Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 693 - The appearance of Chu Qing
...
The remaining three days passed in an instant.
From the Secret Realm, all surviving disciples were sent out in groups. The first wave consisted of disciples ranked from below.
The last wave transferred from the Secret Realm consisted of disciples ranked one thousand to the first rank.
Thus, Zhang En, Chu Bai, Shi Qi, Xian Wu, Wei Song, and the other disciples were the last to be transferred.
When Zhang En's group appeared in the square of Ashura City, all eyes were on the portal in the center of the square. The square was unusually silent, as if everyone was holding their breath.
Finally, the portal shone brightly, and not far from there, the Patriarch of the Yu Clan's fist involuntarily tightened. His aura rose to the top, killing intent swirling in his eyes.
A moment later, the bright light of the portal lit up and disappeared, revealing a large group of disciples. This was none other than Zhang En's group, Chu Bai and the others.
"Dad, there it is!" Yu Hao suddenly shouted as he pointed to the figure in the middle of the portal.
Swoooss!!!!
Yu Feu's eyes were fixed on the figure, letting out a rumbling sound.
Hooonggg!!!
His body spun into a gigantic storm, flying straight at his target, emitting a suffocating murderous aura.
"Zhang En, accept your death!!" Yu Fei's eyes had turned blood red as he made a sound
An extremely powerful fist force howled in the air, creating a bend of space laws, shocking every other clan leader and sect present in that square.
Many pairs of eyes watched as the gigantic fist force nearly tore through space and arrived at the area the portal was located in.
Elder Chu Lou and Elder Chu Hua and all the Elders of the Chu Clan as the competition committee this time were stunned for a moment. But, just as they wanted to block Yu Fei, there was someone faster than them, blocking Yu Fei's fist with a palm.
Rrrrrrrr!!!
In an instant, that extremely powerful punch disappeared into nothingness in front of everyone's eyes, and Yu Fei was thrown backwards as if he was struck by a heavy object, forcing him to fall right in front of the members of the Yu Clan was.
This sudden change made the hearts of all the spectators stop beating. The gazes of all of them slowly turned towards the person who stopped Yu Fei's attack and sent him flying.
Seen, it was the figure of a skinny old man with thin silvery hair and narrowed eyes. One could even see a lightning shadow in the depths of his pupils as he blinked.
When all the Chu Clan Elders saw this person, they all rushed in front of the old man and saluted respectfully, "Greetings, Ancestral Uncle!"
Hearing the greeting of all the Chu Clan Elders towards that skinny silver-haired old man, the crowd stiffened, their hearts pounding.
It was known that the Chu Clan had two master teachers. One was the Ancestor of the Chu Clan, Chu Shen, and the other was an old man named Chu Qing. All the elders and disciples of the Chu Clan would greet this person as their Ancestral Uncle.
This old man in front of them was undoubtedly Chu Qing.
Chu Qing slightly nodded at all the Elders of the Chu Clan, gesturing for them to stand up before his sharp gaze fell upon Chu Fei, “Son, seeing that you are a descendant of Yu Mong, seeing that you are a descendant of Yu Mong, I'm gonna save your life today. But if it happens again, don't blame me for ignoring an old acquaintance!”
Chu Qing turned his head, his sharp gaze sweeping across all the surrounding cultivators, his voice sounding solemn, "Whoever you guys, if you dare to break the rules of our Chu Clan, you will die!"
Chu Qing's words echoed like waves rolling all over the place, smashing into the souls of all cultivators. Whereas all the disciples of the Chu Clan had serious expressions on their faces.
While certain Patriarchs and Sect Chiefs who had the same intentions as Yu Fei had stopped their thinking right then and there.
A moment later, Chu Qing's figure turned into a beam of light, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Right at this moment, a huge vortex appeared from the sky. Rays of light seeped as it grew larger, splashing light spots onto the square, accompanied by an overwhelming aura that appeared.
Everyone in all directions watched as the sky was torn apart with gazes of admiration and trepidation, from which this tall figure shrouded in light appeared in front of everyone.
When this tall figure stepped out from the vortex, countless bright lights surrounded his body.
“I am a messenger from the Highest Realm. In other words from the Divine Land that oversees the competition this year. First place, please step up to the stage I have prepared!” The figure of a tall man who was covered from view by the light that enveloped him spoke.
Even though his voice was low, it sounded like a rumble of thunder to everyone around him, projecting a superior aura.
With his relaxed fingertips, a stage made of shining gold appeared.
Seeing this, Zhang En had to put aside the matter of Yu Fei's assassination attempt on him, he flew up and landed on that golden stage.
"WHAT?!! He is that Zhang En?!” The eyes of Elder Chu Lou and Elder Chu Hua nearly fell from their sockets when they saw Zhang En's face.
Previously, the two had assumed that the participant named Zhang En whom they were betting on at that time had the same name as the first rank. They never imagined that the participant who snatched the first place in the ranking list would be the same young man they bet on.
The next moment, they found something else. They saw that Zhang En's cultivation had risen from the 10-star Heavenly God realm to the early stage 3-star Golden God realm.
"What's wrong?" The elder named Chu Zhi willingly asked, paying attention to the facial expressions of Chu Lou and Chu Hua.
Chu Hua then regained his senses, smilingly answering, "Mmmm. This young man is the kid we bet on before."
Chu Zhi was too shocked to react, then said in disbelief, "Don't you joke, aren't you saying that the young man you bet on is only the realm of Heavenly Gods?"
"I-This, mmm, we don't know what's going on either." Chu Lou muttered.
At the same time, a tall figure standing above the sky observed Zhang En, his senses probing Zhang En from top to bottom, giving praise, “Not bad, you really aren't bad, you really aren't bad, you can win the competition by relying on the cultivation of the 3-star Golden God realm. Your talent is also very good. Even placed amongst the younger generation of the leading sects that exist in the Divine Land, you can be considered as one of the extremely talented juniors.! "
'I can only be considered extremely talented?' Zhang En muttered inwardly.
Previously, he had completely hidden the three powers of his soul that were within his sea of soul.
And the sighting of the soul power from the soul crystal floating above Zhang En's current sea of souls belonged to Long Zhi. Therefore, when the senses of the envoy investigated Zhang En, what he saw was Long Zhi's soul power.
"This is your gift." The messenger then said. With a wave of his hand, the ancient god crystal core emitting a soft light floated towards Zhang En.
All excited eyes stared fixedly at Zhang En's hand.
