Chapter 158 - A Mighty Enemy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fu Juncai kept struggling on the chariot and seriously warned Yunxiao that Supreme Palace was too mighty for them to offend. But in the end, he was forced to kneel before Yunxiao, covered in blood, his teeth broken, eyes swollen, and face so misshapen that even his parents would not be able to recognize him. Of course, his pride was completely gone by then.

“Well, you wouldn’t have suffered so much if you had listened to me. Now tell me everything I wish to know.” Yunxiao had a harmless look on his face, and anyone who saw at him now would think he was a fine young man.

Standing to the side, Bo Tiangong shivered. The scene was very similar to what he had experienced not so long ago.

Fu Juncai’s head was a little cloudy, and the people he saw were all swaying in his eyes. Subconsciously, he said, “Supreme Palace is located in Firecrow Empire. Our Palace Master, Ma Tianhe, is a three-stars Martial Grandmaster, and our deputy Palace Master, Ma Feibai, is Palace Master’s son, who not long ago just became a one-star Martial Grandmaster.”

A three-stars Martial Grandmaster!

Everyone sucked in a cold breath, and their faces grew grave. Even Yunxiao had a serious look on his face.

It was known that the further one got down the path of martial arts, the more difficult it would be to advance, and the greater the gap would be. The difference between a one-star Warrior and a three-stars Warrior was not much, but the gap between a one-star Martial Grandmaster and a three-stars Martial Grandmaster was so huge that they could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Yunxiao asked, “How many Martial Grandmasters and Martial Kings are there in your sect? And how many expects of other levels?”

Almost without thinking, Fu Juncai said, “We have only four Martial Grandmasters: the Palace Master, the deputy Palace Master, and two elders. We also have six Martial Kings, who are called the Supreme Six. There are thousands of people below these Martial Kings, about thirty of them are Martial Lords.”

Qian Duoduo said in a deep voice, “My lord, this Supreme Palace is already considered a fairly strong secluded sect. If it were a power in the secular world, few aristocratic families in Firecrow Empire could be stronger than it.”

He was reminding Yunxiao in a subtle way that they should not provoke Supreme Palace with Yanwu’s current strength. Otherwise, a Martial Grandmaster from them would be enough to wipe them all out.

Yunxiao paid him no heed and continued asking, “Is one of your elders named Qi Zhenzi? What is the cultivation base of the other? And how are the Supreme Six now?”

Fu Juncai froze for a moment, then said in surprise, “Elder Qi is a one-star Martial Grandmaster. The name of the other elder is Yi Baoxin, and he is a two-stars Martial Grandmaster. I haven’t seen the Supreme Six for a while. They seem to be cultivating in seclusion.”

‘Hmph! Cultivating in seclusion my ass. It will take them at least a year to recover.’ Yunxiao sneered in his heart. Suddenly he thought of something and asked, “Is there a man called Li Yi in Supreme Palace?”

A little taken aback, Fu Juncai said suspiciously, “How…How do you know him? I didn’t know there was such a disciple before. He seems to be the disciple Uncle-Master Yi Xiaoshan had taken in Baizhan. It was only recently that he began to appear frequently in the palace, and he earned the deputy Palace Master’s trust.”

Yunxiao smiled. “Sure enough, he’s still alive. It looks like I’ll see my old friend again this time.”

That shocked Chen Dasheng, and he asked cautiously, “Yunxiao, you don’t want to attack Supreme Palace, do you?”

Yunxiao laughed and said, “Of course not! It is like digging our own graves if we attack them now!”

Chen Dasheng breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He was really scared of this ignorant city lord. A Martial Grandmaster was a mighty existence who could not be have fun with. If any of the six dependent states of the Firecrow Empire was supported by a Martial Grandmaster, it could bypass the ranking battle and be directly promoted to an upper-state. It was conceivable how powerful a Martial Grandmaster was.

“But 9527 is an old friend of ours, and we can take the opportunity to visit him.” Yunxiao’s words immediately made Chen Dasheng feel dizzy. “Don’t be ridiculous!” he growled. “We are facing more than one Martial Grandmasters this time! I’ll tell your grandfather when we get back and ask him to stop you from messing around!”

“Stop me? I think he should be in a secluded meditation right now.”

After seeing everyone advance, Li Chunyang had taken two Nine Orifices pills from Yunxiao, and he must be meditating in seclusion right now. “Don’t worry, Uncle Chen, I have my boundaries! I’m just going to congratulate them.” Yunxiao glanced at the invitation in his hand and saw that the event was three days later.

“Let’s go back to the city now!”

Yunxiao put away the invitation as he sat down on the chariot and closed his eyes. It was plain that he did not want to listen to anybody. Chen Dasheng stamped his foot angrily. Even Qian Duoduo was shaking his head slightly as he thought to himself, ‘Although this City Lord is very mysterious, if he doesn’t know his limits, he will fall sooner or later regardless of how gifted he is.’

Ten minutes later, the chariots approached Yanwu. Suddenly, Yunxiao flicked open his eyes as he jumped up from his chair and peered through the clouds into the city. “Not good! Someone is causing trouble in the city! Full speed ahead!”

