Chapter 396: Age Exposed (1)

Wen Yuannian was the Deputy Hall Master of the Nine Dragon Mountain Punishment Hall. He was a top-notch expert in the Exceptional Divine Transformation Realm. He was only half a step away from the Void Training Stage and would become an ancient giant. His combat strength was ranked in the top 100 on the Ten Thousand Poison List.

Among the ancient giants of Nine Dragon Mountain, Wen Yuannian was one of the strongest. Even the other two true heirs of Nine Dragon Mountain were eager to rope him in. Unfortunately, they did not succeed.

Moreover, Wen Yuannian was still the former Nine Dragons Prince, but he did not obtain a good ranking in the legacy competition. He was only middle-tier.

But even so, compared to the usually weak Nine Dragon Mountain, Wen Yuannian’s results could be considered top-notch.

Regrettably, there was an even more outstanding successor Crown Prince of Nine Dragon Mountain that took away Wen Yuannian’s position as the Mountain Chieftain. Wen Yuannian had been wasting his time until now and had not been able to step into the ranks of the ancient giants.

However, there were quite a number of Successor Crown Princes like Wen Yuannian. Wen Yuannian was relatively outstanding among them. As the Deputy Hall Master of the Nine Dragon Mountain Punishment Hall, he was definitely considered to have a high position.

Once he could step into the ranks of the ancient giants, Wen Yuannian would definitely become the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall and the new magnate of Nine Dragon Mountain.

Therefore, Wen Yuannian could be said to be one of the Soul Formation cultivators that the true crown princes of Nine Dragon Mountain wanted to fight for the most. Under normal circumstances, the strongest person that the true crown princes could recruit was only at Wen Yuannian’s level.

The moment the coronation ceremony ended, Wen Kui only brought Wen Yuannian to visit Zhu Wuyang. This made Zhu Wuyang have no choice but to have other thoughts.

If he could really recruit Wen Kui under his command, Zhu Wuyang’s influence in Nine Dragon Mountain would immediately stabilize and he would have a great say. The Deputy Hall Master of the Punishment Hall held real power and was in charge of the sect rules of the entire Nine Dragon Mountain.

As for the main hall master of the Punishment Hall, he was an ancient giant who was qualified to take in a legacy crown prince as a disciple. Zhu Wuwan would not even have the thought of recruiting him, let alone recruiting him.

Unless one of them managed to become a Body Integration Pillar, only then would he be able to recruit these ancient giants.

In the Thousand Poison Sect, every legacy crown prince basically had an ancient tycoon as their master. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to move forward. It was both Cai Chaoan’s honor and Zhu Wuyan’s luck to be able to acknowledge Cai Chaoan as their master.

“Please come in!”

Seeing the two of them, Zhu Wuwan welcomed them to the living room with a smile.

Zhu Wuyang was about to personally pour tea for the two of them when Wen Kui had already stood up and said, “”Third Prince, let me do it.”

Their identities were different, and their statuses were different. Wen Kui’s attitude toward Zhu Wuyan was also completely different.

Zhu Wuyang didn’t move aside and continued to pour tea for the two of them. “”Elder Wen is too polite. If it wasn’t for your care, I wouldn’t have been able to advance to this stage in such a short period of time. In the future, it’s better for Elder Wen to address me as if I’m well. Don’t be so formal.”

Zhu Wuyan placed two cups of tea in front of Wen Kuizhi and Wen Yuannian.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Wen Kui was all smiles and was happy from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn’t know what Zhu Wuyan’s future would be like, just the fact that he didn’t forget his past kindness was worth Wen Kui taking a gamble.

Most importantly, through their investigation and understanding of Zhu Wuan, the Wen Family also felt that among the three crown princes of Nine Dragon Mountain, Zhu Wuan was the most worthy of investment.

Although it might take a long time, a thousand years later, it would be difficult for the Wen Clan to get enough returns from Zhu Wuan before that.

However, if he succeeded, after more than a thousand years of being tied down, it would be difficult for Zhu Wuyan to forget the Wen Clan’s contributions. At that time, the Wen Clan would definitely welcome a bumper harvest.

Just as Wen Kui was about to speak, Wen Yuannian spoke first, “” Third Prince, if I’m not mistaken, you didn’t use your full strength in the War of Hundred Poisons, even when you were dealing with the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator Wu Chang, right? ”

“About eighty percent!” Zhu Wuyang thought for a moment and raised the number. Not to mention 80%, she didn’t even use 1%. However, Zhu Wuyang didn’t dare to tell the truth. Otherwise, Wen Kui and Wen Yuannian would be scared out of their wits.

Even in the aspect of Qi Refinement, Zhu Wuyang only displayed about 20% of his strength.

However, even though Zhu Wuan had deliberately suppressed his strength, it still caused Wen Kuizhi and Wen Yuannian’s expressions to change drastically.

