Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1200: The Best Proof

Chapter 1200: The Best Proof

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “There is no need to be so nervous. I understand your situation. If I were you, I would have such thoughts as well. Furthermore, the Clan Head made the right decision.”

“What proof do you have?” By now, the Su Clan’s Clan Head already half believed him.

This was because some of the things that Xiao Chen said was not mentioned in the great hall. For him to be able to state it clearly, it should be correct. However, the Su Clan’s Clan Head still needed proof. Words were empty.

“With me around, is there any need for proof?”

Ao Jiao’s anger had not dissipated yet when she flew out of the Immortal Spirit Ring with an upset expression.

Seeing Ao Jiao’s appearance, the Su Clan’s Clan Head, who had been calm all the while, finally changed his expression. Then, he took out a painting from his spatial ring and compared it.

“That’s right. The ancestor said that you are the best proof. I just needed to see you.” The Su Clan’s Clan Head put away the painting. Then, he waved his hand and said, “You all can withdraw first. I need to chat with this little brother alone.”

However, the eyes of these people gleamed with the unwillingness to leave.

“Withdraw!” the Su Clan’s Clan Head shouted coldly, unable to control the expression on his face.

“Plop!”

Suddenly, an elder knelt and said, “Little Brother, since you are the inheritor of this esteemed expert, you must be an outstanding talent of this great age. When you obtain the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance, please help our Su Clan out.

“Please help our Su Clan. These past years have been very difficult. The people from the Wang Clan have driven us into a miserable state.”

Xiao Chen reached out and pulled the person who knelt back up with some force.

“Your Su Clan has guarded the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance for more than five thousand years. Since I am here already, I naturally will do what I can to help.” Xiao Chen had his standards. Before he arrived, he already made up his mind to do what he could to help the Su Clan.

There was only one half-step Martial Emperor in the Wang Clan. To Xiao Chen, defeating him was not impossible.

However, killing this person was not quite worth exposing all his trump cards. The best result was for the other party to back off after realizing the difficulty, for them to leave the Su Clan a place to establish themselves and not force them into dire straits by snatching their resource islands.

Doing this would already be sufficient to repay this favor. After all, it was the Su Clan’s ancestor who owed the Thunder Emperor first back then. So, by rights, Xiao Chen did not owe them anything.

“Young Master, many thanks.”

After getting Xiao Chen’s promise, the elders revealed expressions of joy and left one after another.

However, the Su Clan’s Clan Head did not show much joy when Xiao Chen agreed so straightforwardly. Instead, his eyes betrayed some worry.

“Lord Clan Head, what’s wrong? Do you think that I am boasting?”

The Su Clan’s Clan Head recovered his wits and replied, “I do not dare to. Although I am not very strong, I still have good eyes. Given Young Master’s strength, regular Consummation quasi-Emperors should not be a match for Young Master.

“However, the Wang Clan is a clan with a half-step Martial Emperor after all. Even if Young Master obtains the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance, your strength will not soar that greatly over a short period of time. My brothers’ way of thinking is too simple.”

Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. The Clan Head of this Su Clan was indeed rather smart and had good eyes. No wonder after the Martial Emperor Su He died, the Clan Head could still maintain the Su Clan for five hundred years.

However, as of now, even without going into the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance, he would not fear any quasi-Emperor and could achieve a draw at the very least.

If Xiao Chen used his Solar Plume Feather, he could kill this half-step Martial Emperor easily.

Ao Jiao, who was beside Xiao Chen, answered for him, “Lord Clan Head is indeed sensitive to the finest detail. However, there is no need for you to overthink this. Xiao Chen naturally has his ways of dealing with this. Just pass me the key, and I will bring him over tomorrow.”

The Su Clan’s Clan Head laughed for a while but did not say anything in the end. Then, he handed the key to Ao Jiao.

Xiao Chen’s anxious heart finally calmed down. Although there were some surprises and setbacks, he managed to resolve this Thunder Emperor’s inheritance smoothly.

Xiao Chen was not too interested in the other things that the Thunder Emperor left behind. After all, the Thunder Emperor used swords while Xiao Chen used sabers. The number of items useful for him would be limited.

However, he needed to obtain the completely extinct Death Fruit at all costs.

During the trip to the Eight Star dragon grave, Xiao Chen got to thoroughly feel the insignificance of his strength. Now, he felt an extreme urgency to advance to Martial Emperor.

The most realistic hurdle for Xiao Chen right now was Consummation quasi-Emperor. He needed to clear this stage as soon as possible.

Xiao Chen set a time limit of two months for himself. Within two months, he needed to condense a Heart of an Emperor, reaching Consummation quasi-Emperor.

The night was as cool as water.

The Su Clan’s Clan Head arranged a large and quiet residence for Xiao Chen within the City Lord’s Residence.

Inside the quiet courtyard, Xiao Chen did not go to sleep. Instead, he closed his eyes and focused on the Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique that he obtained, Thousand Year Hegemony Establishment.

After more than a month of reading and trying to understand it, Xiao Chen had gained some comprehension of this Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique. Now, he was confident enough to execute it.

Thousand Year Hegemony Establishment. Ignoring its highest state, which was connected to the mysteries of time—something too distant for Xiao Chen—just based on the words, this was a Saber Technique that was extremely domineering. The word “hegemony” referred to the dominance of a king.

If Xuanyuan Zhantian, who cultivated the state of kingship, tried to learn this move, he should be able to do so with less effort and greater effect.

Although Xiao Chen did not comprehend the state of kingship, his kingly dominance did not lose out to those who did.

