Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 52: Chapter 052 Trade

The appearance of the Black Flag Army, with its iron-blooded and cold aura, made people’s hearts tremble and their courage falter.

Leng Mucheng was still in shock at the moment and seemed not to have heard the leader’s command.

Not just Leng Mucheng, but his father as well as people from various families had not noticed the Black Flag Army’s arrival; their astonished gazes were fixed on the direction Feng Wuchen had left.

Various complex emotions emerged on their faces.

The major families were filled with immense regret and were extremely envious of the Liu family; if they had stood up to help Feng Wuchen at the critical moment, their families’ strength would have certainly increased in the future.

Leng Zhengnan felt even worse in his heart; as a City Lord, he had already left a bad impression on Feng Wuchen, and it was mostly hopeless to ask for Feng Wuchen’s help with Artifact Refining in the future.

...

At this moment, many people’s gazes began to shift toward the Ge family.

There were no shortage of those in the Empire who would use unscrupulous means to deal with the Ge family for the sake of profit.

…

Outside the city, Feng Wuchen walked while contemplating something, not speaking.

Bai Ming was constantly observing Feng Wuchen, thinking to himself, “In just two months, he has already stepped into the Transformative Realm. Master Feng’s talent is truly terrifying, it’s shockingly talk of the town.”

Not only did Feng Wuchen possess a frightening speed in cultivation, but he was also a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner and an Alchemist. Bai Ming had never seen such an abnormal prodigy, and neither had the Empire.

“Master Feng, the Great General has never personally visited the Xuantian Sect, which shows how much the Great General values you. I also didn’t expect you to agree so readily; the Great General was even afraid you would refuse,” Bai Ming said with a respectful smile.

The Empire’s Great General seeking him out didn’t surprise Feng Wuchen at all; he was just surprised that the news had reached the imperial family so quickly.

“The Empire’s Great General Ye Cangqiong, the Empire’s number one General, and the Family Head of the Ye family, such an important figure—if I were to refuse, wouldn’t I be disregarding the Great General too much?” Feng Wuchen said with a light smile.

To put it bluntly, if Feng Wuchen were to refuse, once the news spread, not to mention Feng Wuchen and the Feng family would be cursed by the citizens of the Empire, it would be difficult for the Feng family to maintain a foothold in the Empire.

Unless you possess a horrifying strength that surpasses the Empire!

Of course, Feng Wuchen had not thought about refusing.

The two hurried to the Xuantian Sect, and in one day’s time, they had already arrived.

When it was known that Bai Ming had brought back Master Feng, many disciples of the Xuantian Sect sighed in relief, having been exhausted from searching for half a month.

Ye Cangqiong and Mu Tianyun, among others, came out of the great hall one after another.

Being favored by the Great General, meant Feng Wuchen’s status had risen once more.

“I pay my respects to the Great General, Elder Sect Master Mu, Sect Master Mu.” Just as he reached the plaza, amidst the admiring gazes of numerous disciples, Feng Wuchen saw Ye Cangqiong and the others and courteously paid his respects.

“Master Feng, no need for such formalities,” Ye Cangqiong said with a pleased smile, his gaze appraising Feng Wuchen.

“Indeed, a hero emerges in youth. You have entered the Transformative Realm at such a young age. What kind of master can cultivate such an unparalleled genius?” Ye Cangqiong marveled in his heart, very satisfied at first sight of Feng Wuchen.

“Please, Master Feng,” Mu Yunshan said with a courteous smile.

The Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect, the former Sect Master, and Ye Cangqiong personally welcoming him in the great hall demonstrated the respect they had for Feng Wuchen.

Don’t assume Feng Wuchen is just a teenager of sixteen or seventeen; but in front of formidable strength, even Ye Cangqiong and the others had to bow their heads.

In a world where strength is revered, the capable occupy the highest positions.

The identity of a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner, not to mention in the Empire, even on the Mainland, is already an extraordinary existence.

Even if Ye Cangqiong is the Empire’s number one General, he wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of Feng Wuchen. Even if the Great Emperor himself were to come, he would have to give Feng Wuchen respect.

Such a terrifyingly abnormal genius, the Empire would not dare to provoke; who knows what kind of horrifying powerhouses stand behind Feng Wuchen?

“Master Feng’s Divine Skill of Thought-Forming Instrumentation has amazed Yunzhou and startled the Empire; your ability commands respect. I believe Bai Ming has already informed you of my purpose for coming here, and I also hope Master Feng can help enhance the Empire’s strength,” Ye Cangqiong said straightforwardly, his tone polite and without any airs of a Great General.

Mu Tianyun and Mu Yunshan, among others, had their eyes fixed on Feng Wuchen, anxiously waiting for him to speak.

The hall fell quiet for a moment.

“Great General, I can agree to your request, but I have a condition,” Feng Wuchen said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cangqiong immediately relaxed and joyfully said, “Please feel free to speak, Master Feng.”

Feng Wuchen said calmly, “I can help the Empire with Artifact Refining, but for a period of one month only, meaning I can serve the Empire for only one month.”

“One month?” Ye Cangqiong couldn’t help frowning, as if he felt one month was too little.

After all, with a prodigy as frightening as Feng Wuchen, Ye Cangqiong initially wanted to pull him to their side; with such a terrifying talent, how could the Empire not be strengthened?

“Ye Cangqiong, I cannot spend a lifetime Artifact Refining for the Empire. I have my own affairs. Of course, if the Empire needs me, I will give my utmost effort,” Feng Wuchen said with neither servility nor overbearingness, seemingly indifferent whether Ye Cangqiong agreed or not.

“This youngster’s ambition is not small, his heart might not lie with the Empire, but rather the Mainland,” Mu Tianyun thought to himself. Such terrifying talent, and a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner to boot, a mere Empire could hardly contain Feng Wuchen.

