# Chapter 1671: The Cang Clan
Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, taking the name of gazing at the heavens, possessed an imposing and magnificent aura. The gate of the ancient capital was shaped like an ancient demon beast, its massive mouth open, gazing up at the sky.
Lin Feng and the others stepped into the ancient capital, traveling through the air. As far as the eye could see, the prosperity of the vast ancient capital unfolded before them, as if it were composed of countless square architectural complexes.
The Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital housed many powerful forces. With a casual glance, one could see clusters of buildings that were extremely vast and grand, like imperial palaces in their prosperity and strength. This ancient capital was pieced together from countless imperial palaces of varying degrees of grandeur. As for ordinary people, they were destined to only be passersby in the ancient capital. Within this endless city, there was no corner belonging to them. Wasn't this a kind of stimulation for martial cultivators? To occupy a place in this ancient capital, one had to become strong. Otherwise, even if you could easily build a palace, if someone nearby found you obstructive, they could destroy it with a single glance. This was the naked law of the jungle—the more powerful the place, the more evident it became.
"Lin Feng, now that you've come to the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, is there any place you wish to go?" Langxie asked Lin Feng.
"There is one place, but it's not yet time to go. I'll take a look when I have the chance," Lin Feng replied casually. Besides tempering himself, another purpose for coming to the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital was to visit that place.
"Alright then. How about coming with me to visit an elder of the ancient capital? There, we can come into contact with the upper echelons of the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital's forces," Langxie said. As a king body of the Ancient Realm Clan, even he referred to this person as an elder, which clearly indicated that this individual held considerable power in the ancient capital. Otherwise, he wouldn't have caught the attention of a king body from the Ancient Realm Clan.
For people like Langxie, who came from prestigious ancient realm clans, the people they associated with either possessed terrifying power or had talent and strength that earned their recognition. Otherwise, these individuals who were single-mindedly devoted to martial arts wouldn't waste time on idle people.
"Alright," Lin Feng naturally wouldn't refuse. Since he had come to the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, being able to come into contact with forces at the level of the strong would allow him to see just how powerful the great clans of this ancient capital were.
Although Langxie was young, he had long traveled outside for quite some time, rather than staying within the Ancient Realm Clan. However, in the past, he had always concealed his identity as a member of the Ancient Realm Clan while moving about. Now, he was venturing out as the king body of the Ancient Realm Clan.
The Cang Clan had been passed down for a long time in the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, an ancient aristocratic family. Because some families had existed for such an immense span of time, many people were accustomed to calling them ancient clans. Or rather, some ancient clans could be called holy clans, meaning that a Saint Emperor level expert had once appeared in that clan. The Cang Clan was a holy clan among ancient clans—not only ancient but also powerful.
At this moment, the place where Langxie, Lin Feng, and the others had arrived was precisely the Cang Clan.
Cang, meaning the heavens. The Cang Clan's most adept power was the power of the heavens. After hearing Langxie's brief introduction to the Cang Clan, Lin Feng's heart trembled inwardly. A Saint Emperor family—this was definitely an incredibly terrifying force. Even powerful organizations like the Wuji Palace and the Flame Golden Tower would probably have to look up to them. Moreover, according to Langxie, the holy clans in the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital were by no means limited to just the Cang Clan. This showed how terrifying the main cities of the eighteen heavens of Qingxiao were.
"In the past Snow Domain competition, Imperial Mausoleum was called 'Heaven's Blood,' extremely domineering, clashing head-on with Duan Wuya. He specialized in the power of the heavens. Unfortunately, he didn't have a good birth—weak bloodline power, no one to nurture him. If he had been born in this Cang Clan, his growth would have been vastly different," Lin Feng thought to himself. A person's birth was still very important. Of course, that didn't mean that someone born well would definitely be stronger than someone born humble. It just meant that they would inevitably take far fewer detours. Just like himself—how difficult it had been to reach this point. But for these people from ancient clans, they carried the bloodline of Emperor-level experts flowing through their veins, making growth much easier.
However, Lin Feng didn't regret his own experiences. These trials were all the foundation stones on his path to becoming a strong one.
Outside the Cang Clan, Lin Feng and the other two were naturally stopped. The guards at the gate of the Cang Clan wore silver-white gloves and were clad in armor, appearing extremely imposing. Moreover, they were all very powerful—at the Venerable Lord level.
"In the small world, Venerable Lord level figures are already regional overlords. But in this Cang Clan, Venerable Lords are just gatekeepers," Lin Feng thought with a bitter smile. This kind of level disparity was truly speechless.
"Please inform Elder Cang Ling that Langxie has come to visit," Langxie said to the guards. This caused the guards' pupils to contract, their gazes sharp as they stared at Langxie and the other two. Cang Ling was the current family head of the Cang Clan, and this person dared to address him directly by name.
However, seeing that Langxie was imposing and dignified, and that Lin Feng and Qiu Yuexin also had extraordinary auras, these guards didn't dare to be contemptuous. This person was only at the peak of the Venerable Martial Realm, yet he dared to address the Cang Clan family head by name. If he wasn't seeking death, then he was likely a young descendant of a terrifying force—perhaps even a descendant of another ancient holy clan.
"Wait a moment." A guard carefully sized up Langxie and the others, then stepped into the clan. If these people were just ordinary folks, they would be dead.
Not long after that person entered the Cang Clan, a group of young men and women walked over in their direction. Seeing these young people, the guards' pupils contracted slightly, and they looked at Langxie and the others with deeper respect. It seemed they were indeed from a major force. The most outstanding generation of young disciples from the Cang Clan had come out to welcome them.
