Chapter 2341 Reaction of All Factions! Absorb and Refine! (2)
Of course, it was only conversing, not a real confrontation.
Unless one waits until he matures.
Yet even in dialogue, it was remarkable, for they must offer respect, lest they offend each other easily.
This was the weight of a member of the Academy Arbitration a.s.sociation who held true power!
It was still too early to say this, but everyone saw a possibility.
"Councilor w.a.n.g Teng is truly exceptional!"
Someone exclaimed.
Various factions lingered, reluctant to depart, antic.i.p.ating w.a.n.g Teng"s appearance.
After almost all warriors had departed the ancestral grounds, the young man of the Heishan Royal Clan emerged. He stepped forth from the dimensional rift, his countenance pale and brooding.
Superficially, it appeared as though his wounds had healed, but the ethereal aura surrounding him hinted at lingering injuries.
Many eyes turned towards him, fixating on the young man of the Heishan Royal Clan.
The gaze of powerful figures from various factions bore scrutiny. They wished to ascertain if he was as formidable as Chi Yi and others claimed.
Unfortunately, they found nothing.
The young man had a way to hide his aura and talents.
The only certainty was that he was a cosmos-stage martial warrior at the perfected realm and definitely not a heaven-stage martial warrior.
The ancestral land was imbued with the legacy of an eternal-stage ent.i.ty, restricting entry to those above the cosmos stage. This was an immutable truth.
Should a martial artist above the cosmos stage forcefully intrude, the ancestral ground would inevitably crumble.
As for how the martial warriors of the five major families could bring an eternal-level s.p.a.cecraft into the grounds, it was because of their profound understanding of the ancestral ground. Also, the eternal-level s.p.a.cecraft was a relic left by the ancestor of the five major families, bearing the special mark of the ancestor. Thus, its entry into the ancestral grounds was warranted.
The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior from the Black Skull Universe Pirates appeared beside the youth from the Heishan Royal Clan.
However, the young man paid him no heed, his countenance dark and brooding to the extreme. Without a moment"s pause, amidst the mult.i.tude of gazes, he entered the Black Skull Universe Pirates" s.p.a.cecraft.
This scene caused a stir among the onlookers. The young man showed no deference to a universe-stage powerhouse, and the universe-stage martial warrior"s att.i.tude was peculiar, lacking the typical demeanor of a senior towards a younger martial warrior but rather tinged with a hint of apprehension.
Inside the Black Skull Universe Pirates" s.p.a.cecraft, the young man entered the control room, and everyone else withdrew.
The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior left respectfully, not daring to utter a word.
The atmosphere was very strange!
He sensed something amiss and decided it wise to keep his distance, lest he incur trouble upon himself.
"You did not succeed!" Within the control room, a venerable figure emerged slowly. "With your strength, failure should not be an option!"
"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" The young man of the Heishan Royal Clan gritted his teeth, his visage contorted with rage.
"Who?" The venerable figure shrouded in darkness inquired mildly, his features indiscernible.
"w.a.n.g Teng! Han Zhu!" The young man"s voice dripped with resentment.
"You lost to both of them? They joined forces!" The venerable figure expressed surprise.
Muscles twitched involuntarily on the young man"s face. Finally, he spoke, "They didn"t join forces!"
"Hmm?" The venerable figure appeared even more surprised. "Both of them surpa.s.sed you?"
"Yes!" Reluctantly, the young man admitted. In the presence of this elder, he had to maintain respect and dare not show any negligence. He could only say, "The strength of those two individuals is somewhat unusual!"
"Tell me in detail what happened in the Five Burial Ancestral Land!" The venerable figure said.
The young man of the Heishan Royal Clan recalled the harrowing scenes, his countenance darkening like the bottom of a pot. Finally, he took a deep breath and recounted the events that transpired within the Five Burial Ancestral Land.
"Devoured the five eternal-stage viscera!" The venerable figure"s pupils contracted sharply as he heard the conclusion.
Any eternal-stage ent.i.ty, having lived countless eons, possessed extraordinary insight. Upon hearing the recount from the young man of the Heishan Royal Clan, he discerned the gravity of the situation.
"Are you certain it was the power of devouring?" The venerable figure inquired once more.
"Many witnessed it. There can be no mistake," The young man replied.
"The power of devouring… Could it be that w.a.n.g Teng is the prodigy of that race?!" The venerable figure murmured to himself.
"Elder Hui, which race are you referring to?" The young man, noticing the elder"s expression, grew even more astonished and couldn"t help but ask.
"The Xukun Clan!" The venerable figure spoke.
"The Xukun Clan!" The young man trembled all over. "But that"s the Xukun Clan, one of the top three races in the universe!"
"Indeed, ranked in the top three, surpa.s.sing even the renown of our Heishan Royal Clan," The venerable figure sneered coldly.
"Elder Hui, you seem to be…" The young man hesitated, sensing the elder"s unusual tone.
"You"ll understand in due time," Elder Hui shook his head, declining further discussion. Instead, he continued, "If Councilor w.a.n.g Teng truly possesses the bloodline of the Xukun Clan, then we may face some trouble."
"Are we to just let him reap the benefits uncontested?" The young man of the Heishan Royal Clan spoke with a hint of defiance.
"Of course not. The Heishan Royal Clan has never feared anyone," Elder Hui"s gaze turned sharp as he said.
His words were filled with a fierce confidence, a confidence inherent to the Heishan Royal Clan.
