CHAPTER 394: CHAPTER 260: LEARNING FROM MONKEY BROTHER (PART 2)

A master of the Seventh Realm.

Within a ten li radius, with the observation of ’Double Pupils’, the opponent’s life flame would be as bright as a furnace, extremely conspicuous compared to ordinary people.

Very soon,

Chen Ku identified a total of five life flames at the Seventh Realm level within this range of power.

His mind was shaken.

He resided in his home at the Qiu Dragon Mansion, in the East District, a li away was the Three Emperors Ancestral Masters Association.

In this vast East District, there were several martial associations ranked in the top ten of the Qiu Dragon Mansion, with Seventh Realm figures stationed there was not unusual.

And the ones closest to Chen Ku’s home were two martial associations ranked in the top ten.

One was called ’Divine Horse Association’, with over a thousand brothers, having emerged in Qiu Dragon for over thirty years. The hall leader Ma Tianyu traversed the world with a pitch-black Treasure Blade, ranking as the sixth highest expert in the Qiu Dragon White Dao!

The other one was familiar to Chen Ku.

It was the Hongwu Meeting, from which Pei Qingzhi hailed, the largest martial association under the Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting.

Its founder claimed to be the ’Purple Gold Elder’, who was once the second-highest expert of the Qiu Dragon Mansion’s Black Path, later defeated by Qin Yuxian, and expressed being deeply impressed, thus turning to the White Dao and founding the Hongwu Meeting.

The Hongwu Meeting also had over a thousand members, and now the Purple Gold Elder has passed the leadership to his adopted son Li Tiansheng.

According to some rumors:

This current Hongwu Meeting leader, Li Tiansheng, is suspected to be the illegitimate child of Lord Prefect Li Lishan and a courtesan, deliberately sent to the Purple Gold Elder’s door to acknowledge him as his adopted father.

Chen Ku had also heard about this while exploring the intelligence on Qiu Dragon Mansion’s power factions.

It was said that Li Tiansheng had already mastered the full skill of the Purple Gold Elder’s Heart-Pushing Divine Palm, making it the only martial association in Qiu Dragon Mansion possessing two Seventh Realm masters.

Of course, this was unknown to everyone because, besides the apparent Grandmaster Qin Yuxian, the Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting had another hidden inner expert, ’Shan Lingguan’.

However,

even if the Hongwu Meeting had two Seventh Realm masters and the Divine Horse Association had one Seventh Realm master.

That should only be three life flames of Seventh Realm in total.

How could it be?

Chen Ku suddenly saw that in the direction of the Hongwu Meeting, especially in the main base of the Hongwu Meeting, there were actually ’four’ life flames at the Seventh Realm Gang Control level!

"Could it be that the so-called Mr. Tianji is within the Hongwu Meeting?"

Just as Chen Ku formed this thought.

The Transformation Diagram in his mind sounded a warning again:

[The Purple Gold Elder intends harm to the master, suppress and kill to obtain Seventh Realm Evil Qi]

[Li Tiansheng intends harm to the master, suppress and kill to obtain Seventh Realm Evil Qi]

Once Chen Ku heard this.

There was no need to guess anymore.

"Mr. Tianji, Purple Gold Elder, the current Hongwu Meeting leader Li Tiansheng, I would like to know exactly how I, Chen Ku, have offended you all to the extent of all harboring harmful intentions against me."

As he maximized the speed of his Electric Light Divine Walk, Chen Ku was aware that, in an open and fair duel, he was not a match for any Seventh Realm master, yet he was confident of escaping in front of any Seventh Realm master.

Then, he shrank his form into a sesame-sized insect and directly approached the direction of the Hongwu Meeting.

But if you looked closely, that little insect was actually a tiny Flood Dragon, just that it was invisible to the naked eye.

As Chen Ku reached the Hongwu Meeting, flying in mid-air, he found the location of the four Seventh Realm figures, all seated in a side room within the Hongwu Meeting.

As the weather was hot, a few of them had watermelon in front of them, and there were ice blocks in the room to cool down.

The Purple Gold Elder was an old man with a beard already entirely white, seemingly asleep on a Taishi Chair, and in front of him was a valiant, middle-aged one-eyed man, the current leader of the Hongwu Meeting, Li Tiansheng, who turned to the two people on the opposite chairs:

"Father had already retired from the Black Path for many years, how could he cooperate with you?"

