Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 45: The Orthodoxies Quarrel, Princess Linglong Is Looking For A Companion

“Red rain is falling from the sky. A Supreme Honorable has fallen!”

“Who died? And who’s behind it?”

“There’s only one Supreme Honorable in White Cloud City and that person’s Ye Wuhen. Could it be that he’s the fallen Supreme Honorable?”

Everyone had witnessed the red rain.

Even if Chu Kuangren had wanted to, it was impossible to hide the truth.

Everyone was engulfed in shock knowing that a Supreme Honorable had fallen.

As Chu Kuangren walked amongst the street, he overheard all the whispers and gossips. Although indifferent on the outside, Chu Kuangren felt a sense of helplessness from within.

Fame was always an ingredient for disaster.

This time, he once again became the center of another controversy.

He was already blessed with a handsome appearance and an unprecedented talent. Now that his reputation had soared, would other cultivators not be jealous?

Chu Kuangren felt dispirited.

Soon enough, he arrived at the White Jade Hotel.

“Brother Chu, did you know what’s with that sudden surge of domineering auras a moment ago? What happened at the city hall?” Li Xingchen hastily approached Chu Kuangren. He was aware that Chu Kuangren had attended a banquet there.

Chu Kuangren nodded, “It’s nothing big. An Honorable was killed, that’s all.”

Li Xingchen and a group of people reacted in shock.

For a moment, they doubted their own hearing. Which part of an Honorable dying was not a big issue?

Hold on.

Li Xingchen seemed to realize something and asked, “An Honorable was killed... Brother Chu, did you kill that Honorable?”

The rest covered their mouths to conceal their laughter. They thought Li Xingchen was being ridiculous. How was Chu Kuangren capable enough to kill an Honorable?

What a joke. He was just a Nascent Soul cultivator.

“Yes.”

Chu Kuangren did not deny that statement.

The group was in disbelief. This bloke surely knew how to toot his own horn.

“A supreme genius indeed, no one could match that thick skin of his. He didn’t even think it through before he went on with his ridiculous stories,” someone muttered in the crowd.

Li Xingchen laughed along and said, “Brother Chu, you sure know how to tell a good joke.”

“By the way, Brother Li, Ye Lei is also dead. I killed him as well. I thought I should inform you first,” Chu Kuangren did not mind whether everyone bought his story. He calmly passed the news to Li Xingchen.

Li Xingchen’s mood changed a little. He looked at Chu Kuangren for a good moment before he sighed and lamented, “What a shame. That person was one of the most talented cultivation experts. I didn’t think he would have fallen so soon.”

Although it was apparent that Li Xingchen sympathized with Ye Lei, there was no hint of sadness at all on his face.

Chu Kuangren was surprised and asked, “Was he not your friend?”

“Not really. It’s just that living together in White Cloud City, it was natural that we would bump into each other from time to time, but he wasn’t really a close friend.”

“I see,” Chu Kuangren understood.

“By the way, Brother Chu, why did you kill him?”

“It’s a long story, you may ask your father about it. I still have some matters to attend to and shall retreat to my own room to rest,” Chu Kuangren said.

...

In the guest room.

Chu Kuangren retrieved some healing pills for Lan Yu and said, “You’ve taken some damage in this battle. Go have a good rest.”

“There’s still some remnants of the Primordial Purple Haze residing within my body. I would like to perform Closed Door Meditation for a few days to fully digest it.”

“Master, do you need me to guard the doors?”

“It’s okay. Seventh Forefather is here.”

With Seventh Forefather present, Chu Kuangren did not need to worry about being disrupted.

Although Seventh Forefather had vanished ever since the Honorable Swordsman died, Chu Kuangren knew that he was always protecting him from the shadows.

...

As Chu Kuangren was meditating behind closed doors, the news of his possession of Honorable Yuan Ling’s Treasury and his killing of Honorable Swordsman White Cloud soon spread far and wide.

It was not long before White Cloud City was shocked by the news.

“So Brother Chu did not lie to me after all...” Li Xingchen was still in disbelief after he enquired about the events from his father.

At the same time, he was also confused as to how Chu Kuangren became such an excellent cultivator despite both of them belonging to the same generation.

Soon enough, the news spread beyond White Cloud City and had reached across Azure Dragon Domain and even throughout Firmament Star.

In the sage orthodox, Zhiyang Valley.

