Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1005 - 1003: Conflict at the Gates of the Sanctuary! [Fourth Update]
Chapter 1005: Chapter 1003: Conflict at the Gates of the Sanctuary! [Fourth Update]
Central Holy Region.
Located at the very heart of the Nantian Holy Realm, guarded by eight great sacred areas, the nine sacred regions form a whole.
If one were to look down from the endless high skies, one would find that the nine regions are arranged in the pattern of the Bagua.
Forming a gigantic Array.
The reason why the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth within the Nantian Holy Realm gathers so abundantly is closely related to the array formed by the arrangement of these nine regions.
Each of the eight sacred areas has its own path leading to the Central Holy Region.
At this moment.
With the return of the Sacred Master’s incarnation, top experts from all eight regions were hastening toward the Central Holy Region.
After all.
The Sacred Master is usually stationed in the outer battlefield, and on ordinary days, only a divine sense is left in the Nantian Holy Realm for emergencies. If it’s not about the life and death of the Holy Land, hardly anyone dares to disturb the Sacred Master. And now, it is the incarnation of the Sacred Master that has returned.
Naturally, everyone is eager to come back and pay their utmost respects.
On the road from the Yellow Region to the Central Holy Region.
Eight pure and flawless Saint Horses, covered in jade-like Scale Armor, are pulling a carriage at great speed.
These Saint Horses are all comparably powerful to beings of the Nirvana Realm; they are incredibly swift, covering a hundred thousand miles a day with ease.
Above the carriage.
Xiao Yi is sitting cross-legged inside, while Qiu Yiyun personally drives the carriage outside.
After all.
This is to meet the Sacred Master in the Central Holy Region, ordinary people do not have the privilege to accompany, even individuals like Qiu Yiyun, who hold sway in the Domain Lord Huanyu’s retinue must tread carefully upon arriving there.
About ten hours later.
A huge, ancient city emerged before them, covering an unknown expanse of land.
But at a single glance, its boundaries are absolutely impossible to ascertain.
The entire ancient city exudes an aura of antiquity and timelessness as if it had been situated here since the dawn of heaven and earth.
Xiao Yi, looking through the curtain at the towering city walls, couldn’t help but sigh to himself: "Just like the fortress-like Holy Buddha Palace on Spirit Mountain, is this also an elemental weapon? However, this city is much larger than the Holy Buddha Palace, almost comparable to the entire Spirit Mountain!"
Remembering how Spirit Mountain was gnawed full of holes and almost turned into a semi-ruined state by his own God Devouring Ants.
Xiao Yi couldn’t help but wince with discomfort.
He is, after all, now the leader of the Buddhist sect, and with Spirit Mountain, the Buddhist facade, in such disrepair, his face is without glory. Thinking back to the mournful look in the eyes of the Buddha who was left to hold down Spirit Mountain when he departed, Xiao Yi touched his forehead, "It seems that I will have to think of a way to restore Spirit Mountain in the future!"
After all, he is the Buddhist King; he can’t really neglect the Buddhist sect!
"Lord Xiao, we have arrived at the Central Holy Region!" Qiu Yiyun’s voice came from outside, and the speed of the carriage also gradually slowed down.
Xiao Yi responded with a hum, lifting his hand to lift the curtain.
They had already arrived at the entrance of the Holy Region ancient city; towering over the massive gate, flanked on both sides of the gate bathed in sacred light, stood two lifelike statues. Both statues held a long spear in one hand and a battle shield in the other, looking majestic and mighty.
Just one glance and one would feel a tremendous pressure.
"What exquisite puppets!" Xiao Yi muttered in admiration.
The combat strength of these two puppets is definitely not inferior to that of the Human Venerate Realm, guarding the city gates with such puppets really is a grand gesture.
"People from the Yellow Region? Is that mummified old Zou Shaolong sitting inside the carriage?" A deep voice came from the side, accompanied by the clattering of hooves, a bronze-colored carriage slowly approached, coming to a halt beside Xiao Yi’s carriage. freёnovelkiss.com
Qiu Yiyun’s voice came from outside the carriage: "Yellow Region’s Qiu Yiyun pays respects to the Domain Lord of the Wasteland, and inside our carriage is not our domain master!"
"Not Zou Shaolong? That stingy old man rarely lends this dragon-horse carriage to anyone; I’m quite curious to see who has the privilege to sit in here..." The deep voice from the other carriage carried a rumble of energy, like thunder.
This energy thundered directly toward Xiao Yi’s carriage, transforming into an invisible hand that sought to flip the carriage right over.
"Domain Lord of the Wasteland, you must not..." Qiu Yiyun shouted, tightly gripping the reins.
"Scram!"
The Domain Lord of the Wasteland snorted coldly.
An infinite force surged violently, the mere sound of the energy tearing through the air enough to shake a mountain.
The young man driving the bronze carriage smirked with amusement and cold laughter.
They were already waiting to see the carriage overturned, the passengers tumbling out in a sorry state.
