Chapter 53

"And it concerns the life and death of countless common people? Heh~ where do you get the face to represent the people of the world?!"

"If you want it, just take action; don't open your mouth with righteousness and close it with the people! Don't you feel disgusted!"

Xiang Yutian sneered,

the disgust on his face not concealed in the slightest.

Having been famous for many years,

he had long known clearly what kind of goods Cihang Jingzhai was.

Not to mention that he had dealt with them many times when he was the Evil Emperor.

It was just that after many years,

hearing such disgusting remarks again, he still couldn't help it for a moment.

"You!"

Fan Qinghui was furious,

her face turning blue and white.

Her eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent.

As the leader of the Great Sui Righteous Path,

over the years, no matter what forces she encountered, which one wasn't respectful and polite?

When had she ever been slapped in the face like this today!

No!

This was no longer a matter of slapping her in the face,

but of rubbing Cihang Jingzhai’s face on the ground and grinding it frantically!!

And after that, not forgetting to spit on it!

For her, who was accustomed to being high and mighty, how could she endure this!

Taking a deep breath,

Fan Qinghui darkened her face and threatened coldly,

"Xiang Yutian, although you are the Evil Emperor of the Demonic Gate, you are but one person!"

"With so many fellow martial artists here, they won't let you just take the Longevity Scripture away!"

"If you are sensible, you had better hand it over, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!!"

Speaking to the end,

she glanced at the crowd behind her and the figures still rushing over in the distance,

and even her tone couldn't help but rise a few notches.

"Heh~ just a bunch of rabble!"

"I’d like to see what means you have!"

Xiang Yutian sneered with disdain.

After speaking, he didn't give her a chance to speak again.

He released his terrifying Heaven-Man Realm aura without any concealment!

Instantly,

the vast pressure centered on him and spread in all directions!

In just an instant,

the invisible pressure that had already shrouded the Purple Bamboo Forest suddenly increased several times!

Feeling the pressure as heavy as a ten-thousand-zhang mountain,

except for the Demonic Gate forces standing behind Xiang Yutian,

whether it was Cihang Jingzhai, Jingnian Zen Temple, or other major forces,

all felt their figures stiffen slightly, and their internal Qi circulation slowed down.

Even their breathing became suffocated.

Some with weaker cultivation

were scared pale, their legs trembling.

Deep in their pupils, thick fear spread.

The originally noisy Purple Bamboo Forest

also became silent in an instant, where a needle could be heard dropping.

"Amitabha!"

Just at this moment,

the host of Jingnian Zen Temple, Liaokong, who was standing beside Fan Qinghui, put his hands together and chanted a Buddha name.

The voice, though not like the Buddhist Vajra Lion’s Roar, was like a great bell, deafening!

In an instant,

everyone felt their bodies lighten.

The infinite pressure they were bearing dissipated instantly.

"Closed-Mouth Zen?"

Xiang Yutian raised an eyebrow,

looking at Liaokong with interest.

As an Evil Emperor famous for many years,

he naturally had some understanding of the Buddhist Closed-Mouth Zen.

This is an extremely special cultivation technique.

What is cultivated is a breath of inner restraint!

One cannot speak easily.

Only in emergencies or necessary situations will one speak.

And once one speaks,

that restrained breath will also leak away!

As for the power,

it depends on the time of cultivation.

The longer the time, the greater the power!

Just like now,

even though Liaokong didn't even have the cultivation of the Earthly Immortal Realm,

he actually relied on that one breath to break the Heaven-Man Realm aura!

Although for Xiang Yutian, this was simply a waste of effort and could be re-exerted with a single thought,

it was enough to see how exaggerated Liaokong’s move was!

He forcibly crossed two major realms!

If it were used on someone in the same realm, or an Earthly Immortal who wasn't prepared,

he might have been able to seriously injure them with this blow!!

The degree of exaggeration can be seen from this.

"Pfft!!"

Just as Fan Qinghui and the others were happy,

Liaokong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood,

his face becoming extremely pale!

