Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Overawing the Ye Family
Very soon, all the high-level members of the Ye Family, including the Family Head, gathered in Tianxin Hall.
Among them was Ye Guyun, who was at this moment watching Xu Nian seated in the hall with a solemn expression.
From Xu Nian, he couldn’t sense any aura whatsoever.
Precisely because of this, he felt even more fearful.
To be able to make him, a Supreme Battle Emperor of the Pseudo Purple Mansion Realm, unable to sense any aura, Xu Nian’s strength must far exceed his by a great deal.
Thinking of this, Ye Guyun’s heart was filled with complex emotions.
Years ago when he encountered Xu Nian, Xu Nian’s cultivation was not even as good as his, but now Xu Nian had grown to a level where he could only look up.
How could this not make Ye Guyun feel a strong sense of defeat?
The Family Head Ye Mingjue felt similarly, looking at Xu Nian with eyes full of helplessness and caution.
By all accounts, Xu Nian was the Ye Family’s enemy, yet now Xu Nian was comfortably sitting in their family’s hall, and they were powerless.
"Family Head Ye, it’s been years since we’ve met, yet you’re still as graceful!" Xu Nian said with a smile.
Years ago, he had met Ye Mingjue once, though both had only observed from afar.
Now, they finally had a face-to-face confrontation; in Xu Nian’s eyes, the Ye Family now was no different from any ordinary small family.
If he wished, he could annihilate the Ye Family with just a thought.
"Brother Xu is joking; compared to you, I’m still far behind. I wonder what realm Brother Xu has reached now?" Ye Mingjue asked with a smile.
Everyone in the Ye Family turned curiously towards Xu Nian, clearly eager to know the level of his cultivation.
Xu Nian laughed, seeing through the Ye Family’s little schemes.
They were hoping to make him reveal his strength so they could be on guard.
If Xu Nian’s cultivation was low, they would certainly not hesitate to act.
"Since you all want to know my strength, I might as well show a little." Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Alright, go ahead, Brother Xu, let us be amazed." Ye Mingjue said with a smile.
"Indeed, I’m also eager to witness Brother Xu’s prowess." Ye Guyun echoed with a smile.
Xu Nian smiled slightly, and then his gaze exploded with a sharp intent.
After that, Xu Nian flicked his finger, unleashing Sword Qi.
The next moment, everyone around felt as if they had plunged into hell, as the entire hall was instantly torn apart, split into two.
The cut was smooth as a mirror!
Everyone in the Ye Family was stunned.
With just a flick of his finger, he split the entire mountain peak in two.
The crucial thing was, this Wu Emperor Mountain was reinforced with formations.
Yet, in front of Xu Nian, it was still utterly defenseless.
"This..." Ye Mingjue looked at the split mountain and the palace buildings, with a bitter smile in his heart.
How is the Ye Family supposed to continue like this?
The entire Wu Emperor Mountain was split in half; wouldn’t the Ye Family now become a joke?
"I apologize for the embarrassment, Senior Ye; my strength is indeed a little show-off." Xu Nian said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingjue wanted to curse out in anger.
This strength is just show-off?
Then what does that make our strength?
Ye Guyun also smiled bitterly, Xu Nian’s strength was not just powerful, but outrageously formidable.
"Family Head Ye, do you need me to help you put Wu Emperor Mountain back together?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
"Put it back together? Can it be put back together?" Ye Mingjue asked in surprise.
Xu Nian smiled slightly and said, "It’s a piece of cake."
Then Xu Nian moved his fingers.
Everyone then felt the ground beneath them shake intensely.
Then, they saw the gap in the middle gradually closing, and finally, the two halves of the mountain merged together again, seamlessly, even the buildings were connected without any gaps.
Everyone in the Ye Family was stunned.
Ye Lan and Ye Xuan were also dumbfounded.
From when Xu Nian flicked his finger to split Wu Emperor Mountain to when he used his mountain-moving technique, it felt like sheer magical skill.
The key thing was, Xu Nian was incredibly relaxed throughout, able to accomplish it with just a finger’s movement.
"Could this be the legendary profound argumentation?" Ye Guyun thought of something and quickly asked.
Xu Nian laughed, "Indeed, earlier I used Wind Attribute Profound Argumentation and Earth Attribute Profound Argumentation; as for the intricacies, explaining them would be like playing music to a bull."
The surrounding people were speechless.
Playing music to a bull?
Was he calling them bulls?
Yet, no one dared to utter a word of complaint; after all, against someone who could split Wu Emperor Mountain with a flick, even if the entire Ye Family confronted him, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
"Brother Xu, oh no, Mr. Xu, we’ve witnessed your strength, truly formidable. I wonder what brings Mr. Xu to the Ye Family this time?" Ye Mingjue asked with a smile.
He had completely abandoned any thoughts of confronting Xu Nian.
"I’m here to inquire about the whereabouts of the Xu Family and Leng Family; does the Family Head Ye know?" Xu Nian asked directly without beating around the bush.
"I’m afraid Mr. Xu might be disappointed, as I truly don’t know the whereabouts of the Xu Family and Leng Family." Ye Mingjue responded.
Xu Nian heard this and was about to stand up, as he originally hadn’t held any hope.
"Please wait, though I don’t know their whereabouts, I’ve heard some rumors saying someone spotted members of the Xu Family in the West Desert." Ye Mingjue said.
"West Desert?" Xu Nian showed a surprised expression.
Previously, there were rumors of an Immortal Palace appearing in the West Desert.
Now thinking about it, the West Desert indeed seemed a bit odd.
"Alright, I’ll visit the West Desert after dealing with Emperor Xing." Xu Nian said casually.
And with that, Xu Nian suddenly vanished from the hall of the Ye Family.
"Huh?"
Everyone around was shocked.
How did Xu Nian disappear?
Ye Lan and others were also bewildered; how Xu Nian disappeared, they hadn’t even seen, raising the question of just how strong Xu Nian truly was.
"By the way, what did he say he was going to do earlier?" Someone in the Ye Family asked.
"He said he’s going to kill Emperor Xing!" Someone in the crowd replied.
Kill Emperor Xing?
The surrounding people then snapped out of it.
"Sister Ye Lan, do you think he can really kill Emperor Xing? Emperor Xing is so powerful!" Ye Xuan asked, a bit at a loss, while looking at the spot where Xu Nian vanished.
Ye Lan’s expression was also complex, her gaze involuntarily turning towards the direction of the Emperor Palace.
"In the past, we always thought things were impossible, yet he’s accomplished them; with him, miracles seem to be meant for creation, and perhaps this time, it might not be any different." Ye Lan answered.
Ye Xuan heard this, her expression also complex.
In her mind, Xu Nian’s appearance kept recurrently.
That trace of wicked yet proud smile had deeply ingrained itself in her heart, impossible to erase.
