Chapter 556: Establishing Prestige
"Heh, you want to see our Grand Elder? Where do you get the courage to challenge Black Wind Cave? You despicable Central Plains people, I..." Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Chen Futu impatiently interrupted, "Shut up."
Boom!
With a single palm strike from a distance, the man was sent flying into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains before he could even scream.
This move terrified the onlookers and the powerful figures of Black Wind Cave.
With a single palm strike, this young man vanished from the Martial Venerable realm. Just what level of cultivation does he possess? Are there really such young Grand Venerables?
In fact, his avatar has now entered the realm of sainthood, while his true self has been mingling with the Ice Clan and the Ancestral Sacrifice, receiving guidance and reaching the mid-stage of Martial Saint.
"Miss Yan, please lead the way. Let's go to Black Wind Mountain first."
Chen Futu gave the order with a cold face.
Having no other choice, Yan Xiaoxiao led the two straight to the Black Wind Cave outpost on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Those powerful onlookers realized that a major battle was about to begin, so they secretly followed one by one.
Chen Futu did not stop him; his trip was merely to intimidate and deter others, and to establish Yaoyue's authority.
Half a day later, the group arrived at the foot of Black Wind Mountain.
Upon receiving the news, the powerful figures of Black Wind Cave knew that a formidable enemy was approaching, so they all prepared themselves, each carrying a weapon and glaring menacingly.
“Xiaoxiao, are you colluding with outsiders to rebel against the Ten Thousand Mountains? If so, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of your father.”
An elderly woman with white hair descended from the sky, her holy aura sweeping across the eight directions. She was the Great Elder of Black Wind Cave, accompanied by two Cloud-Supporting Ones and three Martial Venerables.
Yan Xiaoxiao was a little afraid of her and subconsciously hid behind Chen Futu.
Chen Futu raised his handsome face and sized up the old woman. "We have come here only to ask Black Wind Cave one question: Are you willing to submit?"
"I thought you were someone important, but it turns out you're just madmen from the Central Plains. The Holy Emperor sent you to suppress the Ten Thousand Mountains? That's going too far!"
The old woman tapped her cane, and poisonous mist swirled around her, drawing angry stares from the other powerful figures.
The spectators then realized that the Holy Emperor had sent someone to scout ahead.
"The Holy Emperor is powerful, but he dares to send just two people to invade my Ten Thousand Mountains. Does he think there's no one left in the Southern Frontier?"
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
"Please, seniors of Black Wind Cave, kill them!"
Chen Futu's words were too arrogant and angered the crowd, but he didn't care. Seeing this, he said to Yaoyue, "Go, let the creatures of the Ten Thousand Mountains see if you can suppress the entire realm by yourself."
"Young master, please wait a moment. I'll be right back."
Inviting the moon, she took a step into the sky. Upon seeing this, the old woman screamed in alarm: "Sacred Domain!"
"My God, that's a saint!"
"How is it possible for such a young Saint-level expert to be so powerful!"
Generally speaking, saints are old guys, but Yaoyue is too young, too noble, and too beautiful, not at all like an old monster who has returned to youth.
Faced with the crowd's exclamations, Yaoyue spread out her cloud sleeves and laughed loudly, "I am Yaoyue, the Grand Palace Master of the Yihua Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty. This Holy One has come in person, why don't you pay your respects!"
Her laughter carried an endless pressure of holy power, shaking the vast mountains and rivers, and all the people watching from the Ten Thousand Mountains were filled with fear.
Her aura was far stronger than the old woman's; they were on completely different levels!
Seeing the elders' terrified expressions and their reluctance to step forward, the old woman gritted her teeth, brandished her snake staff, and charged forward, shouting, "Black Wind Mountain will not tolerate outsiders! I will kill you today as a warning to others!"
"That old geezer, he's shouting pretty loudly."
Inviting the moon, she made a hand seal, her cloud-like sleeves shimmering like light and shadow, and said, "Forbidden."
As soon as the word was uttered, the old woman who had rushed forward suddenly seemed to have her heart stop, freezing in mid-air.
Chen Futu narrowed his eyes slightly, "This is a substitution technique, which uses absolute power to seal the opponent's true energy and meridian circulation."
"That's it, all bared and claws."
Yaoyue approached the old woman and, amidst the latter's terrified gaze, aimed her delicate hand at her brow. "Rotten wood, utterly vulnerable."
With a hum, Yaoyue's palm erupted with endless turbulent true energy, instantly annihilating the old woman.
The old woman screamed amidst the raging internal energy, a scene resembling a shockwave unleashed with a single hand.
"Sister Yaoyue, that's too powerful..."
Yan Xiaoxiao is numb.
That was a veteran martial arts master, and he was defeated in a single move.
Yan Xiaoxiao wasn't the only one filled with fear. The group of guys who had just been clamoring for the old woman to kill Yaoyue were now feeling a chill run down their spines.
"What level of skill does she possess?"
"Indescribable, too terrifying, could it be a Martial Saint King!"
To everyone's disbelief, the turbulent flow of true energy in mid-air exploded, and the old woman fell to the ground, her bones broken, barely clinging to life.
Yaoyue held back her strength, otherwise that old woman wouldn't even have been reduced to bone fragments.
The Saint King summoned by the system is far more powerful than the current level, while the old woman is old and frail. Facing a young Martial Saint King, she would be lucky to survive.
Before the old woman could land, Yaoyue teleported over and kicked her to Chen Futu's feet. Then, Yaoyue returned to Chen Futu's back, like a quiet and elegant maid, and said nothing more.
hiss--
The entire mountain range seemed to gasp in shock.
All eyes were focused on Chen Futu, and everyone realized that the stunningly beautiful and powerful woman was just a guard.
"Who is he? The Holy Emperor of Great Xia?"
"I don't know, but it's probably true."
Even a fool could guess that the other party's identity was not simple. Looking at the entire Li Continent, who was qualified to have a saint or even a saint king protect them? Only the most domineering emperor in the history of Li Continent.
Ignoring the clamor of the onlookers, Chen Futu looked down at the dying old woman with a cold and stern face, "Are you convinced?"
This is not a question, but a choice to be made; if you disagree, you die.
So what if he's a sage? With the current strength of the Great Xia Dynasty, the realm of sages will only grow larger. A mere, withered old sage? Let him be killed.
As they spoke, the group of Black Wind Cave elders who had been standing there in a daze came to their senses and charged forward with shouts of grief and indignation, "Grand Elder!"
"presumptuous!"
With a sharp look, Yaoyue waved her sleeve, and several powerful auras descended from the sky, overwhelming all the powerful figures and forcing them to their knees, unable to move. Some of the Martial Venerables couldn't withstand the aura of the Saint King and coughed up blood, fainting from exhaustion.
Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly nodded her gray head, "I submit..."
"That's good then. Let's go, Miss Yan, to the next cave."
Chen Futu gave the order, and only then did Yaoyue withdraw her oppressive aura. A group of Black Wind Cave experts collapsed to the ground like slumped mud.
Yan Xiaoxiao nodded mechanically, her head buzzing.
In the days that followed, the Ten Thousand Mountains were in complete chaos. The second to suffer was Zizhu Cave, whose chieftain was slapped into the mountain wall by Yaoyue and was so badly stuck that he couldn't be pried out.
Then there's Yaoyang Cave, Tianlan Cave...
In short, in order to establish Yaoyue's authority, Chen Futu not only found the unyielding chieftains, but also had those wavering chieftains beaten up by Yaoyue as well.
