Chapter 420

As Mo He Tian's words fell, the experts of the Mo He Ancient Clan were struck as if by lightning.

Great Thousand Palace, King Chu!

This name was now renowned throughout the Great Thousand World, and it had long since reached their ears like a thunderclap.

Yet they never imagined that their first encounter with this legendary figure would happen in such a manner! Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Mo He Tian gritted his teeth and asked, "The Great Thousand Palace has always refrained from interfering in power struggles. Isn't King Chu's action today a violation of the rules?"

Chu Yang said indifferently, "I am not a member of the Great Thousand Palace; I merely hold the title of Demon Slayer."

"I have never heard that the rules of the Great Thousand Palace restrict a Demon Slayer who is locked in a life-and-death struggle with the Outer Evil Tribe!"

His words left Mo He Tian speechless and unable to retort.

Official members of the Great Thousand Palace are different from Demon Slayers, and the Great Thousand Palace does not impose any restrictions on Demon Slayers.

To put it bluntly, for the Great Thousand Palace, Demon Slayers are akin to mercenaries.

By opening its treasury and allowing Demon Slayers to earn contribution points to exchange for treasures, the Great Thousand Palace attracts more experts to join the fight against the Outer Evil Tribe.

Demon Slayers fight bravely on the front lines to protect the countless lives behind them; if they were to be bound by various rules, it would inevitably chill their hearts.

Thus, Chu Yang's words effectively cornered Mo He Tian; if he were to continue arguing this point, he would likely offend every Demon Slayer in the Great Thousand World.

Mo He Tian gritted his teeth, "King Chu truly has excellent methods. To lure all five of my Ancient Clans into this trap, you actually set up such a massive scheme!"

Chu Yang shook his head, "I have never targeted your five Ancient Clans. It is only because you were too greedy that you brought this upon yourselves."

"What do you want?" Mo He Tian stared fixedly at Chu Yang.

He knew very well that whether it was himself or the experts of the Mo He Ancient Clan, they would not be able to leave unscathed today without paying a price.

And this, he feared, was exactly what Chu Yang wanted! Yet Mo He Tian could not understand why—he and the experts of the five Ancient Clans had never offended this rising King Chu; the other party was clearly not seeking revenge.

Since it wasn't revenge, it could only be for profit! But what could the five Ancient Clans possibly possess that would tempt him?

Thinking of this, Mo He Tian's pupils suddenly constricted, and his heart skipped a beat.

He thought of a possibility, but if Chu Yang truly made such a demand, the Mo He Ancient Clan would never agree, no matter what.

Moreover, he did not believe Chu Yang would dare to kill him and the Mo He Ancient Clan's experts! If the other party really did that, the Great Thousand Palace would likely not stand for it! "There is no rush for this. Let us talk slowly once the people from the Great Thousand Palace arrive..."

Chu Yang looked at him with a smile, then glanced at Tang Huo'er, who had already pushed the Saint Product elder of the Mo He Ancient Clan to his limit.

It would not take long before she secured victory.

"But after all, fists and feet have no eyes. If this continues, who is to say that this Shenzhou Continent won't become the burial ground for some senior?"

Chu Yang's words carried a naked threat, as well as absolute confidence in Tang Huo'er.

He understood his disciple well; after integrating the Dragon-Phoenix Origin into the Taiji True Intent, Tang Huo'er's combat power was not to be underestimated.

She had already pioneered a path unique to herself and named it the Taiji True Form.

In fact, from this point alone, one could see Chu Yang's favoritism toward this disciple.

Although he had taught his strongest cultivation technique, a weakened version of the Origin Sutra, to Yun Yun and Na Lan Yanran, it was merely to accelerate their cultivation speed.

It was equivalent to Chu Yang helping them build a solid foundation and paving the way for them to become experts, but the direction in which this path developed was entirely up to them.

But Tang Huo'er was different; Chu Yang taught her the Taiji True Intent, personally provided guidance, and helped pave her way through Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er.

Therefore, while Tang Huo'er's cultivation speed might not match Yun Yun and Na Lan Yanran, the rate of her overall strength improvement far exceeded theirs.

"What do you want?" Mo He Tian nearly bit through his teeth.

He could no longer remember how many years it had been since he had suffered such a great loss.

And it was he who had delivered himself to the doorstep; he could only swallow his pride.

"Mo He Ancient Clan, cease resistance and accept suppression."

Chu Yang stared at Mo He Tian, "I can guarantee that I will not harm a single hair on your heads!"

"Otherwise, let us continue fighting!"

"However, from now on, if one person from the Great Xia Dynasty falls, I will execute ten from the Mo He Ancient Clan!"

Another threat!

Mo He Tian clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, revealing the anger suppressed to the extreme in his heart.

