Chapter 258 – Just Kill Yourself As Atonement, I Was Too Naive

Many had learned of Chu Kuangren's visit to the Shang clan.

Even some Sages were paying attention to the development of this issue. When Chu Kuangren arrived at the Shang clan, multiple Sage spiritual thoughts followed behind.

Most of them were Sages from the Scarlet Phoenix Domain.

They were chatting with each other via their spiritual thoughts.

“I suppose after the Murong clan, it's Shang clan's turn for Chu Kuangren to make a big fuss at. I wonder if the Shang clan will manage to survive this time.”

“Who knows.”

“This Chu Kuangren is a bit too much. I hope the Shang clan's Sage can teach him a lesson.”

“Although his actions are brazen, he always had a reason for his action. With the deaths of so many from the Horizon Wing Sect, it's quite understandable that he's here as Sect Leader to ask for some sort of repayment. What else can we say about this?”

Many people knew what happened at the Ancient Battlefield.

As long as they were willing, it would take no trouble for them to find out who it was that caused the million-unit Tormented Army to be unleashed.

There were Sages who carried the same att.i.tude as the Shang clan too — that a few deaths from the Horizon Wing Sect were just a small matter.

However, if Chu Kuangren wanted to fight to their deaths over a small matter like this, what else could they do?

The Shang clan was the one at fault here, and Chu Kuangren's actions were justified as well. So even if some other Sages wanted to find faults with him, they had no excuse to do so.

Inside the Shang clan.

Chu Kuangren walked past countless Shang clan disciples who looked combat-ready and had weapons armed with him. He eventually arrived before the Shang Clan Leader and said calmly, “My name is Chu Kuangren, and I'm here for a visit.”

The moment those words dropped, an immeasurably violent surge of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme swept out in all directions.

As that Daoist Rhyme was too overpowering, the surrounding Shang clan disciples were forced to lie on the ground, immobilized before they could even react.

“My apologies, I don't really like it when people bear arms against me,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

At that, the Shang Clan Leader's expression changed. “Chu Kuangren, what is your intention for coming to the Shang clan today!”

“I'll get to the point then. Because Shang Han released the million-unit Tormented Army, he has caused the affiliate force of my Black Heaven Sect, the Horizon Wing Sect to suffer heavy casualties. On this account, I think I'll have to settle this matter with you anyhow.” Chu Kuangren's tone was as cold as ice.

Then, he looked at the Shang Clan Leader. “You must be Shang Han's father. Since it's the parents' fault for failing to educate their children, you can kill yourself for atonement then.”

The crowd went into an uproar at those words.

Kill himself as atonement?

Chu Kuangren wanted the dignified clan leader to kill himself as atonement?

“Chu Kuangren, don't you be too brazen here. The Horizon Wing Sect is just but an honorable orthodoxy and they've only suffered a few deaths. Yet as if killing our Young Emperor is not enough, you now want our Clan Leader to kill himself as atonement too? Isn't that too brutal! ”

One of the elders stepped out and yelled.

When Chu Kuangren heard that, he shot him a glare and raised his hand to activate the Gluttonous Devouring Technique. The elder was immediately drawn to him with his neck grabbed by Chu Kuangren.

Everyone was so shocked that they erupted their Daoist Rhymes and locked them onto Chu Kuangren. They may attack at any time.

“Just a few deaths? Sixteen thousand and eight hundred lives are just but a few deaths to you people? Shang clan, you're quite bras.h.!.+”

Chu Kuangren simply clenched his finger and unleashed a terrifying Daoist Rhyme that shattered that elder's bones and muscles, ending his life on the spot. He then absorbed that elder's corpse into the Avarice Dimension and refined him.

“You arrogant fool, how dare you kill one of our own before us!”

“Do you really want to go to war!”

The elders stared daggers at Chu Kuangren, but Chu Kuangren merely stood there, calm and without fear.

“What's the point of talking so much? Why don't you take a step forward instead?”

Chu Kuangren's gaze swept through the crowd. Although the elders looked aggressive and were all judging him, none dared to step out, let alone face him.