The sky-pride of Zhiyang Valley immediately jumped out of his seat when he heard the news. He exclaimed, “Is this true?”

“Absolutely. White Cloud City had red rain, confirming the death of Honorable Swordsman White Cloud. Whereas many cultivators had claimed that they witnessed Chu Kuangren killing Honorable Swordsman White Cloud. It’s unlikely that the news is fake.”

“How is that possible...”

“Apparently, he managed to do it using the Primordial Purple Haze. Even then, it was still an impressive feat.”

Upon hearing that explanation, the young man dressed in a purple robe felt a sense of relief.

Regardless, no one could deny the fact that Chu Kuangren had indeed killed Honorable Swordsman White Cloud. It was something the young man could never have done.

....

“I’ve never thought that Chu Kuangren would possess such remarkable abilities. How admirable. One of these days, I must find a time and place to properly meet him.”

The maiden sage of School of White Lotus said.

Many cultivators had drowned in envy upon hearing her intention.

The White Lotus maiden sage was an excellent sky-pride throughout the entire kingdom. Having been blessed with unprecedented beauty, she was almost angelic to many cultivators.

She had never been this friendly with another man in the past.

No one would have thought that she not only admired Chu Kuangren, but that she was also so eager to meet him.

It was a move that shattered many men’s hearts.

...

“Pfft, what’s there to be excited about? It’s not like he defeated Honorable Swordsman White Cloud with his own ability. Chu Kuangren needed to rely on an external source of power to do so.”

The third prince of the Royal Azure Dynasty said. Ever since Chu Kuangren injured his brother, he had long disliked the person. Naturally, he would try to undermine and diminish Chu Kuangren’s achievements and abilities.

Yet, the Black Heaven Sect was unwilling to let him have his way.

“If you’re so good, why don’t you go challenge an Honorable One yourself?” Chu Kuangren’s top fan, Nangong Huang said.

“Elder Senior Brother has a remarkable heavenly form, which allowed him to properly absorb the power of Primordial Purple Haze and defeat the Supreme Honorable One! If it was a certain prince in his position, I doubt ten Primordial Purple Haze could even do the job.”

Chu Kuangren’s number two fan, Murong Xuan joined in as well.

The two major sage orthodoxies had engaged in a massive quarrel.

“It’s an undeniable fact that Elder Senior Brother had defeated a Supreme Honorable. He’s unparalleled in this world whether you like it or not.”

“Unparalleled in this world? What a mouthful. If I didn’t know better I would have thought your Elder Senior Brother is an Emperor.”

“Elder Senior Brother is already unparalleled in his generation. It’s just a matter of time before he ascends to become an Emperor. The same cannot be said for your Prince, he couldn’t even withstand a single strike from our Elder Senior Brother. I’m afraid he won’t have much of a shot within this lifetime.”

“That’s bullsh*t! Our Crown Prince had continuously defeated six sage orthodoxies. Every Daoist from those orthodoxies couldn’t withstand a single punch from him. It’s him who’s truly unparalleled.”

“Pfft, you think your Crown Prince is good? He’s lucky that I was still in Closed Door Cultivation when he visited. Otherwise, I would’ve long stopped his invincible streak long before Chu Kuangren could!” Yuanhong from the Dharma Sect claimed.

“I’ve now transcended into the Paradise Realm! If the Crown Prince is brave enough, have him come over for a rematch!” Fangtian from the Five Ways Sect announced.

What started out as a quarrel only between the Azure Royal Dynasty and Black Heaven Sect soon involved all the sky-prides from every major sage orthodoxy in Azure Dragon Domain.

At last, the Royal Azure Dynasty issued an imperial edict.

It roughly went like this.

Princess Linglong of the Royal Azure Dynasty was looking for a Daoist companion. Hence, a martial art exchange would be held and the winner of the event shall be wedded as her husband.

Upon the announcement of the edict, everyone reacted in an uproar.

To become the husband to the princess of the Royal Azure Dynasty was a huge deal. After all, it was a sage orthodoxy.

One could have all the resources, connections, and knowledge that one could ever ask for.

It was a golden opportunity to ascend to a higher level.

Besides, rumors had it that Princess Linglong was a woman with unprecedented beauty. She was almost as attractive as the White Lotus maiden sage.

To marry her was to be blessed with an endless source of happiness.

Beauties, power, wealth, resources...

Everything a man could ever ask for.

Soon enough, cultivators from all across the world flocked to the Royal Azure Dynasty!
