"He's waited here for a long time. He must have something to discuss with you, so I won't disturb you anymore.

"However, Chu Feng, if you need anything in the future, you can find me at any time. But, remember, do not come to the Four Seas Academy again after today."

As Taikou spoke, he gave a palm-sized crystal to Chu Feng. It was a Sphere of Sealing, and within it there was strange energy that supported a creature-a Delivery Bird. Clearly, that Delivery Bird could find Taikou and would help Chu Feng send messages to him.

"Thank you, Senior Taikou." After receiving the Delivery Bird, Chu Feng once again expressed his gratitude towards Taikou.

Taikou didn't say anything more. With a smile worn on his face, as he waved his hand in farewell, he drifted away.

"This person called Taikou truly is not simple. Chu Feng, do you know where he comes from?" After Taikou left, the Earth King also appeared and came to Chu Feng's side.

"I only know that this Senior Taikou is a Divine Instructor in the Four Seas Academy. As for anything else, I'm not too certain either," Chu Feng replied truthfully.

"Divine Instructor? ...I truly didn't expect such a person to be hidden inside the Four Seas Academy." The Earth King remained looking in the direction of Taikou's departure, his eyes full of graveness and surprise.

"Senior Earth King, is this Senior Taikou very powerful?" Chu Feng asked in an attempt to salvage more information. As a Martial King, and a Gold-cloak World Spiritist, the Earth King could likely understand Taikou's power much better than him.

"This person's strength is far above mine," the Earth King responded.

"What?" After hearing those words, Chu Feng couldn't help but gasp deeply. Even though he already guessed that Taikou's strength was above the Earth King's, after he personally confirmed it, Chu Feng still felt disbelief, especially on the "far" word he spoke of-its meaning was extraordinary.

At that instant, Chu Feng couldn't help looking back at Taikou, but only then did he discover that he had already disappeared. A question unavoidably popped into his mind at the same time it did to the Earth King's: Who exactly is this Taikou?!

"Chu Feng, you know about the current circumstances of the Eastern Sea Region, right?" the Earth King suddenly asked.

"I do understand it a bit, but I'm not sure if it's accurate or not." Chu Feng nodded, then told the Earth King what he knew about the present situation.

"Mm, it's not too far off. The present situation is as you said: the Immortal Execution Archipelago has formally declared war against the Crippling Night Demon Sect, and they are rallying allies from various place.

"However, the Crippling Night Demon Sect will still be able to handle it. Actually, the reason I came to look for you is because there's something related to you. After a discussion between me, the Gold King, and the Wood King, we decided it's better for you to personally take care of this," the Earth King said.

"Senior Earth King, what is it?" Chu Feng hurriedly asked. When he heard it was related to him, he subconsciously felt the news was nothing good.

"Right now, the Immortal Execution Archipelago feels overwhelming hatred for my Crippling Night Demon Sect, but their hatred for you alone is in no way inferior to the hatred they feel towards entire Crippling Night Demon Sect, because the things you did were indeed enough to put them in a very difficult spot.

"And, right now, they are unable to find you. The fury in their hearts cannot be released, so they redirect it towards those related to you.

"At present, they already know you come from a place called the continent of the Nine Provinces. So, they know that there are definitely people close to you in the Nine Provinces. They've decided to point their blades towards it and vent their hatred by destroying the Nine Provinces.

"However, the Immortal Execution Archipelago still puts up a righteous appearance to the public, so due to their name, they cannot do too heartless of an action. As such, they've set up a plan," the Earth King said.

"What are they planning to do?" Chu Feng quickly asked.

"Heh." The Earth King first smiled proudly, then said, "Members of the Crippling Night Demon Sect have been scattered throughout the Eastern Sea Region. Although this does cause the Crippling Night Demon Sect to be split, 'there are advantages for all disadvantages'. The members in various areas have become a powerful net of information for us.

"According to the report from one of our members, we have confirmation that the Immortal Execution Archipelago has hiddenly instructed a dynasty in the Eastern Sea Region. They want them to eradicate the continent of the Nine Provinces, using the excuse of seizing power.

"As for that dynasty, they are merely a small force. Naturally, they don't dare to go against the intentions of the Immortal Execution Archipelago. So, several days ago, they have already started their journey. They are leading their entire clan's experts towards the continent of the Nine Provinces with the aim of commencing a massacre."

