Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 356 The Three Elders Speak in Unison, Shaking the Nine Kingdoms

The icy blue azure energy surged forth from the token like a torrent, instantly dyeing the entire sky a vast, starry, icy blue.

The token floated in the air, emitting a dazzling light, and its surface was covered with dense ancient runes.

These ancient runes continuously coalesced in the air, eventually transforming into a blue pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

……

Liang Kingdom, Canglan Martial Arts Academy.

The disciples of Canglan Martial Academy looked up at the vast, icy blue starry sky above, their eyes filled with awe.

Those who had entered Canglan Lake and absorbed its energy were now experiencing uncontrollable surges of qi and blood within their bodies.

"Is this the Azure Energy?"

Dean Hua Qianwu's eyes were filled with shock. Such a dense azure energy, filling the entire sky, was something he could not have imagined.

……

Cold country.

The Imperial Palace of the Frozen City.

Fei Jun was discussing with his junior brother how to collect innate energy when, in the next moment, both of them looked up at the sky and saw the rolling ice-blue energy, their eyes instantly filled with awe.

"Canglan energy... Could it be the arrival of a powerful figure from the Canglan Sect?"

……

Elephant Kingdom.

Yan State.

The State of Zhao.

Wu State.

……

All the warriors and common people in the nine kingdoms witnessed the changes in the sky above them.

This extraordinary celestial phenomenon prompted many people to kneel down, praying devoutly for divine protection.

……

Sea area.

Several large ships were sailing on the sea.

"Uncle-Master, what's going on?"

A young man on the deck watched the sky change color and hurriedly shouted towards the cabin.

Inside the cabin, an elderly man in his fifties emerged. Upon seeing the icy blue sky, a look of doubt crossed his eyes: "Canglan energy... Could it be that a powerful figure from the Canglan Sect also came here to escape the Annihilation Storm?"

These ships, some hundreds of miles apart and others thousands of miles apart, all stared in astonishment at the sky above.

They all came here after the annihilation storm had subsided, searching for those desolate islands, hoping to find some martial arts resources.

……

Outside Lingxiao City.

A silence.

Zhang Xun and his four companions stared intently at the Canglan Token in the sky. Their earlier sneers froze on their faces. They had never heard of the Canglan Token being able to unleash such a celestial phenomenon.

boom!
Like a thunderclap, the vast, icy blue sea of ​​stars in the sky suddenly began to rotate. The sea of ​​stars dissipated, and in its place appeared the phantom of a mountain peak, with the words "Canglan" faintly visible on its summit.

The moment the phantom of the mountain peak appeared, an overwhelming pressure enveloped the surrounding area as if the sky were collapsing.

Zhang Xun and his four companions' expressions changed drastically. Their innate qi dissipated under the overwhelming pressure, and they staggered back several steps. All the martial artists present were suffocated by this pressure.

Fortunately, this oppressive aura only lasted for a moment, but even so, it made the faces of the martial artists present turn pale.

At the scene, only Lin Chen remained unaffected.

His black hair danced wildly, his robes fluttered, and the phantom of a mountain peak appeared above and behind him like a halo, making him appear as if a god had descended to earth.

"I am Zhou Zhifeng, an elder of the Canglan Sect!"

A majestic and ancient voice suddenly resounded throughout the land, and the vast energy in the sky surged and spread throughout the entire Nine Kingdoms.

"I am Mei Jingfeng, an elder of the Canglan Sect!"

Another voice rang out, deep and resonant.

"I am Qu Guanfu, an elder of the Canglan Sect!"

The three voices were different, but they all sounded like thunderclaps to the ears of the warriors from all nine kingdoms, deafening and deafening.

"Lin Chen is a disciple personally taught by an elder of my Canglan Sect. No matter what Lin Chen does, if you dare to harm him in the slightest, my Canglan Sect will crush your sect and exterminate your entire family."

This is Qu Guanfu's voice, and his domineering nature is evident in his words.

No matter what Lin Chen has done, anyone who dares to lay a hand on him or seek revenge will have their sect wiped out by the Canglan Sect, and not a single descendant of their family will be spared.

