"So everyone, do you still want this so-called Martial Emperor's legacy?" Chu Jingyue raised his hand, and the three-legged cauldron soared into the sky again, as if ready to suppress and kill everyone.
"Run! Run away!" Everyone screamed in panic. They had thought the Chu family wouldn't dare act against so many people, but who knew they would actually do it! Not only did they dare, but they were so decisive and ruthless!
In just a few breaths, everyone had vanished! Many surrounding martial artists watching felt their hair stand on end - the Chu family was truly vicious! And unexpectedly powerful. Even without their Beast God appearing, they could make Martial Venerable experts perish without any ability to resist.
And what kind of treasure was that cauldron anyway, to possess such terrifying power? Also, had Chu Tianyang also broken through to Martial Venerable?
"The clan's guardian Emperor-tier weapon - Dragon Emperor Cauldron? You can actually wield the power of the Dragon Emperor Cauldron?" Chu Tianyang looked at Chu Jingyue in astonishment. The Beast God had once said that not only did one need Chu family bloodline, but also the ability to mobilize clan fortune to unleash the cauldron's power.
This meant Chu Jingyue had already sensed the clan's fortune and could use it to control the Dragon Emperor Cauldron? Didn't that mean the current Chu Jingyue possessed strength comparable to a Martial Emperor? Thinking this, Chu Tianyang was even more shocked.
"Hehe, I couldn't sleep that night so I got up to study our guardian Emperor-tier weapon. I just wanted to research it casually, but unexpectedly I actually figured it out!" Chu Jingyue chuckled. Now he could even see golden strands of clan fortune continuously gathering around the Dragon Emperor Cauldron, forming a golden python dancing joyfully inside the cauldron.
"Excellent! I wasn't wrong about making you clan leader!" Chu Tianyang stroked his beard. Among all the Chu family elders, Chu Jingyue was the first to sense the existence of clan fortune - truly worthy of his position as clan leader! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novęlfire.net
"Clan leader is amazing!" Chu Hongxiao gave a thumbs up. He had also studied the guardian Emperor-tier weapon many times but gained no insight.
"At full power, it should be able to suppress an ordinary Martial Emperor!" Everyone gasped, looking at their clan leader in disbelief. Had their clan leader become this incredible?
"But there are limitations," Chu Jingyue said. "The farther the guardian weapon is from our family, the weaker its power becomes. So this Emperor-tier weapon was likely forged by the Beast God specifically to protect our family."
Since gaining the ability to see clan fortune, he had been continuously studying the Dragon Emperor Cauldron, uncovering these insights himself. Moreover, clan fortune was profoundly mysterious - through it he could observe the family's current unity, and if the family faced great danger or opportunity, the clan fortune would fluctuate.
Most terrifyingly, he seemed able to use clan fortune for cultivation! Under its influence, his perception of everything became clearer, and breakthroughs came easier. Though this aspect required further research, he believed results would show soon.
"Even so, this is still terrifying! It's equivalent to having a Martial Emperor guarding our family!" Chu Tianyang nodded. No wonder Chu Jingyue disregarded Martial Venerables - he truly could ignore them! He might not even care if a Martial Emperor came.
"Jingyue, have you entered the Heart Refining Pagoda yet?" Chu Tianyang asked.
"Take advantage of my current emergence from seclusion to try it. If you can successfully pass the mental trials, the benefits will exceed your imagination!" He hoped Chu Jingyue could obtain a Physique Evolution Pill to advance his spirit-grade physique to King Body level.
"I was just thinking that!" Chu Jingyue nodded. He had studied many clansmen who passed the pagoda, but most received ordinary rewards - not everyone obtained heaven-defying prizes. Evidence showed this related to the difficulty of one's mental trials - the more terrifying the hardships faced while maintaining unshaken mentality, the better the final reward would be.
In recent months, few in the Chu family had perfectly passed the trials...
The news of the Chu family suppressing three Martial Venerables and hundreds of experts with a mere gesture, along with Chu Tianyang's breakthrough to Martial Venerable, spread like lightning. This even confirmed rumors that the Chu family had obtained the Yunxiao Sect's legacy. But so what? The current Chu family was no longer an entity to be trifled with.
At the Beast Taming Sect, Sect Master Zuo Cangmu reported to the ancestor with a grim expression: "The elder we sent was killed by the Chu family!" Indeed, among the three Martial Venerables causing trouble at the Chu family, one was their sect's elder.
Forcing out the Yunxiao Sect's legacy was one goal, but they also wanted to see if the Chu family's Beast God would easily intervene. They never expected this outcome - being single-handedly suppressed by Chu Jingyue.
Currently, Du Laiyuan's expression was extremely ugly. Not because of the elder's death, but because Hell's Gate hadn't sent any Martial Emperor experts! Instead, they ordered the Beast Taming Sect to eliminate Qingyang City's Chu family in the shortest time possible.
Du Laiyuan held his forehead - if they dared act, they would have done so already! Originally they wanted Hell's Gate's help, but now they were being commanded by them instead! Du Laiyuan felt life was so difficult he just wanted to give up. At worst, the Qian Region would gain a power equal to their sect!
But now it was too late - Hell's Gate's order had arrived. If they didn't comply, the consequences would be dire. "What happened at Hell's Gate? Why are they so slow this time?" Normally, any Martial Emperor beyond their control should be eliminated immediately. Why weren't they sending anyone this time?
"If only their Beast God wouldn't intervene!" That was the truly terrifying existence.
"Ancestor? What's wrong?" Zuo Cangmu asked.
"Nothing. Hell's Gate wants us to eliminate the Chu family. From now on, continuously send people to test the Chu family's limits - we need to determine their Beast God's stance." Du Laiyuan speculated that if the Chu family's Beast God was truly a Demon Emperor-level expert, it wouldn't intervene easily. Even when three Martial Venerables acted, their Beast God hadn't appeared.
Thus Du Laiyuan believed that as long as no Martial Saint experts acted, that Demon Emperor probably wouldn't concern itself with these matters.
"Yes!" Zuo Cangmu nodded and withdrew. After returning, he directly summoned their sect's subordinate forces - using them as cannon fodder would be perfect.
"In that case, our first step is eliminating the Chu family's subordinate forces!" Zuo Cangmu narrowed his eyes. Recently, as the Chu family expanded, their subordinate forces had multiplied. Wherever the Chu family's battle flags were planted became their territory. If this continued, it would inevitably threaten the Beast Taming Sect's dominance in the Qian Region - something that had long displeased Zuo Cangmu.
"What? You want us to eliminate the Chu family's subordinate forces?" The forces summoned to the Beast Taming Sect looked horrified. Was this a joke? The Chu family had a Demon Emperor-level expert guarding them - provoking them meant certain death!
