Chapter 666: Chapter 676: The Recruitment of the Supreme Elder
Han Sheng’s master was none other than Xuanming Supreme Elder, who held an extremely high status within the Sect.
By comparison, the background of Lu Kuixi was much inferior.
When the Sect eventually conducts a thorough investigation, Han Sheng also has great confidence that, relying on his Sect’s background, he will be able to clear himself from any involvement.
"Tomorrow at noon, in the Sect’s seclusion chamber, Supreme Room Number Five," Lu Kuixi didn’t hesitate and agreed immediately. Moreover, he had already considered the location for their secret plot.
It is evident that he was very eager to kill Chu Feng, and the plan had been long in the making.
Now that Han Sheng had invited him to become a partner, they hit it off right away.
Such people, simply wealthy and willful. To conspire against Chu Feng, they even chose to do it within the Supreme Secret Room.
One must know that the Supreme Secret Room isn’t cheap, costing ten thousand silver taels per day.
"Why choose the Supreme Room Number Five?" Han Sheng frowned, being naturally suspicious, he felt somewhat uneasy about the plotting location decided by Lu Kuixi.
"In the entire Sect, only the safety of the Supreme Secret Rooms is the highest, ensuring that no one can eavesdrop. As for choosing Room Number Five, it is because that room is usually unoccupied. If we chose Supreme Room Number One or Two, it would easily attract attention."
Lu Kuixi was meticulous in his thinking. In such a short amount of time, he had taken many subtleties into account.
"Good, let’s not miss the appointment!"
Han Sheng didn’t say much else and agreed on the spot.
...
Just as Chu Feng stepped out of Chuan Gong Hall, he couldn’t help but sneeze twice.
"Who is talking behind my back?"
He had too many enemies. For people to scheme and talk behind his back was normal. Chu Feng didn’t take it too seriously and went straight towards the Gui Xu Secret Realm.
"Chu Feng, wait a moment!"
A hoarse and authoritative voice called from behind.
Chu Feng stopped and turned back to look. Elder Wanfa of the Supreme Elders had caught up to him, and he quickly saluted with a bow.
"Elder Wanfa, do you have any orders for me?" In the presence of a Supreme Elder, Chu Feng did not dare to be careless.
"This is the matter, Elder Zi Xu recommended you to me, suggesting I take you as my disciple. If you agree, I will pick a day to hold the initiation ceremony and officially accept you as my disciple. If you are unwilling, then we can forget I ever mentioned it," said Elder Wanfa in a gentle tone.
Chu Feng’s body shook with excitement, no wonder Elder Zi Xu had been quiet all this while. It turned out he wanted to provide him with a greater future and room for growth.
Although Elder Wanfa spoke lightly, Chu Feng understood that Elder Zi Xu must have exerted a lot of effort.
He must have put in great effort to recommend himself to Elder Wanfa, which is why Elder Wanfa decided to take him as a disciple.
Otherwise, an Outer Disciple, let alone becoming a disciple of a Supreme Elder, would be incredibly fortunate to even be accepted by an Elder of the Inner Sect.
"Disciple Chu Feng is exceedingly willing!"
A blessing had fallen from the sky, such a joyful event had landed on his own head, Chu Feng had absolutely no reason to refuse.
"Very well, I will take care of preparing for the initiation ceremony. Once everything is ready, I will inform you," said Elder Wanfa, who was actually somewhat worried that Chu Feng might refuse.
Because Chu Feng’s talent, was even more monstrous than Si Huang. Initially, several Supreme Elders had extended olive branches to Si Huang, wishing to take her as a disciple. Yet, she rejected them all.
Chu Feng’s agreement to be his disciple also fulfilled one of Zi Xu’s wishes.
...
After bidding farewell to Elder Wanfa, Chu Feng went to the Gui Xu Secret Realm to cultivate, which goes without saying.
Once again entering the Gui Xu Secret Realm, after his previous rampage, no one dared to provoke Chu Feng anymore. Everyone was filled with fear towards him.
Chu Feng always kept a low profile.
As long as no one provoked him, he wouldn’t go out of his way to bully others just because he had nothing better to do.
His sword consciousness body floated out of the Light Cocoon, sitting above his head, focused on comprehending the Transformation Sword Skill and the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.
This time, without anyone attacking or disturbing him, Chu Feng’s efficiency in understanding swordsmanship increased by dozens of times.
After about twenty days of cultivation within, Chu Feng made a breakthrough in his Transformation Sword Skill, advancing to the First Level.
The Heaven and Earth Sword Skill had even directly broken through to the Fifth Level.
The Fourth Level is Light Spirit, the Fifth Level is Deceit Sword Technique.
Cunning, vicious, bizarre. The moves often come unexpectedly, making them difficult for the enemy to defend against. They die without knowing how they were killed.
After Chu Feng executed the Deceit Sword Technique, a faint sword image phantom also manifested.
It was surprisingly a scythe-like half-moon sword image.
At this point, Chu Feng was almost certain that the Sword Soul he would condense in the future must be the Moon Sword Soul.
The moon is also known as Taiyin.
Therefore, once Chu Feng cultivates the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill to the Ninth Level, the Sword Soul he condenses can be called the Taiyin Sword Soul.
"I wonder if others who cultivate the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill will condense a sword image that is the same as mine?" Chu Feng was very curious about this, but unfortunately, it was a closely-guarded secret of others.
Unless the person reveals it themselves, outsiders simply have no way of knowing.
"Qin Shan seems to have only comprehended the Fourth Level of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill. Now that I have reached the Fifth Level, I should have surpassed him. It’s a pity that my cultivation has not yet advanced to the Sword God Realm. Otherwise, I could have fought Qin Shan ahead of time and then rescued Xiao Ying."
Chu Feng’s eyes sparkled, feeling the continuous increase in his strength, his heart was filled with joy and anticipation.
At this rate of progress, it wouldn’t be long before he had absolute confidence in defeating Qin Shan.
"Oh right, I wonder how the preparations with the Supreme Lord of Wanfa Sect are going? If I become Elder Wanfa’s disciple, then I would be brothers with Elder Zi Xu. What would Qin Shan have to call me then? He would have to call me uncle. What will he use to compete with me then?"
A mischievous smile appeared on Chu Feng’s face.
He was very much looking forward to the day when Qin Shan would have to call him uncle.
Speaking of the devil, and he shall appear.
Unexpectedly, just as Chu Feng was thinking of Qin Shan, the Gui Xu Secret Realm opened, and a large group of disciples, including Qin Shan, surged in.
The inside of the Gui Xu Secret Realm is pitch dark, where you cannot see your hand in front of your face.
There’s also the terrifying Powerful Wind, constantly blowing.
With the naked eye, you can’t see anything outside. However, with Divine Sense, you can easily scan and understand the surroundings.
Upon entering the Gui Xu Secret Realm, Qin Shan immediately released his Divine Sense to find Chu Feng’s whereabouts.
Soon, he had locked onto Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, don’t blame this Duke for not warning you. Trouble has arisen in Dan State, and your Senior Brother named Chu Jianlan is hanging by a thread, on the verge of being killed."
Qin Shan transmitted his voice to Chu Feng using Divine Sense, sounding very urgent.
Hearing that Dan State was in trouble, Chu Feng’s heart suddenly sank. Elder brothers are like fathers; his Senior Brother was like a father to him, having raised him.
The last time Chen Dazhong came to seek refuge, he mentioned that Chu Feng’s evil disciple, Ma Quanzi, intended to unify Dan State and become the Emperor of the region.
Given Ma Quanzi’s hatred for him, it was indeed possible he would commit some heinous act.
