Chapter 245: Chapter 232: You Are Your Majesty?
"Your Sect Leader? Heh, your Sect Leader is already dead! You can all go join him!"
With a faint smile, Nie Yun flipped his longsword and brought it smashing down.
CRACK!
With a crisp sound like popping beans, the three Ultimate Venerables and the one Demon Beast had their brains burst out, dying instantly.
Cutting the weeds and digging up the roots had always been Nie Yun’s principle. Since these people wanted to die, there was no reason to go easy on them.
"So strong..."
Seeing the boy’s methods and power, Feng Xiao, Yangg Yan, and the old man all trembled, their faces filled with awe and terror.
He had taken on the entire Mi Tian Sect all by himself. Before, this was something they couldn’t even imagine, but now... it was happening right before their very eyes.
Although Feng Xiao and Yangg Yan had long known that Nie Yun’s strength was not to be underestimated, they never imagined he would be *this* strong!
So strong it was beyond imagination!
"Royal Family’s weapons, Secret Manuals, precious Elixirs... Hmm? There are even Spirit Stones, more than ten thousand of them. Not bad, not bad at all. The Mi Tian Sect really lived up to its name!"
Leading Feng Xiao and the other two, he quickly arrived at the Mi Tian Sect’s Treasure Hall. Nie Yun gave it a casual glance and immediately broke into a smile.
As the number one Sect in the Divine Wind Empire, the Mi Tian Sect had naturally amassed a great deal of treasure over the years. There were over ten thousand Spirit Stones alone! He had just run out of Spirit Stones and was worried his Cultivation would slow down, and now he had obtained so many. It was truly a case of someone handing you a pillow when you’re sleepy—perfect timing!
As for Gold Coins, there were too many to count—not just tens of millions, but hundreds of millions.
However, for an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse like Nie Yun, money no longer had any practical use, so it didn’t arouse much of his interest.
"Hmm? A Purple Splendor Jade Seal? There’s a Purple Splendor Jade Seal here too?"
Suddenly, Nie Yun’s eyes fell upon a purplish-red jade tablet, and a look of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face.
The Purple Splendor Jade Seal was the key to opening the Zihua Cave Mansion. There were three in total. He had obtained one before in Jibei City and had thought it would take a great deal of time to find another. He never expected to find one in the Mi Tian Sect’s Treasure Vault!
Now that he had two of the three keys, he could open the Zihua Cave Mansion himself as soon as he found the third one and claim the treasures within!
The Techniques and Cultivation Techniques contained within the Zihua Cave Mansion weren’t of much use to him, but the treasure that could increase one’s chances of advancing to the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm was something he absolutely had to obtain!
"Collect!"
Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Nie Yun made a grabbing motion with his large hand. His Storage Dantian opened, and he sucked all the treasures in the entire hall inside.
The Storage Dantian, like his other talents, expanded as his Cultivation increased. When he first awakened it, it was only the size of two or three rooms. Now that he had reached the Ultimate Venerable Level, it was the size of several hundred rooms. Although the Mi Tian Sect had many treasures, they all fit inside with ease.
’A Storage Dantian? He possesses a special talent?’
Seeing the young man collect all the treasures in an instant, the old man who was with Feng Xiao and the others stared with wide eyes, as if he couldn’t believe it.
"The remaining members of the Mi Tian Sect are no longer a threat to you. You’re free now!"
Storage Dantians were extremely rare, so Nie Yun knew why the man was shocked. He just smiled faintly and didn’t elaborate.
This man had been imprisoned in the same cell as Feng Xiao and Yangg Yan but hadn’t harmed them. Since Nie Yun wasn’t a bloodthirsty person, he naturally wouldn’t act against him.
"Lord Nie Yun, I, Luoo Xiaofeng, have no home to return to. I am willing to follow you to the death!"
Hearing the young man’s words, the old man hesitated for a moment before suddenly kneeling on the ground.
After being locked in a prison cell for over thirty years, he had completely lost touch with the world and his ability to survive in it.
"Luoo Xiaofeng? Do you happen to know Luoo Zhanhao?" Nie Yun was taken aback.
’Although there are many people with the surname Luoo in the world, there aren’t that many in the Divine Wind Empire. Perhaps this Luoo Xiaofeng was also captured because of the matter with the Luoo Qu Tomb.’
"Luoo Zhanhao? I’ve been locked in here for over thirty years. I don’t know anyone named Luoo Zhanhao..." Luoo Xiaofeng shook his head.
"Over thirty years?" Nie Yun shook his head.
’Although Luoo Zhanhao wasn’t young, he was probably only a child of a few years old more than thirty years ago. Luoo Xiaofeng was captured back then, so they shouldn’t know each other. As for what Luoo Zhanhao’s father was called, Nie Yun didn’t know either, so he couldn’t press the matter.’
"Lord Nie Yun..." Seeing the young man shake his head, Luoo Xiaofeng thought he was being rejected and an anxious look appeared on his face.
"Heh, you’re a Peak Powerhouse of Qi Sect. It just so happens that I don’t have time to teach these two myself. You can instruct them and help them improve their strength sooner!"
This old man named Luoo Xiaofeng had already reached the Peak of Qi Sect. With a little guidance, he could potentially break through and become an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse. For Nie Yun, the more people like this he had, the better; he wouldn’t mind a few more.
’It’s just that he’s a dignified old man with a full beard and plenty of wrinkles, yet his name is "Xiaofong." No matter how I look at it, I can’t connect him with the word "little."’
"Thank you, My Lord!" Luoo Xiaofeng nodded his head repeatedly in excitement.
He had thought about escaping while imprisoned in the Mi Tian Sect, but after watching person after person, all stronger than him, die before his eyes, his will to escape had long since faded. Now, not only could he get out, but he could also follow an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse. He was so excited he was at a loss for words.