His words had angered the elders so much that their face was red with rage. Despite that, no one dared step out to face him.

They were too afraid of Chu Kuangren!

“Chu Kuangren, will this matter end if I were to kill myself as atonement?” the Shang Clan Leader asked in a deep voice.

“Besides that, the Horizon Wing Sect has constructed a cemetery near Sunsoil City, where the people who fought and died from the million-unit Tormented Army were laid to rest. I want the Shang clan's Sage to go there personally and stand guard over that place for the next one hundred years!”

The moment those words were spoken, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the Shang clan. A gray-haired elder was slowly walking out with powerful Sage Daoist Rhyme swirling around his body.

That person was the Shang clan's Sage!

“So you want me to stand guard for those mere ants for the next one hundred years?”

The Shang clan's Sage asked coldly.

Chu Kuangren merely raised his eyes and glared at him. “Watch your mouth. Those people were heroes of the Horizon Wing Sect and are not mere ants.”

“They're all the same to me!”

The Shang clan's Sage roared as his horrifying Sage Daoist Rhyme continued to spread everywhere like the waves.

“In my eyes, they're the same as insects. And you want me to stand guard over a group of ants for one hundred years!”

“Chu Kuangren! You've done it now! You've undoubtedly humiliated me!”

The Shang clan's Sage was boiling mad.

He was a Sage!

A being that was above millions of living creatures, and he was proud and arrogant by nature. However, Chu Kuangren now wanted him to stand guard over a group of mere ants?

If that was not humiliating him, then what was?

The Sages who were secretly watching the situation unfold were stunned as well. They did not expect Chu Kuangren to make such demands at all.

It was too difficult for a Sage to accept.

“I only have these two demands. One, Shang Han's father must kill himself to atone for his son's sins. Two, the Shang clan's Sage must stand guard over the fallen heroes for one hundred years.”

“Impossible!”

The Shang clan's Sage roared.

Chu Kuangren went silent for a while before he sighed and said, “First of all, I don't want any money or riches as compensation. Secondly, I don't demand that you give away any of your territories as well. I've tried to communicate with you properly. All I'm seeking is justice for those who had fallen and that includes the innocents that were dragged into this mess. I initially figured that you would agree…”

“But right now, I think I'm too naive.”

“A debt incurred with blood must always be paid in blood! I hope you won't mind… That I go on a killing rampage today!”

At those words, the Sword-based Daoist Rhyme that was surging around him became more violent and domineering. Soon, it swept through the entire Shang clan, and within it was his bone-chilling killing intent as well!

Everyone in the Shang clan felt a chill run down their spine.

A great battle erupted instantly!

Knowing that Chu Kuangren was not easy to defeat, the Shang clan's Sage made the first move!

He let out a fist attack that erupted with an overbearing Sage Daoist Rhyme!

Chu Kuangren took a defensive stance with his sword and blocked that attack. When the two energies collided, shockwaves erupted and sent the surrounding Shang clan disciples who were not strong enough flying.

“All the disciples below the Battle Monarch realm, retreat and leave this area at once!”

The Shang Clan Leader ordered.

He had investigated some of Chu Kuangren's abilities and knew that his opponent possessed powerful techniques such as the Gluttonous Devouring Technique. Fighting him head-on in a group battle was ineffective to him since the ordinary disciples would only serve as unnecessary casualties.

They might even end up as 'food' for him to restore his spiritual power as well.

“Activate the Great Shang Clan Formation!”

The Shang Clan Leader ordered loudly.

A series of extremely mysterious Daoist runes then circulated on the ground, and a surge of energy, similar to the Battle Monarch Domain but countless times more powerful, suddenly weighed down on Chu Kuangren's body.

“Oh, is this a move that's similar to gravity suppression?”

“Even if that's the case, what can you possibly do to me?”

At the same time, Chu Kuangren's Six Supreme Foundation Levels within his body radiated with dazzling brilliance. He then channeled the surging spiritual power that circulated within his body to resist the suppression of that formation technique.
