Chapter 180: Chapter 131: Unreliable Ancestor, Just Out of Nanling and Into the Wolf’s Den

"Jiang Hao?"

The moment Jiang Hao revealed his identity, the entire Celestial Sword Sect trembled. Even Master Cangchen’s eyes, deeply etched by the passage of time, flickered with a peculiar light. The name "Jiang Hao" represented hostility, a feud that would only end in death, and its underlying message was self-evident.

"So he is Jiang Hao?"

"With a cultivation base at the Mortal Transformation Realm?"

"How is that possible? Wasn’t it said a year ago that he had just reached perfection in the Nine Spirit Transformations? It’s only been a short year. How did he already step into the Mortal Transformation Realm?"

Staring at the white-robed figure standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the white-haired youth in the void, and sensing the terrifying fluctuations of power radiating from him, countless Cultivators across the Celestial Sword Sect were completely astounded. The sect’s contemporary prodigies, in particular, stared wide-eyed in absolute disbelief.

High in the void above the Celestial Sword Sect.

Lin Xu Daoist fixed a death glare on the white-robed figure, his aged eyes rippling with intense emotion. "Jiang Hao? So you are the vile spawn who slaughtered the seven top-ranking peerless prodigies of our Celestial Sword Sect?

"What sheer audacity! We haven’t even gone looking for you, yet you dare deliver yourself to our doorstep?"

Upon realizing that this was the very youth the Celestial Sword Sect had been desperately trying to capture, Lin Xu Daoist felt a sudden surge of delight. However, his joy quickly faded into a deep frown. How did that boy end up alongside the White-robed Divine King?

Amidst the crowd’s shock, Saint Cangchen narrowed his eyes from within the Holy Court and questioned Jiang Renfeng. "Senior, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that this person has some connection to you?"

He simultaneously realized that the boy their sect had been relentlessly hunting would now be extremely troublesome to deal with.

Hearing this, a faint smile graced Jiang Renfeng’s lips. He tilted his head up slightly and replied, "My surname is Jiang, and his surname is also Jiang. What kind of connection do you think we have?"

BOOM!

As Jiang Renfeng’s words landed, the upper echelon of the Celestial Sword Sect felt as though they had been struck by lightning, clearly connecting the dots.

"Brat Cangchen, three thousand years have passed since we last met, and you’ve grown quite capable. Back when I was chasing your ancestor to the ends of the earth, you were nothing but a babe still reeking of your mother’s milk.

"Now, a few thousand years later, having become the Celestial Sword Sect Leader, your tone has certainly grown bold. You even dared to order the hunt of my descendant! Tell me, Brat Cangchen, how should I settle this score with you?" the white-haired youth said, his eyes bursting with chilling intent.

His expression clearly screamed, "I am furious right now, and the consequences will be dire."

Master Cangchen’s face instantly turned incredibly grim upon hearing those words. "This boy is Senior’s descendant? Senior, surely you must be joking with this junior? For ten thousand years, who hasn’t known that the White-robed Divine King is childless?"

"The Sect Leader is right. Brother Jiang, is this just another one of your pathetic excuses?" Not only was Master Cangchen severely doubting him, but even Lin Xu Daoist was indignant, refusing to believe a single word the White-robed Divine King said.

"Heh! Whether you believe it or not, what the hell does it have to do with me? In all my life, I have never tried to prove anything to anyone!

"I didn’t have a descendant before, but from now on, I do. I, Jiang Renfeng, am now an old immortal with an heir!

"Brat Cangchen, as the master of a sect, you bullied the Jiang Family, assuming we were defenseless. You tried to murder my descendant and extinguish my bloodline. Do you really think I don’t exist?!"

As Jiang Renfeng finished speaking, his white hair danced wildly in the air, practically standing on end.

Listening to the white-haired youth’s tirade, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but be taken aback. The personality of his ancestor was truly hard to put into words.

He thought, "Ancestor, you are a Divine King after all, and the First Divine King beneath the Saints at that. Please pay at least a little attention to your image."

Jiang Hao highly suspected that his ancestor’s title might have been self-proclaimed, only becoming famous because he kept beating people up to enforce it. Otherwise, his current demeanor really didn’t align at all with the majestic title of "White-robed Divine King."

While Jiang Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry internally, a subtle shift was already occurring across the entire Celestial Sword Sect.

"Since that is the case, how does Senior intend to handle this matter?" Master Cangchen’s voice was neither servile nor overbearing, though a trace of anger had crept into his tone.

He was the dignified Celestial Sword Sect Leader, Saint Cangchen! Even members of the Imperial Race had to treat him with three parts courtesy. Yet now, in front of his countless disciples and grand-disciples, he was repeatedly being called a "brat." Anyone would be infuriated.

Unfortunately for him, the person Saint Cangchen was facing today was Jiang Renfeng, the White-robed Divine King, whose reputation in the entire Cultivation Realm was quite delicate.

Jiang Renfeng laughed in response. He laughed so hard that even Jiang Hao beside him felt somewhat uncomfortable. "How do I intend to handle it? Brat Cangchen, you don’t actually think I mobilized all this effort just to demand some bullshit explanation from you, do you?"

"Then what exactly does Senior want?"

"To fight! My descendant got bullied, so of course I’m here to fight! Cut the crap and let’s get straight to it."

"Good. Good, good, good! Excellent! Since Senior wishes to fight, my Celestial Sword Sect will naturally oblige," Master Cangchen retorted. "However, our sect has urgent matters today and it is inconvenient to strike. I hope Senior will give us some time. Once we emerge from seclusion, we will gladly fight a hearty battle with Senior."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired youth raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm, that makes sense. I also noticed that you guys are currently helping those two little runts cultivate that broken Sword Technique of yours, so you’re temporarily tied up and can’t give me a proper fight."

Jiang Renfeng smiled widely, but his tone abruptly shifted. "But what does that have to do with me? When the Celestial Sword Sect hunted down my Hao’Er, did you wait for him to grow up first?

"Who picks an auspicious day and time to have a brawl? It’d make me a laughingstock! People who didn’t know better would think I’d completely changed my nature!"
