Capítulo 1299: Chapter 1288: The Clan Leader’s Crown
“How should I get in?” Ning Fan stared ahead, this barrier blocked his path.
“It seems the only option is to forcefully break through this barrier!” Ning Fan coldly said as he looked at the sturdy barrier.
Even though breaking the barrier might alert the Celestial Clan, Ning Fan couldn’t care less. No matter who it was, no one could stop him from taking Xu Xiaoqing.
Ning Fan raised his hand, True Qi gathered in his palm. Just as his hand was about to strike the barrier, several figures quickly emerged from within.
“Who are you!”
“What do you want!”
…
All of them cautiously watched Ning Fan, sensing a dangerous aura from him, making them hesitant to act rashly.
“Who are you?” Ning Fan raised his head, asking the group.
“We are the Celestial Clan’s Guarding Squad! What are you trying to do here!” The leader coldly stared at Ning Fan. “Leave now, and we can overlook this! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
Ning Fan felt a rush of excitement upon hearing the guard’s claim, confirming this place was indeed the Celestial Clan’s domain!
“I am looking for you, Celestial Clan.” Ning Fan looked at the group and said, “Fetch your Elder, you all are not qualified to speak with me.”
The leading young man was infuriated upon hearing Ning Fan’s words, feeling insulted that he, a distinguished fighter among the young generation of the Celestial Clan, was deemed unqualified.
“Who do you think you are, daring to say I am not qualified!” the leader rebuked Ning Fan coldly, “Get lost! Or else don’t blame me for being rude!”
“I don’t have time to waste with you here. If you won’t bring your Elder, I’ll go find them myself!” Ning Fan said to the Celestial Clan members.
“You think you’re worthy to see our Elders?” a small-framed Celestial Clan member scoffed towards Ning Fan, “How contemptible!”
Ning Fan narrowed his eyes, suddenly reaching out towards the small-framed member, who instantly flew towards him.
Ning Fan grabbed the little one’s neck, and said calmly, “I’ve spoken enough with you, given you face. Don’t disrespect it!”
“You… What are you doing! Let go of me…” The small member’s face flushed red, struggling to breathe.
“Let him go!” the leading Celestial member shouted angrily at Ning Fan, shocked.
“I warn you, my patience is limited. Waste more words, and I’ll kill you all!” Ning Fan’s voice turned frostly, the surrounding temperature seemingly dropping.
After speaking, Ning Fan casually tossed the little one aside onto the grass.
“Cough cough cough…” The small one coughed non-stop, feeling death was so close. If Ning Fan had applied a bit more force, his neck would have snapped!
“Wuu…”
Just as Ning Fan intended to question the group further, a deep horn sounded suddenly from within the barrier.
Upon hearing the deep horn, the Celestial Clan members turned their heads towards the barrier.
“The Clan Leader’s Coronation Ceremony is about to start!” The young leader said excitedly.
Upon hearing the leader’s words, Ning Fan was instantly alarmed, muttering, “No way! Can’t waste any more time!”
As Ning Fan moved, his body transformed into a Flowing Light, rushing towards the barrier.
Upon colliding with the barrier, the sturdy barrier burst open, as Ning Fan dove through, flying in the direction of the horn’s sound.
“Boss, that person flew away!” a chubby member timidly pointed at Ning Fan’s departing figure.
“What?!” The young leader finally reacted, gazing at Ning Fan. As he saw Ning Fan flying, he widened his eyes in shock, “Aerial Mastery flying! Could that person be an Aerial Mastery Realm?!”
“The only ones who can fly in Aerial Mastery are those in the Aerial Mastery Realm!” The chubby one swallowed hard, speaking with dryness.
Though they had seen Aerial Mastery fliers within their clan, the Elders being powerhouses of the Aerial Mastery Realm!
Yet they were astounded nevertheless.
“That kid looks barely over twenty years old!” The young leader said incredulously, “Being so young and already reaching Aerial Mastery?! Am I dreaming!”
…
At the Celestial Clan’s core, all members gathered around a tall stone platform, gazing up.
“The new Clan Leader is truly beautiful!” The young Celestial members admired Xu Xiaoqing atop the stone platform.
At first glance, they were captivated by the delicate and adorable Xu Xiaoqing. Yet she was the Clan Leader’s successor, ensuring they could not be with her!
Surrounding the stone platform stood four robed elders, the Celestial Clan’s four Great Elders!
Standing east of the stone platform, the Second Elder gazed upward, asking, “Did you ensure that little girl was persuaded, old five?”
“Second Brother, rest assured. Once she dons the Clan Leader’s crown, she can never leave the Celestial Clan.” The Third Elder beside him chuckled, “Her lack of sentiment towards us is insignificant. Spending time in the Celestial Clan will cultivate feelings.”
“You’re right.” The Second Elder nodded, his concerns eased.
Atop the tall stone platform, Xu Xiaoqing stood in the center. In front of her was an elderly man with white hair and a solemn face.
This white-haired elder was the Great Elder, Tian Xuan of the Celestial Clan!
Tian Xuan held a golden crown in his hand, the highest symbol of power within the Celestial Clan, the Clan Leader’s crown!
Throughout history, before dying, each Clan Leader injects their True Qi essence into it and stores their understanding of martial techniques within the crown.
When the new Clan Leader dons the crown, they absorb the True Qi essence and the memories of the previous Clan Leader, greatly enhancing their power!
