Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 989 - 987: Welcoming the Buddha King! [Fifth Update]

Chapter 989: Chapter 987: Welcoming the Buddha King! [Fifth Update]

Southern State.

As the Flying Boat sped across the firmament, Xiao Yi gazed down at the picturesque landscapes below and sighed with relief: "I have finally returned. It seems that during the year of my absence, Nantian Wen and the Nantian Sacred Grounds have indeed been honoring their promise, continuously aiding the Daqian Dynasty!"

He had been somewhat worried before.

Without his presence in the Daqian Dynasty, and with no news from his journey to the Western Province for a long time.

Whether Nantian Wen and the Nantian Sacred Grounds would go back on their word.

After all.

The Daqian Dynasty without Xiao Yi at its helm was like fish on a chopping board in front of those two colossal entities!

But now it appeared that things did not turn for the worse.

"I wonder how Ye Heng and those rascals have been doing. It’s been a year without a glimpse of them, have their cultivation practices slackened? I left them with plenty of resources. If their progress doesn’t satisfy me with the help of these resources, they can’t blame me for being ruthless!" Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, his thoughts spinning rapidly in his mind.

His own cultivation was not aided by such an abundance of resources, yet he still fought and struggled every step of the way.

Because he knew how difficult and dangerous it was to fight for resources.

That’s why after taking control of the Xiaoshanhe Institute, Xiao Yi had tried his best to provide resources for Ye Heng and the others.

However, by doing so...

It could easily lead to complacency in their mindset.

This was exactly what Xiao Yi was concerned about.

If Ye Heng and the others did not make satisfactory progress upon his return, Xiao Yi would not mind throwing them somewhere else for intensive training. A flower that grows in a greenhouse can never thrive, and as his own strength and perspective grew, the less he would concern himself with Xiaoshanhe Institute and the likes of Ye Heng.

The Veda Supreme shuddered by his side.

He looked at Xiao Yi with an instinctive reverence.

While Xiao Yi pondered over how to torment Ye Heng and the others, Veda Supreme felt a chill down his spine, as if sensing some malevolent presence flickering in and out of existence around Xiao Yi. This made Veda Supreme internally vigilant: "It seems the Buddha King is plotting something again. I must be extremely careful not to draw his attention!"

He knew all too well what it meant to be on Xiao Yi’s radar!

Just look at Celestial Dragon Temple!

Look at the Celestial Dragon Supreme!

The speeding Flying Boat finally arrived at the imperial city. The city that was once slaughtered by the Celestial Dragon Eight had long turned to ruins.

The Daqian Dynasty’s new imperial capital was established within the Imperial Dragon Mountain Range.

Standing in mutual guard with the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

When Xiao Yi’s Flying Boat approached, the whole Imperial Dragon Mountain was already protected early by the protective array.

The Bai Fa Sword Emperor, Yang Ling, Shadow Demon, Yu Huaxian, Nantian Wen, Zou Shaolong, and other powerhouses lined up, suspended in the air at the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain. Their watchful eyes all turned toward the pitch-black Flying Boat, especially upon sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Veda Supreme inside the vessel.

Even Nantian Wen and Zou Shaolong couldn’t help but change their expressions.

Nantian Wen felt his breath constricted, his expression grim as he turned to Zou Shaolong: "Lord Zou, trouble is brewing!"

"Hmm!"

Zou Shaolong nodded solemnly with a somber face, aware of the aura of Veda Supreme. This was the aura of the Supreme Venerate Realm, even denser than his own. This marked the biggest difference between Southern State and Western Province; the latter was vast and rich, with countless strong individuals, the number of those in the Supreme Venerate Realm alone far surpassing that of the Southern State.

Furthermore...

Veda Supreme was a Buddha Supreme with the fruit position of Buddha, far surpassing contemporaries in combat power.

Zou Shaolong said in a deep voice, "If I’m not mistaken, our visitor could very likely be the Celestial Dragon Supreme from the Western State Buddhist Sect. It seems that Xiao Yi’s trip to the Western Province has been a complete failure. Not only is he missing, but he has also thoroughly enraged the Celestial Dragon Supreme, prompting him to defy the agreements between the sacred grounds and personally come to Southern State."

"Celestial Dragon Supreme?"

Nantian Wen’s face went pale in an instant, and despite being one of Southern State’s three major powers, he felt utterly helpless in the face of the Buddha Supreme, speaking bitterly, "Let’s hope the Celestial Dragon Supreme will give us some face and not make things too difficult for the Daqian Dynasty!"

