To the point that he thought perhaps he had was mistaken.
Wasn’t Zhou Jinjiang just an apex martial spiritualist andhousemaster Cheng Biyuan just a beginner martial spiritualist when he was atthe Cheng’s just a few days ago?!
How did the two become martial kings when he saw them again today?Okay, so he could accept that Zhou Jinjiang had broken through and becamemartial king. Afterall, he was already an apex martial spiritualist. It wasonly natural for him to break through. Yet the situation surrounding ChengBiyuan was definitely unusual.
It didn’t matter how talented one was, a jump like this was simplyimpossible!
No! One person had done it before!
Zhu Xiangyu thought about Cheng Xiao Xiao. She went straight frommartial master to martial spiritualist. This kind of speed….. was it hereditary?
Zhu Xiangyu had to fight off the desire to smack himself upside hisown head. He felt that his mind was about to be turned into a chaotic mess bythe Cheng’s.
He had intented to figure out the Cheng’s situation. Instead he wasonly plunged deeper and deeper into the mist. Everything surrounding theCheng’s were mysterious.
The Ninth Elder of the Cheng’s of Emperor City was on order from theFirst Elder. He had no choice but to come to Willow and attend the event at theCheng’s.
Today, he had gained entrance into the Cheng’s as a powerful family.Yes Cheng Biyuan had never taken a look at him; as though he was just astranger. And that he was only allowed entrance because he was from a bigfamily and nothing more.
Ever since he has arrived at Willows and saw everything that belongedto Cheng Biyuan, he has been shocked beyond words. In a few years time, ChengBiyuan could definitely be able to build up a family that’s stronger and morepowerful than the Cheng’s in Emperor City.
Of course, what shocked him the most was Cheng Biyuan’s cultivationlevel. He was merely a martial apprentice previously. Yet somehow he was ableto achieve martial king in just four years, this….
Martial king, a thirty-something martial king. He couldn’t help butstart to shudder. If he was still at the Cheng’s, he would definitely be one ofthe youngest elders.
One must keep in mind that of all the elders at the Cheng’s, therewere only four martial kings. If you count the housemaster, there were five.The rest were all martial spiritualists.
Equally shocking to him was the presence of Zhou Jinjiang. He was aroyal guard, now he became a manager for the Cheng’s? And he was a martial kingas well?
The Cheng’s, being such a small family, already have two martialkings. On top of that, he has already heard that Cheng Biyuan’s oldestdaughter, the timid and weak Cheng Xiao Xiao, had also have an incredibletransformation and became a master beast tamer. That was certainly someone thatthey could only hope for!
Most ironically, these were all once members of their family. Yetthey have wiped their names from the family genealogy over some small gains.Was this some kind of retribution for the Cheng’s?
Should he feel regret, hatred, or just helplessness?
He was deep into his own thoughts. The other one that had similarthoughts as him was Gu Gaoyi. He felt more or less the same way as the Cheng’sof Emperor City.
Gu Gaoyi still couldn’t get over it. His sworn brother, whosecultivation was completed wiped, had became a martial king. And he himself wa.s.still a martial spiritualist.
Whatever little superiority he was feeling over Cheng Biyuan has beencompletely crushed. He thought about how he had been scarce of contact with himover the years, to the point that they were completely out of touch and turnedfrom sworn brothers into strangers.
With his ability, it would have been quite easy for him to find outthe whereabout of Cheng Biyuan after he was banished. Indeed, he was aware thatCheng Biyuan had settled down in seclusion somewhere in Qing’an Province. Buthe never paid it any attention; in fact, he was happy to have lost this swornbrother of his that was look down upon by everyone.
