Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws-Novel

Chapter 673: The Last Scroll, Zhan Hongying Joins the Black Heaven Sect

Chu Kuangren was speechless to see the Emperors around him treating him so friendly. Their sudden change of behavior was just too quick.

‘Seems like that the identity of a Heavenly Tormentor is quite useful.’

After that, he activated the Sealing Sword Formation using the Emperor Weapons as the formation’s core and added the remnants of the previously destroyed sword formation to restore its sealing capabilities to full power!

“Alright, it’s time for me to leave.”

Chu Kuangren said.

Then, he left the Purgatory Forest with Lan Yu and the others.

As she watched him leave, Heavenly Imperial Su started to ponder before calling Great Emperor Hua Xing over. She said, “Tell me everything about this person. The more detailed the better.”

“Of course.” Great Emperor Hua Xing nodded slightly and started telling her everything he and the others knew about Chu Kuangren.

…

Somewhere nearby the Purgatory Forest.

Chu Kuangren and the others found the critically injured Zhan Hongying who was dragged away from the battle by her demonic wolf. After he managed to save her life using a wisp of water qi and his physician skill, she was brought back to the Black Heaven Sect to be treated.

Two days later.

At the Black Heaven Sect’s Marrow Cleansing Pool.

A baby-faced woman with a great figure was soaking in the pool. After a while, her brows moved a little as she woke up and looked at her surroundings in confusion. “What place is this?”

“Howl…”

A howl suddenly rang from beside her.

A demonic wolf jumped out from the nearby woods.

At the same time, a woman in white robes walked out. Looking at the woman in the pool, she said, “You’re finally awake.”

“You’re… Lan Yu?”

Zhan Hongying was a little surprised when she saw Lan Yu. After recalling what she saw before fainting, she more or less had an idea as to what happened to her.

“Brother Chu saved my life.”

“Yeah.”

Lan Yu waved her sleeves, revealing some clothes and a mask by the edge of the pool. She then told Zhan Hongying, “Master brought you back to treat your wounds with the water qi from this Marrow Cleansing Pool. Here are your belongings.”

“Wait, you said Brother Chu treated my injuries. Doesn’t that mean…”

Zhan Hongying’s face turned red when she looked down at her naked body.

Seemingly having guessed her thoughts, Lan Yu assured her. “Don’t misunderstand. The treatment doesn’t require you to be nude. It was after being treated that you were placed into this pool, and I was the one who took off your clothes. I just didn’t expect the Ashura Tribe’s Princess to have a babyface, which is kind of… cute.”

Zhan Hongying’s mouth twitched. “I hate it the most when being told that I’m cute. If it were someone else, I would’ve bashed them across the jaw!”

It was her baby face that made her seem non-threatening, and that was why she opted to wear a mask. Otherwise, she would not be taken seriously by her opponent if she taunted them with her baby face.

Back in the Ashura Tribe, among the people who made fun of her because of her face, nine out of ten of them were beaten up so badly that their parents could not recognize them.

Zhan Hongying had a sorrowful look in her eyes when she thought about the Ashura Tribe.

Lan Yu fell silent upon noticing the change in her mood. She then told her, “Alright, come on. My Master wants to see you.”

Zhan Hongying nodded, stood up, and put on her clothes.

Inside the Towering Heaven Palace.

Chu Kuangren was sorting through the loot he obtained from his battle in the Demonic Realm.

This time, the treasures he got were no small amount.

Other than the various demonic ores and demonic potions, he also obtained a large amount of rare demonic beast corpses. Those corpses were great research materials to him as there were a few species of immemorial and archaic ancient beasts among them.

Besides that, he had also found a black scroll inside one of the Demon Emperor’s Yin and Yang Ring. It was the final scroll in a series of Emperor Techniques that he and the Seven Emotions Sect had been looking for!

An Emperor Technique known as the Infatuating Musical Score was recorded in that scroll.

Similar to the Eight Celestial Demonic Chord, it was a Guqin Dao Emperor Technique.

It represented the emotion of… obsession!

Chu Kuangren mastered that technique within a short time.

At this point, he had mastered all the nine Emperor Techniques recorded in all the nine scrolls. The next thing to do would be to combine them and reveal their true form.

Speaking of which, Chu Kuangren was excited about it.

