Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 155
Chapter 155: Demonic Cultivators Again, Heading To The Qian Nation, Let Us Wear A Mask
The news of Chu Kuangren’s mental spar with a Sage and his self-creation of an Emperor Technique spread everywhere. In a flash, this news sent shockwaves across all of Firmament Star.
His reputation had now surpassed all sky-prides!
Some people even believed that if there was to be one person destined to become Emperor in this era, that person would be Chu Kuangren and nobody else!
After all, the fact that he had created his own Emperor Technique was just too astonishing.
Bar Emperors, not many people would be able to pull that off.
At the Battle Monarch Realm, Chu Kuangren had achieved things that could only be done at an Emperor Realm. To the common folk, Chu Kuangren’s fate of becoming an Emperor in the future was almost sealed.
…
Between the vast blue sea and the endless skies, Chu Kuangren sat atop the Fairy boat.
“Congratulations Host, you have drawn a Gold Grade Item, a bottle of Heaven Spiritual Marrow.”
Chu Kuangren had just finished his gacha roll.
His prize was a Heaven Spiritual Marrow. This item had helped him immensely in the past. It even helped him with gathering his Three Supreme Foundation Levels.
However, it was not as useful nowadays as before.
He straight up tossed it into the Yin and Yang Ring, letting the Godly Phoenix Egg absorb it.
Buzz… buzz…
Suddenly, the communication compass in his Yin and Yang Ring vibrated. Chu Kuangren fetched it out and found that Honorable Xuan Qi had sent him a message.
“Kuangren, head to the Barren Plume Prefecture as soon as possible…”
It turned out that there was a dynasty in the Barren Plume Prefecture, named the Qian Nation.
The Qian Nation was an Honorable Orthodoxy which, at the same time, was also a satellite state of the Black Heaven Sect. They would send Black Heaven Sect some offerings every year.
However, in recent times, traces of demonic cultivators were found in the Qian Nation, and there were even Honorables amongst them. To be safer than sorry, the Qian Nation reported this discovery to the Black Heaven Sect and requested backup.
Honorable Xuan Qi had thus assigned this task to Chu Kuangren. After all, he had a history of slaying a hundred thousand or more demonic cultivators, hence the intimidating effect that he had towards the demonic cultivators was still there.
“Those pesky demonic cultivators again. Do they have nothing better to do?”
Chu Kuangren shook his head in disbelief before he immediately turned around to head to the Qian Nation. He had ample free time on his hands anyway, so this task came at the right time.
Qian Nation, the Capital City.
Chu Kuangren, who had just arrived at the Qian Nation, was strolling casually on the streets. However, his extraordinary looks drew quite some attention from many passers-by.
“That guy is quite good looking.”
“It’s really rare to see someone with such good looks.”
The passers-by around him started to gossip about him. Several coachmen were so distracted that they accidentally tripped over their horse carriages.
“This is really bringing me more trouble than it should be!” Chu Kuangren touched his face as he sighed. It was a fact that very few cultivators could resist his charm, not to mention these normal folks.
Seeing that there was a hawker who was selling masks on the street, he then walked over and started to pick one. After he had finally chosen one that resembled a white fox, he picked it up and wore it over his face. He smiled as he turned towards Lan Yu and said, “Is this nice?”
“Looks nice.” Lan Yu nodded in approval.
“Lan Yu, do you want to pick one as well?”
“Sure.” Lan Yu nodded again. She randomly chose one and picked it up. Hers was a menacing-looking wolf.
Once they had purchased the masks, the duo put them on and continued their stroll on the street. Although they still attracted attention, it was not as bad now as it was earlier.
Chu Kuangren planned to head directly to the Royal Palace to meet the Qian Nation’s Dynasty King, hence he brought Lan Yu along and walked towards the palace gates.
However, both of them were stopped in front of the gates by the palace guards.
“The Royal Palace is a sacred ground, no trespassers are allowed!” The palace guard looked at the two mask-wearing weirdos and warned them in a stern voice.
The palace guard had served the royalty for many years, and his years of service had made him develop some kind of intuition that gave him the ability to tell which kind of people were dangerous.
This intuition had helped him several times before, and right now, the warning bells in his head were sounding like crazy. It made him raise his guard and feel extremely uncomfortable.
These two strangers must be incredibly dangerous!
“Take off your masks!” the palace guard yelled.
Chu Kuangren slowly peeled off his mask, revealing an almost peerless-looking face. He smiled back and said, “My name is Chu Kuangren. I’m here to meet the Dynasty King.”
