Chapter 323: Greetings, Young Master
Celestial Witch Sect?
Saint Heir?
Cheng Yuan frowned. ’What is all this nonsense?’
"I’m not any Saint Heir. I’ve never heard of the Celestial Witch Sect, and I don’t know your master."
Xuanyuan Potian didn’t believe Cheng Yuan at all. "Cheng Yuan, you know the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes. How could you not know about the Celestial Witch Sect? How could you not know my master?"
Cheng Yuan narrowed his eyes. ’So this Cultivation Technique is called the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes?’
"I have no reason to lie to you. Speaking of the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes, how did you come by it?"
Xuanyuan Potian answered truthfully, "When I was a junior in college, an old janitor at the school passed it down to me. Unfortunately, the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes I received was incomplete. After all these years, I’ve only managed to learn one move, ’Moving Mountains,’ and every time I use it, I suffer from a backlash."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Potian glanced at his arms, where many blood vessels and Meridians had already burst.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Potian had already reached the realm of a Martial Emperor, and his body was extremely tough. Otherwise, his arms would have been crippled!
Suddenly, something occurred to Xuanyuan Potian. He jerked his head up to look at Cheng Yuan, his eyes widening in shock!
Cheng Yuan didn’t have a single wound on him!
This meant his Celestial Witch Nine Extremes was the complete version!!
Xuanyuan Potian trembled with excitement!
Since Cheng Yuan wasn’t the Saint Heir of the Celestial Witch Sect and didn’t even know about it, he didn’t have to be polite anymore!
WHOOSH!
Xuanyuan Potian shot to his feet!
Xuanyuan Potian stared intently at Cheng Yuan. "Cheng Yuan! Write down the complete Celestial Witch Nine Extremes Secret Technique immediately! I will consider the grudge between us settled! Otherwise, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
Cheng Yuan was visibly stunned for a moment. "Xuanyuan Potian, you’re the one I defeated. How dare you be so brazen?"
Xuanyuan Potian slowly pulled a controller from his pocket, his eyes fixed on Cheng Yuan with a crazed look.
"Cheng Yuan, I admit I’m not your match, but I can take you down with me! This is the controller for a Dongfeng Express missile launcher. As soon as I press this button, the entire War God Mansion will be reduced to nothing! You have a great future ahead of you. Do you really want to die here with me?"
A sudden chill ran down Cheng Yuan’s spine as an intense sense of crisis washed over him!
Cheng Yuan was absolutely certain that the Dongfeng Express missile launcher was real! And Xuanyuan Potian really would dare to press the button and die with him!
The Xuanyuan Potian right now was a complete and utter madman!
Of course, Cheng Yuan had no intention of perishing with Xuanyuan Potian. He said in a low voice, "Xuanyuan Potian, calm down. It’s just a Cultivation Technique, isn’t it? I’ll write it down for you!"
As he spoke, Cheng Yuan stared intently into Xuanyuan Potian’s eyes. The moment he saw a slight relaxation in Xuanyuan Potian’s focus, Cheng Yuan unleashed a full-power Spiritual Attack from his Double Pupil!
BZZZT!!
An invisible wave of Spiritual Shock shot straight toward Xuanyuan Potian!
Caught completely off guard, Xuanyuan Potian was hit instantly!
Xuanyuan Potian’s pupils slightly dilated as he entered a brief trance!
Seizing this golden opportunity, Cheng Yuan’s figure flickered. He appeared instantly in front of Xuanyuan Potian and snatched the missile launcher’s controller from his hand!
The feeling of mortal danger finally vanished.
Cheng Yuan let out a long sigh of relief!
’That was too dangerous!’
’That was just far too dangerous!’
With a CRACK, Cheng Yuan crushed the Dongfeng Express missile controller, which let out a sizzling sound!
Only then did Xuanyuan Potian snap out of it. He subconsciously raised a hand to his head and shouted, "Cheng Yuan, what did you do? Did you think I really wouldn’t dare to die with you?"
