Chapter 241 - 241 241 Murong Tian

Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Murong Tian Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Murong Tian The battle ended, and the imperial army withdrew to the Imperial Capital, with the powerhouses of various forces heading back to their own estates.

After this battle, Shuiyue Empire was defeated, and both Tai Xu Sect and Fenglei Sect were destroyed, making Yanhuo Empire now the dominant force among the four great empires.

With the defeat of Shuiyue Empire, Yanhuo Empire undoubtedly became the leader among the four nations!

The news spread, and the four great empires were shaken.

The downfall of Shuiyue Empire! The complete annihilation of the strongest Shadow Corps! Emperor Lei Zhenfeng of Shuiyue, killed by Sect Master of Tai Xu Sect, and more such huge news swept across the four great empires.

The fact that Sect Master Murong Tianlie of Tai Xu Sect intended to annex other nations and occupy Divine Valley also became widely known, leaving countless people in shock.

And when they heard the news that Feng Wuchen had broken through to the first layer of Tianyuan Realm and killed Murong Tianlie with overwhelming power, they were all stunned.

About the great battle, various versions of news regarding Feng Wuchen began to spread through the four great empires.

Each piece of shocking news caused countless cultivators in the four great empires to tremble with fear.

The incredible news had the emperors of Tianwu and Luoyun in utter shock, breaking out into a cold sweat on the spot, barely able to believe that Shuiyue Empire was defeated, let alone that Tai Xu Sect was wiped out by Feng Wuchen alone!

Murong Tianlie had broken through to the third layer of Tianyuan Realm, and his strength was terrifying, yet he was killed by Feng Wuchen!

They were all secretly relieved that they had not assisted Shuiyue Empire, or else, they too might have had to pay with their lives!

These were facts, leaving no room for disbelief!

In this battle, Feng Wuchen was the hero!

Yanhuo Empire’s victory was largely thanks to Feng Wuchen, who trained Sky Shadow cavalry and Black Flag Army, the two strongest forces, which annihilated the Shadow Corps, striking terror into the army of Shuiyue Empire.

In this battle, Feng Wuchen used the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower to suppress Lei Zhenfeng and to inflict severe injuries on him.

In this battle, Feng Wuchen turned disaster into fortune, breaking through to Tianyuan Realm and killing Sect Master Murong Tianlie of Tai Xu Sect!

In this battle, Feng Wuchen became the most powerful existence among the four great empires, acclaimed as the youngest strong practitioner in Tianyuan Realm by the four great empires!

…

Three days have passed since the intense battle ended.

In these three days, Feng Wuchen not only fully recovered but also solidified his realm at the first layer of Tianyuan Realm.

Ling Xiaoxiao was currently in closed-door cultivation. After an intense battle, her bottleneck loosened, and she was seizing this opportunity to break through to Tianyuan Realm!

To speed up Ling Xiaoxiao’s entry into Tianyuan Realm, Feng Wuchen specially allowed her to cultivate in the Seventh Layer of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.

With the battle over, the most important thing for the Feng family now was to look for Feng Zhengxiong’s whereabouts.

The Sky Shadow cavalry and Black Flag Army soldiers were once again deployed, with major empires in front conducting a search, and the other three great empires sending strong practitioners to assist.

In the Feng Family hall, Feng Yuan said, “Mother, with all four great empires lending a hand this time, I believe we’ll soon have news of father.”

“That would be for the best!” Xiao Qingqing nodded with relief, also harboring a glimmer of hope to find Feng Zhengxiong soon.

Feng Wuchen’s expression was solemn. He too hoped to find out Feng Zhengxiong’s whereabouts. But what if they didn’t find him? Would that imply that Feng Zhengxiong wasn’t in any of the four great empires?

That was Feng Wuchen’s biggest concern.

The only enemy of the Feng family was the Huangfu household. Huangfu Tianba and his people had long since fled the empire to the Mainland. If they had captured Feng Zhengxiong, then he would naturally be on the Mainland as well.

“If we still can’t find the Family Head, then it must be the Huangfu family!” Feng Qianyang said with a grave tone, as the high-ranking members of the Feng family were all suspecting the Huangfu family.

“The Huangfu family!” Feng Wuchen furrowed his brows, and a fierce murderous intent flashed through his dark eyes.

…

Tai Xu Sect of Shuiyue Empire.

The destruction of Tai Xu Sect was a fact, but the imposing palaces of the sect still stood, housing some younger disciples and one managing elder, while the rest were dead.

Most of these younger disciples, numbering only a few dozen, were around twelve or thirteen years old, and many others had been taken away by their families, fearing that they might attract fatal trouble.

The once grand Tai Xu Sect was now silent and lifeless, lacking its former glory.

Murong Tianlie had killed Emperor Lei Zhenfeng, and Tai Xu Sect should have been erased, but Lei Jue had indeed shown extraordinary mercy by pardoning the younger disciples of Tai Xu Sect.

This showed that Lei Jue’s style was completely different from Lei Zhenfeng’s; if it had been Lei Zhenfeng, he would have likely eliminated these younger disciples to prevent future troubles.

“Whoosh!”

In the desolate palace above, a young man appeared out of thin air, his presence emanating a powerful aura.

Being able to fly in the sky without any assistance indicated that the man was of Tianyuan Realm cultivation.

Apart from the strong aura radiating from the man, there was also a very strange aura that couldn’t be identified, giving an unsettling feeling overall.

“Six years!” The man murmured to himself, looking down at the palace below, his expression calm, yet a subtle hint of hatred flickered in his eyes.

The man slowly descended, and the younger disciples inside the sect curiously gathered around, eyeing the man with fascination.

“Big brother, are you also a disciple of Tai Xu Sect?”

“We seem to have never seen you before.”

