4420 The Green Flame Saber King
“Are you mocking me?!”
w.a.n.g Kui, the Clan Leader of the w.a.n.g clan, was shocked and baffled by Meng Yu Zheng’s sudden change of att.i.tude. He asked solemnly, “Young Master Meng, is there a misunderstanding?”
At the same time, w.a.n.g Kui recalled his previous words. After confirming that he did not say anything inappropriate, he wondered inwardly if there was something wrong with Meng Yu Zheng. He could not help but sneer inwardly when he wondered if Meng Yu Zheng thought he could disregard the w.a.n.g clan simply because a supreme powerhouse appeared in the Meng clan recently.
The w.a.n.g clan had a supreme powerhouse in the past as well. The clan’s supreme powerhouse had a close relations.h.i.+p with a few other supreme powerhouses, and up until now, the clan continued to maintain the relations.h.i.+p with them. If anything were to happen to the w.a.n.g clan, it was unlikely that those supreme powerhouses would do nothing. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the w.a.n.g clan to survive in Blue Dawn City until now.
!!
“A misunderstanding?” Meng Yu Zheng said with a scoff, “Clan Leader w.a.n.g, previously, when I came to propose marriage to Miss w.a.n.g Luo Yu, a grand elder told me that she had no intention of getting married in the next 100 years so she could mourn the death of her elder brother. However, now I’m told she’s getting married to another man. Clan Leader w.a.n.g, do you think the Meng clan and I are fools?”
A hint of anger could be heard in Meng Yu Zheng’s voice nearing the end of his words. After all, it was clear to him that the w.a.n.g clan had looked down on him. He had returned this time to vent his anger. After all, the w.a.n.g clan could not dismiss him easily now that the Meng clan had a supreme powerhouse.
w.a.n.g Kui was stunned when he heard Meng Yu Zheng bringing up the words of the elder of the w.a.n.g clan from before. His expression darkened as realization dawned on him that Meng Yu Zheng came this time bearing ill intentions. It was clear that Meng Yu Zheng was going to stir up trouble.
Finally, w.a.n.g Kui looked at Meng Yu Zheng and shook his head as he said solemnly, “Young Master Meng, if this is true, I’ll punish that grand elder severely. A grand elder isn’t qualified to speak on behalf of the w.a.n.g clan.”
Meng Yu Zheng frowned. He did not expect w.a.n.g Kui to push the blame on the grand elder and settle the matter by punis.h.i.+ng that grand elder. He fell momentarily silent, realizing that w.a.n.g Kui was not easy to deal with. After taking a deep breath, he looked at w.a.n.g Kui intently and said seriously, “If that’s the case, it means that the w.a.n.g clan had no reason to decline my proposal. Why don’t you make amends by making me the groom? No one will be the wiser if you switch the groom now since no one knows who the original groom is…”
w.a.n.g Kui was slightly taken aback by Meng Yu Zheng’s words. He did not expect Meng Yu Zheng to be so shameless. He thought to himself as he looked at Meng Yu Zheng with a hint of disdain, ‘Does he think he’s comparable to Li Feng, a monstrous prodigy?’
Outwardly, w.a.n.g Kui chuckled and said, “Young Master Meng, you must be joking.”
These words were meant to give Meng Yu Zheng a way out; they could pretend to dismiss Meng Yu Zheng’s earlier words as a joke. However, if Meng Yu Zheng did not back down, he was not afraid of offending Meng Yu Zheng. Although the Meng clan now had a supreme powerhouse, the w.a.n.g clan was not a pushover as well. Moreover, the Meng clan’s supreme powerhouse might not even be willing to offend the w.a.n.g clan for Meng Yu Zheng’s sake. After all, it was impossible for a supreme powerhouse to favor all his descendants and stand up for them.
Meng Yu Zheng said with a sneer, “Clan Leader w.a.n.g, I’m not joking. I believe my grandfather will agree with me as well.”
“Your grandfather?” w.a.n.g Kui frowned as a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. Based on Meng Yu Zheng’s domineering att.i.tude and words, he was not entirely surprised when he heard the following words.
