Dragon God Supreme-Chapter 106 - Huangfu Zhantian
Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Huangfu Zhantian
Tianyun Sect was situated in the mountains to the south of Tianzhou, where a majestic and grandiose palace was built atop a towering peak. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the palace was enshrouded in clouds and mist all year long, resembling a Fairy Mountain.
As the most powerful sect of the Yanhuo Empire, Tianyun Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, among whom were many formidable experts.
Inside a small palace of Tianyun Sect was the personal chamber assigned to Huangfu Zhantian, showing the extremely high regard in which he was held by the sect.
Huangfu Zhantian possessed an extraordinarily high talent, almost matching that of an Eighth Grade Martial Soul, and his cultivation had reached the Fifth Level of Yuandan Realm, making him extremely powerful.
Among the many disciples of Tianyun Sect, Huangfu Zhantian ranked in the top three in terms of strength!
The one with the strongest cultivation was Tianyun Sect’s Young Sect Master, Ao Tian, who was a few years older than Huangfu Zhantian and had reached the Seventh Layer of the Yuandan Realm, with a truly terrifying strength.
...
Huangfu Zhantian stood at the doorway, his gaze fixed on the sky, his appearance cold and aloof, his eyes carrying a hint of ferocity that made it difficult for others to meet his gaze.
“Huangfu Elder Brother, the Sect Master and Elders are waiting for you in the great hall,”
At this moment, a disciple came to inform him.
“Has Sister Ling’er returned yet?” Huangfu Zhantian asked emotionlessly.
“No… not yet,” the disciple replied, his voice trembling with fear.
The news from Unmatched City was already known to all the disciples of Tianyun Sect, and at this moment, everyone was aware of Huangfu Zhantian’s anger.
It had been twelve hours since the battle ended, and Mo Ling’er had not yet returned to Tianyun Sect, causing Huangfu Zhantian to worry.
Given Mo Ling’er’s cultivation, traveling from Unmatched City to Tianyun Sect should take no more than twelve hours.
Now that so much time had passed without her return, one couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened.
“Inform me immediately when Sister Ling’er returns,” Huangfu Zhantian instructed, and only afterwards did he head towards the great hall.
Passing through the palace square, many disciples respectfully greeted him as “Huangfu Elder Brother,” demonstrating his high status within Tianyun Sect.
“This incident has hit Huangfu Junior Brother hard. Let’s not disturb him for the time being,” at the entrance of another small palace, several disciples watched Huangfu Zhantian head towards the great hall, as one man spoke softly.
“Big Brother, I heard that Feng Wuchen is still a nominal student of the academy and possesses the Ninth Level cultivation of the Transformative Realm. That kid isn’t simple; otherwise, Huangfu Junior Brother wouldn’t have died by his hand,” said another disciple.

“Huangfu Elder Brother will never let him off. We of Tianyun Sect are not people anyone can kill,” another disciple said with a cold laugh.
“Feng Wuchen is the Empire’s Grand Commander, a man of high position and great authority. We’re not in a position to discuss this matter. Shut your mouths—the Sect Master and Elders will deal with it accordingly,” the man known as Big Brother said indifferently.
Huangfu Zhantian entered the great hall, where the Sect Master, Elders, and senior members of Tianyun Sect were already waiting.
The middle-aged man sitting in the seat of honor was none other than the Sect Master of Tianyun Sect, Gu Qingxuan, who exuded an extremely formidable aura. Even though he restrained it intentionally, one could still sense the powerful and terrifying presence.
Dressed in black, luxurious brocade, with long hair wrapped up, Gu Qingxuan had a rather handsome face, and the aura emanating from him was that of the Tianyuan Realm!
Next to Gu Qingxuan was Tianyun Sect’s protector, Gu Qingshan, his younger brother, who possessed an Eighth Layers cultivation of the Yuandan Realm.
Below the main seat, the Grand Elder Lv Xingchen was seated, white-haired and wrinkled, yet a powerful cultivator at the Eight Layers of the Yuandan Realm—and an Alchemist as well!
