Chapter 465: Challenge (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“The Southern Mountain’s City is just ahead.”

On the spirit ship.

Zhou Mubai pointed at a city pass at the end of his vision.

Compared to the Linwu Immortal City, the Southern Mountain’s City was undoubtedly much smaller. But even so, it was still far from being comparable to a mortal city.

It seemed that they had already known the whereabouts of the Southern Army. The Southern City was already surrounded by a defensive array.

Through the formation, Chen Daoxuan and Zhou Mubai could see the late-stage Golden Core cultivator standing on the city wall.

“It’s him!”

Zhou Mubai’s expression froze when he saw the Golden Core on the city wall. He had clearly recognized him.

“Who is it?”

Chen Daoxuan turned around and looked at him curiously.

“Daoist Master Yin Jiu, he was the one who led the army to break through the Southern Mountain’s City. 1 didn’t expect his cultivation to improve again in less than a hundred years.”

Zhou Mubai wasn’t a Golden Core cultivator, so he could only vaguely sense that this Daoist Master Yin Jiu wasn’t an early-stage Golden Core cultivator. As for whether he was a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator or a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, he couldn’t tell.

Zhou Mubai couldn’t see through the other party’s cultivation level, but Chen Daoxuan, as a Golden Core cultivator, could tell at a glance.

This Daoist Master Yin Jiu was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator at Golden Core Level 9. If he wasn’t wrong, this person wasn’t far from the Nascent Soul stage.

This was because Chen Daoxuan could faintly feel the charm of the Law Realm from him.

Clearly, even if this person’s Great Dao realm had not reached the nomological realm, he had touched the threshold of the nomological realm. Coupled with this person’s cultivation, it could be determined that he was only a step away from the Nascent Soul realm.

Chen Daoxuan estimated that the other party’s strength was probably not much weaker than Ji Xuhui, whom he had killed.

Chen Daoxuan nodded.” This person seized the Southern Mountain’s City. He must have been heavily nurtured by the Xuan Qing Dao Alliance. It’s not surprising that he went from early-stage Golden Core to late-stage Golden Core in decades.”

Zhou Mubai was slightly shocked when he heard that Daoist Master Yin Jiu was already at the late-stage Golden Elixir realm. He then thought of the strength of the person beside him and felt relieved.

After all, with Chen Daoxuan’s battle record, as long as it was not a Nascent Soul cultivator, ordinary Golden Cores would not be able to stop him.

Ji Xuhui was already the top existence among all the Daoist Masters of the Golden Core, yet he was still suppressed by Chen Daoxuan.

Zhou Mubai could no longer understand Chen Daoxuan’s current strength.

However, he knew one thing very well. As long as Chen Daoxuan was in the Chen Family, the Zhou Family would never be able to compete with the Chen Family.

Zhou Mubai had seen Chen Daoxuan go from being far weaker than him to being far stronger than him.

In terms of shock, no one could compare to Zhou Mubai.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Daoxuan was just a newly risen genius cultivator in Cang Prefecture, a top Golden Core with endless potential.

Only Zhou Mubai knew.

How terrifying was it for a cultivator to grow from a weak Qi Condensation cultivator to a top Perfected Being comparable to a Nascent Soul in less than fifty years of cultivation?

Compared to Chen Daoxuan’s strength, Zhou Mubai was more afraid of his potential.

In Zhou Mubai’s eyes, Chen Daoxuan was a complete mystery.

Every time he thought that he had figured out Chen Daoxuan’s true strength, after a period of time, the other party’s strength would undergo a heaven-shaking change.

Fortunately, although the Zhou family and the Chen family had some competition, the two families had always been allies on the surface. The two sides had never shed all pretense of cordiality in formal occasions.

Fighting but not breaking!

Zhou Mubai felt that this was the best decision the clan leader had ever made.

When he thought of this, Zhou Mubai was 70% sincere and 30% boastful.”With Brother Chen around, a mere Adept Yin Jiu is nothing.”

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan looked at the other party in surprise.

He didn’t expect that someone as proud as Zhou Mubai would say such flattering words.

But very quickly, he thought that perhaps Zhou Mubai was not someone who would flatter others, but he was born in the Zhou family, especially as the next clan leader.

There were some things that he had to do even if he didn’t like it.

From a certain point of view, Chen Daoxuan was very similar to Zhou Mubai. They were both proud people.

Until today, no matter how down and out he was, he had never said anything to flatter others.

From this point of view, he was not qualified to be the clan leader of the Chen clan.

Fortunately, this was the cultivation world.

In the cultivation world, a cultivator’s cold, cruel, or strange temperament did not prevent him from becoming the leader of a family or sect, as long as he had extraordinary strength.

Seeing that Chen Daoxuan was silent, Zhou Mubai immediately shut his mouth.

The two of them were smart people. The last time they probed, they had basically confirmed the status of the Chen family and the Zhou family.

From now on, there was only one voice in Cangzhou, and that was the voice of the Chen family.

The many families that had originally attached themselves to the Zhou family and wanted to rely on the Zhou family to fight the Chen family, under the strong rise of Chen Daoxuan, this so-called alliance instantly fell apart.

Although with the Chen family’s unification and integration of Cangzhou, the division of interests among the various families in Cangzhou had not been decided yet, there was one thing that everyone was basically certain about.

That was, the Chen Family would become the overlord of the Cang Prefecture, just like the Ji Family and the Jiang Family in the Jing Prefecture and the Tai Prefecture.

The other families would have to rely on the Chen family for survival.

The chaos in Cangzhou since the Rebellion of God Extinction more than 400 years ago would be completely eliminated.

The battle to recover the Southern Mountain’s City was not only to gain Fairy Chi Yao’s experience, but also to establish the Chen family’s dominance in Cangzhou.

For this reason, the Chen Family had sent out all their elites. Not only did Chen Daoxuan personally go to the battlefield, but the Chen Family had also sent nine Zifu-stage sword xiu, represented by Chen Fusheng..
