Chapter 1550: Chapter 1547: Tail Kuang Chenggong

"Alright, I’ll immediately send someone to delve deeper into this matter."

Ancient Celestial Dragon said, if Chen Tianlong is killed by Kuang Chenggong, wouldn’t he lose a great general? "When General Zhao Zhuo returns, I’ll send him."

Ancient Celestial Dragon trusted Zhao Zhuo’s skills relatively more. Currently, he had reached the Celestial Dao’s Great Perfection Limit. Moreover, this person had both courage and strategy; such an important task must be undertaken by Zhao Zhuo himself.

Soon after, Zhao Zhuo returned to the central command tent, followed by a subordinate who was a scout for investigating the movement of Kuang Chenggong’s army.

"Reporting to Leader Gu, Kuang Chenggong’s army is heading towards a place called Kunlun Mountain, which is only seventy to eighty kilometers from the Capital City. They will likely arrive in half a day," the scout reported.

"Oh? Kunlun Mountain?"

Ancient Celestial Dragon was a person who had seen the world. He had heard about the Kunlun Sect in Kunlun Mountain. It was a place for cultivation. What was Kuang Chenggong going there for?

With this thought, Ancient Celestial Dragon hurriedly said, "General Zhao, I’m giving you a task. Just now, I discussed with Lord Xu and suspect Chen Tianlong is at Kunlun Mountain. This time, Kuang Chenggong is going there to besiege Chen Tianlong, so you need to go and secretly investigate. If it’s true, immediately return to inform us so that we can send troops to rescue."

"Yes, Ancient Celestial Dragon."

Upon hearing it involved Chen Tianlong, Zhao Zhuo did not ask further and agreed directly.

After speaking, without wasting time, Zhao Zhuo took three competent subordinates and began to catch up with Kuang Chenggong’s army, but not openly following them, rather taking smaller paths.

Kuang Chenggong’s army was seen heading northward in a mighty and overwhelming manner towards Kunlun Mountain.

Meanwhile, below Kunlun Mountain, Wu Guangzu had not gone far; Wu Jun, in order to gain favor with Chen Tianlong, intentionally informed Wu Guangzu and Shi Wenlong about Master Wuchen’s plan to kill them to silence them.

Wu Guangzu had no choice but to believe. On that day, they indeed felt the sinister gaze of Master Wuchen.

After an uneasy night’s sleep, they left in a hurry. However, they didn’t really leave but stayed at a hotel at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, waiting for news about Chen Tianlong and his people.

Entering the Immortal Demon Realm was impossible without Master Wuchen opening it; simply going in was impossible without a special Secret Technique, which only Masters Wuchen and Wufa knew.

"Wu, waiting at the foot of the mountain is not a solution. I heard that old Wuchen has entered the Immortal Demon Realm again to loot materials. Should we go up the mountain?" Shi Wenlong, having great respect for Chen Tianlong, felt guilty for leaving without saying goodbye and not being able to help Chen Tianlong.

"Wenlong, it’s best not to go up just yet. I believe in Chen Tianlong; he will be okay." For some reason, Wu Guangzu always trusted Chen Tianlong, believing he couldn’t come to harm.

"Alright, let’s wait a bit more." Shi Wenlong chose a window-side seat, signaling Wu Guangzu to sit there, then called a waiter to order some wine and food, and the two began eating. It was noon now, and outside the sun was blazing. ℯ

The November sky was still clear, making it quite enjoyable drinking small wine while hiding in the hotel.

However, Wu Guangzu couldn’t quite feel this way, as firstly, their purpose for coming was unfulfilled, and they hadn’t successfully completed the trial nor broken through Extreme Dao.

As such, dealing with Kuang Chenggong became an impossibility, especially with this display of Kuang Chenggong’s power, which was enough to shock him.

Even Chen Tianlong couldn’t defeat him, so what chance did he have? He himself admitted that Chen Tianlong was more formidable than him; this was something everyone was aware of.

