The Prodigies War

Chapter 1847: The Weight of Emperor Power

On the utterly silent Whirlwind Ship, everyone wore different expressions.

The passengers on the ship were aware that Yu Xuan had killed several Primordial Dao Court experts, yet he was treated as a distinguished guest by Heavenly Sound Pavilion experts so nobody dared to touch him.

Kong Lin was speaking the truth when he said that Heavenly Sound Pavilion was shielding Yu Xuan.

Now, a group of cultivators have arrived from the Imperial Kong Clan and the closest star field, the Luminous King Star Field, was basically a territory of the Imperial Kong Clan.

It seemed like Yu Xuan…was going to meet his end!

“Haha, very good!” Kong Yu smiled, but the smile was particularly chilling.

Anyone could tell that he was infuriated!

Liang Chuan drew a deep breath and tried to explain, “Young Master Kong Yu, there’s more to this matter. It’s not what you think it is. Why don’t you come to the Heavenly Sound Pavilion hall so that I can explain it to you?”

“Forget it.” Kong Yu’s voice was ice-cold. “No wonder Whirlwind Ship did not stop at Brahma Land Great World. If I hadn’t caught up with you, you likely would have gotten away with it!”

Liang Chuan and the others all trembled inwardly, feeling bitter and helpless.

“Haha, a little Heavenly Sound Pavilion actually dared to help others to bully our Kong Clan. Do you all not want to live anymore?”

Behind Kong Yu, the middle-aged man in a white robe donned a sinister smile.

“Young Master, just say the word and I’ll get rid of all those bastards for you.” The green-robed old man spoke emotionlessly, but the murderous intent in his voice filled all cultivators on the ship with fear and their faces instantly turned pale.

“Young Master Kong Yu, we swear to heaven that we all have no intention of insulting the Kong Clan.” Liang Chuan still tried to explain.

He was a powerful quasi-Emperor, yet he was bowing his head and looking so weak and helpless.

Many people couldn’t help but sigh when they saw his excessive politeness.

So what if he is a Grand Elder of Heavenly Sound Pavilion?

In front of the Imperial Kong Clan, he is still nothing!

Kong Yu questioned coldly, “Where is that bitch Liu Qingyan?”

Kong Lin who was beside him immediately answered, “She is on the ship, being protected by Yu Xuan the whole time. If not, I would have captured that bitch long ago.”

PA!

Kong Yu slapped Kong Lin across the face, a terrifying look in his eyes. “Who are you to call her bitch?”

Kong Lin fell as silent as a winter cicada as he covered his red and swollen cheek with a dumbstruck look on his face.

Kong Yu turned to look at Liang Chuan and the others and his terrifyingly cold voice rang again,

“Go and kill Yu Xuan, and bring that bitch Liu Qingyan here. After that, I will give your Heavenly Sound Pavilion a chance to explain yourself. Remember, it is just a chance to explain. Whether or not you can live will depend on your performance!”

His authoritative voice allowed no one to disobey his command.

Liang Chuan and the others turned ashen-faced.

Kill Yu Xuan?

How would they dare?!

The scene of the farmer man subduing Old Monk Dukong with just three punches uncontrollably flashed across Liang Chuan’s mind.

He also thought of the scene of Sword Emperor Brave Gale, an old antique from the imperial Jintian Clan, bowing his head.

But…

Liang Chuan did not dare to utter a word!

The Heart Sealer Grass Seed had been planted in his mind. If he dared to speak a word of it, his mind would instantly collapse and his body obliterated!

“Martial Uncle Liang Chuan...”

All the higher-ups of Heavenly Sound Pavilion looked towards Liang Chuan with expressions of fear and pleading.

Liang Chuan’s expression changed indefinitely.

This was the first time in his life that he felt such torment, struggle, and helplessness.

He felt no different from an ant trying to survive within the crevices!

A pitiful and miserable look crossed his face and his lips trembled multiple times, but in the end he could only let out a long sigh.

“Young Master Kong Yu, I’m sorry I can’t obey your order!”

He seemed to exhaust all his strength to squeeze out those few words, showing endless melancholy.

Everyone who was watching felt the same way. Even someone as powerful as quasi-Emperor Liang Chuan was forced to such a state. Who would not be shocked?

Far away from the crowd, Lin Xun, who witnessed this scene, finally made a decision.

Liang Chuan could have pinned all the blame onto him, but he did not do so. He still chose to disobey the command even when threatened by the Imperial Kong Clan.

This action alone earned Lin Xun’s recognition.

He quietly walked forward.

Meanwhile, Kong Lin’s eyes widened with disbelief. “Old thing, you don’t know what’s good for you!”

Kong Yu’s face darkened, and he laughed angrily, “For the sake of Yu Xuan, it seems like your Heavenly Sound Pavilion is willing to sacrifice your lives. Good, very good!”

As he reached the end of the sentence, he could no longer control his fury and murderous intent. “No one from Heavenly Sound Pavilion will leave here alive today!”

“Young Master, leave it to us.”

The white-robed middle-aged man smiled and marched forward with the green-robed old man.

The atmosphere was palpable.

Everyone struggled to breathe properly.

Liang Chuan and other important figures from Heavenly Sound Pavilion all seemed to have lost all hope. In the end, they were still inevitably implicated.

But…what could they do?

They dared not offend Primordial Dao Court, they dared not offend the Imperial Jintian Clan, and they also could not afford to offend Yu Xuan!

