Chapter 211: Black Heaven’s Second Forefather Arrives, Slaying Two Sages, It Is Enough
“This has got nothing to do with me.”
Murong Yu leaped into his own defense before Murong’s Second Forefather could speak.
He was already so petrified from witnessing Chu Kuangren slay a Sage, so now that he was framed for what happened to Murong Xuan, he hastily stepped forward to deny this accusation.
He could care less about avenging his mother or whatnot.
“This whole thing was masterminded by my mother alone. I have nothing to do with this.” Murong Yu explained loudly.
Chu Kuangren gave him a side-eye and chuckled. “Wow, you really are a filial son aren’t you!”
A few of his sword qi clones were now in front of his soon-to-be victim. The horrifying sword qi erupted almost instantly, interweaving into some sort of a sword-qi killing web!
It did not matter whether it was Murong Yu who killed Murong Xuan, but since he was a son of the Lin clan, Chu Kuangren did not mind killing him off too to curb the problem by its roots.
“No!”
Incredibly afraid, Murong Yu quickly used his sword to block the sword qi.
Murong clan’s head and the others too wanted to step in and give him a hand, but because they were facing several sword qi clones, there was nothing they could do about it.
Moments later, Murong Yu was strangled by that sword qi!
A Primordial Emperor’s Essence flew out and Chu Kuangren grabbed it in his hands. He did not even look at it once before he tossed it into his Yin and Yang Ring.
“Son!” The eyes of the Murong clan’s head were red with anguish.
Murong Yu was the clan’s Young Emperor whom he harbored high hopes on, but now, Chu Kuangren had slain him in front of his very eyes.
Not only was his anger towering, but he felt immensely helpless at the same time too.
In front of Chu Kuangren, this leader of a sage orthodoxy was like nothing since his opponent’s strength was way too superior to his.
“Chu Kuangren, enough!”
“You’ve ruined our clan mausoleum, slew our Sage, then murdered our Young Emperor. You’ve killed so many members of the Murong clan, what else do you want from us!”
Murong’s Second Forefather scowled at him.
Deep down, he was incredibly sullen. It was all because of Murong Xuan, a crippled one at that, who made Chu Kuangren take things to such devastation.
Was there any logic or reason left in this?
This Chu Kuangren was nothing but a mad man!
“There’s one thing left that I need to do… To slay another Sage!!”
Chu Kuangren said coldly.
Since he had already gone to this extent, he figured that he should not give the Murong clan any chance to regroup. He did not mind going all-in on them.
Both Murong clan’s Sages shall not be given mercy!
Sensing the killing intent in Chu Kuangren’s ice-cold eyes, Murong’s Second Forefather shuddered inadvertently as he stared at Chu Kuangren in disbelief.
His enemy intended to slay two Sages today!
…
Amongst the sea of clouds, a beam of light flashed across the horizon.
It was a white-haired elder.
The elder had a sense of urgency on his face. “This little guy is really too impatient. I can’t believe he went to the Murong clan on his own.”
“Whatever plans he might have, that is still one large sage orthodoxy which is protected by two Sages. What are we supposed to do if something were to happen to him?”
This elder was Black Heaven’s Second Forefather!
He was the most senior figure within the Black Heaven Sect. When he heard of Chu Kuangren’s solo vengeance mission to the Murong clan, he got really anxious.
To him, Chu Kuangren was the Black Heaven Sect’s hope and future.
He was the chosen one who would lead the Black Heaven Sect towards the path of glory!
If something bad were to befall on him at the Murong clan…
Black Heaven’s Second Forefather dared not think of what could come next as a chilly glint flashed across his gaze. “Murong clan’s Second Sage, if you guys dare inflict any harm to our little guy, I’m going to take you down even if it takes my last breath!”
With that, Black Heaven’s Second Forefather rushed to the Murong clan.
Since he was a Sage and speed was his forte, he soon arrived at the fort where the Murong clan was located and saw that humongous Illusive Mirage.
“What kind of Fairy boat is this? This is otherworldly!”
“Hang on.”
“There’s somebody on the Fairy boat. It’s Murong Xuan and Lan Yu. Could the little guy have ridden this thingy to the Murong clan?”
Black Heaven’s Second Forefather was a little surprised.
It was no wonder that even with his great speed, he did not meet Chu Kuangren and his companion on his way here. It seemed that the speed of this Fairy boat was phenomenal.
After that, he glanced in the direction of the Murong clan.
Yet with one look, he was left staring wide-eyed and mouth agape.
“What the h.e.l.l is going on?!”
