The atmosphere was desolate and oppressive. The idle courtyard was filled with endless terrifying Sword Qi. Chen Zong was shocked to find that everything in the courtyard, whether it was the table or the chairs, had all turned into swords. Whether it was the furnace or the sword rack, everything had turned into swords. Even the sand on the ground and the dust in the air had all turned into swords.
Wherever the swords pointed, his body and soul would be torn apart.
"Tell me, who are you?" Duan Zhan's eyes were filled with dazzling silver sword light, tearing the world apart.
"I have a connection with the Heavenly Master Sword Sect," Chen Zong said with difficulty, withstanding the terrifying pressure.
With that, the terrifying pressure on Duan Zhan's body lessened a little, and the peerless sword light in his eyes also weakened a little.
"What connection do you have with the Heavenly Master Sword Sect?" Duan Zhan's tone was still sharp. His gray hair fluttered like countless surging Sword Qi.
"Your surname is Duan. Are you Duan Guchun?" Chen Zong did not answer. Instead, he asked again, staring into Duan Zhan's eyes.
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not? "Duan Zhan did not answer directly.
"I once had a fortuitous encounter and received the inheritance of a senior with the title of Heavenly Master Jiandi." Chen Zong's words made Duan Zhan's expression change. It was very complicated.
"You're not lying?" Duan Zhan moved closer to Chen Zong. His eyes widened as if he wanted to pierce through Chen Zong. His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of suppressed excitement.
"I'm not lying," Chen Zong said seriously.
Suddenly, the terrifying aura retreated. The table was still the table, and the chair was still the chair. Everything returned to normal.
"I am indeed Duan Guchun." Duan Zhan sat down again. His expression returned to normal, but there was an indescribable excitement in his heart.
"Senior Duan." Chen Zong stood up and bowed again.
The first bow was because the other party was the leader of the Ultimate Sky Group.
The second bow was more formal because the other party was Duan Guchun, the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Master Jiandi.
"Where did you meet Master? How is Master now? "Duan Guchun couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but stand up and ask again.
"Senior …" Chen Zong opened his mouth and said, "I did not see Senior Tongtian Jiandi in person. I only encountered a wisp of his consciousness and received the Heavenly Sword Way inheritance. I also learned some things about Senior Tongtian Jiandi and accepted Senior Tongtian's will."
"The consciousness left behind … the will … Master has already …" Duan Guchun looked pained. In fact, he had been searching for the Tongtian Jiandi for many years, but to no avail. He had already guessed this, but now that he heard Chen Zong's answer, he could not help but feel sad.
He had been adopted by the Heavenly Grandmaster Jiandi in his early years and had become his disciple. He had cultivated with the Heavenly Grandmaster Jiandi for many years. It could be said that the Heavenly Grandmaster Jiandi was his master and a father figure.
After all, Duan Guchun was a super expert and had strong self-control. He quickly adjusted and buried his sadness in the bottom of his heart. The way he looked at Chen Zong was completely different from before.
After all, Chen Zong was one of the inheritors of Master's Heavenly Sword Way. He was probably the only one who had received the complete Heavenly Sword Way inheritance. To a certain extent, he could be considered his junior brother.
"Since you have received Master's inheritance, I will call you my junior brother," Duan Guchun spoke again. "Tell me, what did Master say to you?"
Since he knew Duan Guchun's identity, and knew the temperament of the eldest disciple from the Heavenly Grandmaster Jiandi, Chen Zong trusted Duan Guchun more.
Moreover, the Heavenly Grandmaster Jiandi had not said anything particularly secretive. Other than the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Way inheritance, he had only hoped that Chen Zong could clean up the mess for him.
Duan Guchun was one of the people involved, so he knew.
"Ban Zhongquan!" Duan Guchun clenched his fists, his veins bulging. His eyes shone with a terrifying light, like a heavenly sword cutting through the heavens and earth. Chen Zong's body trembled again, and a chill reverberated in his body.
"I knew it was you." Duan Guchun was extremely furious, and his killing intent was shocking.
Duan Guchun had previously guessed the death of the Heavenly Grandmaster Jiandi, but he could not be sure. Ban Zhongquan was responsible for his injuries, and Ban Zhongquan was also responsible for the death of his Master, the Heavenly Grandmaster Jiandi.
Now that he heard Chen Zong's words, he could finally be sure that everything was related to Ban Zhongquan. Ban Zhongquan was the direct mastermind.
Chen Zong was silent.
After a dozen breaths, Duan Guchun's tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed, and his terrifying killing intent receded.
It was not that he didn't want to kill Ban Zhongquan, but that it was difficult to do so.
"Senior Brother Duan, do you know where Ban Zhongquan is?" Chen Zong asked. Although he didn't become the disciple of the Heavenly Grandmaster Jiandi, it was a fact that he had received his inheritance. Therefore, although they weren't master and disciple in name, they were master and disciple in reality. Since Duan Guchun called him Junior Brother, it was reasonable for him to call him Senior Brother.
"Ban Zhongquan …" Speaking of this name, Duan Guchun's eyes were almost spitting fire. "He is the Master of the Motian Society."
"The Master of the Motian Society!" Chen Zong was shocked.
Chen Zong had never thought of this. After all, he didn't know enough about the Motian Society, and he had no clue. Naturally, he wouldn't associate Ban Zhongquan with the Motian Society.
