The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 290: Huang Chunqiu’s Thoughts

“Sect Leader Meng.”

Zhou Donghuang turned towards Meng Yuping, who was staring at Luo Qinghan with a darkened expression, and said with a faint smile, “From the very beginning, the reason why I joined the Lightning Sword Sect and not the Jihan Sect together with Qinghan was because the Autumn Valley Head my benefactor.

“Just like my initial decision... Today, I will still choose to continue staying in the Lightning Sword Sect.”

Although Zhou Donghuang’s voice was calm, his determined tone gave off a reassuring feel, as if one could not help but believe his words.

Upon hearing his words, Meng Yuping’s expression finally lightened up.

She had already been wondering: If Zhou Donghuang had such a relationship with Luo Qinghan, why did he not join the Jihan Sect with her?

While it was known that the Jihan Sect had more female disciples, they accepted male disciples too.

After hearing from Zhou Donghuang, Meng Yuping finally understood the reason.

“Haha...”

The Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng, who had been waiting for Zhou Donghuang to announce his decision, could not help but laugh heartily after hearing his words. He gazed excitedly at Zhou Donghuang and said, “Zhou Donghuang, don’t worry. Since you chose to stay in our Lightning Sword Sect, the Lightning Sword Sect will definitely not let you down!”

The Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng, knew very clearly that even if Zhou Donghuang were to leave and join another sect, the Lightning Sword Sect would be powerless to stop him. They would be unable to do anything and could do nothing to change his mind.

Now, upon hearing that Zhou Donghuang had chosen to stay in the Lightning Sword Sect, he was unable to suppress his excitement.

“Thank you, Sect Leader.”

Even though Zhou Donghuang had never thought of leaving the Lightning Sword Sect for any other sects in the Hengliu galaxy, he was still grateful that the other sects tried to poach him from the Lightning Sword Sect. This had made him appear even more precious and valuable and made the Lightning Sword Sect Leader make such a promise to him.

He could almost foresee that in the future if he required any help, the Lightning Sword Sect Leader would definitely do his utmost to help him achieve his needs.

In fact, this was also Zhou Donghuang’s aim.

If not, he could easily accumulate 40000 points’ worth of beast heads to easily clinch the first place of the Alliance Hunt. By presenting the 40000 points’ worth of beast heads, his aim was to announce to everyone that he, Zhou Donghuang, was this outstanding. Throughout contemporary Hengliu galaxy and even in its history, nobody could surpass him!

By showing everyone his value, only then he could receive more in return.

Not only in the world of martial arts that they lived in, but it was also the same in the world of ordinary people on Earth... anyone who was skilled would often be poached by head-hunting companies and go join another rival company with a higher salary.

At this point, his situation was similar to that.

At the same time, the sects that tried to recruit Zhou Donghuang could only temporarily give up on that idea after seeing Zhou Donghuang express his stand. One by one, they began to look towards Yu Yucheng. They congratulated him as the Sect Leader and the whole Lightning Sword Sect for having a disciple as extraordinary as Zhou Donghuang.

In their hearts, they had already started thinking of ways to see if they could secretly recruit Zhou Donghuang to join their sects.

To them, as long as human nature existed, so would human desire.

As Zhou Donghuang accumulated a total of 40000 points in the Alliance Hunt, although many other remarkable disciples went after him to present their haul, all of them were overshadowed by him...

Not only did they pale in comparison to Zhou Donghuang’s accumulated points, but they were also overshadowed by He Mengxi’s points as well.

“This Alliance Hunt has become the Lightning Sword Sect’s one-man show,” the people of the various sects whispered to one another in a bitter tone.

Even so, they were unable to do anything. What else could they do but bemoan the luck of the Lightning Sword Sect in getting a disciple as outstanding as Zhou Donghuang?

In the process, the talented disciples of the various sects who initially wanted to compete with Zhou Donghuang completely gave up on the idea. This included the Thunder Knife Sect’s disciple, Han Yuzheng, who wanted to seek revenge, and some other Alliance disciples who were unhappy when others said that Zhou Donghuang was stronger than them.

The difference was just too significant.

It was so out of reach that they felt hopeless.

Throughout the long history of the Hengliu galaxy, there had never been someone like Zhou Donghuang. They did not think they could surpass the countless brilliant young men recorded in the history of the Hengliu galaxy.

When the accumulated points of all the disciples had been tallied, it also meant that the Alliance Hunt had officially ended.

“I only have a portion of the reward for the Alliance Hunt... the rest of the reward is in the hands of the two other Deputy Alliance Leaders.”

He Qingshan, the Deputy Alliance Leader, and the Distinguished Elder of the Guiyuan Sect, tabulated the scores on the ranking board, then announced to all the disciples of the different sects present. Throughout the entire process, his eyes were gleaming brightly as his gaze landed on Zhou Donghuang.

Zhou Donghuang was the well-deserved champion of this Alliance Hunt.

As for the second position, it was clinched by another disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect, He Mengxi, who also accumulated more than 10000 points.

