Chapter 122 122: Dark Future



"Did they find out?" Duan Mu exclaimed with concern, noticing people on the streets move aside to clear the path of the Ancestors of the Three Clan, who were followed by the Patriarchs. 

He couldn't help but wonder if all these people were here to kill Xu Shan, realizing how dangerous he was. 

Even though Duan Mu knew that Xu Shan was stronger than his Patriarch, even he wasn't sure what was going to happen if all the Ancestors fought together. 

Duan Mu slowed down, as his feet started hesitating. However, noticing the calm expressions of Xu Shan, he didn't stop either. He had faith in Xu Shan. 

And even if they were to die here, he was willing to die first! He had sworn loyalty to Xu Shan. He couldn't be scared now!

He stepped before Xu Shan, as if trying to hide the young man behind him. 

Xu Shan placed his hand on Duan Mu's shoulder. He was pleased to see that the dog knew how to protect its master, but he didn't need protection. He moved Duan Mu aside, before taking a step forward, observing the Ancestors. 

His eyes revealed a look of disappointment. These people weren't even close to being at the Peak of Sky Celestial Realm. They were even weaker than he expected. Even the Ancestors were only at the Third Stage of Sky Celestial Realm when their lifespan was almost over. 

The people who had cleared the streets for the Experts of the various clans were looking at Xu Shan and Duan Mu like idiots, to still be standing in the middle of the road and not moving aside. But the two of them didn't seem to care about the bystanders' gazes. 

The Ancestors were also stunned. When they felt this aura, they didn't expect such a powerful person to be this young! Moreover, the attire of the man was also peculiar to them. 

They didn't know what his identity was, but they recognised the symbol on the robe of Xu Shan. It was the Symbol of an Ancient force in the Celestial Realm. It wasn't their first time seeing this symbol. 

While bystanders were expecting the three Ancestors to kill Xu Shan in one strike for blocking their path, their eyes were opened wide when they saw all the Ancestors going down on one knee instead, respectfully greeting the young man!

The other experts also did the same. Unlike the bystanders, these people could feel just what kind of Nightmare Xu Shan was!

He was so strong at such a young age that it was unclear just what kind of achievement he was going to have in the future!

"Welcome to the Lower Realm, Senior!' the Ancestors exclaimed.

One of them said, "It's our luck that we had the opportunity to meet someone like you!"

Seeing their reactions, even Duan Mu was stunned. He was expecting a war, but the Ancestors didn't even dare offer resistance. Instead they were offering Xu Shan a greeting like he was their master!

"If Senior doesn't mind, may we ask if we can be of any help to Senior? I might not be talented enough to even be a servant of senior, but if you need me to do anything, I'll be willing to walk in fire for you!"

One after another, all the Ancestors talked to Xu Shan, trying to get acquainted with such a strong person and establish some goodwill. They all wanted to get close to Xu Shan. 

If they could win Xu Shan's support, then let alone the power in the Celestia City or this Kingdom, they could even become the Ruler of this entire world!

They knew that not a single person could go against Xu Shan in the Lower Realm. Moreover, the clothes of Xu Shan were something that a Prince should wear. It was clear that even in the Upper World, he held a really high position. How else was he this strong at such a young age. 

They even wondered if he was the child of some overlord in the Celestial Realm. No matter what, they had to win the favor of Xu Shan!

Unlike the other Ancestors, the Duan Clan Ancestor looked very pleased as he noticed Duan Mu standing behind Xu Shan. It was clear that Duan Mu was close to Xu Shan, which gave them an additional advantage. 

The Ancestor of Duan Clan didn't know just what kind of behavior his clan had with Duan Mu. 

Unlike him, the Patriarch of the Duan Clan wasn't happy. He knew that his clan didn't favor Duan Mu, after he failed in awakening a Celestial Spirit. He didn't know just what kind of grudge Duan Mu still held against the clan. 

He really hoped that Duan Mu could look at the bigger picture and not ask Xu Shan to harm his own clan. 

"I see that Senior has already met Duan Mu of our clan. The Child is really lucky to be in the company of Senior. Why don't you come to our clan to rest for a little?" Duan Clan Ancestor asked. 

The other Clans also offered the same, albeit feeling a little jealous that the young man from Duan Clan was close to Xu Shan. They cursed their own youngsters for not getting this opportunity and being useless!

Xu Shan had multiple offers on where he could rest. However, he already had a purpose in coming here, and for that purpose, he had only one choice. 

"Since the young one is from the Duan Clan, I shall stay at the Duan Clan for a while and rest...." Xu Shan took the offer of the Duan Clan, glancing at Duan Mu. 

Duan Clan Ancestor happily escorted Xu Shan back to the Duan Clan while announcing that they were going to throw a banquet tonight in Xu Shan's honor!

Neither Duan Mu, nor the Duan Clan knew what kind of Chaos was waiting for them. If they knew, both of them would've cursed this meeting for an eternity…