“My grandfather is Meng Tian Feng,” Meng Yu Zheng said arrogantly.
‘As expected…’
Meng Yu Zheng continued to say with a smug expression, “My grandfather dotes on me the most among the younger generation in the clan. Before he became a supreme powerhouse, he had made an announcement that he would cultivate me as the next Clan Leader of the Meng clan.”
How could w.a.n.g Kui not know at this point why Meng Yu Zheng dared to act so brazenly? As it turned out, Meng Yu Zheng had the support of the Meng clan’s supreme powerhouse. Unlike the Meng clan, the w.a.n.g clan currently did not have any supreme powerhouse. Nonetheless, he did not think that the Meng clan alone was capable of destroying the w.a.n.g clan. After all, the w.a.n.g clan’s supreme powerhouse must have left behind many secret weapons and trump cards before he pa.s.sed.
Meng Yu Zheng looked at w.a.n.g Kui meaningfully and asked, “Clan Leader w.a.n.g, I don’t think you want to offend my grandfather, right?”
w.a.n.g Kui did not respond to Meng Yu Zheng. Instead, he looked at the person standing behind Meng Yu Zheng. Although he did not know the other party’s ident.i.ty, he could tell that the other party was at the very least on par with him. He was certain the other party was not a descendant of the Meng clan and speculated that the other party was likely a powerhouse who joined the Meng clan after Meng Tian Feng became a supreme powerhouse.
In the Outer Boundary, it was common for many powerful advanced Supreme G.o.ds, even those who were close to becoming peerless top advanced Supreme G.o.ds, to join forces with supreme powerhouses. Not only would they gain the protection of a supreme powerhouse by doing so, but they would also gain many things in return such as the supreme powerhouse’s Divine Energy.
As for new supreme powerhouses, they would usually recruit subordinates after their breakthrough. However, there was a limit to the number of subordinates they accepted. Needless to say, the limit did not apply to peerless top advanced Supreme G.o.ds.
“Clan Leader w.a.n.g, if you think I’m bluffing, you can ask the person standing behind me. He was a famous and powerful sectless cultivator in the Divine Sand Realm. I’m sure you’ve heard of him before,” Meng Yu Zheng said as he turned to look at the middle-aged man behind him. His tone turned more respectful as he continued to say, “Uncle Tan, please vouch for my words.”
The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at w.a.n.g Kui with a piercing gaze before he cupped his fists together and said with vigor, “Tan Xiu Teng greets Clan Leader w.a.n.g.”
w.a.n.g Kui’s eyes widened upon hearing the name Tan Xiu Teng.
Tang Xiu Teng was a famous sectless cultivator in the Divine Sand Realm and was close to becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme G.o.d.
w.a.n.g Kui was not even sure he could fight Tan Xiu Teng to a draw, let alone defeat Tan Xiu Teng, unless he used the trump cards in the w.a.n.g clan that had been pa.s.sed down for generations.
Finally, w.a.n.g Kui said respectfully, “As it turns out, you’re the Green Flame Saber King. My apologies for failing to recognize you earlier.”
In the w.a.n.g clan, only the two supreme elders of the clan were capable of defeating Tan Xiu Teng. After half a month, when Li Feng, the monstrous prodigy, joined the w.a.n.g clan, there would be another member capable of defeating Tan Xiu Teng.
Tan Xiu Teng, the Green Flame Saber King, smiled faintly. However, his eyes glinted coldly as he said, “Clan Leader w.a.n.g, Young Master Meng was telling the truth. I hope the w.a.n.g clan will show my lord due respect and marry Miss w.a.n.g Luo Yu to Young Master Meng. The wedding will continue and take place in ten days.”
Tan Xiu Teng was famous for his profound comprehension of the Saber Dao. Apart from that, as an expert in the law of fire, after a fortuitous encounter, the red flames he manifested had turned green, boosting its strength greatly. For these reasons, he was called the Green Flame
