Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 53: Bai Xun's Breakdown

“This…”

The crowd stared at one another, dumbfounded.

[This is Master Lu Chen, the emperor’s tutor. Who dares to lay his hands on him, beating him into such a state?

Besides, didn’t you two go to the study? Why did he return… like this?

Could it be that they didn’t go to the study to read books, but to… fight?

The elegant Master Lu Chen has such interest?]

“I’m fine…” Master Lu Chen waved his hands awkwardly.

After all, he couldn’t possibly say that… Zhang Xuan had just achieved a breakthrough and unintentionally injured him due to the lack of control in his strength.

He also knew that it would be difficult to explain. Thus, Master Lu Chen walked over to the main seat, then turned to look at Uncle Cheng and said, “Ah Cheng, go and fetch a Strength Measuring Rock Pillar over!”

He was a master painter, not a fighter. Thus, no Strength Measuring Rock Pillars were placed in his lounge. However, as this item was related to one’s cultivation, there were still a few of them in his house, so it would be fine bringing one over.

“Yes!” Despite being unsure of what his master was up to, Uncle Cheng still nodded his head and retreated out of the room.

“Master Zhang, have you really reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle?” Upon seeing the room turn silent, Bai Xun couldn’t resist walking up towards him with an excited expression.

“Un!” It might be inconvenient to speak of it in the academy, but it wasn’t any secret here, so there’s no need for Zhang Xuan to conceal the fact.

“I’m also on the same level. May I exchange some blows with you?” Hearing the young man’s confirmation, Bai Xun’s eyes burned with enthusiasm.

“Bai Xun, what are you doing. Look at where you are…” Taken aback, Huang Yu quickly tried to advise him otherwise.

Master Lu Chen was an elegant person, and he hated people arguing and fighting before him. [Don’t you think that it’s a joke to be issuing a challenge in his lounge?]

It was just as Huang Yu said, Lu Chen didn’t like others to be brandishing their spears and swords before him. However, while the Strength Measuring Rock Pillar wasn’t here yet, the best way to test whether Zhang Xuan had improved was through Bai Xun.

He was aware of the fact that the latter had reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle.

With the same level of cultivation, he should be able to see whether Zhang Xuan’s strength had surged.

At this point, he raised his head and said, “I don’t have any objections if it is just ordinary sparring. However, don’t go too far!”

“Great!” Initially, Bai Xun thought that Master Lu Chen would object to it. However, contrary to his expectation, he approved. Bai Xun almost leapt up due to overwhelming excitement. With a delighted expression, he took two step towards the center of the lounge and with a cool pose, he beckoned Zhang Xuan. “Come!”

“Alright!”

Zhang Xuan had just completed his cultivation of Heaven’s Path Golden Body and he was curious to know how far his strength has progressed as well. Thus, he didn’t reject the other party’s challenge and walked over to the center of the lounge as well.

“The strength behind my fists are great, so be careful!” With hardened eyes, Bai Xun no longer had that gentlemanly look he usually had and replacing it was the aura of a powerful person unmatched by anyone.

As someone on the level of Fighter 5-dan pinnacle, in terms of strength, he was above even Shang Bin!

Huala!

After gathering his might, Bai Xun stepped forward. With his strength as a sword, the shockwave of his punch as a blade, he sent a jab straight towards Zhang Xuan.

To test his level of cultivation, Zhang Xuan didn’t bother to look at the flaws on Bai Xun compiled in the Library of Heaven’s Path and instead, he faced his fist with one of his own.

Hu!

The two fists connected midair and Zhang Xuan frowned.

“Why is the strength behind his fist so lacking? Could it be that he isn’t Fighter 5-dan pinnacle?”

Zhang Xuan’s fist went straight through the other party’s fist without slowing at all, completely overpowering him, as though a stone had met with a bubble.

Thinking that the other party wasn’t well-prepared and had yet to exert his full strength yet, Zhang Xuan quickly reduced his strength by half.

Even so, Bai Xun’s face paled and he was sent flying like a rubber ball. Sou! He only came to a stop when his back crashed onto a pillar forcefully.

“Why aren’t you using your full strength?”

Retracting his fist, Zhang Xuan walked forward and stretched out his hand to help the latter up.

“Don’t…”

Upon seeing this sight, Master Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed. He immediately tried to stop them, but he was too late.

Sou!

Bai Xun, who was pulled by the young man, flew away like a kite who had its string snapped. With a whistle of the wind, he flew in the air once again.

Paji!

After flying for a dozen meters, his face crashed into the wall and fresh blood spurted out from his mouth and nose.

“Wuuu….”

Bai Xun almost cried on the spot.

[Big brother, I know that I’m not a match for you, but you don’t have to be so merciless. My dashing features, my face…]

“Why are you…”

Seeing Bai Xun fly away with a pull of his, Zhang Xuan scratched his head with an innocent look.

[What are they doing?

First Master Lu Chen, and now Bai Xun. Is it really alright for the both of you to be leaping around?]

If the two of them were to know the thoughts that were running through his mind, they would have surely vomited blood on the spot out of depression.

[You are the one who is leaping around… We were thrown by you, alright…]

“This fellow…”

Standing by the side, Huang Yu’s eyebrows twitched and she found her head unable to cope.

Bai Xun could be considered one of the outstanding ones among the younger generation. Except for a few others, he was practically unmatched. This was precisely the reason why he cultivated a ‘competitive-but-reluctant-to-admit-defeat’ personality. He thought that the latter would not be able to match up to him in a duel, but never did he imagine that he would be sent flying in a single punch.

He lost thoroughly!

[This fellow looks ordinary, but how does he possess such overwhelming might?]

“Are you alright?” Unsure of what the others were thinking about, Zhang Xuan walked up to Bai Xun with an apologetic look.

“I’m fine…”

Bai Xun struggled upwards and patted the dust off his clothes.

As Fighter 5-dan who had tempered his bones and skin, small wounds like these did not pose a problem.

“Great. I realized that you have not used your full strength previously. How about this, let’s spar once more with you using your full strength….”

Zhang Xuan said with a serious expression.

“Again?”

Bai Xun’s face twitched and he almost cried.

[If we were to continue fighting, I might die here…]

He immediately waved his hand and said, “No need, master is indeed stronger than me. I don’t think there’s a need to continue sparring…”

“There’s no need to be courteous, it is just friendly sparring, so you don’t have to be so restrained. Also, don’t call me master, that sounds so distant…”

Zhang Xuan thought that the other party was acting cautiously due to his identity as Master Lu Chen’s peer, causing his reluctance to give his all in the spar, thus resulting in his weakness as perceived by Zhang Xuan.

When his cultivation had just reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle, he crossed blows with Yao Han, and the latter gave him a lot of pressure through his formidable strength. Yao Han’s cultivation realm was higher than Bai Xun, but as there wasn’t too much of a difference between the two, he thought that it would be the same as when he faced him. Yet, Bai Xun was sent flying with a single fist. Finding it unbelievable, he attributed it to him not exerting his full strength.

Otherwise, with his 8 ding of strength, it was impossible for him to send a Fighter 5-dan pinnacle who possessed 4 ding of strength flying with a single fist.

“Spar?”

Bai Xun trembled in fear. [You call this sparring? With just that single fist of yours, I almost ascended to the heavens, you know that?

Besides, as a fellow peer of Grandpa Lu Chen, what do I call you if not master?]

A thought flashed through his mind and his face twitched, seemingly on the verge of tears. “Since you said that it feels distant calling you master, then why don’t I call you grandpa? Grandpa Zhang, I admit my mistake, okay? I shouldn’t have been so hostile towards you, so I beg of you… Stop asking me to spar with you!”

“The Strength Measuring Rock Pillar is here!” At this moment, Uncle Cheng walked over and saw such a sight unfolding before him. Upon hearing Bai Xun’s shouting plea, he became petrified on the spot. “What?”
Library of Heaven's Path

Limitless - Chapter 77: Thrown into the Abyss

Wu Kai carried the metal cage, humming a small tune as he walked quickly towards the mountains at the back of Qing Qiu.

There were a lot of the fox race in Qing Qiu along the way. When they saw the scene, they carefully dodged to the side.

They were keenly aware of who was inside the cage.

Xiao Yue, the Heaven’s Pride of Qing Qiu!

A goddess in the eyes of many!

Yet, she had fallen to such a state now.

Many people pitied her, but no one dared to resist.

In this period of time, the blood spilled in Qing Qiu could fill a river, many people had been murdered.

These people were all from Elder Du’s line, and they were all influential people in Qing Qiu.

However, in the fight for the leadership position, the losers saw their heads rolling and their blood filling rivers.

Since historical times, such things have occurred repeatedly.

The only difference was that Elder Du was really innocent.

She had been loyal to the sect leader and unbelievably loyal to Qing Qiu, never once thinking about betraying the sect.

Sadly, the two deputies were extremely ambitious and thought of her as an obstacle.

Wu Kai was immensely contented, his face filled with an insuppressible smile.

Even though many people saw him and dodged fearfully to the side, not daring to look at him, but he did not mind.