Be it the Sky Dome Realm’s Five Nation Youth Competition, where Xiao Chen reached the peak and became the bearer of the Sky Dome Realm’s Luck—a King Grade True Dragon—or the startling battles with the various outstanding talents after arriving at the Kunlun Realm, he gained victory in every one of them.

Xiao Chen successfully swept through the entire younger generation of the Kunlun Continent. Then, he defeated the various outstanding talents of the Heavenly Starry Ocean with one move each. Along the way, he accumulated a strong aura and the incomparable domineering air of a king.

If not for Xiao Chen’s strong aura and intangible domineering air of a king, he would not have been able to make all the Su Clan elders submit with just his peak Great Perfection quasi-Emperor cultivation.

After a long time, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. This pair of eyes shone with a dazzling light in the dark night. If anyone saw it, they would find it even more dazzling than the sun.

In this instant, Xiao Chen’s body emanated a boundless domineering air. The moment he opened his eyes, the strong domineering air of a king made the dark night submit.

Spirit, Qi, and mind were all present. Xiao Chen followed his feelings and hacked with his saber, executing the Thousand Year Hegemony Establishment, which overshadowed this boundless dark night.

For this one night, Xiao Chen kept executing this Thousand Year Hegemony Establishment. Of course, he did not use that much Law Energy.

Otherwise, there would be too big a commotion—one so big that the strong experts of the entire island would able to feel it.

The reason was none other than the domineering air of kingship that this move released being overly unyielding and vigorous. It gave the impression of a king arriving, the sovereign of the night.

Even though Xiao Chen already suppressed the might of this move to the best of his abilities, the strongest person in the City Lord’s Residence, the Su Clan’s Clan Head clearly felt it.

“What exactly is the background of this person? He is already so strong at such a young age, strong enough to rival the top ten outstanding talents of the Human-Demon Sea.

“That’s not right. In terms of talent, the top ten outstanding talents of the Human-Demon Sea are not comparable to this white-clad youth. The youngest of the top ten outstanding talents is at least forty-odd years old. However, Xiao Chen looks to be thirty at most.

“Such a person will bring the Su Clan either glory or destruction.

“I hope that it is the former.” Shaking his head, the Su Clan’s Clan Head stopped trying to sense the situation on Xiao Chen’s side and entered his room to sleep. However, he was fated to have difficulty sleeping tonight.

When the sky turned bright as it welcomed the rising sun, the eastern sky looked purple from the morning mist covering the sky. This sight made one feel like their vitality would surge forever.

Xiao Chen returned his saber to its sheath. After going without sleep throughout the entire night, he circulated his energy and had to spit out some turbid Qi before his spirits felt rejuvenated.

The Thunder Emperor’s inheritance lay within an unremarkable mountain range. The key was already in Ao Jiao’s hands. She also knew the location, so there was no need to trouble the Su Clan’s Clan Head.

Xiao Chen could travel alone. After he washed up, he prepared to depart.

“Young Master Xiao, there is a major problem. The Wang Clan’s Supreme Elder forced his way over and demanded to see you.”

Just at this moment, a manservant of the Su Clan ran over to Xiao Chen’s courtyard in a fluster, speaking in a panic.

Was information leaked?

The Wang Clan had definitely placed spies in the vast City Lord’s Residence. Xiao Chen had not tried to hide his presence in the City Lord’s Residence, either. Thus, it was not strange that the Wang Clan’s people found him.

However, it seemed like the Wang Clan was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Xiao Chen only injured two Great Perfection quasi-Emperors of the Wang Clan and did not kill them. Perhaps that was just an excuse.

“The Clan Head says to hide first and not go out for now. They will help stall him,” the manservant said with some terror in his voice.

Xiao Chen noticed this and wondered why this Su Clan was so frightened of the Wang Clan. Just one person came, and the manservant got this scared.

“There is no need. I’ll go over and take a look.”

“Don’t. The Clan Head specially instructed that you should not go over,” the manservant cried out in shock. However, how could he stop Xiao Chen if Xiao Chen wanted to go over?

Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and leaped around a few times. Then, he arrived on top of a tall building within the City Lord’s Residence, able to see beyond the city.

Outside the gates, only one person from the Wang Clan had come. This person had purple hair, scarlet eyes, and was a Consummation quasi-Emperor.

However, this arrival startled the entire upper echelon of the Su Clan. The Clan Head led a few quasi-Emperors, who looked very nervous but maintained a tight formation.

“Old Brother Su, are you really going to resist me to the end? That person even injured my Wang Clan’s people, and you dare to hide him? Do you really no longer want to remain on Scorching Flame Island?”

Wang Feng looked coldly at the group of people, speaking in an indifferent tone.

The Su Clan’s Clan Head said calmly, “I think you must be mistaken. The person you are looking for is not in the City Lord’s Residence.”

“Still pretending? Haha! I advise you to hand over that person. Otherwise, if I have to grab him myself—”

“You will what? Kill the entire Su Clan?”

This person from the Wang Clan was just a Consummation quasi-Emperor, and yet he was so arrogant. Xiao Chen could no longer keep watching, so he leaped down and interrupted the other party.

“Young Master Xiao, why did you come out yourself?” the Su Clan’s Clan Head asked with some horror.

Wang Feng looked at Xiao Chen, who jumped out on his own. Xiao Chen’s white clothes, delicate face, and the boundless saber intent in the depths of his eyes matched the description provided by the two injured old men exactly.

“You are really brave, Old Brother Su. What else do you have to say for yourselves? Are you going to scram out of Scorching Flame Island yourselves this time, or should I make a move to chase you out?”

The expressions of the Su Clan elders all changed drastically, appearing enraged.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “You seem to be unclear of your own situation. I should be the one saying that. Are you going to scram on your own, or should I make a move to chase you away?”
