Both the Ancient Sparrow City Hall and the Bai clan teamed up against Chu Kuangren.
Yet, Chu Kuangren wiped them all out with a single blow, turning the two strongest factions in the city into history.
Predictably, a fight for power would soon land in Ancient Sparrow City. All the other strong forces would fight each other just to secure dominion over the city, but none of those would have anything to do with Chu Kuangren anymore.
He searched the rubles of Bai Manor for some treasures and then left the scene.
Along the way out, no one or forces dared to stop him.
âThis foreigner is terrifying.â
âThatâs the thing. He might be powerful, but he sure caused a scene. The folks from the Holy City wonât simply let him off the hook.â
âThroughout the entire Planquilon Immortal World, no one has been able to live peacefully after offending the Holy City. I bet heâd have to face endless pursuits from now on. Even if heâs a King Immortal Progeny, he would have to face death eventually. Unless he can find himself a powerful backing, like
those immortal orthodoxiesâ¦â
The crowd was engaged in a heated discussion.
However, none caught Chu Kuangrenâs attention.
He brought Lil Fox to an inn in the city.
All the customers left in a hurry when he arrived as they were afraid of getting involved with him and suffering the consequences.
Only the Sword Crown remained in the corner, drinking like nobodyâs business.
Since Chu Kuangren had left one billion spiritual marrows for him in this inn, no one would chase him out for drinking anymore. However, no one took him seriously either.
âJunior, thatâs some scene you caused. A foreigner killing the City Lord? The Holy City wonât simply let you off this time.â
In Planquilon Immortal World, all hundred and eight cities were interconnected, and the strongest of them all was Holy City.
Holy City was the one that governed over the other hundred and seven cities. Even though they usually stayed out of other citiesâ affairs, they could not just sit back and do nothing since Chu Kuangren, a foreigner, had killed the City Lord under their governance.
After all, it was considered an act of provocation to the Holy City.
âItâs fine. Let them come,â Chu Kuangren said. He was not afraid of the threats from the Holy City at all.
âJunior, Holy City has an Immortalâs backing, He might not be interested in daily affairs, but once they get anxious and the Immortal decides to make a move, killing you would be as easy as turning their palms. My suggestion is to find an immortal orthodoxy and ask them for protection,â the Sword
Crown offered Chu Kuangren a piece of advice.
Joining other orthodoxies was one of the major reasons why the foreigners, the ingenious Immortal Progenies, could thrive in the Immortal World.
âIcan recommend you to one, but I hope you will leave my name out of this when you are there,â the Sword Crown said after a slight hesitation.
âYour previous cultivation orthodoxy, Dragonâs Roar Sword Orthodoxy?â
Chu Kuangren looked intrigued. Dragonâs Roar Sword Orthodoxy was one of Planquilon Immortal Worldâs Immortal Orthodoxy, and its cultivators were experts in Sword Dao.
âThe Sword Crown came from that orthodoxy.
âYes. I can recommend you there, but please donât tell them about my location. I donât want to see them now.â
The Sword Crownâs eyes looked bleak when he said that.
He was once unmatched during his time and was a well-known figure that reigned over his generation. Now, he was nothing but a drunkard.
He was ashamed to face his old peers.
Chu Kuangren saw through the Sword Crownâs thoughts, but he was also surprised at the offer. Recommending him to Dragonâs Roar Sword Orthodoxy would risk exposing the Sword Crownâs whereabouts, and it was the Sword Crownâs offer that gave Chu Kuangren the thought.
âSword Crown, I donât need you to recommend me to Dragonâs Roar Sword Orthodoxy, but I do have a question for you. Are you willing to be my follower?â Chu Kuangren asked.
The Sword Crown froze at Chu Kuangrenâs words. If it were in the past, he would have struck the person who asked him that question down with his sword.
He was once the person who stood at the pinnacle of Sword Dao. He was an Immortal!
No one in Planquilon Immortal World was worthy enough for him to turn himself into a follower, let alone a young Immortal Progeny, who was not even an Immortal.
However, the Sword Crown was just a piece of garbage, so getting angry would not help him at all. He looked at Chu Kuangren and said, âIâm just a piece of garbage. I am not worthy of your attention, Junior, let alone be your follower!â
âWhat if I say I can bring you back to the top?â Chu Kuangren said.
His words were like lightning that made the Sword Crownâs heart and body tremble in surprise. The Sword Crown looked at Chu Kuangren in disbelief.
Then, he wore a bitter smile and said, âJunior, why tease me? Iâve sought after all the doctors out there, and even the one who is crowned King of Wonderful Medicine, Chun Fengzi, canât do anything about my injuries.â
If he were not discouraged, the infamous Sword Crown would not stay in a tiny city like the Ancient Sparrow City and become a useless drunkard.
âDonât assume that I am like the others.â
Chu Kuangren raised his hand and water qi started to gather at the tip of his finger. The water qi then transformed into water needles that poked into the Sword Crownâs body.
He guided the water qi around Sword Crownâs body until it reached the wound and injected itself inside.
The look on the Sword Crownâs face changed.
He could feel that his injuries felt a little better.
âH-How is this possible?â
Not even the King of Wonderful Medicine whom he mentioned could do it, yet Chu Kuangren did it with ease.
At that very moment, his eyes glimmered hopefully. He stared at Chu Kuangren and said, âCan you really heal me?â
âIcan!â Chu Kuangren nodded.
He was not loud, but his voice sounded confident.
He might not be able to do it before he got the Emerald Sac Scriptures.
However, given his cognizance and having the Emerald Sac Scriptures now, he could be a Medical Immortal in no time as long as he spent some time studying it.
Then, he would be able to heal the injuries on the Sword Crowd.
âThe Sword Crown pondered for a while after Chu Kuangren assured him. After that, he took a deep breath before he got onto his knees. âIf you can really heal my injuries, I am willing to be your follower.â
No one wanted to be a piece of useless garbage, especially the Sword Crown, who was once an Immortal who stood at the peak.
For the past few years, he looked like he was living a drunken dream, but deep down, he was suffering more than anyone else. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He even tried to take his own life a few times.
Now, Chu Kuangrenâs appearance reignited his ember of hope of returning to the peak, and he ought to seize the opportunity at all cost.
âGreat. Go get yourself some clean clothes first. You look shabby, and you reek of alcohol. I donât want to be embarrassed,â Chu Kuangren said.
The Sword Crowd smiled awkwardly.
Awhile later, the Sword Crown changed into some fresh gray robes and cleaned himself up before he came back to Chu Kuangren.
Gray robes, black hair, grayish beard â the features made the Sword Crown look a lot more lively. He might have some wrinkles on his face, but his features assured that he used to be a handsome man.
âYou look a lot better now.â Chu Kuangren nodded satisfyingly.
âMaster, I canât repay you enough for treating my injuries. I have an Immortal Technique with me, and it is called Thousand Lotus Sword Intent. Please accept it as a token of gratitude.â
âThe Sword Crown now sounded more polite in front of Chu Kuangren. He took out a white jade scroll for Chu Kuangren.
It was the Immortal Technique that he had spent time organizing in the past few days.
Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised at the offer. âYou are giving it to me now instead of when I fully heal you?â
âIve plans to make you my heir, so giving it now or later does not matter anymore,â the Sword Crown said.
âThe Thousand Lotus Sword Intent, the ultimate Immortal Technique created by the ingenious Sword Crown⦠This is going to be interesting. Iâll take it.â
Chu Kuangren did not reject it..