"Now Qin Yuxian is missing, whereabouts unknown, it’s evident that the entire Qiu Dragon Mansion is anticipating a new ’Alliance Hierarch’ to emerge. Among the Thirty-Six Martial Associations, only the senior Purple Gold Elder has the prestige and qualifications to suppress everyone."

Mr. Tianji shook his fan, leisurely saying:

"You spent the first half of your life being suppressed by Qin Yuxian, and now that Qin Yuxian is finally gone, do you really want to give the opportunity to this junior Chen Ku? Letting him become the second Qin Yuxian? To oppress you in the second half of your life and also cause Chairman Li to be unable to raise his head?"

"Chen Ku? Just him?" Li Tiansheng sneered coldly.

"I mean, Chairman Li, after all, you’re the people in Qiu Dragon City, how... didn’t you hear about Chen Ku defeating the Little Grandmaster Zhou Li and signing the Martial Arts Scholar’s achievements? Even our Heaven King has heard of it, but you pretend not to know?"

Mr. Tianji lightly laughed:

"Not as good as Qin Yuxian? Isn’t someone like that not as good as Qin Yuxian? What was Qin Yuxian doing at the age of seventeen? Isn’t Qin Yuxian inferior to the present Chen Ku!"

Li Tiansheng opened his mouth, his eyes complex, but had to admit...

The rise of this Chen Ku, his natural talent and strength, all make one feel dreadfully astonished!

At this moment.

The Purple Gold Elder, who had his eyes closed, seemed to awaken from sleep and slowly murmured:

"I’m aware of this matter, even at seventeen, Qin Yuxian wasn’t this formidable, Mr. Tianji, just tell us, what do you plan to do? How do we cooperate?"

"Candidly speaking, our Heaven King has taken an interest in Chen Ku and doesn’t want him to become a formidable future adversary for our Liang Mountain, hoping he can join Liang Mountain."

Mr. Tianji’s eyelids closed, saying:

"So this matter is simple; if I join forces with the senior to force Chen Ku onto Liang Mountain, we can thus gain an unparalleled genius youth, a future hero, while Qiu Dragon Mansion, without this troublesome figure, lets the senior replace Qin Yuxian, establish a new Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting, becoming the new ’Qiu Dragon Mansion White Dao’s first man’, wouldn’t that be a perfect solution?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tiansheng immediately looked towards his adoptive father.

The Purple Gold Elder slowly opened his eyelid: "How to force him?"

He didn’t notice that a sesame-sized bug perched on the beam was attentively listening...

Mr. Tianji smiled slightly while looking at Li Tiansheng, saying:

"I heard that Lord Prefect Li Lishan, at the age of sixty, had a legitimate son who is now only six years old, brought up in the mansion, and since Chen Ku is not tasked to eliminate the Three Dragon Mountain bandits, we can take the opportunity to kidnap the Prefect’s young son and kill him in Chen Ku’s house, make it authentic enough. Even if, in anger, the Lord Prefect notices the oddness, he won’t spare the family, and he’ll hunt him down. Then, we arrange for him to kill some official army men at the Three Dragon Mountain to finalize his treachery.

By then, where else can he go but the Liang Mountain?"

"The Prefect’s young son..."

Li Tiansheng and the Purple Gold Elder simultaneously looked at Mr. Tianji.

"Who’s going to do it?"

"When it comes to familiarity with the Prefect’s house, of course, only Chairman Li can accomplish this task."

Upon hearing this, furious flames surged inside Chen Ku’s heart:

"What a vicious, conniving strategist!"

If the opposition truly accomplished these deeds, I would be left with no choice but to become an outlaw in the mountains.

"Damn it! Trying to harm me?"

He squinted his eyes, looking at the four people.

He saw that Li Tiansheng seemed to ponder for a long time before finally saying in a low voice: "I can’t do it alone, you need someone to go with me!"

Mr. Tianji, as if prepared, pointed his feather fan at the black-faced man beside him and smiled: "My camp’s Killing Star can lend Chairman Li a hand."

"Hehe." The black-faced man lifted a piece of watermelon and smiled: "I’m familiar with this matter, if you can’t muster the courage, I’ll throw the kid for you."

Saying so, he grabbed the watermelon and took a bite.

Seeing this, Chen Ku transformed into a tiny shadow, dropping onto the watermelon seed:

"Today, I’ll learn from Monkey Brother and take a trip through your guts, let’s see how you harm me!"

Without the black-faced man’s notice, he swallowed Chen Ku whole, along with the watermelon pulp, into his stomach.
