Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 376 - 187: Creation Scripture, Inauguration Ceremony

Chapter 376: Chapter 187: Creation Scripture, Inauguration Ceremony

It was a senior from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect in Jingzhou who intervened.

But the person who targeted the Dark Tower in Taizhou and Hai Province called himself... Light!

Xu Guang silently looked at the intelligence report sent by the Dragon Gate’s intelligence organization, his expression indifferent.

Light...

What exactly is this being? Why has it had no reputation all these years?

...

The next day.

Chuanbei Prefecture was brightly decorated, with almost every household hanging red firecrackers at their doors, just waiting for the bell on Dragon Gate Mountain to ring.

The streets were crowded with people, all here to witness the inauguration ceremony, but only a very few were qualified to enter Tiger’s Mouth Cliff.

People from Jianghu fervently discussed how grand the ceremony was, who the major figures attending might be, and what remarkable events would occur.

Under the mountain gate of Dragon Gate, people were continuously coming and going.

Xu Guang stood alone on the rooftop, his hands behind his back.

He seriously observed everything below.

You Chen was below and said, "Sect Leader, most of the people have arrived."

Seeing Xu Guang not react, You Chen continued.

"Will the Young Fate Master from Dark Tower really come?"

Xu Guang shook his head. He used the calculation method from the Three Lights and Stars Secret Technique to trace the Young Fate Master, but instead, an image of the Dragon Gate inauguration appeared in his mind.

As for whether they would really show up, he wasn’t certain, but if they dared to appear, they must have some backing, which wasn’t hard to guess.

Currently, the barbarians were pressing at the border, and the Dark Tower was originally secretly supported by them. An assassin of the Young Fate Master’s caliber being connected to the barbarians was inevitable.

Suddenly, he saw several figures.

They were representatives from Jiufeng Mountain led by Master Fuqing.

Xu Guang took a step forward and landed.

"Senior Sister."

This was the first time they had met since they parted last year.

Master Fuqing’s expression was complex. She had high hopes for Xu Guang, and he hadn’t let her down, but...

Han Sandao stepped forward, blocking in front of Master Fuqing, "Master Fuqing, please come this way, the Sect Leader has other matters."

This was something You Chen had instructed him to do, to ensure the Sect Leader had limited contact with the people of Jiufeng Mountain.

After all, Xu Guang originated from Jiufeng Mountain; what if they managed to lure him away...

Master Fuqing gave Xu Guang one last look before turning and leaving.

Subsequently, Xu Guang saw many familiar faces as well. Tie Kuang from Qingshuo County had also brought people, but he was following behind Wu Fengqin and her husband.

What surprised him was that Xu Guang personally came to greet them.

"Master, I told you, our Iron Armor Sect and Sect Leader Xu have never been enemies."

Tie Kuang had no words to retort, glancing at his once-proud student.

He was sure that Xu Guang came over only for Wu Fengqin’s sake.

Xu Guang hadn’t seen Old Li the entire time, which intrigued him, so he asked Wu Fengqin.

Wu Fengqin and her husband’s development was impressive too. Xiong Kui’s forging skills were famous throughout Southern Sichuan Prefecture and recruited by the Taiyi Alliance, now serving as an honored guest elder, and Wu Fengqin’s cultivation had also broken through to Innate.

Wu Fengqin looked puzzled, "You don’t know? After you left, your master took Old Li to Jiufeng Mountain, but I heard something happened. I’m not sure about the details; you should ask Master Fuqing later."

Xu Guang nodded, not saying much more.

Similarly, he hadn’t seen Jiang Zi Yun or Shen Muyu either.

He wasn’t worried about the two women, figuring something might have held them up, and he could ask about it later.

...

"Jiufeng Mountain congratulates Sect Leader Xu, presenting a Dragon Offering Xuan Crown."

"The Song Family from Songjiang Prefecture congratulates Sect Leader Xu, offering nine Cold Path Golden Rings."

The announcing of names continued below the mountain, as the grand ceremony held once every several decades at Dragon Gate commenced.

"These families are truly wealthy. I’ve heard the Dragon Offering Xuan Crown is a Fourth-Grade Divine Weapon, already developing some spirituality, extraordinary."

"The Cold Path Golden Rings are also excellent, the Song Family has really gone all out this time."

"Naturally, I’ve heard Sect Leader Xu lived around Songjiang Prefecture for a while before, so the relationship with the Song Family should be good."

People below were abuzz, thinking that if someone could receive today’s gifts, raising a Fifth-Grade Zhenren wouldn’t be an issue.

Only envy filled their eyes.

As the bell tolled,

the world shook.