His words shocked everyone.

But the words of the other two elders that followed were even more domineering.

"Lin Chen is a disciple personally taught by an elder of my Canglan Sect. Anyone who dares to infringe upon the territory protected by Lin Chen shall be considered an enemy of my Canglan Sect, and there will be no place for you to stand in the territory of the Yanhuang Dynasty!"

"Lin Chen is the personal disciple of an elder of my Canglan Sect. Wherever he goes, all sects should avoid him for a hundred miles! From this moment on, the land where Lin Chen is located will be under the protection of my Canglan Sect. If even a single blade of grass or a single tree withers because of you, this elder will use your souls as lamps to suffer the punishment of being burned by raging fire for a hundred years."

hiss!
"The Canglan Sect is so domineering."

"Protecting Lin Chen from harm is not enough; even in the area where Lin Chen is located, other sects have to retreat a hundred miles away. This..."

The warriors from the nine kingdoms were shocked by the words of the three elders. Could the domineering words of the Canglan Sect really make sects like the Jiuque Sect submit?
Many people turned their attention to Zhang Xun and his group of five.

Zhang Xun and the other four were pale-faced; it was now certain that Lin Chen was a direct disciple of an elder of the Canglan Sect.

The fact that three elders of the Canglan Sect have spoken out personally suggests they are not ordinary disciples of elders. Given the strength of the Canglan Sect elders, a single one of them could easily destroy their sect and wipe them out from top to bottom, let alone three elders.

Frustrated?
How could one not feel aggrieved in the face of such domineering words from the Canglan Sect elder?

Just as they were domineering towards the Nine Kingdoms, the Nine Kingdoms also felt aggrieved.

But they knew even better the consequences of disobeying.

The elders of the Canglan Sect are not people they can afford to offend.

From this moment on, they even had to pray that nothing would happen to Lin Chen. Otherwise, given the Canglan Sect's style, if anything happened to Lin Chen, even if it had nothing to do with them, the Canglan Sect would make them pay for Lin Chen's death.

The Yan Dynasty was a place where the strong preyed on the weak.

“This sect was unaware that you are a direct disciple of the Canglan Sect. My Xuanming Sect will immediately withdraw from the Liang Kingdom… and withdraw from the Nine Kingdoms.”

Liao Kai of the Xuanming Sect directly chose to submit and did not intend to stay in the Nine Kingdoms any longer. Although the elder of the Canglan Sect said that after Lin Chen's identity was exposed, there would still be targets targeting Lin Chen and Liang Kingdom, and that the Canglan Sect would exterminate the entire sect, before that, it was considered that ignorance was no excuse.

But he dared not gamble. Since Lin Chen was a disciple personally taught by an elder of the Canglan Sect, the Canglan Sect would definitely arrange for someone to pick him up and take him to the Canglan Domain. If Lin Chen said something bad to the Canglan Sect experts who came, the Canglan Sect experts might take action against him.

As the saying goes, the weak have no right to reason with the strong.

"I was unaware that you are a disciple personally taught by an elder of the Canglan Sect. I apologize for this, and my Taixu Sect will also withdraw from the Nine Kingdoms."

The innate experts of the Taixu Sect also chose to withdraw from the Nine Kingdoms, with the same thought as Liao Kai: they feared that after the Canglan Sect sent people, Lin Chen would drag the Canglan Sect experts into a scramble for revenge.

"The Shattered Star Sect also apologizes to Your Excellency. From today onwards, the Shattered Star Sect will withdraw from the Nine Kingdoms."

"Our Seven Stars Sect also apologizes to you and withdraws from the Nine Kingdoms effective immediately."

……

Zhang Xun and the other four spoke one by one, and their words left all the martial artists present speechless.

A dignified innate martial artist bowed his head in defeat and even withdrew from the Nine Kingdoms.

"This is the deterrent power of the Canglan Sect's elder's personal disciple; even innate martial artists dare not resist in the slightest."

"When I learned that the Canglan Sect had thousands of innate martial artists, and when I saw this strange phenomenon appear, I had already guessed it."