What was he seeing?
The whole Murong clan looked like they had been wrought wanton destruction, and even the clan mausoleum had been destroyed. The coffins were scattered across the ground…
This sight was too horrific to watch.
This could not have been done by the little guy, right?!
Goodness, the Murong clan’s Second Forefather would never let him escape with impunity.
Black Heaven’s Second Forefather continued to search the Murong clan with his spiritual thought and he soon succeeded in locating Chu Kuangren. However, the sight that met his eyes was so staggering that it gave his spiritual thought a violent shudder. His pupils narrowed as he started to doubt if he had seen it correctly.
He imagined Chu Kuangren to fall short and be imprisoned, but none of that happened at all. On the contrary, Chu Kuangren was the one who gained an upper hand over the Sage!
“What marvelous sword formation, and this clone technique… both were never before seen. This little guy really has many more aces up his sleeves.”
“But where did Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather go?”
Feeling curious, Back Heaven’s Second Forefather used his spiritual thought to scan through the entire Murong clan, but their Fourth Forefather was nowhere to be found.
However, he did not dwell on that any longer before he dashed towards Chu Kuangren’s direction with an incredibly majestic sword qi and domineering aura erupting from his body.
“Who dares to bully our Black Heaven Sect Leader!”
His yell was like thunder, shaking the entire Murong clan.
Black Heaven’s Second Forefather had certainly made a grand entrance!
At those words, the Murong clan’s Second Forefather and the others were so p.i.s.sed that they almost spat out blood.
‘Us? Bullying your Black Heaven Sect Leader?’
‘Is this a joke?!’
‘Can you open your eyes for one second, and tell us who’s bullying who?’
The Murong clan themselves had been badly hit. Their clan mausoleum was destroyed, their Sage was slain, their Young Emperor was murdered, and so many of their elders and disciples were dead…
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren, who had the Immortal Body, was not harmed at all!
Where was the fairness in saying that they were the ones doing the bullying?
How shameful!
“Forefather, you’re here!”
Chu Kuangren had not met Black Heaven’s Second Forefather in person, but he knew that said person was a Sage of the Black Heaven Sect, so calling him forefather was perhaps the safest bet when greeting him.
“Forefather, I’ve already killed Murong clan’s Forth Forefather. So now, only their Second Forefather is left. If we work together… we can take him out too!”
Chu Kuangren said in a cold voice.
Black Heaven’s Second Forefather was so shocked, he could feel his scalp tingling.
Goodness!
It was no wonder he could not find the Murong clan’s Forth Forefather because he had been killed by Chu Kuangren. Who knew that he had the capability to kill Sages!
“Alright!”
When Black Heaven’s Second Forefather recovered from the shock, his eyes lit up.
The relations.h.i.+p between this so-called “One Mountain, One Sect, and Two Clans” was not the greatest, so now that there was the chance to completely uproot the Murong clan, Black Heaven’s Second Forefather would definitely not pa.s.s on that.
As such, he stood alongside Chu Kuangren and attacked the Murong clan’s Second Forefather!
Chu Kuangren’s existence alone already frightened the Murong clan’s Second Forefather to death, and now that Black Heaven’s Second Forefather had joined in, he knew he stood no chance at all.
He only lasted under half an hour before he perished in the hands of the duo.
His Sage spirit attempted to flee but he was caught by the Soul Retriever. Chu Kuangren then commanded his mind, erasing his enemy from existence!
As for the Sage body which remained, Chu Kuangren did not leave any room for mercy either. He sucked it into the Avarice dimension and refined it.
“It’s finished. The Murong clan is finished.”
Murong clan’s head collapsed onto his knees powerlessly, his face written full of despair.
The Second Sage was already dead, and thus the Murong clan had fallen from grace.
After this battle, the Murong clan, who used to be held in high prestige, would lose their olden days of glory and be removed from the list of great sage orthodoxies.
“Little guy, what do you plan to do with these remaining people?”
Black Heaven’s Second Forefather asked him.
“Sect Leader, Forefather, I think it’s enough.”
At this moment, Murong Xuan’s voice was heard from above the Illusive Mirage.
He took a glance at what was left of the Murong clan. “They’ve already paid the price.”
It was not because he was feeling merciful.
Rather, it was because he believed in the laws of merit and karma in this world. Besides those people who had humiliated him, there were also numerous other innocent people in the Murong clan.
Murong Xuan did not want Chu Kuangren to kill off too many innocents while seeking vengeance for him. He did not want him to collect bad karma and ruin his merit, which would in turn affect his fortunes in the days to come.