Now you fear me, but before long, I will let you respect me!

Right now... there was no hurry!

When I become the core disciple of the deputy sect leader, you will look at me differently!

Very quickly Wu Kai arrived at the mountains at the back of Qing Qiu. After the world had recovered, a huge abyss had appeared here.

60 million years ago, this was the Qing Qiu monument.

And it was originally a huge abyss.

Even 60 million years ago, this abyss was an extremely dangerous place.

Very rarely did people who enter come out alive.

There were sayings that this abyss was linked to another dimension.

However, this was never proven

After the world had been sealed, the abyss had been sealed together with it.

30 years ago, when the seal was lifted, the abyss had reappeared.

However, in the past 30 years, virtually no one fro Qing Qiu was thrown inside.

It was too cruel!

For many people, they would rather die than be thrown into the abyss.

Elder Du was the first one!

She was being used by Elder Lu and the two deputies to scare those who dared to oppose them.

Wu Kai reached the edge of the cliff and put the cage down. He waved away the two guards and smiled at Xiao Yue, "Senior Xiao Yue, do you want to live?"

Wu Kai smiled and asked.

Xiao Yue lay in the metal cage quietly, not saying anything.

To those at the level of the deputies and Elder Lu, Xiao Yue could still reply, but when dealing with people like Wu Kai, she could not be bothered.

Wu Kai looked at Xiao Yue greedily and laughed, "Senior Xiao Yue, since you’ve changed to your original form, I believe when you change back to your human form... you have no clothes. What do you think you’ll look like if I release the seals at your feet and change you back to human form? Sh*t, I am excited!"

"Shameless!" Xiao Yue who was caged up could not help but scold.

Shameless!

Old yellow, who was inside the bushes also could not help but exclaim.

Being cultivated and not despicable was the highest level!

Learn from me, don’t ever do something like that!

Old yellow had acted a little cute in order to make his way in here together with some Qing Qiu disciples.

The foxes and wolves were similar, and weasels were a distant relative. Furthermore, his cultivation level far exceeded those of the disciples.

When he curbed his aura, his body shrunk and he looked like a normal weasel.

Most of the people in Qing Qiu treated spiritual animals well as they too had demonic blood in them.

Furthermore, Old Yellow’s method of acting cute had gained the liking of the lady disciples and they brought him in.

There were still many animals inside Qing Qiu and Old Yellow fit in perfectly.

Just in the short span of half a day, Old Yellow had managed to gather valuable intel.

He also knew that after Xiao Yue had returned, she had been betrayed and morphed back to her original state. She was then sealed and caged up.

However, Old Yellow did not dare to save her as his cultivation level was too low.

He could only observe from the side.

He had sneakily followed Wu Kai over here, seeing Wu Kai’s despicable behavior was making him want to take action.

Even though Old Yellow hadn’t spent much time with Chu Yu, he knew that Xiao Yue was one of Chu Yu’s people.

Chu Yu had also said that he would come to Qing Qiu to save Xiao Yue.

If this gal was to meet with any unfortunate events, even if Chu Yu did not blame it, it would not be able to live with such guilt.

However... this was their main camp!

Old Yellow was conflicted.

Wu Kai rubbed his hands and smiled at Xiao Yue, "Shameless? B*tch, weren’t you also shameless when you were serving that wasted person Chu Yu? Also, you must have also served his senior Song Hong? You’re not a virgin, why act so clean? Just let me have my way and I will find a way to bring you out of Qing Qiu!"

Wu Kai looked at Xiao Yue, "As long as you agree to be my slave, I swear I will find a way to save you!"

"Scram"

Xiao Yue only had one word for someone as shameless as him.

"Xiao Yue, are you not going to give me ay face!" Wu Kai was a little embarrassed as he looked into the cage at Xiao Yue, his expression cold, "I am giving you a chance now, if I force myself on you, do you think you can resist?"

"I will not let you have your way even if I die." Xiao Yue replied coldly.

At this point, she had regrets in her heart, She had never expected that the situation in Qing Qiu had deteriorated to this level.

When she returned, she found a girl friend of hers that she had grew up with, asking her for help.

This friend had promised her help, but ended up betraying her.

In her battle with Elder Lu, she had been beaten back to her original form and locked up.

That girl friend of hers, because of her help, was matched with one of Elder Lu’s sons...

It was the first time Xiao Yue had felt such chills.

"I see you don’t want the carrot, how about the stick?" Wu Kai laughed, extended his hand and opened the door to the cage!

The white fox which was Xiao Yue shrunk into a corner and bared its teeth, threatening Wu Kai.

However, this was useless. Her body was sealed and she could not use any of her abilities.

She was dragged out of the cage by her foot. Then, Wu Kai looked at Xiao Yue evilly.

"Little b*tch, since you’ve been played before by others, why not let me have a good time before you die?" As Wu Kai spoke, he pressed on a few spots on Xiao Yue’s body.

These had sealed the major acupoints on Xiao Yue, ensuring that she could not move.

Only then did he slowly extend his hand, an evil smile on his face, to release the cuffs on Xiao Yue’s legs.

Those cuffs were made of a special material, and had inscriptions on them. Xiao Yue may have been beaten into her original form, but if she got back her energy, she could turn back into human form.

This was the special ability of her species!

However, if the lock stayed on, she would forever be kept in her original form.

However, if Wu Kai released the cuffs on Xiao Yue, she would instantly turn into human form...

"Ah!"

Xiao Yue couldn’t help but scream.

No matter how unafraid of death she was, as a girl, she could not bear such humiliation.

In the distance a few of the fox race in charge of guarding the abyss looked out cautiously.

Wu Kai laughed out loudly and kept his hands, turning back and shouting, "Brothers, stay back, I, Wu Kai, owe you one, when I become the core disciple of the deputy, I won’t forget this day!"

Wu Kai had been very popular in Qing Qiu recently, and he had surpassed many of the core disciples.

The few foxes guarding the abyss did empathize with Xiao Yue, but no one dared to confront Wu Kai.

They slowly retreated back.

Old Yellow squinted his eyes in the bushes, his heart conflicted.

If he took action and saved Xiao Yue, he could still preserve her purity.

But if they wanted to escape, that would be too difficult!

This was the heart and soul of Qing Qiu, and it was filled with the lines of Zuo Datong, Liu Wucheng and Elder Lu.

Wu Kai was just a small fry, he could send him flying with a single slap, but what about those Invigorated Meridian realm experts?

Old Yellow’s mind filled with conflicting thoughts.

He had never been faced with such a difficult decision before.

Wu Kai looked at the few foxes guarding leave, turned around to look at Xiao Yue and snickered, "Now, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will save you... Heh, heh!"

As he spoke, he extended his hands to remove Xiao Yue’s cuffs.

F*ck him!

Old yellow could not take it any longer and lunged at Wu Kai!

No matter what happened after, he had to protect Xiao Yue and make sure she was not harmed right now!

At this time, a figure, many times faster than Old Yellow charged over.

Whilst Old Yellow was still in mid air, he saw a flash of light and Wu Kai’s extended arm dropped instantly!

"Ow!"

Wu Kai let out an earth shaking scream.

Blood flowed from his body!

Staining half his clothes.

Just as Chu Yu was about to execute Wu Kai, Xiao Yue screamed, "Don’t kill him!"

Chu Yu’s ancient bronze blade stopped at Wu Kai’s neck. If Xiao Yue had screamed half a second later, Wu Kai would have been beheaded.

Wu Kai was shocked paled, his entire body shivering.

He didn’t care about the pain from his broken arm. He dropped to his knees and bowed, "Don’t, don’t kill me, I am just an executor, I am innocent..."

Chu Yu kicked Wu Kai over and glanced at Old Yellow walking over, visibly ashamed, "Don’t bother explaining..."

"No, you have to hear me out, I had already lunged out, and I only dodged away because I saw that blade energy...." Old Yellow felt wronged.

However, he was shocked that Chu Yu could appear here so quickly, and he wanted to know how Chu Yu had escaped from those people.

"I know." Chu Yu nodded, then glanced at Old Yellow, "Go kill off those people over there..."

He quickly changed his orders, "Never mind, just knock them out."

Old yellow was eager to show what it was capable of, it pounded its chest and promised to finish the mission.

Chu Yu looked down at a listless Xiao Yue, the three tailed white fox still tearing.

"Young master..."

As she spoke, she choked, almost as if she had thought of something, "Young master Song, why have you come?"

"I heard you were faced with some problems here, so I came over to take a look." Chu Yu replied, visibly relaxed.

Fro afar, he could hear Old Yellow’s enraged roar, "Aiya f*ck, see my divine farting technique! F*ck, Mr Song, why are you so unreasonable, did you bring all these killers with you? Why are there so many people?"

Xiao Yue looked at Chu Yu, stunned, her eyes revealing how touched she was.

"When I came here, I caught someone and asked them, then I found out that you were in danger."

Chu Yu explained.

He scanned Wu Kai, who was still faking his death. He then turned to Xiao Yue, "What do we do with this scum?"

Xiao Yue’s gaze was icy and her eyes filled with revenge.

