Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

After taking control of the City Defense Formation, Alkaid truly set foot into Southern Capital.

With the advantage of this Thirteen Level Formation, even if Shattered Void powerhouses dared to come alone, he was confident he could ensure they had a one-way trip.

"Yin Moon Demon Cultivators are running rampant. It seems that the Southern Capital has become a lot quieter,"

Alkaid entered the Formation and glanced at the many shops that had closed their doors due to rumors, and made a comment.

Following that, he instructed Ling Ruogu, "Since the Demon Cultivators are so rampant, we must not take this lightly. We will fully activate the City Defense Formation; we must root out the Demon Cultivators."

"Yes,"

Ling Ruogu complied,

and quickly went to fully activate the Formation.

Wu Changfeng, who was beside him, hurriedly advised, "Vice Sect Leader, the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation, being a Thirteen Level Formation, once fully activated, will consume an astronomical number of Spirit Stones and resources every day. Even with no one attacking the Formation, it will incur the loss of tens of thousands of Pure Yang Great Pills. For the sake of capturing a single Yin Moon Demon Cultivator, this seems too costly..."

"I have just arrived and need to establish authority; setting up my majesty as the Vice Sect Leader, that Yin Moon Demon Cultivator is the perfect example,"

Alkaid said emphatically.

"But with the Formation fully activated, coming and going from Southern Capital will become inconvenient and, as the capital of the Southern Region, the daily financial transactions involved are immense. A single day’s delay is a huge loss,"

"Look at the Southern Capital, what it’s been reduced to by those Yin Moon Demon Cultivators, with barely two or three out of ten shops open. We must do our utmost to capture the Demon Cultivators, and this is also to restore order in Southern Capital as soon as possible. Better a short pain than a long one,"

Alkaid gave the appearance of being deeply concerned about the development of Southern Capital.

Wu Changfeng, Jing Zhengyang, and others who heard this had a bad feeling.

This new Vice Sect Leader...

Seems likely to be even more aggressive and intense than they had imagined.

They knew they had to prepare for what was to come.

"Right, go and summon all the trade associations in Southern Capital that pay tax of ten thousand Pure Yang Great Pills in the name of the lord of the Southern Region. I have a small piece of news to announce,"

Alkaid ordered Chi Yu.

"Yes,"

Chi Yu nodded her head.

They already had an initial understanding of the well-known trade associations in Southern Capital upon their arrival and just needed to pass on the message now.

Upon hearing this, Wu Changfeng chuckled and said, "For such a small matter, there is no need for the Vice Sect Leader to trouble himself. We can assist."

"No trouble at all, you all have prepared a feast to welcome me, haven’t you? I certainly can’t let down everyone’s good intentions. Come, come, let’s all go together. Today, we won’t stop until we’re drunk,"

Alkaid, with a smile, grabbed Wu Changfeng and Jing Zhengyang, while calling over Lu Qianjie, Li Guiren, and others, and headed straight for the City Lord’s Mansion.

Although these people didn’t know what Alkaid was planning, when faced with the invitation of the lord of the Southern Region, they dared not refuse.

Soon, the group entered the lord of the Southern Region’s residence.

This residence was usually where Wu Changfeng sat in attendance and lived, but now, naturally, it had been cleared out, ready for Alkaid to move in.

The group stepped into the banquet that had been prepared well in advance and quickly started singing and dancing; the atmosphere became lively.

The mood also began to lighten under these circumstances.

However...

This relaxed atmosphere didn’t last half a day before someone sent a Divine Sense transmission to Li Guiren.

This Hollow Void powerhouse stood up abruptly after receiving the message.

But then, he seemed to realize the setting was inappropriate and lowered his voice slightly, laughing as he said, "Vice Sect Leader Alkaid, I don’t know how Heavenly Universe Tower has offended you, warranting your actions to have people surround it?"

"I don’t know, haven’t I been drinking with you all this time? Let me ask."

Alkaid, looking puzzled, summoned a subordinate and inquired briefly, then quickly said, "Oh, Heavenly Universe Tower is suspected of harboring Yin Moon Demon Cultivators, so I instructed people to go and investigate... Eh?"

At that moment, he seemed to notice something else and laughed as he projected an image. Inside, the Chi Family’s forces were clearly in a standoff with Heavenly Universe Tower’s forces.

"Look at that, if Heavenly Universe Tower isn’t hiding Demon Cultivators, how could they be so bold as to disobey the orders from my Territory Lord’s Mansion? Even daring to confront my people! Truly audacious! I think, nine times out of ten, the Yin Moon Sect’s Demon Cultivators are in Heavenly Universe Tower!"

Alkaid turned to the people of the Heavenly Casualty War Hall and instructed, "Qi Sha, you take your men and flatten Heavenly Universe Tower, seize the Demon Cultivators hiding within, and return peace to the citizens of Southern Capital!"

"Yes,"

Qi Sha promptly stood up and left with the command.

"Vice Sect Leader Alkaid."

Seeing that even a Hollow Void powerhouse like Qi Sha was deployed, Li Guiren quickly stood up, "As far as I know, Heavenly Universe Tower has always been a well-known charitable enterprise in Southern Capital, engaging in philanthropic activities year-round. It would never harbor Demon Cultivators. Please allow me to investigate, Vice Sect Leader Alkaid, and I will make sure to uncover the truth for you."

"Charitable enterprise? Merely a disguise,"

Alkaid spoke indifferently, "I think it’s precisely because you’ve been too friendly with these merchants that they’ve joined forces to deceive you, allowing the Yin Moon Sect demon cultivators to run wild under your watch for so long without being caught."

