Chapter 499: Who Just Tosses An Emperor Weapon Around? Saving The Wu Clan

“Now’s our chance!”

The Sage Rulers noticed the Wu Clan Leader’s condition and hastily retaliated.

Their unbounded spiritual energies unfolded, attacking the Wu Clan Leader with various forms of Sage Techniques from all directions.

The Wu Clan Leader could not react in time and soaked up all the damages. Not even his Sage Ruler’s physique was capable of saving him. The explosion blasted the Wu Clan Leader away while the Divine Emerald Lamp slipped from his hand and into the air. As such, the flame within the lantern dimmed.

The brute and the senior elder immediately went to reach out for it.

Yet, at that moment, a pillar of light descended from above, discharging a dense amount of spatial energy into the realm.

The sudden event caught everyone off guard.

As the pillar of light dissipated, a young, handsome, black-haired youngster in a set of white clothes was standing right in the middle of the battlefield.

Coincidentally, the Divine Emerald Lamp was above his head. Hence, the youngster intuitively grabbed the lantern and curiously assessed the item.

“Oh, this is an Emperor Weapon! Did I stumble into one of the Emperor Road’s Opportunities of Fortune just like that?”

The youngster, who was none other than Chu Kuangren, was exclaiming with awe.

Upon entering the Emperor Road, he was transported to this location by strong spatial energy.

As for the others, they were probably scattered across various locations within the Emperor Road as well. However, Chu Kuangren had stumbled upon an Emperor Weapon just as soon as he arrived…

Chu Kuangren was impressed by his own luck.

Was the Emperor Road filled with so much treasure that people could afford to simply toss an Emperor Weapon around?

“Who are you?”

One of the Sage Rulers who was attacking the Wu clan said cautiously.

They could not help but exercise caution as Chu Kuangren’s unexpected arrival had happened without any warning.

Could he be part of the Wu clan’s reinforcement?!

The Sage Rulers were anything but friendly towards Chu Kuangren.

While Chu Kuangren was being watched closely by others, he was also monitoring his surroundings. Chu Kuangren mobilized his spiritual thought and cast it over a one hundred thousand kilometers radius.

Was this his limit in the Emperor Road?!

Chu Kuangren frowned slightly. “My spiritual thought has been handicapped. It seems that the Emperor Road works differently compared to the outer realm.”

“Hey, answer me.” The Sage Ruler who posed Chu Kuangren the question was furious now. He stared coldly at Chu Kuangren and the Divine Emerald Lamp in his hand. Meanwhile, the Sage Ruler had been secretly amassing his spiritual energies behind his back.

Chu Kuangren recollected his spiritual thought and channeled his attention to his current situation. “It looks like I’ve been roped into some kind of trouble.”

Boom!

At that moment, the Sage Ruler abruptly unleashed his energy.

A powerful explosion of spiritual energy ensued.

“Who cares where you’re from? You’re dying today anyway.”

“For a petty Sage Ruler, you sure lack some decency.”

Chu Kuangren gently lifted his hand and unfolded a ripple of spiritual energy that was far more devastating than those from a Sage Ruler.

As their attacks collided, the Sage Ruler let out a loud wail as his entire limb was crushed into pulps by the overwhelming energy. The remaining momentum sent the Sage Ruler flying like a broken kite before he eventually crashed into the ground.

“What?!”

“What a formidable technique!”

The other clan members were dumbfounded by Chu Kuangren’s performance.

“He has swiftly defeated the Qian Family Head with one technique. Since when did such a strong cultivator appear in the Stone City?!”

“His origin is unknown, and his ability is unprecedented. We must refrain from engaging with him.”

The Wu clan members were disturbed after witnessing Chu Kuangren’s abilities. Some of them were already planning their escape routes.

“Brother, do you mind telling us your names? At the very least, we deserve to know who we’ll be losing to.”

The brute, who was injured by the Divine Emerald Lamp, said.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is this Emperor Weapon seems fated to be in my possession. If any of you dare take it from me, I won’t mind killing a couple of people,” Chu Kuangren said coldly.

Now that an Emperor Weapon was in his hands, Chu Kuangren had no reason to give it away.

The Sage Rulers were so petrified that they could only stare at each other because none of them dared charge forward.

“Do you have any idea who’s looking for this Divine Emerald Lamp?”

“Nope,” Chu Kuangren replied nonchalantly.

“Then, I can only pray you won’t regret your action,” the brute Sage Ruler said and gestured to the other cultivators to leave.

“One day, you’ll pay for what you did today,” the senior elder left his harsh remarks before following the brute away.

The other cultivators were prepared to leave too.

“Hold it right there.”

Chu Kuangren interrupted their departure. He stared at the senior elder and uttered calmly, “You, did you just threaten me?”

“I was just telling the truth.”

“In that case, then stay here and be my guest,” Chu Kuangren said. He gently lifted his hand and mobilized his mind power.

Lines of runes manifested around the senior elder and intertwined to unleash an array of colorful lights.

Then, an earth-shattering amount of energy erupted one after another.

The senior elder was blown up so badly that nothing was left of him at the end.

The cultivators could only gulp in fear upon witnessing that scene.

First, Chu Kuangren had used his spiritual energy to defeat a Sage Ruler. Then, Chu Kuangren had used his runic powers to obliterate the senior elder, who was by no means weaker than a Sage Ruler!

To them, this sheer power was mind-numbing.

“I don’t think even a top-notch Sage Ruler will have the same amount of power as this person does. Could he be a Boundary Emperor?”

They thought to themselves.

“Let’s go.”

The brute stared fearfully at Chu Kuangren. He did not have the courage to make Chu Kuangren his enemy.

He led the survivors out of the Wu clan’s territory.

Once the cultivators left, the Wu clan members could only stare blankly at Chu Kuangren. None of them dared to strike a conversation with him, not even when Chu Kuangren was toying around with the Wu clan’s ancestral treasure, the Divine Emerald Lamp.

As Chu Kuangren casually toyed around with the lantern, he asked, “Now that I’ve helped you kill the traitor and scare off your enemies, don’t you have anything to say?”

He had previously investigated the situation using his Eye of Revelation.

The elder that he killed was the Wu clan’s senior elder, yet he went head-to-head with the rest of the Wu clan. It was obvious that he was the traitor.

It was also the reason why Chu Kuangren decided to kill him. The senior elder’s threat was only part of the equation.

The Wu Clan Leader immediately dragged his injured body before Chu Kuangren and said, “T-Thank you, Brother… for your assistance.”

The Wu Clan Leader was still spitting blood as he spoke. His aura was much weakened than ever, as if he could perish at any moment. It made the Wu clan members gravely worried about his condition.

In face of such unprecedented turmoil, the Wu clan could not afford to lose the leader. The lack of leadership at such a crucial moment would spell the demise of the family.

“I can’t even hear you clearly.” Chu Kuangren shook his head and performed the Spring Breeze Healing Technique.

As the breeze blew past, it nourished the Wu Clan Leader with the life force that allowed him to swiftly recover from his injuries.

The Wu Clan Leader, who was previously at the brink of death, was now rejuvenated and alive. He looked at Chu Kuangren in awe and exclaimed, “W-what technique was that?!”

“None of your business. Now that I’ve helped the Wu clan to defeat their enemy and saved your life, I need your help on a matter in return.”

Chu Kuangren said casually.

There was no harm in asking the Wu clan for a favor in return for his random act of kindness.