"Throw him into the abyss."

Anyone who could make someone as compassionate as her say something like this must have triggered a deep seated hatred.

Wu Kai was immensely scared, the hairs on his body standing. As a result of his energy being released, he was on the verge of revealing his true form.

"Senior Xiao Yue... please don’t, don’t kill me... I’m begging you, we are all in the same sect!

He pleaded.

Chu Yu retrieved a large coat and covered Xiao Yue’s fox form with it.

He then extended his hand and removed the cuffs on Xiao Yue’s legs. Although Xiao Yue would find it difficult to do it herself, it was extremely simple for someone else to remove the cuffs.

There was a ring, when Chu Yu pressed hard on it, the cuffs released instantly.

Afterwhich, Chu Yu opened his vertical eye and looked at Xiao Yue, realizing that her acupoints had been sealed.

Chu Yu began to unlock Xiao Yue’s sealed acupoints.

Xiao Yue, who had regained her freedom, began to exercise her techniques and morphed from a three tailed white fox to a human.

At this point, Wu Kai morphed into his true form.

He was just a grey fox, begging for his life.

"Don’t kill me... don’t kill me, I was wrong, senior Xiao Yue..."

Chu Yu didn’t speak, placing the cuffs onto Wu Kai’s claws with a Kacha sound.

Not caring about his pleads, Chu Yu picked him up and threw him viciously towards the abyss!

Zoom!

The grey fox, cuffed by its claws made an arc as it fell towards the abyss!

Wu Kai disappeared instantly with an accompanying cry, as if the thick mist surrounding the abyss had swallowed him up.

At this moment, there were people from all directions shouting, out for blood.

Accompanying those screams were the shouts of Old Yellow, he did not seem to be able to handle them.

The screams were to inform Chu Yu that it wanted to run away.
Limitless

Limitless - Chapter 76: Qing Qiu

The few of them looked at each other, after asking many people in succession, they finally decided to accept this rather impossible truth, albeit rather unwillingly.

According to the position Elder Shi pinpointed, he was nearby!

However, everybody here said that they did not see a Chinese man appear here.

Why?

That fella definitely knew an appearance changing technique!

Damn it!

They all felt like they had been viciously toyed by Song Hong. The feeling was horrible.

They had chased Sng Hong tens of thousands of miles to get here.

They had even made things a little awkward and unhappy between themselves when they were trying to decide how to share the loot.

In the end... the piece of fresh meat and dessert in their eyes... had just disappeared from the face of the earth?

He didn’t leave any trace!

If they had known, why even bother splitting the loot? Argue for f*ck?

The few Xiantian elders were on the verge of fighting it out in their enraged state.

Wasn’t he supposed a sitting duck?

Even before they had gotten the fish, they had fought over how to cook the fish, yet at the end of the day, the fish was long gone.

They felt like they had just f*cked a dog.

Both Elder Shi and Elder Yue felt extremely unlucky.

Especially Elder Shi, he felt that he was a complete and utter idiot!

Being played right into other’s plans was too depressing!

"Song Hong... deserves to die!"

Elder Shi grit his teeth, the fire in his eyes raging.

At this point, Chu Yu was on a long distance bus ride. Even though the wound in his back still hurt a little, it didn’t matter. The injury was not serious and it would be better after a period of rest.

He left that small city carefreely and without worries.

Chu Yu, who had been resting on the back of the seat, felt a sudden thankfulness for the 16 years which he was "wasted". In this 16 years, he had learnt a lot of knowledges beyond that of cultivation.

Amongst those were the languages of other countries!

Chu Yu was fluent in seven to eight languages, and he had dalliances into various dialects. Even though he wasn’t extremely fluent, he could hold a conversation.

Chu Yu, who had taken on the appearance of a Central Asian, sporting a well practiced accent, had no pressure when communicating with the locals.

No one would have thought that the person beside them was a pure bred Chinese.

The small city behind him became further and further away, until it disappeared beyond the horizon.

After experiencing such a crisis, Chu Yu became even more determined.

If he didn’t enter Xiantian and become a cultivator, he would always just be a slightly stronger ant.

His arrogance from a moment ago had completely disappeared after this incident.

Just like how Xue Ran’s youth caused her to pay the price; Chu Yu’s youth had caused him to make a few mistakes.

People always grow and learn from trials and tribulations. Anyone who doesn’t make mistakes is not a human, but a god.

When the bus arrived at the next city, Chu Yu began to make his way home.

He sprinted in the direction of Qing Qiu!

Qing Qiu is inside the borders of Ludi.

Compared to the underworld clans, the Qing Qius were much stronger, at the same time, due to their bloodline, they were also very mysterious.

Very secretive!

The Qing Qiu people rarely made contact with the outside world.

The current Qing Qiu sect leader was an ingenious person.

He was relatively young, a youth talent and he did not take long after the world recovered to cultivate to an extremely high level.

This time, the sect leader’s travel lasted over a year.

When it first started, there were still news of him. However, for the good half of last year, it would seem that he had entered into an ancient monument and there was no news of him since.

This news was placed under lockdown within Qing Qiu, and little people within the sect knew.

This was why Elder Lu’s section could not resist taking down Elder Du.

They had felt that there was a good chance that the sect leader had ran into trouble!

Else, how could he have been comms silent for over half a year?

For any normal monument, you could finish exploring it in two to three days, if it was a big monument, ten days to half a month should suffice.

Unless it was an enormous monument like the one that Chu Yu found under the Ruins of the Pile of Three Stars, but even those could be settled in a few months.

How could it be that he disappeared for more than half a year without any news?

The Qing Qiu headquarters.

Inside a huge palace.

There was a steel cage about a man’s height. Around the cage were a ton of inscriptions.

Inside the cage, there was a three tailed white fox about five feet tall.

There were a lot of dried blood stains on the white fox. They sticked onto its initially smooth and shining white fur, shocking anyone who saw it.

The white fox lay there, cuffed by its claws. Even the cuffs were sealed with inscriptions.

It did not move, almost as if it was dead.

There were a few people outside the cage.

Two of the leaders of Qing Qiu, Zuo Datong and Liu Wucheng stood there calmly.

Elder Lu had a cold smile on his face as he looked at the three tailed white fox.

Other than this, there were a few people standing some distance away, including his most recent disciple Wu Kai.

Because he was loyal, smart and had foresight, Wu Kai was extremely valued by Elder Lu.

If his abilities could be improved further, he could even become one of Elder Lu’s core disciples!

Wu Kai looked at the three tailed white fox in the cage and he couldn’t help but reveal a smile of content.

He thought to himself, "What did I say? I said, you won’t be my senior for long! B*tch, you’re so aloof usually, and you put no one in your eyes. Now aren’t you like an obedient kitty, laying there unmoving?"

And I, Wu Kai, will become Elder Lu... no, Vice Sect Leader Lu’s core disciple!

His standing will soon be extremely high!

For all he knew, he could have the chance of being given the surname Hu!

As for you, you will become a prisoner, following in the footsteps of your master and thrown into the depths.

What a pity... you’re so beautiful!

Wu Kai slowly took in Xiao Yue’s beauty, he had desired her for very long, but he did not dare show it before.

Before, Xiao Yue was like the moon in the sky whilst he was only a rock on the floor.

But the situation now had changed!

If he had the chance to marry her... how good would that be?

Wu Kai had wild thoughts even as he maintained a stern expression externally.

He needed to be more serious in the face of the higher ups.

Elder Lu stared at the caged Xiao Yue and said icily, "Xiao Yue, with things the way they are now, are you still unwilling to admit to your mistakes?"

Xiao Yue who had reverted to human form was still cold, and she opened her eyes slowly, her eyes filled with weakness but she was still stubbornly strong.

"What have I done wrong?"

"Are you not going to confess until you face death in the face? Do you really want to be like your traitor master and be thrown into the depths?" Elder Lu’s voice was cold even as he stared icily at Xiao Yue.

"I think you all know who the true traitors are, when the sect leader comes back, he will not let you all off." Xiao Yue’s voice was weak, but still characteristically icy.

"Sect leader? Haha, he’s not coming back!" Vice sect leader Zuo Datong laughed coldly, "If he could come back, he would have been back a long time ago!"

Liu Wucheng said flatly, "So what if the sect leader returns? There is overwhelming evidence that your master is a traitor, even the sect leader must do things by the book."

"Xiao Yue, your crimes are serious, and you are unrepentant, I will give you one last chance."

Elder Lu looked at Xiao Yue icily, his voice cold, "If you tell us how your problem was solved, did Song Hong do it? If you tell us where Song Hong is from... I will tell the two sect leaders to show you leniency!"

"Two sect leaders?" Xiao Yue said disdainfully, "Save it, if you all want to kill me do it, if you all want to throw me into the abyss, do so quickly, whatever you all want to do, I will not rebut."

"Good, I like stubborn girls like you." Elder Lu let out a snarl as he looked to the two deputies, Zuo Datong and Liu Wucheng.

Both of them nodded slightly.

Elder Lu looked at Wu Kai, "Go, throw her into the abyss!"

