Chapter 5882: Chu Xuanyuan and the Three Saints Monstrous Clan
The colossal being sighed. âChu Xuanyuan made a huge contribution to our clan. Our sacred realm cultivation ground wouldnât have opened if not for him, and we wouldnât have enjoyed our current prosperity either. Youâre the clan chief, after all. You ought to be more magnanimous. Thereâs no need to make things hard for Chu Xuanyuanâs son.â
âHe did make great contributions to our clan, but that doesnât offset the sins he has committed. Elder Sheng, have you forgotten that heâs the one who set our Three Saints Monstrous Clanâs sacred treasures loose? Those are sacred treasures our ancestors left behind! If not for that, my father wouldnât have become bedridden. I would rather my father remain as the clan chief than me. His contribution amounts to nothing compared to his sins! Even killing a hundred times over wouldnât have been too much,â the middle-aged man exclaimed.
Even the surroundings turned cold in response to his emotions.
The colossal being fell silent, and the middle-aged man fell silent too.
A moment later, the middle-aged man finally calmed down and said with an apologetic tone, âElder Sheng, I didnât mean to put you down, but I am holding myself back. Iâd have killed Chu Xuanyuanâs son as soon as he entered otherwise.
âTaking a step back, even if he wasnât Chu Xuanyuanâs son but just another intruder, we still have to make him understand that our Three Saints Monstrous Clan is not a place where he can come and go as he pleases. Iâll leave it to you to deal with Chu Xuanyuanâs son.â
The middle-aged man turned around and took his leave.
The colossal being sighed. Its massive physique began to contact until it was only a meter tall, looking like a hunched old man. He didnât have any eyes, but its ears were as big as two fans.
It first dispelled the sealing formation before flitting to the spirit formation gate where Zi Ling was waiting earlier.
Shortly after, Chu Feng walked out from the spirit formation gate. The first thing that came into his line of sight was the hunched old man, but Zi Lingâs absence was conspicuous to him too.
Thus, he put up his guard.
âCalm down, young friend Chu Feng. Miss Zi Ling is safe,â the old man reassured Chu Feng upon sensing his tension.
âWhere is she? Bring me to her,â Chu Feng said.
âAll right.â The old man nodded.
He rose into the air and enveloped Chu Feng with a surge of energy before walking off with leisurely steps. His speed far surpassed ordinary True God level cultivators, and that might not even be the full extent of his prowess yet.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, arenât you curious about me and the people whom you met in the cavern?â the old man asked.
âI am, but I want to meet Zi Ling first before chatting,â Chu Feng said.
He was worried because he didnât trust the old man in front of him. It was one thing for him to get into danger, but the thought of any harm befalling Zi Ling tortured him. He felt self-reproach for leaving Zi Ling behind and entering the spirit formation gate by himself.
Such a thing wouldnât have happened otherwise.
âZi Ling is safe. You donât need to be so guarded against me. I donât intend to hurt you and your lover. I have watched your father grow up, after all,â the old man said.
âYou know my father?â Chu Feng was surprised.
His father had always taken a special place in his heart, but he had rarely seen anyone expressing goodwill to his father before. Yet, this old man treated him with respect and even mentioned his father.
This led Chu Feng to think that there might be some credence behind the other partyâs words. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMmhm.â The old man nodded.
âElder, I was trapped earlier and had no choice but to enter the spirit formation gate. There were no instructions, but I was assaulted twice. And when I came out, Zi Ling was nowhere to be seen. Itâs hard for me not to be worried when faced with such a situation. I apologize if I have offended you with my attitude earlier,â Chu Feng said.
âI understand. We lacked hospitality too,â the old man replied with a smile.
The old man proceeded to explain this place to Chu Feng.
The old man was Elder Sheng, and he, along with the white-haired and black-haired men Chu Feng fought earlier, was from the Three Saints Monstrous Clan.
The Three Saints Monstrous Clan was the ruler of this realm.
They used to not be hostile toward strangers. Anyone who could reach this far was qualified to enter the Three Saints Monstrous Clan.
Chu Fengâs father had been here multiple times. He was just a junior when he first entered this place, and the last time he came was just a few years back.
âYour father is incredibly talented. He left a strong impression on my clansmen even when he was still a junior. His cultivation would grow by leaps and bounds each time he visited, and he often saw through things that our clansmen failed to. He helped our clansmen decipher a formation and obtain treasures that were previously beyond our reach.
âThe last time he came here, his cultivation had already reached a level where I canât see through, and he wanted to help our Three Saints Monstrous Clan decipher the last formation. Not even our clansmen would have been allowed to easily challenge that formation, but out of trust for your father, our old clan chief decided to let him have a go.
âUnfortunately, he failed. The cost of failure went beyond our expectations; we lost the sacred treasures left behind by our ancestors. We know your father meant no malice, but the sacred treasures are too important to our clan. Out of guilt toward our ancestors and the relapse of his old illness, our clan chief became bedridden.
âThe old clan chiefâs son took over. Heâs about a hundred years older than your father, and you can say that he grew up with your father. They often worked together to decipher formations. They appeared rowdy on the surface, but itâs evident that they share deep ties. He supported your father too when he wanted to challenge the last formation.
âHe had some misunderstandings about your father after our sacred treasures went missing and the old clan chief became bedridden, but he isnât a bad person. You donât need to worry; Miss Zi Ling will be fine.â
It was at this point that Chu Feng realized something, and his relaxed expression tensed up once more. âYouâre saying that itâs the incumbent Three Saints Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief who took Zi Ling away?â
âYes, it is the incumbent clan chief who took Miss Zi Ling away. He claimed that you should repay your fatherâs debt, but his intention is just to scare you. Young friend Chu Feng, based on my understanding of the incumbent clan chief, I can guarantee with my life that Miss Zi Ling will be fine,â Elder Sheng said.