From the beginning, they had restrained themselves and bowed their heads, but in the end, they still failed to survive the calamity…

Boom!

The white-robed middle-aged man and the green-robed old man launched into action, teleporting across the air and charging straight at Liang Chuan. Their cultivation of the quasi-Emperor Stage was fully demonstrated at that moment.

To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader! Once Liang Chuan was killed, the others were nothing but chickens to be slaughtered!

Liang Chuan, of course, would not just sit still and wait for death.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun, who had blended into the crowd, was also ready to take action.

It was at this moment a slender figure suddenly appeared, flicking his sleeve.

Bang! Bang!

With two dull thuds, the white-robed middle-aged man and the green-robed old man were blocked halfway by a terrifying force and blasted to the ground at the same time.

“Who is it?”

The white-robed middle-aged man’s expression dramatically changed.

“The Emperor Stage!”

The green-robed old man howled, voice tinged with terror.

The spectators in the distance were dumbfounded. How could two quasi-Emperors from the Imperial Kong Clan be overpowered so easily?

It all happened so fast that it caught everyone off guard.

However, when they saw the attacker, understanding dawned on them right away.

Liang Chuan and the others were already prepared to fight to the death, but at this moment, their stunned faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

When they clearly saw the attacker, all the anxiety and fear in their hearts were swept away.

Lin Xun, who was planning to take action, was also taken by surprise.

This was because the one who came to help was none other than Sword Emperor Brave Gale!

It should be mentioned that he had nothing to do with this matter; he could just take the role of a bystander and watch coldly from the sidelines.

Moreover, they were in the territory of the Imperial Kong Clan. Anyone who wanted to go against them must first weigh up the consequences and calculate the pros and cons.

Yet Sword Emperor Brave Gale still took action!

No one expected this at all.

“What a disappointment! He got there first. It seems like it’s really hard to do this favor...”

No one noticed that the hemp-clothed youth from the Xuan Clan had muttered something to himself.

No one also noticed that, before Sword Emperor Brave Gale made his move, an old woman was already standing quietly outside the courtyard of Guest Welcome Mountain.

When she saw Sword Emperor Brave Gale appear, the corners of her mouth twitched imperceptibly, as if she was a little annoyed that he had gotten there before her.

Meanwhile, Kong Yu was petrified.

An Emperor!

He never imagined that such a mighty figure was on board the ship.

The Imperial Kong Clan experts who came with him were all dumbfounded.

An Emperor was akin to a god-like existence. Even if they were from an ancient powerful clan like the Kong Clan, they still had no confidence to stand before him!

“Elder, our Imperial Kong Clan descendants had no idea that you were here. If we have offended you in any way, we hope you will forgive us.”

On the ground, the white-robed middle-aged man was sweating profusely as he pleaded in a trembling voice.

Before this, he acted arrogant and conceited, looking down on everyone, but at this moment, he was suppressed to the ground, trembling.

This was the power of the Emperor Stage!

Even if Sword Emperor Brave Gale had bowed his head before the farmer man, he was undoubtedly still a true Emperor, a mighty, towering existence that compelled the world to tremble before him and look up at him in awe.

“I have said before that whoever gives trouble to my little friend Yu Xuan is giving trouble to my Jintian Clan.” Sword Emperor Brave Gale’s calm voice struck Kong Yu and the others like a thunderbolt.

The Imperial Jintian Clan!

They were a colossal force as strong as their Kong Clan.

However, what was more unexpected was that the Jintian Clan took a clear stance in support of Yu Xuan!

At this moment, Kong Yu felt a strong urge to kill Kong Lin. That bastard did not tell me such an important thing before!

In the end, he held back, drew a deep breath and said respectfully, “I am Junior Kong Yu, I had no idea that Yu Xuan is under Elder’s protection. I hope you can forgive me.”

He bowed his head.

All the spectators were shocked by the scene. That’s the power of the Emperor Stage! Even someone with a noble identity like Kong Yu has to bow his head!

Sword Emperor Brave Gale spoke coldly, “A junior dares to behave so arrogantly. Do you believe that if I kill you right now, your elders might be unhappy, but they will not dare to challenge me because of it?”

Kong Yu visibly trembled, and his back and clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

How would he not believe it?

There were many descendants like him in the younger generation of the Imperial Kong Clan. Even if he was killed, would the higher-ups in the clan want to sour the relationship with the Jintian Clan just because of him?

No way!

After inhaling deeply, Kong Yu explained, “Elder, I only acted this way because Yu Xuan killed some disciples of our Primordial Dao Court...”

“Young man, are you trying to scare me with the Primordial Dao Court?” Sword Emperor Brave Gale coldly interrupted before he could finish.

Bang!

Before his voice faded, Kong Yu was forced to his knees by a terrifying force, feeling extremely humiliated.

“I dare not do that. Elder, please spare me!”

Kong Yu kowtowed. He was so terrified that his soul almost left his body. He realized that he had made a grave mistake.

How would a mighty figure like Sword Emperor Brave Gale care about the threat of a junior like him?

The people watching in the distance gasped.

No one imagined that Sword Emperor Brave Gale would protect Yu Xuan to the extent that he would completely disregard Kong Yu and everyone else from the Imperial Kong Clan!

As for Liang Chuan and others from Heavenly Sound Pavilion, they had fortunately benefited from their association with Yu Xuan and managed to escape the calamity.