"Dammit!"

Chu Feng's expression changed greatly when he heard that. His fists subconsciously tightened, and on his face, what appeared coincident with his anger was worry. At this moment, in the continent of the Nine Provinces, there were indeed many people of importance to Chu Feng. Su Rou, Su Mei, Jiang Wushang, and Zhang Tianyi were at the Nine Provinces right now as well.

The Immortal Execution Archipelago had truly made a fierce move, and Chu Feng also knew who leaked the information to the Immortal Execution Archipelago, telling them he came from the Nine Provinces-the filthy Zi family.

"Although the Immortal Execution Archipelago has made a fierce move, there's no need to panic. The Crippling Night Demon Sect has already prepared a response, and the reason I wanted to meet you so soon is to discuss this with you," the Earth King said with a smile.

"Senior Earth King, then what should I do?" Chu Feng asked.

"Follow me." He leapt forward and up, flying away from the Four Seas Academy. Chu Feng followed.

After they left the territory of the Four Seas Academy, they arrived above a vast sea. The waves of that sea were so high they could touch the sky. The violent gales wreaked havoc, and other than the surging sounds of waves, it was the roars of sea beasts.

But to the vast Eastern Sea Region, a sea like this was no more than usual. One could even say it was one of the most typical seas.

At first, Chu Feng felt confused as to why the Earth King brought him to this place. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a huge explosion. From the sea below, an enormous wave sprayed up.

As the surging wave rose into the sky and rolled around, an enormous thing also appeared within Chu Feng's line of sight.

It was a warship-a black-coloured warship. It flew out from the sea and gradually rose into the air.

That warship was extremely large. On the surface, there were not only many Spirit Formations that could both attack and defend, there were even many large palaces and towers. It was simply as if it were a small castle made by steel.

Most importantly, Chu Feng could see, at the very front steel deck of the warship, over a thousand people standing orderly. The weakest was in the seventh level of the Heaven realm, while the strongest was in the ninth level of the Heaven realm. All of them were at the peak of the Heaven realm.

*bang, bang, bang...*

Quickly after, nine more huge waves soared into the sky, and after the waves returned below, nine more enormous black-coloured warships had shot out from the sea. When they rose into the air, they slowly drifted up to Chu Feng, forming a line.

Not only did the nine other warships have the exact same layout as the first ship, even the number of people and their strength were extremely similar to the first warship's.

Ten warships, and over ten thousand experts at the peak of the Heaven realm, currently stood before Chu Feng.

*whoosh whoosh whoosh* Just at that moment, another thirty-eight people flew over from nearby, and orderly stood in front of Chu Feng and the Earth King. They were thirty-eight Martial Lords, and even though their cultivations were only at the early stages of the Martial Lord realm, they were Martial Lords nonetheless.

"We pay our respects to Lord Earth King! We pay our respects to Lord Chu Feng!" After coming up to them, the thirty-eight Martial Lords all half-knelt in the air simultaneously, and greeted the Earth King and Chu Feng.

"We pay our respects to Lord Earth King! We pay our respects to Lord Chu Feng!" At the same time, all of the Heaven realm experts on the ten warships simultaneously knelt onto the ground as well, greeting the Earth King and Chu Feng.

"Senior Earth King, this is..." Chu Feng didn't really even know what to do when he saw that.

As for the Earth King, he lightly smiled and said, "This is the response I've prepared for you: using violence to suppress violence!"

MGA: Chapter 828 – Current Achievements

"Using violence to suppress violence?" Chu Feng already understood what the Earth King meant as he saw the fleet before his eyes.

These ten warships were very impressive. The value of each one could even be compared to an Incomplete Royal Armament. This was a real treasure built up by large investments.

No matter if it was the over ten thousand Heaven realm experts on the warship, or the thirty-eight kneeling Martial Lords in front of him, they were all of the younger generation. There were no elders there, not even a single middle-aged man.

It was clear that those ten warships and these people were specially prepared-prepared for Chu Feng. The Earth King wanted Chu Feng to lead the young experts of the Crippling Night Demon Sect straight into the continent of the Nine Provinces, so he could kill and display his might to all of the people who held unkind intentions towards the people close to him and the people in the continent of the Nine Provinces.

