Chapter 146: Chapter 145: Knocking

Translator: 549690339

The Great Sui Dynasty, the Vast Sky Star Sect.

A blood mist scurries towards the mountain gate as if fleeing for its life. It falls from the sky before reaching its destination, and the disciples hidden within roll out.

Seeing this, the guarding disciples rush over to check the situation and are startled to find that it is their uncle master, Xuan Mingzi, who is utilizing the Blood Mist Escape Technique, even though he was at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Their Vast Sky Star Sect was a member of the Fearless Alliance, and due to having an elder ancestor at the Body Integration Realm, they held high status within the alliance. Who would dare to harm them?

Moreover, Xuan Mingzi held another role: he was the bodyguard of Lord Yu.

Seeing Xuan Mingzi terribly injured, they anxiously checked on Lord Yu. Finding that he was unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The Body Integration Realm ancestor of the Vast Sky Star Sect had countless descendants, but his favorite was undoubtedly Lord Yu, his great-grandson.

If anything were to happen to Lord Yu, the entire sect would be engulfed in the ancestor’s rage, and anyone could become a target.

Xuan Mingzi understood Lord Yu’s importance. Seeing that Yuan Wuxing was relentless and seemed like he would attack Lord Yu and the others, he decided to escape, regardless of his wounds, and take Lord Yu away. At that time, distinguishing who was Lord Yu wasn’t his priority.

If anything happened to Lord Yu, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape the ancestor’s wrath.

“Xuan Mingzi, why did we have to run? You’ve embarrassed me,” said Lord Yu, his expression dark. As the great-grandson highly favored by the elder ancestor, he didn’t think highly of Xuan Mingzi, merely considering him as his bodyguard and not his uncle master.

“Moreover, the Sword Tomb is about to open. Your antics have cost us time and we won’t be able to make it in now.”

Xuan Mingzi didn’t have the energy to argue. Mustering the rest of his strength, he explained to Lord Yu that if he didn’t make things clear, Lord Yu might hold it against him, which could lead to the ancestor’s wrath upon him.

“The adversary is truly a prodigy, their strength is too powerful. I’m no match for them, and they clearly don’t see us as a threat. If I hadn’t escaped with all of you, it’s likely more than just me would be injured…” Xuan Mingzi didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

Lord Yu frowned. Although he hadn’t been injured, he’d never been so disheveled before. Plus, he’d missed the Sword Tomb. If word got out, wouldn’t he be laughed at?

He didn’t think Yuan Wuxing had gone overboard. If Xuan Mingzi hadn’t been a coward, he would have definitely ordered Xuan Mingzi to beat Yuan Wuxing and his group into severe injuries.

As for who was in the right or wrong, it was laughable. How could there be right or wrong when faced with power? Even if he’d bumped into someone, if he were as powerful as the Human Emperor, the other party wouldn’t dare to talk about right or wrong. They would be busy apologizing to him.

In Lord Yu’s view, the so-called “Human Emperor being highly regarded by the nine zones” was merely him oppressing others due to his power, not because he won them over with reason. This was the principle his elder ancestor taught him.

The elder ancestor believed that the current Human Emperor appeared to be gentle but was in fact showing weakness. The idea that such a person could become the most powerful was truly against the natural order of things. That position should belong to ruthless people like him.

Being a mighty figure in the Body Integration Realm, the elder ancestor’s words were indisputable.

Take for example the Sword Pavilion. Whatever was said by the Sword Pavilion, which possessed the Sword Monarch, was always correct. When a senior ancestor of theirs had gotten beaten, they didn’t dare to fart and could only put on a smile, praising the Sword Monarch’s swordsmanship.

Yet, once the Sword Monarch was gone, whatever the Sword Pavilion did was wrong, with everyone suppressing it in fear of producing a second Sword Monarch.

This made Lord Yu understand one thing: there was no eternal principle, only eternal power.

Unfortunatelv, he didn’t have an talent to be considered as a candidate for the Human Emperor. Otherwise, Lord Yu would certainly compete for the position.

Xuan Mingzi and Lord Yu informed their elder ancestor, Yu Xingchen, about the incident.

Yu Xingchen was furious upon hearing the news. Inside the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, someone dared to look down on their Vast Sky Star Sect and the Fearless Alliance. Moreover, the opponent was only in the Nascent Soul Stage!

Even if Yuan Wuxing was a genius and invincible among his peers, as long as he hadn’t fully developed, Yu Xingchen wouldn’t regard him seriously.

As for whether it was Lord Yu who bumped into the person, Yu Xingchen didn’t care. He was about to issue an order to deploy men when someone clumsily handed him a name card.

It was from Commanding Officer Zhang of the Imperial Palace.

“Where is the person?” Yu Xingchen couldn’t see through the underlying meaning, as the name card was written very ornately.