The towering main hall of Dragon Gate was set high, its 193 white jade steps gleaming as if new, radiant with lights.

On either side of the jade steps sat over a thousand disciples with Seventh-Grade cultivation and above, their bodies faintly emitting light from Feng Shui arrays.

As murmurs filled the air,

a gigantic shadow of a True Dragon slowly manifested along with the voices, ethereal and majestic, appearing to be a fortune of heaven.

This was a ceremony during the Dragon Gate inauguration, called Dragon Fortune Inheritance.

The numerous guests stood silently at the front of the main hall, watching quietly.

Most were colleagues from Jianghu in Zouchuan Dao, with the Southern Sichuan Prefecture engaged in tense battles, three Profound Experts arrived today, which was already grand enough.

You Chen, dressed in splendid attire, stood atop the main hall before an enormous altar, as the inauguration of the Sect Leader required prayers to the ancestors.

"Please, Sect Leader, ascend!"

His words fell, and many disciples shouted in unison.

"Please, Sect Leader, ascend."

Rumble!

A thunderous roar echoed, a thunderstorm in the daylight.

Xu Guang’s figure suddenly appeared.

Surprising the several Profound Experts watching, as they found it difficult to fully discern him.

Xu Guang was adorned in a dark purple golden cloud-patterned broad-sleeve brocade robe, with silver dragon patterns on the cuffs, a dragon shadow faintly manifesting behind him.

He was just about to step forward,

when suddenly, the shadow behind him started to slowly wriggle.

From the black shadow extended the tip of a black sword.

Silently but swiftly as lightning.

Aiming at Xu Guang’s back heart.

At this critical moment, Xu Guang’s whole body shook, and his entire Qi Force became unconsciously chaotic, an infinite terrifying crisis descended, a flash of blood-red streaked across his body...

The sword blade, like a pitch-black lightning, stabbed towards Xu Guang’s back heart.

The black lightning was lightless, seemingly depriving people of all worldly senses in an instant.

This was a Divine Technique, one that deprived the senses.

The world seemed to turn pitch black.

The shadow of death swept out from the heavens and earth.

You Chen and Rong Jin were alarmed, both shouting angrily in unison.

Rong Jin suddenly struck with a palm, as a fire dragon condensed within the sky, grand and overwhelming, as if pushing mountains.

You Chen reacted quickly, already charging down the white jade steps.

In the abrupt change, his reaction couldn’t catch up at all. The person attacking used a Divine Technique, so sudden, not to mention the distance, even if standing next to Xu Guang, it would be extremely difficult to block.

In the distance, the two Fourth-Grade experts from the Jiang Family and the Profound Experts from the Taiyi Alliance squinted at the scene.

Someone was actually attempting to assassinate Xu Guang? And on such an exceptionally grand day like the Dragon Gate inauguration.

Was it because Xu Guang eradicated the Dark Tower yesterday? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The black sword swift as lightning, like a pitch-black venomous snake, already mere inches away.

Xu Guang himself seemed unresponsive, with the blood light around him growing denser, as if blood was really seeping out.

This was a Curse Technique, something the barbarians were most skilled at.

Just as the black sword was about to pierce Xu Guang’s back heart, Xu Guang moved.

"Scram!"

With a roar, the world suddenly changed.

From him surged an overwhelming aura, like a tidal wave crushing mountains, pressing towards the black sword behind him.

The world exploded.

Countless visible ripples reverberated layer upon layer in the air.

The pitch-black sword halted before Xu Guang’s eyes.

Violently trembling.

That three-inch distance seemed like a vast chasm, impossible to bridge.

Under the Martial Master’s Might, shadows writhed, manifesting a figure.

The figure was painted with various colorful totems, unmistakably a barbarian.

His eyes trembled, the black sword in his hand just three inches away...

He was unwilling, but...

Xu Guang quietly raised his hand, serenely placing it atop the figure’s head, as if from beginning to end, he could do nothing.

The Meaning of Life and Death circulated, the person’s face visibly aging at a rapid pace.

"In your next life, think rightly about whom to trust and whom not to."

"Courting death is something you can only do once in a lifetime."

He lifted his hand, and the body fell heavily to the ground.

Already beside Xu Guang, Rong Jin and You Chen felt dizzy in their minds.

A half-step Fourth-Grade barbarian who had used a Summoning Technique to assassinate a Sect Leader under a Blood Curse was... killed this simply with a mere palm strike!?

One reprimand, and the person seemed to lose all ability to act.

Not just them.

At this moment, all those witnessing outside looked at Xu Guang with a mixture of gravity and unprecedented apprehension.

This new Sect Leader of Dragon Gate...

Is quite formidable.
