Chapter 91

After a long silence, Hong Yan'er looked at Huang Yu and said coldly, "I will definitely defeat you. I will suppress my cultivation to the same level as yours, and I will definitely defeat you."

After saying that, Hong Yan'er turned and left.

Huang Yu: "..."

"Haha, young brother, it seems my granddaughter has taken a liking to you." Hearing his granddaughter's words, Hong Tianchou burst into laughter, feeling very pleased. Although his granddaughter hadn't fully figured things out, at least she wasn't stuck in a dead end anymore and wasn't as arrogant as before.

For a martial artist, being arrogant and not knowing one's limits is a major taboo.

Confidence is fine, and a bit of pride is acceptable, but one must never be overly arrogant.

Being overly arrogant is simply courting death.

The True Martial Continent is filled with geniuses. Who could know how terrifying those hidden geniuses are?

And the young man in front of him might be one of them.

An unparalleled genius, a true monster, a genius who can fight beyond his rank with the cultivation of the Human Infant Realm, capable of battling against the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and even the early stage of the Thunder Tribulation Realm.

How powerful, how monstrous.

This young man, what is his background? The person who could cultivate such a genius must have a terrifying background. Could it be that this young man is from that place?

"What is the young brother's name?" Hong Tianchou looked at Huang Yu and said, "I am Hong Tianchou, the peak master of Flame Peak of the Return to Origin Sect, and also the grandfather of that girl."

"Senior is from the Return to Origin Sect? And the peak master of Flame Peak?" Huang Yu knew something about the Return to Origin Sect. The Return to Origin Sect actually includes two major factions: the Return to Origin Sect and the Open Origin Sect.

Currently, the Return to Origin Sect is the dominant faction. The two factions hold a grand competition every hundred years to decide which faction will hold the power.

A hundred years ago, Hong Tianchou won the grand competition, allowing the Return to Origin Sect to take control.

Now, the hundred-year period is almost over.

Originally, Hong Yan'er had a chance to participate, but her cultivation is still too weak. Among the second-generation disciples, the strongest has already reached the peak of the Thunder Tribulation Realm.

At the peak of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, it is absolutely not something Hong Yan'er can handle. Even with her special constitution and the protection of a magical artifact, she is still far from being a match. Unless she can reach the middle stage of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, she might have a chance.

However, Hong Tianchou was not concerned. For him, it was enough to cultivate his granddaughter well. Of course, as long as no one provoked Flame Peak, he wouldn't care. If the Return to Origin Sect handed over the power to the Open Origin Sect, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Competition brings pressure, and pressure brings progress.

This is the fundamental reason why the Return to Origin Sect has remained prosperous for so long.

Huang Yu, however, was unaware that the Return to Origin Sect and the Open Origin Sect were actually the same major sect, just two internal factions.

Of course, over the past hundred years, the Return to Origin Sect has held the power, so the entire sect is called the Return to Origin Sect. If the Open Origin Sect were to take control, the Return to Origin Sect would be called the Open Origin Sect.

When Huang Yu learned that this old man was actually the peak master of Flame Peak of the Return to Origin Sect, he was extremely surprised. The peak master of a mountain peak was already so powerful. What about the sect leader of the Return to Origin Sect?

In fact, Huang Yu wanted to avoid it. Although the Return to Origin Sect was powerful, in reality, there was only one true Life and Death Realm expert, and that was Hong Tianchou.

However, there were several experts at the peak of the Thunder Tribulation Realm.

"That's right, I am. What sect or school does the young brother belong to?" Hong Tianchou looked at Huang Yu with increasing fondness. It was a pity that he likely already had a master, and he had a lightning attribute constitution. Otherwise, he would have tried to recruit him to Flame Peak for cultivation. In time, he could replace his position and make Flame Peak even more prosperous.

"I have no sect or school, and no master. I am going to the Return to Origin Sect to learn martial arts." Huang Yu did not hide it and directly told the truth, expressing his intentions.

"No sect or school?" Hong Tianchou's eyes widened. Without a sect or master, he had cultivated to such a level. This... such talent is too terrifying. A monster, absolutely a monster among monsters. With such insight, his achievements will definitely surpass mine. If he doesn't fall unexpectedly, if this is true, I must recruit him into my sect and make him a disciple of Flame Peak. "Young brother, are you telling the truth?"

Huang Yu nodded, "Yes, senior."

"Then... where did your cultivation come from?" Hong Tianchou, of course, wouldn't believe it easily, though he hoped it was true, he couldn't be careless.

"Senior, it is a cultivation method passed down in my family."

"Passed down in your family? What is your name? Who is your ancestor, the great expert?" This was what Hong Tianchou was concerned about. If there was a lineage, it wouldn't be surprising.

