Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 582

Clearly.

Everyone present couldn’t believe what Canglang Jun had said and thought of him as an arrogant old fool who loved to boast!

After all, being called the master of an imperial family meant he had to be a supreme Immortal Emperor.

Looking across the entire Immortal Realm, how many cultivators could there be? But how many could actually reach the Immortal Emperor level?

Each of them was a superpower in the Immortal Realm, a big shot with sky-high skills!

And now, here was some old grandpa declaring that even the masters of imperial families would have to call him “grandpa”?

Isn’t that just pure bragging?

The braided guy sneered, “Old man, if you say that out loud, you’re asking for trouble. Better watch your words!”

He had initially been somewhat suspicious of Canglang Jun’s identity, but upon hearing this, all doubt vanished, replaced by deep disdain and contempt.

Anyone who dared to make such big claims must surely be a nobody!

Because only nobodies would talk nonsense without a care in the world!

“Old man, thanks for your help just now, but let me take my sister and go. I don’t want to burden you anymore!”

The boy’s eyes were pure as he made his request.

He was grateful for this old man’s timely help, and though he was a bit thick-skinned and liked to boast, he didn’t want to drag this kind soul into more trouble.

Canglang Jun was feeling quite frustrated.

Wait a minute, I didn’t say anything wrong! Why does everyone not believe me?

The current Li family imperial clan of the North Cold Immortal Domain, with an ancestor like Li Ruotong, is my own granddaughter; of course, she’d have to call me ‘grandpa’!

Isn’t that right?

“Hmph, believe it or not!”

Canglang Jun huffed, shaking his sleeve angrily as he spoke.

“Old man, I advise you to stop while you’re ahead. If you don’t mind your own business in this matter, you can forget about getting slapped by me. Otherwise, offending the Tian Shui Han Family will surely leave you without a grave!”

The braided guy threatened.

“You think I’m scared of you? Get lost!”

Canglang Jun sneered dismissively, waving his hand casually, as if swatting away a fly, unleashing a terrifying wave like a raging tsunami.

“Ah!”

The braided guy and his companions suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure crashing down on them, getting sent crashing away and bursting through who knows how many ancient trees, finally tumbling down a cliff, their fate uncertain.

Seeing this, the boy was stunned, seemingly not able to process what just happened.

He never imagined this old bragging grandpa would dare to offend the Tian Shui Han Family!

“Kid, don’t be afraid. You and your sister are out of danger now.” Canglang Jun said kindly, looking at the boy who resembled a beggar.

“Thank you, old man, for saving my life!”

The boy said with reddened eyes, choking up.

Mother was right; there are still good people in this world.

“Little sister, hurry and thank the old man for saving us…”

Noticing his silent sister, the boy instinctively turned around, only to find her pale face, eyes tightly shut, her head tilted against his back, completely unresponsive.

Upon seeing this, the boy panicked, crying out, “Little sister, wake up, don’t scare me!”

“Put her down, let me take a look.”

Canglang Jun said kindly.

“Old man, please save my sister, I’m begging you…” The boy was frantic, treating this old man as his last lifeline as he carefully laid his sister down and kept bowing in front of him, tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Don’t worry,” Canglang Jun extended his hand, glowing warmly, and directed it at the girl’s wound.

The bleeding stopped, but the injuries didn’t seem to heal.

That injury had cut deep, damaging her Immortal Source, and along with excessive blood loss, her life force was severely weakened. Even an Immortal Sovereign would struggle to save her; all they could do was watch her die!

Canglang Jun sighed, “Alas, I’m afraid I can’t save her.”

Hearing this felt like a bolt from the blue. The boy’s lips trembled as two streams of tears fell down his face.

His heart felt like it was being pierced by countless swords, bleeding profusely; it hurt too much to breathe.

“Little sister, wake up! You can’t die! We promised to live and return to our clan together…” The boy cried out in anguish, kneeling beside his sister.

“Child, if you trust me, come with me. There’s someone who can save your sister!”

Canglang Jun felt a pang of compassion.

The moment the boy heard this, he hurriedly said, “Please lead the way, I’m willing to trade my life for hers!”

“Hehe, that’s not necessary.” Canglang Jun didn’t say much else, releasing a sky-blue light around them that enveloped all three, then swiftly traversing the mountains like lightning.