“I don’t know when the master and the others will be back. I have to go back to cultivate, lest I be punished by the master.”

The twelve or thirteen-year-old disciples, each with pure and innocent hearts, were completely unaware of the destruction of Tai Xu Sect.

“Your masters will be back soon! Hurry back to cultivate,” the young man said with a faint smile.

The younger disciples were obviously afraid of their masters, as they all ran back at a sprint.

“Young Sect Master?” At this moment, at the entrance of the great hall, an elder walked out. When he saw the young man, he first froze, then cried out in shock and confusion.

“Manager Elder!” The young man said with a slight smile.

“Young Sect Master! It really is you!” The manager elder rushed over, overcome with trembling emotion and tears.

The young man in front of him was actually the young Sect Master of Tai Xu Sect!

That the younger disciples of Tai Xu Sect did not recognize the young Sect Master indicated that the man had not been back to Tai Xu Sect for a long time.

“It’s me,” the young man said with an indifferent smile.

The young man was none other than Murong Tian, the young Sect Master of Tai Xu Sect!

Murong Tian wore white brocade robes and had a handsomely handsome visage, exuding the aura of a gentleman, although the aura he emitted was very strange.

Murong Tian had been adventuring through the mainland for many years, a full six years in extent, without ever returning to Tai Xu Sect.

The name Murong Tian was known to everyone in the Shuiyue Empire, with his extremely high cultivation talent once overshadowing Prince Lei Jue of the empire.

Murong Tian was the foremost genius of the Shuiyue Empire in those years!

It was just a pity that he left Tai Xu Sect and the Empire six years ago, never to return.

If he were still in the Empire, the title of the number one genius of the Shuiyue Empire might not have fallen to Lei Jue!

“Young Sect Master, you’ve finally come back. The Sect Master and the protectors, they’ve all died…” the manager elder cried painfully, unable to suppress the sorrow and rage in his heart.

Murong Tian nodded and said, “I know, I’ve already heard.”

“Young Sect Master, you must avenge them! Feng Wuchen killed them all!” the manager elder wept bitterly.

“His death has nothing to do with me; he killed my mother, and I have already severed ties with him. The affairs of Tai Xu Sect have nothing to do with me, but since the Flame Empire has produced such a terrifying genius, I am quite interested in seeing his abilities. If possible, I will kill him, as a way to avenge the dead of Tai Xu Sect, but certainly not for Murong Tianlie!” Murong Tian said indifferently, his words ice cold.

“Ah…” Hearing this, the manager elder sighed helplessly, then while leading Murong Tian towards the great hall, asked, “Young Sect Master, where have you been these years?”

“The Jiuzhou of the mainland. I followed my maternal grandfather in cultivation; my cultivation has progressed quite a bit,” Murong Tian replied.

The manager elder nodded and thought to himself, “The Nangong family of the Jiuzhou on the mainland is terrifyingly powerful; no wonder the Young Sect Master’s cultivation has improved so rapidly.”

“Six years, and Tai Xu Sect hasn’t changed one bit,” Murong Tian said with a light smile.

At his words, the manager elder laughed and said, “Tai Xu Sect indeed hasn’t changed much. Rather, it is the Young Sect Master who has changed tremendously. Your cultivation is so strong; I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Six years ago, Murong Tian was a young boy of about fourteen or fifteen, but after six years, he had grown into an adult, becoming powerful and immensely changed.

Murong Tian chuckled and asked, “Speaking of strength, is Feng Wuchen really that powerful? Manager Elder, how much do you know about him? Can you tell me?”

“Feng Wuchen’s strength is indeed terrifying!” the manager elder said solemnly, and then he told Murong Tian all he knew.

“A Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner capable of Thought-Forming Instrumentation? And an Alchemist?” Murong Tian showed a look of shock and disbelief after hearing that.

“Can a person really do all that? Where would he find the time?” Murong Tian frowned, full of doubts, suspecting that the manager elder was deceiving him.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, no matter how high his cultivation talent, even if he had been cultivating from the womb, couldn’t possibly achieve such high accomplishments in three different fields.

Let alone his high cultivation talent and rapid advancement.

But what about being an Artifact Refiner and an Alchemist? Achieving such high accomplishments in both fields surely must require a great deal of time?

It’s simply not possible in eighteen years!

The manager elder shook his head and said, “That I do not know. As for Feng Wuchen, who in the four great Empires doesn’t know of him?”

After a pause, the manager elder added, “By the way, Young Sect Master, Feng Wuchen also has a half-grade Immortal Artifact, a tower named Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, with extremely domineering suppressive power, capable of suppressing an opponent’s True Yuan!”

“Oh? A half-grade Immortal Artifact? And it can suppress an opponent’s True Yuan?” Murong Tian exclaimed again, guessing, “Could it be that Murong Tianlie was killed by being suppressed with the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower?”

“No, Feng Wuchen didn’t use the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower when he broke through to the Tianyuan Realm and fought with the Sect Master!” the manager elder shook his head and said.

“In that case, Feng Wuchen, at the first layer of the Tianyuan Realm, killed someone at the third layer. Such strength is indeed fearsome! No wonder he is so highly regarded by the Empire,” Murong Tian said with a faint, cold smile as a surge of heat and fighting spirit rose within him.

“Young Sect Master, we must not let Feng Wuchen go free!” the manager elder said darkly and angrily.

“Such a formidable opponent, truly something to look forward to! Tomorrow I will go to the Unmatched City of the Flame Empire and see if Feng Wuchen really has three heads and six arms!” Murong Tian said with increasing passion.

Knowing well that Feng Wuchen had the strength to kill someone of the third layer of Tianyuan Realm, Murong Tian was still unafraid, which showed his own strength was equally terrifying.
