Chapter 318: The Sky Emperor Palace and First City Publicly Apologized, That Madman Has Finally Left
The First Prefect was eventually forced to accept Chu Kuangren’s terms. Upon seeing that, the other Sages looked at each other with fear.
‘Damn, even a Great Sage was made to agree with him. Chu Kuangren is just too terrifying!’
“And the Sky Emperor Palace too!”
Chu Kuangren looked at the Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang and told him.
The Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang gritted his teeth at those words. “Alright.”
Even he had no choice but to do so.
After all, he could not defeat Chu Kuangren. In the event where the latter really did go to the Sky Emperor Palace to kick up a fuss, none of the Sages would be a match for him.
At that thought, Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang felt an uncontrollable sense of sorrow.
Everyone had underestimated Chu Kuangren.
Who could expect Chu Kuangren to be so powerful that six Sages could not hold him back?
Even with the appearance of Great Sage, they still had to give in to his demands.
The cultivators of the First City had witnessed this scene as well. Everyone could not help but feel overwhelmed with emotions as they looked at the white figure that was hovering in the air.
It was he who had caused such a ruckus in the first place, but everyone else was forced to give in and surrender!
On top of that, he even made the First City and Sky Emperor Palace apologize publicly…
How many people in this world could achieve something like this?
“This person is second to none, second to none!”
In an inn, the divine predictor could not help but exclaim.
He then looked towards the distance and murmured, “With such an existence, I bet the ones from the unknown lands must be very troubled as well. Hm… judging by the time, I suppose it’s about time that they sent their disciples into the world now.”
High up in the air.
Chu Kuangren had single-handedly forced the Sky Emperor Palace and First City to give in to his demands.
He then kept his guqin and sword case before he swept his spiritual thoughts across the First City. It did not take him long to find Lan Yu, Nangong Huang, and the others.
He turned into a stream of light and came before them.
“Are you alright, Sect Leader?”
Everyone hurriedly went to greet him.
“What could possibly happen to me?” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Sect Leader, there’s actually no need for you to do this because of…”
Nangong Huang still had something to say.
However, Chu Kuangren immediately slapped him across the head and interrupted him. “There’s no need to say more. I didn’t do it just for you guys, but also for the entire Black Heaven Sect and myself as well.”
“I wouldn’t be able to live with it if I didn’t take action just now.”
At that, everyone looked at each other.
All of them knew that Chu Kuangren did not want them to worry about it, but how could they possibly not worry about something like that?
They were so touched, but they buried that feeling deep within and swore to devote themselves to the Black Heaven Sect. They were willing to go through the gates of hell for Chu Kuangren with no regrets!
Although the championship had ended, Chu Kuangren and the others did not leave immediately.
Instead, they continued their stay at the Four Seas Inn.
On the second day.
A notice was displayed at the First City’s central square.
On it was details of the Sky Emperor Palace colluding with the First City against the Black Heaven Sect and both of their official seals.
The Sky Emperor Palace and First City had publicly apologized!
Numerous people gathered at the central square and could not help but feel astonished at the posted notice. It was quite unbelievable.
Two of the most top-notched sage orthodoxies had publicly declared their apology to another orthodoxy in a manner that was never heard of.
No, even the other sage orthodoxies had never done something like that, let alone two of the most top-notched ones among them.
This was unprecedented.
“Tsk, I guess the Sky Emperor Palace’s and First City’s reputations have gone into the gutters now.”
“The fact that something like this happened behind the scenes of the championship is just so shameless! What’s more shocking is that the Black Heaven Sect still won the championship despite being targeted!”
“That’s right, it’s really incredible that they managed to do so.”
“No wonder Chu Kuangren would fight so many Sages and even ripped apart a few floating islands. Turns out it was all because of this.”
One notice stirred a large commotion within the city.
Everyone in the city was talking about it in every street and alleyway. Moreover, since the news of two orthodoxies colluding to cheat in the competition and forced to publicly apologize soon spread throughout the whole Firmament Star, every orthodoxy eventually learned of what happened.