Whoosh~

Soon, the light landed on another mountain before dissipating.

“Xiao Dezi, I asked you to get some seafood nearby, and you brought back two kids. What’s up with that?”

Ye Junlin, lounging in a recliner, said with annoyance.

Canglang Jun laughed apologetically, “Senior Ye, I ran into a bit of trouble. This little girl is gravely injured and on the brink of death, so I thought I’d have Little Black take care of her.”

The boy’s pupils dilated in shock.

In his eyes, this old man was a powerful figure, yet he was addressing someone barely in their twenties like a senior with the utmost respect.

The gap in their status was glaringly obvious.

“Oh?” Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, glancing at the unconscious girl, who clearly appeared to be on the verge of death.

“Little Black, go help her.”

“Yes, Master!”

The Great Mushroom King, dedicated to healing, didn’t mind lending a hand.

“This…”

Seeing a mushroom-headed youth coming over, the boy was filled with skepticism and wanted to say something but thought better of it.

In the current situation, they could only gamble on hope.

Whoosh!

The Great Mushroom King stretched out his hands, which emitted a blazing green light, and behind him appeared an image of a chaotic azure lotus.

The emerald glow flowed like waves, sprouting tender shoots from the earth wherever it touched.

Humming, the surging wood power poured into the girl, furiously repairing her life force.

Before long,

The girl’s complexion returned gradually, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

“All set.”

The Great Mushroom King withdrew his hands, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air.

“Little sister, wake up!”

The boy exclaimed in shock, calling out.

The girl opened her eyes, her pure and clear gaze clouded in confusion as her voice rang out like a melodious stream,

“Brother, what happened to me?”

“Who are they…?”

Seeing several strangers around her, the girl looked anxious, drawing close to her brother.

Witnessing this scene, the boy’s heart soared, pulling his sister closer and explaining, “Little sister, you were injured very seriously and almost died. It was this divine doctor who saved you.”

“Thank you, senior, for saving my life!”

The girl exclaimed in surprise, immediately bowing to the mushroom-headed boy in gratitude.

The Great Mushroom King quickly waved his hand, flustered, “No, no, it’s nothing, just a small effort.”

Saying this, he turned and hurried back to his master’s side, clearly not wanting to chat with strangers.

“I’m quite curious about what trouble you two got into to be treated this way by the Han family’s cultivators.”

Canglang Jun stroked his beard, voicing his thoughts.

In his view, this brother and sister were unremarkable except for their speed, so why would they attract the attention of the Tian Shui Han Family?

The siblings lowered their heads, their faces showing indignation and deep humiliation.

“Brother…”

“Little sister, let me explain; they’re our saviors and can be trusted.”

Moments passed, and the boy took a deep breath, speaking in a low tone:

“Old man, you’ve probably seen that we don’t look human, we’re actually part of the demonic race. The reason why the Han Family is hunting us is that they want to use us as food for their young master.”

“They say the current young master of the Han Family really enjoys eating our kind, which has led many factions, not just the Han Family, to try and capture us to please that young master.”

“For years, our clan has struggled to survive in the cracks, constantly changing locations to endure this. Sadly, not long ago, during a major migration, we were ambushed by enemies, and my sister and I got separated from the main group.”

“Later, while trying to return to our tribe, we were discovered by the Han Family’s cultivators. To escape, we fled here…”

The boy’s voice grew softer, his tone heavy with sadness.

He clenched his fists, trembling.

To satisfy a young imperial master’s appetite, his entire clan was facing annihilation, dragged away as food.

No one wanted their clan to be treated this way.

But there was no choice; in this day and age, weakness was the ultimate sin.

As an imperial family, the Tian Shui Han Family towered high in the West Ze Immortal Domain and was one of the ancient top clans.

Who would dare stand up against them? Who would dare speak out for justice?

Listening to her brother, recalling the struggles of their clan over the years, the girl couldn’t help but feel tears brimming in her eyes, softly weeping at the side.

“Ah, how well I can understand what it feels like to be hunted for dinner,” the Great Mushroom King sighed, feeling a profound sense of empathy.

As a Supreme Immortal Medicine, how many cultivators had come to capture him? If it weren’t for his master intervening, he would have been refined long ago, reduced to nothing more than a pile of dung…
