Chapter 191: Chen Clan's Chen Zilong

"Halt! This place is off limits!" said the leader of the group . The group looked powerful, and there were about 40 or 50 people . The leader was a peak Transformation Realm cultivator, and there were a lot of other Transformation Realm cultivators among their ranks as well . As for the other members of the group, they were regular Astral Realm cultivators .

"Impudent! What gives you the qualification to block this path?" berated a late-stage Transformation Realm cultivator from the Gong Clan .

"Qualification? Because we are from the Chen Clan!" said the leader haughtily .

The moment the Gong Clan people heard that, they grew wary . The Chen Clan was most certainly the number one clan of Cloud Margin City . Their ancestor was one of the 10 Emperors, and they had an extremely close relationship with the Cloud Margin Pavilion .

The likes of the Gong Clan and Wen Clan were completely incomparable to the Chen Clan, not even if the two clans merged . With only one Emperor, the entire clan would enjoy glory; that was the pride of a clan with an Emperor . Only those from the Chen Clan would dare seal the path to the Flame Mountain . Any other person trying the same would have been chased off long ago .

"The Chen Clan is the strongest clan in Cloud Margin City, and they also have an Emperor . Looks like we have no choice but to leave," whispered Gong Qinyin .

"Alright . " Xiang Shaoyun made the decision to retreat without a second thought . It wasn't that he was giving up on the earthcore fire, but presently, he couldn't afford to act rashly . He had to plan his moves carefully .

Right as Xiang Shaoyun's group was retreating, a different group arrived . Xiang Shaoyun glanced over and saw that Li Yaxuan was among the group . She also looked to be one of the group's leaders .

Li Yaxuan was also looking over at Xiang Shaoyun, and their gazes met . An elegant smile formed on her face as she said, "What a coincidence . We meet again . "

"Yes, what a coincidence . " Xiang Shaoyun nodded .

"Sister Xuan, who is this?" asked a young man beside Li Yaxuan .

Like Xie Sanqian, that young man was about 17 or 18 years old . At such a young age, he was already a seventh-stage Transformation Realm cultivator, two stages higher than Xie Sanqian . Even at a place like Cloud Margin City, he definitely qualified as a genius among geniuses .

Even Xiang Shaoyun was astonished when he saw the young man . He thought, It is quite a surprise to see such a remarkable genius at a tiny city like Cloud Margin City . This young genius is already comparable to the geniuses of tier-5 organizations .

The young man wasn't breathtakingly handsome, but he looked decent and had a face that one would never get tired of looking at . He was dressed in a thin outfit, showcasing his robust body . It was obvious he was also a hardworking cultivator .

"Overlord Xiang," Li Yaxuan gave a short introduction .

"The one who defeated Xie Sanqian and killed Ye Xuan?" the young man cried out in astonishment .

"That's right . " Li Yaxuan nodded .

The young man stared at Xiang Shaoyun with a burning gaze, like a predator that had laid his eyes on a delicious prey . The gaze caused Xiang Shaoyun to have goosebumps .

"I challenge you to a fight!" the young man challenged with a surging battle intent .

Xiang Shaoyun blanked out momentarily before saying, "Why should I fight you?"

"Because I am the only one who can help you get through this blockade, allowing you to go search for the earthcore fire," said the young man confidently .

A doubtful expression surfaced on Xiang Shaoyun's face . Seeing that, Li Yaxuan explained, "He is Chen Zilong of Chen Clan . "

Right after she said that, the group that had blocked Xiang Shaoyun's path walked over and bowed to Chen Zilong . "Greetings, young master . "

The people in the group moved in a uniformed manner . It was obvious they were all well-trained .

"Rise," Chen Zilong said . He then looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "So long as you can defeat me, I will tell them to allow you passage . What do you think?"

"I am not interested in fighting you . " Xiang Shaoyun shook his head .

Still mounted on his qilin lion, Chen Zilong said unhappily, "What? Do you look down on this young master?"

"Of course not . But your cultivation level is higher than mine . It is obvious you are bullying someone with a lower cultivation level than you . That is not a fair fight," Xiang Shaoyun said calmly .

"My cultivation level is higher than yours? I thought you have been hiding your cultivation level?" Chen Zilong asked in astonishment .

He was clear on the strength of both Xie Sanqian and Ye Xuan . If Xiang Shaoyun had defeated both of them, it was only understandable that Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation level wouldn't be too low .

He could sense that Xiang Shaoyun only had a cultivation level of second-stage Transformation Realm, but he was also aware that some treasures could help one hide one's real cultivation level . That was why he was so sure Xiang Shaoyun had been hiding his cultivation level . But since Xiang Shaoyun was not admitting to it, he started wondering if Xiang Shaoyun was lying to his face .

Xiang Shaoyun merely released all his aura, revealing his peak second-stage Transformation Realm aura to everyone . To the side, Li Yaxuan clarified, "I can confirm that he is definitely a second-stage Transformation Realm cultivator . He is not hiding anything . "

"With a cultivation level of second-stage Transformation Realm, you defeated Xie Sanqian and Ye Xuan . You are a genius capable of punching many levels above your weight!" Chen Zilong immediately grew excited . He paused for a bit before adding, "Too bad you are a tad bit too old . But that doesn't matter . This young master shall allow you an opportunity to become my follower . What do you think about that?"

With the mask on, Xiang Shaoyun looked like he was in his twenties . Reaching the second-stage Transformation Realm at that age wasn't anything special . But since he could punch above his weight, Chen Zilong concluded that he definitely had a secret technique allowing him to do so .

Thus, Chen Zilong changed his mind and decided to make Xiang Shaoyun his follower instead . He felt that it would be very cool to have a follower that powerful . Xiang Shaoyun merely laughed at his offer .

"HAHAHAHA . . . " Xiang Shaoyun roared with laughter, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world .

As a young master of a tier-7 organization who once had countless followers, even if he had fallen from grace, he was still not someone anyone could speak so haughtily against .

A young master of a mere Emperor clan dared to speak like that to him? How laughable! In truth, Xiang Shaoyun wasn't laughing at Chen Zilong's arrogance . He was only laughing at himself, laughing at how low he had fallen .

"Impudent! What is that attitude!" berated a young man beside Chen Zilong .

That young man was one of Chen Zilong's followers . He was no less talented than Xie Sanqian . He was one year older than Xie Sanqian and was also a fifth-stage Transformation Realm cultivator . He was also an inner disciple of the Cloud Margin Pavilion, and his name was Ji Jiuhan .

Xiang Shaoyun completely ignored Ji Jiuhan and gazed at Chen Zilong before saying, "Since you want to fight me so badly, I shall grant your wish . If I beat you, you shall be my follower instead . "

Everyone blanked out upon hearing that . None of them had expected that Xiang Shaoyun, who just a moment ago was claiming that he was being bullied, would suddenly accept the challenge .

At the same time, the people there wondered, Has he really never heard of the number one young master of Cloud Margin City?