But after hesitating for a moment, watching the elder about to be defeated by Tang Huo'er, he hardened his heart and squeezed a word through his teeth...

"Fine!"

The many experts present had been keeping an eye on them; upon hearing the conversation, the experts of the Mo He Ancient Clan looked at each other, seeing the humiliation in each other's eyes.

But the situation was stronger than the people, and they could only choose to compromise.

In the Great Xia Dynasty's camp, many people were not from the Douqi Continent, having only joined in the last two years.

They never expected that the famous King Chu stood behind the Great Xia Dynasty, nor did they expect King Chu to be so arrogant and powerful!

A single punch severely injured the veteran Saint Product mid-stage expert Mo He Tian!

A single word suppressed the entire Mo He Ancient Clan!

Such methods and spirit were truly admirable.

Chu Yang waved his hand gently, and the black-haired youth turned into a streak of light, merging into his dantian.

This black-haired youth was naturally the Qilin True Spirit after taking human form.

Tang Huo'er also ceased her offensive, flashed to Chu Yang's side, and bowed gracefully, "Teacher, how should these people be dealt with?"

Teacher?

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene was in an uproar!

No wonder! No wonder King Chu would wade into these muddy waters; it turned out the Empress of Great Xia was actually King Chu's disciple! Truly, a great teacher produces brilliant students! The teacher is the famous Demon Slayer King, who could kill a late-stage Immortal Product expert while in the Earthly Sovereign realm.

And his disciple could also fight across realms, using mid-stage Immortal Product strength to beat an early-stage Saint Product into retreat.

This master and disciple were simply more monstrous than the other! Mo He Tian's face looked as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

If Chu Yang and the Great Xia Dynasty had no actual relationship, he could have held onto that point after the Great Thousand Palace intervened.

But now...

They were master and disciple, which meant they were family; the affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty were naturally the affairs of Chu Yang.

In this way, their Mo He Ancient Clan had invaded on a large scale and now wanted to annex the other party; from any angle, they were in the wrong. "Since the seniors of the Mo He Ancient Clan are willing to cooperate, we shouldn't be too heartless..."

Chu Yang said with a smile, "Please, seniors, go sit in the Great Xia dungeon for a while!"

"There is no need for suppression; I believe you will keep your word and not resist."

The experts of the Mo He Ancient Clan looked at their clan leader; seeing Mo He Tian nod in agreement, they could only accept their fate with ugly expressions.

Being thrown into a dungeon was a supreme humiliation.

But even their leader had yielded, so what else could they do? The events on the Shenzhou Continent spread rapidly to all factions in a very short time.

This turmoil was even more spectacular than everyone had imagined, and the ending was equally unexpected.

Hei Di, one of the only two Saint Product experts of the Black Heaven Ancient Clan, was suppressed in the Endless Fire Territory! The heads of the three branches of the Budu Ancient Clan and many experts were suppressed in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion! Many experts of the Desolate Ancient Clan were forcibly kept at the Yunlan Sect! The experts sent by the Tai Ling Ancient Clan had disappeared without a trace; no one knew what had happened on the Hundred Flower Continent! The experts of the Mo He Ancient Clan had come out in full force, only to be beaten until they had almost no power to fight back, and could only choose to give up resistance and be thrown into the Great Xia dungeon! Good heavens...

Any one of these events alone would be enough to cause a sensation throughout the Great Thousand World! Now that all these things had come together, and it was even possible that the same person was secretly controlling the overall situation...

Many experts and leaders of factions realized that this matter was likely going to pierce the heavens!

At the same time, they also had a premonition that this turmoil would likely lead to another reshuffling of the many factions in the Great Thousand World since the ancient times! And the mastermind and leader behind all this was likely Chu Yang! This newly risen Demon Slayer King, this young monster who had become famous throughout the Great Thousand World with lightning speed, had once again performed a feat that shocked everyone.

But some people couldn't understand: it was one thing for Chu Yang's disciple to be powerful, but where did the other Saint Product experts come from?

These people had no reputation in the Great Thousand World, as if they had suddenly popped out of nowhere, which was truly unreasonable.

After all, to be able to cultivate to the Saint Product realm, any one of them would be a genius among geniuses; even during their growth process, it was destined that they could not be unknown.

Moreover, these people seemed very young, not those old monsters who had long been in seclusion or had one foot in the grave.

But one wave had not yet subsided when another rose; before people could fully digest the shock brought by Chu Yang, they were once again shocked by this King Chu's grand gesture!............

Shenzhou Continent, Great Xia Imperial Capital.

On the city wall, Chu Yang sat in a rattan chair, leisurely drinking tea.

Behind him, figures stood silently, each of them a person who had recently risen to fame in the Great Thousand World and had now jumped to become a hegemon.