Lv Xingchen was renowned throughout the Empire, revered as the State Preceptor, superior in status.
The Second Elder, Leng Xuanfeng, also an elderly man in grey robes, held a Seventh Level cultivation of the Yuandan Realm.
The Third Elder, Yi Yun, at the Sixth Layer of the Yuandan Realm, was also the elder in charge of the daily affairs of Tianyun Sect, managing numerous minor matters.
Just these few individuals’ terrifying cultivation levels revealed the formidable strength of Tianyun Sect, not to mention the several hundred Yuandan Realm experts within the sect.
“I pay my respects to the Sect Master, the protector, and the Elders,” Huangfu Zhantian greeted respectfully.
Gu Qingxuan nodded and said gravely, “Zhantian, you are a genius disciple of Tianyun Sect, and you know that the sect values you greatly. We are all aware of what happened to the Huangfu family, and we hope such an incident would never occur. We’ve called you here to hear your thoughts on the matter.”
“The cultivation Tianyun Sect has invested in me, Zhantian will forever hold in his heart. Without Tianyun Sect, there would be no me today! I, Huangfu Zhantian, was born a man of Tianyun Sect, and in death, I shall be a ghost of Tianyun Sect,” affirmed Huangfu Zhantian with firm conviction.
“We are deeply saddened by what happened to the Huangfu family and are concerned that it might affect your cultivation,” said protector Gu Qingshan.
Huangfu Zhantian fell silent; the issue involved both the Empire and Tianyun Sect, and if not handled properly, the consequences were unthinkable.
Glancing at Huangfu Zhantian, Gu Qingxuan said, “Zhantian, the Huangfu family was in the wrong in this incident. At Feng Zhengxiong’s grand celebration, the Yang family and Mo family sought to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate the Feng family, and the Huangfu family aided them—it truly was an act of insubordination.”
More than insubordination, it was a deliberate attempt to annihilate the Feng family!
That Feng Wuchen did not immediately order Huangfu family to be eradicated shows his mercy.
“However, the fact that Feng Wuchen killed a disciple of our Tianyun Sect – that cannot be let go easily,” said the Third Elder Yi Yun sternly.
Huangfu Zhantian spoke gravely, “Sect Master, I’m also aware that what the Huangfu family did was disrespectful to the Grand Commander, an act of insubordination, but the Grand Commander killed my brother, killed the Great Elder of the Huangfu family, and I absolutely cannot tolerate this.”
In principle, Huangfu Zhantian knew it was the fault of the Huangfu family, but no matter what, Huangfu Qing was his brother, how could he stand idly by?
Without waiting for the Sect Master and the others to speak, Huangfu Zhantian continued, “Sect Master, rest assured, I plan to handle this matter myself. I also know that this issue may provoke hostility between the Empire and Tianyun Sect. I understand well the principle that when two tigers fight, one is sure to be wounded. I don’t want to involve Tianyun Sect in this matter. I will deal with Feng Wuchen in my own way.”
“Your own way?” Gu Qingxuan and the others exchanged glances.
They understood Huangfu Zhantian’s temperament all too well. With such an incident occurring, Huangfu Zhantian would definitely not let it go and would certainly seek revenge against Feng Wuchen.
Gu Qingxuan frowned deeply and said, “Zhantian, we won’t stop you in what you decide to do, but we hope you will think it through carefully. Do not act rashly; you must deal with this calmly. As for this matter, we still don’t know if the Grand Commander will pursue it.”
“Sect Master, don’t worry, I know what to do,” Huangfu Zhantian said.
After Huangfu Zhantian left the grand hall, Gu Qingxuan and the others had extremely grave expressions.
“Tianyun Sect has always respected the Empire, keeping to our respective domains,” Yi Yun said with a heavy voice, a flash of ruthlessness in his aged eyes.
Gu Qingshan spoke gravely, “The fault is not with Feng Wuchen. If it were someone else, they might have already sent troops against the Huangfu family. Huangfu Qing was too impulsive, not considering the consequences.”
