This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Having the opportunity to witness a duel between two cultivators in the advanced stage of the Tianren realm is a spectacle that rarely comes once in a lifetime.

It’s absolutely worth it! This would become a perfect topic for bragging in the future, certainly attracting endless envy from others.

Meanwhile.

After crossing one move with Du TianGang, Shang Jiping was floating above the Peace River. Any previous disdain was completely wiped from his eyes, replaced by a solemn demeanor.

Whether they liked it or not, they had to admit that the one in front of them was indeed a tough opponent!

"Quite a ’Slaughter Spirit Hand’, Du TianGang," Shang Jiping’s voice was slightly hoarse, "You certainly lived up to your stature as the third rank of Jiaolong Gang, truly an eye-opener for me."

"Primordial Water True Verses!" Du TianGang squinted, "This is the mysterious technique of the Primordial Water lineage from Longzuo Academy. I suspect your background might not be that simple. The academy always refrains from interfering in local power disputes. Could it be that you’re intending to break this rule?"

Regardless of his rough and bold appearance, Du TianGang was actually a thoughtful person at heart. It was not surprising that he was noticed by Long Wuji among the talented members of the Jiaolong Gang and was gradually promoted to the position of the Third Master.

"I am indeed an Elder from the Academy," Shang Jiping did not deny this, his gaze remained tranquil, "However, I am also the old servant of Miss Wang Liyao."

Miss Wang Liyao’s old servant?

With a solemn look on his face, Du TianGang spoke with a deep voice, "Is Miss Liyao affiliated to the Wang family? What kind of virtue or talent does she possess to have Elder Shang as her servant?"

Shang Jiping raised his head slightly, seemingly wearing a genuine smile of satisfaction, "Our Miss Liyao is a Tianhe’s Legitimate Successor blessed with Great Heavenly Proud talent rarely seen in the world. It is the greatest honor of my life to serve her."

Great Heavenly Proud!

Tianhe’s Legitimate Successor?

One shocking revelation came after another made Du TianGang, suspended in the air, falter and almost fall.

Is this a joke? Great Heavenly Proud, the Wang family actually has a Great Heavenly Proud?

And this Heavenly Proud is even Tianhe’s Legitimate Successor?

Everyone should know that the status of a Legitimate Successor is different from a Direct Disciple. Even though the honorable and enlightened masters usually have few direct disciples.

But Legitimate Successor is different.

In the academic palace, the status of a Legitimate Successor is as same as that of a Young Clan Leader in a prominent family, who can inherit everything from their mentor, including Cultivation Techniques, Mystical Techniques, identity, spirit artifacts, and even all the property and connections.

From this, it can be seen that Miss Liyao’s status in Tianhe’s eyes is extraordinary.

The onlookers at the ferry crossing, due to limitations in their knowledge, might not fully comprehend the underlying implications of the situation.

Yet even in their eyes, a person in the Tianren realm was heavenly, and one in the Purple Abode realm was a legendary figure. Still, they could vaguely sense that this Miss Liyao from the Wang family had an unusually high status, as she even had a Tianren realm cultivator as her servant.

However, on the ship of the Jiaolong Gang.

Jiang Yusong and Long Wuji looked at each other and perceived shock and serious implications in each other’s eyes.

Tianhe!

That was a great figure in the Divine Power Territory, the Principal of the Longzuo Academy. Even in the whole of Da Qian, He was a top-notch figure.

In the initial investigation, they only found out that the Wang family had higher status individuals. However, who would have imagined they had hidden yet another Great Heavenly Proud?

Great Heavenly Prouds have high potential and are treasures of the human race.

Usually, they hold unique statuses and are taught by mentors who are highly respected figures, usually beyond the reach of any average Purple Abode realm cultivator unless they stumble upon them by accident.

While Long Wuji might not think much of the Sky Pride Cao Youqing from the sacred land, he had to take into consideration Wang Liyao, Tianhe’s Legitimate Successor.

For someone of Wang Liyao’s status, even if they went to the national capital to meet the Emperor, they had a chance of getting an audience. The Emperor would most likely treat them kindly and enquire about their welfare.

After all, such talent, provided they don’t rebel against their country, is guaranteed to become a cornerstone for their nation.

"Great Commander," Jiang Yusong apologized with a bow, "All this is my mistake. I failed to investigate such crucial information."

"Never mind."

Long Wuji regained his usual demeanor instantly, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Interesting, the Wang family of Changning is indeed interesting~~~ Their potential and depth are deep enough, even I almost didn’t notice. However, while Great Heavenly Prouds are important, they are just that—important. And no matter how powerful Tianhe is, there are limits to his biased support for the Wang family."

"Besides, it’s not like Tianhe is the only Enlightened One in the world."

Long Wuji seemed calm and confident, twirling a finger, "I have begun to take an interest in the well-known Family Head of the Wang family, Wang Shouzhe. Send an invitation to him, I hope to have a chat with him on this ship."

Sitting on his Taishi Chair was a strong man with a full face of a beard. After hearing Long Wuji’s words, he stood up and laughed, "Great Commander, I am also curious about this Wang Shouzhe~ Why don’t I invite him on your behalf in this trip."

He was Gao Tian, the fourteenth rank in the Jiaolong Gang, also known as "Desolate Blade". He was originally one of the Great Commanders of the Jiaolong Gang, just recently entered the Tianren realm not long ago, and is currently eager to prove his worth. Seeing the rare opportunity before him, he naturally wanted to seize the chance to make a good impression.

Long Wuji was well aware of his little scheme.

However, the rule in the Jiaolong Gang had always been "survival of the fittest", as long as Gao Tian could handle the matter well, he wouldn’t mind such small schemes.
