When they saw Chu Nan walking towards the stable, the coachmen immediately bowed.
"Greetings, young patriarch."
"Yes."
These horse coachmen used to be from his father, Chu Tianyang's line. Even though the Great Elder's power was overwhelming, they still remained loyal to the clan leader. They were one of the few people in the Chu clan who could stand by the clan leader's line. Hence, Chu Nan looked at them and asked,"Where's my clan uncle Chu Tianhu?" Wasn't he in charge of the horses in the past?"
In the past, as the young clan leader, Chu Nan rarely came to the stables, and those who came to lead the horses were all male servants. However, even though Chu Nan had never entered the stable for so many years, he knew that his uncle, Chu Tianhu, had always been in charge of the horses. Now, Chu Dazhuang was in charge of the horses, and Chu Tianhu, who had been in charge of the horses for so many years, was not here.
In terms of strength, Chu Tianhu and Chu Dazhuang were on par with each other. They were both at the Ninth Sky of Soul Conduit realm, and they were both gifted with one life. They were only one step away from becoming Soul Warriors, but because of their poor talent, they had failed to become Soul Warriors several times. Therefore, they were arranged by the clan leader Chu Tianyang to raise horses in the stable.
"Sigh, this matter is difficult to explain in a few words." One of the coachmen walked over and said.
Chu Nan knew that other than those who were inclined towards the Great Elder's line, these people were the horse coachmen of his father's clan leader's line. Those who were able to support the clan leader under such difficult conditions were all people with strong temperaments. Hence, when Chu Nan looked at them, his eyes no longer had the initial killing intent, but returned to their original gentleness.
"About half a month ago, Big Brother Chu Tianhu was suddenly summoned by the Great Elder Chu Tianqi and was harshly reprimanded. That day, the Great Elder came here and said that Brother Tianhu's horses were getting thinner and thinner. He accused Brother Tianhu of embezzling the money to feed the horses. Then, he pointed at the feces of these horses and said that these horses had diarrhea and were of poor quality. It was all because Brother Tianhu had used the money to buy inferior horse food and fodder, causing the horses to have diarrhea.”
One could tell that the stableman was feeling indignant on Chu Tianhu's behalf.
"No way. Uncle Tianhu watched me grow up. I know him very well. He wouldn't do such a thing.”Chu Nan asked in doubt.
"Actually, we all know about this matter. It's all the Great Elder's doing in the dark. He wants to push Brother Tianhu away and replace him with his trusted aide. The Great Elder had sent someone to secretly put laxatives in the grass, causing the horses to have diarrhea non-stop. Large amounts of diarrhea caused them to become thinner and thinner. Then, they found an opportunity to frame Brother Tianhu. Brother Heavenly Tiger has been managing the horses for the Chu Clan for over twenty years, how could he suddenly have diarrhea?”
The coachman glanced at the hay trough again and continued,""Brother Tianhu wanted to seek justice from the Clan Leader, but the Clan Leader wasn't at home at the time. He didn't even have a place to reason with him. The Great Elder even punished him and deducted two months of his salary. In the end, Brother Tianhu couldn't take it lying down and left Ping Yang Town in a fit of anger. He's already been gone for half a month.”
"I see. It's Great Elder Chu Tianqi again eliminating dissidents and deliberately finding trouble to drive Uncle Heavenly Tiger away. But this is good too. Uncle Heavenly Tiger will leave this place to join the Bohai Chamber of Commerce. At least his life won't be in danger.”
Now, the Great Elder Chu Tianqi was the overlord of the clan, while his father, Chu Tianyang, was becoming weaker and weaker. The important positions in the family's various industries were originally appointed by the patriarch, but now they had all been replaced by his trusted aides by the Great Elder Chu Tianqi. In the Chu Clan and even the entire Ping Yang Town, the First Elder had eyes and ears everywhere. Now, his power was deeply rooted in the clan. If he wanted to overturn this situation, he would first need to strengthen his own strength, then cultivate his own power in the family and increase his influence. Only then would he be able to topple the Great Elder.
