Chapter 226: Chapter 0226 Innate Entry

"You’re not a Divine Communicator, yet you possess the potential of one!" Nangong Man Sha turned her gaze towards the sea and said softly, "Our Old Master once had the fortune of hearing about the realm of Divine Communication. Every single person who has reached that realm is an innate genius. And Mr. Chu, you are just twenty-one years old, right? You’ve already reached Half-step Innate, and it is only a matter of a few years before you will break through to Innate."

At this point, Nangong Man Sha took a deep breath and looked at Chu Ge, saying, "So, I think Mr. Chu may have the hope of stepping into that realm!"

"Divine Communication?" Chu Ge murmured the term but fell silent.

He had once seen a few scenes when absorbing the Cultivation Technique from the Jade Pendant.

In the scenes, a figure simply pointed a finger, and there was a majestic Sword Qi that could cleave through heaven and earth, splitting rivers and seas apart! If Divine Communication is the pinnacle of Martial Arts, then what realm does the person in that scene belong to?

"Innate, is just but the beginning." Suddenly, Chu Ge remembered a phrase his master had said before his demise.

"Innate, the beginning?"

"That’s enough." Just then, Nangong Man Sha suddenly smiled at Chu Ge and then made her way to the cabin, "The conference begins at six o’clock. This meeting will not only include the Old Masters, but the Martial Artists accompanying each family will also join, so Mr. Chu, you should prepare yourself."

"It’s finally starting, huh." Chu Ge gazed at the suddenly rough sea, tilting his head to drain the red wine in his glass, "Good, let me see just what capabilities the Ghost Poison Sect truly has!"

By the time he returned to the cabin, Zhao Wuji was already waiting in the corridor, "I was about to find Mr. Chu just now, but seeing Miss Man Sha visiting, I did not go up, hope I did not intrude?"

Zhao Wuji wore an ambiguous smile, to which Chu Ge shook his head with a wry smile, "No intrusion, although you might not believe me, I still want to say, I really have nothing to do with that woman."

"I understand." However, an all-too-familiar knowing smirk appeared on Zhao Wuji’s face, "Mr. Chu, rest assured, after we return to Shanghai, I will definitely not mention more than necessary in front of President Mu!"

Facing this explanation, all Chu Ge could do was look at him helplessly and opt to remain silent.

"Mr. Chu." Dressed in a red Tang costume and holding a dragon-headed cane, Mr. Ouyang smiled at Chu Ge, "This time, the old man’s life is in your hands."

"Old Master, just rest assured." Chu Ge smiled slightly and then followed the group towards the conference hall.

The conference hall was set on the third floor, but this time it was closer to the deck. When Mr. Ouyang arrived, most people in the hall were already present, even Nangong Man Sha was there.

Noticing Chu Ge’s gaze, Nangong Man Sha turned her head and gave him a radiant smile.

"Hehe." Mr. Ouyang chuckled, looking at Chu Ge before shaking his head and taking a seat in the front row, while Chu Ge sat beside Mr. Ouyang.

Not much later, the doors of the conference hall were pushed open by someone, and Duan Congxing, dressed in a black suit, entered.

Chu Ge noticed that Duan Congxing’s aura was even more vigorous than before, but that was definitely not good news. It meant that the little Life Force inside his body had begun to burn up at an increased rate.

And the man in a black robe following behind Duan Congxing completely captured Chu Ge’s attention.

He was of average height, a bit shorter than Duan Congxing, shrouded entirely in a voluminous black robe. He even wore an ancient-like conical bamboo hat, exuding an aura of mystery and peculiarity.

The black-robed figure seemed to sense something and turned his gaze toward Chu Ge.

Chu Ge was startled but showed no fear as he met the man’s gaze directly, and after quite some time, it was the black-robed man who first looked away.

"Master Zheng." Once the black-robed figure looked away, Chu Ge whispered.

"Mr. Chu, what is it?" Zheng Lihong was seated on the other side of Mr. Ouyang, and upon hearing Chu Ge’s whisper, quickly turned to ask softly.

"Later on, make sure you protect the Old Master."

"Yes, but what about you, Mr. Chu..."

"That man in black, if I’m not mistaken, is an Innate Grandmaster!" Chu Ge said quietly, looking at the black-robed figure who had already sat down.

"What?" Not just Zheng Lihong, but even Mr. Ouyang was startled.

"Wait and see. I suspect that he’s most likely the Duan Family’s supporter," Chu Ge said softly.

Just then, Mr. Duan standing on the front stage had already picked up the microphone, "I, Duan Congxing, am very happy to have everyone gathered here once again, as this proves that I still hold some sway!"

What was supposed to be a mood lightener fell flat, however, as not only was the atmosphere unaffected, it grew even tenser than before.

Everyone was silent, watching him.

The smile on Duan Congxing’s face gradually faded, and after a deep breath, he continued, "Since everyone is not in the mood for jokes, let me get to the point without further delay. The main topic of discussion for this meeting is still about the family merger!"

"No need for discussion, Duan Congxing. Nobody will agree to your proposal. If you intend to force it, then my Sima Family is unafraid to go directly to war with your Duan Family," the hot-tempered Mr. Sima stood up and pointed at Duan Congxing.

"What’s wrong with my proposal?" Duan Congxing’s face suddenly turned red, as if the toxins in his body were acting up once again, affecting his mood.

He bore a ferocious look, glaring at Sima Lingfu and growled, "Heh, the Four Great Families of Modu? In front of the real major families of Beijing, that’s nothing but a joke! Moreover, the powers that surpass mundane affairs. If our families merge, even the super families of Beijing would have to keep their distance, the bright prospects are clearly evident!"

At that moment, Nangong Man Sha suddenly spoke up, "Hmph, it seems Mr. Duan is not only dissatisfied with the distribution of power in Shanghai but with the entire family power structure in Huaxia as well. It appears that I need to inform the Old Master of this development, and while I’m at it, the other five families should be notified too."

Everyone turned their gaze upon Duan Congxing, silent.

The Three Major Families of Modu, the Four Great Families of Beijing—if Duan Congxing insisted on having his way, he would stand in direct opposition to all these families, and at that point, annihilation could be instantaneous.

However, just then, Duan Congxing turned to look at Nangong Man Sha, and began to laugh softly, "Hehehe... Hahahaha..."
