Chapter 69: Chen Wangu vs. the Two Patriarchs of Qingfeng Sacred Land

“Mhm. Daddy missed you two to death.”

With fatherly affection written all over his face, Lu Xunxian crouched down and pulled Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun into his arms.

At that moment, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun noticed Chen Wangu standing nearby, and asked curiously,

“Grandpa Chen, why are you here?”

They were hardly unfamiliar with Chen Wangu. In fact, the Twelfth-Grade Spirit Armor they were currently wearing had been given to them by him.

“Of course Uncle Chen came because he missed you two.”

“Come on, let Uncle Chen give you a hug.”

Chen Wangu made as if to step forward and hug Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun, but the two little ones turned their heads away at once.

“No. We only want Daddy to hug us. We don’t want Uncle Chen to.”

Instantly, Chen Wangu felt awkward beyond words, while Xu Ruoshan at the side could no longer hold back his laughter.

Seeing this, Chen Wangu shot Xu Ruoshan a glare.

“What are you laughing at?”

“I just thought of something happy.”

Xu Ruoshan tried his best to suppress his laughter, but after holding it in for a while, he still failed and burst out laughing again.

Chen Wangu’s face turned green and pale by turns. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly grew grave, and he turned to look westward.

Two figures were rushing over from that direction at great speed. Before long, they came to a stop outside Myriad Dao Academy.

They were the Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch who had come from Qingfeng Sacred Land.

After arriving outside Myriad Dao Academy, the Second Patriarch, Shen Jinbing, looked toward the Third Patriarch, Gu Jixiao. Gu Jixiao immediately understood, then looked toward Myriad Dao Academy and spoke,

“Daoist Friend Xu, please come out so that we may speak.”

No matter what, Xu Ruoshan was still a cultivator at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, so the two of them naturally intended to observe courtesy before resorting to force. If Xu Ruoshan refused to cooperate and hand over Fu Qitian, then it would not be too late to act afterward.

With that, Gu Jixiao directly unleashed the terrifying aura of the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

As Gu Jixiao’s aura erupted, the cultivators who had come to watch the birth of the Immortal Beast all wore shocked expressions. They clearly had not expected that merely coming to observe a tribulation would also let them witness an event of this magnitude.

Still, none of them dared move too close. Instead, they all retreated to a safer distance so that if a fight broke out later, they would at least still have a chance to escape.

Hearing Gu Jixiao’s words, Xu Ruoshan frowned slightly and was about to go out when Luo Qianxue stopped him.

Before long, Xu Ruoshan learned from Luo Qianxue that the two were Patriarchs of Qingfeng Sacred Land and had come for Fu Qitian. At once, he could not help feeling a headache coming on.

“Senior Lu, what do you think?”

Xu Ruoshan looked at Lu Xunxian with some hesitation.

He could naturally sense that the two people outside were both at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm. Qingfeng Sacred Land had clearly come prepared.

If he rashly made a move, he feared he would not be their match.

Before Lu Xunxian could say anything, Chen Wangu thumped his chest and stepped forward first.

“Old Lu, it just so happens that I haven’t fought anyone in a long time. Let those two serve as practice for me.”

Chen Wangu was powerful to begin with, and on top of that, he had some connections in higher places and had been fortunate enough to obtain an Immortal Artifact. So dealing with two Peak Saint Emperor Realm Patriarchs was still barely within his capabilities.

Moreover, Chen Wangu also wanted to test where his limits lay. He could not beat Lu Xunxian or the Yellow Sand Saint Emperor, but surely he could not lose to two Patriarchs from Qingfeng Sacred Land as well, could he?

“In that case, I’ll trouble you with it.”

Lu Xunxian did not refuse. He simply nodded.

In the next instant, Chen Wangu shot into the sky and arrived before the two Patriarchs of Qingfeng Sacred Land in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jinbing looked at Chen Wangu and frowned slightly. He naturally knew Chen Wangu’s identity, but he was curious why Chen Wangu would appear here.

Yet from the surging battle intent on Chen Wangu’s body, it was obvious that Chen Wangu had not come with good intentions.

“Daoist Friend Chen, this is a matter between us and Myriad Dao Academy. Are you truly going to interfere?”

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion was powerful, and Chen Wangu in particular was not someone they wished to make an enemy of unless absolutely necessary.

Hearing that, Chen Wangu could not help laughing loudly.

“How interesting. Who on the entire Tiansheng Continent does not know that Xu Ruoshan, the Headmaster of Myriad Dao Academy, is my closest friend?”

“His affairs are my affairs. If you have something to say, then say it to me.”

Shen Jinbing and Gu Jixiao immediately twitched at the corners of their brows.

Since when had such a thing ever happened? Why had they never heard of it?

Still, they forcibly suppressed the unrest in their hearts and took a deep breath to calm themselves.

“Daoist Friend Chen, Fu Qitian offended my Qingfeng Sacred Land and slaughtered a subordinate force under my Qingfeng Sacred Land.”

“We have received news that Fu Qitian is currently inside Myriad Dao Academy.”

“As long as he is handed over, we will leave at once.”

Shen Jinbing believed that his words had been sufficiently tactful. They preserved Chen Wangu’s dignity while also maintaining Qingfeng Sacred Land’s authority.

After speaking, Shen Jinbing intended to enter Myriad Dao Academy together with Gu Jixiao to search for Fu Qitian.

But to their surprise, Chen Wangu showed no intention whatsoever of stepping aside. There was even a trace of mockery on his face.

“I do not recall ever saying that I would let you pass.”

“Today, this Venerable One will protect Myriad Dao Academy. Leave at once. Otherwise, do not blame me for showing no mercy.”

With that, Chen Wangu directly brought out his Immortal Artifact. It was a long spear that radiated terrifying cold. The instant it appeared, the temperature within ten thousand li plummeted sharply, and layers of frost even began to form.

All around, the cultivators watching could not help sucking in cold breaths.

They had only come to watch a tribulation, yet they had somehow ended up witnessing Chen Wangu battle two Patriarchs of Qingfeng Sacred Land.

This trip had been worth it!

Seeing this, Shen Jinbing and Gu Jixiao’s expressions grew incomparably gloomy. The two exchanged a look, and in the next instant, they chose without hesitation to strike first!

In barely the blink of an eye, the two of them attacked from Chen Wangu’s left and right, forming a pincer attack.

But Chen Wangu showed not the slightest fear and instead burst into hearty laughter.

“Interesting. I only hope the two of you can give this Venerable One a satisfying fight!”

With that, Chen Wangu became entangled in battle with the two of them.

As the Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch of Qingfeng Sacred Land, Shen Jinbing and Gu Jixiao were naturally not to be underestimated. And after seeing Chen Wangu bring out an Immortal Artifact first, they too followed suit and summoned Immortal Artifacts of their own.

Now that all three sides possessed Immortal Artifacts, it would come down to whose strength was greater.

In the distance, Lu Xunxian watched the scene with a calm expression.

“Senior Lu, do you think Chen Wangu can win?”

Unable to see through the situation, Xu Ruoshan looked somewhat worried for Chen Wangu and asked.

“It should not be a problem. They are not Chen Wangu’s match.”

With strength far beyond the Saint Emperor Realm, Lu Xunxian could naturally tell the situation at a glance.

At the current rate, Chen Wangu’s victory was only a matter of time.

That was, of course, on the condition that no one else intervened.
