Chapter 67: The Humble and Gentle Chu Kuangren, A Crowd of Shocked Honorables
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Three days.
Using the Treasure Locating Skill, Chu Kuangren led Lan Yu and the others on a crazy three-day looting spree within the Secret Realm. They did not loot all of the valuable treasures in the Secret Realm, but they did obtain at least seventy or eighty percent of the items there, which was already a scary feat in itself.
After all, many sky-prides went into the Secret Realm. Besides the cultivators from the sage orthodoxies, there were also those from the sage tribes, which then brought the total to around one or two hundred people altogether. However, Chu Kuangren alone obtained (TN: the author used 独战, assumed to be a typo of 独占) eighty percent of the valuable treasures within that Secret Realm!
That very fact was enough to shock most people.
Adding to the fact that he looted everything in Honorable Yuan Ling’s treasury after just descending from the mountain, Chu Kuangren’s net worth in terms of valuable treasures and priceless items would already exceed that of an Honorable Orthodoxy!
“What a pity. Although the treasures obtained are plenty, not a lot of them are useful to me. Besides, I can’t even find the Luminous Moon Sage’s inheritance. Woe is me indeed.”
Chu Kuangren sighed.
Perhaps the Luminous Moon Sage could not leave one in time as he was on the brink of death after battling the Black Light Sage.
“Alright, the treasure hunt is almost over. It’s time we leave.”
Chu Kuangren said.
…
Outside the Secret Realm.
A few elders and experienced cultivators anticipated that the current expedition within the Secret Realm should be ending soon, so one of the Honorable cultivators said, “There must be numerous Opportunities of Fortune within this Secret Realm. I guess most of them must surely return with some reward in hand.”
“Yeah, I agree.”
“We’ll just need to find out who dominated in terms of valuable items obtained.”
Beside them, Honorable Lei Huo was silent but had a grim expression on him. After all, this excursion into the Secret Realm came with a heavy cost to his sage tribe!
The loss of a Young Emperor could never be made up for.
“I don’t care. Your disciples better have nothing to do with the death of my tribe’s Young Emperor. If not, my tribe will never let you off that easy!”
Honorable Lei Huo’s chilling tone swept across the other Honorables in the crowd.
However, everyone in the crowd seemed unbothered.
Every Honorable Orthodoxy here was similar in strength and power, so nobody was afraid.
“Sheesh, speaking in such a menacing way, who’re you scaring huh?” When she heard that, Elder Ruyan, who already could not see eye to eye with Honorable Lei Huo, could not help but ridicule him.
Honorable Lei Huo glared at her. “Among the sky-prides that entered to explore the Secret Realm this time, only your Black Heaven Sect’s Chu Kuangren seemed the most formidable besides my tribe’s Young Emperor. If we’re talking about anyone who can kill him, hmph, the most suspicious one will be Chu Kuangren.”

“Hmph, what a load of nonsense. Chu Kuangren is a humble and gentle disciple, who has never had any intention to harm others. Within the Secret Realm, Opportunities of Fortune naturally coexist with the numerous risks and dangers there. Who will have known then that perhaps your tribe’s Lei Ao died because he accidentally activated some sort of restriction or trap mechanism.”
Elder Ruyan said.
The Honorables from the other orthodoxies suddenly had a weird look on their faces.
‘Humble and gentle?’
‘Are you kidding me?’
‘Declaring war on everyone in the world, murdering the White Cloud’s Honorable Swordsman, and killing everyone in the White Cloud city hall; how can Chu Kuangren ever appear to be a humble and gentle person after doing all that?’
Hiding within the void, the Seventh Forefather could not help but grin when he heard Elder Ruyan’s words. ‘That little guy, humble and gentle? Yeah right.’
Whoosh…
At that moment, someone came out from the Secret Realm.
It was Fangtian from the Five Way’s Sect.
“Fangtian!” Just when the Honorable cultivator from the Five Way’s Sect went to welcome him back, someone else was already one step ahead of him. It was Honorable Lei Huo from the Thunder Falcon Tribe.
Honorable Lei Huo asked coldly, “Who killed my tribe’s Young Emperor!”
“Hmph, you better don’t step out of line, Honorable Lei Huo.”
The unsatisfied Honorable cultivator from the Five Way’s Sect cautioned.
“I’m only asking him.”
By then, everyone was already looking at Fangtian as they were also interested in that matter.
“It’s… Chu Kuangren!” Fangtian did not bother hiding that fact.
Honorable Lei Huo’s expression turned very grim the moment those words came out. “Alright, I see. It is indeed Chu Kuangren!”
Elder Ruyan was a bit confused.
She had just complimented Chu Kuangren’s humble and gentle nature as an overall good person but of all things, that person had to go and slay a Young Emperor. She was a little caught off guard by the sudden news.
“What do you have to say for yourself, Black Heaven Sect!”
