The clan's elites then joined forces to attack the Shang Clan Leader.
Although the Shang Clan Leader was an Honorable Supreme, he was beginning to show signs of fatigue under the combined attacks of the clan members. In addition to being surrounded by his clan members, he was disheartened and careless. As a result, he was hit and fell to the ground.
"What a good show."
Chu Kuangren could not help but applaud as he watched from the side.
The elders looked a little embarrassed.
However, that was the only thing they could do to save their own lives.
An elder escorted the Shang Clan Leader forward. "Brother Chu, the Shang Clan has offended you, so they deserve to die. He's Shang Han's father, so if you want to kill him, do as you please."
Chu Kuangren did not even look at that elder. Instead, he took out the Lou clan's ancient sword from his Yin and Yang Ring and said, "Let me ask you, where did Shang Han get this Lou clan's ancient sword from?"
"It seems that the origin of this Lou clan's ancient sword is very important to you, but I'll never tell you a word about it."
The Shang Clan Leader sneered.
He knew that he would die today. If that was the case, why would he say anything that would benefit Chu Kuangren?
"This sword looks familiar."
At that moment, one of the elders suddenly let out a soft gasp.
The Shang Clan Leader was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
'Tell me, why does this ancient sword look familiar? Where have you seen it before? '
Chu Kuangren smiled and looked at that elder. "F * ck, why do you think this ancient sword looks familiar? Where have you seen it before?"
That elder thought for a while. "A few years ago, I went to the Nimbus City. There's a branch of the Shang clan there, and I saw this ancient sword there. However, I didn't pay much attention to it."
Although the Lou clan's ancient sword was made of special materials, it had no other uses other than opening the enchanted boundary of the Lou City.
To those who did not know about the Lou Kingdom's treasures, the Lou clan's ancient sword was not even comparable to an ordinary Honorable Weapon.
Therefore, that elder did not pay much attention to it at that time.
He did not expect to see this ancient sword again in such an occasion a few years later. It was truly a surprise to him.
"I remember now. The Young Emperor, oh no, Shang Han went to the Nimbus City some time ago too," one of the Shang clan disciples suddenly said.
"The Nimbus City, the Shang clan's branch …"
Chu Kuangren seemed to be deep in thought.
It seemed like Shang Han had obtained the Lou family's ancient sword from the Shang clan's side branch. Would the Shang clan's side branch have a descendant of the White-robed General?
"Looks like I have to make a trip to Cloud City."
Chu Kuangren muttered.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, if you don't mind, I can lead the way for you," the elder at the side suddenly said in a flattering manner.
Chu Kuangren gave it some thought. After all, they were from the Shang clan's side branch. Bringing along a Shang clan elder might make things easier for them, so he agreed to it.
"By the way, Fellow Chu, what about him?"
The Shang clan elder pointed at the Shang clan leader and said.
"Kill him."
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
There was no need for him to do it himself; someone else would do it for him.
Not long after, the dignified Shang Clan Leader, a Supreme Sovereign, died in the hands of his own clansmen.
"A Sage and an Honorable Supreme. This should be enough to comfort the souls of the Horizon Wing Sect's martyrs."
An elder said cautiously.
When Chu Kuangren heard that, he glared at him. His gaze was like a bone-piercing cold sword that pierced through the elder's heart.
The elder's legs turned to jelly, and he immediately knelt on the ground. "I've said too much. Please, Brother Chu, no, Sect Leader Chu, spare my life."
"How can the lives of your Shang clan's Sage and Clan Leader be enough to compensate for more than eighteen thousand lives?"
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
Upon hearing that, everyone from the Shang clan knelt on the ground in unison. Their bodies trembled as they were shrouded by a great sense of fear.
What did Chu Kuangren mean by that?
Had he not killed enough?
Would he only be satisfied after wiping out the entire Shang clan?
No one dared to ask. Everyone was terrified because they knew that their lives were now in Chu Kuangren's hands.
"From today onwards, the Shang clan shall take turns to send ten Honorables to the Horizon Wing Sect to keep vigil for the dead. They shall obey the Horizon Wing Sect's orders for a thousand years! If anyone disobeys, the Shang clan shall cease to exist. "
Chu Kuangren said calmly. To him, the Shang clan was no longer a threat. Moreover, the main culprit who released the million tormented souls, Shang Han, was dead. Not only that, but he had also lost a Clan Leader and a Sage.
In the battle, the number of Shang clan members who died was uncountable.
As for the remaining people, there was no longer any meaning in killing them. It was better to keep them alive to help rebuild the Horizon Wing Sect.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that.
As long as they were still alive, everything was fine.
As for keeping vigil for the Horizon Wing Sect's martyrs, obeying the Horizon Wing Sect's orders, and becoming their slaves, although that would be a disgrace to the Shang clan, they were too afraid of Chu Kuangren to disobey him.
"Let's go to the Nimbus City."
Chu Kuangren said.
Apart from seeking justice for the Horizon Wing Sect's dead, the most important reason he came to the Shang clan this time was to find the White-Robed General's descendants.
News of Chu Kuangren's visit to the Shang clan and his slaying of a Sage gradually spread. Many forces were terrified when they learned about it.
A year ago, he killed two of the Murong clan's Sages for Murong Xuan. A year later, he returned to the realm and killed a Six-Step Shang clan's Sage for an affiliated force. Chu Kuangren's tyrannical behavior made everyone fearful.
However, he always had a reason for his actions, and that was what made everyone helpless. Even if some of the forces wanted to band together to suppress Chu Kuangren, they would not have an excuse.
Of course, they could always find an excuse, but the prerequisite was that they had to be able to suppress Chu Kuangren.
Among the current sage orthodoxies, not many possessed such strength.
Near the Ancient Battlefield, in the Horizon Wing Sect.
The Horizon Wing Sect's Sect Master, who had just received news of Chu Kuangren wreaking havoc in the Shang clan, was shocked. He then bowed in the direction of the Black Heaven Sect.
"Sect Leader, you're so righteous!"
Behind him, a group of elders and disciples knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of the Black Heaven Sect.
"Sect Leader, you're so righteous!"
"The Sect Leader is righteous …"
Leng Changkong said worriedly, "Sect Master, although the Sect Leader has sought justice for us, won't the Sages be jealous of him for killing Sages one after another? Won't that cause trouble for him?"
"The Sect Leader naturally has his reasons for doing what he does. As for the Sages being jealous of him, that's for sure. But so what?"
The Horizon Wing Sect's Sect Master had a look of admiration on his face. "If they want to cause trouble for the Sect Leader, they'll have to weigh their own strength first. Putting aside the fact that the Sect Leader has a reason for killing a Sage, they can't find a reason to go against him. Even if they do, the Sect Leader's strength is unparalleled."
"He has the support of the Black Heaven Sect, the Royal Azure Dynasty, and the School of White Lotus. Besides that, I heard that the Sect Leader's reputation is slowly spreading among the Buddhist orthodoxies. Many Buddhist cultivators think that he's a living Buddha. With that, no one would dare to touch the Sect Leader."
The current Chu Kuangren, be it in terms of background or strength, was so terrifying that it could make one's hair stand on end.
It was too difficult to deal with him.
After the mess that Chu Kuangren had wreaked in the Shang clan, the Horizon Wing Sect became even more loyal to the Black Heaven Sect. The other affiliated forces were also more determined to cling onto the Black Heaven Sect.