After all, this would very likely be a cultivation technique that surpassed the level of Emperor Techniques, and he was extremely curious about what kind of technique it was.

For one, it could not be an Esoteric Technique.

That was because an Esoteric Technique was a technique developed according to each cultivator’s Dao, which meant it was unique to each person. This was not something that could be learned or copied by others.

If it was not an Esoteric Art, then it should be a level above the Emperor Techniques.

The only explanation would be the rumored Immortal Techniques!

“If it truly is an Immortal Technique, then it won’t be a simple task to merge the nine great Emperor Techniques into one. Even with my current level of understanding, it’ll probably take quite a while to do it,” Chu Kuangren murmured.

He would have to go into closed-door meditation for eight or ten days at least.

At this moment, the communication compass at his waist vibrated.

It was Lan Yu.

She was notifying him that Zhan Hongying had woken up.

“Let’s see her then.”

Chu Kuangren sighed.

Honestly speaking, he was quite sympathetic to Zhan Hongying’s situation.

All because of a promise, the Ashura Tribe had guarded the Demonic Realm for tens of thousands of years, and they suffered one disaster after another.

Now, their whole tribe had been wiped out, making Zhan Hongying the last survivor.

Black Heaven Sect, inside the Longevity Hall.

Zhan Hongying, who was wearing her mask at that time, bowed when she saw Chu Kuangren. “Thank you for saving my life, Brother Chu.”

Chu Kuangren shook his head and replied, “The Ashura Tribe has contributed so much to the Firmament Star. Compared to that, saving you is just a small matter to me. It was a shame that I was in closed-door meditation at that time and couldn’t save the Ashura Tribe.”

“You’re not to be blamed for the calamity that has befallen my tribe, Brother Chu. I’ll certainly take revenge against the ones responsible!” Zhan Hongying uttered in rage.

“The Demonic Realm Portal has been resealed. As for the Seven Demon Emperors, I’ve killed six of them. I believe that’s already enough to honor the memories of your fallen tribe members.”

“No, that’s not enough. The real culprit still hasn’t been captured yet!”

“The real culprit? Tell me more.”

Chu Kuangren frowned a bit.

‘Looks like there is more to this.’

“When I returned to my tribe, the Demonic Realm’s forces still had not descended to our realm. However, my tribe members were already killed. I saw a…”

Zhan Hongying then told him everything that happened before the invasion.

Chu Kuangren pondered after hearing what she said. “Someone else wiped out the Ashura Tribe and destroyed the sword formation I left there! And it’s only one person as well. He or she must be an Emperor at least to do this.”

His Sealing Sword Formation was impossible to break unless an Emperor did it.

Was it an Emperor from the Demonic Realm?

Chu Kuangren’s Emperor Thoughts arose and came to the Purgatory Forest, where he entered the void and carefully observed the sword formation within.

Following that, he immediately deployed his Spatial Conveyor Skill.

He reached out and grabbed one of the sword formation’s swords across a distance of millions of kilometers away.

Placing his sword hand sign across that sword, he sensed a faint surge of freezing qi fluctuation on it. “Freezing qi… Was the person who attacked the sword formation an expert in Frost-type Dao? Hm. Emperors that specialize in Frost-type Dao…”

Although there were a few Emperors in Firmament Star who were masters in Frost-type Dao, he did not have sufficient information to narrow down who the suspect was.

“I shall investigate this matter. I won’t let the Ashura Tribe members die in vain.” Chu Kuangren kept that sword and said to Zhan Hongying seriously.

“You have my thanks, Brother Chu.”

“So, what do you plan to do now?”

“Now that I’m homeless, I wonder if the Black Heaven Sect would mind having another mouth to feed? But I’ll certainly do anything to help out as long as it’s within my capability to do so,” Zhan Hongying said.

“Oh, you want to join the Black Heaven Sect?”

“That’s right.”

“Ha, very well! My Black Heaven Sect shall welcome you with open arms.”

Chu Kuangren laughed.

Zhan Hongying was a sky-pride second only to him by strength on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard. Besides, in this era of Great Dharma Emergence, she had a great chance of becoming an Emperor.

Hence, Chu Kuangren had no reason to decline the offer of a future Emperor to join his Black Heaven Sect.