Wu Kai was stiffened and bowed immediately, "Yes master!"

As he spoke, he moved quickly over and lifted up the metal cage. The metal cage was a few hundred catties heavy, but this was nothing for a high level Acupoint CHarging martial artist.

After Wu Kai left, Elder Lu looked to Zuo Datong and Liu Wucheng and laughed, "Two sect leaders... this country cannot be without a leader. As of now, the ancient schools are all entering society, and without a leader, Qing Qiu is lagging behind. This cannot go on! Will both leaders please..."

Zuo Datong revealed some motive in his expression.

Liu Wucheng also couldn’t help but be deep in thought.

Even though they were the deputies, and reported only to one men, they were still deputies after all, and they were still subordinates.

They were worried that if the Sect Leader did not actually die, what would happen upon his return?

This was no trivial matter, even though the sect leader is young, he is the pure descendant of the foxes.

His status has been confirmed by the ancestors.

In other words, he was the only legitimate one!

Even though Zuo Datong and Liu Wucheng had pure fox blood in their veins, they were still many ways off the sect leader.

The leader of the Qing Qius was the leader of the entire fox race, and they had to be confirmed and supported by all the foxes.

Even though they wanted to take the throne, they had many reservations.

Elder Lu advised with seriousness, "The Sect Leader has left for a long time, and abandoned the rest of the sect here. Such behavior is utterly irresponsible. Does it mean that if he does not come back, Qing Qiu shuts down?"

As he spoke, he looked at the two of them, "Furthermore, this plan of ours... is also a rather makeshift plan, even if the Sect Leader returns, he shouldn’t have any reason to fault us right?"

At last, Elder Lu said, "Furthermore, both deputies must have known that this plan... left no room for turning back."

Zuo Datong and Liu Wucheng stiffened as they looked at each other.

Exactly, no turning back

In order to suppress Elder Du and his line, they had murdered many people. Even Elder Du was thrown into the abyss and her beloved disciple, Xiao Yue, who may have the Lightning Fox’s blood, was also about to be thrown into the abyss.

This would be sufficient to drag their names through the mud and prevent them from ever making a comeback!

"Ok then... Elder Lu, contact some of the other elders, get them on board..." Zuo Datong looked at Elder Lu and said solemnly.

Liu Wucheng nodded, "Afterwards, you will be the first deputy!"

Elder Lu could not suppress his happiness as he dropped to his knees, "Thank you leaders for your promotion!"

"Stand up, Lu Ping, you are a smart man, don’t say anymore, we don’t forget our friends when we succeed!" Zuo Datong replied.

Lu Ping brought his people down with wind under his cape.

Zuo Datong and Liu Wucheng sat in the room and smiled at each other.

Zuo Datong said, "Sect leader should still be stuck in that east sea dragon palace right?

Liu Wucheng smiled, "He should still be alive, in fact, I hope he can see the day when we become the sect leader."

Zuo Datong grit his teeth and laughed, "That yellow mouth kid, he didn’t know his place when he took over the leader position. He plotted against us in the dark, but he didn’t know that we had seen through him a long time ago and put together a huge feast for him!"

As they spoke, the two of them could not help but guffaw.

Limitless - Chapter 75: Fooling the Xiantians

He suddenly remembered that cultivators in the Xiantian realm had control over the sacred art!

Could it be that they had put some form of a mark on my body?

Such ability was not found in the Acupoint Charging and Invigorated Meridian martial artists, but for the Xiantian cultivators, this was nothing much!

They had the ability to place a sacred recording mark on other’s body without anyone noticing.

Such a sacred recording mark was many times more powerful than the technological Global Positioning Satellite. It had a range of tens of thousands of miles, had no blind spots or signal errors and it was terrifyingly accurate!

Thinking of such a possibility, Chu Yu felt chills run down his spine.

He was still a little too careless!

He had underestimated the methods of the Xiantian cultivators.

They had let him play the cat and mouse game inside the city because they had every confidence that he could not escape their grasp.

Chu Yu took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Then, he opened up his vertical eye and began to search his body.

He looked into his entire body and finally found a faint ball of energy at the base of his back.

The ball of energy was attached to his back, and it was only the size of a rice grain.

It looked like a maggot attached to his bone!

Under the observation of his vertical eye, it had no place to hide.

However, if he did not have the vertical eye, he had no way of knowing that it existed.

Indeed it was like that!

Chu Yu was slightly depressed. The feeling of being set up by people without you noticing was way too upsetting.

In a flash, he entered a small restaurant and called for some light snacks.

His current image was no different from any central asian and he had a fluent local accent. His appearance here was in no way strange or sudden.

Chu Yu sat there silently as he tried to resolve the ball of energy.

He did not attempt to use his own energy to resolve it, the mark left by a Xiantian cultivator belonged to the sacred art category.

Based on his current cultivation level, even though he had attained the great circle of Acupoint Charging, he had no way of using his own energy to resolve it.

Strength and magic skills were two different things that belong to two different worlds.

Chu Yu could only hope that the vertical eye in his forehead would be triggered to fire off some mystical force that could remove this mark.

The little metal ball that became his vertical eye was too cryptic. All this while, without considering its origins, even understanding what it could do eluded Chu Yu.

All he knew is that the little metal ball that morphed into a vertical eye would protect the owner in times of crises.

As for the rest, he could only explore it further as he cultivated.

This time, in order to resolve the sacred recording mark on his body, Chu Yu could only do the only thing he knew and roll the dice.

He focused his energies but did not open his vertical eye, instead choosing to use his mental energies to move it.

A faint wave of energy began to emanate from his forehead.

There was movement in his vertical eye.

Chu Yu’s face revealed traces of happiness.

He did not relax, because those Xiantian cultivators could find him at any moment.

A wave of courage!

Continue!

As he entered the Great Circle of Acupoint Charging, Chu Yu’s mental strength had improved greatly as compared to before.

If this was before, he would have no way of causing such movement in his vertical eye.

Chu Yu carefully led the thread of faint energy from his vertical eye.

This energy seemed like it could dissipate any moment, it was weak like a candle in the wind.

As such, he needed to be incredibly focused!

As such, even when the waiters brought his food over, his face was still completely expressionless.

After the waiter greeted Chu Yu and realized that he didn’t respond, he looked weirdly into his eyes before shrugging his shoulders and leaving.

Such things had become commonplace to him. Everyone has their quirks, even though this one was rather weird.

At this point, Chu Yu had already led that wave of faint energy all the way to his back.

That thread of energy which could break any moment seemed to sense that ball of energy that did not belong to Chu Yu the moment it arrived.

Like a hungry wolf, it lunged ferociously at that ball of energy!

It was almost as if a sick seedling had become a dragon or a tiger in an instant!

This unexpected scene shocked even Chu Yu.

In the next moment, the rice sized ball of energy stuck to his back was swallowed in an instant by the energy he had brought from his forehead.

In this moment, Chu Yu had a very unsatisfied feeling!

As if... he was very hungry!

Very hungry?

He was stunned, this definitely was not his own thought, rather... it was caused by that thread of energy from his vertical eye.

What was going on?

Even Chu Yu himself was shocked.

The thread of energy that came from his forehead disappeared in the instant that it swallowed the mark that the Xiantian had left behind.

Only Chu Yu could feel the wave of energy return to his forehead.

He then looked again at his back and found no trace of the ball of energy which disappeared.

Done!

Chu Yu

That maneuver had expended a lot of his mental energy.

In the next moment, Chu Yu didn’t know if it was a mistaken feeling, but he felt that his mental power... had become even stronger.

Only now did he begin to realize that the power that his vertical eye brought about required a higher cultivation level to activate.

His cultivation level was still too low. He believed that after entering the Invigorated Meridian realm, there would be a rise in his power.

Having solved the problem, Chu Yu’s mood became much lighter.

The feeling of being watched had disappeared completely in an instant.

Chu Yu began tasting the local delicacies, relaxed, he even flashed a well meaning smile at the server.

"This is delicious!"

The restaurant's server nodded at Chu Yu stiffly, and he also smiled, "Thank you!"

Yet, he thought to himself, What a weirdo!

He finished his meal quickly, stood up to pay and threw down one USD in tips and left under the respectful gaze of the server.

In such a fast food restaurant, people come and go, and there were a few people coming and going before and after Chu Yu.

Chu Yu wandered about casually along the roads of the city feeling happy and carefree.

All of a sudden, he saw a few people in the distance walking over from the east and was stunned for a moment. After he calmed himself down, his eyes had traces of curiosity as he sized up these people.

This should be them!

Chu Yu did not meet the other Xiantian realm cultivators, but it was highly probable that these were the people considering that they were Chinese appearing at such a time.

Chu yu remembered each of their faces before smiling and blending into the crowd.

He slipped away.

The few Xiantian cultivators, Elder Shi, Elder Yue and the robed youth were still excitedly sizing up the city filled with beautiful scenery.

With victory right in front of them, their mood was relaxed.

Elder Shi had already pinpointed Song Hong’s location accurately, to them, the rest of the matters were too simple.

