Chapter 1723: Ye City Is About to Change
"Qingshan, break his arms and legs!"
A voice devoid of any emotion came from Yun Xiao’s mouth, causing everyone to tremble, while recalling Gu Yan’s words earlier, thinking that indeed, one must face the consequences of their own actions.
The spectators, too, witnessed the young boy in plain clothes, who despite his age, exhibited an extremely ruthless and decisive temperament. This act of repaying someone in their own coin is, strictly speaking, not inappropriate.
But when this is happening to the Ye City Emperor Palace’s Second Elder, Gu Yan, everyone’s feelings became somewhat different, especially the Emperor Palace’s Great Elder, Chunyu Qing.
"You brat, dare you!"
Seeing the youth named Qingshan excitedly agreeing and walking towards Gu Yan, Chunyu Qing was exceptionally furious, suddenly shouting out.
Although Yun Xiao had just incapacitated the Heavenly Realm Early Stage Gu Yan with one kick, Chunyu Qing wasn’t too worried, as he believed he could achieve the same result himself.
Chunyu Qing thought the boy in plain clothes deliberately feigned weakness before striking, concealing his true Meridian Qi Cultivation through some method, making it undetectable.
Therefore, Chunyu Qing believed that Gu Yan was simply caught off guard, and the boy struck unexpectedly, achieving success. The boy’s cultivation may not be stronger than Gu Yan’s, let alone his own Heavenly Realm Middle Stage.
Chunyu Qing had always been a dominant figure in Ye City, superior to the former Hidden Blade Sect Leader and Jade Sword Sect Master, never considering them a threat.
Now, being challenged by two inexperienced boys who not only destroyed the Empress Statue but also incapacitated Second Elder Gu Yan, if he doesn’t regain face, he will face severe questioning from the Lord Supervisor upon his return.
Thus, logically and emotionally, Chunyu Qing couldn’t let these two youths go, determined to make them pay a heavy price for their actions.
"Qingshan, do what you need to do, don’t mind him!"
Seeing Xu Qingshan slightly hesitate because of Chunyu Qing’s words, Yun Xiao softly spoke again, provoking Chunyu Qing to lose control and erupt immediately.
"With this Elder here, you cannot succeed!"
Filled with confidence, Chunyu Qing stepped forward, blocking Xu Qingshan’s path, deciding that if Qingshan dared to take another step, he would let him experience the pain of a broken Dantian.
To someone only at the Lingyun Realm Early Stage, Chunyu Qing had no concerns. Today, these two dare to provoke the Emperor Palace, they surely won’t leave alive.
Swish!
However, just as Chunyu Qing stood firm, intending to incapacitate Xu Qingshan, a swift sound of wind suddenly occurred, and a gray shadow flashed, making him instinctively alert.
"Good timing!"
Despite the speed of the gray shadow, Chunyu Qing, with his keen senses, immediately saw that it was that boy in plain clothes who had attacked Gu Yan, and loudly shouted.
Chunyu Qing thought he was more than twice as strong as Gu Yan. Although the boy in plain clothes was fast, he didn’t expect to lose, at least not in one strike.
Unfortunately, Chunyu Qing overestimated himself and underestimated the boy, so even with full defense, he followed in Gu Yan’s footsteps in the next moment.
Bang!
A somewhat familiar sound was heard, and then the Emperor Palace’s Great Elder, a Heavenly Realm Middle Stage expert, curled up like a shrimp, uncontrollably knocked backward.
Coincidentally, Chunyu Qing landed right where Gu Yan was, colliding into him, turning the two true power Elders of the Emperor Palace into a tangled mess.
"This..."
Witnessing this, countless people were stunned, jaws dropping, unable to believe what they saw, as it was truly terrifying.
They initially thought the two young boys were at most in the Floating Life Realm. At a higher view, they might be at the Lingyun Realm, but never could be rivals of Heavenly Realm experts.
However, now, both the Heavenly Realm Early Stage Gu Yan and Heavenly Realm Middle Stage Chunyu Qing were incapacitated by a single kick from that boy in plain clothes, becoming disabled with broken Dantians.
Such a powerful young talent was unheard of among the Ye City Cultivators. Many cultivators instinctively retreated dozens of meters, afraid of incurring the boy’s wrath.
Even the Floating Life Realm Early Stage elder, whose legs were broken by Xu Qingshan earlier, scrambled away using his hands, feeling a deep sense of relief.
Because the tragic state of the two Emperor Palace Elders over there was seen by this person, compared to the Dantian being crippled and becoming a useless person thereafter, just having one’s legs broken was not such a big deal, was it?
