Chapter 35
Heaven Killing Pothole indifferently glanced at Cruel Kill and ignored him. Instead, he turned his head slightly to the right and asked the surprised Cruel Kill Pothole, “Young Dragon, did you see anything wrong?”
“I … this child is foolish. I didn’t see anything wrong.”
Grand Elder Cruel Kill heard Heaven Killing Pothole’s question and stared at Xiao Chen nervously. After a while, he didn’t find anything wrong. Therefore, he shook his head and said embarrassedly. His ferocious appearance turned into that of a kitten in front of Heaven Killing Pothole.
“Hmph.”
Heaven Killing Pothole coldly snorted and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He glanced at the second brother, Tiger Kill, who was also scratching his head. Finally, he fixed his eyes on the third brother, Wolf Kill, who had a pensive look on his face. His expression softened as he said, “Third Son, tell me, what is wrong with Xiao Chen?”
“Replying to Lord Father, Xiao Chen’s state is too calm. Am I right?”
Wolf Kill smiled faintly and said with a calm expression. He didn’t feel uncomfortable under Heaven Killing Pothole’s gaze. He wasn’t as uncomfortable as his two brothers.
Wolf Kill was very intelligent and had a steady character. Furthermore, he was very strong. It was no wonder that Heaven Killing Pothole was given such a heavy responsibility. He was appointed as the Sha Clan’s Battle Hall Elder. He was in charge of the Sha Clan’s security and external attacks.
“Not bad. Third Son’s thoughts are on point. Xiao Chen’s performance is too calm. He didn’t lose his rationality and didn’t kill indiscriminately. This is the abnormal part. Apart from this, his state is exactly the same as when he was in the Berserk Transformation God Bestowment. Why is this happening?” Heaven Killing Pothole nodded with praise and explained more clearly.
Killing Vanquisher didn’t show the slightest bit of complacency after receiving Killing Vanquisher’s praise. Instead, his expression turned serious. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Could it be that Xiao Chen’s willpower is too strong? He’s able to control himself from losing his rationality. If that’s the case, Xiao Chen is too terrifying …”
“En, this is a possibility, but I don’t think it’s possible. Your father is confident that his willpower isn’t any weaker than this young man’s, but after I went berserk, I still inevitably lost my mind. I think that Xiao Chen’s berserk godhood gift might have mutated. Maybe it’s because his killing family’s bloodline is too rare. This is a good thing. If Xiao Chen’s descendant’s godhood gift is the same as his, it will be a blessing for the killing family!”
Sha Potian nodded as his eyes lit up. He made a bold conjecture, explaining that Xiao Chen had a ‘special’ Berserk Godhood Bestowment.
“Ah?”
The conversation between Killing Vanquisher and Killing Vanquisher was naturally heard by Killing Vanquisher, Killing Vanquisher, and the others. This time, they were even more astonished. The way they looked at Xiao Chen had changed; it was extremely complicated and fascinating.
After the astonishment, Killing Vanquisher’s eyes were filled with incomparable jealousy and hatred towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen had naturally heard the discussion between Sha Potian and the others. He had already discovered the difference between his godhood gift and the one described in the books. Hence, he wasn’t sure if it was the Sha Clan’s godhood gift. However, he sincerely hoped that he wasn’t a descendant of the Sha Clan. After the Su Clan found out about the Sha Clan’s godhood gift, he had the urge to return to the Great Wilderness to question his grandfather, Xiao Batian. However, he didn’t manage to obtain the Dragonheart Grass; hence, he ultimately restrained himself.
Xiao Chen canceled his godhood gift and scanned the fascinating expressions on the Sha Clan’s members. Finally, he fixed his eyes on Sha Potian and spoke indifferently, “Senior Sha, it doesn’t matter what my godhood gift is. I just need you to tell me if I’m qualified to make this deal with you.
If you don’t think I’m qualified, I’ll leave immediately! ”
The moment Xiao Chen’s cold and incisive words left his mouth, the originally lively scene turned silent once again. The Sha Clan’s Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Seventh Young Master were once again displeased with the arrogant Xiao Chen. If it wasn’t for the Clan Leader’s presence, they would probably have gone berserk and killed him.
Hence, no one dared to make a sound as they waited for Sha Potian’s decision.
