Chapter 737 Shattering the Golden Lotuses (1/2)

A black-robed elder stood in the sky. He did not give off any presence or even the tiniest Genesis Qi undulations, making him appear akin to an ordinary old man who had never cultivated before.

However, countless horrified and shocked gazes were currently concentrated on his figure because everyone had personally witnessed this mysterious black-robed elder casually crush the golden bead that palace master Sheng Yuan had poured all his power into.

“Who is that?!”

“Such power is likely no weaker than patriarch Cang Xuan at his prime…”

“But I’ve never heard of such a person in Cangxuan Heaven.”

“......”

The eyes of the various experts were filled with confusion as whispers spread amongst them.

Even sect master Qing Yang, the Heavenly Sword Sovereign, the Venerable Lord Gu Jing and the other sect masters were taken by surprise, clearly unable to recognize the black-robed elder. However, it appeared that he knew Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao, given how he had come to their aid.

This observation astonished the sect masters even more. Though they could not say anything about Yaoyao, Zhou Yuan was merely a tiny Divine Dwelling stage practitioner who had barely reached the Alpha-Origin stage when he first came to the Cangxuan Sect. Did a small fry like him actually know such an existence?

Zhou Yuan was also unable to believe his eyes. Moments later, he finally managed to stutter, “Mas...master Cang Yuan?!”

Zhou Yuan had not seen Cang Yuan since they had parted many years ago, and he clearly had not expected him to appear at this most critical juncture

Cang Yuan’s gaze shifted towards Zhou Yuan as he chuckled and said, “Not bad little one. It’s only been a few years since we last met, but you’ve already stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage.

“However, now is not the time for us to reminiscence. It seems that you guys are facing quite some trouble.”

His gaze swept towards Sheng Yuan, who was similarly shocked by his appearance. He then lifted his head to cast a glance at the far away crack in the world boundary.

The chillingly sinister look on palace master Sheng Yuan’s face had already faded. He stared at Cang Yuan in bewilderment and said, “Who are you?! Why are you interfering in the affairs of our Cangxuan Heaven!”

He was certain that Cang Yuan was not from Cangxuan Heaven.

Cang Yuan looked at Sheng Yuan with indifferent eyes as he replied, “Instead of being a proper person, you just had to be a dog of the sacred race.”

Cang Yuan found the sacred palace power that currently filled Sheng Yuan’s body very loathsome.

Sheng Yuan’s face twitched as he laughed in anger. “This distinguished one is very arrogant!”

Cang Yuan looked towards Yaoyao. Her current state and the cracks on her skin made his eyes turn a little icier.

Although Yaoyao’s identity was very special, he had watched her slowly grow up. One could say that Cang Yuan already viewed Yaoyao as his own child. After being separated for so many years, even Cang Yuan could not help but feel rage boil within him when he saw her in her current state.

Cang Xuan indifferently said, “You relied on someone else’s power to raise yourself to the double lotus stage. Let alone the fact that what you have is not the true double lotus stage, even a genuine single lotus expert would not view you as much of a threat.”

Sheng Yuan frowned. He found himself unable to read Cang Yuan, and he was indeed quite fearful of him. Hence, he said, “If this distinguished one has come for the two of them, I drop what happened previously.”

Although he was extremely angered by Zhou Yuan’s act of shattering the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, Sheng Yuan understood that killing Zhou Yuan would do nothing to remedy the problem. Since that was the case, he could always take revenge after gathering the Saint Stamp shards.

When that time came, he would not only kill Zhou Yuan but also exterminate the Great Zhou Empire. He would make sure that not even a blade of grass remained!

As these thoughts swirled in his head, intense killing intent flashed in the depths of palace master Sheng Yuan’s eyes.

However, Cang Yuan merely laughed in response, “Drop what happened previously? You beat up these two kids of mine. Even if you want to let this matter rest, I insist on settling the debt with you.”

His tone was calm but gave off a sliver domineeringness that made one involuntarily tremble inside.

Sheng Yuan’s expression turned frosty. “Don’t think you can push me just because I tried to give in!”

However, Cang Yuan had no intentions of taking this exchange of words any further. He formed a seal with one hand, and everyone’s eyes nearly popped from their sockets as they watched two life-like golden lotuses slowly emerge above his head and left shoulder.

Double lotus stage!

Cang Yuan was evidently the same cultivation level as patriarch Cang Xuan at his peak!
