The Great Wild God - Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Choose An Emperor
Dark clouds covered the vast wilderness. The rain continued, and the vast White Wolf City was hidden in the pitch-black night. There was no light at the top of the city.

The distant mountains emitted extremely dim light, barely reflecting the outline of the mountains. The fierce howls of the demonic beasts came intermittently, as if the song of the undead was echoing in the sky above the White Wolf River.

The sound of the surging waves of the White Wolf River and the drizzling spring breeze that stimulated the growth of vegetation in the four fields were unable to appease the fearful souls of the crowd.

The iron suspension bridge cracked as the black sandstone gate descended. In this extremely dark night, it was like a giant beast that opened its mouth silently. Two pure bronze chariots flew in parallel.

Chang Xi’s beautiful eyes stared at the city gently. In this city, they hadn’t stayed for a day, yet they had left in such a sorry state. Chen Xun was worried that Chang Xi would be unable to restrain the anger in his heart. He was worried that at any moment, Chang Xi would blow down the grand white wolf city wall and vent the anger in her heart.

“…” Lei Wanhe raised his head to look at the city wall hidden in the darkness and said worriedly, “Even if we can leave White Wolf City this time, Senior Brother Xia has already set his eyes on Chen Xun. I’m afraid this matter will be hard to deal with.”

“Xia Xiangyi is willing to call someone surnamed Jiang by the nose. She will only ask for trouble.” When Chang Xi thought of this, her anger was unquenchable, and she said hatefully.

Lei Wanhe was speechless when Chang Xi said this, but he didn’t know how they could make Xia Xiangyi suffer.

Although Chen Xun said that he had only injured the snake demon by luck, everyone could still remember the battle at the snake’s den. Chen Xun’s words were truly unconvincing.

In the Battle of Devil Execution, the Snake Demon had suffered such serious injuries that its body was almost burned by the Heavenly Flames, and it didn’t even have the slightest intention of retreating. How could it possibly call Chen Xun and Chang Xi to join hands to fight back?

When Chang Xi went to the Dragon Creek Lake, Lei Wanhe stayed in White Wolf City and heard rumors about the Northern Mountain and Jade Pillar Peak.

Lei Wanhe wasn’t stupid either. Chen Xun’s status as an outer sect disciple had been cultivated in the Divine Night Sect for less than a year, and he had already rushed to Crimson Maple Castle with everyone to eliminate the demons. Afterwards, they were directly recorded as inner sect disciples in Crimson Maple Castle. They hadn’t had the chance to return to the sect and cultivate a deeper inheritance of the sect’s dao techniques.

After Meng Shan bid farewell, Lei Wanhe returned to the Divine Night Sect to cultivate for a period of time, but Chen Xun was traveling together.

However, during this period of time, Chen Xun’s cultivation speed was extremely fast. Even ghosts could guess that the Dao Art inheritance he had accidentally obtained from the Jade Pillar Peak’s secret cave back then was definitely not trivial.

Back then, in order to conceal this secret, Chen Xun didn’t hesitate to hand over the Kuilong Heavenly Diagram to the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty.

The world was bustling, all for the sake of profit.

Under the heavens, Xi Xi was all for the sake of profit.

Although cultivation depended on luck, Chen Xun was only an inner sect disciple of the Divine Night Sect, yet he was actually able to grasp such a profound and profound Dao Inheritance by himself. How could he not make others jealous?

The Divine Night Sect would not forcibly seize a disciple’s fortune, but that did not mean that there was no such thing as forcible seizure between disciples.

Although the Dao Art inheritance Chen Xun possessed wasn’t particularly significant to the Divine Night Sect, it didn’t mean that there weren’t any people in the Divine Night Sect who wished to obtain the Dao Art inheritance Chen Xun possessed and exchange it for benefits with other powers, such as the Marquis Manor of the Origin realm.

A man is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Who said that Chen Xun was just a disciple of the district?

Chen Xun was also very depressed. He didn’t expect Xia Xiangyi to attack him like an open fire staff. He frowned and asked Chang Xi, “There are more than 60 countries in the Northwest Region, and there are also more than 30 marquises surnamed Jiang. What is so special about Mansion of Marquis Martial?”

As the leader of the sects in the Northwest Region, the Divine Night Sect was one of the seven sects in Cloud Continent. Its status in Cloud Continent was extraordinary, and it should not care about these county marquises if it could interfere with the abolition of imperial power.

In fact, Chen Xun could also see that there were quite a few people within the Divine Night Sect, including the Gu Yangfeng Sect Master and his nominal master, Daoist Gu Yang, who had extremely close relations with the Marquis Manor of the Origin realm.