Such a lineup was almost enough to sweep through any faction in the Great Thousand World; even the Sword Domain, the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs, and the Great Thousand Palace would definitely have to treat it with caution.

Several figures flew in from the distant horizon, the leader of whom was Qin Tian.

He did not come alone this time; he also brought several core elders of the Great Thousand Palace.

Qin Tian's cultivation was, after all, somewhat lacking; even though he was the person in charge of the Great Thousand Palace, dealing with disputes between such transcendent factions always required sufficient strength as a foundation.

Plus, this was the first time Qin Tian had come forward to handle a major event in the Great Thousand World as the person in charge of the Great Thousand Palace, and the Great Thousand Palace intended to build momentum for him.

Therefore, the Great Thousand Palace directly sent three core elders at the late-stage Immortal Product, and even found a Saint Product expert who had been in seclusion for years, did not belong to any faction, but was willing to accept the Great Thousand Palace's dispatch! The group of five traveled like lightning, day and night, which was enough to reflect the Great Thousand Palace's importance to this turmoil.

On the way, they already knew about a series of events.

Regarding the situation where many experts were suppressed and the Mo He Ancient Clan had come out in full force only to be locked in the Great Xia dungeon, the three core elders all had many complaints.

In their view, killing someone is just a matter of a head falling; everyone should stand on a unified front in the future to fight against the Outer Evil Tribe together, so there was no need to take things to this point.

After all, the Mo He Ancient Clan's invasion was not for the purpose of suppression and slaughter, so they felt Chu Yang had gone a bit too far.

The world is always like this; there is never a lack of guys who stand on the moral high ground and try to kidnap others with righteousness.

However, that Saint Product expert did not agree; he felt that Chu Yang had already given the Great Thousand Palace a lot of face by not killing anyone.

What is the purpose of cultivating and becoming stronger? For many people, it is nothing more than to protect the people around them or to give themselves a certain status.

When someone hits your doorstep, you naturally have to return the favor! In the final analysis, the Mo He Ancient Clan was not as strong as the other party; if this were in the ancient times, without the Outer Evil Tribe eyeing them covetously, even if Chu Yang had exterminated the Mo He Ancient Clan, it would have been reasonable.

Qin Tian didn't even need to be mentioned; his ability to become the person in charge of the Great Thousand Palace was inseparable from Chu Yang's help.

What's more, the two had already reached an agreement at the beginning; he was here to take sides, and besides, Chu Yang had all the "reason" on his side.

But no matter what thoughts the five of them harbored, when they saw the scene on the city wall of the Great Xia Imperial Capital, they were all stunned on the spot, their spirits shaken!

If it weren't for the Great Thousand Palace standing behind them, and having already had some guesses and psychological preparations, they might have even turned around and run.

Good heavens...

What kind of lineup is this? Not to mention Chu Yang sitting in the rattan chair, just looking at the people behind him, none of them were easy to deal with! The Martial Ancestor of the Martial Realm!

The Flame Emperor of the Endless Fire Territory!

The Pavilion Master and Young Pavilion Master of the Hundred Flower Pavilion! The Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect! Pavilion Master Lin of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!

These people were still okay; at least they were only at the Immortal Product realm. Even though they had experienced those previous events, they had already become hegemons, but not enough to make the Great Thousand Palace too wary.

But the remaining people were different!

Fan Wuye, the direct disciple of the Undying Lord! Ye Tao, the little princess of the Gravekeeper lineage!

These two were fully capable of representing the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs; standing behind them was the Undying Lord, one of the three giants of the Great Thousand World!

Besides that, there were six figures, each of whom was a Saint Product expert when taken out alone! And not just ordinary Saint Product experts!

Tang Huo'er, the Empress of Great Xia, who had just defeated an early-stage Saint Product expert! The suspected Phoenix Clan woman who suppressed Hei Di in the Endless Fire Territory!

The suspected Dragon Clan youth who easily suppressed many experts of the Budu Ancient Clan in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!

The black-haired youth who fought the veteran early-stage Saint Product elder of the Mo He Ancient Clan and was suspected to be Chu Yang's puppet!

That white-dressed woman who was so beautiful it was dreamlike, whose background no one could see through!

And...

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven?

Why is he here?

Qin Tian's brain completely crashed; he was a bit confused for a moment, not knowing what medicine Chu Yang was selling in his gourd.

The three core elders following him looked at each other, no longer having the courage to hold Chu Yang accountable.

That Saint Product old man's eyelids also twitched, and he secretly complained in his heart...

Are young people nowadays so powerful?

Just at this moment, Chu Yang slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Deputy Palace Master Qin, seniors, welcome to..."

"The Great Xia Dynasty!" (End of chapter)
