Chapter 244: Chapter 231: Mi Tian Sect’s Treasure Vault
"King Yun?"
Feng Xiao and Yangg Yan stared at each other, confused.
Nie Yun had been named King Yun after his great battle against Fengg Yu, Mo Yanqing, and another expert in the Imperial Capital. That was precisely when Feng Xiao and Yangg Yan were captured, so they had no idea that the young man before them had already made a name for himself that shocked the entire Divine Wind Empire.
"Acting wild? I believe that’s my line!"
’It seems they still don’t know I killed Venerable Mi Hong,’ Nie Yun thought with a helpless shake of his head. He withdrew the hands he had placed on Feng Xiao and Yangg Yan’s backs.
His Healing Qi was a special talent. Although it had only been a short time, their internal injuries were already completely healed.
"Insolent! Do you know where you are? This is the Mi Tian Sect! Never mind a minor King Yun like you—not even His Majesty the Emperor would dare to act so presumptuously here!"
"Don’t think you’re so great just because you defeated Fengg Yu and the others. To tell you the truth, Ultimate Venerables like them are nothing in the eyes of our Mi Tian Sect!"
"There’s no need to waste words on him. He’s just some ignorant brat who got lucky and stumbled his way into the Ultimate Venerable Realm. Let’s just kill him!"
"Get on your knees and admit your mistake right now! Then, hand over tens of millions of taels of silver as compensation, and we can let today’s matter slide. Otherwise... heheh!"
The three Ultimate Venerables sneered, releasing their auras in an instant.
They had estimated Nie Yun’s strength based on his last battle in Divine Wind City. While he wasn’t weak, they didn’t think he was anything special, so they naturally looked down on him.
Three Ultimate Venerable powerhouses, each comparable to Fengg Yu, released their auras simultaneously. A heavy pressure, like a collapsing mountain, surged down from all directions. Yangg Yan, Feng Xiao, and the old man all felt their knees go weak, on the verge of collapsing.
’How terrifying... It’s over...’
Feeling the oppressive aura, the old man felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest. His face was a mask of despair as he trembled uncontrollably.
’The Mi Tian Sect is extremely harsh with those who try to escape. Even though I wasn’t planning on it, being locked up with these two young men will surely implicate me. I could very well lose my life!’
’The only reason I’ve survived being imprisoned here for thirty-seven years isn’t because I’m tough, but because I never plotted with others to escape or got on the Mi Tian Sect’s bad side. Why am I so unlucky today!’
In his eyes, no matter how strong Nie Yun was, his age was a clear limiting factor. There was no way he could be a match for the three Ultimate Venerables and one Demon Beast before them!
"Kneel? Hand over tens of millions of taels of silver? Are you dreaming?"
Nie Yun hadn’t expected these Ultimate Venerables from the Mi Tian Sect to be even more clueless than Venerable Mi Hong. He was utterly speechless.
"You won’t? Hmph, then die!"
The middle-aged man who had spoken first let out a long cry and suddenly attacked.
The True Qi of an Ultimate Venerable Peak surged from his fist. The entire prison instantly darkened as if covered by storm clouds, and the ground itself began to roar.
"Earth King Dominator Fist? I never thought Senior Brother Jun Xing had cultivated this Royal Family’s Top-Grade Martial Art to such a level. It’s truly amazing!"
"Of course! Three months ago, Fengg Yu foolishly challenged Senior Brother Jun Xing and was sent flying with a single punch. This move can make the very earth resonate. It strikes with the might of a king and a tyrant, leaving opponents defenseless. It’s definitely one of the top techniques among all the Royal Family Martial Arts!"
"For Senior Brother to use this move right from the start... it looks like he wants to kill this brat instantly!"
Seeing the middle-aged man’s technique, the eyes of the other two Ultimate Venerable powerhouses lit up. They seemed to expect to see the young man die right before their eyes, unable to resist.
