Chapter 763: Three Provinces Martial Alliance

"This is a personal grievance between me and the Yu Family; it has nothing to do with anyone else," Chen Yu said indifferently. "You all can just watch from the side. It would be unfortunate if you brought trouble upon yourselves just to curry favor with the Yu Family."

"What did you say, brat?" The six Martial Ancestors stood up in unison, glaring at Chen Yu with fury.

"Yu Jiuzhen has committed countless evils; I am merely acting on behalf of Heaven. I will ask the Yu Family one more time: will you hand her over or not?" Chen Yu's gaze turned toward Yu Zhenye.

"Don't even think about it." Yu Zhenye's voice was full of vigor; he showed no signs of being injured at all.

"Hmph, the Yu Family is a century-old Martial Arts Family. They hold their descendants to extremely strict standards, and every member of the Yu Family strictly adheres to ancestral teachings. How could they have committed countless evils?" one Martial Ancestor demanded angrily.

"Heh, saying Miss Yu has committed countless evils? That is simply absurd. I have met Miss Yu; she is a gentle, well-read, and refined young lady. Brat, if you dare spout nonsense again, see if I don't slap you across the face."

These six Martial Artists stood up one after another, doing their utmost to defend the Yu Family.

They were experts from Martial Arts Families or sects across the Three Provinces. This time, Yu Zhenye had invited the strongest people in the Martial Alliance.

"A bunch of old things who only know how to curry favor. Do you really think I am afraid of you?" Chen Yu sneered. Suddenly, he took a step forward, walking through the void as if ascending a transparent staircase, rising into the air.

"Today is a grievance between me and the Yu Family. If any of you wish to intervene, feel free to bring it on." Chen Yu's voice rose like a thunderclap. He beckoned with his right hand into the void, and dark clouds from all directions rapidly gathered, forming a massive vortex in the sky above his head.

Within the vortex, purple lightning flickered. With a flash of Sword Light, Lichen appeared from the massive vortex. Chen Yu grabbed Lichen, purple Qi faintly swirling around his body, his face filled with killing intent.

"This... is the Unity of Heaven Realm." Feeling the immense pressure between Heaven and Earth, the six Martial Ancestors from the Three Provinces could not help but back down.

The Primordial Qi Realm of a Dharma Cultivator is the Unity of Heaven Realm, where a person merges into one with the Heavenly Dao, and to a certain extent, can represent the Heavenly Dao.

Although Chen Yu was only at the entry-level Primordial Qi Realm for a Dharma Cultivator, a single sword strike could kill several Martial Ancestors in an instant.

The reason these people were currying favor was entirely because the Yu Family was the Alliance Leader of the Martial Alliance, and the Tianxin Pavilion within the Martial Alliance, along with various resources, were all under their control.

Yet, despite this, none of them were willing to provoke a powerful enemy for no reason.

The six Martial Ancestors from the Three Provinces looked at each other and subconsciously took a step back. They could not afford to provoke such a person. This was a matter for the Yu Family, and they were unwilling to get involved and end up in a mutually destructive fight with the opponent.

"Is the Martial Alliance filled with nothing but these pieces of trash?" As another voice rang out, a woman in a red dress slowly descended above the main hall of Longwu Villa.

This woman was Chixiao. She released her Primordial Qi without reservation; her cultivation at the peak of the Primordial Qi Realm was even more imposing than Chen Yu's pressure.

"And who might you be?" The three Martial Ancestors of the Yu Family were shocked, their legs turning slightly weak.

This was the pressure caused by two Dharma Cultivators simultaneously exerting their full power—a pressure that contained a hint of Heaven and Earth Might from having realized the Heavenly Dao, causing cold sweat to break out on their foreheads.

"Nameless, Chixiao," Chixiao said coldly. "Today is for Chen Yu and the Yu Family to resolve a personal grievance. If anyone wants to intervene, you might as well get past me first. If you six are not convinced, feel free to come over."