"Chu Feng, I know quite a bit about the dynasty that is heading towards the continent of the Nine Provinces.

"They are called the Gao Dynasty. Their strongest is the current head-a rank six Martial Lord.

"This time, including the head himself, there are eleven Martial Lords who are heading towards the continent of the Nine Provinces, and over five hundred cultivators at the peak of the Heaven realm, as well as six thousand two hundred fifty-one Heaven realm cultivators.

"To destroy the continent of the Nine Provinces, this formation of people is more than enough. Actually, in all of the vast eastern continents, there are none who can defend against them. However, the formation of people I've prepared for you is definitely also more than enough to eradicate the Gao Dynasty.

"Lead these young ones to the continent of the Nine Provinces. Afterwards, you don't need to look over them. Just dismiss them and tell them to return to the Eastern Sea Region on their own," the Earth King said.

"Senior Earth King, thank you." Chu Feng clasped his hands at the Earth King because the information he provided was really too important, and all of these experts were very important as well.

"Chu Feng, words of thanks are too much. You are already a part of the Crippling Night Demon Sect, and those who dare to attack our members will have the choice to walk only one path-the path to death.

"Go. The Gao Dynasty has already moved. If you leave right now, with the speed of these ten warships, you should have no problem catching up. However, if you delay this any further, you may not make it in time," the Earth King said.

"Mm." Chu Feng didn't hesitate anymore. With an army of over ten thousand people from the Crippling Night Demon Sect, Chu Feng led them back to the continent of the Nine Provinces, his homeland. He swore to kill all those who dared to invade his soil.

Of course, in the continent of the Nine Provinces, no knew about Chu Feng nor of him leading an army back. In fact, they didn't even know that an unprecedented danger had been gradually approaching.

So, at the Jiang Dynasty, it was full of decoration and extremely lively. On every single person's face, there was a smile that could not be wiped away.

It was for no other reason but because the prince whose aptitude was the greatest, Jiang Wushang, had returned.

Roughly a year had passed since Jiang Wushang left the continent of the Nine Provinces, and when he did, Jiang Wushang was already strong-he was at the third level of the Heaven realm. Moreover, Jiang Wushang was the person who possessed the strongest bloodline power in the Jiang Dynasty.

However, Jiang Wushang was now at the eighth level of the Heaven realm. Moreover, what flowed within his body was no longer a Royal Bloodline, but a legendary Imperial Bloodline! How could the Jiang Dynasty not be excited?

The Imperial Bloodline-that was a dream they didn't even dare to think of. In many people's hearts, it was even a legend that came from ancient times.

Yet now, at present, there was a possessor of an Imperial Bloodline within the dynasty. It was something they could not even dream of; it would be difficult if they didn't want to be happy.

And especially since this year's Assembly of a Thousand Clans was held at their Jiang Dynasty, when the dynasties from many areas came, Jiang Wushang could boast the glory of their Jiang Dynasty. And from then on, in all of the eastern continents, there would no longer be a single dynasty that would dare to look down on the Jiang Dynasty.

One could even say on a certain day in the future, the Jiang Dynasty could slaughter a path back into the Eastern Sea Region under Jiang Wushang's lead, and hold a land in the place with many powerful clans.

That was why the entire Jiang Dynasty was enveloped by a joyous atmosphere. They even sent invitations to powers such as the Azure Dragon School and the World Spirit Guild and welcomed them to the Jiang Dynasty to share together such an elating news.

At that moment, within the Jiang Dynasty, there were banquet tables set up. Some of the most famous people in the entire continent of the Nine Provinces were all there as they entered the banquet.

"I truly would never have thought after a short year or so, the geniuses sent out would have such enormous improvements. All of them have already reached the peak levels of the Heaven realm!

"If another year passes, wouldn't they all become Martial Lords?" Within the banquet, the most famous and powerful person in the continent of the Nine Provinces, the Azure Dragon Founder, spoke with a smile.

As the strongest person in the continent of the Nine Provinces, he too felt happy for the accomplishments Jiang Wushang and the others achieved. And especially since three of the four geniuses were from his Azure Dragon School, that made him, the founder, feel proud.

