Chapter 143 Even mounts are now competing for positions.
"Have you heard? A Nascent Soul cultivator has emerged in Yunzhou. In the battle of the East Sea, he beheaded Kong Delin, the patriarch of the Tianhou clan. It's said that he captured the entire Tianhou clan to use as mounts!"
"Do I even need to hear about it? I saw it with my own eyes! That person was ruthless! He used a magic weapon to contain ten golden crows, all ten of them rising at once to scorch the heavens and boil the seas. That heavenly beast was roasted to death!"
"Your information is too outdated. That person isn't just a Nascent Soul cultivator; he's still at the True Lord level!"
"Master Hong, don't talk nonsense! The patriarch of the Tianhou clan is a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"A Nascent Soul True Monarch defying a superior cultivator? Even with Ling Xuzi's extraordinary talent, he only managed to kill a poor cultivator who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage."
"That's a pipe dream! Kong Delin of the Tianhou clan is a veteran Nascent Soul expert. I'd rather believe that Senior Yu Jiaolong can ascend than believe that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator can kill a late-stage Nascent Soul Tianhou."
When the schoolmaster heard that his friends were questioning him, he became unhappy.
"My new Dragon Lord appreciates my talent and has appointed me as the General of the Southwest Water Palace. That True Lord Chen is a close friend of the Dragon Lord. After he killed Kong Delin of the Heavenly Hou Clan, he rested on my Seven Immortal Islands. I even greeted the True Lord in person. Do you think you know better than I do?"
At this moment, Chen Zhenjun, whom Hong Gong mentioned, was sitting and talking with Long Qian in the Dragon Palace.
"I don't care about those left behind in the original clan territory. But those that have already been handed over to the true spirit will be my family's future mounts. I can't possibly give them to you."
Chen Chunan shook his head.
Long Qian was still trying to persuade him: "I can do without Kong Lin, but you can give me Kong Deming. I've just taken office, so I have to do something to establish my authority first, otherwise I'll just be a figurehead."
"That's impossible. Kong Deming is a Nascent Soul cultivator. The resources required to create a Nascent Soul cultivator are enormous. You expect me to just hand over a Nascent Soul henchman I got for free? Don't even think about it. If you have nothing to do, go find something. As for me, I have to go back."
Chen Chunan ignored Long Qian and got up to leave.
Long Qian could only sigh as he watched Chen Chunan's retreating figure. He regretted that he had been so foolish as to agree to become a Dragon Lord, and now his life was worse than before.
...
the other side
The Tianhou clan members were also saddened by the spiritual rain that fell from the heavens and earth when they saw their clan leader fall.
They initially harbored some resentment towards the clan chief because of the fact that they had to become slaves to survive on this day.
Now that they learned that the clan leader had actually traded his own life for theirs, the resentment in their hearts completely dissipated.
...
After leaving the East China Sea, Chen Chunan returned on a rainbow.
Chi Mianxi, Chen Yunling, and Hongxian immediately went to meet them.
"Brother, why have you been gone for so long?"
"Master~"
"Chu Nan? Is Kong Delin dead?"
Chen Chunan looked at the three women surrounding him and answered them one by one.
"My brother was delayed on Seven Fairy Island for a while because of some business."
"Kong Delin died; he committed suicide, and his spirit and body perished."
Chen Chunan still felt a certain respect for Kong Delin when he mentioned him.
Chen Chunan recalled Kong Delin's last request to him before his death, and looking at the trembling Tianhou in the square, he began to worry about how to arrange things.
Kong Deming noticed that Chen Chunan seemed to be deep in thought as he looked at them.
It is speculated that he was considering how to deal with himself and his tribesmen.
He immediately stepped forward and said, "True Lord, Deming is willing to serve as your mount! Any other members of the clan who are of goodwill to you may choose one as your mount, as long as you allow us to continue our lineage."
The green rhinoceros, which had been leisurely lying not far away basking in the sun and enjoying the spiritual fruit, suddenly widened its eyes.
No, you, a Nascent Soul cultivator, are trying to steal my job?
Qing Si suddenly panicked. She was ordered by her father to be Chen Chunan's porter, but Chen Chunan seemed to have forgotten about her and hardly paid any attention to her in the clan.
She usually meditates and cultivates normally, and occasionally goes to the Chen family's spiritual field to freeload some food and drink.
She was initially happy to have a peaceful life, but now she realizes she's about to lose her job!