But now that he knew, he felt that it was only natural.
Ban Zhongquan was the Master of the Motian Society, and Duan Guchun had created the Extreme Celestial Society to oppose the Motian Society precisely because Duan Guchun wanted to deal with Ban Zhongquan.
Everything made sense now.
Moreover, just as the Heavenly Grandmaster Jiandi had said, Ban Zhongquan was now a powerful Emperor level expert.
Duan Guchun began to explain to Chen Zong so that he could have a more direct understanding of Ban Zhongquan.
Ban Zhongquan was a man with extraordinary talent and tyrannical strength. Moreover, he was very patient and good at hiding his emotions. Normally, it was impossible to tell what kind of person he was. In fact, he was a man with great ambition and would do anything to achieve his goals.
As he listened, Chen Zong couldn't help but feel shocked.
Ban Zhongquan, if one didn't know his true nature well enough, would be deceived by him. One would trust him and treat him with sincerity. In the end, one would be framed by him.
For example, Duan Guchun had trusted Ban Zhongquan a lot in the past. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been framed so easily.
"Senior Martial Brother Duan, Ban Zhongquan is a Emperor level expert. Since you can fight against him, are you also …" Chen Zong pondered for a moment before asking.
"Ban Zhongquan is indeed a Emperor level expert, but I'm not," Duan Guchun said with a bitter smile.
It wasn't easy to become a Emperor level expert. He had been chasing after it all this time. Unfortunately, he always lacked something, that little bit of opportunity.
"Back then, I was framed by Ban Zhongquan and was on the verge of death. In the end, I survived and had a fortuitous encounter overseas." Duan Guchun slowly said, "After that fortuitous encounter, all my injuries were healed. My cultivation rose rapidly and reached the limit of Sky Profound Realm. Relying on the heaven and earth spiritual treasure I obtained by fortuitous encounter, I can contend against a Emperor level expert."
Overseas referred to the sea outside Canglan Continent. There were countless islands and dangerous places.
In terms of the number of human experts, Canglan Continent had the most. However, in the vast and mighty sea, there were also extremely powerful and terrifying sea beasts and so on. There were also many heaven and earth spiritual treasures.
Since ancient times, many human experts would leave the continent and enter the sea to experience the dangers and pursue breakthroughs.
Some experts also died in the sea and left behind their inheritances. Some heaven and earth spiritual treasures would also be born in the sea.
It could be said that the area of the sea was far larger than that of Canglan Continent. Few people set foot in the depths of the sea, so it was easier to breed heaven and earth spiritual treasures and the like.
Duan Guchun didn't clearly state what kind of heaven and earth spiritual treasure he was talking about. Although Chen Zong was curious, he didn't ask. After all, that was Duan Guchun's secret.
Everyone had their own secrets. Wantonly probing into other people's secrets was a kind of disrespect. It could even lead to falling out and becoming enemies. Putting himself in Duan Guchun's shoes, Chen Zong also didn't want others to pry into his secrets.
However, Chen Zong was still very surprised. What kind of heaven and earth spiritual treasure could actually allow a Sky Profound Realm expert to possess the strength to contend against a Emperor level expert?
"This heaven and earth spiritual treasure only allows me to barely possess the strength to contend against a Emperor level expert. However, I can't defeat or even kill him." Duan Guchun said, "Only after I break through and become a Emperor level expert can I avenge my master and clean up the sect."
Duan Guchun and Chen Zong talked a lot.
"Junior Brother, you can come to my place at any time in the future. Although I'm not as talented as you, I've been cultivating for more years than you, so I can give you some inspiration on the path of cultivation," Duan Guchun said, "In addition, you can use all the resources of the Extreme Heaven Association to your heart's content."
Before, he had only been rewarded because of Chen Zong's contributions, but now it was different. After confirming Chen Zong's identity, Duan Guchun attached more importance to Chen Zong because this person could be considered as his junior brother to a certain extent.
The Extreme Heaven Association was founded by him. Its original purpose was to fight against the Skyscraper Association and destroy all of its affairs to weaken Ban Zhongquan's forces.
Chen Zong's talent was far superior to his. Even Ban Zhongquan couldn't compare with him. Moreover, his master, Omnipotent Jiandi, had placed high hopes on him. Perhaps in the future, he would be needed to kill Ban Zhongquan and avenge his master.
After talking for half a day, Chen Zong got up and bid farewell, leaving Duan Guchun's small courtyard.
Not long after, a piece of news spread throughout the association.
The association master appointed Chen Zong as the Young Master of the Extreme Heaven Association.
"What?"
"Since when did our Extreme Heaven Association have a Young Master?"
"We have one from now on."
The matter of the Young Master immediately caused a great commotion. Everyone was talking about it. The three elders with real power were also puzzled and very surprised.
The Skyscraper Association did have a Young Master, but it had never had a Young Master since its establishment. They didn't expect him to suddenly appear today.
The first feeling that the Young Master gave people was shock, and the second feeling was that they were not used to it.
"What's Chen Zong's identity?"
Many people were guessing what kind of identity he had to be to be appointed as the Young Master by the association master.
In fact, when Sword Sovereign Azure Dragon received the association master's notice, he was also very shocked. However, he didn't ask much and just announced the association master's decision.
The association master rarely cared about the Extreme Heaven Association's affairs and rarely made decisions, but once he made a decision, it couldn't be changed.
