Chapter 414: Chapter 94: Drawing Near [Thanks to Alliance Hierarch "Qu Hongxiao" for the reward]_1

Logically speaking, creatures of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands level should not involve outsiders in their own disputes, no matter what.

But when Mars gets involved, the Regent Residence has the right to intervene.

Even the Emperor doesn’t necessarily have that power, but the Regent Residence does.

The Regent Residence was originally established jointly by various Immortal Sects and the Imperial Court, specifically to suppress all kinds of evils in the Nine States Land. If necessary, it can call upon the Immortal Sects to join the battle at any time. Likewise, disciples of the Immortal Sects often join the Regent Residence for training - the two entities are interdependent.

Mars, the one who brings disasters upon the world, has always been a primary target of the Regent Residence.

The Whale Guild is now divided into two factions, fighting tirelessly against each other.

If both sides are adamant about their own perspectives and will not accept the other’s investigators, then it would be best if the trustworthy Regent Residence takes over the investigation.

Whether it is the faction of Xu Baishan or the faction of Jiang Shenting, both are in agreement.

If anyone does not wish the Regent Residence to investigate this matter, it would probably be the one who has truly collaborated with Mars.

Therefore, even as Jiang Shenting verbally agreed, he secretly had applied his Divine Skills.

Li Chengfeng shouted loudly, suddenly becoming like a sweeping gust of wind.

Only when everyone’s Divine Senses covered him did they realize that the body of Jiang Shenting was already a replica!

Immortal Law, External Avatar!

This Immortal Law could not only split a replica close to the Cultivator’s original cultivation level but also keep the replica in its original position while leaving the original body free to go.

Jiang Shenting did just this. The moment Li Chengfeng appeared, he realized something was wrong, and his real body escaped underground.

Li Chengfeng’s perception was razor-sharp. He sensed the anomaly at the moment the replica started to speak and promptly chased after him!

Although Jiang Shenting escaped quickly, Li Chengfeng, who became the wind, was faster. In no time, he was ahead of Jiang Shenting!

While everything happened in a blink of an eye, Jiang Shenting had already escaped outside of the Giant Whale Mansion. Li Chengfeng, who was suspended in the air, drew a black line on the ground with a swipe of his sword.

Jiang Shenting’s escape route was abruptly cut off, forcing him to emerge from within the earth.

At this moment, the injured Jiang Shenting had no intention of rivaling Li Chengfeng, and he immediately changed into thousands of his own likenesses, all fleeing in all directions!

It was as if the Starry Sky was scattering!

Every experienced martial artist had a lifesaving ace up their sleeves. This was Jiang Shenting’s lifesaving Divine Skill. As long as one of his replicas could escape, he would be saved!

Unfortunately, he had met Li Chengfeng.

The white-robed figure suddenly divided, instantly forming countless figures, each wielded a sword and flew rapidly. The speed was swift, leaving a trail of afterimages!

Swish, swish, swish, swish ——

In the blink of an eye, all of Jiang Shenting’s replicas had been scattered. The countless white figures converged to a single spot, standing in front of the only real Jiang Shenting.

One sword! Swoosh ——

Jiang Shenting, with no way to evade, suddenly realized when the sword flashed before his eyes that Li Chengfeng had not aimed at him, but had slashed a black rift behind him.

Then he saw a foot flying through the air.

Boom.

Li Chengfeng kicked Jiang Shenting into the rift.

Jiang Shenting’s time in the Seventh Realm was too short, and he was practically defenseless in front of these top-notch experts.

Once Jiang Shenting had been captured, Li Chengfeng returned to the Giant Whale Mansion.

At this, the elders of the East Whale Guild immediately fell into disarray. Many among them were unaware of Jiang Shenting’s collusion with Mars, and had assumed he was a good and talented person.

As for who might have been in cahoots with Jiang Shenting, it was up to the Regent Residence to investigate further.

...

After stabilizing the situation there, Li Chengfeng came over to Empress Feng.

"Sister Feng," He said.

"Oh, Xiao Feng." Empress Feng looked at him and laughed, "I was the one who drove that little snake over here, and you’ve done great merit this time."

"Thanks to you for intervening." Li Chengfeng’s attitude towards Empress Feng was so polite it was surprising, "But you and your disciples played a key role in this matter and we might need to inquire further about the specifics."

"No problem, I can go to the Regent Residence to assist with your investigation." Empress Feng said nonchalantly, then suddenly asked, "I can look in on Xiao Yu as well. Is she all right?"

"She is." Li Chengfeng said.

