Inside the city where the Murong clan was located.
At that moment, numerous people walked onto the streets. Looking at the large shadow that covered up the skies above them, all of them were stunned.
“What… What is that?”
“s.h.i.+p… It's a s.h.i.+p…It's a very huge s.h.i.+p!”
“What do you mean, 's.h.i.+p'? That thing can soar through the skies, it's a type of Fairy boat to be exact. But by the heavens, this is my first time seeing one that's so big.”
“This is a fairy boat? I'd even believe it if you told me it's a floating fairy palace.”
“It's… It's huge…”
The Illusive Mirage arrived in the skies above the city.
Standing on deck, Chu Kuangren looked below and said, “This must be the city where the Murong clan is located. We've finally arrived.”
Based on a normal Fairy boat's speed, it would take around two or three days to get to the city. However, things were different with the Illusive Mirage.
Despite the Illusive Mirage's huge size, it also possessed top-notched speed.
It managed to reach the Murong clan's location within one day and one night.
“Next up, let's find where the Murong clan is located.”
Chu Kuangren mumbled as he spread his spiritual thoughts in all directions.
He finally found the Murong clan's location within a short while. However, his expression turned incomparably grim the moment he witnessed what was happening there at that exact moment.
“Well done! Well done, Murong clan!”
“In light of this matter today, I will never let you off the hook forever!”
Meanwhile, within the Murong clan's location.
The sudden arrival of the Illusive Mirage cast a large shadow upon the area beneath it.
It was as if the surrounding skies had turned dark.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the gigantic Fairy boat in the sky. After all, that was their first time seeing a Fairy boat as large as that.
“My G.o.d, who's Fairy boat is this!”
“You're telling me that's a Fairy boat?”
“Who the h.e.l.l is on it? In the whole Firmament Star, I've never heard of any orthodoxies owning a Fairy boat like this, and the same goes to the sage orthodoxies as well.”
“It can't possibly be a newly constructed battles.h.i.+p from some dynasty, right?”
“There seems to be no sign or insignia on it either.”
Everyone began to engage in a heated discussion. Meanwhile, the Murong clan's head and his elders just gazed at the Illusive Mirage with utmost interest instead.
“What a mysterious Daoist pattern it has, and that energy as well. This Fairy boat must possess something more besides its huge size.”
“If my Murong clan were to own such a Fairy boat, our foundation and background standings would no doubt increase. Who's Fairy boat is that?”
Among the onlooking crowd, Murong Feng's anxiety intensified upon seeing the Illusive Mirage because he felt a familiar energy emanating from it.
Whoosh…
Soon after, two figures descended from the Illusive Mirage.
Everyone was astonished when they saw who those two were.
“It truly is him!”
Murong Feng said in shock when he saw it was Chu Kuangren.
“I don't know where you are from, but if you can pardon me asking…” One of the elders approached Chu Kuangren, interested to find out who he was.
“Scram!”
Chu Kuangren simply lifted his arm and unleashed a palm attack.
A horrifying Human Mountain Daoist Rhyme erupted from his palm and before the elder could react, he was sent flying and spewing blood. Eventually, the elder crashed onto a nearby wall.
“What!”
“How dare he come to my Murong clan's place and cause trouble!”
The expressions of the Murong clan's head and others changed drastically.
Just as they were about to take action, Murong Feng hurriedly went before them and blocked their path, saying, “Please stop, this person is the Black Heaven Sect Leader!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard his words.
Meanwhile, the ones who went to the Hidden Sword Canyon, which included Murong Yu, Murong Hai, and the others, looked at Chu Kuangren with fear building up in their eyes.
“Chu Kuangren. I can't believe he really came.”
“Hmph, so what if he's here? There's only him and that woman beside him. What kind of trouble can those two possibly make?”
“You're right, this is our Murong clan's territory after all.”
The crowd stared intently at Chu Kuangren, ready to fight at any moment.
However, all he did was slowly walk toward Murong Xuan instead. The moment he felt the Domain energy that was suppressing his junior brother, Chu Kuangren lifted his arm and released a white lotus into the air, which instantly nullified the Domain energy that was weighing upon Murong Xuan.
“His strength…”
Murong Yu's expression changed.
Only then did he realize that Chu Kuangren was even stronger than before!
Moreover, it was not a small increment in strength.