At least after the legs are broken, they can be reconnected, but if the Dantian is shattered, the body’s Meridian Qi would be non-existent, with no path to cultivation. Even if the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud had some world-defying treasures that could repair the Dantian, how could someone like Chunyu Qing ever acquire them?
For a moment, silence enveloped the front of the Ye City Emperor Palace; no one knew where the raggedly clothed young man had come from. At most, they recognized only Xu Qingshan.
But the strongest of the Hidden Blade Sect in the past seemed to be only Xu Shitong at the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage. Even that person, when facing Chunyu Qing, who was at the same Heavenly Realm Middle Stage, would probably be at a disadvantage.
"This Ye City is about to change!"
An elderly man with graying hair muttered, feeling emotional. Ye City had just undergone a change not long ago, and now, within a mere two months, such a dramatic incident had occurred once again.
Crack! Crack!
Crack! Crack!
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the sound of bones breaking rang out. It turned out that Xu Qingshan, following the orders of his ancestor, stepped forward and directly broke all the limbs of Gu Yan.
And as Xu Qingshan moved automatically, he also broke all the limbs of the Emperor Palace’s Great Elder Chunyu Qing, causing these two former Heavenly Realm Elders to let out screams of agony.
Such an event might have never happened since the founding of the Ye City Emperor Palace. Dignified as the Great Elder and the Second Elder were, they had never been beaten so brutally; it was simply unimaginable.
"Qingshan, do you know what to do next?"
Yun Xiao paid no mind to others’ opinions and spoke coldly again, causing Xu Qingshan’s face to light up with excitement. He extended his right hand, and a flame appeared.
At this moment, Xu Qingshan felt as if he was dreaming. He never thought it would be so easy. The two high and mighty Heavenly Realm Elders from the Emperor Palace were, in the end, so vulnerable.
Watching Chunyu Qing and Gu Yan screaming on the ground like dogs, Xu Qingshan felt a surge of satisfaction, thinking he was about to repeat the old trick and set the Ye City Emperor Palace ablaze.
"Boy, won’t you stop?"
Just as the flames on Xu Qingshan’s right hand were about to be thrown into the Emperor Palace, a harsh voice suddenly sounded from somewhere, drawing everyone’s attention.
Upon looking, the faces of everyone varied. Compared to the bystanders, the faces of the Emperor Palace cultivators were filled with joy.
"The Lord Supervisor has returned!"
The Guard Captain, with keen eyes, although the figure in the distance was still somewhat blurry, had no doubts after hearing the voice. He cheered directly.
If there was still a sliver of hope left in the minds of these Emperor Palace cultivators, it was none other than Liu Wenzong, the foremost figure of the Ye City Emperor Palace, a Super Expert at the Heavenly Realm Late Stage.
Within the Great Rank Level of the Heavenly Realm, the gap between each small realm is vast. A hundred cultivators at the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage might not even be able to kill one expert at the Heavenly Realm Late Stage.
Liu Wenzong was the foremost figure in the Ye City cultivation world. Previously serving as the director of the Emperor Palace, these cultivators seldom saw him in action, yet some rumors had already been deeply imprinted in their minds.
At this moment, as the Emperor Palace was on the brink of disaster, Liu Wenzong suddenly hurried back. It seemed today’s situation was about to undergo some unknown change.
Even though Yun Xiao had easily crippled Gu Yan and Chunyu Qing before, these local cultivators of Ye City still did not believe he truly had the strength to challenge Liu Wenzong.
Particularly those Emperor Palace cultivators, who had a blind trust in Liu Wenzong, feeling that once the Lord Supervisor arrived, all troubles would dissolve effortlessly.
In their hearts, Liu Wenzong was omnipotent, at least within the boundaries of Ye City. One could say that Liu Wenzong’s return elevated their confidence to an ultimate level.
The one who came was indeed Liu Wenzong, the director of the Ye City Emperor Palace, yet as soon as he arrived, his face turned extremely grim upon seeing the tragic conditions of Chunyu Qing and Gu Yan.
The Great Elder and the Second Elder of the Emperor Palace had their limbs completely shattered. The faint aura that emanated from them indicated that their Dantians were broken, making it impossible for them to cultivate Meridian Qi again.
Chunyu Qing and Gu Yan, these two Heavenly Realm Elders, had always been Liu Wenzong’s right-hand men, cultivated with great effort. Now that both had turned into cripples, how could he remain calm?
"Boy, no matter who you are, for daring to harm the elders of my Emperor Palace, you have only one outcome today, and that is death!"
A voice filled with extreme rage came out of Liu Wenzong’s mouth, finally drawing Yun Xiao’s gaze to the sky. Their eyes met, as if striking sparks in the air.
