But, he had already learned about Cheng Xiao Xiao breaking through to martial king previously. Now that she had broken through again, and to the level of martial emperor at that. Judging by the speed of her advancement, she was even scarier than his talented ‘son’!
More importantly, how did she become a martial emperor from martial king in one short month? That was almost impossible so he questioning the accuracy of that news.
The other report, Cheng Yutang could see it clearly. He read it over and over again and finally shook his head. If the news of his “granddaughter” becoming martial emperor was doubtful, then this one was even more so!
One word — Ludicrous!
With the exception of those from Temple of Divine Plans, nobody was able to breakthrough from martial emperor to martial monarch. The piece of news in front of him, however, stated that two guests of Sacred Land Zhongyuan cultivated behind closed doors a few days again and had broken through from martial emperor to martial monarch. It was very difficult for him to believe.
Rumors had it that there was a martial monarch at Sacred Land Zhongyuan. He laughed it off after he had heard it and never gave it another thought. As far as he was concerned, that was simply impossible.
Rumors had that a few of the old monsters on the continent congregated over at Sacred Land Zhongyuan over the issues of breaking through to martial monarch. He also refused to believe that and insisted they were there over other matters.
And now, the news about martial monarch came again. His first reaction was that that was impossible. Yet, as the housemaster, he also knew that those working for him wouldn’t just report back with their speculations. They must have been based on some sort of evidences or signs. Otherwise, those who presented fake news to him would be punished severely. Nobody would want to do that.
As he heard the news over and over again, as much as he found it difficult to believe, his confident began to rattle. Could it really be possible that Sacred Land Zhongyuan could help others break through the level of apex martial emperor and become martial monarch?
That possibility made his face changed colors.
“What was going on…” came a familiar voice.
Cheng Yutang immediately turned to a look of respect. First Elder has arrived.
“First Elder, I was just reading the reports presented to me and thinking about the plausibility of what was written in them,” said Cheng Yutang as he stood up immediately, not daring to appear disrespectful.
First Elder casted him a glance, walked over to his spot, and started reading the reports that were splayed on his desk.
Cheng Yutang dared not to interrupt him. He merely stood to one side and waited. At the same time, he noticed that First Elder looked gloomier and gloomier, and finally his face was completely dark.
He hasn’t seen that look on First Elder for a long, long time. At this moment, Cheng Yutang’s heart began to pound. He didn’t want to be on the receiving end of First Elder taking anger.
BAM!
First Elder, looking enraged, smashed the table into pieces, including the items that were sitting on top of it.
Cheng Yutang seemed to already be used to it. He didn’t show any signs of surprise. Looking just like he did earlier, with his head bowed, he made himself seemed as humble as possible.
“HRM!”
First Elder let out a loud hrumph. A strong qi exuded from his body and, immediately, Cheng Yutang felt a fierce aura coming straight at him. He was very alarmed.
A martial emperor was, indeed, very powerful!
Trying hard to control his blood roiling inside of his body, Cheng Yutang dared not show any signs of abnormality. His bow deepened reflexively as if a he was a servant in front of his master. No signs of the authoritativeness of being a housemaster could be seen on him right now.
First Elder was very happy with the way Cheng Yutang looked right now. He slowly retrieved his qi and asked coldly, “Are the news true?”
