Fort No. 17.
Outside the General's residence, a sword ray suddenly appeared. The cultivators in the General's residence all looked at the newcomer warily.
It was a swordsman in a white robe who looked very young.
However, the aura that emanated from his body was so cold that even the soldiers in the General's residence felt a prickling sensation on their skin.
"Someone, tell me your name!"
One of the soldiers said coldly.
"Fort No. 18, Jian Wuque of the Swordsman tribe!"
Jian Wuque said indifferently.
Many people's eyes narrowed when they heard that name.
Some of the cultivators on the street also stopped in their tracks.
"Jian Wuque, ranked ninety-eighth on the Battle Credits Leaderboard. Why is he here?!" Some cultivators could not help but exclaim.
Some cultivators who did not know who Jian Wuque was immediately awed when they heard that he was ranked ninety-eighth on the Battle Credits Leaderboard.
In all the forts, battle credits represented a person's status. The higher the battle credits, the more respect and reverence one would receive.
This was especially true for cultivators who could squeeze into the top hundred of the Battle Credits Leaderboard.
"In our Fort No. 17, the only person who can squeeze into the top hundred of the Battle Credits Leaderboard is the General."
"Yes, that's right."
"Jian Wuque is from the Swordsman tribe. What's he doing here?"
Before the soldiers could go in to report, the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable had already sensed Jian Wuque's arrival in the General's residence.
He walked out and laughed, "Daoist Wu Que, what kind of wind is this? Why are you here?"
Jian Wuque's battle credits were not low, so even the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable did not dare to slight him.
When Jian Wuque saw the Ghostly Blade Heavenly Honorable, the Fort Master, he gave him the appropriate amount of respect. He cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, General Ghostly Blade. I'm here to look for Chu Kuangren."
"Oh, why are you looking for Brother Chu?"
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable was slightly surprised. Chu Kuangren had only arrived at the extraterrestrial battlefield not long ago. Since when did he have anything to do with Jian Wuque?
"I'm here to look for him and fulfill my promise of battle!"
Jian Wuque said calmly.
However, his words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.
Many people were in an uproar.
"Who could make Jian Wuque come all the way here to challenge him?"
"Chu Kuangren, this name sounds quite familiar. I think I've heard it from the army camp recently."
"What is this person's background? For Jian Wuque to think so highly of him, could it be that he is also in the top 100 of the War Merit List?"
"That's not right. I can practically recite the top five hundred names on the Battle Merit Leaderboard backwards, but I've never heard of the name Chu Kuangren."
Ghost Blade Heavenly Lord frowned and said, "Is there some misunderstanding between Daoist Wuque and Daoist Chu? I am willing to mediate between them. "
"This is a matter between me and Chu Kuangren. You don't have to say anything more, General. Can you invite him out now?"
Jian Wuque said indifferently.
"Fellow Daoist Chu hasn't returned yet."
"When will he return?"
"I … I don't know." Empyrean Ghost Blade shook his head.
"If that's the case, I'll wait for him at Fort 17. If he comes back, I'll have to trouble you to pass on my message. I'll be waiting for him at the Duelling Arena to complete the duel!" Jian Wuque said calmly.
Then, he turned around to leave.
Ghost Blade Heavenly Lord stopped him and tried to persuade him. "Brother Wuque, please don't be rash. Both of you are the most important combat forces in the extraterrestrial battlefield. If you get hurt because of a moment of anger, it'll be a great loss to the human race."
Chu Kuangren was no longer the same as before. His combat strength was so strong that he could even kill someone like Bai Juexin.
Although Jian Wuque was a powerful Upper Level Heavenly Lord, Ghost Blade Heavenly Lord felt that he was still one or two levels lower than Chu Kuangren. He was no match for Chu Kuangren.
However, Jian Wuque had obviously misunderstood. He said solemnly, "Don't worry, General Ghost Blade. Chu Kuangren is a rare talent. I know that. I'll be careful not to harm his life when I attack."
General Ghost Blade smiled helplessly at his words.
'Who's afraid that you'll harm his life?
I'm just afraid that he'll accidentally kill you! '
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, the Ghost Blade Heavenly Lord could only sigh helplessly. He looked at Jian Wuque's departing figure and shook his head. "Brother Wuque, I wish you good luck."
Not long after, news of Jian Wuque's challenge to Chu Kuangren spread throughout Fortress No. 17. Countless people were talking about it.
After all, those in the top hundred of the Battle Merits Leaderboard were considered to be top-notch figures.
Besides that, Chu Kuangren's name had also gradually entered the public's attention. Many people were investigating this person's information.
As the investigation went deeper, the people could not help but feel incredulous.
Supreme Sage?
Resisted the invasion of the Demonic Realm twice?
Killed several Emperors when he just ascended to the Emperor realm?
Ascended to the Heavenly Honorable Realm in a few years?
Was he even human?!
"If the information is correct, then this Chu Kuangren is truly unprecedented. He stopped the invasion of the Demonic Realm twice. Just this alone is enough to earn him countless battle merits."
"That's right. If it weren't for him, Firmament Star would've fallen and become a demonic land. What's the point of us staying in the extraterrestrial battlefield then?"
"Hmm, not bad."
"Tsk tsk, I can't believe Firmament Star has such a terrifying genius. But according to the information, this person's cultivation level is only a Lower Level Heavenly Honorable. Can he be a match for Jian Wuque?"
"I don't think so, but Jian Wuque won't be able to kill him either. The higher-ups won't want to see a genius like him get hurt."
"That's true …"
Countless people were watching the upcoming battle.
Today, a battleship arrived outside Fortress No. 17.
Chu Kuangren got out of the battleship and kept it away. Then, his figure flashed and he used the Spatial Conveyor Technique to arrive outside the General's Residence.
The soldiers' eyes lit up when they saw Chu Kuangren.
"Brother Chu, you're back."
"Yes, is the General around?"
"He's inside. Please go in, Brother."
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable had once said that Chu Kuangren would not be guarded in any part of the General's Residence. He could come and go as he pleased.
After entering the General's Residence, the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable walked up to Chu Kuangren and gave him a big hug. "Brother Chu, welcome back."
Chu Kuangren smiled.
The few of them then entered the great hall to catch up.
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable brought up Jian Wuque's challenge. "Brother Chu, what kind of grudge did you have with Jian Wuque?"
"It's nothing much. I just killed a commander of the Swordsmen."
Chu Kuangren laughed.
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable's lips twitched.
The commander of the Swordsmen was at least an Honorable Realm cultivator, and there were not many of them in the Swordsmen. Why did Chu Kuangren make them seem like they could be found anywhere?
Then, Chu Kuangren told him about Jian Wuque.
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable, who was initially sympathetic towards the Swordsmen, suddenly stood up and slammed the table. "Hmph, ungrateful people deserve to die! How dare this Jian Wuque come here and challenge you to a duel? How shameless of me to call him my friend. "
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable was furious.
After all, Jian Wuque did not only expose Chu Kuangren's secret but also his precious granddaughter, Yan Honghua.
