Chapter 339: Grandmaster Wu Xiang

Previously when Lei Hongji was ranked 16, everyone already knew that Lei Hongji was not simple. But they would never have thought that Lei Hongji would actually rise to the number one of the Earth Board.
Chi Tong startled and immediately came to a realisation, he chuckled and said, ”That kid truly did not let down my expectations. On the other hand, I do wish to congratulate Grandmaster Wu Xiang. It looks like Xiuran has already advanced past the Earth Realm and ascended the True God Stage.”
The crowd’s gaze turned towards a fat monk sitting on the second seat from the right; this monk was Grandmaster Wu Xiang.
Grandmaster Wu Xiang was the hall master of the Star King Mountain's 10th Hall - Wu Xiang Hall. Even though Wu Xiang Hall was ranked last among the ten halls, no one dared to underestimate this Grandmaster Wu Xiang.
The ten eponymous armies were controlled by their corresponding halls. Likewise, Wu Xiang Hall controlled the Wu Xiang Army.
Among the ten halls, only Wu Xiang Hall didn’t bear the word 'Star’ in it. Likewise, the Wu Xiang Army was the only cultivator army which didn’t have the word ‘Star’. Even though the Wu Xiang Army had the smallest number of people, there were some who believed that the Wu Xiang Army’s battle power could rank in the top 3. Being ranked as 10th among the halls was not a reflection of its true power.
Moreover, Grandmaster Wu Xiang himself was extremely strong; he’s one of the few experts expected to charge into the Earthly Immortal Stage.
Grandmaster Wu Xiang rubbed his bald head, his mouth curved into a smile, looking very simple and honest.
However, no one here would think that Grandmaster Wu Xiang was a simple and honest man; he was a grim reaper. Previously, he exterminated three sects and six family clans in a single day. He literally killed an entire river of blood. All that was because one of his disciples had been killed by a member of one of the family clans, and this clan had ties with those sects and other family clans. All of them had incurred his wrath.
One can clearly see, when Grandmaster Wu Xiang was infuriated, he could truly be a grim reaper.
Yan Huimeng said smilingly, ”Star Lord Chi, I only came here today for a minor matter. My disciple Xiyue is already in Nihility God Level 7, and she is intending to temper herself in space. It’s just that I’m worried about her going into space alone. I heard that the Star Lord’s disciple Lei Hongji is a dragon among men. Thus, I specially came to ask whether the two could form a party and venture into space together. That would certainly put me at ease.”
The moment Yan Huimeng’s words came out, everyone came to an understanding. She was here to matchmake. Since she had already said such words, if Star Lord Chi Tong didn’t consent, it was akin to offending Tian Chi Manor.
This Zhuang Xiyue was so beautiful, as long as she wasn’t retarded, anyone would be willing to agree with that request. Moreover, agreeing to this marriage with Tian Chi Manor would be equivalent to having greater power.
Unfortunately, only Chi Tong’s and Grandmaster Wu Xiang’s disciple met with the criteria of Tian Chi Manor. Since Grandmaster Wu Xiang's disciple, Li Xiuran, had already advanced into the True God Stage, and Grandmaster Wu Xiang himself was a man of few words, Tian Chi Manor Lord Yan Huimeng chose Lei Hongji. This was also within everyone's expectations.
The moment Chi Tong heard that, he immediately came to an understanding, chortling as he said, ”Being able to earn the appreciation of Manor Lord Yan is Hongji's fortune. As long as Lady Xiyue agrees, then I will call the shots. Let me get Hongji over and settle this in front of everyone.”
Zhuang Xiyue was so beautiful. Unless Lei Hongji had some problems with him, he would definitely be willing to be dao companions with Zhuang Xiyue.
Chi Tong was also clear that Yan Huimeng mentioned this here in front of everyone so that she could set things in stone. Both sides could not renege on their words.
Being able to form ties with Tian Chi Manor was simply a dream come true. Chi Tong immediately sent out a message, and not long later, a message was returned to his communication bead.
Chi Tong was slightly apologetic as he said to Yan Huimeng, ”After attaining Rank 1 on the Earth Board, Hongji had already started preparing for his tribulation to advance to the True God Stage.”
Yan Huimeng was full of smiles as she said, ”That's of course. Space is so dangerous; the higher your power, the safer you will be.”
After saying that, she turned to Zhuang Xiyue, ”Xiyue, what do you think about mine and the Star Lord's suggestions? Of course, you will make your own decisions.”
Zhuang Xiyue bowed towards Yan Huimeng, then towards Chi Tong who was the seat of power, before saying, ”I will leave everything to master to decide.”
Tian Chi Manor’s most beautiful women were bound to be dao companions with this generation's most promising men. Before Zhuang Xiyue entered Tian Chi Manor and became Yan Huimeng’s disciple, she had already known that. That's why for a long time, she would always go look up on matters about some heroic youths.
Even though she had never met many people on the Universal Board and the three other boards, she knew much about their origins and stories.
This was supposed to be a cause for celebration. However, at this moment, a flying messenger sword rapidly flew into Grandmaster Wu Xiang's hands.
