Chapter 850: The Gathering of Five Overlords!

The White Horse Constellation, the Mu Clan.

Many people found it hard to sleep in their old age, but while Patriarch Mu Qiyun was very old, he slept very well. Even though the sky was brightening, Old Master Mu was still in deep sleep, snoring thunderously.

Suddenly, the jangling of bells stirred Mu Qiyun from his sleep. The patriarch impatiently turned his screen on. It took less than a second for him to appear brimming with energy, a bright light in his eyes.

True experts were alert even in their sleep. At Mu Qiyun’s level of cultivation, sleep was just a habit. He would even be able to sense it when a fly came into his room.

On the screen was his son, Mu Nanchen; this was Mu Fuping’s father. His brows were furrowed as he looked at his father. He appeared in great shock.

“What happened?” asked Mu Qiyun sternly.

Mu Nanchen gritted his teeth and replied, “Several minutes ago, a phenomenon occurred in the sky above White Horse Constellation. ‘When four dragons ascend, a Law Overlord rises’! A new expert has been born!”

Mu Qiyun was startled. Bolting upright from bed, he urgently asked, “Which clan was it this time?!”

Law Overlords were the strongest fighting individuals in the Law Realm. One Law Overlord could fend off an army of thousands!

While the great clans seemed united on the surface, they competed against one another in the shadows, and none of them was willing to fall behind. All the other clans would be very concerned whenever one of them produced a Law Overlord.

For example, in the war between the Skywings and the Moonwards, the Skywing Clan’s hidden Super Law Overlord Xia Wuye had suddenly appeared and given the opposing side a savage beating!

If not for Wuye guarding the Wind Garden, the outcome of that battle would have really put in question. The Wind Garden was the stronghold of the clan, and it getting destroyed by the Moonwards would have badly damaged the prestige of the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade. It was thanks to Wuye that the Skywings had been able to get a clean victory.

Thus, the number of Law Overlords could directly determine a clan’s status! It was a symbol of its rise or fall!

Mu Nanchen pursed his lips and sternly said, “The ‘four dragons ascending to the stars’ phenomenon originated from the Wind Garden. It’s the Skywing Clan.”

“That pack of lunatics again?!” Mu Qiyun’s eyes rolled over and he almost fainted.

The name ‘Skywing’ had appeared far too frequently as of late, and Mu Qiyun felt like his ears were starting to develop calluses. It was as if the entire White Horse Constellation revolved around the Skywings. This Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade was also working rather hard, exterminating two religions and one clan at one go, and what was done was a complete extermination, rather cleanly and smoothly to boot.

The Skywing Clan’s momentum was without par, and whenever the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade was brought up, the people of the White Horse Constellation would turn pale.

Mu Qiyun needed half a minute to compose himself finally. Sighing, he said, “It was only the day before yesterday that news of Xia Gu having advanced to Law Overlord got out, and now these crazies have produced another Law Overlord? It’s truly absurd! Is the rise of the Skywings already foreordained?”

Mu Qiyun was not simply shocked because the Skywings had produced a Law Overlord; he was shocked because that clan of madmen had produced two Law Overlords in the space of three days!

On the noon of the day before yesterday, peak Great Law Emperor Xia Gu, who had been in seclusion this entire time, succeeded in advancing. Not even three days later, the Wind Garden had produced another Law Overlord? This frequency was simply unbelievable!

If Old Master Mu found out that the one who had advanced this time was the obscure Xia Fei, his shock would be even greater.

Old Master Mu slapped his head, determining that he was not dreaming through the act, and said, “The Skywings have four peak Great Law Emperors. Xia Gu has now successfully advanced, so which one is it this time: Xia Yu, Xia Xing, or Xia Mo?”

Mu Nanchen shook his head. “We still haven’t gotten the details. Xia Xing is the likely one, for he’s the Skywing who has been challenging the Law Overlord heavenly threshold the longest; He’s only a tiny bit away from that coveted tier.”

Mu Qiyun bitterly laughed. “If you add Super Law Overlord Gu Li, the Skywings now have five Overlords! No clan in the White Horse Constellation can fight with them now. Even Dragon Ascension only has five Overlords. Truly, comparison can anger a person to death. It’s a clan with only fifty thousand people, yet it has five Law Overlords! The percentage of talents in the Skywings is heaven-defying.”

Mu Nanchen nodded in agreement. The Skywing was a small clan, yet it had five Law Overlords. Let alone the White Horse Constellation, it could be considered a first rate power holder throughout the Law Realm.

Mu Nanchen paused and then said, “I was thinking about Ping’er.”

“What’s happened to Ping’er?” asked Mu Qiyun anxiously. This old man always became extremely gentle and soft when it came to his precious granddaughter.

“Ping’er is on very good terms with Xia Fei of the Skywings, and it’s said that Xia Fei has a Godwing potential. Now that the Skywings’ rise is a done deal, why don’t…”

Mu Nanchen hesitated, looking questioningly at his father, his meaning obvious. Since everyone in the Law Realm had to fear the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade, it would be better to unite the Withered Mu and Skywings through marriage.

“Hmph!”

Mu Qiyun snorted and firmly said, “Don’t mention this matter to me again! Xia Fei has just recently joined the Skywings, and his background is still unclear. Marry my precious granddaughter? Let him attain Law Overlord cultivation first, otherwise he don’t stand a chance at all!”

…

Dragon Ascension Martial Hall.

The news that someone in the Wind Garden had advanced to the Law Overlord quickly reached Kuzan Feng’s ears. As the eyes and ears that the God Race had stationed to the Law Realm, Dragon Ascension was able to receive far more detailed reports than the other great clans.

