to get one over the Sect Leader, they must first take note of their capabilities. Not to mention that the Sect Leader killed those Sages because there was a legitimate reason to do so, but I doubt that they could find a reason to do anything to the Sect Leader. And even if they do, not a lot of people in this world could match the Sect Leader’s power.”

“He’s also backed by three sage orthodoxies, namely the Black Heaven Sect, Royal Azure Dynasty, and the School of White Lotus. Besides, I heard that the Sect Leader’s name has begun to spread amongst the Buddhist world. Quite a few Buddhist cultivators think that he is a living Buddha who has descended to the mortal realm. Just by these facts alone, I don’t think anyone would dare to offend the Sect Leader.”

No matter in terms of background or power, Chu Kuangren’s power had reached an unbelievably terrifying height now.

The task of defeating him was simply too insurmountable.

After his destruction at the Shang clan, the Horizon Wing Sect now revered him more than ever, while it had also strengthened the loyalty of all Black Heaven Sect’s affiliated forces towards them.
