“Great Enforcer, don't worry, Dark Night Forest is very stable. Phantom will go to Sky Sword City immediately.” The man in black robes said. He was Phantom King, the king of Dark Night Forest.
The Jianghu only knew that Dark Night Forest and Sword North Forest were existences of the same level, and there were also Yao Beast kings within them, but few people knew that Phantom King, the king of Dark Night Forest, was one of the Martial Saint Enforcers.
“Enforcer Su Mu is in Sky Sword City. He didn't come this time because he couldn't leave there; as for Enforcer Qing Jun, he guards the Abyss of Evil Spirits and also couldn't come. He has it the hardest; I can't even remember how many years he has been guarding the Abyss of Evil Spirits.” The Master of Black Prison said.
Of the seven seats, five people were currently present. The two absent ones were Enforcer Qing Jun, whose status was second only to the Master of Black Prison, and Su Mu.
“There's one more thing. I recently met Qin Longhan once. He has a chance to enter the Seventh-tier Venerable Realm, but he is currently unwilling because if he enters the Seventh-tier Venerable Realm, he will no longer be able to manage the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan's affairs. In that case, the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan will not be able to withstand the attacks of the other great Saint Clans.” Shang Shu Tianye said.
At this moment, Mei Tianling and Ling Wu both looked at Shang Shu Tianye.
“What kind of look is that? It's true that I am related by marriage to the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan, but would I mix public and private matters? Would I be unable to distinguish right from wrong? If I had selfish motives, I would have dealt with those few trash families long ago.” Shang Shu Tianye said, “Shang Shu Tianye, did you voluntarily enter the Seventh-tier Venerable Realm? You couldn't suppress it anymore, stop spouting nonsense here!” Mei Tianling looked at Shang Shu Tianye and said.
Shang Shu Tianye was about to speak, glaring, but the Master of Black Prison raised his arm, “Didn't I say before that the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan has had no misdeeds in the past hundred years? In contrast, the other great Saint Clans are far inferior in their overall structure, and in how they conduct themselves and their affairs. Clan Chief Shang Shu, tell Qin Longhan that he can Breakthrough. As long as the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan acts righteously, the Martial Saint Enforcers will not interfere with their development; besides him, our Grand Elder of Demon Castle is also about to Breakthrough. Without a Peak Sixth-tier King overseeing things, Demon Castle will be a bit passive, but if anyone dares to cause trouble, I don't mind breaking the rules.”
When the Master of Black Prison spoke, Mei Tianling, Shang Shu Tianye, and the others all fell silent. They held absolute respect for the Master of Black Prison, because whether in strength or virtue, the Master of Black Prison was not on the same level as them. They knew that the Master of Black Prison could have developed in a better place, but he stayed in the Martial Saint Continent for certain sentiments. If Sword Sovereign Changsheng represented an era of the Martial Saint Continent, then the Master of Black Prison represented the current era.
“Enforcer Ling, you continue to guard Martial Saint City. The rest of you, let's go. We'll see why the Black Tortoise Saint Clan has grown so bold!” The Master of Black Prison stood up.
Demon Castle arranged a large beast carriage, driven by flying Yao Beasts, three Fifth-tier flying Yao Beasts, Twin-Winged Tigers!
The beast carriage took off, and several great Martial Saint Enforcers meditated inside.
“Clan Chief Shang Shu, how is your son-in-law?” The Master of Black Prison didn't open his eyes but suddenly asked a question that made the others stunned, dumbfounded. Did the Martial Saint Great Enforcer need to care about someone's son-in-law?
“He's very good, excellent in all aspects. It's just that his temper is a bit too wild; there's nothing he dares not do. I've educated him many times, but he never learns. If he ever goes too far, I'll continue to educate him.” Shang Shu Tianye was also a bit puzzled. The Master of Black Prison was asking about his son-in-law?
“Educate him if he's disobedient, but don't bully him excessively!” The Master of Black Prison said.
“What's wrong with bullying him excessively? Young people need to be tempered!” Shang Shu Tianye was even more bewildered.
“What's wrong? I raised him for fourteen years; did I raise him for you to bully? If your daughter isn't suitable, whether I acknowledge this marriage is another matter!” The Master of Black Prison opened his eyes.
As soon as the Master of Black Prison spoke, the few people meditating in the carriage all opened their eyes.
“Great Enforcer, isn't that Qin Chu a member of the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan?” Mei Tianling asked.
“Twenty years ago, I went to Nanyan Prefecture to handle some matters and discovered Qin Chu, who had been carelessly buried alive by his aunt. After digging him out, I found this fellow very unusual. Since the matter wasn't too urgent, I raised him for fourteen years, raising him with great effort, it wasn't easy!” The Master of Black Prison revealed news that even Shang Shu Tianye didn't know.
“No wonder this guy's combat power is astonishing.” Mei Tianling murmured softly.
“President Mei, you're wrong to think that. I only raised him, and only taught him a set of Cultivation Technique to strengthen his body. I didn't teach him anything else. No, that's not right; a few months ago, I had someone bring him a boxing manual. It can be said that his current achievements are all due to his own efforts. That kid has resilience and perseverance.” The Master of Black Prison said.
Shang Shu Tianye somewhat understood why Qin Chu's temper was so wild. He learned from whoever he was with. The Master of Black Prison also had a wild temper. When solving problems, if he could use his hands, he wouldn't talk. Blood Sea Old Demon, Man Butcher, and some evil Cultivators, many were killed by the Master of Black Prison.
“Great Enforcer, it's not me bullying him; I've been bullied by him several times.” Shang Shu Tianye said helplessly.
“Clan Chief Shang Shu, chatting like this is pointless. If you want to shift the blame, you can't do it like this. If he's disobedient, will you still break off the engagement?” President Mei clung to Shang Shu Tianye.
“My daughter likes him and won't marry anyone else, so what can I do? I can only endure it! Being bullied by him is also true. I lost twice drinking, and in battles of equal Cultivation, I didn't gain any advantage. Alas!” Shang Shu Tianye sighed. He felt it was hard to regain his prestige in front of his son-in-law; his backer was too strong.
“Disrespecting your father-in-law is unacceptable; I will educate him! However, what you said isn't entirely right. He is a bit of a scoundrel, but he respects elders very much.” The Master of Black Prison said. He already knew about Qin Chu's situation and that Qin Chu was being targeted by a Seventh-tier Venerable Realm expert, so he planned to meet Qin Chu this time.
“There's no disrespect; this kid actually gets along very well with me. It's just that my daughter, whom I raised for over twenty years, was seduced away by him. My heart isn't at ease!” Shang Shu Tianye spoke his true feelings.
“Hmm, I can understand that!” Mei Tianling nodded.
Qin Chu Cultivated every day, his Cultivation getting closer and closer to the Peak of the Ninth-level Heavenly Origin Realm.
Qin Lingxi and Shang Shu Yu returned from Heavenly Sword Mountain, and the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan's stronghold became lively.
That day, Qin Chu was Cultivating his swordplay when Qing Yi brought a guest to the small courtyard. Looking at the guest, Qin Chu was stunned for a moment, then was about to perform a grand salute.
“You're becoming less and less promising as you get older. When you were little, you never gave in. Why are you bowing and scraping now?” The black-robed Master of Black Prison reached out and supported Qin Chu.