The six Martial Ancestors wilted. One Primordial Qi Realm expert was someone they might be able to fight to a draw or slightly overcome if they combined their strength, but against two Primordial Qi Realm Dharma Cultivators, they had no chance of winning even if they joined forces.

The six Martial Ancestors retreated with a tacit understanding, then sat back down in their original seats, not saying a word.

"Why hasn't the Zhou Family arrived yet?" Yu Zhenye and the red-and-white-faced elders were starting to panic. With two Dharma Cultivators appearing simultaneously, outsiders would never risk their lives to help, and now only the Zhou Family, who were allied with them through marriage, might stand with them and fight with all their might.

But the Zhou Family had not arrived yet; what exactly had gone wrong?

"Go quickly and have Zhou Yun urge them, ask what exactly is going on," the red-faced elder barked.

"The two of you, please stay calm. I have some matters to announce. It will not be too late to resolve your personal grievances after I finish reading them." Just then, Zhang Xiaojiu arrived on the scene.

Chixiao glanced at Zhang Xiaojiu, then withdrew her aura and stood on the roof. Chen Yu also slowly descended.

"Zhang Xiaojiu, what are you doing here? You said yesterday you would mediate our affairs; why are you only arriving now?" the red-faced elder shouted.

He had already lost his nerve. Yesterday, when Zhang Xiaojiu said he would mediate, the Yu Family had been incredibly arrogant, but today, seeing the two Dharma Cultivators, they immediately wilted.

"Apologies, I am not here to mediate today. Besides, I gave everyone a chance yesterday, but you did not accept it." Zhang Xiaojiu took out a warrant and said, "I am here to convey the dismissal and appointment order regarding the Martial Alliance."

"What dismissal and appointment order?" Yu Zhenye's expression changed slightly.

"Yu Zhenye has served as the Martial Alliance Leader for over ten years, appointing people based on favoritism and excluding those who disagree with him. The current decision is as follows: remove Yu Zhenye from the position of Martial Alliance Leader, and all members of the Yu Family holding positions in the Martial Alliance are to be suspended pending investigation..."

"Zhang Xiaojiu, who gave you the authority to interfere in the affairs of our Martial Alliance?" The six Martial Ancestors were unconvinced.

In their view, although Zhang Xiaojiu was famous, that was only because he frequently traveled through the Jianghu; his actual strength was merely average.

Furthermore, he was not a member of the Martial Alliance. The appointment and dismissal of the Martial Alliance Leader were decided collectively by various Jianghu figures from the Three Provinces and six cities. What right did Zhang Xiaojiu have to issue dismissals and appointments?

"I represent Dragon Breath and the Heaven War Pavilion to read this dismissal and appointment order. Do you have any problems with that?" Zhang Xiaojiu channeled his True Qi, his voice sounding like a great bell.

His voice stunned everyone present. The six Martial Ancestors looked at Zhang Xiaojiu in horror; first, they were shaken by his strength, and second, none of them could have imagined that Zhang Xiaojiu was actually a member of the Dragon Breath Heaven War Pavilion.

One must know that Dragon Breath is the most secretive department in Huaxia, with five divisions under its name, specifically tasked with restraining those in the Martial Dao as well as extraordinary individuals.

Although the Martial Alliance is a Jianghu organization of the Three Provinces and six cities, it is overseen by the Heaven War Pavilion under Dragon Breath. However, under normal circumstances, the Heaven War Pavilion does not intervene in the affairs of the Martial Alliance unless there is a major event.

Yet this time, the Heaven War Pavilion had directly removed Yu Zhenye from his position as Martial Alliance Leader, which indicated that the situation was very serious.

"Zhang Xiaojiu, what is your relationship with Chen Yu?" Yu Zhenye shouted. "This is slander."

"Yu Zhenye, the Heaven War Pavilion has been tracking your every move and action over these years. Do not make false accusations. How many talented martial artists were originally given the chance to enter the highest martial arts hall, the Tianxin Pavilion, and become the nation's sharp weapons?"
