Chapter 2580: s.h.i.+ Clan’s Backing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Master, we have never heard of the Star Picking Pavilion Golden Chief. However, we know that San Shouw.a.n.g kept in touch with Star Picking Pavilion and has been trying to acc.u.mulate wealth to purchase the secret technique he has been cultivating from the Star Picking Pavilion,” said Cang Heng.
“Secret technique?” Jian Wushuang’s attention was piqued.
The Heavenly Beast Secret Technique which San Shouw.a.n.g performed instantly appeared in Jian Wushuang’s mind.
The secret technique’s power which evolved a Beast King into a Heavenly Beast was indeed impressive.
The Heavenly Beast Secret Technique was probably the reason San Shouw.a.n.g was acc.u.mulating wealth so that he could practice that secret technique.
“Master, although I don’t know for sure San Shouw.a.n.g’s relations.h.i.+p with the Star Picking Pavilion or whether he really has an elder brother in the Star Picking Pavilion, I do know that all Star Picking Pavilion’s chiefs are very powerful even at their branch level. Besides being powerful, they are also generally very capable and skillful. Even the weakest among them—the Black Chief position is held by an Earth Ultimate G.o.d. As for the Golden Chief…”
Cang Heng paused for a while before solemnly saying, “The Golden Chief is generally held by Peak Earth Ultimate G.o.ds with some even held by Heaven Ultimate G.o.ds.”
Jian Wushuang’s eyes widened when he heard that.
“Did he just say the Golden Chief is generally held by Peak Earth Ultimate G.o.ds with some even held by Heaven Ultimate G.o.ds?”
It would be easier to deal with if it was a Peak Earth Ultimate G.o.d. Although Jian Wushuang was unable to handle a Peak Earth Ultimate G.o.d, he would very soon be able given some time and enough primordial stone to absorb and refine. He only needed to make a breakthrough in his realm and would be able to deal with it.
The Heaven Ultimate G.o.d on the other hand… There was still quite a gap between Heaven and Earth Ultimate G.o.d.
The gap was greater than one between Earth Ultimate G.o.d and Regular Ultimate G.o.d.
If San Shouw.a.n.g truly had an older brother who was the Star Picking Pavilion’s Golden Chief at the Heaven Ultimate G.o.d realm, there was no way Jian Wushuang could deal with him in a short period.
“Then again, I don’t need to be so worried. First of all, he can’t kill me even if he’s a Heaven Ultimate G.o.d. Worst scenario, I’ll just give up my position as the Territorial Lord and escape. Besides… Who knows if San Shouw.a.n.g’s words were true. Perhaps, he deliberately made this story up before dying to scare me so that he could save his life.” Jian Wushuang sneered and decided not to dwell further in the matter.
Jian Wushuang again looked down inside the hall.
“There’s one more matter, I heard from San Shouw.a.n.g there will be an auction in Star Picking Pavilion eleven years later. What about that?” Jian Wushuang asked.
“That’s true.”
Cang Heng answered, “The Star Picking Pavilion is the first-ranked Chamber of Commerce in the Nine Realms of Golden Crow. Their auction is always very popular and this auction which will be held in the Narcissus Territory isn’t even considered the best auction event in Danyang Holy Domain. However, it’s enough to attract regular Primary Stage Ultimate G.o.ds and Earth Ultimate G.o.ds. It’s a very large-scale auction since the Star Picking Pavilion released news of this long ago. I believe many Territorial Lords including some independent experts would be at the auction.
“I think it may even attract some Heaven Ultimate G.o.ds.”
“Oh, even Heaven Ultimate G.o.ds may attend the auction?”Jian Wushuang slightly nodded.
According to San Shouw.a.n.g, The Stately Painting belonging to Jian Wushuang would be one of the items put up for auction. However, it was uncertain if that was true.
Nonetheless, Jian Wushuang had to go and check the auction out.
“Well, there’s still quite a lot of time since it’s eleven years later,” murmured Jian Wushuang.
Suddenly, a soldier came in from outside the hall.
“Master, the clan leaders of s.h.i.+, Wu, and Situ are here. They are waiting outside the mansion,” reported the soldier respectfully.
“The three major clans?” Jian Wushuang raised his brows.
The four commanders also looked at each other before Cang Heng smiled. “These three major clans are acting quite fast. They immediately come to see you not long after you killed San Shouw.a.n.g. Master, they must be here to cozy up to you.”
“Cozy up to me?” Jian Wushuang wore a strange expression. “Among the three big clans, the Situ Clan and Wu Clan are fine but the s.h.i.+ Clan…”
“Master. Although the s.h.i.+ Clan has offended you, perhaps Master can let them go if it’s not too serious,” suggested Cang Heng.
“Huh?” Jian Wushuang glanced at Cang Heng.
Cang Heng was startled by the side glance but continued, “Master, I’m not begging for mercy on behalf of the s.h.i.+ Clan. I’m not close to the s.h.i.+ Clan but I’m saying this due to the Earth Ultimate G.o.d that is backing up the s.h.i.+ Clan.”
Jian Wushuang nodded. “I know the s.h.i.+ Clan and Wu Clan both have an Earth Ultimate G.o.d backing them up. What level of Earth Ultimate G.o.d are they?”
“I know that s.h.i.+ Clan’s Earth Ultimate G.o.d had achieved the Earth Ultimate G.o.d realm a long time ago. Just not too long ago, he went back to the s.h.i.+ Clan and had also visited San Shouw.a.n.g in the Territorial Lord Mansion. That time, San Shouw.a.n.g personally greeted him with a friendly and humble demeanor toward the Earth Ultimate G.o.d. If I’m not wrong, the s.h.i.+ Clan’s Earth Ultimate G.o.d strength is higher than San Shouw.a.n.g. He has likely reached the Peak Earth Ultimate G.o.d realm,” explained Cang Heng.
“As for the Wu Clan, their Earth Ultimate G.o.d isn’t that strong. He’s just a Primary Stage Earth Ultimate G.o.d whose combat power is weaker than San Shouw.a.n.g but talented nonetheless and has joined a top-tier powerful force within the Danyang Holy Domain. I heard that force is so powerful it’s not afraid of the Crimson Stone Fort.”
Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes after consolidating the information.
The two Earth Ultimate G.o.ds behind those two major clans are so powerful that one was at the Peak Earth Ultimate G.o.d Realm while the other joined one of the top-tier forces that aren’t inferior to the Crimson Stone Fort?
‘No wonder San Shouw.a.n.g dare not do anything to these two clans.’
It turned out the two major clans had such strong backings.
“Although the s.h.i.+ Clan initially wanted to kill me, they never succeeded. After that incident, they have also stopped bothering me. On the other hand, I took the initiative to enter the s.h.i.+ Clan’s grounds because I wanted to kill San Shouw.a.n.g. There indeed isn’t much enmity between us. Well, let’s see their att.i.tude later. If they are behaving then I won’t bring up the past. Otherwise, they can’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Jian Wushuang smiled coldly before waving his large hand, “Let the three major clans in.”
“Yes.” The soldier immediately left.
Not long after, the three Clan Leaders walked side by side into the hall guided by the soldier and stood before Jian Wushuang.
“Pleasure to meet you, Master Jian Yi.”
The three clan leaders including s.h.i.+ Qianhan bowed to Jian Wushuang as soon as they came into the hall to show respect.
