911. Chapter 909 Bearing the Burden and Moving Forward

Just then, Jiang Tian's figure swayed, preparing to deliver a final blow to end the battle.

However, at that very moment, a deep, domineering voice suddenly drifted from the northeast direction of the square! "Huh?" Jiang Tian raised his eyebrows at the words, his face slightly sinking as he looked to the west.

Only to see, beside a viewing platform, a figure stood treading empty air, observing the scene on the square, his face so gloomy it seemed water could be wrung out of it.

"Sect Leader!"

"It's the Sect Leader!"

"Quick look! It's the Sect Leader of the main peak!"

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Numerous disciples and elders on the square clasped their hands in salute, their faces full of reverence.

"Huh?"

"Hiss! It's actually the Sect Leader!"

Chu Tianhua's eyes corners twitched, a hint of apprehension flickering between his brows, but he quickly regained composure.

"Lu Yuan, step back!" Sect Leader Chu Tianhua snorted coldly, waving his hand to signal Lu Yuan to retreat.

Although Lu Yuan's action annoyed him, he was still young, and overreacting was a normal response, so he couldn't be bothered to reprimand him.

However, this matter was destined to earn him some blame, after all he was the head of the inner sect's stewardship.

"Lu Yuan, come back!"

Lu Family Head Lu Yuan let out a low, stern shout, calling his son to his side, his face as dark as iron.

He never expected his own son to make such a foolish mistake, and what angered him even more was that Jiang Tian's performance simply made him look at him anew! "Jiang Tian… just what level has he reached?"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, thoughts surging wildly in his mind, an inexplicable chill quickly spreading throughout his body.

If it were any other outer sect disciple, he certainly wouldn't be this surprised, but Jiang Tian had once refused his recruitment, leaving his impression of Jiang Tian somewhat vague.

But as today's battle unfolded, Jiang Tian displayed ever more astonishing methods and talent, intensifying this doubt! "Jiang Tian!" Chu Tianhua's eyes narrowed sharply, and he asked in a deep voice: "You… have you broken through?"

"Hehe, that's right!" Jiang Tian nodded with a smile.

"Hiss!" Chu Tianhua's eyes corners twitched, a shock jolted his heart.

"Unbelievable!"

He had originally overestimated Jiang Tian's cultivation, but he never expected that this young outer disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect would actually break through to this level in just a few short months! Such cultivation speed is truly unimaginable, leaving him feeling incredulous.

"Sect Leader, I was fortunate to succeed in my promotion." Jiang Tian smiled arrogantly, calm and composed.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Jiang, on your promotion!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Jiang!"

……

Lu Yuan led the Lu family members in a bowing congratulation, each face flushed with excitement, their enthusiasm in no way inferior to that of Chu Tianhua.

After all, Jiang Tian is a benefactor of the Lu family, and also helped the Lu family's business overcome its crisis.

Now he has also become a core disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, his future limitless; they naturally sought to curry favor and flatter him at this opportunity.

Chu Tianhua took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart, then slowly exhaled a muffled breath.

"Good! Good! Really well done!"

Chu Tianhua praised repeatedly, his eyes gleaming.

"Jiang Tian! Since you've already become a core disciple, let me give you two more gifts!"

Chu Tianhua hesitated slightly, then raised his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air.

Boom—! Two clusters of white light tore through the air and landed straight into Jiang Tian's hands.

"Huh?" Jiang Tian's gaze shifted; after examining the item in his hand for a moment, he suddenly felt something odd.

"Eh? Sect Leader, this is…"

These two items were anything but ordinary; they were, in fact, storage bags made of exceptionally fine jade! "These are two storage rings, keep them!"

Chu Tianhua shook his head with a smile and spoke solemnly. "Sect Leader, you're too kind!" Jiang Tian shook his head with a smile and politely declined.

"Oh?" Chu Tianhua frowned, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes: "What, you think it's too little?"

Jiang Tian shook his head with a smile and said solemnly: "Sect Leader, I currently have no use for these storage rings; it would be better to select rare materials and replace these ordinary goods."

"Hahaha!" Chu Tianhua burst into laughter upon hearing this, shaking his head and sighing.

"You… you… fine! If you truly don't want these storage rings, you can also entrust them to Lu Yuan for safekeeping, and retrieve them whenever you need them—no delay."

"Sect Leader, you're wise!" Jiang Yuan nodded slowly, smiling faintly.

Lu Family Head Lu Yuan, having heard the exchange between Jiang Tian and the Sect Leader, wore a gloomy expression and gritted his teeth in resentment.

These two storage rings were specially bestowed by the Sect Leader as a reward for Jiang Tian; he had originally thought they could be used to win him over, even to firmly bind him to the sect's ship.

But Jiang Tian wasn't buying it, leaving him feeling regretful and inevitably disappointed.

However, after pondering carefully for a moment, he suddenly came up with a plan! "Cough cough! Everyone, hold on!" Lu Yuan cleared his throat twice and strode to the center of the square.

Everyone's gazes were drawn over.

"Lu knows that our Azure Cloud Sect's rules have always determined rank based on seniority and martial talent. Lu has wandered the Azure Cloud Sect for many years, always stuck at the bottom, unable to enter the core; now it seems it's also time to prove his abilities!"

"If the Lu family head says that, doesn't it mean he wants fair competition?"

"Hehe! That kid just luckily won the match; you wouldn't really think he could beat Lu Yuan, would you?"

"Well…"

The crowd exchanged glances, momentarily hesitant.

The scene of Jiang Tian and Lu Yuan's earlier clash still lingered in their minds, truly leaving a vivid memory.

Even if Jiang Tian had merely won a lucky point against Lu Yuan, it was still enough to show that his strength was certainly not weak.

Otherwise, given Lu Yuan's temper, he would have long since exploded in rage and lashed out; how could Jiang Tian have gotten the upper hand?

This result also let the crowd secretly let out a long breath; finally they no longer had to worry about the Lu Family's threat.

He scanned the whole field, gave a leisurely smile, and spoke loudly: 'Jiang Tian, what do you think?'

Jiang Tian shook their head with a wry smile: 'I, the junior, have no objections!'

All right, then we'll handle it according to the sect's rules.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned and bowed with clasped hands toward the spectator seats behind the high platform.

Boom—

His words spread out, immediately stirring up a clamor.

Huh? What is Lu Yuan up to?

He wouldn't be trying to weasel out, would he?

Hmph! As the head of the Lu Family, how could he do such a thing?

The crowd kept speculating, but Lu Yuan paid no attention, merely giving a slight nod and a mysterious smile.

And after his figure disappeared, a flash of spiritual light appeared in the void several hundred zhang away; a silver boat materialized out of thin air, exuding a domineering martial aura! Hum— the silver boat suddenly trembled, hovering midair, the cabin door slowly opened, revealing a spacious and luxurious cabin!

Wow! It's actually a silver boat!

Too extravagant!

I've never seen such a flying magical artifact before!

There's nothing like that for sale in Cangjingcheng!

Which exalted master is visiting the Cangyun Sect?

Looking at that silver boat, many martial disciples exclaimed in admiration, each face showing envy.

Such a Fobao of this grade is terrifyingly valuable; ordinary martial artists couldn't even hope to possess one, let alone have seen it. (End of chapter)