“I’m afraid the Great General is going to be disappointed,” Mu Yunshan shook his head secretly, knowing full well what Ye Cangqiong was thinking. He simply wanted to pull Feng Wuchen into serving the Empire.

The status of a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner was incomparably esteemed, let alone a small Empire, even the major forces of the Mainland were competing for such individuals.

Not to mention that he is an Artifact Refiner capable of Thought-Forming Instrumentation.

“Good! One month is one month!” Ye Cangqiong finally spoke after considering for a long while. After all, Feng Wuchen had said that he would do his utmost as long as the Empire needed him.

“Master Feng, may I know what your conditions are?” Ye Cangqiong asked again.

Feng Wuchen replied with a faint smile, “I want to select ten people from the Sky Shadow Cavalry and the Black Flag Army to be my subordinates, and they will only follow my orders and leave with me in the future. Of course, I will not take away the talents that the General is fond of. Moreover, I have a way to make the General’s Sky Shadow Cavalry and Black Flag Army even stronger, let’s consider it a trade.”

“Oh?” Ye Cangqiong was visibly startled and asked with great joy, “Is this true, Master Feng?”

“No falsehoods. They will become stronger in a month,” Feng Wuchen replied with absolute certainty.

“Good!” Ye Cangqiong agreed promptly, his heart leaping with extreme delight.

Mu Tianyun, Mu Yunshan, and the elders were all very curious, but at that moment, it did not seem appropriate to inquire.

“Great General, I don’t have the materials for Artifact Refining; you need to prepare them yourself. I’m a poor man,” Feng Wuchen spread his hands and added.

Ye Cangqiong replied with a joyful smile, “There’s no need for Master Feng to worry about the materials for Artifact Refining. We will bother Master Feng with that when the time comes.”

Feng Wuchen’s gaze turned towards Mu Tianyun, saying, “Sect Master Mu, to express gratitude for Bai Ming saving my life, I have decided to craft ten superior treasures and one Spiritual Artifact for Xuantian Sect. If it weren’t for Bai Ming’s timely arrival, you might not have seen me again.”

“Thank you, Master Feng!” Mu Tianyun was overjoyed, thanking him profusely.

“Bai Ming, what happened?” Mu Yunshan quickly asked.

“Who would be so bold as to attempt to assassinate Master Feng!” Ye Cangqiong frowned and said, a hint of terrifying murderous intent flashing undetectably in his eyes.

Before Bai Ming could explain, Feng Wuchen spoke up, “It’s just a minor matter, no need to concern yourselves.”

Despite his words, Mu Yunshan still gave Bai Ming a chilling look; Bai Ming nodded imperceptibly. He understood what Mu Yunshan meant.

Xuantian Sect is the strongest existence in Yunzhou; Feng Wuchen nearly lost his life there. Mu Yunshan would not allow such an incident to happen again.

The existence of Feng Wuchen was of immense benefit to Xuantian Sect.

After a short exchange, Ye Cangqiong left with his subordinates. Feng Wuchen also agreed to go to the Empire in ten days.

As Ye Cangqiong returned to the Empire, Bai Ming also exited the grand hall, while Feng Wuchen stayed at Xuantian Sect.

Since he had agreed to help Xuantian Sect with Artifact Refining, Feng Wuchen would naturally keep his word. Xuantian Sect surely wouldn’t lack Artifact Refining materials—even meteoric iron they could provide.

The next day, shocking news spread suddenly in Luan Tian City, causing widespread panic.

The Ge family was annihilated overnight; from the highest to the lowest, not a single person survived. The entire Ge family was enveloped in a nauseating stench of blood.

After the news spread, everyone in Luan Tian City guessed the reason because the Ge family had offended Master Feng. This was the consequence!

Scared by the severe repercussions, the major families in Luan Tian City were incredibly frightened, secretly relieved they had not offended Master Feng. They also hurriedly brought gifts to visit the Liu family, seeking to establish a good relationship.

Leng Zhengnan, the City Lord of Luan Tian City, was so frightened his legs went weak. For the first time, he felt the reaper’s scythe pass by him. Fortunately, at that time, he hadn’t taken matters further; otherwise, the entire City Lord’s domain might have ended up just like the Ge family.

This was the terrifying aspect of a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner. Once you offend one, a calamity would befall you, something no one can withstand.

Nobody knew who was responsible, but whoever could massacre the entire Ge family in one night was undoubtedly a formidable and fearsome being.

The figure who exterminated the Ge family was a powerful individual from Xuantian Sect—Bai Ming led many in the Yuandan Realm from Xuantian Sect and slaughtered the entire Ge family overnight.

All of this was unknown to Feng Wuchen.

After staying at Xuantian Sect for two days, Feng Wuchen also left.

Having witnessed Feng Wuchen’s miraculous Artifact Refining abilities, Mu Tianyun and the others finally understood what Thought-Forming Instrumentation was, and they were shaken to their core. Their respect and awe for Feng Wuchen grew stronger, some even feeling an impulse to worship.

Thought-Forming Instrumentation, to them, seemed like something only deities were capable of.

If only Mu Tianyun and the others could see Feng Wuchen practicing Alchemy, the One-Thought Pill Concoction might have made Mu Tianyun kneel down and beg to be his disciple on the spot.

“Before going to the Empire, I need to eradicate the Zhou family. The Zhou family is not weak; it won’t be easy to extinguish them. I must prepare,” Feng Wuchen muttered to himself with a cold laugh.

The Zhou family had once sent men to deal with Feng Wuchen, and that was something he had not forgotten.

Leaving Xuantian Sect, Feng Wuchen once again came to Tiandu.
