Chapter 316: Coercion!
In just a few days, the gates of the Eight Directions World were completely opened, and the eight worlds that were originally isolated from the Nine Continents Mainland were once again united with it. From now on, there would be no boundaries between the Eight Directions World and the Nine Continents Mainland, allowing anyone to enter the Nine Continents Mainland freely.
However, not all people from the Eight Directions World entered the Nine Continents Mainland. If it were only the Cultivators, it would be fine, but ordinary people still made up the vast majority in each world. It was impossible for all those ordinary people to move over at once, so most of them remained in their original places. After all, with the two worlds now merged, it didn't matter where they lived.
Sun Zhe did not continue to stay in Thunder Continent; he had already resolved everything there. The Sun Family's great revenge had been avenged, and aside from a few friends from back then, there was nothing left in Thunder Continent that he cherished. Accompanied by Nie Yuan and Martial Law, Sun Zhe headed towards Blade Domain.
At this point, nearly four months had passed since he left the Nine Continents. When he departed, Old Domain Master had informed him that the Demon Army would arrive in a year. Calculating this way, there were only eight months left until the Demon Army's arrival.
Eight months may seem long—over two hundred days—but in reality, it would pass in the blink of an eye.
After advancing to Holy Rank and mastering the Void Splitting Technique, Sun Zhe's speed was much faster than that of Nie Yuan and Martial Law. He no longer delayed their pace as he did at first. The three of them traveled from Zhao Kingdom to Chu Kingdom in just half the time. Upon reaching the Blade Domain Entrance, they were surprised to find that the Concealment Formation at the entrance had been lifted. The entrance to Blade Domain was now clearly visible before them, guarded by more than a dozen experts from Blade Domain.
After inquiring, Sun Zhe learned that during his absence from Nine Continents, various major forces within Nine Continents had emerged one after another to prepare for the impending war. Aside from War Clan fully deploying their sealing formations, all forces from the Eight Directions World had descended. The hidden strengths of the Nine Great Empires were also revealed, with Blade Domain, Daoism, and Witch Clan all lifting their Concealment Formations. The Three Ancient Clans that had occupied Overseas Islands also returned.
In summary, all powers that had been hidden within Nine Continents World were now exposed, all for the upcoming battle.
After spending some time in Blade Domain, Sun Zhe shared most of his experiences with Old Domain Master, especially regarding the unauthorized use of so many materials. However, Old Domain Master did not seem to care much; instead, he showed some interest in how Sun Zhe had crafted so many Reanimation Techniques. Of course, Old Domain Master's interest was merely mild; such Reanimation Techniques were just burdens for him.
Next, Sun Zhe bid farewell to Nie Yuan and others before leaving Blade Domain alone. This time Old Domain Master did not assign any bodyguards to Sun Zhe since his strength combined with so many Reanimation Techniques meant he could escape even against mid-level Divine Realm opponents. If such powerful experts truly targeted Sun Zhe, Old Domain Master could arrive instantly; after all, within this world of Nine Continents, he could appear anywhere in an instant—this was the extraordinary power of an Ancestral God Realm expert!
This time Sun Zhe's destination was Qi Kingdom. He did not intend to enter Wings of Wind Continent through Qi Kingdom but simply wanted to find someone—a person who had been waiting for him for a long time.
………………
In the southern part of Qi Kingdom lay a large city called Windguard City. Although Windguard City could not compare to those capital cities of kingdoms in size, it was certainly on par with many ordinary cities. Windguard City had only recently been constructed and its master was not a person from Qi Kingdom but a powerful individual from Wings of Wind Continent.
Windguard City was strategically located next to the spatial gate. The powerful individuals from Wings of Wind Continent stationed there were responsible for guarding this gate. Before it opened, only several hundred young elites who had originally descended were stationed here; among them, the strongest was Feng Yu at mid-Emperor Level. However, with the opening of the gate, Wings of Wind Continent immediately stationed one hundred thousand elite Cultivators here, including several thousand top experts led by a strong individual who had reached Divine Realm.
"Sister, you should leave with us."
The voice of the Aged echoed within the City Lord's Mansion, as a white-haired Old Crone gazed faintly at the figure before her, Tang Yuexi, who resembled a celestial maiden. A mysterious light flickered in her murky eyes; her expression bore no hint of coercion, yet the meaning behind her words was unmistakably one that could not be refused.
In addition to the two of them, there were over ten others present in the mansion. Two Middle-Aged Women stood behind the Old Crone, while two more flanked Tang Yuexi. Feng Ling and Feng Yu were also among them, but they could only stand in the corner of the mansion, not daring to utter a word.
