Chapter 670: Shangcang Family Compromise
The royal family of Zhongzhou.
Wanyan clan.
An extremely special surname.
Sitting on the land of Zhongzhou, it is one of the top forces in the world of Cang Tian and has never declined.
The Zhongzhou royal family has always had a celestial-level strongman in charge for many years without interruption. This is something that no other force can do.
Whether it is the Holy Palace or several other old top forces, there have been gaps in the number of Cang Tian-level powerhouses. However, none of them have lasted for such a long time like the Holy Palace, with no Cang Tian-level powerhouses for several generations in a row.
This alone is enough to show how terrifying the Zhongzhou royal family is.
No one expected that this battle would involve the Zhongzhou royal family.
Many people also looked at Wanyan Rui. Considering that Wanyan Rui was the first one to stand up and choose to stand on Chu Ning's side, they were more certain that the Zhongzhou royal family had already reached an alliance with the Holy Palace.
The person in the scroll is the previous emperor of the Zhongzhou royal family.
The appearance of the old emperor of Zhongzhou made Fan Taichu put away his whip and bowed politely: "Greetings, Senior Wanyan."
In terms of seniority, the old emperor and the previous palace lord were from the same era, and were of the same generation as Fan Taichu's master.
In the world of cultivators, people of the same generation address each other as fellow Taoists, but there is a prerequisite, that is, there is no connection between the two. However, Fan Taichu knows the relationship between his own master and the old emperor. The old emperor had instructed his master in the past, so this courtesy as an elder is indispensable.
"Since you have entered the Heavenly Stage, we shall call each other fellow Taoists."
The old emperor spoke with a smile, but did not walk out of the scroll. Everyone could see that the old emperor was in a courtyard, and in the entire scene only Fan Taichu could see the old emperor's face clearly.
"Yes, you have fulfilled Fellow Daoist Qiong's last wish. The Holy Palace has a successor."
This statement has a double meaning.
Chu Ning could feel that the old emperor's gaze was on him at the moment, but it did not bring him too much pressure.
After a few breaths, the old emperor's voice sounded again: "My fellow Taoists from the Heavenly Realm, the matter of returning to the One Realm has already come to an end. After so many years, why stir up trouble again?"
The old emperor really came to persuade us.
At this moment, everyone turned their eyes to the three figures on the Cangtian stage, wanting to see how the Shangcang family would react.
The Lord of the Holy Palace and the Old Emperor, two powerful Heaven-level warriors, as well as the attitude of the Dean of Taiyi Academy, made the powerful people present suddenly realize that the powerful person standing behind Chu Ning seemed to be no worse than the Shangcang family.
Even if the dean of Taiyi Academy were to take action, he would be even stronger than the Shangcang family.
Shangcang Shenghua in the distant void had an unwilling look on his face. He never expected that what he thought was a one-sided crushing move would eventually alarm the ancestor of the clan.
No matter whether the ancestor fights or makes peace, he will never be able to become the young master, and will even suffer cruel punishment from the family.
As the heir to the family's young master, he enjoys the family's resources, but if he fails to become the young master in the end, the price will be huge. Even thinking of the responsibilities he is about to bear, Shangcang Shenghua couldn't help but tremble.
A cold voice was heard from the Cangtian Terrace.
"Our clan will not pursue Tang Ruowei and Chu Ning!"
Hiss! Hearing the words of the Cangtian-level expert of the Shangcang family on the Cangtian stage, the expressions of many cultivators at the scene changed.
The Shangcang family has surrendered.
If the matter had not escalated to the point it has now, everyone in the Cangtian Realm would know about it, and the Shangcang family would not be considered to have lost face by letting Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei go. It could be said that they were giving face to Taiyi Academy and Shengyuan.
But letting Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei go now is obviously a compromise made out of helplessness, and it is a blow to the prestige of the Shangcang family.
However, Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei, the parties involved, did not feel relieved by the words of the strong man from the Shangcang family. Their expressions even became more solemn than before.
Tang Ruowei knew clearly that Chu Ning would not give up on Senior Saint Master and the others.
Chu Ning himself knew this clearly, so the words of the strong man from the Shangcang family were actually a form of retreat in order to advance.
Boom! Just as Chu Ning was about to speak, the Saint Master who was fighting one against three suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the tenth-order earth fire that had originally stopped the three Dongxu masters erupted like a volcano at this moment, instantly submerging the three Dongxu masters.
"Chu Ning, if you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood. Besides, it is not that easy for the Shangcang family to destroy us."
Chu Ning heard the voice of the Saint Master in his ears, and his eyes narrowed. He understood what the Saint Master meant, that he didn't want to involve him.
The Saint Master knew that since he would show up, he was already prepared to die. He wanted to fight with the other party and not give himself the chance to intervene.
However, he didn’t know whether the words of the Saint Master were truly meant to comfort him or whether he had a backup plan.
"The Shangcang family, the number one family in the Cangtian world, is going to bully the weak by using their power to deal with cultivators from a small world like ours? Is there anyone who dares to fight me at the same level?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In the distance, a figure came over, holding a sword, it was the senior from Wuliangjian Mountain.
The sword formation that trapped the two powerful Dongxu masters in the void seemed to sense something and all the swords rang.
"cut!"
With a shout, the sword formation emitted a dazzling sword light. The two Dongxu powerful men in the sword formation didn't even have time to react and their souls were destroyed.
This scene stunned all the strong men who were watching the battle.
"Some of the cultivators in this Guiyi world are ridiculously strong."
In the square, Yan Heng couldn't help but mutter. First, this guy was fighting one against three. Although he relied on the power of the earth fire, the tenth-level earth fire was a rare thing even in the Cangtian Realm. How many people could subdue it?
He killed two more Dongxu masters with one sword. Together with the master who controlled the gourd, there were only three Dongxu masters from Guiyi Realm, and they all showed the demeanor of masters of the same realm. The geniuses of Cangtian Realm might not be able to do it after entering Dongxu Realm.
"What a good plan! The timing chosen by these powerful Dongxu masters from Guiyi Realm is quite good."
Fang Shan, the second disciple of Taiyi Academy, sighed: "Now even a Cangtian-level expert has appeared. This matter will surely spread throughout the entire Cangtian Realm, and I'm afraid even the Abyss Beast Realm will know about it. In this case, the Shangcang Family can only fight at the same level."
"So, the cultivators in Guiyi Realm are really scheming."
There were other powerful Dongxu masters on the side who took up the conversation. Fang Shan glanced at them calmly and said, "If you don't have the strength, what's the point of having a plan?"
Any layout must be based on strength.
There was no response from the Cangtian Terrace, but the next moment, spatial fluctuations appeared in the void, and three figures walked out from it.
Seeing these three figures, Shangcang Shenghua's face looked extremely ugly.
The appearance of his three cousins meant that he was completely out.
Even though his lineage also has a Cang Tian-level ancestor, his future fate is destined to become the nourishment of the family.
