Chapter 2463: Chapter 2452: Turning the Tide
As Wu Ren quickly approached Ye Chenfeng.
The apparition of Old White Wu Fengxian drifted out from the Soul Hosting Bracelet, directly blocking Ye Chenfeng’s path, emanating a soul fluctuation at the Extreme Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm.
Upon feeling the Extreme Peak soul fluctuations, Wu Ren suddenly halted, his face instantly turning pale as he found himself unable to take another step forward.
The voice of Old White Wu Fengxian rang out calmly, "You should believe his words."
Wu Ren’s face was as white as a sheet as he gazed at Old White Wu Fengxian before him, filled with terror. He could sense the Extreme Peak soul fluctuations, and if this apparition wished to kill him, it would be as simple as snapping one’s fingers.
Suddenly.
Wu Ren realized that Old White Wu Fengxian looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. He carefully recalled, and his eyes suddenly widened to an enormous size, his face full of incredulity.
He finally remembered.
In the headquarters of the Wus, there was a statue of Wu Fengxian and a portrait of him.
The statue and portrait were identical to the person standing before him.
Thinking of Ye Chenfeng’s claim of having some connection with the Wus’ ancestor, Wu Ren began to feel parched. Could this apparition be the ancestor of the Wus, Wu Fengxian?
Wu Ren’s legs were a bit shaky as he forced himself to remain calm, "Why should I believe your words?"
In fact, Wu Ren was already starting to believe, as none of the other sects among the Six Great Hidden Sects could send a powerful being at the Extreme Peak, even if this was only a soul state.
Wu Fengxian’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly recited word by word the cultivation technique Divine Blood Art.
The Divine Blood Art is the supreme technique of the Wus.
Although Wu Ren was qualified to cultivate the Divine Blood Art, he had not learned the complete version. Hearing Wu Fengxian recite the entire Divine Blood Art now, his heart trembled, and his body shivered.
He stood there dazed, almost completely convinced that the person before him was indeed the Wus’ ancestor, Wu Fengxian. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say, and shortly after, he hastily knelt down before Wu Feng, "Ancestor."
Wu Fengxian nodded and said, "Rise, I have some questions for you."
"This young man is my disciple, not an outsider."
Upon hearing that Ye Chenfeng was actually Wu Fengxian’s disciple, Wu Ren’s expression became somewhat unnatural. If rank were to be considered, he would have to call Ye Chenfeng ’Ancestor,’ but calling a kid ’Ancestor’ stuck in his throat, not to mention Ye Chenfeng was at the late stage of the fifth level of the Earth God Realm. Up to now, he didn’t even know Ye Chenfeng’s true power!
Within the Soul Hosting Bracelet, Old Black Jiang Yuntian, sensing Wu Ren’s hesitation, also drifted out from the bracelet, emitting soul fluctuations of the Extreme Peak.
Seeing another apparition emerge, also in the soul state of a powerful being at Extreme Peak, Wu Ren’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest, cold sweat continuously dripping from his forehead. Who was this soul state expert?
Old Black Jiang Yuntian snorted coldly, "Old White, you people of the Wus really lack manners, the rank matters cannot be confused, this boy is also our disciple."
Upon hearing Old Black’s words.
Wu Ren didn’t dare to breathe loudly. Ye Chenfeng was not only Wu Fengxian’s disciple but also this person’s disciple? Who exactly was this person?
Wu Ren cautiously studied Old Black Jiang Yuntian, suddenly finding Old Black familiar too.
The Wus and the Jiangs had always been arch-enemies.
Being arch-enemies, naturally, they knew each other very well. After thinking about it again and again, Wu Ren almost fainted.
He finally remembered seeing an image in a book recording the Jiangs.
The person in the portrait was the ancestor of the Jiangs, Jiang Yuntian, who was once considered a genius alongside Wu Fengxian, and the person and the apparition before him were identical.
Could this person be the ancestor of the Jiangs, Jiang Yuntian?
With the Wus’ ancestor Wu Fengxian and the Jiangs’ ancestor Jiang Yuntian appearing one after the other, Wu Ren’s heart could hardly bear it. He was merely a patriarch of a minor branch of the Wus.
Moreover, Ye Chenfeng turned out to be the joint disciple of Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian? No wonder Ye Chenfeng’s combat power was so formidable, though Wu Ren felt Ye Chenfeng’s cultivation was still somewhat lacking.
Wu Ren’s mind was a mess, filled with numerous questions.
Following another cold snort from Jiang Yuntian, which reached Wu Ren’s ears, he hurriedly said, "Greetings, Senior Jiang."
At this point, Wu Ren had to disregard the grievances between the Wus and the Jiangs. At least for now, it seemed that the relationship between Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian was quite amicable; otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken the same disciple.
After paying respects to Jiang Yuntian.
Wu Ren’s gaze finally fell upon Ye Chenfeng, his heart sighing repeatedly, but rank indeed cannot be messed up.
In terms of rank, he truly had to call Ye Chenfeng ’Ancestor.’
Wu Ren adjusted his posture and called out, "Ancestor."
Although his heart was filled with many questions, Wu Ren had also thought things through; this was undoubtedly a chance, a great opportunity. Perhaps Wu Ren was about to strike fortune, his branch might as well strike fortune along with him.
As long as he carefully accompanied Wu Fengxian and Ye Chenfeng, once Wu Fengxian returned to the Wus, he would certainly gain some merit. Perhaps he might then be able to stay at the Wus’ headquarters indefinitely.
Wu Fengxian nodded, "Many things are too complex, I won’t explain everything to you right now. No one in the Wus knows I’ve returned alive, so I hope you keep it confidential. In the future, I’ll provide you with an opportunity to be included among the core of the Wus."
Indeed.
Indeed, fortune was about to strike.
Wu Ren was extremely excited, his old face flushed with red as he hurriedly said, "Ancestor, whatever orders you have, I will devote myself wholly to fulfilling them. I will definitely not mention your matters to anyone."
Wu Fengxian said, "That’s good, I need to understand the current internal situation of the Wus; who is in charge of the Wus now?"
After calming his emotions, Wu Ren said, "To answer Ancestor, the current patriarch at the Wus’ headquarters is Wu Chengyan."
Wu Chengyan?
Wu Fengxian pondered for a while.
He recalled someone or maybe a little rascal.
When his brilliance shone years ago, there was always a little rascal of four or five years old in the Wus who liked to follow him around.
That little rascal had vowed to surpass him someday.
That little rascal’s name seemed to be Wu Chengyan.
Wu Fengxian smiled nostalgically, not expecting that the old patriarch of the current Wus would be that little rascal from back then.
