Chapter 455

"No, please…"

But Senior Xiaoyaozi paid no heed, casually forming several Life-Death Talismans and sending them flying into Zhu Wushi's meridians.

Even Quan Dao Shen, a supreme Mythical Realm powerhouse, could not withstand the horror of the Life-Death Talismans.

How could Zhu Wushi, a Land Immortal, possibly remain unaffected?

As soon as the Life-Death Talismans entered, he let out a piercing scream.

Then, like Quan Dao Shen, he began tearing at his own flesh, as if trying to dismantle himself.

The Four Guardians saw this and wanted to rush forward to help Zhu Wushi, but dared not lift a hand.

"Enough! This matter is settled—go back!"

Senior Xiaoyaozi had no interest in these petty pests; he spoke to the Jin Long frolicking in the void.

The Jin Long seemed to understand human speech; upon hearing Senior Xiaoyaozi tell it to return, it showed clear reluctance.

But when it saw Senior Xiaoyaozi's hand flick, and the Divine War Palace once again radiated light,

the Jin Long instantly shuddered, expelling the Great Ming Dragon Qi, then obediently darted into the Divine War Palace.

"Retreat!"

Senior Xiaoyaozi reached out, and the Divine War Palace shrank rapidly, gradually settling into his palm.

After finishing everything, Senior Xiaoyaozi returned with Wang Yangming to the city tower.

"Wang Yangming, I admire you. When I meet the Great Dragon Chief, I'll ask him to heal you—will you join the Qinglong Society?"

Senior Xiaoyaozi looked at Wang Yangming with a smile.

The Southern Wang Shizi, upon hearing this, couldn't help but twitch his face, thinking inwardly,

"Fourth Dragon Chief, really? Are you seriously poaching him right in front of us?!"

Yet he dared not speak out or show any reaction.

If not for the Qinglong Society and Senior Xiaoyaozi stepping in, the capital would have fallen long ago during this rebellion of thirty thousand Great Ming troops.

His counterfeit emperorship would have ended right then.

So even if the Qinglong Society demanded Wang Yangming become emperor,

the Southern Wang Shizi would not dare utter a single word of refusal!

"Ah? Thank you, Fourth Dragon Chief, for your honor."

The display Senior Xiaoyaozi just gave revealed the Qinglong Society's immense depth.

They had subdued both the Divine War Palace and the Black Dragon—among the Nine Continents, who else could match such power?

For Wang Yangming to refuse would be sheer foolishness.

He immediately agreed without hesitation.

Moreover, from Senior Xiaoyaozi's tone, the Great Dragon Chief could actually save him—even though his heart meridian was severed?

Who wouldn't want to live longer?

"Good! Since you agree, then it's settled—or else... hehe..."

Senior Xiaoyaozi smiled; those who refused the Qinglong Society never met a good end.

When Dangchuxi Sect once tried to recruit Zhang Sanfeng as the Seventh Dragon Chief, those who refused saw their Wu Dangpai wiped out.

The same applied to Wang Yangming.

Seeing Senior Xiaoyaozi's cryptic smile, hearing the screams of Zhu Wushi and Quan Dao Shen,

Wang Yangming shuddered—thankfully, he hadn't been foolish!

"Enough! Now that the rebellion is quelled, handle all other matters within Great Ming yourselves!"

Within Great Ming, the Qinglong Society cared most about the capital and Wu Dangpai.

Senior Xiaoyaozi had the Divine War Palace and the Black Dragon, so he came to the Great Ming capital.

Li Taibai held Wu Dangpai in high regard, so he went there.

Now that both places are settled, the rest of the trivial affairs naturally fall to the Great Ming court.

As for the factions opposing the Qinglong Society and the shadowy masterminds behind them,

the Qinglong Society would not let them go unpunished.

But right now, the most urgent task is to return to Qinglong Peak and report to the Great Dragon Chief.

"Understood! May the Fourth Dragon Chief travel safely…"

The Southern Wang Shizi bowed deeply, respectfully seeing off Senior Xiaoyaozi alongside Great Ming's civil and military officials and Wang Yangming.

Senior Xiaoyaozi merely smiled, then vanished.

Although the greatest rebellion in Great Ming had been quelled, news of its course and outcome spread swiftly across the Nine Continents.

The closest to it, naturally, was Da Yuan.

After all, this entire affair had been orchestrated from behind the scenes by Da Yuan.

"What did you say? Senior Xiaoyaozi destroyed Quan Dao Shen with a single palm strike?"

Tie Muzhen, listening to the scout's report, looked utterly incredulous.

Quan Dao Shen was the top Mythical Realm master in Yunzhou's You Dongying, wasn't he?

You Dongying had always claimed Quan Dao Shen's talent rivaled that of Wu Ming in Yunzhou.

At this moment, Tie Muzhen could only say one thing:

Is that all?

Is Wu Ming's talent really this pitiful?

Stop blowing smoke, You Dongying people!

Wu Ming came alone to the Da Yuan imperial court, subdued the Long Xiang Three Monks, and ruthlessly slaughtered the newly recruited Po Jun.

That thunder-sword fell like a downpour.

Throughout the Great Yuan imperial court, even a common peasant knows how powerful Wuming is!

That battle left shadows over the entire Great Yuan, from Tie Muzhen down to the common folk.

You call this Fist Dao God a genius equal to Wuming?

But what kind of equality is this?

He crushed the imperial court with a single sword—yet you're just going to Jingcheng to deliver your head?

Do the You Dongying people really love boasting so much?

At that moment, Tie Muzhen was truly enraged.

"Your Majesty… perhaps it's not that the Fist Dao God is too weak, but that Senior Xiaoyaozi is too strong?"

Yelu Chu also wore a face full of embarrassment—he had been the mastermind behind recruiting the Fist Dao God.

Now this farce had occurred, and he suffered more than anyone else.

"Are you also mentally damaged?"

Monk Naomo stepped forward at this moment,

"Senior Xiaoyaozi only just reached late-stage Heavenly Being when he first appeared on the list, didn't he?"

"To instantly kill the Fist Dao God, how immense must his strength be?"

"At the very least, at least mid-stage Mythical Realm."

"Jumping three realms—that's Senior Xiaoyaozi or Ximen Wudi…?"

287—The Qinglong Society's hidden cards are truly numerous!

"This…"

Yelu Chu was drenched in sweat—he knew little of cultivation.

His own cultivation was barely top-tier, so he truly had no right to speak further.

"Perhaps such a possibility truly exists…"

Monk Huanxi, however, frowned and spoke up,

"You must know that the War God Hall is in Senior Xiaoyaozi's hands."

"Over the years, every powerful cultivator who entered the War God Hall achieved a qualitative leap."

"But have you ever seen any powerful cultivator who left the War God Hall and took the Hall itself into his possession?"

"Er…"

The grand hall fell into silence.

In that case, Senior Xiaoyaozi's madness is somewhat reasonable.
