Chapter 407 - The Arrival Of Reinforcements, The Untroubled Chu Kuangren

In the Black Heaven Sect.

Chu Kuangren was preparing for the unknown lands’ grand attack, but suddenly, he felt an energy coming from outside the mountain.

“Hey, this energy feels like…”

Chu Kuangren looked rather surprised.

His figure vanished from where he stood and reappeared outside the mountain entrance. It was Horizon Wing Sect Master and Snowstorm Sect Master who had brought their own troops.

“Sect Leader, we’ve brought you reinforcements.”

Chu Kuangren glanced behind them.

There were quite a lot of people.

However, most of them were below the Honorable Realm. Forget the unknown lands, but just any of those random orthodoxies, who joined the attack against the Black Heaven Sect, was strong enough to overpower these guys.

If these people were to join into battle, it would be akin to serving their heads on a plate to their enemies.

Nonetheless, his laments shall remain laments. Chu Kuangren was still extremely touched when he saw these two Sect Masters bringing forth their people to support him.

Complimenting someone when they were at their best is simple but helping someone while they were at their worst is hard.

Back when the Black Heaven Sect was successful and influential, countless forces wanted to gain their favor. Those people delivered gifts and showered them with praises. Chu Kuangren had seen it all.

Yet, in vital moments like these, not many of them could be relied on.

“Thank you so much, all of you. Come, please go inside.”

Chu Kuangren led them all into the Black Heaven Sect.

On their way in, they saw how deserted the Black Heaven Sect had become. When they thought about it more carefully, they figured out what had happened.

However, they kept their thoughts to themselves.

People would tend to chase after prosperity and flee from danger. This had always been the case for humanity, what more when it came to life and death.

“My two guests, look here. This is the Gravity Training Grounds. It is our Black Heaven Sect disciples’ usual training ground. That right there is the scripture library…”

While they were walking, Chu Kuangren introduced the sect’s buildings to his guests. Seeing how much hospitality he was showing them, Horizon Wing Sect Leader and Snowstorm Sect Leader felt rather puzzled.

A grave danger was looming, was it not?

How could the Sect Leader still be in such a leisurely mood?

“Uh, my dear Sect Leader, what’s going on exactly?”

Horizon Wing Sect Master asked as he could not contain his curiosity.

“Why don’t you look nervous or scared at all?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Kuangren merely chuckled. “Scared? We don’t have to be scared, but those who should be scared are not here yet.”

Flashes of eerie chill gleamed in his eyes.

In that instant, Horizon Wing Sect Master and Snowstorm Sect Master felt like they had seen an indescribable breadth of spirit in this young man before them.

A spirit that was not afraid of anything and was willing to take on the whole world!

“Come, you two. Let me give you a tour.”

“Oh, my dear Sect Leader, do you really have this much free time?” Just then, Elder Ruyan walked out from afar and said with a sigh.

“What’s wrong?”

“Master Gu sent me to ask you how many of those Vibrant Rejuvenation Pills do you plan to refine? Also, have you checked our Mountain Protection Formation?”

Elder Ruyan asked helplessly.

Right now, the entire Black Heaven Sect was operating on maximal capacity. Every one of them knew that a great war was coming, so they all felt the pressure.

Yet, as the Sect Leader, Chu Kuangren appeared so calm and relaxed instead.

He even had the mood to bring these people on a tour around the sect?!

If he was not the Sect Leader, she would have given him a slap on the face a long time ago.

“Refine however many Vibrant Rejuvenation Pills that he can, just in case. As for the Mountain Protection Formation, don’t worry about it. I have already checked it a long time ago.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

“But I went to the Towering Heaven Palace earlier, and Lil Bing said you’ve been inside the palace. She said that you only just got out of there.”

How was he done inspecting the formation in such a short timeframe?

What a bluff!

The veins on Elder Ruyan’s forehead popped up.

“Hehe, as I said, there’s no problem with the formation.”

Chu Kuangren said rather awkwardly.

In fact, he was not lying either. He had indeed checked the formation and made sure that it was operating properly. However, he did that with his spiritual thought while he was still in the Towering Heaven Palace.

After obtaining the Conjurer’s Talent, his spiritual thoughts were no longer comparable to a normal person’s. Not only did he have an incredibly sensitive spiritual thought sense, but it was also heightened, like it was an extension of his limb. It allowed him to control things telepathically.

