Miracle Throne

Chapter 100: Conflict breaking out

The Nangong Family was one of the Three Great Families of the Southern Summer Country. Their ancestor was said to be one of the bloodthirsty mushroom haired people. Because they assisted the Southern Summer Country in a war, after the country was founded, they rooted themselves internally. After developing for centuries, they had formed a strong foundation and far reaching influences. They were now one of the most influential families in the country.

The messenger of the Nangong Family visiting this kind of small city, it was without doubt that it would cause a huge stir in countless people.

There was no need to say anything.

They were definitely here for Chu Tian.

Chu Tian hurried over to the Mayor’s Palace.

In the grand hall of the Mayor’s Palace, there were a few dozen Nangong Family bodyguards wearing red armor. They were meticulously surrounding an old man that was around sixty years old. He was wearing a purple robe and holding a dark gold stick. His body was covered in a dull, but fierce aura.

His eyes were not large, but they shined were like torches. It was hard for people to look straight at them.

This old man’s cultivation base was incredibly high, it seemed even higher than Nangong Yi by quite a bit!

Actually in the Awakened Soul Realm, there were three different stages. The higher level the Awakened Soul was, the stronger one would become.

The first layer to the third layer was called the Initial Awakened Soul Realm, it was nicknamed “Void Soul” realm!

The fourth layer to the sixth layer was called the Intermediate Awakened Soul Realm, it was nicknamed “Illustrious Soul” realm!

The seventh layer to the ninth layer was called the Late Awakened Soul Realm, it was nicknamed “True Soul” realm!

Nangong Yi was only at the peak 3rd Awakened Soul Realm and was still in the “Void Soul” realm. The old man from the Nangong Family, it was certain that he had already achieved the “Illustrious Soul” realm!

On the surface it wasn’t that different, but the difference in amount of spirit energy was enormous.

What was most important was the fact that while the old man was the one visiting the Mayor’s Palace, Nangong Yi had taken the initiative to allow the old man sit in the Mayor’s throne. The illustrious Mayor, Nangong Yi, he could only sit in a side position. The difference between the two, it was very obvious.

“Chu Tian has come!”

The guard at the entrance loudly shouted.

A fine handsome youth walked in.

A simple blue robe with a little white fox on his shoulder. An ancient sword on his back, his eyes seemed to glow like the stars. He gave off a calm aura that made people feel impure.

Ding, ding, dang, dang!

A plain ancient bell swung on his waist. Every step he took, it rang several times. The sound it produced seemed to have a certain charm to it. As long as Chu Tian stepped out, he would make everyone turn silent.

The eighteen black robed people stood outside, they didn’t follow Chu Tian in.

Countless eyes gathered onto Chu Tian.

The old man stopped drinking his tea and his torch light eyes slowly swept across. Chu Tian felt a kind of strong pressure fall upon him. He was truly worthy of being an Illustrious Soul Realm Awakened Soul Cultivator. Even without releasing his source spirit, he could still release this kind of pressure.

If it fell upon an ordinary Body Refinement Cultivator, not to mention walking, perhaps even standing would be difficult for him.

Chu Tian paused for a second and then continued forward as if nothing had happened.

Nangong Yi was very satisfied with Chu Tian’s performance as he stood up to introduce him, “Elder Nangong Hai, this young man is Chu Tian. He is the genius I mentioned to you earlier.”

Nangong Hai had a neutral expression as he used a light tone to say, “Nangong Yi speaks very highly of you, is it really true?”

Nangong Yi secretly gave Chu Tian a look.

His meaning was, don’t say anything for now!

Nangong Yi replied for Chu Tian, “Elder, to be frank, the Chu Tian that I normally observe, he is definitely a young man with talent. The Nangong Family is eagerly seeking talent and I think we should reel him in with the guest official position to show that our family is always willing to accept new talent.”

“The Nangong Family guest official position cannot be given whenever someone wants it.” Nangong Hai spoke in a calm manner that made it hard for people to be certain, “Being in the Awakened Soul Realm is a basic requirement. If you aren’t in the Awakened Soul Realm then even if you’re talented, the Nangong Family will not want you. Let alone the fact that he wants us to accept three of them at once? Does he think that the Nangong Family is a common vegetable!”

Chu Tian discovered an issue.