“Xiao Chen, others might try their best to become a member of the Sha Clan, but with your godhood gift and talent, you can definitely become a top-notch young master of the Sha Clan. Although I don’t understand why you don’t want to become a disciple of the Sha Clan, your godhood gift has determined that you are one. Since you want to make this a deal, I’ll fulfill your wish. I’ll arrange for people to search for and purchase the Dragon Heart Grass. Whether you’re willing or not, I’ll grant you the identity of a young master of the Sha Clan and you’ll enjoy the treatment of a young master of the Sha Clan. How about it?”
After hearing Xiao Chen’s cold and arrogant words, Sha Potian didn’t get angry. Instead, he admired Xiao Chen’s guts and personality very much. He agreed to Xiao Chen’s’ deal ‘and granted Xiao Chen an identity that would make the poor martial artists of the Sha Clan and even the disciples of the big and small clans envious.
“Thank you, Senior Sha, for your favor. However, I’m only interested in the Dragon Heart Grass.”
Xiao Chen said stubbornly. He truly wasn’t interested in the identity of a young master of the Sha Clan. He had already decided that once he obtained the Dragon Heart Grass, he would immediately send it back to the Da Huang for his grandfather to consume and then return to the Sha Clan to fulfill his promise.
“…” The members of the Sha Clan were speechless at Xiao Chen’s stubbornness.
Sha Potian didn’t bother about Xiao Chen’s insistence. He believed that after staying in the Sha Clan for a long time, Xiao Chen would naturally accept the identity of a young master of the Sha Clan. He wasn’t worried about this. What he valued was Xiao Chen’s talent and the special Berserk Transformation God Bestowment. He retracted his gaze and suddenly shouted, “Sha Potian, listen up!”
“Subordinate … subordinate is here!”
Even though Sha Potian had already expected this, he was still a little too excited. He hurriedly ran to Sha Potian and knelt on one knee. With a slightly trembling voice, he replied respectfully and waited for his Lord Patriarch’s orders. He had a premonition that something good was about to befall him. After all, he was the one who discovered Xiao Chen and brought Xiao Chen back to the Sha Clan.
As expected!
Sha Potian rewarded, “Sha Potian discovered and brought back an outstanding descendant of the Sha Clan. Your contributions cannot go unnoticed. Now, I appoint you as the captain of the Sha Clan’s guards. You will lead 500 Sha Clan generals and assist the Third Elder in the Sha Clan’s defense and external attacks. Additionally, you will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of purple gold!
Rise. ”
“Many thanks for Lord Patriarch’s generosity!
This subordinate will definitely do his best and not disappoint Lord Patriarch’s expectations! ”
When Sha Potian heard of Sha Potian’s appointment and reward, it was as if the goddess of luck had struck his heart. His heart was surging, and the ecstasy on his face was hard to conceal.
He didn’t care about 1,000 taels of purple gold. The captain of the guards was a person with real authority. Compared to his position as the Sha Clan’s special envoy, it was much more powerful.
The Sha Clan’s special envoy might seem glorious and had a lot of benefits, but to put it bluntly, he was just an errand boy. He didn’t have a single soldier.
The captain of the guards would lead 500 Sha Clan generals. Among the Sha Clan’s subordinates, his status was at the top. Even the elders of the Sha Emperor City’s major clans and the Patriarchs of the minor clans would have to respectfully address him as Lord Sha when they saw him.
With a higher status, there would naturally be more boot-licking. Why would there be no benefits?
“Sha Potian, captain of the guards, bring Young Master Xiao Chen to the Soaring Pavilion. In the future, Young Master Xiao Chen will be living in the Soaring Pavilion. Go.” Sha Potian gave the new captain an order.
“Yes!
Lord Patriarch! ”
“Young Master, please!”
Sha Potian was very smart. He didn’t address Xiao Chen as Young Master Xiao Chen in front of the higher-ups of the Sha Clan. Instead, he addressed him as Young Master. This way, the higher-ups of the Sha Clan would naturally feel more comfortable.
Xiao Chen didn’t utter a single word and followed coldly behind Sha Potian, who was leading the way. They slowly walked out of the guest hall and soon disappeared at the entrance, leaving behind a group of higher-ups of the Sha Clan.