Zou Shaolong nodded. Once the opponent dispatched a Buddha Supreme, it meant that the Nantian Sacred Grounds couldn’t interfere excessively.

Otherwise, it could likely trigger a conflict between the two sacred lands.

Bai Fa Sword Emperor and Yang Ling, among others, naturally also heard the conversation between the two. Their hearts gradually sank.

Yang Ling gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we absolutely cannot back down!"

"Worst comes to worst, we’ll all perish together with them!"

"Both Daqian Dynasty and Xiaoshanhe Institute are the life’s work of Xiao Zhenguo, we swear to protect them to the death..." A group of Daqian Dynasty’s mighty clenched their fists, bursting with eagerness, displaying a determined stance.

Inside the Flying Boat.

Veda Supreme was also aware of the large group of strong individuals outside, especially sensing the resolute and ready-to-die spirit from people like Ye Heng; this made him increasingly perplexed.

Isn’t Xiao Yi from the Southern State?

Why is it that when he has returned, these strong individuals from Southern State all appear as if facing a formidable enemy?

Veda Supreme looked at Xiao Yi beside him: "Buddha King, would you like your subordinate to clear out these people outside?"

Xiao Yi naturally guessed the thoughts of people like Nantian Wen, but he didn’t feel surprised. After all, who could imagine that in just a single year, not only did he resolve the issue with Celestial Dragon Supreme, but also became the King of the Buddhist Sect? He shook his head: "No need, they are friends!"

"Yes!"

Veda Supreme nodded respectfully and opened the cabin door.

He was the first to step out of the cabin.

Nantian Wen and Zou Shaolong exchanged glances, and both felt a chill down their spines. Zou Shaolong spoke in a deep voice: "It must be that Celestial Dragon Supreme without a doubt, damn it, didn’t expect these baldies to be so shameless. How dare such a Supreme Venerable ignore the agreement of the six sacred lands and intrude into Southern State, do they truly think Nantian sacred land has no one to stand up?"

Nantian Wen also sternly shouted: "I am Nantian Wen, the ruler of Nantian Dynasty. Celestial Dragon Supreme, what exactly have you done to Xiao Yi? I advise you not to harm Xiao Yi, otherwise, my Nantian Dynasty would spare no effort to avenge brother Xiao!"

"Bring it on; Xiaoshanhe Institute has no cowards. If it comes to that, we’ll fight to the death with you!"

"If Daqian Dynasty didn’t have Xiao Zhenguo, it would have already perished amid the disaster of God Devouring Ants. Have whatever grudge with us, please spare Xiao Zhenguo..."

One after another, the strong individuals with a ready-to-die attitude and filled with righteous indignation completely baffled Veda Supreme.

F*ck!

When did I become the Celestial Dragon Supreme?

And...

What could I possibly do to Buddha King? Kill him? Impossible...

At this moment.

Zou Shaolong realized that there were other individuals inside the Flying Boat, but he couldn’t sense their aura or cultivation level at all, which made his heart sink, understanding that this was an existence even more terrifying than Veda Supreme. Zou Shaolong’s forehead involuntarily broke out in cold sweat, but he still had to put on a show of composure, "To think that aside from Celestial Dragon Supreme, the prestigious Buddhist Sect has sent an even more formidable existence. Do you really think Southern State is defenseless!"

"What? There are other powerful individuals?"

"Is Veda Supreme’s intervention not enough? Could it be the Holy Buddha? Are they intent on starting a war between the sacred lands?"

Everyone was greatly alarmed.

Seeing the group of Southern State’s strong individuals as if facing a formidable enemy, Veda Supreme was half crying and half laughing, but sensing that Xiao Yi was about to come out, he could only turn back and say respectfully, "Greetings, Buddha King!"

"Buddha King?"

"Did Western State really involve even the Holy Buddha?"

"It’s over, it’s over, now Daqian Dynasty is truly doomed..."

As if facing a formidable enemy, the multitude of strong individuals stared intently towards the direction of the cabin.

This was someone whom even the ferocious "Celestial Dragon Supreme" treated with immense respect, the Buddha King, possibly a pinnacle Supreme Venerable, or even a legendary Holy Venerable-level powerhouse.

Such an existence descending upon Southern State could easily overturn it.

They had no choice but to be nervous.

Under the intense gaze of many, a figure emerged from within the cabin...
