Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

A surging wave of Spiritual Power rippled out between heaven and earth.

An aged figure came walking on a sea of clouds. With long, flowing sleeves and a white beard and hair, he looked just like an Immortal descending to the mortal realm—a truly shocking sight!

”This is…”

Sensing the powerful aura spreading from the horizon, the expressions of all the experts present changed.

Only the members of the Yu family looked as if they were seeing a god, fanatical expressions appearing on their faces. They all shouted in loud voices, ”Welcome, old Patriarch!”

”It’s the Yu family’s old Patriarch, Yu Hongjue!”

Huo Qiguang’s expression turned grave as he spoke slowly.

”Why would that old geezer suddenly come to Kunlun Mountain?” Huo Wuji, standing to the side, asked in surprise.

”I don’t know his purpose, but if I’m not mistaken, he comes with ill intent!”

A glint appeared in Huo Qiguang’s eyes.

And things were just as he expected. Yu Hongjue’s roar, aged yet still full of vigor, suddenly rang in everyone’s ears.

”I have come here this time for one reason only: to avenge my grandson!”

”This boy killed my grandson. He must die!”

Yu Hongjue’s gaze, filled with chilling killing intent, fell upon the still-unconscious Ye Chen not far away. His voice, like a clap of thunder, echoed across the peak of Kunlun Mountain!

The experts present were all shocked by Yu Hongjue’s swift and aggressive attitude.

No one had expected that this old Patriarch, so renowned in the Black Triangle Region, would make no effort to hide his killing intent, immediately targeting Ye Chen the moment he arrived!

And with Yu Hongjue backing them, the factions that held grudges against Ye Chen felt greatly emboldened, no longer needing to act so timidly.

”Old man, are you planning to take advantage of his predicament?” Huo Qiguang asked coldly.

”What about it?”

”Are you looking to trade a few blows with these old bones of mine?”

Yu Hongjue’s attitude was unyielding, and he confronted Huo Qiguang head-on without any hesitation.

”Then let me see for myself if Old Patriarch Yu is still as sharp as ever!”

Huo Qiguang was completely unafraid, a cold light shooting from his eyes!

Seeing this, Huo Wuji, who stood to the side, grew worried. ’Yu Hongjue stepped into the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm many years ago. He’s a peerless expert who’s been famous in the Black Triangle Region for a long time. Although Huo Qiguang is also at the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, his experience is shallow compared to a veteran like Yu Hongjue. The foundation he’s built at this level is clearly inferior! Besides, so much time has passed. Who knows if he’s already a step ahead of Huo Qiguang and has glimpsed the Ninth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm! Even if he’s remained stagnant and failed to break through, this vigorous old Patriarch, with his cultivation and methods, would still have few rivals among Cultivators of the same realm in the Black Triangle Region!’

”You’ve got some nerve.”

Yu Hongjue glanced at Huo Qiguang with a mocking expression. ”It’s just that if you and I fight, we won’t determine a winner anytime soon.”

”And I don’t have that much time to waste on you.”

With that, his gaze suddenly shifted to the vast sea of clouds behind Kunlun Mountain, and he announced, ”Mr. Yun, it’s your turn to act.”

Hearing this, everyone looked over, their gazes filled with shock and doubt.

’Mr. Yun? Who on earth is he?’

’Even an old Patriarch like Yu Hongjue is speaking so respectfully. Could it be that this Mr. Yun is some other major figure with a shocking background?’

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a figure strode through the air from within the ethereal mist, appearing beside Yu Hongjue in an instant.

It was a middle-aged man with an overwhelming aura!

He wore a white robe, and his eyes—one black, one white—resembled a spinning taiji diagram, looking extremely unsettling.

”You’re… from the Xuanwu Tribe?”

Looking at the man’s attire, Huo Qiguang seemed to realize something and suddenly cried out in shock.

”The Xuanwu Tribe?”

The entire crowd was stunned by his words.

They were all experts from the Black Triangle Region, so they knew better than anyone what the Xuanwu Tribe represented.

If the nine major factions all stood at the pinnacle of the Black Triangle, each dominating a territory, then the Xuanwu Tribe was the most mysterious, unfathomable, and secretive among them.

It was known as the head of the nine major factions, inheriting the power of the ancient divine beast Xuanwu. Based in the deepest part of the Black Triangle, it ruled over all the others.

Don’t be fooled by how glorious the other eight major factions seemed, enjoying endless respect from the outside world; in reality, they all survived at the Xuanwu Tribe’s mercy!

It was no wonder, then, that all the experts wore such shocked expressions after learning that this Mr. Yun was from the Xuanwu Tribe.

Everyone knew the Xuanwu Tribe had the most powerful foundation and was also the most mysterious.

Ordinarily, it was difficult to even meet a Cultivator from the Xuanwu Tribe.

This time, for instance, all eight major factions of the Black Triangle Region had gathered on the peak of Kunlun Mountain, but the Xuanwu Tribe had been conspicuously absent.

No one had expected to see an expert from the Xuanwu Tribe now!

The mysterious man, whom Yu Hongjue had called Mr. Yun, merely glanced indifferently at the crowd before speaking in a detached tone, ”I have come here for one thing only.”

”And that is to take this young man back with me!”

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Ye Chen.

”Why?”

”He clearly has no connection to your Xuanwu Tribe!” Huo Susu asked, confused.

”You don’t need to know the reason.” Mr. Yun looked down on the crowd, his face devoid of any expression. ”Otherwise, the consequences will not be something you can bear.”

Hearing this, everyone’s hearts trembled, and they didn’t dare to make a sound.

This was a warning from the Xuanwu Tribe; they had no choice but to take it seriously!

”Hahaha! Did you hear that? I’m not the only one who plans to take this kid away!”

Yu Hongjue roared with laughter. ”Mr. Yun’s words are truly effective! If I had come alone, who knows how long I would have been tied up here.”

”And what if I don’t agree?”

However, what Yu Hongjue never expected was that Huo Qiguang’s attitude would be so incredibly unyielding!

Even when facing Mr. Yun from the Xuanwu Tribe, he refused to make the slightest concession!

The other experts cast looks of admiration at Huo Qiguang.

’Worthy of being the current Patriarch of the Huo family! He even dares to defy the Xuanwu Tribe. Truly admirable!’

”Oh?”

Mr. Yun was also a bit surprised, as if he hadn’t expected anyone to dare defy him. ”You must be the Huo family Patriarch, Huo Qiguang?”

”Do you really intend to make an enemy of my Xuanwu Tribe?”

Huo Qiguang’s brow furrowed deeply, but he did not speak.

The other experts from the Huo family all wore worried expressions.

Huo Qiguang was the Patriarch of the Huo family! His every word and action represented the will of the entire family!

If he angered Mr. Yun, it would very likely bring a terrible disaster upon the Huo family! This forced Huo Qiguang to be extremely cautious!

Huo Wuji also clenched his teeth, feeling completely at a loss.

Facing the pressure from the Xuanwu Tribe, they all felt an immense weight upon them.