The crowd around them was shell-shocked at first when they saw Chu Kuangren’s handsome looks, but when they heard his name, they quickly turned wide-eyed and their faces were full of shock.
Chu Kuangren was undeniably the most trending and most talked-about person of the whole Firmament Star right now. Since these palace guards spent their entire days watching over the palace gates, the people that they had seen were plenty and so was the news that they had heard.
Moreover, Chu Kuangren was the name that they had most frequently heard about recently, so there was no way they had no idea who he was.
“Chu Kuangren, the famed Black Heaven Sect Lead Disciple who self-created an Emperor Technique. Gosh, I can’t believe I’d get to meet you in person.”
“He’s more good-looking than what we’ve heard.”
“What is he doing here at the Royal Palace?”
The palace guard immediately adjusted their demeanor upon hearing Chu Kuangren’s name. “Kindly wait for a moment, your Excellency. I shall go and notify the Dynasty King.”
“Thank you for that,” Chu Kuangren replied with a smile.
Moments later, the group of palace guards saw the royal leader of the nation himself rushing hastily out from the Royal Palace’s palace hall to greet Chu Kuangren personally.
“Oh gosh, apologies to have kept you waiting, Brother Chu. This is really embarrassing for me. Quick, come one in…”
“It’s alright, King Qian. Thank you.”
With that, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu followed King Qian into the Royal Palace.
On their way there, King Qian stole a few glances at Chu Kuangren. The closer King Qian looked, the more he concurred with what he had heard about Chu Kuangren. This Lead Disciple of the Black Heaven Sect truly had a divine appearance…
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was observing King Qian as well. He looked to be around fifty years old, had a well-groomed appearance, and his cultivation base was in the Honorable Realm.
To cater for Chu Kuangren and his companion’s arrival, King Qian had ordered his servants to prepare a feast on the night itself. King Qian’s noble relatives and his top officials were all amongst the attendees.
At the feast, many could not take their eyes off Chu Kuangren.
It was especially so for the princesses and princes. Chu Kuangren was already accustomed to this much attention, so he ignored them.
“I requested for backup from the Black Heaven Sect, but I can’t believe that they sent you here on such short notice, Brother Chu. It really is the Qian Nation’s honor to have you here.” King Qian laughed as he admitted.
Chu Kuangren simply smiled and said, “You’ve over complimented me, King Qian. I’m here because my Honorable teacher has sent me. Though I must admit, I’m not too sure how severe this whole situation is. Would you mind telling me the details, and from where these havoc-wreaking demonic cultivators came from?”
On that note, King Qian’s expression turned grim. “They are mainly from Euphoria Sect and Ashura Sect. Besides these two, there are some demonic cultivators of unknown origins too. These people have already caused too much damage across many places in the Qian Nation. The worst part is that there are even reports of Honorable Realm demonic cultivators.”
“Do you have any clue why they’re here?”
“No idea, but it does sound like they are looking for something.”
“Looking for what, exactly? Don’t tell me it’s similar to what happened in Northern Lingdao State?” Chu Kuangren raised an eyebrow when he heard that.
The demonic onslaught that had happened in Northern Lingdao State the last time was triggered by the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse. Could the events in Qian Nation this time be related to some sort of item as well?
As compared to the Northern Lingdao State, Qian Nation was more fortunate because they were an Honorable Orthodoxy, and their leader King Qian was also an Honorable himself. King Qian’s presence would be helpful as he could oppress the enemy’s forces for a bit. At least they would not end up like Northern Lingdao State did the last time, where the whole state was converted into an “Ashuran Hell”.
“I heard that you have slain over hundred thousands of demonic cultivators three years back, Brother Chu. I could feel at ease now that we have you here defending our nation.”
“Come, Brother Chu, I’ll drink to this.”
King Qian raised his cup as a show of appreciation.
“Rest assured that I will try my best,” Chu Kuangren replied.
The next day.
The Qian Nation’s Second Prince came over to look for Chu Kuangren. He told Chu Kuangren that he wanted to bring him out for a tour since he had just arrived at the Capital City.
“Brother Chu, there’s no rush with regards to the demonic cultivator situation. My father has already sent people to investigate it, and they will inform you once there is a breakthrough. Why don’t I take you around this place? I should show some hospitality as the host here.”
The Second Prince explained.
Chu Kuangren did not reject the offer either and went out with the Second Prince.