Huang Yu's face turned black. An ancestor, a great expert? Sweat. Does it have to be a great expert in the family to make sense?

"Senior, you misunderstood. My surname is Huang, and my name is Huang Yu. As far as I know, none of my ancestors were great experts." Huang Yu shook his head and said.

"Huang, a great expert?" Hong Tianchou frowned slightly, thinking. There were indeed a few great experts with the surname Huang on the True Martial Continent, from a family.

The Eastern Continent Huang Family.

It is a hidden family with an ancient lineage. When they appear, they cause a sensation. Once, someone from this family came to the Central Yuan Kingdom, causing a storm. Could this young man be the descendant of that great expert?

"Have you heard of the Golden Ancient Pupil Technique?"

"Golden Ancient Pupil Technique?" Huang Yu's eyes widened. This old man actually knew about the Golden Ancient Pupil Technique, and guessed it from his name? Could it be... could it be that there really was a great expert in my family?

"How did you know, senior?" Huang Yu blurted out, then realized he had been rash. If this old man had ill intentions, wouldn't it be disastrous? But then he thought, it doesn't matter. The Golden Ancient Pupil Technique requires bloodline power to cultivate. If you're not from the Huang family, you can't cultivate it.

When Hong Tianchou heard Huang Yu's words, he showed a hint of surprise, then smiled.

"Brother, my apologies. It turns out you are the descendant of that great expert. Impressive, no wonder you have such achievements at such a young age."

"Senior, you're confusing me. Do you know my ancestor?" Huang Yu looked at Hong Tianchou. It seemed his ancestor was not simple, to be so valued by a Life and Death Realm expert, even with a hint of reverence.

"Can't say, can't say. Since your elders didn't tell you, I shouldn't say either." Hong Tianchou shook his head.

Huang Yu detested Hong Tianchou's words. What can't be said? It's just an excuse. What would happen if he said it? Would he get beaten? Huang Yu remembered a famous internet quote: "Say it, you won't get pregnant."

But there was nothing he could do. From the look of it, even if he begged, he wouldn't say. And they weren't that close. Begging and pleading? His granddaughter might do that, but what about him? Helpless, very helpless. Huang Yu had asked Lulu about this before, but she wouldn't tell him either.

"Senior?"

"Don't call me senior, just call me Old Hong." Hong Tianchou, having confirmed that the young man was the descendant of that person, and with such strength, it wasn't surprising. Moreover, if he really had no sect, he must recruit this young man into the sect, make him join Flame Peak, and become his disciple.

This way, it would add a genius to his sect, ensuring the prosperity of Flame Peak, and also allow him to build a relationship with that person.

If that person could give him some guidance, it would be immensely beneficial.

In any case, befriending Huang Yu would be advantageous.

So, Hong Tianchou looked at Huang Yu with a very enthusiastic gaze.

"Old... Old Hong."

"Right, Xiao Yu, can I call you that?" Hong Tianchou was very satisfied, his face beaming with a kind and gentle smile.

Huang Yu rolled his eyes. He had already called him, so how could he disagree? And with such high cultivation, he was just a Human Infant Realm. Could he dare to refuse?

"Senior, as you wish."

"Xiao Yu, you're planning to go to the Return to Origin Sect to learn martial arts, right?" Hong Tianchou said.

Huang Yu nodded. It was the truth. He was indeed going to the Return to Origin Sect to learn martial arts, so there was no need to hide it.

"I am the Grand Elder of the Return to Origin Sect and the peak master of Flame Peak. My cultivation is at the fifth stage of the Life and Death Realm, the highest in the entire Return to Origin Sect." Hong Tianchou said, watching Huang Yu's reaction. However, to his disappointment, Huang Yu seemed to know it already. His face showed no surprise or joy, as if it was a common thing, which made Hong Tianchou feel deflated, but also secretly impressed. No wonder he is the descendant of that person; only his descendant could have such an aura.

"Aren't you surprised?" Hong Tianchou couldn't help but ask, looking at Huang Yu.

"Why should I be surprised? Senior's strength is evident, making Huang Yu feel like an ordinary person. But I know that this is a sign of returning to simplicity. Few people can achieve this, so I guessed that senior must be a Life and Death Realm expert." Huang Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I guessed right."

Hong Tianchou was speechless. This guy's words were too exaggerated. How could a Human Infant Realm martial artist, even with combat power comparable to the Primordial Spirit Realm, see through the aura of a Yin-Yang Realm or higher martial artist? Moreover, many people have learned techniques to conceal their aura. For someone of a lower realm, it's not difficult to hide their aura completely.