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Potian pressed down hard with his finger, but he didn’t feel the familiar button.
Xuanyuan Potian froze, only then realizing that the missile controller had already been crushed by Cheng Yuan!
For the first time, Xuanyuan Potian felt so powerless!
He couldn’t win in a fight, and he couldn’t even manage to take his enemy down with him!
Xuanyuan Potian stared at Cheng Yuan. "Cheng Yuan, what was that technique you just used? Why does it feel like I’ve lost a piece of my memory?"
"I don’t mind telling you. It was a Spiritual Shock."
Xuanyuan Potian gave a bitter laugh. "Not only do you possess the power of a Martial Emperor Peak, but you also have such formidable mastery of Techniques. I have no complaints about losing. Go on, do it. Give me a quick death!"
Cheng Yuan said calmly, "Xuanyuan Potian, stop pretending to be so unafraid of death. You know I’m not going to kill you. Decades ago, there was an ambush in the Ancient Martial Realm. More than half of the Ancient Martial Realm’s forces were mobilized. What do you know about it? Did you take part?"
BZZZT!!
It was as if Xuanyuan Potian’s mind exploded. He stared intently at Cheng Yuan!
"How do you know about that ambush? Even I was just a child back then! Who in the world are you?"
"I don’t mind telling you. The one they ambushed was my grandmother."
Xuanyuan Potian’s pupils contracted slightly. ’No wonder Cheng Yuan denied being the Saint Heir of the Celestial Witch Sect and denied knowing about the sect at all!’
’So, he’s the Young Master!!’
THUD!
Xuanyuan Potian dropped to his knees!
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Xuanyuan Potian performed three loud, respectful kowtows!
Huh?
Cheng Yuan was dumbfounded, looking at Xuanyuan Potian in complete confusion.
Xuanyuan Potian was a War God of the Battle Department, a man second to one and above ten thousand!
He was a high-ranking official in charge of the defense of two provinces!
A pivotal figure in the Dragon Country!
Cheng Yuan couldn’t understand for the life of him why Xuanyuan Potian would kneel.
Why would he kowtow to him?
Xuanyuan Potian kowtowed with such force that his forehead broke open, and bright red blood began to flow!
But Xuanyuan Potian didn’t seem to feel any pain. On the contrary, he was trembling with excitement!
Even when suffering near-fatal wounds on the battlefield, Xuanyuan Potian would remain unmoved. But now, his eyes were red, and his voice trembled!
"This old slave greets the Young Master!!"
’Young Master??’
Cheng Yuan rolled his eyes. "Xuanyuan War God, have you got the wrong person? We’ve never met before, have we? How could I possibly be your Young Master?"
Xuanyuan Potian’s tone was certain, his gaze intensely fervent.
"Young Master, when this old slave first saw you, I felt you looked familiar. I just... I didn’t consider this possibility! Thinking back now, you truly resemble the Master! Young Master, please take a look at the Master’s portrait!"
With that, Xuanyuan Potian took a scroll from his robes.
Cheng Yuan unrolled the scroll and felt a jolt, as if he’d been struck by lightning. His whole body went numb!
It was a very evocative portrait.
On the scroll was a woman of breathtaking beauty. Cheng Yuan was absolutely certain he had never seen her before!
And yet, the woman felt deeply familiar. She was a ninety percent match for his father and an eighty percent match for himself!
’Is... is this my grandmother?’
Cheng Yuan’s eyes grew moist. He fought to control his emotions, struggling to keep his tears from falling!
Cheng Yuan’s gaze toward Xuanyuan Potian softened considerably. ’Since he’s one of our own, there’s no need for any more fighting.’
Cheng Yuan reached out, helped Xuanyuan Potian to his feet, and said in a gentle voice, "Xuanyuan War God, can you tell me about my grandmother? I want to hear everything."
