The Supreme Lord Donghuang Chapter 246

The Thunder Knife Sect originated from the Lightning Sword Sect.

 Six thousand years ago, there was internal strife within the Lightning Sword Sect. One of the guardians of the Lightning Sword Sect, after attaining the Divine Transformation stage, took a group of elders and disciples with him and left the Lightning Sword Sect to form his own sect, becoming the founder of the Thunder Knife Sect.

 The Thunder Knife Sect had its own technique, the “Thunder Knife Technique,” which was practically the same as the “Lightning Sword Technique” of the Lightning Sword Sect, with the only difference being the weapon that was used.

 The guardian, elders and disciples who left the Lightning Sword Sect changed to using the knife instead of the sword in order to distinguish themselves from the Lightning Sword Sect.

 Since then, the planet gained a new strong sect, the Thunder Knife Sect.

 The founders of the Thunder Knife Sect, after leaving the Lightning Sword Sect, somehow discovered the secret of a treacherous land found on the planet, where they found a quarry of superior spirit stones.

 A superior spirit stone quarry was the foundation for a formidable force in the Hengliu galaxy!

 After gaining control of the superior spirit stone quarry, the Thunder Knife Sect developed itself for thousands of years and became a sect that was powerful enough to challenge the Lightning Sword Sect.

 The Thunder Knife Sect was considered among the superior sects in the Hengliu galaxy.

 Because it originated from the Lightning Sword Sect, the Thunder Knife Sect was always determined to rid itself of the shadow of the Lightning Sword Sect, so they loved to compete with the Lightning Sword Sect at any opportunity.

 This time, the Thunder Knife Sect had gained a new disciple who was a martial talent, and they had brought him to the Lightning Sword Sect to show off.

 The party was led by the chief of the Thunder Knife Sect, Luo Yuanqiu.

 “Luo Yuanqiu, what a rare guest.” As the host to the party from the Thunder Knife Sect, the chief of the Lightning Sword Sect personally brought the four chief elders of the Lightning Peak to welcome them.

 The chief of the Lightning Sword Sect was Yu Yucheng, a man who looked just barely over fifty years of age, but was actually more than a thousand years old. He was dressed in a long beige robe, his long white hair tied behind his back, his gray brows straight and fearsome.

 “Haha… Chief Yu, we have not met for over a hundred years.” The chief of the Thunder Knife Sect, Luo Yuanqiu, was just like Yu Yucheng in terms of age, from both his appearance and actual age.

 However, as compared to the elegance of Yu Yucheng, he seemed plain and ordinary, like a plump businessman in the city market. With pearls and rubies all over his body and his oversized head, his face seemed to always be covered with a bright smile.

 “Almost two hundred years,” replied Yu Yucheng with a nod.

 “Chief Luo.”

 “Chief Luo.”

 Just then, the chief elders of the Lightning Peak standing behind Yu Yucheng, who were the four leaders of the inner valleys, all stepped forward and greeted Luo Yuanqiu together.

 “My four valley chiefs, we have not met for many years either. You all look as good as ever, while I have aged.” Luo Yuanqiu looked at He Jin, Lian Kun and the rest, as he answered with a smile.

 Next, the few old men and the young people behind Luo Yuanqiu also stepped forward and bowed in greeting to Yu Yucheng, the chief of the Lightning Sword Sect.

 “These are the elders of our Thunder Knife Sect, while the young people behind them are the upcoming talents in our sect.” Luo Yuanqiu introduced the people standing behind him, smiling as he said, “Chief Yu, this time, I had wanted to bring these kids out to relax and train… by sheer coincidence, we ended up near your Lightning Sword Sect.”

 Hearing this, He Jin smiled sarcastically. He could already guess what Luo Yuanqiu was about to say next.

 “I had not intended to disturb you, but some of these kids said they wanted to come to the Lightning Sword Sect to see how powerful the talented disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect are… at first I told them: you kids can hardly compare to the talented disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect. Who knew that they could not accept that! In the end, I could not argue against them, so I had no choice but to bring them here to pay you a visit so that they understand that there is always someone stronger than they are. Chief Yu, are we disturbing you?”

 As Luo Yuanqiu spoke, his smile widened as he looked at Yu Yucheng.

 “Of course not.” A slight hint of something flashed deep within Yu Yucheng's eyes, but the smile remained on his face. “I heard that Chief Luo recently accepted an outstanding disciple who is already a mid Dharma adept despite being just twenty-four years old. I wonder… is he here with you this time?” asked Yu Yucheng.

 Luo Yuanqiu laughed. “Chief Yu really has ears everywhere, you even know about me accepting a new disciple recently. Yuzheng, step out and greet Chief Yu.”

 Luo Yuanqiu turned slightly and called out, and a young man in black, who looked the youngest in the group, walked out and bowed slightly to Yu Yucheng.