"Alright, let’s head back to Divine Wind City!"
As the former number one Sect, the Mi Tian Sect had deep foundations. Nie Yun naturally wasn’t comfortable letting them off so easily. He mentally commanded the Wind Wolf King, Zi Tong, and Hei Yan to kill everyone who remained. Only then did he grab Yangg Yan and the other two and fly off in the direction of Divine Wind City.
"Nie Yun, just now I heard some of them call you Lord King Yun. Have you been made a Sealed King?"
Remembering the conversation between the few Mi Tian Sect members earlier, Yangg Yan couldn’t help but ask.
Being made a Sealed King or a Sealed Marquis was something every subject of the Empire dreamed of. If Nie Yun really had been made a Sealed King, he could absolutely use his Ultimate Venerable strength to demand a fiefdom. Within that fiefdom, he could establish his own army. That way, no one would dare say a word even if he continued to develop Luoshui City!
It was no wonder Yangg Yan thought this way. He had grown up in Luoshui City, and the highest-ranking official he had ever known was the City Lord, Luoo Zhanhao. Now that his good friend had been made a Sealed King, he could hardly contain his excitement.
"A Sealed King? That did happen, yes." Nie Yun knew what he was thinking and chuckled. Afraid of scaring them, he didn’t explain any further.
"What rights did the Emperor of the Empire give you? Did he grant you a territory? Money and a mansion are minor things. With your Ultimate Venerable strength, you must get a fiefdom! That’s what’s most important. Mmm, right, you should ask for the area around Xialuo Mountain. That way, our Luoshui City would be inside it!" Yangg Yan hurriedly voiced his concerns, his eyes shining brightly as he spoke excitedly. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Grant a territory? Are you thinking of raising soldiers in that territory? Yangg Yan, I’d say you should forget about it. His Majesty the Emperor of the Divine Wind Empire is shrewd and ruthless; he would never allow anyone to raise a private army. I once heard that a Prince who secretly raised an army was crushed. It’s better for us to keep a low profile!"
Feng Xiao shook his head.
"You’re from Luoshui City..." Luoo Xiaofeng sank into thought upon hearing Yangg Yan’s words, but after a moment, he too shook his head and continued, "Feng Xiao is right. Lord Nie Yun, you must be extremely careful of this Emperor of the Empire. He is sinister and vicious and capable of anything. Although you are very powerful, you must still be on your guard!"
"It’s fine. Let’s go to the Imperial City first. You three suffered a lot in the Mi Tian Sect. I’ll take you somewhere to rest!" Fearing the three of them wouldn’t be able to handle it, Nie Yun didn’t tell them that he had already killed His Majesty the Emperor.
’Killing the Emperor, leading Demon Beasts to besiege the Imperial Capital, slaughtering all of an Empire’s Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses... Any one of these things would be enough to make a person’s heart stop. These three have only just been freed from their suffering. I’m really afraid if I tell them the truth, it’ll scare them to death.’
"Go to the Imperial City? Lord Nie Yun, the Empire has rules. Flying over it so openly is disrespectful to the Emperor. If we anger the Emperor and he decides to make trouble for us, we’ll be in deep!"
"That’s right, we should be more careful. The Emperor of the Empire rules a nation and has immense military power at his command. Even if you’re strong, Nie Yun, two fists are no match for four hands. You might not necessarily win!"
Seeing the young man flying recklessly and unscrupulously through the air with them in tow, Luoo Xiaofeng and Feng Xiao both tried to dissuade him.
"What’s there to be afraid of? Nie Yun is an Ultimate Venerable, an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse at the Peak of Qi Sea, and he’s also King Yun! Even if the Emperor is powerful, what can he do?" Yangg Yan, unfamiliar with many of the rules, was unconcerned.
"Yangg Yan, you don’t understand. What does the Emperor of the Empire fear most? Of course he fears his subordinates being stronger than him! Although Nie Yun is an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse, he’s still just one person. He can’t possibly fight against an entire Empire! I think we should keep a low profile. Once we have our own soldiers and our own foundation, it won’t be too late to be arrogant then!" Feng Xiao glanced at Yangg Yan and shook his head.
In his eyes, Yangg Yan was just a brute. If a single Ordinary Venerable could act arrogantly throughout the Empire, the Divine Wind Empire would never have been established and stood for so many years!
"Alright, we’re here..."
Seeing the two of them arguing endlessly, Nie Yun was amused and spoke casually. freēwēbnovel.com
Only then did Feng Xiao and Yangg Yan realize that while they had been talking, Nie Yun had already brought them to the skies above the Imperial City. Without stopping at all, he was now planning to fly them towards the Imperial Palace.
"Ah... Lord Nie Yun, flying straight in like this is an act of high treason! We’ll definitely be surrounded and killed by the Imperial Guard..."
Seeing the young man fly in without any hesitation, Luoo Xiaofeng was also startled, and his face turned extremely grim.
The Imperial Palace was the Emperor’s lair. Even the most favored Prince would be surrounded and killed for barging in like this. There was no doubt about it!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a resounding shout came from below. Dozens of ministers, along with countless members of the Imperial Guard, were kneeling on the ground, their attitudes reverent.
"Greetings... Your Majesty... Where is Your Majesty?"
Hearing the thunderous shouts from below, Luoo Xiaofeng, Feng Xiao, and Yangg Yan all trembled. They looked around, trying to find the so-called "Your Majesty" they were shouting about. However, when they followed everyone’s gaze and their eyes landed on Nie Yun, they all froze.
"Nie Yun... You’re... His Majesty the Emperor?"
"You’re the Emperor of the Divine Wind Empire?"
Trembling voices came from all three of them at the same time. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
