Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Fight One (11th Update) Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Fight One (11th Update) The Imperial Palace of the Yanhuo Empire.
“Your Majesty, the State Preceptor, Elder Zhao from the Jiuzhou Auction House requests an audience.” A soldier reported respectfully in the main hall.
“Zhao Yuncheng?” Yang Tianxian was surprised.
“The Elder of the Jiuzhou Auction House? He’s a Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner, what is he doing here?” Duan Tian Hun asked with confusion.
Situ Zhentian said, “Let him in.”
Sure enough, not long after, Elder Zhao Yuncheng from the Jiuzhou Auction House entered the main hall.
“I pay my respects to Your Majesty, the State Preceptor, and the Prince.” Zhao Yuncheng greeted them politely.
Zhao Yuncheng held an exceptional position in Jiuzhou, one of its towering figures.
Zhao Yuncheng, a Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner with a cultivation level of the Second Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, held a position in the auction house almost parallel to that of Chairman Chu Changkong.
Given his status and position, he need not have bowed to Duan Tian Hun and the others, but knowing that Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian were disciples of Feng Wuchen, he dared not show disrespect.
“Elder, please take a seat.” Duan Tian Hun invited respectfully. Soone of such stature was not to be trifled with.
“Elder Zhao, may I ask what urgent matter brings you here?” Yang Tianxian asked, knowing that a person of such stature must have co for sothing significant.
“I am here by the order of the Chairman to extend a special invitation to the State Preceptor and the Prince to visit the auction house, and I hope that the State Preceptor and the Prince will honor us with their presence,” Zhao Yuncheng said straightforwardly, his attitude sincere.
“An invitation?” Both Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian were shocked, their faces showing they felt honored by the surprise.
“May I ask what this is about?” Duan Tian Hun asked curiously, as they had never received such treatnt before.
“It’s to discuss matters of alchemy and artifact refining,” Zhao Yuncheng said with a smile.
Yang Tianxian nodded, saying, “If that’s the case, we shall go.”
With an invitation from the Chairman of the Jiuzhou Auction House and Elder Zhao personally extending it, Yang Tianxian was naturally inclined to show courtesy.
“Thank you.” Zhao Yuncheng thanked them with a clasped fist, his heart secretly thrilled.
…
“Cousin Murong, aren’t we heading to the Tai Xu Sect? Why are we going to the Yanhuo Empire?”
On the road, Nangong Jin asked with confusion.
“Waiting for soone,” Murong Tian said quietly.
Nangong Jin nodded without further questions, trusting Murong Tian after many years of acquaintance and their familial ties.
“Whoosh!”
In the high skies, a swiftly moving figure cut through the air, leaving behind a long white trail in the sea of clouds.
“Leng Qingfeng?” Nangong Jin blinked in astonishnt, puzzled, “Has he left his retreat? What is that guy doing heading to the Yanhuo Empire?”
“Need you guess? With Feng Wuchen so powerful, would Leng Qingfeng miss out?” Murong Tian sneered.
Leng Qingfeng, renowned as the number one talent in Jiuzhou, was extrely powerful and a battle maniac; he never missed an opportunity to face a formidable adversary.
“If he sses up our plans, I won’t mind killing him,” a cold voice suddenly interjected. A figure had appeared out of nowhere.
To utter such arrogant words openly showed a complete disregard for Leng Qingfeng, who was considered the top talent.
Not considering Jiuzhou’s top talent a concern—just how audacious was that?
“Who’s there?” Nangong Jin called out sharply, inwardly startled, for with his level of cultivation, he hadn’t sensed anyone approaching.
Nangong Jin, a prodigy of the Nangong family and at the Second Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, was not to be underestimated in terms of strength.
If he couldn’t detect the newcor’s approach, how formidable was the latter’s cultivation?
“Don’t worry, he’s one of us,” Murong Tian said with a light smile.