"Liang Kingdom will be the only one of the nine kingdoms that does not need to worry about interference from the sects of the Yan Dynasty. Even if more innate martial artists from the Yan Dynasty arrive later, they will not dare to pressure Liang Kingdom."

“I need to go home immediately and bring my family to Liang Kingdom as soon as possible. I originally thought that with the arrival of the innate martial artists of the Yan Dynasty, the martial arts of our Nine Kingdoms would explode. But now it seems that these sects of the Yan Dynasty are not here to cultivate our martial artists at all, but only to plunder our martial arts resources.”

Today's battle in Lingxiao City not only showed martial artists from various countries a dramatic and unpredictable outcome, but also revealed the true colors of sects like the Nine Palaces Sect.

……

Zhang Xun and his four companions did not stay there any longer. They left with grim faces, knowing that staying would only mean more humiliation.

"Brother Pei, I stole your thunder. You won't blame me, will you?" Lin Chen put away the Canglan Token, looked at the somewhat astonished Pei Qingming, and laughed.

"Good lad, I'd love for you to steal the spotlight more often."

Pei Qingming, who had always maintained a refined and scholarly image in front of Lin Chen, couldn't help but pat Lin Chen on the shoulder at this moment.

As expected, today's scene will spread throughout the entire Nine Kingdoms. Everyone can see this extraordinary phenomenon, and the fact that Lin Chen, as a disciple of the Canglan Sect elder, forced back these innate martial artists will also spread throughout the Nine Kingdoms.

“You are no longer just the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, the number one genius of the younger generation in the Nine Kingdoms, but the true number one person in the Nine Kingdoms.”

"Brother Pei, my strength is still far from sufficient."

"Strength means nothing to you."

Pei Qingming knew very well that with the strength that Canglan Sect had displayed, Lin Chen's ability to become an elder's personal disciple was absolutely no problem.

"This is not me praising you, but all the martial artists of the Nine Kingdoms would agree with this."

"I……"

"You two don't need to flatter each other. You are both the future of our Great Liang, cough cough..."

Kong Qifeng had a smile on his face, but he coughed before he could finish speaking. Lin Chen and Pei Qingming quickly stepped forward to help the old man.

"I'm fine. Let's go, let's get into the city first."

Kong Qifeng, holding Lin Chen's hand with one hand and Pei Qingming's hand with the other, the three figures—one old, one young, and one boy—entered the walled city of Lingxiao under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"The future of the Great Liang is infinitely bright."

The other martial artists had mixed feelings. Liang, a country that was not oppressed by the external forces of the Yan Dynasty, had Pei Qingming in the past and Lin Chen in the future. In at most twenty years, these two would probably both reach the Innate Realm.

The rivalry between Liang and Han for the title of the strongest nation has come to an end at this moment.

In the Lingxiao Grand Hall, Yu Sanghua, with a complex expression on his face, looked at Hou Zhantian, the dean of Lingxiao Martial Academy: "The fortune of the nine kingdoms has probably all been concentrated in your Great Liang."

Needless to say, Pei Qingming, who had been dormant for several years before soaring to great heights, was already astonishing enough to injure a Xiantian martial artist before even reaching the first rank.

Unexpectedly, there was another Lin Chen, who was even more radiant, and even innate martial artists had to give way to him.

Although it was because of the Canglan Sect, if Lin Chen hadn't displayed his martial arts talent, would the Canglan Sect have had three elders speak out together for an ordinary disciple?
……

Today, throughout the entire territory of Daliang, ordinary people and martial artists alike are spreading the good news, as the gloom that had been hanging over their heads has finally dissipated.

The Jiangnan region is the best!

One step, two steps, three steps...

At the gate of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, Lin Chen's expression suddenly turned strange.

"Lord Kong, Brother Pei, I must excuse myself for a moment."

Kong Qifeng and Pei Qingming were taken aback, their eyes filled with doubt.

"I...I might be about to break through."

After saying that, Lin Chen took the lead and headed towards the Martial Academy, heading towards the Lingxiao Hall.

At this moment, the blood and qi in his body were surging wildly, almost uncontrollable.

Lin Chen knew very well that this was another instance of the [Light of Liang] working its magic.