The two of them might have come from the same family, but they were completely unfamiliar with each other. There even seemed to be barriers between them.

Large families were not as united as one imagined. The two of them might be from the Nangong Family, but they were most likely from different branches. They probably even had conflicting interests.

Nangong Yi was about to open his mouth.

“Alright, first let’s not talk about the guest official position!” Nangong Hai had already stood up, as he reproached Nangong Yi in front of everyone, “The main reason I came to South Sky City was to investigate the matter of you contradicting the Ye and Chu Families. Nangong Yi, you should know that the reason the family sent you over to Central State was to let you demonstrate the Nangong Family’s might in the political and military circles.”

“But…..”

“Stop looking for excuses! The family is already very disappointed in you!”

Nangong Yi’s brows wrinkled, “How the family views me, I do not care about. But this young man…..”

Nangong Hai’s expression became very stern, “Do you understand your own mission? You haven’t yielded the results that the family wanted in the Central State and you even dare offend the other large families, creating a grudge between the local families and the Nangong Family. Nangong Yi, because of what you’ve done, the Nangong Family may have lost several strong supporters! Have you even considered the bigger picture?!”

Nangong Yi firmly said, “The local families are only weak clowns, why must the Nangong Family care about giving them face?”

“A just cause finds great support while an unjust cause receives no support, do you understand this logic?” Nangong Hai’s voice became sort of severe, “If you gather talent, then we won’t oppose it. But, don’t forget your mission!”

Nangong Yi was a little angry.

This kind of stiff person, it was simply annoying!

The Ye and Chu Families. The Nangong Family can win over countless families, but could it compare with the value of a single Chu Tian?

Nangong Yi indignantly said, “Elder, your way of doing this is simply dismantling the bridge before crossing. I have already told you all the work this young man has done. Are you still not clear about his talent? Why do you still obstruct him!”

“Obstruct? Humph!” Nangong Hai stared at Chu Tian, “Little brat, I’ll ask you directly, why do you want to become a guest official of the Nangong Family?”

Chu Tian’s brows wrinkled.

He felt that today’s matters would not be simple.

“If you don’t want to say it, then I’ll help you say it. You’ve offended several large families and now you want to find a large umbrella to hide under!” Nangong Hai gave a cold smile as he spoke, “Since you want the Nangong Family to protect you, you should at least show your sincerity. If you swear your loyalty to the Nangong Family, then we’ll consider protecting you. But with this kind of hesitation, how can you expect me to recommend you! If we make you a guest official today and then you leave tomorrow, where would my Nangong Family’s face go?”

What kind of fucking reason was this?

Giving the practice technique to your Nangong Family, it still wasn’t enough for a guest official position?

Even if father truly leaves, your Nangong Family still wouldn’t lose anything!

Chu Tian never had a good nature. Since the Nangong Family disdained him, why would he cling to them, “Since that’s the case, then I don’t want the guest official position.”

“Young man, you do have talent, but your methods are wrong.” Nangong Hai impolitely said, “How about this, I’ll accept you as an honorary disciple of the Nangong Family and take you away from the Central State area. This way you won’t need to fear the revenge from those families and Nangong Yi can also stop provoking them because of you. This method is the best for everyone.”

Honorary disciple?

Fuck your honorary disciple!

Chu Tian was quite angry!

What did a honorary disciple count for? It didn’t count for shit. A trivial honorary disciple of an elder, there would be no way he would receive the protection of the Nangong Family. Instead he would be limited, even becoming a puppet.

This old dog had evil intentions. He clearly wanted father to stay by his side and become a living dictionary for him to squeeze value of out!

Do you think I, Chu Tian am an idiot?

Nangong Hai didn’t even let him argue, “You, come with me right now!”

Nangong Yi angrily said, “I don’t agree!”

“Nangong Yi, are you a member of the Nangong Family? I ask you to remember your status, you still don’t have the status to talk back to this elder yet!” Nangong Hai coldly looked at Nangong Yi, “No one goes against the decisions I make!”

The situation had developed to this point.

This was something Nangong Yi hadn’t thought of.

When Nangong Hai gave the order to his bodyguards to directly take Chu Tian away.

The entire Mayor’s Palace suddenly violently shook. A terrifying pressure came from above South Sky City.