Looking at this small city, Elder Yue had some strong sentiments, it was markedly changed from what it was a few decades ago.

The rest nodded, as if taking in the effects of time.

As Xiantian realm cultivators, they had been walking the earth since it had recovered, wanting to explore some of the ancient monuments.

At that point, most of the ancient monuments were still hidden due to insufficient spiritual energy.

As such, these people did not reap much benefits.

All they really managed was to familiarize themselves with this world.

At this point, Elder Shi’s expression changed minutely. When he tried to sense Song Hong’s position again, he found out that the sacred recording mark... was not responding!

The rest of the people around him were very sensitive and looked towards him immediately.

Elder Shi said, "Damn, my sacred recording mark has disappeared!"

"Disappeared?"

"How could this happen?"

"Are you kidding?"

The few Xiantian cultivators were all floored.

Elder Yue looked at Elder Shi in disbelief, "The sacred recording mark has disappeared? That’s impossible! The marks that you leave, even if I want to remove them, would take me more than an hour and a half. Unless..."

Elder Yue suddenly stopped speaking, her beautiful, intelligent face revealing traces of shock and awe.

The other Xiantian realm cultivators all slowly began to react and their expressions turned ugly.

Unless what?

Unless there were even stronger cultivators here!

Above Xiantian was the King’s Realm!

But... how was this possible?

How could a King’s Realm superior individual appear in a small city in Central Asia?

Unless this was a trap set up long ago by Song Hong, waiting for the Xiantians to fall into it.

But was this possible?

Upon more serious thought, it seemed... highly unlikely!

The tendency to underestimate one’s opponents is a weakness of many.

Even though Elder Yue and Elder Shi were elderly elites, they were still human and would underestimate their opponents at times.

THey had thought that Song Hong must have been desperate to run to a barbaric place like Central Asia.

However, in the moment that Elder Shi’s sacred recording mark had disappeared, they had immediately thought of the fact that Song Hong might not have been desperate, maybe... he had lured them here on purpose!

The robed, short haired teen said solemnly, "Previously when he was facing the Invigorated Meridian realm martial artists, he did say something..."

"I heard it, he said, didn’t you all realize that I had lured you here on purpose, so that I can kill all of you together..."

One of the Xiantian cultivators frowned, "At that time I thought he was bragging..."

Elder Shi’s face darkened. He was the first Xiantian cultivator to attack, and it was blocked by Song Hong; the one who placed the sacred recording mark... was also him, and it was also broken.

This made him feel humiliated, his heart building up waves of uncontrollable rage.

However, when he thought of the possibilities, he felt chills down his spine, what if... he really had a King’s realm master backing him. If they went over like this now, won’t they be sending themselves to their deaths?

At this point, Elder Yue said, "Something's not right!"

Everybody looked at her, their eyes filled with doubt.

Elder Yue took a deep breath and said slowly, "If the opponent has a backer, and a really good one, then why would he need to remove the sacred recording mark on Song Hong?"

"Exactly, wouldn’t it be better if he... just sat there waiting for us to send ourselves to our deaths?"

"If he really had a King’s realm master around, he wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble, and Song Hong wouldn’t need to run this far..."

The few of them reacted quickly.

"The problem is, how did he remove Elder Shi’s sacred recording mark? Could it be that he has an even stronger magical equipment with him?"

"Even if he has a stronger magical equipment, can he use it as an Acupoint Charging Realm martial artist?"

"In the ancient times, there were some amulets which did not need a high level of power to activate. It was usually given to those younger descendents as protective equipment..."

The few Xiantian Realm cultivators were all stunned, they used up all of their brain juice but still could not figure out how this had happened.

Finally, the unsatisfied group decided to take a look at the place where the sacred recording mark disappeared. No matter what, they had already lost the chance to kill Song Hong.

As such, if they really did meet a King’s Realm master, at most, they would just hang their heads and apologize. They didn’t think that the other party would be so petty as to bear a grudge.

There was even a possibility that they could meet a King’s Realm master and have a strong backer from now on.

The few Xiantian cultivators arrived at the small restaurant where Chu Yu last appeared. Nearby the restaurant, Elder Yue, who knew the foreign language, began to use gestures and broken sentences to communicate their intent. After they garnered some intel, they were all stunned.

Other than them, there were no Chinese people who had come by here!
Limitless

Limitless - Chapter 74: Xiantian Cultivators

"Kill us?" The Invigorated Meridian Stage 11 youth guffawed and retrieved a magical equipment. It was a palm sized green seal.

In the instant that it was activated, the green seal hummed and released a wave of majestic spiritual energy!

Almost as if it was channeling ancient energy!

In an instant, it was magnified many times and became a huge seal over a meter squared in area

The huge seal had mysterious inscriptions on all four sides and had a large amount of powerful energy flowing inside it.

It was like an ancient giant beast awakening!

Extremely awe-inspiring!

The youth boomed and it was echoed by the huge seal. The seal flew into the sky and came crashing down towards Chu Yu!

That powerful force exploded in an instant, almost as if the Milky Way was crashing down

"Trash, let me show you what is power!" The Invigorated Meridian Stage 11 youth laughed coldly.

Chu Yu’s silhouette jumped into action. He held the ancient bronze dagger in his hand and slashed at the huge seal.

It was as if he was a god returning to earth, and he was unbelievably bold and powerful. The ancient bronze dagger in his hand did not release any sword aura, but a large amount of light did explode along the blade.

Bang!

A thunderous sound rang out and the ancient bronze dagger in Chu Yu’s hand slashed viciously at the huge seal.

Sparks flew everywhere!

The ancient bronze blade broke instantly!

However, that huge seal was also knocked away by Chu Yu. With a loud boom, it smashed into the desert thousands of meters away.

A large plume of sand flew up, the scene was stunning!

Almost like the apocalypse!

The yellow sand that was knocked up covered the sky for miles.

The sky was completely yellow!

The Invigorated Meridian Stage 11 youth who was controlling the seal looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind, which was not particularly strong, severely hit by this.

He spit out a mouthful of blood immediately.

In that instant that Chu Yu knocked the seal away, he felt a huge tremor in his arm, and an aching, numbing feeling came over him.

He felt like he had just f*cked a dog!

He knew that this seal was definitely a legendary equipment!

With his current power channeled into the ancient bronze blade, he could at least harness four fold of its power.

Yet it broke upon impact!

This was sufficient to prove that this seal was above the Xiantian realm!

As such, even though his hand was aching numb, and even though pain was creeping in, in the instant that the seal was knocked into the air, Chu Yu ran in the direction it was flying.

His reactions were too quick!

Whilst the others were still recovering from shock, Chu Yu was already gone in a whiff of smoke. He sprinted thousands of meters and lifted that heavy shrunken seal and placed it in his storage ring.

Then he turned and ran!

Just behind him, several terrifying attacks landed simultaneously at where the seal was.

One of the attacks even scraped Chu Yu, cutting a deep gash in Chu Yu’s back.

Blood flowed continuously!

Chu Yu did not feel it and kept his head down as he sprinted.

The group of Invigorated Meridian experts that gave chase were all from influential clans.

Which one of them didn’t have multiple treasures?

Chu Yu was not scared of them, but his vertical eye had just seen that in the distance, there were a few waves of extremely strong energy fluctuations that his vertical eye could not see clearly.

That was Xiantian!

The real cultivators!

Each of them were unbelievably scary, and Chu Yu, at his current level, could not go head to head with them!

As such, he immediately got rid of his thought of using these Invigorated Meridian Realm experts to train himself.

He was not as dumb as the weasel, there was a right time and place to act dead!

Furthermore, in that short battle, Chu Yu was extremely clear that even if he faced the best of the Invigorated Meridian Realm, he could give them a run for their money!

This knowledge, was sufficient.

As for the Xiantians in the distance, they caused Chu Yu to go numb. What else could he do but run?

They do take me seriously!

Chu Yu laughed coldly inside, and sprinted manically across the infinite desert.

Suddenly!

A huge danger enveloped Chu yu in an instant.

His vertical eye suddenly exploded with a wave of unimaginable, stunning power.

It instantly formed into a shield that enveloped Chu Yu.

Bang!

Chu Yu felt as if his body was about to shatter!

His body flew, it was the first time he flew this far in the air!

With a scream, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

After he landed, Chu Yu felt as if his entire body was going to break apart.

This attack was too vicious!

If not for his vertical eye, this attack would have broke his entire body apart!

Chu Yu was both furious and shocked!

Then he turned and ran!

At this point, the air echoed out with a ferocious and stunning boom!

A silhouette appeared all of a sudden, his speed unimaginable!

An elder stopped at where Chu Yu was just knocked flying. He could not belief what just happened.

He could not belief that his attack just now, didn’t actually kill the child?

As a Xiantian cultivator, he had a way of making Chu Yu hang on to life by a thread and account for everything!

As such, he did not hold back, and wanted to shatter Chu Yu’s body in a single blow.

What he used, was the sacred art!

Only the true cultivators could use the sacred art!

Such an attack, even for the best in the Invigorated Meridian Realm, much less an acupoint charging martial artist like Chu Yu, would have his body smashed to smithereens!