"Earth King Dominator Fist? What a joke!"
Before they had even finished speaking, a disdainful voice rang out from within the storm clouds. The darkness inside the prison immediately dissipated, and with a THUD, their supposedly invincible Senior Brother Jun Xing was on all fours, plastered to the ground like a turtle.
The Earth King Dominator Fist had indeed turned him into a turtle on the ground.
"Huh?"
"Th-This... How is this possible?"
When Jun Xing had unleashed the Earth King Dominator Fist, Feng Xiao, Yangg Yan, and the old man had all instinctively closed their eyes. They didn’t expect to open them and see such a scene. All their mouths hung open, unable to close.
’A mighty Ultimate Venerable Peak powerhouse used a Royal Family’s Top-Grade Martial Art, yet not only did he fail to injure Nie Yun, he got slapped to the ground like a turtle... Wh-What in the world is going on? We’re not seeing things, are we?!’
"This... friend of yours, is he really just a new Ultimate Venerable, not some old monster who’s lived for many years?"
Forcibly suppressing his shivers, the old man looked at Feng Xiao and Yangg Yan again.
"Old monster? Nie Yun isn’t even seventeen years old this year. How could he be an old monster?" Yangg Yan said, rolling his eyes.
"Not even seventeen? And he flattened a supreme expert like Jun Xing with a single slap?" The old man was about to go crazy.
Yangg Yan and Feng Xiao didn’t know who Jun Xing was, but the old man, having been imprisoned for thirty-seven years, certainly knew how terrifying he was. This Jun Xing was a "senior brother" to the Mi Tian Sect Master, had entered the Ultimate Venerable Realm over seventy years ago, and possessed a pair of unstoppable Iron Fists. He was definitely ranked in the top three of the Divine Wind Empire, yet he had been swatted away by the boy like a housefly... ’Oh, heavens! Oh, earth! Just strike me dead with a sword already...’
"Y-You... Everyone, attack together!"
Seeing their Senior Brother Jun Xing defeated in a single move, the remaining two men and one beast took a step back, let out a long roar, and charged forward together.
The two men and one beast attacked simultaneously. Their True Qi instantly formed a giant bubble in the air that rolled toward Nie Yun. Everywhere it passed, rubble churned and steel melted. It was like a steamroller, crushing everything in its path.
"A petty trick!"
With a faint smile, Nie Yun drew his Profound Jade Sword and slashed forward!
Although their combined attack was more powerful than Jun Xing’s Earth King Dominator Fist, it couldn’t compare to an attack from Venerable Mi Hong. Nie Yun only used his Great Strength Dantian—not even tapping into his Dark Force—and with a BOOM, he shattered the bubble. The aftershock of the Sword Qi slammed into the two men and one beast. After a series of CRACKS, the trio lay sprawled on the ground like dead dogs.
"The Mi Tian Sect has dominated the Divine Wind Empire for many years. They must have a lot of good stuff. We might as well take it all!"
Having severely injured the three Ultimate Venerables and the Demon Beast, Nie Yun didn’t even spare them a glance. With another flick of his longsword, he thrust straight ahead.
BOOM!
This time, he used both his Great Strength Dantian and his Dark Force. Countless walls instantly collapsed into dust, revealing a grand hall filled with treasures.
Now that his cultivation had reached the Ultimate Venerable Realm, his use of the Tracking Qi had become even more masterful. With a casual sweep, Nie Yun had located the hall where the Mi Tian Sect kept its treasures. That was why his sword strike only broke through the walls without harming a single thing inside the hall.
If it had been anyone else, even if their sword strike had similar power, their reckless attack would have likely pulverized the gold, silver, and silver notes inside.
"Nie Yun, you dare... you dare take our Mi Tian Sect’s belongings! Our Sect Leader will not let you go!"
Jun Xing struggled to his feet, just in time to see Nie Yun’s actions. He trembled with rage and let out a long cry. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