However...
Sitting inside the carriage, Xiao Yi merely snorted coldly, and the vast mighty force immediately dissipated into nothingness, calming down the restive holy horses. Instead, the ancient bronze-colored carriage shuddered violently; the ground beneath started trembling crazily as if a massive earth dragon was turning over beneath it.
Intending to flip the bronze carriage over.
"How dare you!"
A deep angry roar came from within the bronze carriage.
But he was powerless to prevent the carriage from overturning, and with a loud bang, the entire bronze-colored carriage was flipped onto the ground.
The young man let out a wretched scream, hitting the ground face-first, his nose swollen, face bruised, and his appearance utterly disheveled. A green figure suddenly burst out from within the carriage, looking down coldly at the carriage Xiao Yi was in, and roared furiously, "Even Zou Shaolong wouldn’t dare to overturn my carriage directly. I want to see who dares to be so bold!"
Whoosh!
A silver claw, formed entirely from innate power, appeared out of thin air, striking fiercely toward the carriage where Xiao Yi was.
The curtain of the carriage was suddenly flung open.
A silver light streaked out from a finger, and with a loud bang, it tore apart the claw, while at the same time, a black figure soared through the air. In an instant, it appeared in front of the Domain Lord of the Desolate Region, who hadn’t even caught a clear glimpse of the figure’s face before feeling a scorching, stabbing pain on his face.
Almost simultaneously...
Smack smack smack!
Three crisp slapping sounds echoed through the heavens.
By the time the slapping noises ceased, Xiao Yi’s figure had already returned to the carriage, the curtain slowly falling. Xiao Yi’s voice reached into Qiu Yiyun’s ears: "Let’s go!"
Qiu Yiyun’s face was filled with excitement and shock, he never imagined Xiao Yi could be so terrifying.
This was the Domain Lord of the Desolate Region, a being on the same level as Zou Shaolong.
Yet he had been slapped several times by Xiao Yi, without even catching a glimpse of Xiao Yi’s face. For a moment, Qiu Yiyun felt an immense satisfaction. His eyes swept over to the Domain Lord of the Desolate Region, whose face alternated between pale and flushed, standing suspended in mid-air, unable to snap out of his shock, then, with chin held high like a victorious rooster, Qiu Yiyun drove the carriage with swagger into the Central Holy Region.
For a long time.
The Domain Lord of the Desolate Region and the Domain Lord Huanyu have constantly struggled against each other, both openly and in the shadows, and for a long time, Zou Shaolong has been at a disadvantage.
This created a situation where the Domain Lord of the Desolate Region became increasingly overbearing, often using power to oppress others.
Consequently, Qiu Yiyun also suffered humiliation.
But today...
He finally had a taste of vindication!
Watching the white carriage slowly entering the Central Holy Region, the face of the Domain Lord of the Desolate Region alternated between green and white. He clenched his fists several times but didn’t dare to act rashly. Just from the previous clash alone, he knew that the person inside the carriage was far stronger than him, and he mutteringly said to himself in a gloomy tone, "Who the hell is this kid? With the strength he just showed, he must at least be at the Fifth Layer Supreme Realm... God dammit, I thought it was that old undead Zou Shaolong causing trouble. Today has been utterly humiliating..."
Thinking back to how he took the initiative to attack, only to have his carriage flipped and receive several slaps without even seeing what the opponent looked like.
The face of the Domain Lord of the Desolate Region grew increasingly unsightly.
At this moment.
He saw a bronze carriage arriving from a distance. The carriage gradually came to a stop, and from within, Qi Bing’s voice could be heard: "Domain Lord Liu, what are you doing?"
"Domain Lord Qi!"
The Domain Lord of the Desolate Region, Liu Yu, quickly dismounted to pay his respects, but did not mention the embarrassing incident, saying, "I was slightly delayed by some trivial matters just now. Domain Lord Qi, you are..."
He caught sight of Li Jianyang lying on the stretcher inside the carriage, his pupils narrowing slightly.
Who among the people from the Holy Lands doesn’t know about Li Jianyang, who has Qi Bing behind him?
And now he’s been beaten to the point where he can only lie on a stretcher?
Qi Bing spoke indifferently, "Some blind fool, relying on their few talents, dared to run wild in the Holy Lands, beating up our Holy Son to this state. Today, I have come to request the judgement of the Holy Lord Heaven and Earth alone!"
Hiss!
Liu Yu took a sharp breath, could it really be true that someone dared to beat up the Holy Son in the Holy Lands? He hastily said, "Truly audacious beyond belief!"
"A mayfly shaking a tree, simply overestimating his own strength!"
With a wave of his hand, Qi Bing drew the curtain closed and said indifferently, "If Domain Lord Liu has no business, then follow me into the city! Just in time, there will be a good show to watch later, and I invite Domain Lord Liu to join us in viewing it!"
"I couldn’t ask for more!"
Liu Yu quickly got into the carriage and followed into the Central Holy Region...