Chen Dasheng was stunned, then his nostrils flared. “Who dares to cause trouble in Yanwu! How unbridled!”

Yunxiao did not say anything, and his face was grave. The aura was unusually strong, so much so that even he was a little shocked. It must be the pressure caused by a Martial Grandmaster releasing all his aura!

It must be a Martial Grandmaster!

A Martial Grandmaster had come to Yanwu! Could the person come from the Xingyang family?

“Full speed ahead!” Yunxiao said in a deep voice, “Everyone be ready for battle and never leave the chariots! The opponent is very strong!”

He released his aura without holding back, which spread out from the Tigerking chariot like a gust of strong wind and shocked the people around him. The pressure was not mighty, but it gave them a very deep sense of intimidation. Even the warriors on the few nearby chariots sensed that, and they all looked frightened.

Fortunately, they knew Yunxiao’s true fighting strength, so they were slightly relieved.

All the chariots immediately increased their speed to the maximum, zooming through the sky like bolts of lightning. Very soon, they saw a tiny figure standing in mid-air not far away, emanating a tyrannical aura that spread wide and far and made everyone feel depressed and suffocated. All faces turned pale in terror instantly.

Suddenly and without any sign, the person threw out a fist shadow, which grew larger rapidly as it smashed down toward Yanwu.

Bam!

A terrible explosion rang out in the city, and a tremendous wave of energy spread out, radiating a blinding light like the sun. For a moment, no one could hear a sound or see a thing.

After that, a powerful blast wave blew out in all directions. Even the fleet of chariots, which was still several miles away, could feel the strong wind kicked up by the explosion.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Such a visual impact went straight into their hearts and horrified them. “What is that person’s cultivation base? Why is he so strong?”

Yunxiao’s face turned extremely unsightly in an instant, and his eyes burned with rage. Almost all his family and friends were in Yanwu, and they could not withstand the attack of a Martial Grandmaster. Although Xiao Qingwang and others were still cultivating in the Divine Realm Tablet, they could not sense what was happening outside. Even if they could, the casualties would be greater if they came out!

A cold voice rang out from the figure, spreading across thousands of miles and could be clearly heard by every person in the city. “If your city lord still does not come out, I will wash Yanwu with blood and kill all who live in it!”

This person wanted to slaughter the entire city!

In the center of the city, a huge, bottomless pit was blown out by the man’s fist, and those who stood there had completely vanished from the world. All the people in the city looked up in horror; the person’s mightiness had chilled them through. They had a feeling that the person had only needed to point out a finger, and the whole Yanwu would disappear!

Sensing the power, Qian Duoduo’s pupils constricted and he cried out in terror, “A Martial Grandmaster!”

He was a nine-stars Martial King, but when he felt the martial essence of the Six Directions realm emanating from the person, his heart immediately filled with shock.

“What! That person is a Martial Grandmaster! No wonder he can stand in mid-air!”

“Fu*k! Are we going to fight a Martial Grandmaster?”

“This is crazy! I thought Myriad Treasures Store also has Martial Grandmasters? Why are they not showing up at this moment?”

“Damnit! I don’t want to be cannon fodder! Let me go down!”

Qian Duoduo’s loud cry instantly chilled everyone from head to toe and turned their faces pale. For a moment, they were all fighting to get off the chariots.

Yunxiao’s eyes filled with a monstrous rage. He gave Qian Duoduo a hard look and said in a cold voice, “Anyone who undermines the morale of my men again will be killed! Anyone who leaves the chariot when we are going into battle will be killed! Anyone who does not obey my orders will be killed!”

As soon as he said that, a boundless killing intent began to condense in the air, which sent a chill through everyone’s soul and made them feel as if they were in an ice cellar!

Qian Duoduo was stunned when he saw Yunxiao’s furious eyes, and a sense of fear rose from the deepest part of his heart. It was the most instinctive fear. He felt a storm was raging in his head, and he could not believe that feeling in his heart. However, at his level, the instinct of a warrior could never be wrong.

The crowd was completely awestruck by Yunxiao’s warning. A bone-chilling cold spread across all the chariots while everyone shut their mouths and dared not to mention about running away again.

Suddenly, there was another figure that slowly flew out of the city. Judging from the body shape, it seemed to be a woman.

“Another Martial Grandmaster? Haha! She must be sent by Myriad Treasures Store! We are saved!” A warrior’s eyes lit up as he cried out cheerfully.

Bam!

Suddenly, his head burst, and the people around him all jumped back in horror. Yunxiao slowly brought back his fist, his eyes shot with blood as he said in an emotionless voice, “Anyone who utters nonsense will be killed!”

The crowd was shocked, and only now did they discover that the woman in the distance was grabbed by the Martial Grandmaster with Primordial Qi, and it seemed her neck was tightly squeezed as she struggled painfully in mid-air.

Yunxiao’s eyes were shot with blood. With his divine sense, he had long discovered that the woman was Meng Wu!