“They’re waiting outside.”

“Absurd! How can a Commanding Officer from the Imperial Palace be kept waiting?” Yu Xingchen dismissed the disciple who delivered the message, put up a smile, and went out to greet his guest.

After eating his last bowl of food, Sun Konghu put the sea bowl back into his Storage Ring, thinking that Yu Xingchen should have received the name card by now.

Of course, Sun Konghu didn’t create the name card himself. Before leaving, he asked Commander Liu about what he should do.

Commander Liu was aware of Sun Konghu’s situation and therefore wrote the name card for him and taught him how to speak.

“Commander Sun, you have waited a long time. You could have come directly to me, no need to send a name card.”

Sun Konghu shook his head: “It’s the rule.”

Hypocrite, Yu Xingchen cursed in his heart, but his smile did not fade as he continued to ask, “What brings Leader Sun here?”

“Your Fearless Alliance is audacious to the extreme, posing a threat to the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor is magnanimous and merely intends to teach you a lesson,” Sun Konghu calmly recited the lines that Leader Liu had given him.

Leader Liu had said that the Imperial Palace was a place where reason prevailed. Before striking someone, the reasons should be explained so that they would not be struck without understanding why.

Zhang Konghu hadasked Leader Liu what the difference was between this and hitting someone for no reason. Would this really make members of the Fearless Alliance behave?

Considering Zhang Konghu’s comprehension, Leader Liu laughed and did not explain.

Yu Xingchen and Xuan Mingzi, who was following him, were taken aback, not Imowing who among the Fearless Alliance dared to threaten the Human Emperor. This person must not value his life.

Just say if you want to hit someone. This excuse is too perfunctory, right?

“Hurry up and get hit. I still have to visit the next family after hitting you.” That line wasn’t taught by Leader Liu.

Yu Xingchen also began to grow angry. Who, at the Body Integration Realm, was weaker than the other? Just because you belong to the Imperial Palace, you can act so brutally?

Still talking about reasoning, huh?

“Leader Sun, we all…”

Before Yu Xingchen could finish his sentence, Sun Konghu punched him, sending him flying.

Yu Xingchen was stunned by the heavy punch. As soon as he recovered a bit, he saw Sun Konghu fly over and throw another punch at him.

Only then did he realize that there was a significant difference even within the same Body Integration Realm.

Yu Xingchen activated the Star Maneuvering Technique. His skin turned pitch black, and he was gleaming dimly. Upon closer examination, one might find that these dim lights looked remarkably similar to the stars in the sky.

This was the most potent spell of the Vast Sky Star Sect, a Daoist technique reserved for significant contributors. It could gather the power of the stars in one’s body and could be used for both offense and defense. He was confident that he could hold his own against Sun Konghu.

Who could have expected that, without even a use of the witch tribe’s totem, Sun Konghu would shatter Yu Xingchen’s star-encrusted skin?

Yu Xingchen was repeatedly spat out blood as Sun Konghu beat him.

After Sun Konghu finished his beating, and recited his lines from memory, he turned around and sought the next house.

“Ancestor, are you alright?”

Seeing their ancestor covered in blood, Yu Shao was shocked. In his memory, the ancestor had always been invincible. How could he have been defeated so badly?

Even though Yu Xingchen was vomiting blood, as long as the root was not harmed, it would only be considered a minor injury for someone in the Body

Integration Realm. He would recover very quickly.

Zhang Konghu wouldn’t go as far as beating someone to death.

Yu Xingchen slumped and spoke, “Threatening the Human Emperor, what an arbitrary excuse. Yet they can use this excuse to launch an attack on us. It is clear that they are telling us that the Imperial Palace is unreasonable. So, what can you do about it?”

“The Human Emperor is warning us. We, the unreasonable ones, will bully those weaker than us. The Imperial Palace, also unreasonable, will bully us. The Imperial Palace hasn’t attacked because it was reasonable.”

“This is us experiencing the feeling of the weak.”

Yu Xingchen sighed, “The Vast Sky Star Sect should remain low profile.

Remember, be polite to everyone from now on.”

“Then this time, Yu Shao’s incident…” Xuan Mingzi tentatively asked.

Yu Xingchen glared at him: “He behaved rudely, isn’t that enough? Let him stay honest and humble when he’s outside. Perhaps the Human Emperor found him to be an eyesore, which is why someone was sent to teach the Fearless Alliance a lesson.”

“Let him cultivate hard for three years. He’s not allowed to leave the sect, keep away from women, tolerate humble food and drinks, and reflect on himself. If I hear he still continues his old ways, I’ll break his legs!”

Xuan Mingzi responded and withdrew.

The same scenario was being played out all over the Great Sui Dynasty. Those domineering sects were no longer able to bully others recklessly.

After this day, the Fearless Alliance quieted down..