However, compared to that fact, they were even more taken aback by…
Chu Kuangren’s capability of holding his own against a Great Sage!
All of a sudden, Chu Kuangren’s name had struck every orthodoxy with immense fear, and the Sages which formed their backbone did not dare to mess with him either.
Chu Kuangren had seemingly made himself invincible in the world.
The Four Seas Inn was crowded with people.
At that time, it was due to the arrival of two figures.
They were the Thirteenth Prefect and the Sky Emperor Palace Lord, who were each reputable figures no matter where they went.
However, the two of them were now standing before a young man, looking extremely cautious and fearful to display any kind of disrespect or impudence before him.
The young man was wearing a long-sleeved white robe and possessed not just an otherworldly temperament, but also an extraordinary poise. Many female cultivators present were dazzled by him.
“Sect Leader Chu, here’s a token of apology from the First City. I hope you’ll accept it,” the Thirteenth Prefect said as he took out a Yin and Yang ring. They were there to apologize for cheating during the Championship.
Standing beside him, the Sky Emperor Palace Lord took out a Yin and Yang ring and handed it over as well.
Although he felt extremely dissatisfied, he could not do anything about it.
His opponent’s strength was just there before him.
Who would dare to voice out their dissatisfaction?
Chu Kuangren accepted the two Yin and Yang rings and replied, “The ones you should be apologizing to is not me, but the people who took part during the competition instead.”
Both the Thirteenth Prefect and Sky Emperor Palace Lord looked at each other.
They took a deep breath and faced Nangong Huang and the others. Then, both of them walked towards the group before they bowed down and apologized.
“As the cause of the unfair treatment that you guys had received during the competition, please accept my most sincere apologies. I hope you guys can forgive me for what I did.”
“Same goes for me, I’m terribly sorry as well.”
Nangong Huang and the others had never experienced such a thing before. A dignified, high, and mighty Honorable Supreme and Sect Leader bowed and apologized to them?
No one would believe it if word of this were to spread.
It was just too shocking.
“Alright, this matter’s settled. But remember to return and inform your Sages that I’ll be paying Sky Emperor Palace a visit in the next few days.”
Chu Kuangren reminded the Sky Emperor Palace Lord.
The Sky Emperor Palace Lord was immediately scared to death.
“Sect Leader Chu, are you still thinking of wiping us out?”
“What do you mean wipe you out?”
Chu Kuangren was also taken aback.
He was just going to pay them a visit, so where did the ‘wipe everyone out’ part come from?
“If that’s the case Sect Leader Chu, why do you want to come to my Sky Emperor Palace?”
“Why, is the Sky Emperor Palace going back on their word? Didn’t we agree that I can look through all your cultivation techniques? If I don’t visit, will you guys bring everything over to my place instead?” Chu Kuangren asked.
Only then did the Sky Emperor Palace Lord suddenly realized.
‘So that’s why.’
Then again, it was not his fault for overthinking things.
After all, the few orthodoxies that Chu Kuangren had visited in the past did not end well. Whatever happened to the Murong clan and the Shang clan was still fresh in his mind.
Besides, the Sky Emperor Palace had offended Chu Kuangren too.
So now that Chu Kuangren said he was going to pay them a visit, who could handle that?
Although the Sky Emperor Palace Lord was unwilling to open all their cultivation techniques to Chu Kuangren, it was still acceptable compared to him tearing apart the Sky Emperor Palace and causing chaos.
“I’ll inform the Sages when I return,” the Sky Emperor Palace Lord replied.
“Alright, then that’s settled for now. Lan Yu, please send them off.”
Chu Kuangren said.
After Lan Yu sent off both of them, she came back and asked, “Master, when do you plan to visit the Sky Emperor Palace?”
“Two days later I suppose. I remember that the Sky Emperor Palace is quite near the First City, so we’ll go there first before returning to the Black Heaven Sect.”
Two days later, Chu Kuangren took out the Illusive Mirage and left the First City, heading out to the Sky Emperor Palace with Nangong Huang and the others.
The Prefects of the First City breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Illusive Mirage leaving them from afar. ‘We’ve finally sent that madman away.’