“Isn’t it just a joke from the ancestor of the Dragon Sect, Tao Jinghong?” Chang Xi smiled disdainfully.

Chen Xun had heard the name Tao Jinghong countless times when he was in the Thousand Swords Sect, and he was also the only True Monarch who knew that Cloud Continent had a Heavenly Human Realm cultivation.

“What did Tao Jinghong say?” Chen Xun asked.

Chang Xi curled her lips and smiled, unwilling to talk much.

Lei Wanhe said,

“When True Monarch Tao entered the Celestial Realm three hundred years ago, he saw the heavens and predicted that a True Dragon would appear in the Northwest Region. When Crown Prince Jiang was born, four dragon claw meteors descended on Mansion of Marquis Martial. The various sects believed that True Monarch Tao’s prediction had been fulfilled in Crown Prince Jiang. Even within Divine Night Sect, many people believed that Crown Prince Jiang would ascend to the throne …”

Chen Xun was stunned. No one had ever told him such a shitty thing before.

No wonder Xia Xiangyi was the first direct descendant of Gu Yangfeng. She was like a dog in front of Jiang Bin. So there was such a shitty thing?

However, when Chang Xi heard Lei Wanhe’s words, she only sneered and said disdainfully, “Before the age of sixty, the Jiang surname can’t reach the peak of the Origin Core realm. He doesn’t even have the qualifications to choose an Emperor Marquis. What kind of True Dragon is there to talk about? What a joke.” And Jiang Jue, that old fox, is very scheming. Who knows if it was that old fox who created the momentum when those four dragon claw meteors landed in Mansion of Marquis Martial … ”

Chen Xun’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that Chang Xi should know more about the inside story, but this was not the time to delve deeper.

At this time, a black shadow swept out from White Wolf City. Chen Xun saw that Su Tang was coming over from the Cyan Phoenix. He bitterly smiled and said, “I didn’t want to say goodbye to you when I left the city in such a sorry state.”

“You all rushed a thousand miles to help Cang Lan, yet the Sect Master actually told you to leave just like that. Why isn’t he afraid of freezing the hearts of others?” Su Tang’s temperament was always gentle, and at this moment, she could not suppress the anger in her heart. Her bright and beautiful eyes revealed a cold light in the pitch-black night. A thought circled in her heart, and it would mature …

“Su shi also has good intentions. We can’t blame him for this,”

Chen Xun could clearly feel that Jiang Bin’s heart was filled with killing intent when he was in the meeting hall. Su Shousi had expelled them from the White Wolf River, but in reality, he had told Jiang Bin that he would never find another opportunity to attack them. Although the Su Clan wanted to harm him several times, this time he couldn’t blame Su Shousi wrongly.

‘”With so many demonic beasts invading Cang Lan, the Su Clan cannot sit back and watch as their thousand-year-old inheritance is destroyed. They cannot help but ask for help from the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty. However, it is definitely not Cang Lan’s blessing to have a strong guest and weak master. I think Su shi understands very well in his heart. You must also understand his bitterness. It is better for us to suffer some grievances than to lose our lives in White Wolf City.”

“…” Su Tang sighed bitterly in her heart. Looking at Chen Xun’s pair of eyes that looked like stars in the dark night, she resisted the urge to touch his thin cheeks. She took out a pamphlet from her bosom and handed it to Chen Xun. At this moment, all of her emotions turned into a soft and stirring whisper, “Then be careful.”

Chen Xun held the pamphlet in his hand. He knew that it recorded Su Tang’s cultivation gains in recent years, but what made his heart palpitate even more was the soft warmth and faint fragrance of the pamphlet.

*******************

Rumbling sounds of carriages and horses faded into the night breeze as they left White Wolf City. The anger in their hearts gradually dissipated.

There were two bowl-sized jade walls embedded in the top wall of the carriage. They emitted a gentle and bright light. Chang Xi sat next to the soft couch and looked lazily at Chen Xun. “You could have obviously taken this precious egg from the Su Clan. How did your heart soften in the end?”

Seeing Qing Xuan’s pair of extremely beautiful eyes looking over, she seemed to be puzzled by this question.

Chen Xun smiled bitterly. Even his eyebrows were burning with anger. Chang Xi, this old woman, was actually not at ease. She even thought of “picking a rift”. He had nothing to do.

Lei Wanhe and the others sat in the carriage and chuckled.