"However, I can't spread the news that I've recovered my cultivation base now to avoid unnecessary trouble. Now that Father is not at home, I should pull out the Great Elder's subordinates one by one before Father arrives, creating the conditions for Father to take power in the future. In the future, when he had the conditions, he would definitely eradicate these villains one by one!”
Following the decline of the clan leader's father's lineage, Chu Nan deeply understood that in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, only those with strength would be respected.
At the same time, he had a bad feeling that the Great Elder was about to make his move after planning for many years to fight for the position of the family head. As some of the important positions in the clan were constantly replaced by the Great Elder, he deeply felt that there was an undercurrent constantly surging in the small Chu clan.
If he didn't take any measures, it would be hard to say if he could gain a foothold in the family in the future. He and his father would even be in danger. His father had always been indifferent to fame and fortune and did not have much desire for power. It was said that he was appointed as the clan leader because his father was indeed an outstanding person of that generation, so he was reluctantly appointed. In comparison, the Great Elder's desire for power was even stronger, far surpassing his father's.
"I'm already a fifth stage Soul Warrior, but my cultivation base isn't very high. Even in a small clan like the Chu Clan, there are many people with higher cultivation bases than me. However, I've tempered my body through the continuous fusion of Demon God's blood essence and the Demonic Aether Forbidden Manual. My body's toughness and strength are equivalent to a primary stage Spirit Grandmaster, and my fighting strength should be comparable to a level eight Spirit Warrior. But I'm not completely confident in facing a level nine Spirit Warrior. If he wanted to fight against a Stage Nine Soul Warrior, he would have to first raise his cultivation base to Stage Six Soul Warrior and fuse more Demon God Blood Essence. Only then would his physical strength reach a higher level.”
"Only by fusing all 10,000 drops of Demon God's Blood Essence in the Demon Blood Pool into one's body can one improve one's physique and cultivate the Demon Body. Only then can one cultivate the Demon Clan's techniques and the Canon passed down by the Great Demon God Ancestor."
"However, thinking about these questions now is a little too far away. There are a total of 10,000 drops of Demon God Blood Essence, but I've only fused 1,000 drops, which is only one-tenth of it. He would first increase his cultivation realm and see if he could fuse more blood essence.”
He looked into his dantian and sank his divine sense into the Demon Blood Pool. He could clearly feel that the Demon Blood Pool's level had dropped by a level because Chu Nan had absorbed one-tenth of its blood essence. After the Demon Blood Pool dropped, the empty space above it was now filled with converted demonic Qi. If he could absorb all ten thousand drops of demon blood essence in the future, the Demon Blood Pool would be filled with demonic Qi without any demon blood, and only then would he be able to cultivate the Canon.
Like Vital Qi, Demonic Qi was also a type of Heaven and Earth energy. However, the races that benefited from it were different. Compared to the Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Demonic Qi was a type of energy that was more suitable for the survival and cultivation of demons. If the human race's various essence cultivation techniques were methods that could only be obtained through controlling essence energy, then the fiend race's cultivation techniques were methods to control fiend qi to realize various skills.
" Alright, let's not think about this anymore. Let's raise my realm to Stage Six Soul Warrior first. Every time I raise my realm, I'll be able to absorb a lot of Demon God's Blood Essence. Moreover, the higher my realm is, the more Demon God's Blood Essence I'll be able to absorb. He wondered how many drops of Demon God Blood Essence he could absorb if he successfully advanced this time.”
Once again, he came to the reeds behind the clan's training grounds and sat down cross-legged. He began to circulate the demonic aura restriction technique in his body over and over again. His essence force continued to flow through his meridians and continuously guided the astral winds in the nine heavens. In the end, the astral winds condensed into a black tornado that enveloped Chu Nan in the middle. It spun rapidly and became faster and faster. The speed of the tornado was completely formed by the circulation of the technique and was not under Chu Nan's control. Fortunately, he had strengthened his body by fusing with the Demon God's blood essence. Otherwise, those countless sharp wind blades would have torn his body into meat paste.
This was the astral wind from the Nine Heavens, not the ordinary wind on the ground. It was said that the wind blades naturally formed by the powerful Nine Heavens Astral Wind could even smash hard meteorites into pieces.
