CHAPTER 1310: CHAPTER 1311: NEWS OF THE TWO

"From now on, you are the fifth disciple of the Holy Dragon Sect."

Luo Kang looked at Chu Fengmian and said with a smirk.

"Senior brother, had I known you possessed such strength earlier, I wouldn’t have acted against Mu Xuan. I would have let you handle it. Even the Ancient Emperor Fan Guang wouldn’t have had the chance to save that wastrel."

"Senior brother?"

Chu Fengmian was taken aback. Luo Kang had suddenly started addressing him as senior brother.

"Of course, in our Holy Dragon Sect, strength is revered. You defeated me, so you are my senior brother. However, there will come a day when I will defeat you. Even if you possess the three innate divine beast bloodlines, my technique, the Shattering Radiance, comprises nine parts. I’ve only mastered five. Once all nine are mastered, it will rival the power of a celestial being. I will challenge you again then."

Luo Kang spoke with a laugh, entirely unbothered by the outcome.

To him, a loss is just a step, and he will ultimately triumph in the future.

"A strong will."

Chu Fengmian looked at Luo Kang, thinking silently to himself.

A true strong person doesn’t follow a single path of dominance. Someone like Luo Kang has the heart of a strong person. Even defeated, he believes he will win eventually, thus ensuring future victories.

Many prodigal talents have unstable wills, and only possess a single-minded drive. When defeated, they crumble, never to rise again, just like many remarkably talented individuals in history who faded after one defeat.

However, the path of dominance has its benefits too, motivating oneself. Chu Fengmian treads the path of dominance, undefeated along the way.

Luo Kang walked to the edge of the arena, picked up a jade bottle, opened it, and took out the elixir pills inside, consuming and refining them. Soon, his spiritual power fully recovered.

"Senior brother, I sensed the bloodline of the Ancestor Heavenly Dragon in you. You’re also here for the Ancestor’s statue in the Holy Dragon Secret Realm, aren’t you?"

Luo Kang asked Chu Fengmian with a bright smile, calling him ’senior brother’ without reserve.

Chu Fengmian could see Luo Kang as a magnanimous person who holds no grudges, making such a friend worth the while.

"Indeed, but that’s not all. I’m also here to find someone."

Chu Fengmian faced Luo Kang and admitted openly.

Since Chu Fengmian joined the Holy Dragon Sect, he was now part of it. The sect was more akin to a small family than an organization. Chu Fengmian had no intent to conceal anything.

Except for secrets like the Extreme Immortal Soldier, the Power of Creation, and the Divine Tree, Chu Fengmian hid nothing else.

"Finding someone? Does senior brother have an acquaintance in this Holy Dragon Secret Realm?"

Luo Kang looked peculiarly at Chu Fengmian.

He knew Chu Fengmian’s background; he came from the Demon Ancient Continent, a level seven continent.

It’s said that no one from the Demon Ancient Continent had come to the Holy Dragon Secret Realm for decades, until both Chu Fengmian and Liu Ya arrived.

Chu Fengmian’s sudden intention to find someone surprised him, but Luo Kang promptly offered.

"Who are you looking for? Just tell me. I’ve been around this Holy Dragon Secret Realm for years and have several acquaintances. Just let me know, and I’ll help you out."

Hearing this, Chu Fengmian did not hesitate and spoke directly.

"I’m looking for two people who suddenly came to the Holy Dragon Secret Realm about half a year ago. One is Han Yueli, and the other is Luo Xi. Both are women."

"Han Yueli? Luo Xi?"

Upon hearing these names, Luo Kang widened his eyes, looking at Chu Fengmian with a peculiar expression.

"Are you also here to pursue these two ladies, senior brother?"

"Pursue these two ladies?"

Chu Fengmian was puzzled by this inquiry.

"Are there many pursuing them both?"

"Aren’t you one of them, senior brother?"

With this question, Luo Kang’s expression grew even more bewildered, then he continued.

"Han Yueli and Luo Xi arrived in the Holy Dragon Secret Realm about six months ago. From the start, they exhibited extraordinarily demonic aptitude. In just half a year, their fame spread throughout the Holy Dragon Secret Realm and beyond. Not just in the Holy Dragon Secret Realm, but disciples from Wuxing Tian and Qilin Mountain have flocked to pursue them."

"Some even joined the Holy Dragon Secret Realm solely to pursue them. Aren’t you the same, senior brother?"

"Oh? You’ve misunderstood. I happen to be old acquaintances with them."

Listening to Luo Kang, Chu Fengmian realized that many martial artists and demonic beings must have pursued Han Yueli and Luo Xi recently.

This prompted Luo Kang to assume Chu Fengmian was here for the same reason.

"Old acquaintances? You mean you and the two of them come from the same place?"

Luo Kang examined Chu Fengmian carefully with curiosity.

"No wonder, you’re all exceptionally talented. Where do you marvels come from, one more gifted than the last?"

"Do you know where they are now?"

Chu Fengmian did not continue the topic.

The fact that Chu Fengmian came from the Nine Domains couldn’t be disclosed. The Nine Domains, once a Holy Land, now made Chu Fengmian realize its significance.

If exposed, it could lead to endless troubles in the future.

Chu Fengmian had been a bit rash on the Demon Ancient Continent, having mentioned the Nine Domains. Fortunately, they didn’t know of it.

But here, in the ancient and powerful Holy Dragon Secret Realm, some old beings must be aware of the former Holy Land Nine Domains.

Based on Luo Kang’s words, Han Yueli and Luo Xi hadn’t mentioned their origins either, and Chu Fengmian should not speak of it.

"Meeting them would be nice if there’s a chance."

"I know where they are, but meeting them now is impossible."

Luo Kang replied.

"Both are currently key talents cultivated in the Holy Dragon Secret Realm and are probably in seclusion at a Holy Land within it, making it impossible for them to come out."

"However, if you have something to say, I can pass a message inside. Once they exit seclusion, they can see it."

Passing a message, that works too.

Chu Fengmian nodded in agreement to Luo Kang’s suggestion.

Since arriving on the Demon Ancient Continent, Chu Fengmian had lost contact with Han Yueli and Luo Xi.

Chu Fengmian was only aware of their well-being through the bloodline power he left on them, while they knew nothing about Chu Fengmian.
