Chapter 500: Sword Daoist, Damaged Emperor Weapon, The Nine Heavens Orthodoxies’ Strategy
"Brother, feel free to state your requests. The Wu clan will make sure to contribute everything we can within our capacity."
The Wu Clan Leader was quick to agree.
He knew that Chu Kuangren’s power was far more terrifying than the other clans.
The Wu clan was probably an insignificant orthodoxy in Chu Kuangren’s perspective. If he wanted to, he could obliterate them at any moment.
The power difference was so big that the Wu Clan Leader did not even think of resisting at all.
If that was the case, there was no harm in playing along with Chu Kuangren’s demands.
As Chu Kuangren had saved the Wu clan and his life, the Wu Clan Leader felt that this was a great opportunity to turn the situation around.
"It looks like you know how to play your cards well." Chu Kuangren nodded, content with the clan leader’s attitude.
"First, I’ve got a few questions to ask. Is this the Emperor Road?"
The Wu Clan Leader was confused. He did not expect Chu Kuangren to pose such a question. However, the Wu Clan Leader was quick to recall an important fact and hastily answered, "Yes."
"Are you born and raised in the Emperor Road, or did you come from somewhere else?"
"We were born in the Emperor Road and are considered a local institution. However, there are also many powerful entities in the Emperor Road who came from the outside world."
The Wu Clan Leader could gauge Chu Kuangren’s origin and did not intend to conceal any matter.
"Very well. Lastly, I require some information about the Emperor Road, including information about the region’s power dynamics, sky-prides, and matters relating to the Emperor’s Throne."
"Understood."
The Wu Clan Leader nodded and arranged a guest room for Chu Kuangren. He had never once mentioned the Divine Emerald Lamp throughout their conversation.
In the Wu clan’s grand hall, several elders were congregating.
"Clan Leader, what should we do next?"
"Let’s just stick to his demands and see what pans out."
"What about the Divine Emerald Lamp then?"
"If he’s unwilling to return it, do you think we stand a chance in getting it back?" The Wu Clan Leader rolled his eyes and said.
Then, his eyes glimmered with a sense of excitement. "I believe you’ve heard that the Emperor Mountain has undergone a strange transformation. The Emperors’ Thrones are reappearing. This means that the Emperor Road is now connected to the outside world. This person is likely a sky-pride from the outside world, who’s participating in the fight for the Emperor’s Throne. Nay, he must be!"
"Besides, you’ve also witnessed his capability, how he defeated the Sage Rulers with ease. Not even the outlawed sky-prides of the Emperor Road are capable of it. How strong must his orthodoxy be for it to birth such a formidable cultivator? It must be many times stronger than the Wu clan."
"The Wu clan has been suffering from a severe lack of talent these years. We’re unfated to ascend into the Emperor Throne. We can only benefit from making his acquaintance. If this person manages to ascend into the throne, it’ll mean that we’ve made the acquaintance of an Emperor. This alone will ensure that the Wu clan will prosper."
The council contemplated deeply at the Wu Clan Leader’s explanation.