He waved his hand, "When dealing with demon cultivators, we don’t need to talk about righteousness with them! Better to kill one wrongly than to let one go! Therefore, leave this matter to my people to handle! I will definitely root out the demon cultivators in the shortest time, freeing the people of the Southern Capital from threat and restoring its prosperity!"

"Sect Leader Alkaid..."

Li Guiren wanted to speak, but Alkaid interrupted him, "Enough, don’t let these matters disturb my pleasure. Ling Xi, go activate the Divine Sense Barrier Formation. Since I’ve said that today we will celebrate in a big way, to welcome me and wash away the dust, and not to stop until we’ve had our fill, let’s thoroughly enjoy ourselves. No one may be troubled by outside matters or leave midway, or it will be seen as disrespect to me."

With a grand gesture, he ordered the singing and dancing girls and immortals below, "Let the song begin, let the dance commence."

Ling Xi, upon receiving the order, immediately activated the Divine Sense Barrier Formation of the Territory Lord’s Mansion.

Once this formation was activated, it could isolate internal and external Divine Sense transmissions.

In other words, they would no longer receive any messages from the outside world.

At this, all those from the Hollow Void Realm in the venue began to feel uneasy.

Alkaid...

This was clearly an intention to completely eradicate those forces that did not conform to his will.

And from the fact that he was unwilling to spare even forces like the Heavenly Universe Tower affiliated with the Li Family, it was clear that unless it was those powers who submitted immediately, few could escape unscathed.

For a moment, many eyes fell upon Jing Zhengyang and Wu Changfeng, who stood at the forefront.

Wu Changfeng’s face went through a range of expressions.

Theoretically, he was the most appropriate person to step forward, but at this moment, he remained silent.

Instead, it was Jing Zhengyang who, seeing Wu Changfeng’s indifference, became somewhat agitated.

"Sect Leader Alkaid!"

The Family Head of the Jing Family stood up and slowly said, "Do we really have to go to such lengths before you’re willing to stop?"

"Oh? I’m a bit unclear about what you’re getting at, Family Head Jing. Could you please explain more clearly?"

Alkaid said, looking at him.

Yet, Jing Zhengyang didn’t speak, but pointed at Li Guiren and said, "The Li Family has the support of Peak Master Li Baijie of the Heavenly Dao Sect, a powerful being who has been in the Void Refinement Realm for over a thousand years. It’s said that a hundred years ago, he even obtained a Dao Artifact! With a Dao Artifact in hand, looking across the Void Refinement Realm, his combat power is considered top-notch!"

Then he pointed at Lu Qianshan, "Although Peak Master Lu Wanshi behind Elder Lu doesn’t have a Dao Artifact, the years he’s spent consolidating in the Void Refinement Realm are even longer than those of Peak Master Li, and his Dao Technique strength can be said to be of the upper echelons of Void Refinement without exaggeration."

After introducing these two, he paused slightly in his speech, "As for the Supreme Elder Jing Yuntian standing behind me, his weight doesn’t need to be stated by me, does it?"

"And then?"

Alkaid said with a smile.

"And then?"

Jing Zhengyang raised his voice a bit, "You are now looking to completely purge all the powers within the Southern Capital and bring them under your control, but have you really thought through the consequences of doing this? Are you truly prepared to face the cost of offending all of us?"

"I think, there is something you’ve all misunderstood from the beginning."

Alkaid’s smile faded as he slowly stood up from his position, "The ones who really need to think the cost through are not me, but you all! Who am I? In less than a hundred years, I reached the Void Refinement Realm as the Vice Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Unless the Dao Lords make a move, only the Shattered Void could pose a slight threat to me. What qualifies you to make me pay a price!?"

His gaze swept over Lu Qianshan, Li Guiren, and Jing Zhengyang one by one, "Not to mention you all, even the Peak Masters behind you, how could they compare with me, the Vice Sect Leader? And as for the only one of you who I could take a little seriously, Supreme Elder Jing Yuntian, I respect his strength... but since he has set his heart on opposing me, do you think I would fear him?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Qianshan, Li Guiren, and Jing Zhengyang’s expressions simultaneously changed.

Alkaid had completely torn all pretenses now.

And he was doing so against two Peak Masters and a Supreme Elder at the same time.

Offending two from the Void Refinement Realm and one from the Shattered Void.

"I can only say one thing, I have been too kind, which has made some of you forget your place. But the truth is... Even if the Peak Masters and Supreme Elders supporting you were gone, I would still be fully qualified to point at all of you and ask..."

Alkaid’s expression turned cold, "Who do you think you are?"

Lu Qianshan and Li Guiren’s gazes immediately turned toward Jing Zhengyang and Wu Changfeng, the two Void Refinement realm cultivators.

Embarrassed by these words, Jing Zhengyang’s face turned red, his breath coming in short gasps.

But Wu Changfeng remained silent, curiously adopting a low profile.

"The Formation has been activated. No Divine Sense can be transmitted from here, and the Shadow Retaining Stone can’t record images normally, so... I can tell you straightforwardly."

Divine Sense emanated from Alkaid in waves, "Today, I intend to cleanse all the insubordinate powers in the Southern Capital and take absolute control of it, using the Southern Capital as a base to swiftly gain control over the Southern Region."

He laid his cards out on the table.

He made his objective clear.

"If you refuse to accept this, well, we have the Yin Moon demon cultivators wreaking havoc within Southern Capital, don’t we? Come on! Join forces and defeat me! Whether I die by the hands of the Yin Moon demon cultivators or some other reason, it’s up to you, otherwise..."

Alkaid pointed outside with his hand, "Get out of the Southern Region!"
