Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 590

As the atmosphere over the clan grounds buzzed with excitement, suddenly, sharp sonic booms erupted from all directions, drowning out all the cheerful chatter.

“What’s going on?!”

The tribespeople’s hearts trembled as they looked around in uncertainty.

Rumble~

Sandstorm whipped through the sky, sword qi swirling everywhere.

Countless cultivators swooped down from the sky on their swords, a mighty wave that seemed endless.

“The Young Master has ordered, better catch them alive! The more, the better, and there will be great rewards afterwards!”

“Move faster! Don’t let those beasts escape!”

“Damn, that fortune teller is spot on! Those damn mutts are really hiding here!”

…

Shouts roared like the sea.

The Han family cultivators stormed the Tengu Tribe territory, their faces brimming with excitement, grins stretched wide into sinister smiles.

Looking at the panicking tribespeople below, their spirits couldn’t have been higher.

“Crap, it’s the Tian Shui Han Family coming for us!” cried one of the Tengu masters in fear.

“Quick, to the Clan Leader!”

The elders were terrified, their scalps tingling, hurriedly dragging their families to retreat.

“How did those guys find their way here?” Gou Qianyi trembled and asked in fear.

She recalled her earlier experience of being hunted by the Han family cultivators.

The Great Mushroom King stood up, eyes sparkling, voice firm: “Don’t worry, we have Master here; everything will be fine.”

“Okay,” Gou Qianyi nodded, feeling a sense of reassurance sweep over her.

At this moment.

The Han family cultivators swarmed into the Tengu Tribe like locusts. They didn’t go on a killing spree, but rather herded the Tengu people, trying to gather them together for capture.

The Young Master insisted, catching them alive is best!

Because dog meat needs to be killed fresh to preserve its flavor; that’s the real deal!

Most importantly, the rewards for live captures were higher, so they had to be cautious and couldn’t overdo it.

A horde of tribespeople retreated in terror, fear spreading through the air.

“Clan Leader, our location has been exposed! The Han family came prepared; there are people all around outside; we have no chance to escape this time!”

A trusted aide rushed over, panicked.

The Old Clan Leader gripped his cane, shocked and wanting to stand, but after glancing at the calm silver-haired youth, he reined in his inner turmoil and forced himself to stay composed, saying:

“Escape? What escape? With that esteemed elder here, we will surely keep our Tengu Tribe safe!”

“Gather everyone! Don’t scatter!”

Upon hearing this.

The aide paused for a moment, then nodded, “Yes!”

The Old Clan Leader appeared calm, but inside, he felt a bit uneasy.

After all, having been frightened before, seeing the Han family cultivators at their doorstep made him instinctively want to lead his people to flee. But now, with this esteemed elder present, if they weren’t scared, why should he be?

“Esteemed elder, what should we do now…” the Old Clan Leader asked tentatively.

“Let them come.”

Ye Junlin continued munching on his fruit, looking at the surging Han family cultivators coming from the horizon with a teasing smile.

He aimed to hook the big fish for a one-time catch!

Seeing this, the Old Clan Leader felt reassured.

Having connections with the legendary Sky Devouring Hound Sovereign from the past, this young man must also be an Immortal Sovereign of great caliber.

Not afraid to face the Han family cultivators!

Shouts and screams turned the whole tribe into chaos.

Soon, all the Tengu Tribe people retreated behind the Old Clan Leader, gazing nervously at the cultivators in the sky.

“Strange, why aren’t those damn mutts trying to escape? Didn’t they fight tooth and nail to get away before?”

“Haha, where can they run now? All the exits outside are blocked; they might as well wait here to be caught!”

“True that!”

The Han family cultivators exchanged words, regarding the Tengu people as mere livestock waiting for slaughter.

“These despicable bastards!” Gou Ziqing clenched his fists, glaring with fiery rage.

“Brothers, let’s catch them alive!” roared a small leader.

Immediately, a swarm of Han family cultivators brandished binding ropes or chilling chains, grinning wickedly as they approached the tribespeople below.

“Xiao Dezi, it’s your time to shine.” Ye Junlin signaled.

“Right!”

Canglang Jun understood the intent, realizing he was meant to lead the charge and draw out the big catch behind.

“With me here, who dares to cause trouble?”

An ancient voice boomed across the sky as Canglang Jun stepped forth, confident in the face of the vast number of Han family cultivators.

Then.

Amidst countless disbelieving gazes.

The old man with gray hair donned a set of golden battle armor, with a lifelike dragon head at the center, glimmering with azure light, regal and imposing.

Raising his hand, a mighty-looking battle knife appeared, its blade shimmering with brilliant light, gold dragon-like aura radiating around it.

Fully armed, Canglang Jun’s presence soared to its peak, each piece, including the golden dragon battle knife in hand, exuding a terrifying aura of top-tier Immortal Sovereign artifacts!

“Whoever dares take a step forward, dies!” Canglang Jun declared, pointing the battle knife forward, exuding overwhelming pressure.

Roar~

As he moved, countless golden dragon auras enveloped him, the dragon’s roar ringing out with heart-shaking intensity.

With effects and sounds turned up to eleven, all the Han family cultivators were momentarily stunned.

Holy moly!

Where did this old man come from?

Decked out in top-tier Immortal Sovereign gear—hell, it’s all top-notch!

Just based on this equipment and weapon, in the entire West Ze Immortal Domain, how many would dare to underestimate him besides Immortal Emperors?

Anyone with this kind of background must be an extraordinary Immortal Sovereign!

“Gasp~~~~!!”

The Tengu Tribe members gasped sharply, staring in shock at the armored elder wielding the battle knife.

“He’s so imposing!” Gou Ziqing exclaimed, filled with admiration and longing.

Just with a single roar, he had intimidated the army of cultivators.

Such a scene was something he dreamed of!

“Oh my, that grandpa is even more powerful than I imagined!” Gou Qianyi was dumbfounded.

“Uh,” the Great Mushroom King reacted strangely.

On the surface, it did seem intimidating.

But as someone in the know about Canglang Jun’s past, the Great Mushroom King understood the underlying trick.

Indeed.

That gleaming golden armor and battle knife were all fake!

After all, Canglang Jun’s specialty was to forge treasures that were higher than his own level, and long ago, he had made quite a fortune in the ancient Kunlun Realm by employing this skill, ultimately becoming a notorious nuisance!

Recently, thanks to his granddaughter, Li Ruotong’s assistance, Canglang Jun’s strength had surged rapidly, making him a powerful Immortal Emperor at the ninth level now.

This also meant that his forgery capabilities had improved, now capable of reaching top-tier Immortal Sovereign levels!

Looking at the group of astonished Han family cultivators and feeling the numerous gazes of admiration, Canglang Jun’s heart soared with satisfaction, every pore in his body relaxed as if his spirit was about to float out.

Having been unable to scam due to restrictions, he finally had the chance to flex his talents, now adorning himself in an entire ensemble of top-tier Immortal Sovereign gear!

Although it would take a significant toll on him, the prestige was absolutely worth it!

“Indeed, showing off is quite the thrill…” Canglang Jun secretly mused.