When Nangong Jin saw who it was, his face instantly turned pale, and he appeared both stunned and incredulous, as if he had been petrified.
“Bei… Beiming Kong?” Nangong Jin stamred, blinking his eyes in disbelief at the sight of Beiming Kong!
Indeed! It was Beiming Kong!
The person Murong Tian was waiting for was actually Beiming Kong!
“Brother Murong, why did you bring him along?” Beiming Kong asked with a frown.
“An extra hand wouldn’t be bad,” Murong Tian replied with a smile, patting Nangong Jin on the shoulder and adding, “Don’t underestimate the strength of my cousin.”
“Beiming Kong, weren’t you killed by Feng Wuchen? What… what is going on here?” Nangong Jin was imnsely shaken, his eyes shifting between Beiming Kong and Murong Tian.
Clearly, Murong Tian had known all along that Beiming Kong was not dead, yet he had never ntioned it.
“Feng Wuchen isn’t capable of killing ,” Beiming Kong declared proudly, his eyes flashing a hint of disdain for Feng Wuchen.
That was the level of confidence Beiming Kong possessed!
“You’re really still alive!” Nangong Jin was overwheld by shock, with tumultuous waves rising in his heart.
News of Beiming Kong’s death had already spread across Jiuzhou.
Yet here he was, having miraculously co back to life!
If this news got out, one can only imagine how strong the reaction from Jiuzhou would be!
“What exactly is going on? Has Beiming Kong deceived everyone? And when did Murong cousin get so close with Beiming Kong?” While Nangong Jin was shocked, he was also extrely puzzled.
Staring blankly at Beiming Kong, Nangong Jin thought to himself, “When did Beiming Kong’s cultivation breakthrough to the Fifth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm? It’s absolutely unbelievable!”
What shocked Nangong Jin even more was that Beiming Kong’s cultivation had actually reached the Fifth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, turning him into a completely different person!
Was this Beiming Kong really the sa Beiming Kong from before?
“Brother Beiming, your strength must have surpassed that of the Beiming ancestor,” Murong Tian guessed.
Beiming Kong replied, “Perhaps.”
“What’s the next step? Should we go find Feng Wuchen directly?” Beiming Kong asked, looking towards Murong Tian.
Murong Tian replied indifferently, “Initially, I wanted to kill Feng Wuchen directly, but this incident in Jiuzhou has made change my mind.”
“Change your mind?” Nangong Jin frowned slightly.
Murong Tian said with a cold laugh, “I’ll return to Tai Xu Sect first. Nangong Jin, you and Brother Beiming go to the Yanhuo Empire, it wouldn’t be bad to watch Leng Qingfeng and Feng Wuchen fight.”
After speaking, Murong Tian disappeared in a flash, and Beiming Kong flew towards the Yanhuo Empire with Nangong Jin.
…
In the Feng family at Wushuang City, Feng Wuchen was treating Feng Zhengxiong.
“Chen Er, how is it? Can he really be fully healed?” Xiao Qingqing asked.
“Mother, don’t worry, father has cultivated the Supre Body, he can definitely be healed. At most three months, no need to wait six months, and after recovering, father’s physique will be even stronger!” Feng Wuchen spoke with a faint smile.
“It’s still Chen Er who’s amazing. I feel like I can even move around now. Three months will pass in the blink of an eye with closed-door cultivation, and it’s just the right ti for to make a breakthrough to the Sixth Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm!” Feng Zhengxiong laughed happily. He completely believed what Feng Wuchen said.
“What a strong aura! Brother Feng, soone is coming!” Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly said, sensing a very strong aura that was moving very fast.
“The aura of the Fifth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm! Who could it be?” Liu Qingyang curiously asked, his brows slightly furrowed.
Feng Wuchen didn’t know who it could be and gravely said, “This aura is almost the sa as the old Beiming ancestor’s, but this person’s strength is probably above the old Beiming ancestor’s.”