How was this possible?

The eyes of the elder revealed deep confusion, and he looked at the silhouette, sprinting towards a small city in disbelief.

At this point, the silhouette had already entered the small city.

Woosh woosh woosh!

A few figures appeared next to the elder.

The few of them did not speak, their gazes all fixated on the small city.

"He has... legendary equipment." One of the youths in his 30s said lightly.

The youth looked rather young, but the age in his eyes betrayed his true age. He wore a robe, but he had modern short hair and looked rather handsome.

He placed his hands behind his back and stood there, his spiritual energy filling up the area.

"Elder Shi attacks extremely fast." An elderly man in his 60s said with a hypocritical smile.

The elder who had attacked stiffened and said, "So what if I’m fast? Even if I can subdue the kid, can I take him for myself?"

As he spoke, he looked to Elder Yue and nodded, "Elder Yue, it has been so long, but you are still as youthful as before, your abilities are probably up a notch. I’m guessing that you’re within reach of the King’s Realm soon?"

Elder Shi’s words cause the others to shiver slightly, and their gazes at Elder Yue became more complicated.

There was respect, and envy.

The King’s Realm, that was past the Xiantian realm.

In the few decades that the world has returned to prosperity, the people who could enter this realm were extremely rare.

Even if they are the owners of sects and have access to limitless resources, it was immensely difficult to enter such a realm.

Elder Yue smiled lightly, "I am still far from it."

"Elder Yue, Song Hong is injured, and he has entered that small city, he should not have the ability to run." That robed, short haired youth looked at Elder Yue, "Should we have a chat with him about the rightful owner to the legacy in his posession?"

The others all looked to Elder Yue.

Over here, it was no secret that Elder Yue was the strongest.

However, the rest were not much weaker.

If they teamed up, Elder Yue may not be able to defeat them.

As such, even though they were humble when speaking to Elder Yue, they were not scared.

Elder Yue smiled briefly, "We can split the Crane Saint’s legacy equally, as for the other items, as well as Song Hong, I want them."

"This... what Elder Yue wants, it’s a little too much isn’t it?"

The robed youth said, "I heard that he had quite a lot of loot from his expedition to the Ruins of the Pile of Three Stars..."

At their level, they could get whatever news they wanted easily.

Elder Shi laughed and said, "Actually, today’s earth... to be accurate, the entire solar system, has too many ancient legacies left behind."

He looked at the others, "Before those who left return, these items are without owners. As such, we should try to get as much as we can right now... more importantly, we must breakthrough to higher levels as quickly as possible.

His words let the others to ponder over it solemnly.

Even though Elder Shi seemed to be talking about something completely unrelated, in actual fact, he was reminding everyone not to fall out over the little rewards now.

Elder Yue looked at Elder Shi, she knew that whilst Elder Shi’s words seemed to be advising the robed youth, in truth wasn’t he trying to remind her too?

Remind her to not be greedy!

Elder Yue smiled and said flatly, "We are a group of abandoned people. Over the millions of years, many things have changed. Now that the world has recovered, we will chase our dreams courageously and return to our former glory. I believe that this is also what our ancestors would want to see".

She looked at the crows, "Back then, those people who left had hoped that they would return one day, but this world, is no longer theirs. It is ours."

"Anyone who can come back along the stars is a true expert."

The robed youth glanced at her, "At that point, we, the abandoned people, would become the target of everyone, willingly or unwillingly."

Elder Yue smiled and thought to herself, "That is yet to be seen! Returning to our former sects is an equally good choice. Then, whoever has the better legacy, and more of it, would be the stronger one!"

As such, what she said and what she thought were two completely different things.

However, the others were not fools either, and what they said may not be their true feelings.

The robed youth said flatly, "How about this, Elder Yue, all of the treasures on Song Hong will be yours, he... will also be yours."

He looked deeply at Elder Yue, "After blocking the attack from Elder Shi, Song Hong was still able to escape to that small city, this shows that he has legendary equipment on him. As for the other things, like the legacies... let’s split them equally."

Upon hearing this, Elder Shi and the other Xiantian experts nodded in agreement.

Even though they were also salivating over the legendary equipment on Chu Yu which could block a Xiantian attack, they knew that if they didn’t give Elder Yue enough incentive, she will foil their plans.

Even though Elder Yue was not fully satisfied, she could only settle for this right now. She said flatly, "Ok then."

After deciding how the incentives should be split, the few Xiantian experts turned their attention to that small city.

All their faces revealed traces of faint excitement!

The legacy of a saint was within reach!

Song Hong had nowhere else to run to, did he really think that he would be free of all his troubles by hiding in the small city?

How naive!

He had no idea that martial artists and cultivators were people from two different worlds!

Elder Shi said, "Just now, I had already put a sacred recording mark on him, I can clearly feel his position, let’s go."

At this point, the few Invigorated Meridian experts from just now, as well as some who had caught up after stood from afar and looked at them.

Elder Shi looked at them, there was a young talent from his sect there.

"You all wait here, if there are any incentives, we will give you some."

Those Invigorated Meridian martial artists looked at each other, bitterness filling their faces, especially the youth who had his magical equipment robbed from him.

He looked depressed and he said unabashedly, "My magical equipment... was taken away by Song Hong."

Elder Yue looked at him, "We’ll return it to you after!"

The youth bowed deeply at Elder Yue, "The younger generation thanks Elder Yue!"

Elder Yue nodded faintly, "No big deal."

In the city, Chu Yu had already taken on a central asian look, but he still felt like an invisible pair of eyes were watching him. How unsettling!
Limitless

Limitless - Chapter 73: You Will Enter Another Country If You’re Not Careful!

The two of them were sent flying by Chu Yu and the surroundings became silent.

Was it even possible for an Acupoint Charging martial artist to be this powerful?

This wasn’t just perverted, this was demonic, this was against Heaven’s will!

How is this possible?

The Invigorated Meridian experts hiding by the side were all stunned, not believing what they were seeing.

Elder Yue had brought Xue Ran along and rushed to the scene. Upon seeing this, his eyes sparkled and he became deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Xue Ran, on the other hand, felt chills running down her spine.

She thought to herself, What have I done?

She had actually wanted to play such a powerful individual into her hands?

Did she really just try to use a carrot and stick approach to make him grateful towards her?

My gosh!

Those were two extremely powerful youths, Invigorated Meridian Stage Eight and Invigorated Meridian Stage Nine respectively!

They had immense power and awe inducing battle prowess.

Yet, they couldn’t even last a single round with Song Hong?

Xue Ran’s face was flushed, she felt extremely ashamed and guilty.

Cold beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

She had always thought of herself as extremely intelligent, peerless even, and she had never bothered about anyone else.

For example, little dazed girls like Feng Ning, were simply unimportant children to her.

Only after being enlightened by Elder Yue did she realise that she wasn’t as smart as she thought, in fact... she was a little dumb.

The most frustrating things in this world were the people who were dumb but insisted that they were smart!

These people, if they were unable to see their own weaknesses, were the worst!

Xue Ran had been beaten to a point where she couldn’t help but recognize her weaknesses, yet that feeling was an awkward one.

As she saw the two Invigorated Meridian Realm experts fly through the sky as a result of Chu Yu’s attack, she found herself gasping for air.

As Elder Yue looked at the pale faced Xue Ran, he took he icy hand in his and used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Only by knowing shame can you be courageous, that’s the only way you’ll have a future. Later on, don’t follow us. If... and I mean if, no one can succeed today, then in the future, find an opportunity to mend bridges with Song Hong."

Xue Ran shivered, then nodded silently.

She had learnt so much from this lesson!

Over there!

Seeing as the two Invigorated Meridian martial artists had been sent flying, the other Invigorated Meridian martial artists could not hold it in any longer and all jumped out.

There were more than 20 of them!

They ranged from Invigorated Meridian Stage Three, all the way to Stage 10 or higher... each one of them radiated with a strong aura.

Someone said solemnly, "First, grab this b*tch, then... we will split the Crane Saint’s legacy equally!"

In such a situation, it would be difficult for anyone to take the Crane Saint’s legacy for himself.

As such, they would rather take down Chu Yu and split the loot equally!

As they saw it, they could just make copies and hand them to everyone!

In order to cultivate using a saint’s techniques, one needed talent. As long as they got it, it would be like gaining a huge advantage for their sects!

Could their own benefits be little?

Of course not!

"Agree!"

"I agree!"

"Good!"

"That’s a deal!"

A group of Invigorated Meridian martial artists pressed in on Chu Yu.

This group of people virtually all came from ancient schools, and they had powerful backers!

In the darkness, there were a few people already in the Xiantian Realm, but they did not move.

You don’t burn the house to rid a mouse!

When you attained such a level, in the current world, it would make you one of the top martial artists!

Not only did they want to get the Crane Saint’s legacy, they wanted it for themselves.

They had an even better idea than the Invigorated Meridian martial artists of what the legacy of a saint could do.

With the recovery of the world, anyone who wanted to rise quickly had to depend on something like that.

As such, they were still waiting!