Wen Yuannian looked at Wen Kui and smiled. ” Kuizhi, I told you before I came. When the Third Prince was dealing with Wu Chang, he probably didn’t use his full strength. It seems like it’s true. ”

“It’s really unexpected.” ” It’s unbelievable that you can’t force the Third Prince to show his true strength even when you’re fighting against a veteran Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator like Wu Chang, ” Wen Kui said respectfully.

Wen Yuannian nodded. ” I admire people with strength and combat ability the most in my life. Although the other two Crown Princes of Nine Dragon Mountain have amazing backgrounds and talents, their combat ability can barely dominate those of the same level, let alone those who fight across realms. ”

” That’s why I rejected the offers of the other two Crown Princes. On the other hand, I was willing to come to the Third Prince’s place as soon as you mentioned it because the Third Prince is a true cultivator. ”

“Cousin, you have to be clear about one thing. The Third Prince is also an Alchemy Grandmaster, and a monster among Alchemy Grandmasters.” Wen Kui only smiled and said, ” To be able to raise his combat strength to such a level while taking into account alchemy, the Third Prince’s talent and aptitude can be said to be far superior to the First Prince and the Second Prince. Therefore, when the others were hesitant because the Third Prince did not have any background and had just ascended the throne, we came to follow him at the first moment. ”

Hearing the two’s affirmative answers, Zhu Wuyan was overjoyed. Just as the two of them had said, although Zhu Wuyan had already become the third prince of Nine Dragon Mountain, the talent and aptitude he had displayed were quite shocking, and he had even obtained the strong support of the Dragon Flame Palace Master, he was still a little worried.

However, in the end, Zhu Wuan was just a cultivator from a remote place with no background. When Zhu Wuan entered the top 100 of the Hundred Poison Ranking List, Nine Dragon Mountain Master Lou Guangzhi and Dragon Flame Hall Master Cai Chaoan had already sent people to confirm this and even found the location of the Nine Zhao Kingdom.

The Void Refinement Realm powerhouses of Nine Dragon Mountain were very clear about Zhu Wuan’s background and the situation of the Hundred Poisons Sect of Nine Zhao Nation, and they had completely eliminated any suspicions about Zhu Wuan.

They also learned something that shocked them. Zhu Wuwan was only in her twenties this year, and she was extremely talented in terms of comprehension. She often entered the state of enlightenment.

Just based on what he already knew, Zhu Wuyan had comprehended it several times. It was precisely because of this that Zhu Wuyan was able to improve so quickly.

However, Zhu Wuwan had obviously deliberately concealed her talent in this area and even disguised her age. She was quite good at hiding her true colors.

However, the Nine Dragon Mountain magnates who knew the truth also concealed the matter at once to ensure that they did not leave any traces behind. This was because even they felt that Zhu Wuyan’s talent was too monstrous. Once it was exposed, the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect would definitely do their best to kill Zhu Wuyan. At that time, it would be difficult for Zhu Wuyan to survive.

Therefore, what Zhu Wuan did was quite correct. Not only was this child’s talent and comprehension extraordinary, but his temperament and shrewdness were also first-class.

It was precisely because of this that Dragon Flame Hall Master Cai Chaoan dared to offer such generous treatment to Zhu Wuyan. Nine Dragon Mountain Master Lou Guangzhi did not object, and the other ancient giants of Nine Dragon Mountain did not have any objections either.

Otherwise, the treatment that Zhu Wanhao received when she just ascended the throne would be far better than the other two Nine Dragon Princes combined. Even thinking about it with one’s toes would make one feel that something was wrong.

Even though the Scorpio Mountain Range wanted to suppress the Nine Dragon Mountain Range, they didn’t dare to offer such shocking treatment. They could only miss out on a peerless prodigy like Zhu Wanhao.

There were also many ancient giants in other mountain ranges, but they couldn’t offer such conditions either. Some of the mountain ranges were far superior to Nine Dragon Mountain, and the resources and wealth they controlled were several times or even dozens of times more than Nine Dragon Mountain.

It was because they didn’t know Zhu Wuyang’s true talent!

Under the deliberate concealment of several ancient titans, Zhu Wuan was just a top Heaven’s Favorite who was audacious, liked to risk his life, and had good luck. He did not have any background, so he was not very attractive to many factions in the Thousand Poisons Sect. If they knew the truth, Nine Dragon Mountain would not be able to recruit Zhu Wuan easily.

To be able to choose to follow Zhu Wuyang under such circumstances, it was clear how bold Wen Kui and Wen Yuannian were. Moreover, Wen Yuannian and Wen Kui were only the Dragon Flame Grotto’s Elder and the Punishment Hall’s Deputy Hall Master respectively. They were also the Wen family’s two pillars.

Their allegiance also meant that the entire Wen family had joined them.
