I Have Unlimited Dantians

Chapter 252: Chapter 239: Gathering

"Your Majesty?"

Seeing their father—the City Lord—react this way, both the young man and the Shopkeeper stood frozen on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

’This person before my eyes, the one I just questioned and mocked, is actually His Majesty the Emperor of the Divine Wind Empire?’

’Isn’t the Emperor of the Empire supposed to be a middle-aged man? How could he be this young?’

"You insolent whelp! Get on your knees and apologize to His Majesty Nie Yun this instant!" Yimo, the Tianxin City Lord, roared when he saw his son just standing there in a daze. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Others might not have known that the Divine Wind Empire had a new ruler, but as a City Lord, he had been informed long ago. The Empire had changed hands in a single day. ’If a subordinate can’t even recognize his own leader, he might as well be dead!’

Since he knew about the new Emperor, he was also well aware of how utterly ruthless this amiable-looking young man could be when he decided to act.

’The Fengg Family, the Mi Tian Sect, the Zhao Family, the Assassin Union... The youngest of these powers had a legacy stretching back centuries, yet this boy had uprooted them all in the blink of an eye. His methods were appallingly vicious!’

’And my own son, for no reason at all, just had to provoke him. Isn’t that just asking to be killed?’

Yimo couldn’t help the terror that gripped his heart at the thought.

"Nie Yun? Your Majesty? This... This..." The young man was truly panicking now. He hastily fell to his knees, utterly confused about the youth’s true identity.

’I don’t get it,’ he thought, completely bewildered. ’Isn’t Nie Yun just a highly talented Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse? How did he suddenly become the Emperor?’

"Enough. I don’t want word of my presence here getting out," Nie Yun said. Seeing the City Lord had recognized him actually saved him a lot of trouble. He gave his command, then added, "Arrange two private courtyards for us."

"Yes!"

Yimo hurried to make the arrangements.

With the City Lord’s help, it wasn’t long before the two most luxurious courtyards in the entire Tianxin Inn were tidied up and ready.

"Father, just now... what exactly was going on?" Following behind his father out of the Tianxin Hotel, the young man couldn’t resist asking.

"What was going on? You’ve brought disaster down on our heads! Hmph! Did you know that after battling three great masters in the Imperial Capital, Nie Yun annihilated the Assassin Union in one fell swoop? He then wiped out the Imperial Family and the Mi Tian Sect, and has now ascended the throne to become His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire!"

Yimo berated him.

"What? He destroyed the Assassin Union... the Mi Tian Sect... and the Imperial Family? This... this..."

The young man’s knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground with a THUD. Only now did he truly understand how terrifying that seemingly harmless youth was.

"It seems your status as Emperor comes in handy," Baihua Xiu said with a smile, pursing her lips as they entered the courtyard.

Nie Yun gave a dry laugh and shook his head. "Haha... Enough about me. We’ve been on the road for several days straight, you must be exhausted. Go get some rest."

"Mm... Looks like we won’t be resting after all. They’re here."

Baihua Xiu had been about to return to her own courtyard, but her gaze suddenly hardened as she stared off in a particular direction.

Following her gaze, Nie Yun also sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching.

"Not here. Let’s go out."

Baihua Xiu took the lead, heading out to meet the approaching auras, and Nie Yun followed close behind.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were outside the city, hovering above the sea.

SWOOSH!

A Sword Aura flickered. A line of Sword Qi sliced a long, white scar across the sky, rushing in from the horizon. The iridescent Sword Qi rippled over the surface of the water, kicking up enormous waves.

Suddenly, the sword light vanished, and a young man in white appeared before them.

The young man held a Longsword in a silver sheath between his clasped hands, its surface glinting with a Radiant light. His aura was as deep and vast as a mighty river. The fact that his True Qi remained so condensed and stable after moving at such high speed was a clear sign that his power had reached a terrifying level.

"I’m surprised to see you’re the first to arrive, Junior Sister Baihua..." The young man looked toward Baihua Xiu, a smirk playing on his lips. He was only halfway through his sentence when his eyes landed on Nie Yun. His brow furrowed, and his gaze turned cold and indifferent.

WHOOSH!

As he spoke, another sharp whistling sound echoed. A massive stone pillar appeared in the sky with two figures on top. In the front stood a man in green robes, his sleeves whipping in the wind. Behind him, another figure sat cross-legged, so still he seemed to be one with the stone.

The pillar was obviously not a refined weapon. Its ability to break through the sky was sustained by the True Qi of the man in green. To make such a massive pillar fly for so long, the depth and reserves of his True Qi had to be immense—perhaps even greater than Nie Yun’s!

’Terrifying!’

"Hehe, I didn’t expect everyone to be so early. It seems my sister and I are the late ones!"

The two men on the stone pillar had just risen to their feet when a crisp, musical voice drifted up from the surface of the sea.

When the first word was spoken, the voice was still dozens of kilometers away, but by the time the last word was said, two identically dressed women had appeared before everyone.

Both women were dressed in purple, and they were every bit as beautiful as Baihua Xiu. What was most striking, however, was that their faces were identical. They were clearly twins.

’Twins, and both at the Ultimate Venerable Peak.’ Even seeing it with his own eyes, Nie Yun found it hard to believe.

"Sisters Mu Qing and Mu Xia, your timing is perfect. We just arrived ourselves!" the white-robed man holding the sword said with a laugh.

"Yun Tong, let me make some introductions," Baihua Xiu began. "This master of Swordsmanship is my senior brother, the White-Robed Sword Saint, Muu Shengxue. The man in green who arrived on the stone pillar is the leader of our expedition, Young Master Qii Yang. He’s from the Qii Family of the Divine Holy Empire, so his status is quite extraordinary. The two sisters are Mu Qing and Mu Xia, the twins. And the one sitting behind them on the pillar must be the Soaring Water Master that Young Master Qii Yang invited."

After introducing everyone to Nie Yun, Baihua Xiu addressed the entire group.

"Everyone, this is a new friend I’ve brought along this time, Yun Tong. Although he’s a Loose Cultivator, his strength is quite formidable!"

"A Loose Cultivator?" Muu Shengxue was the first to speak, his hands clasped behind his back as his white robes billowed. "Hmph. Junior Sister Baihua, are you not aware that this journey to the Demon Saint Ruins is a matter of life and death? Are you trying to get us all killed by dragging along some useless burden?"

"We don’t need any dead weight," Mu Qing said as she covered her mouth with her hand and stretched languidly, shamelessly showing off her curvaceous figure. "If he’s not strong enough, we should just get rid of him here. He can’t come with us."

"Well said. Since it’s so dangerous, we can’t bring any dead weight that might endanger the group. You’re Muu Shengxue, right? I think *you’re* the dead weight. Why don’t you just stay here?"

Suddenly, Nie Yun lifted his head and looked directly at the White-Robed Sword Saint. His voice boomed across the water, so powerful it sent sprays of water into the air and made the waves churn.
