Honorable Xuan Qi had completed his ascension and successfully entered the Boundary Sage Realm.
As long as he worked hard, becoming a Sage was just around the corner.
"Xuan Qi, congratulations."
Black Heaven's Third Forefather smiled at Honorable Xuan Qi.
"Haha, this is all thanks to Kuangren. Without him and the interference of the Linghu family, things would not have been so easy."
Honorable Xuan Qi laughed.
He looked at Chu Kuangren with a gratified look.
"This young man is indeed talented. I've asked the Linghu family for an additional quota for the Sword Gauntlet, so I'll let him lead the team."
"A quota for the Sword Gauntlet? That's great."
Honorable Xuan Qi's eyes lit up.
Beside him, Chu Kuangren was a little confused. This so-called Sword Gauntlet seemed to be very important to even the Sages.
However, he temporarily suppressed his doubts.
Although Honorable Xuan Qi had completed his ascension, this matter was not over yet. Other than the Linghu family, there were also a few forces that came to Black Heaven Sect to stir up trouble.
The Black Heaven Sect would not let these forces go. They would have to deal with them.
Among them, the Jadewater Sect was the strongest. It was an honorable orthodoxy that was second only to the sage orthodoxies.
Naturally, the Black Heaven Sect would not let them go. They immediately sent people to suppress this force, and the one leading them was Chu Kuangren.
…
On the Fairy boat, Chu Kuangren stood on the deck and looked at the sea of clouds.
"What a tiring life I have. I just finished dealing with the demonic onslaught in the Qian Nation, and now I have to help my Honorable Teacher with his ascension. Now I have to suppress an honorable orthodoxy. How inhumane."
He looked up to the sky and sighed helplessly.
Beside him, the Seventh Forefather smiled and said, "The Sect Leader must have his reasons for doing this. Young man, do you know that now that the Sect Leader has stepped into the Boundary Sage Realm, the next step is to slowly build up his foundation to become a Sage?"
"This is a long process. If there are no other opportunities, it could take a few hundred years or a few thousand years. The less disturbances the better. I'm afraid the Sect Leader has decided to retire."
Chu Kuangren was stunned. "If he retires, what will happen to the Black Heaven Sect? Has the next Sect Leader been decided?"
He had only asked casually, but when he saw the Seventh Forefather staring straight at him, his heart skipped a beat. With a face full of bewilderment, he pointed a finger at himself. "It can't be … me, right?"
"It's you."
"Damn, what kind of joke is this? You want me to be the Sect Leader? There are so many elders in the sect. Elder Ruyan would be fine too. "
"You have enough prestige, enough power, and you're the only disciple of the Sect Leader. If I don't look for you, who else would I look for?" The Seventh Patriarch laughed.
"I'm just a Battle King."
"Tell that to the others and see who will believe you."
The Seventh Forefather could not help but roll his eyes.
Stop teasing me.
You are a Battle King, but you can hang a Supreme Honorable Being up and beat him up!
"Sending you here to suppress the Jade Watersword Sect is also a way for you to practice your skills and build up your reputation in the outside world. This will pave the way for you to ascend to the position of sect leader in the future," the Seventh Forefather continued.
"Sigh, we'll see."
Chu Kuangren shook his head helplessly.
…
Within the Jade Watersword Sect.
A few elders were pacing back and forth anxiously.
"What should we do now? According to the news, the Great Elder has been killed in the Black Heaven Sect. The Black Heaven Sect will not let us go."
An elder said anxiously.
"We should have stopped the Great Elder back then and not allowed him to act on his emotions. Now, he's stirred up such a huge disaster."
"That's right."
"Let's think about how to deal with the Black Heaven Sect first."
"How are we going to deal with them alone?"
"Enough."
At that moment, a woman in green robes shouted and stopped the crowd. She was the current Sect Leader of the Jade Watersword Sect.
"What are you panicking for? The Jade Watersword Sect will not perish!"
The Jade Watersword Sect Leader said coldly.
"Sect Leader, do you have any ideas?"
"Young Emperor Linghu is still here. He promised to protect the Jade Watersword Sect. Let him handle this," the Jade Watersword Sect Leader said.
The elders felt slightly relieved when they heard that.
If they were to fight the Black Heaven Sect alone, they would definitely lose. However, things would be different if Young Emperor Linghu was included.
The Jade Watersword Sect represented the Linghu family, which was also a sage orthodoxy.
Even the Black Heaven Sect would have to think twice.
In a garden of the Jade Watersword Sect.
A young man in a black robe was strolling with a smiling young lady. The young lady was very close to the young man and seemed to be on good terms with him.
"Big Brother Linghu, thanks to your guidance, I've improved a lot." The young lady smiled.
The young man in black robes had a gentle look in his eyes. "It's my duty. Oh right, Lu Yan, I'll be returning to the Linghu family in a few days. Are you willing to go with me?"
The young lady was pleasantly surprised when she heard that. "Really? Big Brother Linghu, you're really willing to bring me back to the Linghu family?"
"Of course. You're my woman. Where else would you go if not to the Linghu family? Don't worry, you're very talented. With my guidance, you'll definitely break through to the Honorable level in a few years."
"Big Brother Linghu, you're so good to me." Lu Yan hugged the young man in black robes, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"Heh, silly girl. Who else would I be good to if not you?"
The young man in black robes smiled.
At that moment, he frowned slightly. Not far away, a Jade Watersword Sect Leader slowly walked over and bowed. "Greetings, Young Emperor."
Lu Yan blushed and let go of the young man in black robes. She then said to the Jade Watersword Sect Leader, "Sect Leader, you're here."
"Yes, I have a favor to ask of you, Young Emperor."
"Speak," the young man in black robes said.
"The people from the Black Heaven Sect are about to reach the Jade Watersword Sect. With our current strength, it'll be difficult to stop them. I hope the Young Emperor can lend us a hand."
"Don't worry about that. My uncle has an agreement with the Jade Watersword Sect. Although he's now dead in the Black Heaven Sect, the Linghu family will still honor our promise. Besides, Lu Yan is here too."
"Big Brother Linghu …" Lu Yan was touched again.
"Thank you, Young Emperor."
The Jade Watersword Sect Leader's eyes lit up. Then, she thought of something and said, "By the way, the person who brought them here is Chu Kuangren."
A hint of surprise flashed across Linghu's Young Emperor's eyes. "Chu Kuangren? The legendary Chu Kuangren who's ranked first in the Hundred Swords Spectrum?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Big Brother Linghu, I've heard that this person is very powerful. Why don't you ask for help from your family?" Lu Yan said worriedly.
Although Linghu's Young Emperor was afraid of Chu Kuangren, he could not show his fear in front of his woman. He sneered and said, "Chu Kuangren, I've long wanted to meet this person. Now that I have the chance today, how can I miss it? Let me see what he's made of!"
Looking at Linghu's Young Emperor's high-spirited look, Lu Yan could not help but admire him. "Big Brother Linghu, I believe you can defeat Chu Kuangren. In my heart, you're the strongest."
"That's only natural."
…
At that moment, the Fairy boat from the Black Heaven Sect had arrived at the Jade Watersword Sect's airspace. Many cultivators saw the flying flag on the Fairy boat and knew that it was the Fairy boat of the sage orthodoxy, the Black Heaven Sect.
There were also sword cultivators standing on the Fairy boat. Every single one of them was emanating an extremely sharp Sword Qi, and they looked very imposing.