'How is this possible!'
'How many days have pa.s.sed since our journey to the Sword Gauntlet?'
After the Domain energy was completely dispersed, Murong Xuan hurriedly ran before the coffin with tears flowing down his face. He then carefully held up the skeletal remains that had tumbled out earlier.
Chu Kuangen was silent as he followed after him.
He could feel a tremendous feeling of grief and anger from Murong Xuan's body.
“I'm sorry, mother. I'm sorry for not being filial enough… I'm sorry for failing to protect you…”
Murong Xuan's voice trembled as he spoke.
Standing behind him, even Chu Kuangren trembled slightly when he heard what Murong Xuan said. He then gazed at the skeletal remains on the ground with utter disbelief. 'This is Murong Xuan's mother!'
'It seems that Murong Xuan's mother has pa.s.sed away for a long time now. I can't believe the Murong clan would dare treat a deceased person like this before Murong Xuan…'
An unprecedented surge of anger instantly welled up in Chu Kuangren's chest the moment he thought of that. His ever-chilling gaze swept across everyone present.
Placing his hand on Murong Xuan's shoulder, Chu Kuangren calmly a.s.sured him. “It's alright now, you're not alone anymore, because I'm here!”
He then glanced at the clan tomb mausoleum and walked towards it.
Everyone was startled and surprised by his actions.
'What's he trying to do?'
The Murong clan's head then went forward to greet him. “Greetings, Black Heaven Sect Leader. I'm afraid that your sudden arrival has interfered with my Murong clan's internal affairs, so I don't think it's inappropriate for you to be here now.”
Without sparing him a look, Chu Kuangren simply raised his arm, and out came another palm attack.
The power of the Human Mountain Stamp was so terrifyingly strong that even the Murong clan's head could not defend himself against it. Instead, he was instantly blown away like a cannonball.
“This impudent man!”
“Merely attacking without even saying a word, he's too audacious and insolent!”
“Stop him now!”
The elders of the Murong clan immediately attacked Chu Kuangren at once. Surges of sword qi then erupted and formed into a web of swords in the void
A cold glint flashed across Chu Kuangren's eyes.
With that, the Descendant Self Sword at his waist unsheathed itself and instantly unleashed an immeasurable purple sword ray which was engulfed with his boiling rage!
The unstoppable sword ray tore through the net of swords effortlessly, sending shockwaves that sent the attacking elders flying.
The target of the sword qi was not them.
Instead, it was the Murong clan's… mausoleum!
“This is bad!”
“Quickly, someone stop him!”
The Murong clan's head and elders were extremely angered.
Seeing that situation unfold, Murong Feng immediately shot out an extremely sharp sword qi with his Contending Sun Sword, intending to stop Chu Kuangren's attack.
However, his attempt was futile!
In the past, he could not even block a single attack from Chu Kuangren.
Moreover, Chu Kuangren was now much stronger than he used to be, so there was no chance for him to stop his attack!
The sword ray shattered, and like the elders earlier, Murong Feng was blown away by the residual shockwave caused by the colliding impact. He could only watch as the purple sword ray landed on his clan's mausoleum without mercy.
With a loud bang, a large number of stones were destroyed, and the clan mausoleum instantly collapsed with just that sword ray. Multiple coffins were laid bare, or broken, or fallen onto the ground…
At that moment, every disciple of the Murong clan felt extremely humiliated as they stared daggers at Chu Kuangren like they were going to swallow him with their gazes.
'He really did desecrate the Murong clan's mausoleum!'
'The people buried there were all ancestors of the Murong clan!'
“Murong Xuan is my Black Heaven Sect's Daoist, and that makes his mother a part of my Black Heaven Sect as well. Now that all of you have disturbed his mother's slumbering peace, I shall let all the ancestors of the Murong clan… Die a graveless death!”
The tone of Chu Kuangren's voice was as cold as a violent blizzard.
Everyone trembled the moment they heard that.
“Black Heaven Sect… You guys… Do you want to go to war?”
Trembling from all the rage he felt, the Murong clan's head yelled.
“Bring it on then! Let's go to war right now!”
Chu Kuangren's roar was as loud as thunder.
An immeasurably terrifying Sword-based Daoist Rhyme that carried the rage he felt erupted from his body and swept through all directions like a tide!
The whole Murong clan shook!