"Hehe..." Empress Feng revealed a laughing face, "It’s been so many years since we last saw each other, I’ve missed her so much."

Li Chengfeng immediately became alert, "We both have been married for quite some time."

"She’s a married woman now?" Emperor Feng’s smile became even brighter.

"..." Li Chengfeng looked dumbfounded and puzzled.

Chu Liang wanted to advise his teacher to tone it down a bit, but after all, he was the younger generation. It would be impolite to interrupt when his teacher was conversing with others.

At this time, Li Chengfeng’s gaze shifted to him. Not knowing whether it was to change the topic or out of sincerity, he said, "This must be your disciple, right? I had heard about him wielding the Purple Green Double Swords and slaying Tao Wu during the last battle at Shu Mountain. Now, he has even tamed the Fire Dragon from the Southern Sea. Truly, heroes come from youth."

Chu Liang hurriedly responded politely.

"Hehe." Empress Feng patted Chu Liang on the shoulder, "My disciple, of course, takes after me."

"Hmm..." Li Chengfeng blinked, then said, "I have some matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave first."

Speaking of the Fire Dragon, Chu Liang also came over to the creature.

After having been stepped on by Empress Feng, the Fire Dragon obediently lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to make any reckless movements.

In its nature, it did feel somewhat repulsed by the aura on Empress Feng. After all, both the Fire Dragon and the Divine Phoenix are Divine Beasts of the fire pathway, and they often clashed.

But it dared not act fiercely against her.

It lay there, looking aggrieved.

Chu Liang stepped forward and looked into its golden eyes, then asked, "Do you want to come back with me? Our Shu Mountain is big and comfortable..."

"Roar..." The Fire Dragon from the Southern Sea seemed to think about it with its limited intelligence, and finally shook its head.

Chu Liang sighed, indeed, a real dragon was too proud to be easily taken in. If it was so easy to convince it to return, there wouldn’t only be three forces in the world that had real dragons.

If he could bring it back, then Silver Sword Peak would have his teacher and the Fire Dragon, two ferocious beasts, who would dare to provoke them?

Regrettably, this beautiful scenario could only be imagined.

The Fire Dragon let out a soft groan and opened its mouth to emit a red golden light, which landed on Chu Liang with a swift motion. He immediately felt a wave of heat spread throughout his body, eventually coming to his wrist with a sizzling sound.

When Chu Liang raised his wrist to look, his right wrist now had a red golden scale.

Was this...

A dragon’s transmission of the secret method?

Chu Liang had once experienced this from a white dragon and instantly recognized what this was. The Fire Dragon’s cultivation method let him progress the methods of the Fire Dragon lineage, which was different from the methods of the White Dragon.

The secret method of the White Dragon was to enhance vitality, thus Chu Liang called it the Dragon Blood Secret Method, focusing on increasing physical strength.

But the Fire Dragon’s method was like a seed of fire, cultivating Divine Dragon Fire.

You could say what it gave him was more like a seed of fire.

It turned out that the cultivation methods of each real dragon were different. That might be similar to the fact that the cultivation techniques of human cultivators also varied, right?

Now Chu Liang’s cultivation was rather mixed.

He was probably at the peak of the fourth realm with the Shu Mountain cultivation technique, the second realm with the White Dragon technique, and the first realm with the Fire Dragon technique...

After giving Chu Liang the red scale, the Fire Dragon roared once, flew up into the sky and flew towards the south.

The movement here attracted everyone’s attention again.

After dealing with guild affairs, Xu Baishan looked at this scene and said, "This time, the reunion of my daughter and I was made possible thanks to Warrior Chu and the Fire Dragon."

Hong Qiu gently nodded, "Yes."

Xu Baishan suddenly asked, "What do you think of Warrior Chu as a person?"

"Huh?" Hong Qiu looked startled by the sudden question. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I don’t know him very well, I’ve only met him once or twice. He seems gentle, but sometimes I think he has a mischievous side. Yet, at times he seems highly virtuous..."

"If we could bring the two of you closer, would you be willing?" Xu Baishan suddenly asked again.

"What?" A trace of panic crossed Hong Qiu’s eyes, "Why is this being brought up...Not that I would object. But it seems a bit rushed. After all, we’ve only seen each other twice...I trust father’s judgment in everything, but..."

"Heh, why think so deeply while being young martial artists?" Xu Baishan waved his hand and walked towards Chu Liang, laughing, "Brother Chu, you saved both me and my daughter today, words cannot express my gratitude..."

"Myself, Xu Baishan, would like to be sworn brothers with you. What do you say?"

Hong Qiu: "?"
