Chapter 123: Heavenly Sword Young Master
Chu Tian looked like a worn-out traveller as he entered into the city. Central State City was several times larger compared to South Sky City. Each street was made up of a small and large road, one was for beast carriages and the other was for people to walk on. There were beast carriages passing through the street and there wasn't really that many people out.
"Central State City is truly outstanding!"
Chu Tian looked all around himself. On the streets of Central State City there were many shop and martial art schools. The streets were filled with cultivators, each one wearing particular clothing.
Every person was from a different family, so the colour of their clothing, their family crests, and banners were all very clear and eye catching. It was very easy to distinguish which family or large power each person came from.
Chu Tian was dressed like a rogue cultivator and these people were usually ignored by everyone.
If he didn't represent a power, then that meant he was not useful.
What prospects could a rogue cultivator have?
Chu Tian did not care about the glances he got from the people around him, he just continued to aimlessly walk down the streets, appreciating the beauty of Central State City.
Central State City had a school known all across the state, "Central State Academy". There were over ten thousand students and it could be called a middle sized school. Because of this, Central State City did not just seem like a commercial area and contained a strong academic atmosphere. Wherever one went, there would be schools or museums.
Thinking of Central State Academy.
Chu Tian thought of Nangong Yun.
She had been here for quite a while, she should have embedded herself into the city quite well!
It wasn't as if Chu Tian had not thought about going to Central State Academy to find Nangong Yun, only, the Central State Academy's campus was just too big, Chu Tian did not know where to look. If he openly asked questions, there was a chance that he might expose his identity.
So he might as well wait first!
It wasn't as if he was in a hurry!
While Chu Tian was walking on the street, there were a few roars that rang out behind him. There were eight soldiers riding eight giant tigers that were violently walking forward. They were pushing aside other beast carriages and using their whips to chase away lower class citizens as they cleared the area.
"Move out of the way!"
"Everyone move out of the way!"
"The Heavenly Sword Young Master's carriage is coming, everyone else move out of the way!"
The crude way the soldiers acted made everyone unsatisfied, but once they heard that it was the Heavenly Sword Young Master, they all quickly moved out of the way. No one dared to complain at all.
Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and thought out loud, "Heavenly Sword Young Master? It's that Chu Xinghe! This fellow is truly too overbearing!"
The little fox also nodded, actually agreeing with its master for once.
"What does a brat like you understand!"
"What kind of person is the Heavenly Sword Young Master?"
"He's the number one talent in all of Central State!"
"He is the pride and honour of our Central State City! Don't speak any nonsense or else you might not even get to keep your little life!"
Several pedestrians all had ugly faces as they reproved Chu Tian, it was as if insulting the Heavenly Sword Young Master was like insulting Central State City. This made Chu Tian very uncomfortable. What does Chu Xinghe count for, how could he represent the entire city?
Right at this moment.
"Jia! Jia! Jia!"
Three rows of silver robed Chu Family swordsman came forward, each one of them was wearing the same uniform. They were all riding the same jade green dragon scaled horse. This was a very strong battle horse, with a height of two meters and a strong rock hard body, they could travel ten thousand li in a single day. Moreover, each one had a cultivation at the 9th Body Refinement Layer.
Three rows of soldiers, each platoon had eight people, in total there were twenty four of them.
Each one had an incredibly strong aura.
A person in the crowd cried out in shock, "Twenty four Heavenly Sword Guards! Each one of them has a cultivation at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer and they all practice the ancient sword art given to them by the Heavenly Sword Young Master. They follow the Heavenly Sword Young Master around all year and sweep away all obstacles around him. They are the most loyal guards of the Heavenly Sword Young Master and the strongest guards of the Chu Family!"
"Is this the power and influence of the Heavenly Sword Young Master?"
"He truly deserves the title of Heavenly Sword Young Master!"
Several rogue cultivators were shocked by this. Every one of the guards was at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer and there were twenty four of them. Each one of them had a strong aura making it clear that they practiced a special cultivation technique which meant that they were much stronger compared to normal 2nd Layer Awakened Soul Cultivators.
The Heavenly Sword Young Master was truly terrifying!
Behind the twenty four Heavenly Sword Guards, there was another row of magnificent honour guards. They rode atop magnificent white jade horses that were a full three feet taller than normal horses. There was a soldier holding a golden axe that was sitting atop a giant white jade horse. They were all surrounding a beast carriage, slowly walking forward.
What kind of beast carriage is that?
It was completely golden and emitted a bright glow. The moment it appeared, the crowd felt a strong tremor inside their brains. It was as if they were watching an ancient god slowly appearing from the horizon. That dignified and overbearing aura was like a king surveying over his kingdom. That endless pressure was like a giant wave that made everyone here feel tiny.
"Ao! Ao!"
The golden beast carriage was being drawn by two giant beings. They had the legs of tigers, but the body of a flood dragon. It was majestic and dignified with an overwhelming aura that made it hard for people to look at.
Tiger Dragon!
It was an extinct ancient Tiger Dragon!
The rogue cultivators that saw the insignia of the Heavenly Sword Young Master were all excited as the quickly bowed their heads in obeisance. The Tiger Dragon was a kind of extinct ancient species that had dragon blood flowing in their veins, giving it a terrifying strength. Just these two Tiger Dragon's pulling the cart were already in the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer and they still had a lot of room to grow.
