I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 791

“Oh my, this is wonderful! He will be known as the King of the North Realm among the entire cultivation world!” whispered Elder Xiao and the rest, their excitement unmatched.

However, Chen Hao was calm and collected in response to this piece of news.

He had long looked past superficial things such as honorary titles.

“Ahem, there is something else. Before I take my leave, the Palace Lord has entrusted yet another matter to me, but I do not know whether to speak of it!” said the Daoist leader. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“You can just tell me!”

Chen Hao nodded.

“According to my sources, the King of Southern Asia—Chen Diancang—is related to you, Master Chen Hao. Based on the rules from the People’s Palace, cultivators should not partake in any worldly activities, for they are two sides of the same coin. However, the grievances between both of you run deep. What’s more, Sir, you’ve also killed the Young Master from the Tuoba Family… Hehe, the Palace Lord is not trying to imply anything strange by this; we just hope that both Masters could sit down and have a calm discussion for the sake of the world’s stability!” suggested the Daoist leader.

“You’ve got it wrong, leader. I am not the one who is relentlessly entangled in this matter; as a matter of fact, there is someone who is chasing me persistently. Since you have brought this up, you have my word that I will personally meet Chen Diancang to discuss the matter when I have the chance. However, there is one condition—he has to release all of my family members first!” said Chen Hao vaguely.

After all, even the dumbest person would be able to understand the situation.

Chen Diancang had been scheming for generations just to get rid of Chen Hao.

He would certainly not give up so easily just because the People’s Palace had advised him to do so.

Furthermore, Chen Diancang should pay the price for all the times that he had brought harm to Chen Hao himself.

Not to mention that Chen Hao had already discerned the hidden meanings behind the words of the People’s Palace regarding this matter.

It was not to involve the innocent, and also not to meddle in worldly affairs.

It was certainly not difficult to do these things.

“How nice! This way, I can return home to make my report! Until next time, Lord Chen!”

“Hey, this is really great! King of the North Realm sounds so fancy!”

After the Daoist leader left, the excitement from everyone present was immeasurable.

A lot of discussion ensued, but Chen Hao did not manage to calm his restless heart.

There were many things waiting for him in the future that needed to be done.

Right now, his only hope was for his family to be safe and sound.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that very moment, a violent tremble suddenly shook the steamship.

The waves of the sea churned even more aggressively.

“Hmm?”

Chen Hao frowned.

He cast a spell and the waves of the sea returned to its former calmness.

At the same time, this sudden powerful wave of energy caught Chen Hao’s attention.

He immediately opened his Divine Eye, and scanned through the area immediately.

A short while later, Chen Hao retrieved his Divine Eye.

“You guys should remain calm! I’ll go have a look and return soon!”

Chen Hao spoke with a tone of indifference. His voice still hung in the air, but his person had already vanished from the scene.

There were many large mountains surrounding the area of South Yue.

There was a mountain named Mt. Hope’s Peak. It was named as such due to its summit that reached far above the clouds.

It seemed as though it was the place where the heavens and the earth met.

One could see the skies, the mountains, and the land from up there—hence the name Hope’s Peak.

Right now, the clouds and mists drifted near the summit of the mountain.

On the peak of the mountain was a pavilion. Standing in the middle of it was an old man dressed in a black robe, his hands placed behind his back as he gazed at the endless mountains and rivers before him.

There weren’t many traces of people here as it was too high up above.

Chen Hao walked over leisurely.

“Just a few months ago, I felt incredibly sad because I thought you had passed away. Back then, you were still the grandfather I had always respected. I was proud to have such a wonderful grandfather like you, and you were the one who let me experience the warmth of a family!”

Chen Hao looked at the back of the old man with a bitter smile on his face as he spoke.