They were still observing!

They all wanted to know if there was a strong, unknown power backing Song Hong.

Else, there would be a constant nagging feeling in their hearts.

Anyone who could attain such power was no pushover.

Chu Yu looked at the people surrounding him and used the Voice Transmission Technique to speak with the weasel, "Old Yellow, fart!"

Damn you, you’re the one farting!

Old yellow nearly could not hold in his rebuttal, his anger choking him up.

It was a cultured weasel with deep research into humans. It still remembered the first time it saw the phrase, "A weasel which calls upon a chicken does not have good intentions. It nearly angered him to death!"

Weasels rarely eat chickens ok? Humans on the other hand, eat chickens all the time...

All in all, in its eyes, most humans were jerks!

Not many were good.

However, it did not dare disobey Chu Yu’s orders. Seeing the people rushing over, the weasel turned its body and farted.

Poot-

A wave of pungent yellow gas, accompanied by a disgusting, stinging smell, formed a fan shape... and slowly wafted towards the group of men.

"Run quickly!" Chu Yu used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell the weasel, before taking off himself.

Old Yellow didn’t even wait for Chu Yu’s command, after farting, it turned and ran/

Else, if it didn’t run, was it supposed to wait around for these furious Invigorated Meridian martial artists to rip it to shreds?

"Aiyo... what is that damned smell?"

"F*ck... stinking me to death! F*ck his mother... its that weasel farting!"

"That damned weasel!"

"How f*cking smelly! What a jerk!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah, I want to kill that damned weasel!" One of the ladies lost her cool and raged.

However, this scream caused the fart smell to be all the more pungent in her mouth, and her entire body was covered in the stench, causing her to almost crumble on the spot.

"Song Hong has run away!"

"Don’t let him get away!"

"Chase, quickly!"

"This is infuriating, that b*stard!"

These group of men picked up their speed and raced out of the fart cloud, chasing in the direction that Chu Yu disappeared in.

The weasel’s fart had utterly enraged the entire group of Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists.

Even the few hidden Xiantian experts were stunned. They quickly closed up their six senses, and build a shield to block the stench.

Even though the stench did not reach them, they were all disgusted by it.

Their impression of Song Hong and the weasel plummeted.

How shameless!

In order to think of using a weasel’s fart to suffocate people... how evil must one be in order to think of such an idea?

Was he really an elite cultivated by an influential power?

How was it that he seemed like such a horrible person!

As they saw Song Hong run, the few Xiantians also began to move.

The weasel went to the south whilst Chu Yu ran to the East.

Some of the people who hated the weasel had no choice but to give up the chase against the weasel. After all, getting the legacy of the Crane Saint was more important.

Chu Yu ran manically for over half an hour in a single breath.

Even he himself did not know where he was, but clearly, he had already left China.

Even though he did not run with all his effort, there were few who could chase up to him.

Other than the few Xiantian powerhouses, there were only three to four high stage Invigorated Meridian martial artists who could barely follow behind, without being left in the dust.

This was all part of Chu Yu’s plan!

Maybe in the eyes of those people, by coming to a foreign land, his clearly eastern features would become even more obvious, leaving him no place to hide! The others did indeed think that way. As they saw "Song Hong" choose the route desperately and rush into Meng Country, and from Meng Country to Afghanistan, the few Xiantians laughed coldly.

They were also slightly relieved. Even though they felt that Song Hong was ridiculously powerful... it was likely that he was just a rogue cultivator who had stumbled upon good luck!

Now that the world had recovered, there were bound to be some incredibly lucky people who had gotten unimaginable legacies and progressed to great levels in a short time.

Weren’t there rumors that Song Hong had gotten much loot from the Ruins of the Pile of Three Stars? Song Hong then was nowhere near as powerful!

As such, there could possibly be no one backing him!

He may be a pure... lucky person!

In this day and age, it is possible to find out the birth clan and school of every superior youth talent.

Why is it that this Song Hong is so mysterious?

From start to end, no one had heard of his tutelage or his origin.

Even with his life on the line, he had no one to run to and could only choose a desperation route and run away.

As such, the mysteriousness was all his own concoction!

Just like what was said in the poster released by Xue Ran from the Rainfall Ancient Sect, the Chu Clan was simply a small tool in Song Hong’s hands.

This Song Hong, was completely and utterly... a powerful scammer!

He had lied to everyone!

After the truth was revealed he wasn’t even worth mentioning.

The few Xiantian experts had lived many moons, the youngest was already over 200 years old.

After they figured out what was going on, all of them independently felt a rage build up in them.

How could these elderly men hundreds of years old be fooled by a infant like chap like him?

As such, they never took action, worried about who or what kind of power was behind Song Hong?

Now, where can you run to?

These few Xiantian experts no longer cared about what kind of trick Song Hong could come up with, their only obstacle now, was themselves.

Chu Yu had already passed a few small towns, after hearing their accents and seeing their faces, he realized that he had entered Central Asia.

He had entered the world’s biggest inland country, Afghanistan.

After entering a patch of desert, Chu Yu finally stopped for a breather.

He looked like he was exhausted.

The few Invigorated Meridian Stage 10 and above martial artists behind him slowly began to reveal their silhouettes.

They had no choice, after entering the desert, there is no place for cover.

They also were not adept enough in the divine magical techniques to make themselves invisible.

However, there was no need for them to hide once they were here.

One of the Invigorated Meridian Stage 10 youth martial artist smiled coldly at Chu Yu, "Why aren’t you running anymore? You run rather quickly. No wonder you’re this arrogant. However, you probably didn’t expect that we could chase you here in a single breath did you?"

"If you are smart enough, you would hand over the Crane Saint’s legacy as well as the other valuables on you and scram. Maybe, you can still live by the skin of your teeth."

Another youth said faintly, he was also an Invigorated Meridian Stage 10 expert!

In all of the ancient schools, there were considered part of the core disciples!

They were the disciples of the masters in the clan!

The other Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists looked at each other. They could sense the greed and excitement in each other’s eyes.

The less people... the better!

It would be best if all those Xiantian powerhouses did not follow!

But they were clear that this was an impossible fantasy.

Amongst the Xiantian powerhouses were some of their seniors in their sects, they would not want such an achievement to be taken away from them either!

In order to prevent any unexpected surprises from occurring, they looked at each other and instantly understood each other’s intentions.

To them, subduing Song Hong would be half the job done!

Chu Yu looked at the people in front of him and laughed coldly, "Did it never occur to you that I lured you all here on purpose so that I can kill all of you in one shot?"

Limitless - Chapter 72: Elder Yue

Old Yellow could not help but exhale a breath of cold air, thinking in its heart: Are you trying to find a flowery way to kill yourself?

Usually, when people want to train their combat abilities, they would exchange pointers with others, or challenge an expert that they were familiar with. At the most, they would enter Jianghu to temper themselves. However, those that dared to do that were the Heaven’s Prides.

Only when they had no other options left and were forced to the edge, would they brace themselves to fight to the death.

However, this b*stard was really good, taking the initiative to engage in a death match with a group of experts.

Moreover, there was even the slight possibility that he might encounter a true Xiantian powerhouse!

If this wasn’t a flowery to kill himself, then what was it?

The old weasel found it extremely hard to understand Chu Yu’s thoughts; it even thought that he had gone mad.

Thus, Old Yellow stammered and mumbled, "How bout… I make a move first?"

"You dare!" Chu Yu glanced at it, "Later, I still need you to poison them with your farts!"

"..." Old Yellow rolled its eyes, thinking: You think that I can just fart as and when I like? Don’t I need to accumulate it first? And, that’s not called a fart, that’s a legit attack!

However, it did not show any dissent; this fella changed colours as easily as he changes clothes.

He’s a plus-sized b*stard that starts attacking the moment he didn’t agree with you!

Chu Yu and Old Yellow soon reached the outside of the City.

At the same time, many people in Dragon City had received the news that he’s leaving the city.

"Song Hong is running"

"Chase after him!"

"Now that we’re not in Dragon City, it would be so much better!"

"There’s no where he can escape off to outside!"

"This time, the Crane Saint’s legacy will be ours!"

The crowds started to surge with emotion.

At ths moment, Xue Ran was in a secret discussion with Elder Yue.

Elder Yue looked like she was only 30 over years old; she was an elegant and graceful beauty.

However, no one seemed to know her actual age.

A woman’s age was naturally a secret.

Much less could be said for a Xiantian cultivator like Elder Yue. Exactly how long did she live for, in the entire Rainfall, very few people knew the answer to that question.

Elder Yue looked very beautiful; she belonged to the intellectual beauty category. Dressed in an elegant Qipao, seated quietly, she did not reveal even a half bit of qi energy.

If one didn’t know, he might even think that this was an ordinary, mortal beauty.

"You’re saying, that Song Hong was very proud? He’s willing to be surrounded by his enemies, rather than work with us?" Elder Yue’s voice was very gentle, not even a hint of anger could be heard.

"Yes, I originally thought that by forcing pressure on him, he would be extremely flustered. However, I didn’t expect that he did not seem to even care." When Xue Ran explained this to Elder Yue, she seemed a little vexed.