The moment the Tiger Dragon Golden Carriage appeared, the air seemed to condense. Everyone felt a kind of pain in their bodies, as if a giant mountain was pressing down on their shoulders.
"We greet the Heavenly Sword Young Master!"
"We greet the Heavenly Sword Young Master!"
Under this heave pressure, the crowd could not help kneeling down. This scene was just like a king walking down the streets.
Chu Tian could feel the aura coming from this Tiger Dragon Gold Carriage and his brows knit together. Whether it was the aura coming from the golden carriage or these two Tiger Dragons, they were not things that should exist in Central State.
There was only one possibility!
Chu Xinghe should have obtained an ancient inheritance and these things should have come from that inheritance.......Chu Tian never thought that he would have this kind of destiny. This person would be hard to deal with.
There were two guards standing beside the Tiger Dragon Golden Carriage, one was a scholarly man and the other was an one eyed bulky man. That scholarly man was the Life Snatching Scholar, Chu Tongwen that Chu Tian had defeated.
Everyone in the crowd knelt down in front of the Heavenly Sword Young Master's aura.
Chu Tian was the only person left standing which made him very conspicuous. Chu Tongwen's eyes looked over and the minute he saw him, his face fell, "It's him!"
Wasn't this that Lu Ren he met before?
Only how did he become younger after just a few days!
A cold and proud voice came from inside the golden carriage, "This brat can actually block my pressure and not kneel down, he seems to be someone with a bit of skills. Sir Tongwen, do you know him?"
Chu Tongwen hesitated for a few seconds and then he hid the truth because of his reputation, "He's offended me before, so there is no friendship between us."
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" The one eyed large man suddenly began to laugh, "Since he's offended old brother Tongwen, how could we let him remain living in Central State City? Let I, Chu Batian take his little life for old brother Tongwen!"
Chu Tongwen's expression changed, but even if he wanted to stop him, it was already too late.
The one eyed large man suddenly stepped off and disappeared from the golden carriage. He appeared right in front of Chu Tian and a large rune appeared on his right fist. He wildly laughed and said, "Little brat, your luck is not very good. Die for me!"
Without any reason.
Without any fear.
Only because he saw that Chu Tian didn't bow down to the Heavenly Sword Young Master's carriage, the one eyed large man decided to make a move and take Chu Tian's life.
This fist was like a giant mountain pressing down.
The one eyed large man did not care if the innocent people on the side lived or died.
Chu Tian's expression slightly changed. The one eyed large man's cultivation was in the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer, so it wasn't easy for Chu Tian to deal with him. He could only activated the Starlight Immortal Body to its maximum strength and block this one attack. The terrifying power sent Chu Tian flying back several feet and the people surrounding him all suffered internal injuries and spat out blood.
Chu Tian's starlight gaze was broken and shattered on the spot.
This fellow had a very strong attack strength!
And he shouldn't have used his full power!
Chu Batian revealed a surprised expression, "A trivial 1st Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator could actually block 50% of my strength. But you won't be lucky with this next fist."
"Batian, come back!"
Chu Batian was prepared to send out another attack that would destroy the opponent with his barrier, but a voice rang out from the Tiger Dragon Gold Carriage. Chu Batian was a little stunned, but he could only turn around and go back.
The Tiger Dragon Gold Carriage slowly went forward. When it arrived in front of Chu Tian, a voice came from within, "Young man, your talent is not bad, it would be a pity for you to die here. If you pledge your loyalty to me and become a part of my retinue, I'll personally guide your cultivation."
Becoming a part of your retinue?
Personally guiding my cultivation?
Chu Tian had lived two lifetimes.
This was the first time someone had said they wanted to guide his cultivation.
Chu Tian coldly smiled and said word for word, "Father, does, not, care!"
Silence!
There was pure silence!
The faces of everyone in crowd turned pale. The Heavenly Sword Young Master Chu Xinghe was personally recruiting someone and would even personally guide his cultivation, what kind of honour was this? Chu Xinghe as the only person in Central State City with the potential of becoming a marquis in the future, countless Awakened Soul Cultivators wished to follow him.
This nameless youth, this nameless rogue cultivator had actually disdainfully rejected the Heavenly Sword Young master's invitation in front of all these people.
This was slapping the Heavenly Sword Young Master's face!
Naturally.
A terrifying aura erupted from within the Tiger Dragon Gold Carriage and completely filled the entire area. It was enough to make everyone in the area feel as if they were suffocating. The voice then contained a frighteningly cold tone, "That is clearly the most stupid choice, so why?"
Chu Tian faced this mountain like pressure yet he still stood straight, "Your excellency has no virtues, I disdain being your subordinate. My will is strong, I will not back down!"
Your excellency has no virtues, I disdain being your subordinate!
My will is strong, I will not back down!
These words were like golden bricks, heavily slamming into the ground. It firmly shattered the floor and sent out an earth shattering explosion!
The several thousand citizens and soldiers stared on in astonishment.
What kind of person would have this kind of spirit? Even when facing a person like the Heavenly Sword Young Master, this young man was still now willing to let go of his dignity?
Did he even consider the consequences of his actions!
Was his dignity more important than his life?
