"It was our mistake, which is why we've specially come to Cangyan Sect to apologize. This is some of our sincerity—please deliver it to your sect leader. He will surely be moved by our sincerity and come out to meet us!" Chu Tianyang handed over three boxes. "Hmph, at least you have some sense. Wait here obediently. As for whether the sect leader and others will meet you, that depends on whether your sincerity is sufficient!" The gatekeeping disciple collected the boxes and gave a meaningful look to the surrounding disciples, signaling them to keep watch on these people and ensure they didn't escape. He then flew into the sect. Cangyan Sect was vast and naturally protected by a defensive formation that resembled a semi-transparent golden light screen. "Puny Chu family, how dare you provoke our Cangyan Sect? Who gave you the courage? Kneel and await punishment from our sect elders!" "We heard your Chu family obtained some fortuitous encounter—what was it exactly?" "Could you let us have a look?" "If you satisfy us, maybe we'll put in a good word for you before the sect leader!" The other gatekeeping disciples surrounded them, looking mockingly at Chu Tianyang and his group. Though their own cultivation wasn't high, their backing was formidable! Thus they feared Chu Tianyang not at all. "Hahaha! Who gave us courage? Naturally, it was the Beast God!" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Chu Tianyang's mouth as he suddenly attacked, instantly twisting off the head of a disciple before him. "Remember in your next life to show proper respect to your betters!" Chu Tianyang said coldly. Originally he couldn't be bothered killing these lowly disciples, but their mouths were truly intolerable! Mere third-tier martial masters daring to covet what was theirs! "Ancestor, why don't we just use the Beast God's lifebound artifact to break through this defensive formation and charge in directly?" Chu Jianchen asked puzzled. Wouldn't that be more convenient? "The Beast God's lifebound artifact could indeed breach this formation," Chu Tianyang replied. "But judging from its strength, this is a sixth-tier superior-grade defensive array. If we forcefully break it, wouldn't that be telling them we possess means to kill sixth-tier Martial Emperors?" "In that case, what if they slip away secretly?" "I want no loose ends remaining!" "So the best method is to catch them all in one net. Hehe, when Cangyan Sect's leader Zang Feng sees those three heads, he'll surely gather all the elders and come roaring out in rage!" "If they're cautious, they might even call upon their Martial Emperor ancestor!" "And then we can truly catch them all at once!" Chu Tianyang stroked his beard thoughtfully. Since they were doing this, they would do it thoroughly! Get full chapters from N()velFire.net "Ah! Damnable Chu family! How dare you kill three more of our elders?" "This enmity between Cangyan Sect and you is irreconcilable!" Within Cangyan Sect, a murderous aura erupted from sect leader Zang Feng. His black hair danced wildly amidst burning flames, making him resemble a ferocious beast. At his feet, the gatekeeping disciple who had brought the three boxes had already lost all color in his face—he never imagined the so-called gifts would be the heads of three elders! "Summon all elders immediately! I'll not only kill that old fool Chu Tianyang, but raze all of Qingyang City to the ground and exterminate the Chu family bloodline!" Zang Feng roared, flames seeming to spray from his pupils as if to incinerate heaven and earth! "Sect Leader, since the Chu family dared come, they must be fully prepared. I suggest it would be wiser to invite our ancestor out of seclusion!" Great Elder Qu Chang advised amidst the fury. "Good! This time, I'll make sure the Chu family dies without even graves to bury them!" Zang Feng declared. Though flames wreathed his body, an icy chill radiated from him. Before long, an even more terrifying aura erupted from the depths of Cangyan Sect, mighty as heavenly might itself! The pressure even passed through the defensive formation to spread beyond the sect. "A Martial Emperor? And one at the peak of Martial Emperor realm?" "Heavens! Cangyan Sect's ancestor has broken through to peak Martial Emperor? He's just one step from seventh-tier Martial Venerable now!" "It's over, the Chu family is finished! Even if their guardian deity is also a Martial Emperor-level beast, he couldn't possibly match a peak Martial Emperor! And even if he were peak Martial Emperor, thinking his lifebound artifact alone could suppress Cangyan Sect's ancestor? That's pure fantasy!" "Quickly, quickly! We must go pay respects to Cangyan Sect's ancestor!" A peak Martial Emperor's cultivation made him virtually invincible across all of Cangzhou—even among the other four six-star sects! It was no exaggeration to say Cangyan Sect's ancestor was indisputably Cangzhou's number one expert! How could such a mighty figure not inspire universal worship? All the martial artists who had been secretly observing this scene now emerged from hiding, prostrating themselves at Cangyan Sect's entrance while loudly declaring: "We congratulate Cangyan Sect's ancestor on attaining the title of Cangzhou's strongest!" Their expressions were incomparably reverent, as if facing their own ancestors. Of course, their main motivation was leaving a good impression—perhaps they might receive some pointers or even the incredible fortune of joining Cangyan Sect! "Oh no, that old fox Xue Guang actually broke through to peak Martial Emperor?" "This spells disaster!" "Given that old bastard's character, he might well move against our four sects next!" The spies sent by the other four major sects all felt uneasy. This world had always revered strength—the strong devouring the weak needed no justification beyond: why were you so weak? "I must report this to the sect immediately!" As for the Chu family members, in their eyes they were already dead men. "Ancestor, what about us?" Sensing this terrifying aura, the Chu family members also frowned. It was too strong—far beyond an ordinary Martial Emperor! It filled them with dread. Could the Beast God's lifebound artifact truly match such a foe? "I believe in the Beast God!" Chu Tianyang said solemnly, the determination in his eyes unwavering from beginning to end. Within Cangyan Sect, Zang Feng knelt with all the elders, shouting excitedly: "We welcome our ancestor's emergence from seclusion!" "We congratulate our ancestor on reaching peak Martial Emperor realm!" The cries surged like tidal waves throughout the sect. Cangyan Sect's ancestor Xue Guang stood radiant in the sky, looking down at them with a smile. His long hair fluttered, flames seeming to flicker in his eyes, his bright red robes gleaming like burning fire. "Hahaha! This emperor's breakthrough to peak Martial Emperor calls for celebration throughout Cangyan Sect!" Xue Guang declared with arms spread wide. "Our ancestor speaks truly!" "We beg our ancestor to annihilate Qingyang City's Chu family—let their blood celebrate your breakthrough!" Zang Feng pleaded on one knee. "Oh? What has happened?" Xue Guang frowned. Moments later, his expression turned icy as he chuckled darkly: "Excellent! Not only did they kill four of our Martial King elders, but now they come knocking at our gates!" "In Cangyan Sect's thousands of years, when have we ever suffered such insult!" "Today they must die!" "To uphold Cangyan Sect's name as Cangzhou's foremost sect!"