The siblings Feng Yu were both direct disciples of the Wings of Wind Continent's Wind God Sect and naturally recognized the identities of these five individuals. Setting aside the white-haired Old Crone for now, the four Middle-Aged Women were all protectors of the Wind God Sect. The most basic requirement for being a protector was to reach Mid Saint Level, meaning these four were at least four Mid Saint Level powerhouses.
Although they were all elite talents, they were merely that—elite talents, not top-tier experts. In front of those at Saint Level, they were like children who had yet to grow up; even a single Holy Rank protector could easily handle all of them.
As for the white-haired Old Crone, none of them had seen her before, but they all recognized the token hanging from her waist. This white-haired Old Crone was indeed one of the few elders of the Wind God Sect—not just an ordinary Elder Steward but a Grand Elder who had reached Divine Realm!
Upon hearing the Old Crone's words, Tang Yuexi turned her face and calmly regarded this Supreme Combat Body before her. Others may not recognize this Old Crone, but she did. This Old Crone was nicknamed Black Wind Granny, known for her formidable strength and ruthless methods—one of the top experts within the Wings of Wind Continent's Wind God Sect and a true powerhouse who had reached Divine Realm.
"I won't leave!"
Despite knowing the identity of this Old Crone, there was no trace of fear or trepidation in Tang Yuexi's expression. She spoke with extreme calmness; her response consisted of only three words, yet they rang out with conviction and left no room for negotiation.
Upon hearing Tang Yuexi's reply, Black Wind Granny's brows furrowed slightly. A hint of impatience flashed across her withered face as her voice turned cold.
"Sister, you should know my methods. Moreover, this is also the command of the leader; you must understand that you have no room to refuse. Even if I use certain methods, the leader cannot blame me."
Before joining Wind God Sect, Black Wind Granny was merely a Loose Cultivator. Her ability to cultivate to Divine Realm as a Loose Cultivator showcased her strength. However, alongside her exceptional qualifications, she possessed a personality that was colder and more eccentric than most. Countless people had died at her hands; later on, forced by enemies with no other choice, she had to join Wind God Sect. Although she had mellowed somewhat after many years in Wind God Sect, it did not mean that her temper had improved significantly.
"Grand Elder, sister she..." Seeing impatience gradually appear on Black Wind Granny's face while Tang Yuexi remained calm as water, Feng Ling grew anxious and stepped forward to speak up. However, before she could finish her sentence, a black beam of light struck fiercely against her chest.
"Poof..."
A mouthful of crimson blood gushed forth as Feng Ling faced Black Wind Granny's attack with only Emperor Level cultivation and no means to resist. She immediately flew away like a kite with its string cut and crashed against the wall with a loud bang before falling to the ground.
"Sister..."
"Junior Sister Feng..."
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the few people standing beside Feng Yu changed immediately, and they rushed towards the unconscious Feng Ling on the ground.
"Hmph, when did it become your turn to interrupt, girl? All of you get out!" A cold voice came from Black Wind Granny, speaking icily to Feng Yu and the others.
"Yes, Elder." Feng Yu gritted her teeth, tightly clenching her fists. She took a deep breath to suppress the raging anger in her heart, picked up her severely injured sister, and walked towards the hall exit. The others, hearing Black Wind Granny's words, also felt a chill run through them and followed closely behind Feng Yu as they left.
"Wait a minute, I meant for you all to leave, not her!" The withered finger pointed directly at the unconscious Feng Ling. She clearly intended to use Feng Ling to threaten Tang Yuexi. Since Feng Ling had stood up for Tang Yuexi, their relationship was naturally good, and she could see this at a glance.
"Black Wind Granny, are you threatening me?" Seeing that Feng Ling was injured because of her, Tang Yuexi's previously calm expression finally changed. She coldly looked at Black Wind Granny standing in front of her, her ethereal voice now tinged with obvious anger.
"I am still the Saintess of the Wind God Sect. According to the sect rules, although you are the Grand Elder, you should still follow my orders. Do you really want to defy me?"
"The old woman only knows that strength is paramount; those sect rules are just for show. Besides, do you really think you can remain as Saintess for much longer? You should know your own situation better than I do. Some things need not be said by me. Well then, since that's the case, I won't waste any more breath with you. Come with me..."
Since the mask had been torn off, Black Wind Granny no longer bothered with pleasantries. With a wave of her right hand, a black whirlwind immediately swept towards Tang Yuexi. Just then, a figure stepped in front of Tang Yuexi!
(To be continued.)
