Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 591

Staring at the arrogant old man in golden armor, the Han Family cultivators were too scared to make a move.

That overwhelming aura of an Immortal Sovereign-grade artifact was strong enough to make them overlook Canglang Jun’s actual cultivation level.

They all unanimously believed this elder, resembling a war god, was a peerless Immortal Sovereign second only to an Immortal Emperor!

Such a monumental figure, even the Han Family had to treat him with respect!

And what about these small fries?

So the question arose: how on earth could the oppressed Tengu Tribe manage to invite such a big shot to act as their protector?

It didn’t add up!

Could it be…

This old senior had a taste for dog meat?

Thinking this, everyone felt this possibility was becoming more and more likely!

Almost certainty!

The lead middle-aged man, with Immortal Emperor-level cultivation, hesitated before respectfully clasping his hands and saying,

“Honored elder, we mean no offense, please forgive us!”

Canglang Jun cast a condescending glance and arrogantly replied, “Very well, ignorance is no crime; I’m not the kind of person who can’t talk reason.”

Seeing the deadlock was broken, the cultivators sighed in relief.

The middle-aged team leader saw an opportunity and humbly said, “Honored elder, we come by decree of the Young Master of the Tian Shui Han Family to capture the Tengu Tribe; we hope you can facilitate this! You will be richly rewarded afterward!”

They thought invoking the name of the Tian Shui Han Family would make this peerless Immortal Sovereign cautious.

But to their surprise, Canglang Jun scoffed,

“What the hell does that have to do with me?! From now on, I’ll protect this tribe; anyone who dares touch them will be cut down without mercy!”

As he spoke, he raised his battle knife to the sky, its golden glow shooting up into the clouds, surrounded by a noble, imposing golden dragon aura that roared piercingly, shaking the hearts of all who saw it.

This scene made the Han Family cultivators’ scalps go numb, their faces turning grim.

“What a show of power!”

The Tengu Tribe members were stirred, their blood boiling as they looked up to Canglang Jun in admiration.

The old clan leader’s eyes flashed with shock; the domineering demeanor displayed by Canglang Jun even made him a bit convinced.

Ye Junlin’s lips twitched a few times as he muttered, “Give you a stage, and you really are going all out. Your show-off skills are almost rivaling mine!”

I must say, even Ye Junlin admired Canglang Jun’s ability to fake it; every breath and effect was so realistic it could fool anyone.

Even his keen eyes could only catch a hint of it.

Let alone the cultivators below Immortal Emperor level, they must be completely awestruck!

The middle-aged team leader broke out in a light sweat, suppressing his retreating thoughts, gritting his teeth and saying,

“Honored elder, the Tian Shui Han Family is the current imperial family; if you don’t care about the Young Master, at least consider his father!”

“You should know he’s a Sword Path supreme, creator of the Divine Sky Wind Thunder Sword Technique, mighty and renowned as the Wind Thunder Sword Emperor!”

“You’ve heard of the Wind Thunder Sword Emperor, right?”

Upon hearing this,

Canglang Jun’s expression flickered with surprise.

Everyone knew that to self-proclaim as a Sword Emperor, there’s one hard condition to meet: you must have your own Sword Intent.

But most cultivators don’t realize there’s a second, equally important requirement: you must have condensed your own Sword Heart!

This he learned from his granddaughter.

The ranks of Sword Hearts, from lowest to highest, are: No Trace Sword Heart, Heavenly Sword Heart, Invincible Sword Heart, and Supreme… Eternal Sword Heart!

A sword cultivator lacking a condensed Sword Heart cannot strictly be called a Sword Emperor!

This is a very strict rule in the Immortal Realm.

So, when Canglang Jun heard that the Young Master’s father was an actual Sword Emperor, it became hard for him to maintain his calm.

Noticing the change in Canglang Jun’s expression, the middle-aged team leader felt reassured, a smug smile creeping onto his face as he said meaningfully:

“Honored elder, since you understand, please step aside and don’t hinder us. If this takes too long, not only will Young Master Han blame you, but the Wind Thunder Sword Emperor, who values him greatly, will also come looking for answers.”