The enraged Honorable Lei Huo glared at Elder Ruyan.
“There must be a valid reason why our Kuangren would kill Lei Ao. Maybe it was because of your tribe’s Lei Ao who kept provoking and challenging him?”
Following that, everyone looked back at Fangtian, allowing him to continue the story.
Not letting a single fact loose, Fangtian gradually retold everything that happened in detail.
“The sage’s body. So they were fighting over the sage’s corpse!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, if that’s the case, that sage’s body is now in the hands of Chu Kuangren. That guy really is a brutal one.”
“Single-handedly going against the world? He does live up to his name. (TN: Chu Kuangren’s name 楚狂人 can also be translated as Madman Chu, implying that Chu Kuangren is a madman indeed.)”
“Chu Kuangren is really ‘humble and gentle’ indeed, so humble that he now owns the sage’s dead body, without even leaving or splitting it with the others.”
At that point, Honorable Lei Huo was not the only one who looked grim.
The other Honorables had a bad look on their faces too.
Elder Ruyan then casually said, “It’s only natural that the sage’s body was obtained by someone skilled. The fact that our Kuangren can single-handedly get that body for himself is a sign that he possesses the skills and abilities to do so.”
“Regarding the matter of killing Lei Ao, heh, injuries and deaths like his are inevitable when sky-prides fight. If he’s dead, then so be it, we can only blame him for his inferior skills.”
The meaning of her words was clear.
‘Whatever my Black Heaven Sect’s Chu Kuangren does, there’s always a reason for it.’
‘What do you want to do?’
‘Go to war because of this?’
The great wars between sage orthodoxies were no joke. Once war broke out, there would be no guarantee that the ashes of all living beings involved would remain as the orthodoxies were relentless in their battles; they never gave up easily. Due to that, it was not impossible for even orthodoxies with inheritances that date back to tens of thousands of years to be wiped out overnight.
“Not… Not only that.” Fangtian gritted his teeth and continued on, letting everyone know about Chu Kuangren and the others’ looting spree within the Secret Realm.
The more the crowd of Honorable cultivators listened, the more terrified and anxious they felt.
Everyone stared at Elder Ruyan with enraged looks.
“You people of the Black Heaven Sect have gone overboard!”
“Since all the treasures of the Secret Realm were taken by you people, what else is left for us to take then? Do you think we all came here just to get nothing?”
“That’s right, Chu Kuangren just give us an explanation!”
“Can you Black Heaven Sect people live with the fact that a single person occupies most of the treasures from there?”
Elder Ruyan was shocked.
It was just too overwhelming.
Upon hearing the barrage of questions from the crowd of Honorable cultivators, Elder Ruyan regained her composure and said calmly, “These valuables and treasures are obtained by Chu Kuangren with his own abilities. Of course, it’s justified that skilled people get what they deserve using their own strength. Why should I give you all an explanation?”
“You…”
The crowd of Honorable cultivators was so enraged that they were speechless.
“And also.”
At that point, Fangtian started to speak again.
The crowd of Honorable cultivators immediately turned their gazes towards him.
“And what? What crazy thing did that Chu Kuangren do this time?”
“Hmph, that Chu Kuangren really is a skilled person.”
Under the gaze of the Honorable cultivators, Fangtian took a deep breath and said, “Chu Kuangren, that guy… he… He killed a sage!”
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
That silence was so immense that even a pin drop could be heard.
Just as Fangtian was surprised, wondering why no one was speaking, numerous surges of domineering aura landed on him and it almost stomped him into the ground.
“The hell did you just say! Chu Kuangren killed a sage?”
“How can this be possible!”
“Bullshit, how can such a thing ever happen.”
Everyone could not believe what they heard.
However, the moment they recalled the signs of a sage dying, everyone had already believed that fact. All they felt then was an incredible sense of disbelief.
‘How can Chu Kuangren kill a sage!’
Even Elder Ruyan was taken aback by the news.
“Fangtian, speak up now!” the Five Way Sect’s Honorable cultivator hurriedly said.
After that, Fangtian proceeded to tell everyone about the incident that happened within the Gray Mist. Once they had all heard what he had to say, the crowd of Honorable cultivators felt that such a thing was too surreal.
‘A young junior killing a sage?’
No matter how one listened, they would certainly think that Fangtian was spewing nonsense.
Soon after, more people started to come out from the Secret Realm.
Some of the Honorable cultivators went up to them and asked about Chu Kuangren. However, all the replies matched with what Fangtian had told them.
“Does this guy want to rebel against the heavens now? Last time he killed an Honorable Swordsman, now he has slain a sage. Is this guy even human?”
“Even if this is the Era of great battles, the existence of a person of such caliber is just too terrifying.”
“What that person around, how could the other sky-prides ever hope to contend for a place in the Emperor Realm? Living with such a person in the same era truly is depressing!”
