Chapter 1466: Chapter 1465: A Boiling Frenzy

"The ancestor of your Wugong Family was an extraordinary figure, a person of great repute."

Amid the noisy discussions among the crowd, Ling Chen’s voice rang out again, quickly silencing the chatter.

"He once unified the entire world, the Nine Provinces, Four Wilderness, Penglai, Yingzhou... all were under his control. Later, he became the first Supreme Expert to shatter the Void."

A sharp glint flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes, "He is the Human Emperor."

Upon hearing the term "Human Emperor," all members of the Wugong Family were shocked. The name of the Human Emperor is well known; even those from Yingzhou are aware of this Supreme Expert who once dominated the Four Seas and Eight Wastes.

But such a Supreme Expert, so distant and exalted—how could he be the ancestor of their Wugong Family?

Many people shook their heads, not quite believing what Ling Chen said.

"What this young brother says is true."

At this moment, a very aged voice sounded from outside the Council Hall.

At the entrance of the hall, an elder wearing a coarse robe, slightly hunched and with snow-white hair, walked inside.

Seeing the robed elder enter the hall, Ling Chen’s gaze also unexpectedly focused; this elder’s aura had reached the level of the Five-fold Saint Realm, surprising him. He hadn’t expected that within the seemingly declining Wugong Family, such a strong expert still existed.

"Great Elder!"

Upon seeing the robed elder, Wugong Shou He, who was in the main seat, hurriedly stood up.

"I didn’t expect that besides myself, there’d be others aware of this secret."

The elder took slow steps into the hall, his gaze settling on Ling Chen with a hint of surprise.

"What, Great Elder means Ling Chen is speaking the truth?"

This immediately stirred a great uproar in the hall. Could their ancestor really be that extraordinary Supreme Expert, the legendary Human Emperor?

"This is the secret that our Wugong Family has preserved through generations, passed down from one Family Head to the next, unknown to others."

The elder looked at Wugong Shou He on the main seat and continued, "Originally, the previous Family Head should have passed this secret to you, but regrettably, he defected before he could relay it, fleeing from the Wugong Family."

"Today, with our Wugong Family facing a critical moment of survival, rather than burying this secret forever, it’s better for you to know you are descendants of the Supreme Expert, the Human Emperor!"

These words instantly ignited the atmosphere in the hall. After experiencing a moment of disbelief, all members of the Wugong Family were thrilled, realizing they were truly descendants of the legendary Human Emperor! Their ancestors were thought to be glorious, but the real situation was a hundred times more magnificent than imagined!

"We are descendants of the Supreme Expert, the Human Emperor, carrying his blood. Even if the clan is destroyed, we must defend this honor to our deaths!"

The elder spoke with passionate emotion.

"The Great Elder is right. We are the Emperor’s descendants. Even if we die in battle, we must not disgrace the old man’s reputation!"

"Let the scum of the Fengmo Clan and Shangquan Family come; we’ll fight them to the end, even in death, we’ll take a piece of them!"

"Exactly, our Wugong Family must not perish like this. Even at the last moment of life, we must let the family blaze with its final glory!"

In the Council Hall, the discussions were lively and impassioned, transforming the previous gloom into fiery determination and a will to fight.

"Now that’s more like it."

Ling Chen’s mind reflected on the voice of the Human Emperor, who seemed quite satisfied with the scene before him.

"No matter how destitute, as descendants of the Human Emperor, the last thing you should lose is your spirit. Even if you die, stand courageously, never live in cowardice."

Ling Chen observed the scene, his eyes shining faintly. Their fighting spirit was high now, and in the upcoming battle with those two families, they should not be a scattered force.

However, the Wugong Family had too few top-tier experts; only the Great Elder had decent strength. The others, including Wugong Shou He, the Family Head, had cultivation at merely the Saint Realm Second Layer, which was insufficient for any significant impact.

Although it was a battle between family forces, ultimately, it was the clash of top experts that mattered most.

Given this, the Wugong Family seemed almost in a state of being crushed, unlikely competitors against the Fengmo and Shangquan Families. Nevertheless, since Ling Chen was here, he would try against all odds. Human effort might change the situation, securing a lifeline for the Wugong Family!

...

Meanwhile, in the southeastern region of Yingzhou, within the Izumo Shrine.

In the spacious temple, Heize Seimei was leading numerous priests and shrine maidens in a ritual when suddenly, a loud rushing wind sounded. In the next instant, a figure hurriedly barged in from outside the shrine, breaking the tranquility.

Heize Seimei furrowed his brows and turned, seeing a black-clad person, none other than Tu Yumen, rushing in frantically.

Seeing Tu Yumen so impatiently enter the shrine, Heize Seimei’s eyes slightly contracted. Could Ling Chen really have an opportunity over there?

With this thought, he immediately stood up from the mat, waved his hand, and told the priests and shrine maidens to disperse.

Once everyone had exited the shrine, Tu Yumen happily looked at Heize Seimei, grinning widely, "Lord Kurozawa, great news! Ling Chen has left the Bei Chuan Family!"

"Oh?"

Heize Seimei raised an eyebrow but then furrowed it again, "However, we are not fully prepared. Acting now might be too hasty."

In considering an attack on Ling Chen, Heize Seimei intended that when the time came, they would decisively neutralize Ling Chen, leaving him no chance to rise again!

"Not hasty, not hasty at all."

Tu Yumen quickly shook his head, "Now is the best time to kill this brat! If we miss this, there might not be another chance!"

"Is that so?" Heize Seimei’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Tu Yumen nodded with a smile, "That kid seems completely unaware of his situation. He even dares to appear on San Chuan Island, helping some so-called Wugong Family, a second-rate family, openly opposing the two major first-rate families, Fengmo and Shangquan!"

"I just received news that in two days, Fengmo and Shangquan’s forces will set foot on San Chuan Island. Surely there will be a great battle! Ling Chen alone can’t stand against these two families; defeat is certain. We, the shrine, can profit as the proverbial fisherman!"

After hearing Tu Yumen’s words, Heize Seimei’s eyes gleamed with excitement, and a brilliant smile spread across his face.

"Alright, alright! I hadn’t expected this brat to be so death-prone."

Heize Seimei’s smile turned a bit sinister. If he were Ling Chen, he would hide for a time, tread carefully, and avoid any major disturbances. Ling Chen, however, did the opposite, creating such a commotion shortly after a pause, truly courting death...

Then a sharp determination flashed in his eyes, "How can we miss such a delivered opportunity? Notify everyone and prepare to move out immediately—target, San Chuan Island!"