His figure swayed slightly, and he couldn't even stand steadily!

Clearly,

even though he broke Xiang Yutian’s aura with thirty years of Closed-Mouth Zen,

for him, whose cultivation was only at the peak of the Peerless Realm,

he had suffered no small backlash!

"Master Liaokong!"

Everyone was shocked. ===== CHAPTER 104 =====

Everyone turned pale with shock.

They exclaimed subconsciously,

their expressions changing drastically.

068-Blood Hand Li Gong, Three Great Masters of the Daoist Gate! (Seeking self-subscription)

"It’s nothing, just suffered some backlash."

Wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth,

Liaokong forced himself to wave his hand,

though his voice sounded a bit short of breath.

"If you have any other trump cards, just use them."

"Lest you say I am bullying the small and not giving you a chance!"

Seeing this scene,

Xiang Yutian laughed lightly.

It was just that what made people shudder was

that although there was a smile on his face,

his tone was filled with endless killing intent!

Especially that gaze, which was playful yet contemptuous,

made everyone present furious!

But due to the gap in strength,

let alone taking action, they didn't even dare to speak!

Fortunately,

as the leader of the Great Sui Righteous Path, Fan Qinghui didn't drop the ball.

She darkened her face and said coldly,

"I beg the Grandmaster to take action and help us eliminate the demons and defend the Dao!"

What?!

Grandmaster?!!

The crowd was in an uproar,

looking around curiously to see which existence of Cihang Jingzhai it was.

As for Xiang Yutian,

after hearing this, his eyes narrowed slightly,

and the faint smile on his mouth disappeared instantly.

And Zhu Yuyan and the others behind him had their expressions change.

From Fan Qinghui’s address, it wasn't hard to guess

that this Cihang Jingzhai Grandmaster, no matter how weak, was likely an existence that could compete with the Evil Emperor!

If that were the case,

facing the aggression of the others,

they were likely in danger!

Separating the story,

in an inn in Chang'an City,

"Are we really going to cooperate with them?"

"You must know, they are all existences that eat people without spitting out the bones!"

"Even if Yang Guang dies, with our forces, I’m afraid we won't be able to divide the Great Sui with them!"

Dugu Feng took a deep breath,

his expression looking quite heavy.

"What are you afraid of! Haven't you all seen the current situation of the Great Han?"

"With their ambition and arrogance, how could they tolerate others coveting the Great Sui!"

"What we need to do is make them stand in a tripod, wary of each other, so we can sit back and reap the benefits!"

"Once we control the Great Sui, if they want to take action then, it will be too late!"

Seeming to have long understood such a situation,

before Dugu Feng’s words fell,

Yuwen Shang laughed without hesitation,

his face full of confidence.

As soon as this was said,

Song Zhi and Li Yuan, who hadn't spoken on the side, nodded in agreement.

Seeing this,

Dugu Feng didn't say anything more,

a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes as he said in a deep voice,

"Since that’s the case, while those guys are all fighting for the Longevity Scripture and attracting attention, let’s act quickly!"

"Lest there be changes!"

The three nodded.

Following that,

Yuwen Shang spoke directly,

"Then let’s notify those three first, and then each start our actions."

"Half an hour later, gather at the Imperial Palace."

"Good!" x3

…………

Imperial Palace.

"Four Protectors, please sit."

Politely gesturing to Li Gong and the four,

Yang Guang then spoke without raising his head,

"Someone! Serve tea! Serve good tea!!"

To this,

Li Gong and the others had no waves.

Perhaps in the eyes of other martial artists,

being able to make the Lord of a Dynasty this polite

is already a supreme honor,

but for them,

this was insignificant and didn't count for anything.

Pitter-patter...

Not long after,

following a sound of footsteps,

two eunuchs respectfully brought in tea and walked in.

Taking a small sip of tea,

Li Gong pointed to the void with some curiosity,

asking the doubt in his heart,

"What is this Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling List?"

Beside him,

Han Gongdu and the three looked at Yang Guang,

their eyes

also showing some interest. ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