“Han Yuzheng pays his respects to Chief Yu. I heard from my senior that the Lightning Sword Sect is full of talents who are far more powerful than those of us from the Thunder Knife Sect… Today, Yuzheng and some of my seniors finally got the chance to pay a visit to the Lightning Sword Sect, and we hope to meet the seniors from your great sect.”

 Han Yuzheng was dressed in black with a bulky build. His cold face had a handsome expression that seemed to distance him from everybody else.

 Right from the start, he directly challenged the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect.

 “Would that be convenient?” Han Yuzheng asked.

 “No problem, of course.” At this point, as the chief of the Lightning Sword Sect, Yu Yucheng could not possibly reject this challenge. If he did so, that would be equivalent to admitting that the Lightning Sword Sect was unable to produce any talented disciples capable of defeating the Thunder Knife Sect.

 Furthermore, this Han Yuzheng was naturally talented, at just twenty-five years of age, he was already a mid Dharma adept.

 Regardless of age or the skill of a mid Dharma adept, the Lightning Sword Sect had many mid Dharma adepts who were probably not be weaker than him.

 “In that case, can I trouble Chief Yu to arrange this meeting,” continued Han Yuzheng. “These seniors and I are all mid Dharma adepts… we hope that you may arrange any disciples of equivalent skill level to spar with us.

 I heard from my senior that the Lightning Sword Sect has a grand arena that can hold a huge crowd of spectators… we hope to spar with your disciples there.”

 Han Yuzheng boldly requested to spar with the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect in the largest arena in the sect.

 In fact, he also declared that he wanted to challenge other mid Dharma adepts in the Lightning Sword Sect.

 The Lightning Sword Sect had a total of six arenas, five of which were smaller and were in the Lightning Peak and each of the four valleys of the inner sect.

 There was one last arena, which was the largest in the Lightning Sword Sect that was located outside of the sect grounds.

 Unlike the other five arenas which were meant only for the use of the core and inner disciples, the largest arena was meant for all disciples of the sect to use, hence its grand size.

 “Looks like that disciple of Luo Yuanqiu is not only naturally talented, but highly skilled as well,” on the way back to the Autumn Valley, He Jin remarked to He Mengxi.

 “I noticed that too.” He Mengxi nodded. “He is very confident… he must be sure that in the Lightning Sword Sect, there is no mid Dharma adept who can be his match.”

 Yu Yucheng, the chief of the Lightning Sword Sect, had agreed to the request of the Thunder Knife Sect disciple, Han Yuzheng, and instructed the four valley chiefs to return to their respective valleys to bring the most outstanding mid Dharma disciples to the arena.

 Yu Yucheng himself led the party from the Thunder Knife Sect to the arena, together with some elders of the Lightning Peak.

 Once the Valley Chiefs returned to their valleys, the news was spread instantly, and everybody in the inner sect now knew that the Thunder Knife Sect had come to challenge their sect.

 “The chief of the Thunder Knife Sect brought some mid Dharma adepts to challenge us? He really thinks he can bully us?”

 “They have unfriendly intentions… I heard that the sect recently took in a twenty-four-year-old mid Dharma adept, and that man is here now. He is definitely formidable, otherwise he would not dare to challenge any disciple of the same level as him in our sect.”

 “Hmph! If I had seen this day coming, I would not have tried to rush to attain the late Dharma stage last month!”

 “This time, the Thunder Knife Sect only brought a few mid Dharma adepts, if we do not have any disciples who can defeat them, that would be a huge embarrassment.”

 “That Thunder Knife Sect must have brought their strongest mid Dharma adepts here today… they must have ulterior intentions!”

 “They came prepared. But our Lightning Sword Sect has no choice but to take up their challenge.”

 …

 After the news spread in the inner sect, it also spread to the outer sect, and everybody from the elders to the disciples of the outer sect all rushed to the arena.

 The Summer Valley.

 “Lian Can, after being defeated by Zhou Donghuang the last time, you were able to enter the mid Dharma stage with the pressure of Zhou Donghuang, and further honed our Dharma power. Now, although you have just entered the mid Dharma stage, you are as strong as the most outstanding mid Dharma adepts in the Summer Valley. You can say it was a blessing in disguise.”

 Lian Kun returned to the Summer Valley and asked the elders to gather the strongest mid Dharma adepts of the Summer Valley. He also looked for Lian Can.

 “Today, the Thunder Knife Sect has unfriendly intentions, if you are able to defeat any of the mid Dharma adepts from the Thunder Knife Sect… I can take the chance to request the chief to allow you to enter the Lightning Peak early to become a core disciple.”

 Core disciples of the Lightning Peak were not just Divine Transformation adepts. In the Lightning Sword Sect, a few outstanding adepts had also gotten the chance to enter the Lightning Peak early, becoming core disciples.

 Of course, one had to gain the approval of the chief of the sect.

 “Mentor, I will not let you down!”

 Lian Can clasped his hands tightly together, his eyes shining brightly.

 If he could enter the Lightning Peak early, that would be a huge blessing for him.