“I shall make a trip to the Imperial Capital myself and hope that this matter can be settled down. Only blame that Master Feng is no ordinary person. His divine skills of Thought-Forming Instrumentation, I fear not even the powerful Artifact Refiners of the Mainland could accomplish,” Gu Qingxuan said gravely. As the words fell, he had already vanished.
Thinking of Feng Wuchen’s terrifying identity, Gu Qingshan and the others fell into silence.
The stronger a sect’s power, the more they understood the terror of a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner, let alone Feng Wuchen being a young junior. His future accomplishments would be boundless. Being his enemy was definitely not a wise move.
“Huangfu Junior Brother.” As Huangfu Zhantian walked out from the grand hall, suddenly someone called out to him.
“Young Sect Master.” Huangfu Zhantian greeted respectfully.
A young man and about a dozen disciples approached, the white-robed male at the lead was none other than the Young Sect Master of Tianyun Sect, Guaotian, followed by the sect’s elder generation disciples.
Guaotian patted Huangfu Zhantian’s shoulder and said, “We are fellow disciples after all, I won’t say much. If there’s anywhere you need help, just ask.”
“Thank you, Young Sect Master!” Huangfu Zhantian nodded.
“Huangfu Senior Brother, we are all here for you as well!” the other disciples echoed one after another.
“I don’t want to involve Tianyun Sect in this matter! I will deal with Feng Wuchen in my own way! It will be to the death!” Huangfu Zhantian declared as he headed towards the gates of Tianyun Sect.
At the entrance to the grand hall, protector Gu Qingshan appeared in a flash, sighing lightly, “Zhantian has been consumed by hatred.”
Tianyun Sect did not wish to be enemies with the Empire, and likewise, the Empire did not wish to be at odds with Tianyun Sect or Feng Wuchen!
The Huangfu family wouldn’t let Feng Wuchen go, and Feng Wuchen would not show mercy to the Huangfu family. The hatred would only grow more immense!
…
After the news reached the Empire, it shook the entire royal family. The State Preceptor and Prince Lei Ting were furious, issuing an immediate order that if the Huangfu family dared to offend again, they would be eradicated!
The wrath of a Fifth Grade Alchemist and a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner was unbearable for anyone; not to mention they were the State Preceptor and Prince of the Empire. With their status and extensive network of connections, no one dared to cross them.
The Huangfu family had been disrespectful to those above them, even the Emperor was quite incensed, scaring the various officials into trembling with fear. The Huangfu family was practically scorning the authority of the Empire!
Yet the Emperor had not issued any orders to destroy the Huangfu family.
The relationship between the Huangfu family and Tianyun Sect was clear to the Emperor, and it was likely out of respect for Tianyun Sect that the Huangfu family was spared for the day.
The command issued by the State Preceptor sent shockwaves throughout Tianzhou, showing how much the Empire valued Feng Wuchen.
The Feng family was thoroughly relieved, at least for now, the Huangfu family wouldn’t make a move against them, thanks to the State Preceptor’s order.
Time flew by, and seven days later, Feng Wuchen emerged from cultivation. Today, he planned to attend the newcomer competition at the academy!
Having already promised Xing Tianfeng, Feng Wuchen naturally couldn’t go back on his word. Besides, Feng Wuchen was considered half a student of the academy.
Ling Xiaoxiao, Liu Qingyang, and Miao Qingqing went together.
The students of Tianyan Academy were all eagerly anticipating the strength of the honorary student!
The academy had kept the news under wraps, so the students were unaware of Feng Wuchen’s identity. They only knew that Feng Wuchen was the weakling who had awakened a Second Grade Martial Soul in Unmatched City.
Only the imperial princes were aware of Feng Wuchen’s true identity!
The talented students of Tianyan Academy were all formidable, and Feng Wuchen was looking forward to clashing with these prodigies, including the empire’s foremost genius prince!
Based on what Feng Wuchen knew, the empire’s top prince had already reached the Second Layer of the Yuandan Realm.