“Hehe, Hao, it seems that your strength was not the only thing that had increased valiantly in such a short time period, but your temperament has also undergone much change. I was just thinking about how you would react when you saw me, such as the expression on your face and the reaction you would have. Either way, I’m sure they would’ve been just as interesting. Just like what you mentioned earlier, there have been many twists and turns that have taken place in the last few months!” said Chen Diancang as he turned around slowly.

Their eyes met, and both of them were strangely calm.

“Like what you’ve said, I am not the same person that I was in the past!”

Chen Hao calmly replied, “I believe that both of us are aware of the reason for meeting today, so why don’t we get straight to the point? Release my family members, for they have absolutely nothing to do with the grievances between us!”

“Release them? Hehe, I will certainly release Jindong and the rest, even your beloved Su Tongxin!” said Chen Diancang.

“Hmm? You have captured Tongxin as well?” asked Chen Hao, who felt a little horrified.

“Yes, Tongxin was captured by several officials from the League of the Sun, but she did not die. This time, she made her way down to Earth as a representative of the Border Realm. I know that you have always wanted your family to be reunited, so I brought her here to stay together with Jindong and the rest!” said Chen Diancang.

“You’re a despicable man!”

Chen Hao was furious.

Right now, his hands grasped his sword tightly.

In the blink of an eye, a violent flash of light shot toward Chen Diancang.

He had intended to provoke Chen Hao today.

However, Chen Diancang’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch when he saw the full extent of Chen Hao’s powers.

He truly was the King of Kings! This blow was very strong and impactful!

Chen Diancang spread both of his palms apart.

“Protection of Mara!”

In an instant, a black glow coagulated and formed a transparent dome that wrapped itself around Chen Diancang.

Bang!

The golden and black lights collided against each other with great force.

The lights shone brilliantly for a short while.

With a burst of air, it swept away all life from the grassy trees on the peak of the mountain, and the plants withered instantly.

Boom!

The pavilion where Chen Diancang had been standing shattered, its bits and pieces flying in every direction.

For a while, dust clouded the air and debris filled the skies.

In the beginning, Chen Diancang easily withstood Chen Hao’s blade of light.

After all, he was also a Third Tier Cultivator.

But what happened next was something that he had never expected.

The strange swordsmanship of Chen Hao’s evolved suddenly.

It seemed as though countless forces supported and pushed the golden light forward.

As the sword grew larger and larger, it was clear to see that it was also progressively getting stronger.

Crunch!

Just as delicate as glass, Chen Diancang’s Protection of Mara instantly shattered into pieces.

That wasn’t good!

At that moment, Chen Diancang immediately withdrew himself and dodged the blow.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ground split open, and the gleam from the sword rushed toward the cliff on the opposite side, leaving behind a pit which was three to four meters deep!

Chen Diancang took a few steps back in succession. He had only managed to stabilize himself when his heels reached the end of the cliff.

“What?”

Chen Diancang had his eyes wide open as he gasped for a breath of air.

“What sort of swordsmanship is this? Where have you learned all of these?” asked Chen Diancang.

“I learned it in the Celestial Techniques. There was a set of swordsmanship methods called the Nine Heavenly Swords! It was specifically made to defeat the likes of you who turn to the dark arts!” said Chen Hao coldly.

“You’ve actually turned out to be such a smart child. It seems like you have already acquired all there is to be inherited from the Celestial War God. But Chen Hao, don’t ever forget that we are both Third Tier Cultivators, the highest existence in the whole world. Therefore, don’t assume that I will be easily defeated by the likes of you just because you have obtained a strong and powerful technique!”

“I have been working hard all this while. Why don’t we come to an agreement? Let’s meet at the Dragon Pagoda in South Yue to engage in a decisive battle at noon tomorrow. I will also bring your family, so let us determine the outcome of who gets to live and die!” Chen Diancang said coldly with his hands held behind his back.

Even though his face was expressionless, both of his purlicues—the flesh between his thumb and forefinger—had been badly ripped apart, and it was a bloody mess of flesh and blood. The veins on his arms bulged and trembled violently…