"Senior, you praise us too much. The reason we were able to attain our current cultivation levels is all because of Big Brother Chu Feng's help. To be honest, even my Imperial Bloodline was obtained only because of him." As Jiang Wushang mentioned Chu Feng, his face was full of gratitude.

"Chu Feng? It's actually because of that Chu Feng?" When they heard those words, everyone on scene was stunned, especially the people from the Jiang Dynasty. All of their expressions changed greatly, because they never would have thought Jiang Wushang's current power of the Imperial Bloodline was acquired because of Chu Feng.

If that were true, then Chu Feng had truly helped the Jiang Dynasty greatly. That favour, not to mention them, even their future generations would not dare to forget it!

However, since that matter was an enormous one, it was simply inconceivable.

It was especially so for them, who possessed Inherited Bloodlines. They could not understand how Chu Feng helped Jiang Wushang obtain that Imperial Bloodline. After all, bloodlines were very complicated things. Outsiders shouldn't be able to help them at all, so that was why many of the dynasty's people doubted whether Jiang Wushang's words were true.

"Brother Wushang's words are very correct. The reason we have our present achievements is indeed because of Junior Chu Feng," Zhang Tianyi said, as if afraid they would not believe it.

"We sisters can attest to this as well." Su Rou and Su Mei also spoke.

And after all of their words, the people on scene looked at each other, their faces full of complicated emotions. If it was said they more or less doubted the validity of Jiang Wushang's statement since he spoke alone, then they had no choice but to believe it after all four of those geniuses spoke.

They initially thought Jiang Wushang's rate of improvement was already astounding and could be titled as an unprecedented genius, but now, it didn't look like it.

Chu Feng, who had walked out of the Azure Province then stunned the entire continent, seemed to have even more outstanding achievements, ones far above Jiang Wushang and the others.

MGA: Chapter 830 – Assembly of a Thousand Clans

"Haha, Wushang, you've really made me curious by saying Chu Feng is several times more powerful than you. What cultivation does he have now... How about this. Roughly say the possible realm Chu Feng is in. Has he reached the peak of the Heaven realm?" After hearing Jiang Wushang's words, the Azure Dragon Founder's mood became much better, and actually asked for Chu Feng's cultivation as the crowd wanted to themselves.

At that instant, everyone's gazes were once again cast onto Jiang Wushang because they too were very intrigued at what level of strength Chu Feng had now possessed.

When he heard the Azure Dragon Founder's words, Jiang Wushang lightly smiled, then said, "Senior, to be honest, I'm afraid even you are far below my Big Brother Chu Feng's cultivation. Right now, the true strongest person in the continent of the Nine Provinces is no longer you, but my Big Brother Chu Feng."

After Jiang Wushang spoke, it was akin to a thunder in a clear sky. Everyone was silent, and what existed was only the sound of gasp after gasp.

Not to mention others on scene, even the Azure Dragon Founder's expression frozen. Quickly after, surprise and shock emerged onto his aged face.

It was because Jiang Wushang indeed gave them an answer that surpassed all expectations.

At that instant, they seemed to realize why the always proud and uncontrollable Jiang Wushang respected Chu Feng, the person in the same generation as him.

After that, the banquet continued, but no one mentioned Chu Feng anymore, as if invisibly, they felt fear towards him.

Not many days after the banquet, there were many people alien to the continent of the Nine Provinces entering their borders, and arriving at the Jiang Dynasty.

The long-awaited Assembly of a Thousand Clans was finally about to start.

The Assembly of a Thousand Clans was an assembly arranged by all dynasties at the eastern continents. It would be held nearly every year, and the location would usually be set at the continents with the most powerful dynasties.

This year, it was an exception. The reason it was held at the continent of the Nine Provinces, which the Jiang Dynasty was located at, was not because it was powerful, but because an exceptional person appeared in this continent-the Azure Dragon Founder.

Although it was titled as the Assembly of a Thousand Clans, in reality, there were only a few hundred imperial clans that participated every year. Moreover, the most important goal of the Assembly of a Thousand Clans was to increase the relationships between one another. As they did that, they also picked the most excellent people from their clan and used them to determine the degree of respect each clan deserved.