“Family Head, there is soone outside asking for an audience, saying they want to et the Third Young Master,” a guard ca in to report.
No sooner had Feng Wuchen and the others sensed this aura than the person had arrived at the Feng family’s residence, which showed the speed of their approach.
Feng Zhengxiong said, “Let him in.”
After the battle between Feng Wuchen and the old Beiming ancestor, everyone was no longer surprised by the strength of Tianyuan Realm experts. If it had been in the past, they would have been shocked.
Soon enough, the guard led in a young man of about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, clad in white brocade, handso with the air of a gentleman, clearly indicating he was soone significant.
The visitor was none other than the young Sect Master of Fenglan Sect, Leng Qingfeng.
“The junior, Leng Qingfeng, pays his respects to the Feng Family Head, elders,” Leng Qingfeng greeted politely without any hint of contempt or hostility.
“Leng Qingfeng?” The people of the Feng family were all confused, not recognizing the young man before them.
“Fenglan Sect of Jiuzhou,” Leng Qingfeng added.
“So it’s the Fenglan Sect,” Feng Wuchen nodded and said, “No wonder the cultivation is so strong.”
“I presu you must be the famous Feng Wuchen whose na shakes Jiuzhou! Brother Feng’s reputation is indeed thunderous throughout Jiuzhou,” Leng Qingfeng said with a light smile, sizing up Feng Wuchen.
“Well hidden,” Leng Qingfeng thought to himself, unable to discern Feng Wuchen’s cultivation level or sense any energy fluctuations.
“So young and already at the Fifth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, that’s really impressive!” Liu Qingyang said with envy.
Observing Leng Qingfeng, Feng Wuchen asked, “May I know what you are here for?”
“I want to have a fight with you,” Leng Qingfeng said very directly, indeed a straightforward person.
“A fight?” Feng Wuchen was slightly startled. Leng Qingfeng had co all this way just to have a fight with him?
Leng Qingfeng smiled and said, “Being able to kill the old Beiming ancestor, your strength must indeed be strong. Such a formidable opponent is not to be missed. Of course, we’ll just fight to determine a winner. Brother Feng, you mustn’t refuse ; otherwise, I would have co here for nothing.”
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be the young Sect Master of the Fenglan Sect, the number one genius of Jiuzhou,” Feng Wuchen said with a light smile, deducing from Leng Qingfeng’s formidable cultivation.
“Young Sect Master?”
“The number one genius of Jiuzhou?”
Feng Zhengxiong and the others were shocked, not expecting Leng Qingfeng to have such an impressive background.
Leng Qingfeng shook his head and said, “There’s no ‘number one genius’. That’s just sothing Jiuzhou has imposed on . There are many geniuses stronger than on the Mainland. Even in Jiuzhou, I may not be the first.”
“Are you talking about the genius of the Nangong family?” Feng Wuchen asked.
Leng Qingfeng nodded and said, “His strength is unfathomably deep. I have never fought with him. He rarely shows himself, pursuing the martial path with all his heart. If I were to fight him, I may not be able to defeat him.”
“You’ve co looking for , so it seems you’re confident you can defeat ,” Feng Wuchen said with a laugh.
“It’s not that I’m confident, but that I’m unafraid to compete with any strong opponent. Winning or losing isn’t important to . What’s important is the battle! Feng Wuchen, co on, fight !” Leng Qingfeng said with a laugh, a surging will to battle emanating from within him.
“For the number one genius of Jiuzhou to hold in such high regard is an honor. Naturally, I cannot let you co here for nothing,” Feng Wuchen replied with a smile. Leng Qingfeng was much to Feng Wuchen’s liking, at least not a villain.
The number one genius of Jiuzhou, with formidable strength, Feng Wuchen was also eager to see what he was capable of.
“Exciting! Just the chance to see for myself the power of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower!” Leng Qingfeng said excitedly, his battle spirit growing ever stronger.
