"I have wanted to kill you for a long time!"
"Rumble!!!"
After a sword strike, another punch was unleashed!
This punch was too terrifying!
In the span of a thousandth of a breath, it landed on 'Chaolan'.
"Bang—"
The fist's power, like a falling meteor, exploded.
"Splat—"
'Chaolan's' physical body was instantly pulverized by this punch.
The dignified Martial Grand Sage, dead in such a manner under a single sword and punch.
Within the forbidden grounds of the Liuxian Clan, this punch and sword strike left countless people with blank minds.
"How could this be..."
The crushing and killing, like a reduction in dimension, left many unable to recover.
No matter what, 'Chaolan' was a Martial Grand Sage, a being who could suppress an era in the age of Dharma decline!
Chen Jiuyang's expression remained indifferent, his eyes icy:
"You old fool who doesn't know when to quit."
"I gave you a chance, and you didn't cherish it."
"I said I would kill your entire clan, and I will kill your entire clan!"
"This is karma settled ten thousand years ago."
"Divine Ability—Boundless Hundred Kills!"
A voice as terrifying as a deity resounded.
It guided the aura of the clan to which 'Chaolan' belonged.
"Boom!"
Another punch was unleashed.
A mountain peak turned to dust and vanished from the world.
This was the power of a Martial Grand Sage in his prime, capable of challenging Loose Immortals.
After the kill, Chen Jiuyang sheathed his sword and walked slowly out of the Liuxian Clan's forbidden grounds, with no one daring to stop him.
...
"Announce to the world, I, Qianyang, wish to settle the karma from ten thousand years ago. Anyone with a shred of dignity should not cower in their forbidden grounds."
"Through all trials and tribulations, life and death will be settled. Do not implicate your families, like that old pig dog 'Chaolan'."
After leaving the Liuxian Clan's forbidden grounds, Chen Jiuyang transmitted his voice across the world, his voice resonating for more than a hundred miles!
Like rolling heavenly thunder!
To the people of this era, this was not much, but when it reached the ears of the forbidden grounds of Yuanyuan Town, Wuming Palace, Burial Emperor Mountain, Myriad Races Forest, and Eternal Night Desert, it was different.
A Martial Grand Sage in his prime, in this era, how many could contend with him when he emerged?
Those who achieved enlightenment in alternative ways, the Emperor Realm existences, could they emerge or intervene in these matters?
Ten thousand years ago, too many people wanted Chen Jiuyang dead.
One act follows another.
What truly silenced many forbidden grounds and prevented them from mocking was that Chen Jiuyang was the sword master of the Human King Sword. The Human King Sword could ignore the formations and laws of forbidden grounds, allowing Chen Jiuyang to traverse them freely.
The top prodigies of the previous era, after the fall of the Five Great Sacred Lands, were protected by Jixia Academy and later apprenticed to various forbidden grounds.
...
Wuming Palace.
Located by the Blackwater River, it was the forbidden ground with the most gentle laws among the major forbidden grounds, not easily causing people to lose their lives.
However, the danger lay in the fact that once affected by its laws, one would no longer wish to leave, as if enslaved.
In a sense, it was even more dangerous.
Because of this, Wuming Palace had almost never lacked fortune, and people within the forbidden grounds could come out at any time.
Selecting disciples and slaves.
The current Palace Master of Wuming Palace was Xia Daosheng, formerly the Young Palace Master of the Purple Forbidden City of the Five Great Sacred Lands, with exceptional talent.
Outside the Wuming Palace forbidden grounds stood a massive ancient city.
The area outside the city was desolate, even in the peak of summer in July, it looked bitter and cold. Ten kilometers outside the ancient city, the garrison army was stationed to prevent outsiders from intruding and becoming slaves of Wuming Palace.
The laws of Wuming Palace were primarily aimed at those with weak martial will.
Inside the city, it was bustling with activity, with all sorts of shops. Teahouses and restaurants were filled with people.
Everywhere one looked, there were people.
In a teahouse, a middle-aged man with an immortal demeanor but only one arm sat on a chair, drinking tea. Looking at the people in the city, a flicker of sadness crossed his eyes.
The gentle rules of Wuming Palace did not restrain someone of his cultivation, allowing many families on the verge of decline to bring their families to the city outside Wuming Palace for refuge.
The former Chen family of Mount Shu, with tens of thousands of years of inheritance, had finally perished. He was the only cripple left of the Chen family of Mount Shu.
He was Chen Fengge from back then.
However, he was now an immortal cultivator.
After being severed by Chen Jiuyang back then, he left the Immortal Falling Cliff and came to the city of Wuming Palace, wishing to stay away from the secular world. Later, he was noticed by a Grand Sage ancestor of Wuming Palace, who took him as a disciple, making him an Elder of Wuming Palace.
He was currently at the Hedao stage cultivation, enjoying a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
He had originally thought his life would pass peacefully like this.
Until Chen Jiuyang emerged and announced his presence to the world.
Declaring his intention to settle the karma and grudges from ten thousand years ago.
Who could not be shaken?
Back then, Chen Jiuyang had spared his life. Due to his lingering obsession with the Chen family, he had asked his master to intercept Chen Jiuyang at the last moment.
He drank cup after cup of wine until he was slightly tipsy, then slowly raised his head.
At this moment, within his sight, a scorching purple energy suddenly struck.
The magnificent purple energy, like a great sun, swept across a hundred miles, engulfing the entire Wuming Palace forbidden grounds and city. Rolling heatwaves surged, instantly melting the falling snowflakes, and then pouring down heavy rain.
"Rumble!!!"
A low rumble sounded, but it was not thunder, but the pressure of Xia Daosheng, the Palace Master of Wuming Palace, whom he was familiar with.
It was also the pressure of a peerless Martial Grand Sage!
"The Palace Master... has awakened and emerged from seclusion..."
Wuming Palace was not a palace for one person. Even if Xia Daosheng was the Palace Master, he could not act recklessly.
Since Chen Jiuyang had announced his presence to the world, Xia Daosheng had begun his revival upon hearing the news, and at this moment.
He manifested himself in the human world!
The next moment, a cold, god-like voice resounded.
"Qianyang, since you are here, why not show yourself?"
Chen Fengge's eyes suddenly widened!
He, had he already arrived?
"Clang!!!"
Following this, that vast, indescribable martial will surged upwards!
The heavens and earth shook, and the pressures of two Martial Grand Sages clashed. The heavy rain began to boil, and dark clouds that blotted out the sky appeared. A wind that sounded like ghostly wails swept through, and the heavens and earth changed color, no joke.
Tens of thousands of people were dumbfounded and terrified.
"He has truly reached this point..."
Feeling that familiar yet unfamiliar majesty, Chen Fengge's heart was filled with bitterness.
The first time he saw Chen Jiuyang, Chen Jiuyang was still a weak Earth Realm cultivator. He, who was in the Venerable Realm, could have easily crushed Chen Jiuyang.
Years had passed, and it was no longer the same.
Merely under Chen Jiuyang's pressure, his immortal cultivator body at the Hedao stage trembled uncontrollably, quivering, and a terrifying sense of mortal danger surged in his heart.
Countless people gasped in disbelief. This rumored Martial Grand Sage 'Qianyang' had truly arrived!
"Xia Daosheng, since you know I am here, why do you not offer your head for slaughter?"
