Nine Realms Sword Emperor
Chapter 634 - 635: Settling the Dust

Chapter 634: Chapter 635: Settling the Dust

Lu Qianren left behind these words, and his body suddenly moved, directly grabbing Lu Que and Lu Hua, and they transformed into a beam of light, fleeing the scene.

A long time afterward, that voice finally began to dissipate.

The countless onlookers present could all clearly perceive the rage in Lu Qianren’s words.

Chu Fengmian and the Lu family had become mortal enemies, determined to fight to the death.

"Let’s go, follow me."

After the dust settled, Xing Xuan Saint glanced once and spoke to Chu Fengmian.

He then led Chu Fengmian, Han Yueli, and Bai Xuan away without delay.

On their journey, Chu Fengmian and the group followed Xing Xuan Saint, flying all the way to a deep mountain within the sacred realm of Beimang.

This mountain peak was shrouded in hidden protections that were completely undetectable from the outside, and they could only be opened using special seals.

The spiritual energy of this mountain was far denser than anywhere else in the sacred realm of Beimang, and much of it even contained a very ancient power.

It was spiritual energy from the ancient times, imbued with some of the laws from that era.

During the ancient times, there were many powerful beings, and it was the ancient laws that allowed the creation of so many mighties, laws which were far stronger than those of the present.

That’s why there were so many mighties; present-day mighties who wished to advance further also needed to seek out and comprehend the ancient laws of ancient times.

"The spiritual energy here contains a hint of the ancient breath, which will be of great use to you in comprehending the laws. You can start your cultivation here."

Xing Xuan Saint told this to Han Yueli and Bai Xuan before turning his head to address Chu Fengmian.

"Come with me, disciple."

"Yes."

Chu Fengmian followed Xing Xuan Saint and finally arrived at a palace, where they both took their seats.

"I never expected that meeting you back then at Wusheng Academy, in such a remote place, you would have grown this much."

Xing Xuan Saint, seated upon a throne, looked at Chu Fengmian, his tone filled with a mix of surprise and nostalgia.

Back then, the boy who had just entered Wusheng Academy, with a bit of talent, had now grown so much.

Chu Fengmian, now apart from Beimang Academy, was powerful enough to be considered a hegemon in the northern domain.

Chu Fengmian, hearing Xing Xuan Saint’s words, spoke respectfully.

"I owe much to Master’s nurturing."

"Nurturing, I hardly did anything of the sort."

Xing Xuan Saint responded with a smile.

"In order to overcome tribulations, I went to the remote country of Wusheng to refine my heart, yet unexpectedly, I met you. I casually took you as my disciple and left in a hurry. I never imagined you would actually come to Beimang Academy and reach this level."

"No, without Master, back at Wusheng Academy, I would have died at the hands of Zhi Lingtian."

Chu Fengmian said, his admiration for Xing Xuan Saint in front of him remaining profound.

Though Xing Xuan Saint hadn’t directly nurtured him much, it was Xing Xuan Saint who saved Chu Fengmian when Zhi Lingtian sought to kill him.

One could say that if it hadn’t been for Xing Xuan Saint, Chu Fengmian might have perished long ago and would never have encountered the subsequent fortuitous adventures.

This debt of gratitude, Chu Fengmian would never forget.

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Xing Xuan Saint smiled.

When he saved Chu Fengmian back then, he hadn’t been concerned with the prospect of Chu Fengmian repaying him; after all, Chu Fengmian was seen by Xing Xuan Saint as merely a martial artist with decent potential at that time.

He didn’t want Chu Fengmian to just die in vain, which is why he saved him.

However, now that he heard Chu Fengmian still remembered the kindness from the past, the heart of the Saint of the North was filled with extreme joy; at least Chu Fengmian was not the type to repay kindness with enmity.

His choice to save Chu Fengmian back then was not wrong.

"I heard you obtained the treasure of the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave dwelling?"

The Saint of the North’s eyes suddenly fixed on Chu Fengmian, scrutinizing him, but he only looked at Chu Fengmian and did not use his Spiritual Sense to probe into him.

For the Saint of the North, he disdained to spy on the secrets of his own disciple.

"Indeed, I did obtain the treasure from the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave dwelling and also obtained the dragon race’s treasure, the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword."

Chu Fengmian replied.

Now in the Beimang Holy Domain, the martial techniques he used were mostly dragon martial techniques, specifically to match this identity.

The rapid enhancement of Chu Fengmian’s strength would definitely raise suspicions, especially since there were quite a few people who had seen Chu Fengmian in the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave dwelling.

This news would certainly spread, and hiding it now was pointless; it was better to come out with it and provide a legitimate explanation for Chu Fengmian’s origin.

Compared to the treasure of the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave dwelling, the Battle Dragon Technique that Chu Fengmian possessed was probably the secret that could least afford to be exposed.

This Battle Dragon Technique was a Cultivation Technique that transcended the level of the Nine Domains and was almost impossible to originate from the Nine Domains.

Moreover, there was the secret of Xing Xuan, which was a secret that must never be revealed.

Now with the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave dwelling serving as a smokescreen, it was enough to prevent others from guessing the origins of Chu Fengmian’s dragon martial techniques.

The Saint of the North couldn’t help but sigh and say,

"Very good. Among the six ancient cave dwellings in the Void Sea, the two largest ones are the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave dwelling and the cave dwelling of Ruyi Monarch. Now both of these cave dwellings have been obtained by our Beimang Academy, which is indeed a fortunate event."

Ruyi Monarch?

Hearing this name, Chu Fengmian was also somewhat startled; he didn’t expect that among the six ancient cave dwellings that appeared in the Void Sea, there was also one of Ruyi Monarch.

Ruyi Monarch was also a figure from tens of thousands of years ago, a Loose Cultivator without affiliation to any sect, but he had an Innate Jade Ruyi, which was among the more powerful Spiritual Artifacts of the heavenly grade.

Ruyi Monarch, with his Innate Jade Ruyi, had dominated the Nine Domains for a time; although not as powerful as the Ancient Dragon Emperor, he was still a formidable figure.

Unexpectedly, his cave dwelling had also been obtained, and by someone from the Beimang Academy, no less.

"Who was it?"

Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Having obtained the Ruyi Monarch’s cave dwelling, even an average Martial Artist could rise to great heights.

The Innate Jade Ruyi was also a very troublesome Spiritual Artifact.

With such a person emerging in the Beimang Academy, Chu Fengmian must be vigilant, especially since the one who obtained the Ruyi Monarch’s cave dwelling could not be an ordinary person.

"It was Night Monarch."

The Saint of the North spoke calmly.

"After obtaining the Ruyi Monarch’s cave dwelling, Night Monarch’s strength has greatly increased, and now he is going to face the great trial of life and death."

Night Monarch, it was indeed him.

Hearing this name, Chu Fengmian was not surprised at all, it was as if he had already guessed it.

When the Void Sea cave dwellings had been opened, Chu Fengmian understood that the geniuses of the Beimang Academy would not miss out, it was only that Chu Fengmian had not encountered them in the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave dwelling.

Now it seems that these individuals had indeed all gone, and Night Monarch even obtained the cave dwelling of Ruyi Monarch.