Nangong Hai stroked his white moustache and coldly said, “Who, dares to provoke my Nangong Family!”

After he finished, he shot out of his seat and turning into light as he rushed out of the hall.

In the sky.

The clouds kept changing as violent wind blew. A cruel aura filled the horizon and the entire space was covered with a strong pressure.

Everyone revealed expressions of shock!

This was obviously the aura of a fierce ancient beast!

Was it possible to have this kind of fearsome fierce beast in South Sky City?

At this time, an incomparably giant golden peng slowly flew towards South Sky City.

“What demon beast is that!”

Nangong Yi and Nangong Hai both saw the golden peng and their eyebrows narrowed at the same time.

The golden giant peng was a powerful level two demon beast, however its strength could only reach the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer. It also was an extinct ancient beast, so it was impossible for it to release such a strong aura.

“Everyone quickly look!”

“There is someone on the back of the golden peng!”

The South Sky City crowd was in an uproar, as they all sucked in a cold breath.

On the powerful and prestigious golden peng stood a white robed youth, he didn’t seem to be older than twenty. He stood with both hands in front of him as he walked across the large peng. His eyes made him seem like a monster, giving off a very imposing feel.

The impact caused by this scene was too strong. Could there be someone this strong in the world?

The ancient fierce monster aura was being released from the person!

Nangong Hai could feel the opponent’s aura. To be able to release this kind of pressure, it had to be an expert of the Illustrious Soul Realm. He revealed an angry expression, “No matter who it is, to dare cause a disturbance in the Nangong Family’s territory, how could I tolerate this?”

With a loud roar.

Nangong Hai release massive amounts of flame coloured spirit energy. This spirit energy was completely different from normal people’s spirit energy. It seemed like dense liquid flowing from the body as it released heat, it was very threatening.

Magma Source Spirit?

Nangong Hai was truly worthy of being from the Nangong Family. Having a pure fire source spirit and being able to turn his spirit energy into magma, he had strong destructive might.

Nangong Hai’s body was covered in the magma and the size of his body increased by several times, until he became a fire giant.

“Ha, ha, ha!”

“I’ve long heard of the Nangong Family’s famous «Burning the Heavens Art». Today I’ve come to ask for some advice!”

The young man jumped and fell from the back of the golden peng. He released his spirit energy and a fierce wolf appeared behind him. This wolf was very big with jet black body that was like jade. Its four paws was covered in flames and its eyes were like torches. There was also two giant dragon wings sticking out of his ribs.

That terrifying fierce beast pressure everyone felt, it was being released by the source spirit.

Nangong Hai and the monstrous young man exchanged blows three-four times in the air. Fire filled the air and wild wind blew, unexpectedly they were evenly matched.

Nangong Hai’s heart filled with amazement. This young man wasn’t even twenty years old and his cultivation base was this high. Even in the strong Nangong Family, this kind of genius was rare!

“Ha, ha, ha! Truly worthy of being a Nangong Family Intermediate Soul Realm Illustrious Soul expert!” This monstrous young man became bolder as the battle continued. Unexpectedly, he was able to get the upper hand. Suddenly, his source spirit inflated and covered his body. The giant wolf came to life and its wings flapped as he rushed toward Nangong Hai.

“God Wolf’s Heavenly Raid!”

“Heaven Burning Fist!”

The magma covering Nangong Hai’s body suddenly seethed in excitement as a fist shot out into the sky. The two strong powers collided together and several houses in South Sky City was lit on fire. The surrounding began to run in panic.

It had been a hundred years since South Sky City had a fight of this scale!

These two people were too strong!

The monstrous youth was sent flying several meters, it was obvious he suffered light injuries. Blood began to fall from the side of Nangong Hai’s mouth, the injuries he suffered were clearly more serious. Their cultivation was around the same, but the monstrous youth’s source spirit was clearly stronger!

“I recognize him!”

“Dragon Winged Demonic Flame Wolf!”

“This is the Dragon Winged Demonic Flame Wolf!”

“This person is one of Central State’s Four Young Masters, Heavenly Wolf Young Master, Ye Tianlang!”

Everyone stared at each other in amazement. No wonder this person was so strong, he was actually one of the famous Central State Four Young Masters. He was the third placed Heavenly Wolf Young Master, Ye Tianlang!