So, the events of the Assembly of a Thousand Clans were rather simple: other than exchanges by words, it was sparring. And, usually, the most eye-grabbing sparring was one between the younger generations, because that represented the future strength of a dynasty.

This year's Assembly of a Thousand Clans was held on time, and as the Jiang Dynasty expected, Jiang Wushang, who represented them in participating, became a dark horse everyone focused on. He dumbfounded the people who came from various places, various continents, and various clans.

A young man not only possessed the cultivation at the eighth level of the Heaven realm, he even had an Imperial Bloodline. What did that mean? That meant his cultivation potential was unlimited, and that he would have great achievements in the future.

With that child leading the way, the Jiang Dynasty was also fated to rise greatly in power. Not to mention them, fallen dynasties that escaped to the eastern continents, even the dynasties in the Eastern Sea Region would sooner or later be stamped underneath their feet. They would even have a position of their own in the entire Eastern Sea Region, and it was not an impossibility for them to enter the legendary Holy Land of Martialism.

It was because the Imperial Bloodline was a power completely above the power from Royal Bloodlines. It was power from the legends. It was a power destined to exceed everyone else.

However, things were not as successful as they had imagined. Just as Jiang Wushang, with the power of the Imperial Bloodline, was about to exert his dominance over all the younger generations of this Assembly of a Thousand Clans, he met a great enemy whom he had never even heard before.

This was also a possessor of a bloodline. Moreover, he was just over twenty years of age, not that much older than Jiang Wushang. However, Jiang Wushang could not see through his cultivation. No matter what techniques Jiang Wushang deployed, he was unable to suppress that person.

As for who he was, his name was Gao Peng.

*boom boom boom boom*

At that very instant, on the fighting stage, the battle between Jiang Wushang and Gao Peng remained ongoing. Moreover, as Jiang Wushang's attacks increased in strength, the circle of battle between the two became fiercer and fiercer. There were even some older generations at the peak of the Heaven realm who felt immense pressure. They couldn't help but consider if even they were able to defeat those two given they were on the stage.

"Dammit! I don't believe I cannot defeat you today!" When Jiang Wushang, despite using his entire arsenal of techniques, was still unable to defeat his opponent, he was furious because ever since they starting fighting, he had a feeling that Gao Peng was toying with him, that he never once considered him to be a worthy opponent.

"HAA-" Suddenly, Jiang Wushang shouted. On his forehead, a golden "Imperial" word appeared, and at the same time, his aura rapidly soared. A might unique to an emperor burst out from his body, shocking all that felt it.

"The Imperial Bloodline! I've finally seen it again. This aura is indeed far above Royal Bloodlines'."

"This is too impressive. The Jiang Dynasty has been silent and unknown for so many years, but they have now truly shocked everyone with a single appearance! A possessor of an Imperial Bloodline has actually showed up! They will definitely rise greatly in the future, and no matter who, they won't be able to stop them."

Seeing Jiang Wushang exuding the power of the Imperial Bloodline, many of the higher echelons of the dynasties sighed endlessly. On their faces, there was admiration, but also envy because as long as Jiang Wushang was there, they had no choice but to consider the Jiang Dynasty carefully. They even hiddenly decided to better relationships with them.

"That child from the Jiang Dynasty has indeed surprised us all so suddenly. However, that Gao Peng from the Gao Dynasty is not to be underestimated. He has yet to show his true cultivation, and even I cannot determine his strength. I wonder what realm he has reached," said an expert at the ninth level of the Heaven realm seriously.

"Yeah! The Gao Dynasty... I have never heard of this dynasty before! And that Gao Peng, ever since he went on stage, he has concealed his strength. Never once has he used too powerful of a cultivation, but he has no problem defeating his opponents. In all the matches, he has yet to lose.

"Even though Jiang Wushang is currently using the power of the Imperial Bloodline, this child is unperturbed. With courage and intelligence such as his, he will definitely because an outstanding person in the future."

Up until now, they were not only dumbstruck by Jiang Wushang's performance, almost everyone was intrigued with Gao Peng as well. Even though his appearance wasn't as dazzling as Jiang Wushang's, he still surpassed everyone's expectations.

Most importantly, the clan Gao Peng belonged to was even less known than the Jiang Dynasty. It was everyone's first time hearing there was a dynasty called the Gao Dynasty at the eastern continents.

