Chapter 941: Chapter 476: Rising to Fame (Part 3)

The light of the Interstellar Teleportation Formation shone brightly as a figure slowly walked out of the glow.

“Home at last…”

Nie Chuxuan glanced at the expansive Xiafei Sect and unhurriedly headed towards the mansion of the Nie Family.

As soon as he arrived, a maid approached to report: “Young Master, the Great Elder requests your presence.”

Nie Chuxuan was the direct bloodline of Nie Jianglong, the Great Elder of Xiafei Sect.

And Nie Jianglong was an influential figure of Xiafei Sect, having served as Sect Master for three thousand years.

The Xiafei Sect had always been loyal to the White Light Immortal Palace and was the leader among the four major sects. Thus, the White Light Palace Master took Nie Jianglong’s most outstanding offspring, Nie Chuxuan, as his fifth adopted son for cultivation, intending to nurture Nie Chuxuan as the next Sect Master.

However, man proposes, God disposes.

For nearly a millennium, the Xiafei Sect faced unfavorable development and gradually declined, while the Eight-direction Pavilion rose against the odds.

Gradually, the Xiafei Sect faced the prospect of being overtaken by the Eight-direction Pavilion.

This led to increasing conflicts between the Xiafei Sect and the Eight-direction Pavilion.

The Xiafei Sect lost more often than it won, repeatedly failing in battles, causing dissatisfaction among many disciples who began to impeach.

As a result, Nie Jianglong was forced to resign from the position of Sect Master, replaced by the newly appointed sect leader “Zou Zaiqing.”

Although the Nie Family’s power was no longer the same after this upheaval, Nie Chuxuan was hardly affected.

With the “White Light Palace Master’s fifth adopted son” as his immunity card, no one dared to touch him.

Nie Chuxuan walked into an elegant pavilion, and upon looking up, he saw an elder in a simple gray robe trimming bonsai, with an aura of tranquility and detachment from worldly affairs.

This person was precisely Nie Jianglong, once the second-in-command of the White Light Star Ring, one rank below the top.

Nie Chuxuan was about to step forward to salute when he suddenly noticed that there was another person sitting by the teatable not far away.

A young man with delicate eyebrows, clad in blood-red clothes, with fair skin and a slender build, emanating no detectable aura.

If Nie Chuxuan hadn’t approached, he wouldn’t have detected the presence of the delicate-browed youth at all.

Nie Chuxuan felt a slight chill in his heart and couldn’t help but take a deep look at the delicate-browed youth.

“Chuxuan, you’ve returned?” Nie Jianglong turned and greeted him.

Nie Chuxuan promptly replied, “Ancestor, I just returned from the Immortal Palace. Is there something important you wish to discuss?”

Nie Jianglong countered, “I heard that your adoptive father swore brotherhood with someone. Have you met them? What kind of person are they?”

Nie Chuxuan replied with admiration, “That uncle is named Fang Zhixing, astonishingly talented and unfathomable.”

Nie Jianglong raised an eyebrow in surprise and doubt, asking, “What’s this person’s background? Are they truly a loose cultivator?”

Nie Chuxuan responded, “My adoptive father personally verified it; indeed, he’s unquestionably a loose cultivator.”

Nie Jianglong further inquired, “Did he cultivate the ‘Blood Heavenly Demon Technique’?”

Nie Chuxuan replied, “Yes, I saw with my own eyes how uncle executed the ‘Blood Heavenly Demon Slash,’ and its power was astounding. He defeated Ancestor Sikou with a single strike.”

Nie Jianglong continued to ask, “Does Fang Zhixing have a special physical body?”

Nie Chuxuan answered, “Six-star physical body, extremely rare. I learned this secret at the victory banquet, directly from my adoptive father’s lips, it’s definitely true.”

“What, truly six stars?!”

Nie Jianglong gasped, clicking his tongue in amazement, and marveled, “Your adoptive father had intended to promote you, paving the way for your rise, and Ancestor Sikou was also meant to be your whetstone, but with this Fang Zhixing’s appearance…”

Nie Chuxuan’s expression slightly changed, and he bowed his head, “I’ve let you down, but uncle is truly exceptional, with unparalleled talent, one in ten thousand. I am in full admiration and acceptance.”

Nie Jianglong waved his hand and then turned to the delicate-browed youth, introducing, “Come, meet each other.”

The delicate-browed youth cupped his hands and smiled faintly, “I am Blood Gentleman, from the Blood Origin Star Ring.”

Nie Chuxuan’s face changed dramatically.

In recent years, Blood Gentleman had been active throughout the White Light Star Ring, challenging various experts with remarkable achievements, his fame rising rapidly, already catching the attention of the White Light Palace Master.

“So it’s you, the renowned Blood Gentleman, a pleasure to finally meet.”

Nie Chuxuan slightly frowned, confused about how his ancestor was associating with Blood Gentleman.

Blood Gentleman laughed, “Not long ago, someone from the Tang Family Immortal Clan named Tang Zuolin died in Rasham Star Sea.

After investigation, it appears that it might have been done by someone from my Blood Origin Sect.

Within the White Light Star Ring, only I, Blood Gentleman, and some of my disciples are active.

The Tang Family didn’t dare to investigate me openly, so they contacted Zou Zaiqing, hoping he could uphold justice for the Tang Family.

But Zou Zaiqing was unwilling to assist and refused the Tang Family, so they sought out your ancestor instead.”

Nie Jianglong chuckled, “I happen to be an old acquaintance of Blood Gentleman, so I helped inquire a bit.

Blood Gentleman was very courteous, and had each disciple asked if they were the culprit, but unexpectedly…”

Blood Gentleman’s face turned grim, and he said coldly, “I have three disciples missing: Han Yeshang, Sheng Jinrong, and Xie Lingli, neither alive nor dead.”

Nie Chuxuan exclaimed, “Is someone targeting you?”

Blood Gentleman took a deep breath and said, “That’s what I initially thought and personally went to Tiger Spirit Star where Sheng Jinrong was located. Guess what I discovered? The entire Tiger Spirit Star was contaminated by blood, reduced to a forbidden zone.”

“Blood contamination…” Nie Chuxuan blinked, seemingly pondering.

Blood Gentleman continued, “The degree of blood contamination was extremely serious. Based on my calculations, the person responsible for the blood contamination likely had a physical body with at least five stars.

Later, I went to Black Eagle Star where Xie Lingli was and discovered that the entire Black Eagle Star had suffered the same blood contamination.”

Nie Jianglong nodded, “From this, it’s basically certain that the murderer of Blood Gentleman’s three disciples is the same individual, who also cultivates Bloodline Techniques and possesses a high-level special physical body…”

Nie Chuxuan couldn’t help but hold his breath, his eyes narrowed as he asked, “Are you suggesting the murderer is my uncle?”
