Chapter 982 - 983: None Shall Be Spared
Yang Fan's heart-wrenching scream instantly drew everyone's attention, and even though a sword light had just appeared, no one saw it clearly. As soon as the sword light vanished, Yang Fan's right arm was nowhere to be found, followed by his scream.
Yang Fan is a Martial Venerable with powerful cultivation, and someone capable of severing his arm with just a sword light is almost unheard of in the entire Immortal Realm, yet this improbable possibility has become possible.
Indeed, Yang Fan's arm was forcefully severed by the sudden sword light.
What's happening?
Swish~
In an instant, many eyes looked towards the endless void, and soon they saw a group of strange figures striding through the air. The reason they're dressed strangely is that each of them is in Western attire, vastly different from the clothes of the Immortal Realm.
Moreover, these people are not very old, around forty years old, and each has a profound gaze, especially the one walking in front, who seems even younger and extraordinarily handsome.
Where did these people come from? How strong are they?
At this moment, everyone has a glimpse of thought; in the Immortal Realm, there don't seem to be people dressed strangely like this. However, why did they appear here and sever Yang Fan's arm?
Moreover, their arrival made everyone in the Great Ming Immortal Sect feel as if they were locked by a terrifying aura.
"How can this be?" All the powerful figures of the Great Ming Immortal Sect were shocked; even those in the Martial Venerate Realm could sense the threatening aura from the newcomers — each of these strong figures is in the Martial Venerate Realm.
Especially the leading youth; one can't even see through his cultivation, for no other reason than that his aura is restrained — he appears to be a mortal, but is he really mortal?
If so, could he lead such a powerful group?
At this moment, both Southern King and Ling Xiao were dumbfounded because the sword aura that had just severed Yang Fan's arm made it clear that the newcomers might be enemies rather than friends. But what they don't understand is how a small Cangye Emperor could have so many formidable existences behind him?
Furthermore, these newcomers seem comparable to the power of an Immortal Kingdom.
Bear in mind, among the Five Immortal Capitals, none of the Five Great Immortal Kingdoms has so many formidable Martial Venerables.
Not only were they shocked, but even Cangye Emperor,断刃道, and those from the Haotian Sect were all bewildered — the Five Great Immortal Kingdoms reign supreme in the Immortal Realm, yet who would have thought there'd be such a force?
If there were even one Martial Emperor among them, they would absolutely be stronger than the Five Great Immortal Kingdoms.
Of course, these unexpected arrivals are naturally people from Tianyu International, a branch of the Celestial Capital, and the handsome young man leading them is Branch General Manager Gu Fengliu.
Gu Fengliu glanced at Xiao Tianyu, and seeing his calm gaze, as if he didn't recognize him, made him thoroughly understand that Xiao Tianyu didn't want to reveal his identity, so he'd left everything to Gu Fengliu to handle.
At this moment, a Martial Venerable from the Great Ming Immortal Sect stepped forward and clasped his fist towards Gu Fengliu: "Sir, we are people of the Great Ming Immortal Sect under Emperor Ming. We don't know what matters have disturbed you, and we beg your forgiveness!"
The Immortal Venerable's words were quite respectful; gone was the previous arrogant aura. However, this Martial Venerable was quite skillful in his speech, as he first mentioned Emperor Ming and then the Great Ming Immortal Sect, clearly attempting to use Emperor Ming's prestige to intimidate these people.
"Emperor Ming..." Gu Fengliu paused and then spoke, "I don't know who that is!"
Huh?
As soon as these words came out, many from the Great Ming Immortal Sect revealed astonished expressions. Was there really anyone under the heavens who didn't know who Emperor Ming was? It sounded rather laughable, but everyone knew that this young man simply wasn't putting Emperor Ming in his eyes.
If even Emperor Ming wasn't regarded, how strong was the foundation of the opponent? Did they really have a foundation so strong they could ignore Emperor Ming, or were they just pretending to be strong here?
Nevertheless, the Martial Venerable who had spoken earlier looked quite displeased.
He continued, "Sir, such words might be somewhat arrogant, don't you think?"
But Gu Fengliu ignored him and scanned the Imperial Palace of Cangye Kingdom, then said aloud, "Who is the Cangye Emperor?"
"I am!" Cangye Emperor straightened his wounded body, clasped his fist towards Gu Fengliu, and continued, "I don't know what business you have with me?"
"I have come under the command of my master to defend the imperial power of Cangye!" Gu Fengliu's voice was imposing, resonating through the void, leaving everyone bewildered. He came under his master's command to defend the imperial power of Cangye?
If that's the case, who is his master, and how powerful are they?
Furthermore, what is the connection between this mysterious force and Cangye Kingdom?
Now, numerous questions arose in the hearts of everyone present; this mysterious force, comparable to an entire kingdom, and yet the young man isn't even the leader — he has a master. Given that this master can lead so many Martial Venerables, this mysterious master must surely be an Emperor, right?
Especially the powerful figures of the Great Ming Immortal Sect, whose faces turned pale — couldn't be any paler — the other party came to defend the imperial power of Cangye, which means they are enemies of the Great Ming Immortal Sect?
At this moment, even the Cangye Emperor was a bit puzzled; this group came to defend the imperial power of Cangye, yet the Cangye Emperor himself claimed not to know these people at all, nor could he reach them, but the other party outright declared they came to defend the imperial power. Why?
The more Cangye Emperor thought about it, the more confused he was; these unexpected arrivals, each possessing cultivation above his own, yet traveled countless miles to assist him?
Nonetheless, this was a good thing for the Cangye Emperor.
Thus, the Cangye Emperor respectfully said to Gu Fengliu, "Thank you all!"
"No problem!" Gu Fengliu waved his hand, his demeanor quite carefree, and he continued, "How shall we deal with these traitorous rebels?"
Is this a judgment being declared?
Upon hearing this, Southern King and his son turned ashen-faced, trembling — with such a strong group assisting Cangye Emperor, they would have no chance at all.
"If possible, execute all traitorous rebels, including those from the Great Ming Immortal Sect!" Cangye Emperor's gaze erupted with a monstrous killing intent — given this opportunity, he wouldn't let it go, regardless of how strong the foundation of the Great Ming Immortal Sect was and how they might retaliate against him later, Cangye Emperor didn't care.
"Good!" After a moment, Gu Fengliu uttered a word, then spoke to the void, "Kill without mercy — leave no one alive!"
Kill without mercy — leave no one alive?
Is this madness?
Upon hearing this, the crowd was trembling, as if unable to believe what was unfolding before their eyes — one of the Five Great Immortal Sects in the Immortal Realm, the Great Ming Immortal Sect, had such strong roots, being the largest sect under Emperor Ming's seat, yet now someone said to them, "Kill without mercy — leave no one alive."
"Sir!" Yang Fan clutched the massive wound on his right shoulder, his expression ugly; he didn't want to die. Even with one arm lost, he was still a Martial Venerable, a formidable existence — how could he willingly die here?
He said, "We can talk; if we've offended, we can offer compensation — why eradicate us completely?"
"Yang Fan!" At this moment, 断刃道 snorted coldly, "You face this day too? When you acted despicably, did you consider now?"