"Not caring, is just a facade. Naturally, he wouldn’t casually leave his emotions on his face," Elder Yue laughed slightly. "He doesn’t want to work with us, is because he had yet to see our true power."

"En, that’s why I want to request Elder Yue to act, to let him have a glimpse of our power!" Xue Ran said exxpectantly.

She was indeed anticipating her Elder Yue to act; this was a Xiantian powerhouse, a true cultivator, a holder of sacred arts!

"No hurry, wait till he is at the end of the road, we can act then. By then, he wouldn’t even have a choice on whether he wants to cooperate or not." Elder Yue laughed slightly. "Moreover, I’m not the only Xiantian that has come this time. Many people are still observing behind the scenes."

At this moment, Xue Ran received a message on her phone. After a quick glimpse, she uttered, "Song Hong is leaving the city!"

"En, I got it. Don’t worry, he’s not going to escape." Elder Yue maintained her slight smile, with a look of calmness on her face.

Even though Xue Ran was a little anxious, when she saw Elder Yue’s composed expression, she also calmed down, her pounding heart also gradually slowed down.

Then, Elder Yue glanced at her and said, "Xiao Xue, your talent is excellent, and you are also incredibly intelligent. However, you seem to be rather reckless with this matter. At the end of the day, you’re still too young ah. Even though you have the talent and intelligence, you’re lacking the experience. You’re still not good enough."

"Elder Yue’s words are true. I will take note of them in the future," Xue Ran lowered her head and spoke softly.

"You don’t understand," Elder Yue said gently and calmly. "In this matter, you look like you’re forcing that Song Hong into a corner with no where to hide. However, you forgot, that person is incredibly cunning, and he appears and disappears unpredictably. Moreover, even thought many people were keeping their eyes on him, this matter had yet to be blown up. With your actions, you have exposed this matter to the public. Now, if anyone wants to find trouble with the Chu Clan in the future, they would no longer have an excuse."

"This is equivalent to helping the Chu Clan, but they had yet to thank you.

Elder Yue looked at Xue Ran, "Actually in this matter, the best solution was to continue to concentrate everyone’s eyes on the Chu Clan. This sort of thing, not only should you not have white-washed the Chu Clan, you should have done the opposite, and made everyone think that the Crane Saint’s legacy was with the Chu Clan! Then, we can find our chances to control Song Hong."

Xue Ran startled, then laughed ruefully, "I have never placed the Chu Clan in my plans. I have always thought, that a mere underworld clan…"

Elder Yue nodded, she understoof Xue Ran’s meaning. This was just a mere familiy clan; to help or to destroy it was as simple as a single thought.

The reason for Xue Ran’s actions, was to thoroughly expose Song Hong, forcing him to an end. Thereafter, he would have no choice but to work with thm.

She had this sort of self-confidence, because behind her back, was Elder Yue, a true Xiantian powerhouse!

"Your self-confidence stems from me. At least at the moment, among the Xiantian cultivators that have come to Dragon City, I should be the strongest," Elder Yue said gently.

"You are already half a step into the King Realm…" Xue Ran said softly.

"No matter what realm, there’s no such thing as half a step." Elder Yue laughed, "If you’re there, then you’re not there. Even if it’s merely half a step, you’re still not there!"

As she spoke, she looked at Xue Ran, "You’ve never gone and discern Chu Yu’s temper. How do you know that when he is forced to a corner, he would necessarily work with us? At this moment,if another faction offers to work with him, who would he choose?"

Xue Ran was slightly startled, but she promptly replied, "But, will there be another faction that will be like us? To not want to kill him, but to bring him along with the legacy back?"

Rainfall, not only wanted to obtain the Crane Saint’s legacy, they were more interested in Song Hong!

A saint’s legacy, thought they were each unique and powerful, what they needed more was this sort of heaven defying talent.

Moreover, the Crane Saint’s legacy, could not be cultivated by many people!

Also, not just anyone who obtained a saint’s legacy would be able to reach a higher realm. More importantly, they wanted to control Song Hong. To Rainfall, talent was worth more than the legacy!

This was Xue Ran’s true purpose!

However, now that Elder Yue mentioned it, she instantly felt that there were many holes in her plan.

She had spoiled Song Hong’s business; Song Hong must definitely have formed a bad opinion of her.

Even if she didn’t say it, others would eventually find out that Chu Yu and Chu Clan were merely a smokescreen set off by Song Hong. If she didn’t say it, at least no one would think of it for now.

But now that she had said it, Song Hong must hate her desperately. At this point, if a third party…

Elder Yue laughed, "There’s one more point. You forgot the power behind Song Hong. This is actually the main reason why I don’t want to kill him!"

She looked at Xue Ran, "Because no one, is willing to offend… a huge, unknown being!"

On Xue Ran’s forehead, was a thin later of sweat. She looked at Elder Yue in slight panic, "I…"

"No worries child. When people are young, when haven’t they done something foolish? There’s no need to worry, everything… is still within our control!" Elder Yue smiled faintly.

Thereafter, she stood up, "Come, time to stretch our bodies. Later, I will be meeting some old friends!"



Old Yellow trembled as it looked at Chu Yu, "Brother Yellow feels that something dangerous is coming…"

Chu Yu remained expressionless, looking just like he was bringing his dog out for a casual stroll. Dragon City, behind him, got further and further away.

"I said…"

Old Yellow was about to say something when suddenly it’s body jerked forcefully.

With a ‘Bang", an attack had landed just where Old Yellow just was. A huge hole appeared on the hard ground.

Old Yellow looked around for Chu Yu in panic, but soon discovered that this b*stard had long floated off to the side.

Yes, float.

The action looked incredibly graceful, as though he was without fear.

A shadow directly pounced at Chu Yu, as it said solemnly, "Hand over the Crane Saint’s legacy, or die!"

The energy fluctuations around this person was rich and strong, bringing with it an oppressive force.

Advanced Invigorated Meridian Realm!

This was a true expert.

After finding Chu Yu, he did not have any hint of hesitation as he directly struck out.

Now, everyone knew that Song Hong had the Crane Saint’s legacy on him. And he knew clearly, there were too many people with their eyes on Song Hong!

No one knew who would emerge victorious in a chaotic struggle.

Everyone didn’t want to be a "cockroach", they were more interested in being the sparrow.

Thus, he could not hold it in any further!

Thus, Duan Hong, an Invigorated Meridian Stage 8 martial artist from Four Waters School, was the first to attack!

Duan Hong had already been very careful. In his attack, he had purposely concealed his power to sneak an attack on Chu Yu.

In instant he attacked, he was even filled with confidence!

A sneak attack from an expert at Invigorated Meridian Stage 8, as long as his opponent wasn’t a Xiantian cultivator, theres a 80 to 90% chance that he would hit.

He never expected that this b*stard would be so sensitive, to actually dodge his attack.

As he looked at the woundless "Song Hong", Duan Hong was angered, and at the same time, shocked.

This fella… seems, very strong!

"After half a day, why is there only one of you who could not hold it in? From the looks of it, your patience… is very limited ah." Chu Yu looked at Duan Hong with a face of calm. "Look at the others, they are like rabbits hiding in a bush, how clever?"

At one go, he scolded a group of people. Immediately, one person couldn’t hold it in any further, jumping out and pointing at Chu yu.

"Song Hong, who are you calling a rabbit?"

The person speaking was a big and burly man with bronze coloured skin. As he stood there, he looked like a iron tower. He looked at Chu Yu in fury.

"You see, this big rabbit has a bad temper. He couldn’t become a steady turle, so he took the initiative to jump out?" Chu Yu’s lips twithced, as he charged towards Duan Hong.

"I’m going to kill you!" This iron tower-like, big man lifted his fist, it seemed to have the pressure of Mount Tai as it headed towards Chu Yu’s brains.

Peng!

A thunderous roar sounded.

This attack, was fast and vicious!

The sound was astounding!

Suddenly, a sneer suddenly emerged on Chu Yu’s face.

This time, he did not dodge, but faced it head on!

Lifting his fist, he punched towards the big man’s fist!

In the big man’s eyes, a hint of ferocity flashed. He seemed to imagine the scene of Song Hong’s entire arm being destroyed by him!

Boom!

The two fists clashed violently.

This was a pure competition of strength, no skills were involved!

Kacha!

The big man’s fingers… shattered.

His entire fist, was fractured by Chu Yu’s fist.

Thereafter, Chu Yu kicked this big man right in the abdomen, sending him flying like a soccer ball.

Duan Hong’s entire body was rooted in shock. That big man, was an expert one stage stronger than him, an expert at Invigorated Meridian Stage 9!

At this instant, Chu Yu charged straight at Duan Hong.

"F*ck off!"

Chu Yu shoited loudly.

Thereafter, Duan Hong f*cked off.

He was kicked right in the waist, whizzing off.

In mid air, he even coughed out a mouth full of fresh blood.

An expert in Invigorated Meridian Stage 8, when placed in front of a Great Circle of Acupoint Charging Chu Yu, had no means of resistance!