“Can you handle the consequences?”

The last words emphasized a heavy warning.

The Han Family cultivators smirked, growing bold.

They didn’t believe that invoking the name of the Wind Thunder Sword Emperor wouldn’t make this old guy budge!

Even if you are a peerless Immortal Sovereign, so what?

Faced with the mighty Wind Thunder Sword Emperor, you’re just an ant!

Canglang Jun started to feel a bit intimidated, but suddenly realized, a surge of anger welled up inside him.

What the hell am I scared of?!

My granddaughter is currently a huge figure at the Immortal Emperor level, and I have Senior Ye backing me up! Why should I fear you?!

“Ha, do you think I’m a pushover?! Don’t even think about the Young Master of the Han Family; even if the Wind Thunder Sword Emperor were here, I’d dare to slice him in half!”

Canglang Jun pointed his battle knife directly, his posture domineering as he spat the words like thunder, shaking the very heavens and earth with his booming voice.

“What!?”

Hearing such arrogant claims, the Han Family cultivators were left dumbfounded, their hearts racing.

Slice the Wind Thunder Sword Emperor in half? You really dare to say that, old man!

At this point, everyone was left utterly speechless, staring at Canglang Jun as if he were a crazy old coot.

Just then, a very high-pitched voice laced with anger came from the clouds, “How dare you insult my father!”

Whoa~

The pitch-black night sky suddenly lit up like day, accompanied by a radiant glow cascading down as a golden flying chariot burst forth from the clouds, exuding an unmatched noble aura.

In front of the chariot were two pure-bred Xiezhi pulling it, stepping on seven-colored clouds, their eyes gleaming with divine light, looking extraordinarily majestic.

Standing with hands clasped behind his back atop the chariot was a young man in brocade, wearing a golden feather crown, exuding arrogance; he also bore a black cloak that fluttered in the wind.

From his posture, he radiated a high-and-mighty vibe.

At this moment, those sharp eyes were particularly dark and heavy, fixated on Canglang Jun, brimming with barely concealed fury.

From the West Ze Immortal Domain’s elite second-generation, the Han Family Young Master, Han Xing!

“It’s him, it’s the Young Master…” Many cultivators widened their eyes in surprise.

The middle-aged team leader broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bowed, saying, “Subordinate pays respects to the Young Master!”

“We all pay respects to the Young Master!!!”

The Han Family cultivators didn’t dare slack off, hurriedly offering their greetings.

“He’s the Han Family Young Master!” The Tengu Tribe members were both shocked and enraged, expressions of loathing all over their faces.

This person had a fondness for dog meat, bringing the Tengu Tribe to such a state!

To say they didn’t hate him would be a lie!

Behind Han Xing’s chariot followed a group of handpicked Han Family elites, led by four top-tier offerings whose auras were vast as the sea, all at the Immortal Sovereign level.

These four Immortal Sovereign offerings had icy expressions and cold gazes, positioned around the chariot, always protecting Han Xing.

It’s hard to imagine that those elusive Immortal Sovereign figures would willingly take on a bodyguard role, and four at that!

This shows just how much importance the Young Master of the Han Family held, and how much his father, the Wind Thunder Sword Emperor, valued him!

Han Xing, full of rage, questioned, “Old man, who gave you the guts to publicly say you’d slice my father in half?”

Thanks to an earlier prediction by a shameless oracle, he knew the Tengu Tribe’s hiding place, so he dispatched a large group of cultivators to capture them, and just for kicks, he came to witness a good show and see who was slacking off.

As a result, the old coot’s arrogant words made him so furious he was nearly spitting blood, which is why he came to take care of things personally.

His father was the greatest figure in his mind, and he wouldn’t let some clueless old coot insult him!

Canglang Jun secretly rejoiced.

Well, well, well, looks like I’ve hooked a big fish!