Or even being kicked out?
Thinking of this possibility, Qing Si could no longer leisurely enjoy the spirit fruit and bask in the sun.
It instantly transformed into its true form and trotted over to Chen Chunan, nuzzling him with its large head in a very ingratiating manner.
She dared not speak, fearing that she would make more mistakes if she said anything, and only expressed her attitude through actions.
Kong Deming knew the identity of the green rhinoceros as soon as he saw the situation.
He was momentarily embarrassed.
Chen Chunan could tell from Kong Deming's expression that he was in a bit of an awkward situation, but he had already planned out a solution for Kong Deming.
"Venerable Kong, there's no need for that. You already possess the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage. In the future, you can simply serve as a guest elder in the Chen family to guard the area within a thousand miles of Yunyang Ridge from external threats. The Chen family will provide you with all the necessary cultivation resources."
When Kong Deming heard that Chen Chunan had arranged such a respectable position for him, he was immediately moved to tears.
"Deming will do his utmost and, unless he dies, will never allow the Chen family to suffer even the slightest loss!"
Chen Chunan nodded slightly.
As for the remaining Tianhou, Chen Chunan was indeed planning to select a few for his clansmen to use as mounts.
With the true spirit in hand, unless you humiliate it to the point of wishing for death, it will never dare to devour the Lord as long as it still has the will to live.
Kong Deming seemed to sense Chen Chunan's thoughts and immediately pulled the two girls over.
"My Lord, these are my daughters, Kong Li and Kong Ruoyu, both of whom are at the early Nascent Soul stage. I've heard that you also have a younger sister and a disciple. If you don't mind, these two girls can serve as your porters."
As soon as Kong Deming spoke, Chen Hongxian and Chen Yunling, who were standing next to Chen Chunan, lit up.
Tianhou are born with the cultivation level of Golden Core, and after adulthood they have the cultivation level of late Golden Core. If they have good aptitude, there are quite a few that can reach the Nascent Soul stage by adulthood.
These two girls are clearly underage Tianhou. With such potential as mounts, they would probably make people extremely envious.
The red thread immediately and quietly touched the lower back of the brother.
Although Chen Yunling also wanted it, she was worried that her master would scold her for being greedy, so she dared not show it at all.
Chen Chunan knew that Kong Deming was trying to curry favor, and he had the same thought.
Having received a hint from his younger sister, he immediately agreed.
"Alright! You two can divide it yourselves."
The two Tianhou girls immediately revealed their true forms and lay prostrate on the ground.
Chen Yunling chose Chen Ruoyu, who seemed more honest.
Hongxian chose Kong Li, who seemed more clever and had more personality.
After Chen Chunan sent the true spirits of the two women to Hongxian and Yunling respectively, he then sent a telepathic message to the two clan elders.
After the two arrived, Chen Chunan said directly, "I will designate a mountain peak in Yunyang Ridge for the Tianhou clan to live on. To prevent them from causing trouble, I will later refine a True Spirit Banner to suppress them. If they cause trouble, you can deal with them directly without reporting to me."
The elders of the three and seven clans all agreed.
Chen Chunan paused for a moment and continued, "In the future, whichever disciple in the clan reaches the Golden Core stage first can apply for their own mount. This will serve as an incentive for cultivation."
Just as he was about to continue making arrangements, a clear and pleasant voice came from behind him.
"Chu Nan, I want that! Give me that Kong Xiangxi seal, I want it to guard the gate of my Water Palace!"
Chi Mianxi's small face was full of murderous intent as she pointed her little finger at a timid young man with his head down.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Chunan realized it really was Kong Xiangxi. What a twist of fate! Meeting someone as vengeful and petty as Chi Mianxi was probably the end of his life.
Upon hearing Chi Mianxi's words, Kong Xiangxi knew that she still held a grudge.
He immediately begged for mercy, saying, "Cousin, you've already hit me! You even broke my horn! Can you please forgive your cousin this time?"
Chi Mianxi sneered, "Spare you? Why didn't you consider sparing me when you wanted to arrest me?"
The thought of spending his life submerged in water, as a lifelong, unfree watchdog, filled Kong Xiangxi with panic.
Chen Chunan reached out and grabbed Kong Xiangxi, who screamed as he was thrown in front of Chi Mianxi.
Chi Mianxi gave a kind smile: "Cousin, I'll try to get closer to you from now on! Don't worry! I'll make sure you don't get hurt!"