The reason was simple; Chen Tianlong possessed a heaven-defying weapon, and his own weapon’s activation was uncertain.

Actually, Wu Guangzu was unaware that the Blood Shadow Saber could have been activated long ago; but because no one mentioned his Demonic Possession memory to him, he gradually forgot, forgot the many wronged souls that had perished under the Blood Shadow Saber.

The prerequisites for activating the Blood Shadow Saber had been met all along. If Wu Guangzu had previously forged it, perhaps it would be activated now, and he wouldn’t have to worry about Kuang Chenggong coming after him.

The two continued eating and drinking, their moods shifting between worry and hope. Half an hour quickly passed, and suddenly, rapid hoofbeats were heard from outside.

The hotel owner hurried outside to investigate, seeing dust billowing and a vast crowd on the main road ahead, and was instantly taken aback. Quickly returning to the hotel, he shouted within, "Everyone, don’t go outside; a large army has arrived, and I don’t know what they’re here for—be cautious. They don’t seem friendly."

Sitting nearby, Wu Guangzu frowned and peered outside through the window, recognizing one of the riders he knew all too well.

That rider was none other than Kuang Chenggong, who had nearly killed Chen Tianlong.

Wu Guangzu felt frustrated again. When had Kuang Chenggong left the mountain, and why was he sending troops here?

Kuang Chenggong’s departure was known by almost no one; those present mostly perished, leaving only the Great Protector and the Third Protector, as well as Chen Tianlong, Pure Yang Feifei, and Wu Mengting.

Kuang Chenggong’s departure wasn’t a straightforward path down the mountain, but a direct Sword Flight back to the Capital City in less than two hours, which was why Wu Guangzu and Shi Wenlong, waiting at the mountain base, hadn’t seen him.

Now, Kuang Chenggong’s sudden appearance seemed mystical, but Wu Guangzu thought it was simply a momentary oversight.

"So, it’s that coward Kuang Chenggong. Wasn’t he injured and healing in the Kunlun Sect? How suddenly he shows up leading an army—could he be attacking the Kunlun Sect to seize their territory?"

Shi Wenlong, although aware of the situation, obviously recognized Kuang Chenggong’s ambition—a lust to seize the coveted cultivation ground.

"I don’t quite know either. Could it be Chen Tianlong attained a Golden Core, and Kuang Chenggong secretly descended the mountain with forces to confront him?" Wu Guangzu suggested.

"Hmm, that’s highly possible. Should we go up the mountain?"

Shi Wenlong was somewhat anxious. With only two of them, confronting Kuang Chenggong head-on was certainly impossible. Aside from directly dealing with Kuang Chenggong, his army alone was unbeatable.

"No, let’s see what Kuang Chenggong’s ultimate plan is before climbing the mountain and informing them," Wu Guangzu hesitated to ascend, fearing a lack of opening if Kuang Chenggong planned to ambush Chen Tianlong.

Additionally, climbing too soon might draw attention, alarming them as they hastily ascend unaware, which would be a great defeat.

With this thought, Wu Guangzu decided to observe for a while.

Not long after, Kuang Chenggong led his troop to the mountain’s base, prompting all hotels to shut their doors and windows, aware that the troops might directly overwhelm them.

The troops halted before the mountain; Kuang Chenggong dismounted, standing at the base, curling his lips in a cold sneer, saying, "Chen Tianlong, this time, you won’t escape even with wings."

"Chen Tianlong?"

Wu Guangzu was now at the Great Perfection Limit of the seven stars of the Celestial Dao, immensely powerful; though Kuang Chenggong’s voice wasn’t loud, Wu Guangzu had been focused on his every move, detecting his words: "So, Kuang Chenggong came here to confront Chen Tianlong, confirming Chen Tianlong’s safety, wonderful."

Evidently, Wu Guangzu felt very elated. He didn’t care about Kuang Chenggong’s intent, as he wasn’t particularly concerned with the Kunlun Sect, unlike Chen Tianlong, a bond as close as brothers. Knowing Chen Tianlong was safe brought him peace.