After the Alliance Hunt ended, the different sects of the Alliance waited for two days. Finally, the two Deputy Alliance Leaders, who had accompanied Tiansong Sect Leader Huang Chunqiu to the Guiyao planet, arrived. These two old men were all at the mid Divine Transformation stage.

Huang Chunqiu and the rest came out with them.

“Didn’t find anything?” When those of the other sects saw the same people who had entered the Guiyao planet return without any new additions, they had already guessed.

“We searched the entire Guiyao planet, but could not find anyone.”

One of the two Deputy Alliance Leaders who had returned shook his head as he saw He Qingshan look towards him.

“Is the ranking ready?”

Another Deputy Alliance Leader asked He Qingshan.

“It is ready.”

He Qingshan nodded and passed the piece of paper to the two of them.

Upon receiving the paper, both of them looked down in unison. They wanted to know who emerged as the champion, how many points they received, and whether the record of 10000 points, which no one had been able to break in the past few hundred years, had been broken.

“Zhou Donghuang?”

Both of them saw Zhou Donghuang’s name on the first line, behind the words “first place.”

They had heard of Zhou Donghuang and knew that he was the rising star of the Lightning Sword Sect in the last two years.

It was just that they had not expected Zhou Donghuang to emerge as the champion of the Alliance Hunt. At that moment, they only had one thought: Zhou Donghuang’s luck is pretty good.

However, when they saw the accumulated points behind his name, they were shocked.

Oh god!

Did they see wrong?

Forty thousand?

More than 40000 points?

Instantly, both of them looked up at He Qingshan and asked in unison, “There is something wrong with Zhou Donghuang’s accumulated points, right?”

“There’s no mistake. It was indeed over 40000 points.”

With regards to their reaction, He Qingshan was not surprised. “Zhou Donghuang produced more than 300 late Dharma beast heads, and another close to 400 ultimate Dharma beast heads... I checked again, and they were all beasts of the Guiyao planet killed within the last three months. There is nothing wrong.”

As if he knew what the two of them were about to ask next, He Qingshan answered all their unasked questions.

“More than 300 late Dharma beasts? Almost 400 ultimate Dharma beasts?”

In that instant, not just the two Deputy Alliance Leaders, but even the high ranking elders of the Tiansong Sect led by the leader of the Tiansong Sect, Huang Chunqiu, were all so shocked that their eyes narrowed. They turned to look at the Tiansong Sect disciples standing behind them.

“Sect Leader, Zhou Donghuang has indeed taken out that many beast heads and accumulated over 40000 points.”

Another Tiansong Sect disciple who was standing close by said with a bitter smile, “In addition, he has also mastered the technique of Dharma Power Control, a technique that no one in the history of the Hengliu galaxy was able to master.”

Upon hearing his words, Huang Chunqiu’s pupils immediately dilated as he had already suspected as much. “This Zhou Donghuang has also mastered the technique of Dharma Power Control?”

His disciple, Mo Yitian, had died at the hands of someone who mastered the technique of Dharma Power Control.

That mysterious person, besides wearing a mask, and having a different Dharma Power from Zhou Donghuang, was remarkably similar to him in all aspects... this was what Huang Chunqiu had found out from the two Tiansong disciples who had been present.

“The two of you...”

With a flash of his body, Huang Chunqiu now appeared in front of the two disciples and glared at them, asking them seriously, “Are you certain... that man, when he produced his Dharma Power, it was in the form of a bird and not a tiger?

“You must know that... someone who has mastered the technique of Dharma Power Control can easily control their Dharma Power to transform into any shape a moment after the Dharma Power presents itself.

“Are you sure... that the Bird Dharma Power did not transform from a Tiger Dharma Power?”

Dharma adepts who had mastered Dharma Power Control would be able to transform the shape and figure of their Dharma Power at will, but at the moment that the Dharma Power appeared, it would appear in its original form.

It would not possibly appear in the shape or figure of another Dharma Power.

Hence, Huang Chunqiu had asked the two Tiansong disciples this question.

“Sect Leader, I saw it bright and clear. When the Dharma Power first appeared, it was indeed a Bird Dharma Power, and it seemed to be a part of the person’s body. It was definitely the original form of the Dharma Power,” confirmed one of the Tiansong disciples.

“Sect Leader, I can also confirm that that person produced a Bird Dharma Power, not a Tiger Dharma Power... I am sure that person is not Zhou Donghuang!”

Without hesitation, the other Tiansong Sect disciple continued with an affirming tone, “His build and clothes were indeed similar to Zhou Donghuang... but, I can confirm his white shirt and Zhou Donghuang’s white shirt have different details.”

“At first, seeing his similarities with Zhou Donghuang, I had looked at him closer.”

After listening to the two Tiansong Sect disciples, Huang Chunqiu could not help but frown...

How was such coincidence possible?

Both had similar builds and liked wearing white shirts; both were at the late Dharma stage and had mastered the technique of Dharma Power Control... but they were not the same person?

One had Tiger Dharma Power, while the other one had Bird Dharma Power.