MGA: Chapter 832 – Return of a Powerful Force

*swish swish swish swish...*

Just at that moment, nine more people arrived from above. All of them stood orderly behind the old man. Every single one of them was similarly a Martial Lord, and there were even rank two Martial Lords, rank three Martial Lords, and rank four Martial Lords amongst them. Any one of them could instantly kill everyone if they wished to.

*whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...* But that was not the end. After all of the Martial Lords appeared, sounds of people descending from the sky rained down from above endlessly.

When they looked over, the people falling through the sky were akin to a meteor shower. All of them landed behind the old man-there were several thousand of them. All of them were in the Heaven realm, and five hundred of them were at the peak of the Heaven realm. If they took just a single step forward in cultivation, they would become Martial Lords.

"You aren't from the eastern continents. Where are you from? Why have you come here to stir up trouble?" shouted the Azure Dragon Founder. His expression changed greatly as he stood up.

Due to the present circumstances, he had no choice but to stand out. All of the Martial Lords before, with the exception of him, were wounded by the old man.

The old man had already terrified the crowd, but who would have expected him to bring out such a powerful formation of people? That truly frightened the crowd completely, and at that moment, there wasn't even someone who dared to question those people out of all the dynasties.

Instead, the Azure Dragon Founder, the outsider, became their backbone.

"Haha, there's an interesting one here!

"You are correct. My Gao Dynasty's bloodline is pure, so naturally we cannot poorly live our lives in these eastern continents and shame our name.

"My Gao Dynasty comes from the Eastern Sea Region! We've come here to take over all you filthy beings!" shouted the old ancestor of the Gao Dynasty coldly. His tone was akin to an emperor looking over peasants. The atmosphere made him seem like a lord descending into the world.

"Eastern Sea Region?" Those three words horrified everyone. All of their faces were pale as paper, and instantly their foreheads were drenched with sweat. Where did they even have their former noble appearances of royalty? They were simply like little terrified chicks as they stood on the spot, blank-faced.

They had a very deep impression of the Eastern Sea Region. Many, many years ago, their clans were on that land. However, due to continuous declines, they gradually lost the ability to survive on that land. As such, by their ancestors' lead, they moved to the eastern continents.

That made the Eastern Sea Region an eternal pain of theirs. To be able to lead their clan back was their dream.

However, they also knew very well the level of danger in the Eastern Sea Region. It was a world experts appeared in. It was not easy to return to that land, because any sort of influential force could eradicate them.

Most importantly, none of the dynasties able to live in the Eastern Sea Region were simple existences. One could say they were all unimaginable enormous entities.

And today, there was a Gao Dynasty that came from the Eastern Sea Region straight up to their doorsteps. They knew they were finished. At least, no matter what the Gao Dynasty wanted to do, none of them had any strength to resist.

The reality was indeed the same as their thoughts. Even though peak experts from many dynasties had gathered here, when facing the Gao Dynasty, none of them could even put up a scratch. They were currently akin to a fish on a cutting board, awaiting to be slaughtered.

Fear... Helplessness... Those words were clearly written on their faces.

"What are you planning to do?" the Azure Dragon Founder asked gravely.

"I've said it already. We are going to rule over all of you. To be clearer, we will make you into animals. We will make you into slaves to be used in the future," said the old ancestor of the Gao Dynasty with a sneer.

From the Jiang Dynasty, an elder said, stubbornly, "Don't even think about it! You want us to serve you? You aren't even-"

*boom* However, before he even finished speaking, a Martial Lord from the Gao Dynasty raised his palm and made the elder into a pool of blood.

At the same time, the old ancestor from the Gao Dynasty coldly smiled, then said, "You useless Jiang Dynasty, you fail to recognize your present state. You dare to refuse the recruitment of my Gao Dynasty? You truly don't put us in your eyes!

"Men, destroy this Jiang Dynasty. Destroy the Nine Provinces as well. I don't want to see anything alive on this continent that has trash running around."

"What? This..." After hearing those words, they, who were already trembling from fear, now fell onto the ground from terror. Just because of a single retort their entire clan was going to be destroyed. Even the continent they were on was going to be affected. That was truly quite ruthless.