Cultivators had long since looked down on the worldly feelings of men and women. Only when there was no chance of a breakthrough in their cultivation would they have the thought of marrying and having children and reproducing. However, seeing Chen Xun’s jokes at this moment, Lei Wanhe was extremely interested.

Chen Xun said, “The Su Clan has declined over the past few years. They say that the battle at Jade Pillar Peak caused great damage to the Su Clan’s Yuan Qi. I’m afraid that’s not the case.”

“Yu Yaozi died. Qing Yangzi betrayed the sect and lost two Heaven Origin Realm experts. To the Su Clan, it can’t be said to have hurt the fundamentals,” Chang Xi said. “I guess the Su Clan’s ancestor, Su Yuan, is probably going to die soon, right?”

Chen Xun said, “Late-Origin Core Realm only has a lifespan of 1,200 years, early-Origin Core Realm only has a lifespan of 1,000 years …”

Hearing Chen Xun’s words, Qing Xuan suddenly came to a realization and asked in surprise, “Are you saying that the Patriarch has less than a hundred years of lifespan left?”

Chen Xun said, “It is difficult for the outside world to determine whether the Su Clan’s Patriarch is at the early or late Origin Core Realm. After all, the number of times the Su Clan’s Patriarch has attacked in the past few hundred years is too limited. Judging from the worst-case scenario, the Su Clan Patriarch probably had less than a hundred years of lifespan left. Yu Yaozi was originally one of the Su Clan’s most promising people to break through to the Heaven Origin Realm and cultivate Origin Pills within a hundred years. The great blow Yu Yaozi’s death dealt to the Su Clan was not the loss of a Heaven Origin Realm expert, but the loss of an extremely promising expert who cultivated Origin Pills. After Yu Yaozi, it would be too difficult for the Su Clan to have someone who could cultivate Yuan Dan within a hundred years, but they would also place their final hopes on Su Tang and Su Wuyang … ”

Qing Xuan remained silent. She secretly felt that the Su Clan had placed so much hope on Su Tang. If Su Tang stayed in the Azure Water College, she would obtain much more resources for cultivation than the other direct descendants of the Su Clan.

As long as Su Tang stayed in the Azure Water College, no matter how serious the differences in Su Clan’s attitude towards Bei Shan were, it was impossible for them to tear their faces and attack Bei Shan ruthlessly.

Chang Xi grinned and said, “I’m afraid not. If that kid Su Wuyang had worked harder, Su Tang’s status in the Su Clan would not be as important as you think. I haven’t told the Su Clan much, but I can tell that many people in the Su Clan are more optimistic about Su Wuyang.”

“So, the most important thing for Su Tang right now is to enter the Heaven Origin Realm first.” Chen Xun said as he sighed. “A lot of things are troubles in the future. There must be a way before the car arrives. And how to solve the current Azure Water Calamity is truly a headache!”

“You still can’t let go of all of this?” Chang Xi frowned slightly and said, “Right now, the most important thing for you is to immediately return to the sect and concentrate on cultivating. As long as you advance into the Heavenly Yuan Stage and become a direct disciple, everything will be easy to say.”

“Aren’t you greedy at all for the inheritance of the Jade Pillar Peak’s secret cave?” Chen Xun asked with a smile. Chang Xi really wanted to slap her butt and leave. He really had no choice but to take that demonic snake. He didn’t expect Chang Xi to have any pity on the thousands of Wildlands tribes in Canglan.

Besides, he was counting on Lei Wanhe and the others to stay behind and help him kill the demons, so he couldn’t be silent at all.

As soon as Chen Xun said those words, Lei Wanhe and the others’ hearts thumped.

How could they not be tempted by a secret art inheritance that could be called Jiang Bin and Xia Xiangyi?

Chang Xi smiled brightly and said, “You can at least take out some benefits first. I have to see if it’s worth my life!”

Chen Xun didn’t waste any words and directly took out several sealed silver books and some incomplete magical artifacts from his spatial ring.

The last three floors of the Void Origin Secret Palace only involved the true inheritance of the Secret Palace.

Unless he passes the trial of the restriction of the secret hall, becomes the successor of the secret hall, or refines the entire Void Origin Secret Hall, even Old Kui and Chang Zhen will not be able to enter the last three floors of the hall. Naturally, he will not want to take out the Dao Books and magical artifacts inside.

However, Chen Xun could freely enter the hall on the first three floors.

He had known long ago that the secrets of the Void Origin Palace would be hard to conceal. The only way to hide it from others was to take out something else and let others think that he had obtained all the inheritances of the secret cave and attract their attention to him …