The young man walking at the very front wore a simple but clean and tidy robe. His facial features were soft yet firm, as if combining gentleness and strength. When he smiled, the gentle side of him showed through. This person was Cang Xiao, the strongest among the Cang Clan's younger generation below the Martial Emperor realm. The other young men and women were also core youths of the Cang Clan, but all were below the Martial Emperor realm, all at the same level as Langxie. This was clearly an intentional arrangement.
"I often hear the family head mention Brother Langxie. Meeting you today, I can see you are truly extraordinary." Cang Xiao spoke with a smile before he even arrived, his gentle face appearing approachable. Coming to Langxie's side, he said, "Brother Langxie has come from afar. Please, enter the clan quickly. The family head has already prepared a banquet and is waiting."
As he spoke, he casually glanced at Lin Feng and Qiu Yuexin, nodding with a smile. This simple gesture fulfilled the etiquette without deliberately asking anything. Since they had come with Langxie, they were honored guests.
"Cang Xiao." Langxie looked at Cang Xiao and spoke two words.
"I didn't expect Brother Langxie to recognize me." Cang Xiao and the others lifted their steps and walked into the Cang Clan. The guards sighed inwardly. It seemed they were indeed from a powerful force. Cang Xiao and the others came to welcome them, and the family head had prepared a banquet and was waiting. Such treatment would be no different even if an Emperor-level expert had arrived.
The Cang Clan was an ancient holy clan, and all its buildings were extremely grand. Ascending one hundred and eight steps, they reached an open area where a banquet had already been set up. Many people had gathered here. Lin Feng casually glanced around and saw that they were all Martial Emperor level experts. His heart trembled inwardly. Such a holy clan was too terrifying. Those below the Martial Emperor realm were already absolute weaklings.
"Nephew Langxie." Cang Ling, the current family head of the Cang Clan, stood at the front. Seeing Langxie and the others approach, he couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile, giving people a sense of peace. Lin Feng couldn't sense any aura from him at all, so naturally, he couldn't tell his cultivation level.
"It's been many days, Elder. Your demeanor surpasses the past." A smile also appeared on Langxie's face. He glanced at the two rows of neatly arranged welcoming banquet tables and couldn't help but laugh, "Elder, there's no need to be so polite."
"Come, nephew, it's only right that you come to the Cang Clan as a guest. Take your seat." Cang Ling said with a smile, pointing to a seat below the host's position, treating him with the courtesy of an honored guest.
Langxie nodded slightly and walked toward that seat. Lin Feng and the other were about to follow, but at that moment, Cang Xiao walked over and pointed to the two seats behind, saying, "Please follow me, both of you."
Lin Feng's steps halted. Langxie, who was ahead, turned back as if to say something, but Lin Feng smiled and said, "Alright."
Among this banquet, Martial Emperors were everywhere. He indeed didn't have the capital to sit in the upper seats. He didn't have Langxie's identity as a king body of the Ancient Realm Clan.
He nodded slightly at Langxie, and Langxie didn't say anything more, walking to his own seat. Cang Xiao guided Lin Feng to the seats at the very end, sitting together with the younger generation of the Cang Clan.
Above Lin Feng sat a beautiful young girl, and across from the girl sat Cang Xiao. It seemed that these two were the leaders of the younger generation.
"My name is Cang Yue. And you?" The young girl smiled at Lin Feng, her smile warm and sweet, appearing quite cultured.
"Lin Feng."
"Are you also from the Ancient Realm Clan?" Cang Yue asked with a smile.
Lin Feng shook his head slightly. "No."
"No?" Cang Yue showed a hint of surprise. "Then how did you come to be with Langxie?"
"We met on the road and happened to travel together," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"So, are you also from some ancient clan?" Cang Yue continued to ask with a smile. Lin Feng thought to himself that this arrangement of seats must have been intentional. Cang Yue was beautiful, and as a man, it was naturally more appropriate for Cang Yue to probe him.
"I am an ordinary person, not a descendant of any famous ancient clan," Lin Feng said with a smile. Then he picked up his wine glass and took a light sip. Seeing this, Cang Yue just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Meanwhile, at the other end, Cang Ling and Langxie were also conversing.
"Now, in the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, the Guanghan Palace has reappeared. It will likely stir up another wave of turmoil, and the first to bear the brunt will be you young people."
"Could it be that after disappearing for a thousand years, the Guanghan Palace still holds many lost ancient scriptures?" Langxie responded.
"Naturally. In ancient times, countless outstanding talents were captivated by the fairies of the Guanghan Palace. The palace collected numerous ancient texts and scriptures, some of which were extremely powerful—even terrifying ancient scriptures from extinct holy clans. Therefore, the Guanghan Palace's attraction for young people is even stronger. Many don't believe they will be captivated by the Guanghan Palace, but instead want to enter it, only to fall deeply into its trap."
Cang Ling said with a smile.
"That's because their minds aren't tough enough," Langxie said calmly, his tone filled with confidence.
"Haha, many people think that way, which is why they can't extricate themselves. Of course, you, Langxie, as a king body of the Ancient Realm Clan, are naturally a different case," Cang Ling laughed. This Guanghan Palace had indeed harmed many outstanding juniors. Of course, it was also a matter of mutual consent. However, the Guanghan Palace had once offended a force from an ancient holy clan because of this matter, disappearing for a thousand years. Now it had reappeared. As for how it had offended them, many speculated that the Guanghan Palace had obtained the ancient holy clan's hereditary scripture!