Hence, although his body was in the Heavenly Emperor Palace, his spiritual thought had scanned through every nook and cranny of the Black Heaven Sect to make sure that nothing was faulty.

Nonetheless, Elder Ruyan could not bring herself to believe this.

The Conjurer’s inheritance had been extinct ages ago. She had never even heard of it, much less knew about it.

“Sect Leader, a great war is coming. You should treat this more seriously.”

“Yes, Elder Ruyan.”

Chu Kuangen nodded, finally bringing out his poise as a Sect Leader. He said calmly, “Elder Ruyan, Snowstorm Sect Master and Horizon Wing Sect Master are here to provide the Black Heaven Sect with reinforcements. Can you help me make the necessary arrangements?”

“The fact that our two Brothers can help us in these perilous times, the Black Heaven Sect owes you both our thanks. Come, follow me,” Elder Ruyan said.

“Sect Leader, the people from Shang clan have arrived.”

Suddenly, an elder walked up to them and said.

Chu Kuangren then looked into the distance, where he saw Shang Long with a few of his people approaching him. “Sect Leader Chu, it’s good to see you again.”

“Shang Clan Leader, you’re here as well.”

“I heard that the Black Heaven Sect needs help, so I brought my men here to assist you.”

Chu Kuangren looked behind him and saw that besides his wife, Lou Yun, there were also several other Honorable Realm cultivators.

Such a scale of support could not match the Snowstorm Sect and Horizon Wing Sect’s level.

Although the Shang clan’s Sage was slain by him, this amount of support was still too weak for what was once a sage orthodoxy.

However, it dawned on Chu Kuangren after he pondered on it.

Shang Long was instated by him as the Clan Leader, and his daughter, Shang Qingxue, was also in the Black Heaven Sect. Hence, it made sense for him to come forth and help the Black Heaven Sect, but the same could not be said for the rest of the Shang clan.

After all, it was him who had slain their Sage. Those people back at the Shang clan would surely prefer to have him dead.

Why would they ever help him?

It was not an easy feat for Shang Long to have assembled these few people from such a predicament. These people should be the trusted men that he had trained personally.

“I really appreciate it, Shang Clan Leader.” Chu Kuangren smiled at him.

“I know it’s not much, but I’ve tried my best.”

“Qingxue should still be cultivating. I’ll ask someone to bring you to her later. Both of you, father and daughter, could really use some catch-up.” Chu Kuangren called a disciple over and had him take the Shang clan people to look for Shang Qingxue.

“You seemed relaxed, Brother Chu. That’s pretty surprising.”

A teasing voice came from the void.

Immemorial Sage, along with people from the School of White Lotus, walked out slowly.

“Ah, Sister Immemorial, I hope you’ve been well.”

Chu Kuangren smiled as he said.

“Brother Chu, a great war is coming, but from what I see, the Black Heaven Sect still seems very organized. Meanwhile, you look as untroubled as always, like you already have a plan to ensure your path to victory. Have you really figured out a way to handle this?”

“Haha. Sister Immemorial, I don’t think many would take you seriously if you told them what you had just said. With sage orthodoxies like the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, Overlord Sage Tribe, Linghu clan, Sky Emperor Palace, and the Eight Wind Palace, joined by the several great unknown lands, there are so many people here that want me dead. What else am I supposed to do about it?”

Chu Kuangren laughed in response.

“If it were any other people, they would never survive this. But for some reason, I’ve always had an intuition that Brother Chu has a way out of problems. You’ve made so many miracles throughout these years, Brother Chu,” Immemorial Sage praised.

She meant what she said.

“Immemorial Sage, you’ve really flattered me. However, I do indeed have some confidence in getting through this,” Chu Kuangren remarked.

“You do?!” Immemorial Sage was taken aback by that. She was really astonished that Chu Kuangren could come up with a solution even in such a dire situation.

“You’ll know when the time comes.”

Chu Kuangren did not reveal anything else.

Following that, a few Sages from the Black Heaven Sect came out to welcome Immemorial Sage. It did not take long before yet another Sage appeared at the place.

It was the Royal Azure Dynasty’s Sage.

Walking alongside him was Gu Linglong.