However, Xia Fei being able to cross the Law Overlord heavenly threshold was a surprise, so not even Kuzan Feng quickly learned that the young man was the one who had accomplished the feat.

Even the most optimistic person would not think that Xia Fei’s advancement speed could really be like a rocket, shooting upward and reaching Law Overlord after only a few months!

“The Skywings are truly mighty! Their clan now has five Overlords! No one in the White Horse Constellation can oppose them!” said Busey excitedly.

Kuzan Feng walked through the bamboo grove as he spoke. “Those above won’t let the Skywings dominate. If my guess is right, the transfer orders will come very soon, and Xia Buyun and Xia Tian will have to go up together.”

Busey frowned. “Xia Tian will be leaving as well? Logic dictates that he should be next in line to take up the seat of patriarch. After all, Xia Tian has been Xia Buyun’s assistant for many years and has the ability. Xia Gu and that one who advanced today have too little experience and may be unable to take up the banner of the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade.”

Kuzan Feng smiled. “The reason is very simple. The bespectacled Law Overlord Xia Tian has too violent a personality, and Xia Buyun had remained behind in the Wind Garden in order to suppress him. If Xia Buyun leaves, no one can hold down Xia Tian, so stay or go, they must do so together.”

Busey nodded. “Hallmaster’s argument makes senses, but if this is true, then the next Skywing patriarch will be one of the two new Law Overlords. The two of them have only advanced to Law Overlord in the last three days, so there’s no telling if they can stabilize the situation.”

Kuzan Feng waved his hand. “You’re overthinking it. The Skywings are the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade, the inheritors of the Law of Speed, and their combat power isn’t to be underestimated. Even if they’re only level 1 Law Overlords, they still may not lose to Super Law Overlords of other clans. Fighting those above their level is practically a tradition for those madmen.

“Thus, even if it’s only the two new Law Overlords left to hold the fort, they should still be able to carry the Skywing banner. Moreover, the Skywings’ old monster had even left Superior Law Overlord Gu Li in the Wind Garden. When the times comes, no one will dare to touch that fiendish blade.”

Busey said nothing. The Skywing truly did have a tradition of fighting above their level. Opponents of the same level who ran into the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade would end up dead or crippled!

After taking a few more steps, Kuzan Feng worriedly said, “Another war between the two races is imminent. The sudden ascendance of the Skywings is truly something to think about.”

Busey froze, and then he urgently asked, “Is it really going to start soon?”

“From the looks of it, very soon,” Kuzan Feng said indifferently.

…

Xia Fei had just come out of his training room when he was assailed by Xia Wuye and Xia Zonghai, who began to interrogate him at once. The two could not understand how Xia Fei had managed to step past the Law Overlord heavenly threshold in a single night.

Xia Fei naturally could not tell them about the Ark fragment, so he could only assign it to coincidence.

However, this explanation set Xia Zonghai off. Was a coincidence enough to make one a Law Overlord? Xia Zonghai, who had cultivated for many years, could not accept this.

With a gloomy face, Xia Zonghai went into his training room. The matter of his chess game had already been hurled into space.

It was Xia Zonghai who had first discovered Xia Fei’s Skywing blood and brought him back to the clan. How many days had that been, and yet this unremarkable character now had a cultivation that surpassed his, even leaving him far behind in the dust? He did not even know if he could show himself in public anymore!

Xia Fei took a short rest. After which, Zanian Feng and Wolf Shunye paid a visit to the Wind Garden. Xia Fei could guess that they had come to bring him to Dragon Ascension Martial Hall for registration. As for whether he needed to remain there and cultivate, that was completely up to Xia Fei. After all, the Wind Garden’s environment was just as good as Dragon Ascension Martial Hall’s, and Xia Fei was already used to relying on himself for everything.

“Getting a meeting with you really isn’t easy. I paid several visits, but you were never around,” said Zanian Feng with a smile.

Brother Gigawolf grabbed Xia Fei and enigmatically asked, “I heard that your clan had produced another Law Overlord. Who was it?”

Zanian Feng also perked up his ears.

Xia Fei was startled. The news traveled rather quickly. It seemed like the Cruelwolfs and Dragon Ascension Fengs already knew.

“It’s just someone crossing the Law Overlord heavenly threshold; what’s there to be so nervous about?” asked Xia Fei.

“How could you say that?!” Wolf Shunye hurriedly explained. “Law Overlord doesn’t just mean power; it also means that one has taken one step into the higher plane! You could be summoned up at any moment!”

Zanian Feng added, “Besides a chance to go up, Law Overlords get many benefits. It’s a big affair for the entire Law Realm. We already know that Xia Gu became a Law Overlord three days ago, so who was it this morning? Was it Xia Xing?”

“It was me,” Xia Fei indifferently remarked.

*Bang!*

Right after he spoke, Brother Gigawolf punched him in the chest and laughed. “Keep dreaming! If you could become a Law Overlord that quickly, I would’ve crossed the Law Emperor threshold ages ago!”

Xia Fei chuckled. “It seems like I can’t trick you, but I don’t actually know what happened this morning. Go and ask Wuye. He should know.”

Zanian Feng’s mouth had already dropped in shock, but when he heard what Xia Fei said after, he immediately closed his mouth and bitterly chuckled, blaming himself for believing Xia Fei’s ‘lie’.

At this time, Oro suddenly commented, “Xia Fei, have you noticed? It seems like your brain region has become obscured. Others can’t tell what your cultivation level now is anymore.”
