Clad in white, he hovered in mid-air with his hands behind his back.

Chu Yang stood quietly in the sky, without revealing any aura, just like an ordinary mortal.

Yet, this very ordinariness caused everyone present to feel a suffocating pressure.

Li Lei's pupils contracted sharply, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Chu Yang!

How come he is here?

wrong!

This isn't Chu Yang, this is Tu Fei!

But this face, this aura, is clearly that of Chu Yang, the one who caused the entire Jiuli Dynasty so much suffering!
"Who...who are you?" Li Lei suppressed his shock and asked in a deep voice.

Chu Yang slowly lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on Li Lei.

"Grand Elder Li Lei, it's only been a few days since we parted ways?" A playful smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "You don't recognize me already?"

Li Lei's heart skipped a beat; that voice...

It is indeed Tu Fei!
But this face is clearly Chu Yang's face!
"Who exactly are you?" Li Lei demanded again, his voice trembling slightly.

Ye Fan and the big black dog exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

How did Tu Fei turn into Chu Yang's appearance?

Could it be...

A bold guess took shape in Ye Fan's mind, but he quickly shook his head, finding it too absurd.

Chu Yang did not answer Li Lei's question, but slowly walked down from the sky. Every step he took seemed to touch the hearts of everyone present.

"Grand Elder Li Lei, our transaction in Nan Gu City last time was quite pleasant, wasn't it?" he said as he walked, his tone as relaxed as if he were chatting casually. "I thought you would stay put for a while, but I didn't expect that you would get restless again after only a few days."

Li Lei's face was ashen; he was now certain that the person in front of him was Tu Fei!
As for why he had transformed into Chu Yang's appearance, he didn't know, nor did he dare to delve into it.

Because a terrible thought was growing wildly in his mind—

If Tu Fei is Chu Yang...

Doesn't that mean they were completely fooled from the very beginning?
"Impossible!" Li Lei shouted angrily. "Chu Yang is in seclusion, and everyone in the world knows that! Don't try to impersonate him to fool me!"

Chu Yang stopped, standing no more than a hundred feet away from Li Lei.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly amused by Li Lei's reaction.

"Trying to fool you?" He chuckled lightly. "Grand Elder Li Lei, do you think I need to bluff you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand.

An invisible force suddenly swept out, and the powerful figures who were still surrounding Ye Fan and the big black dog were blasted away by this force before they could even react.

Several of them exploded on the spot, turning into puffs of blood mist that drifted away in the mountain wind.

"what!"

"No!"

The screams rose and fell, but then vanished in an instant.

Xiao Wuji watched helplessly as the powerful members of the Xiao family he had brought were slaughtered, and his face instantly turned ashen.

He wanted to escape, but his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move at all.

Li Lei's pupils suddenly contracted, and a bone-chilling cold shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

This method...

This method of effortlessly slaughtering several powerful figures...

Only one person can do it!

The King Who Slays the Dao!
Chu Yang!

“You…you really are Chu Yang!” Li Lei said in a trembling voice, his voice filled with disbelief.

Chu Yang glanced at him indifferently, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Grand Elder Li Lei, I gave you a chance," he said slowly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of everyone present. "Last time in Nangu City, you exchanged the ancient scripture for the imperial weapon, and I thought that was the end of it."

"But you're never satisfied."

"First, they rallied various forces to try and kill my brothers. Now they've personally led so many people to ambush my friends."

"Grand Elder Li Lei, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Li Lei's face was ashen, and he remained silent.

He knew that he was completely finished this time.

What was supposed to be a foolproof plan turned out to be that Tu Fei was actually Chu Yang!

They were completely fooled from the very beginning!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Yang wasn't in a hurry and turned to look at Ye Fan.

"Little Leaf, are you alright?"

Ye Fan shook his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "I'm fine. It's just..."

He hesitated, the guess still lingering in his mind.

Chu Yang seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled slightly: "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Ye Fan nodded, temporarily suppressing his doubts.

The big black dog chuckled smugly, looking smug: "You old bastard, didn't expect that, did you? Your elaborate trap has backfired spectacularly!"

"Serves you right!"

Li Lei glared at it, but couldn't utter a single word.

He was a saint, and should have been fearless against any being of the same realm in the world.

But when facing Chu Yang, he couldn't muster even the slightest bit of confidence.

Because he knew all too well how terrifying this young man was.

Back in the Holy City, this guy almost single-handedly overthrew the entire Nine Li Dynasty. Now, more than a year later, his strength has only become more terrifying.

"Chu Yang, what do you want?" Li Lei asked in a deep voice.

He knew that things would not end well today, but as a saint, he would not kneel down and beg for mercy.

Chu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at him.

"What?" He repeated the two words softly, then a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Grand Elder Li Lei, you brought so many people to kill my friends, and now you're asking me what I want?"

"What do you think I should do?"

Li Lei remained silent.

He knew, of course, that given Chu Yang's personality, he would never let them off easily today.

But what could he do?
escape?
With Chu Yang's abilities, how could he possibly escape?

Moreover, as the Grand Master of the Jiuli Dynasty, if he deserts in the face of battle, how will he have the face to stand in the world in the future?

"Chu Yang, let's settle our score today." Li Lei took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "Fight if you want, kill if you want, I'll take it!"

"But the rest of the Jiuli Dynasty are not involved in this matter, so please be lenient."

His words carried a rather tragic tone.

But Chu Yang simply shook his head slightly.

“Grand Elder Li Lei, you’ve misunderstood something,” he said calmly. “This matter cannot be settled so easily by you.”

"The Nine Li Dynasty has repeatedly opposed me. Your quasi-emperor ancestor must have long considered me a thorn in his side, right?"

"Since that's the case, why should I show mercy?"

Li Lei's expression changed drastically.

His talk of ending things was nothing more than an attempt to save face for himself and the Jiuli Dynasty.

But Chu Yang's words clearly meant that he wanted to destroy the Jiuli Dynasty!
"You!" Li Lei's eyes widened in fury. "Chu Yang, don't go too far! My Nine Li Dynasty has a history of hundreds of thousands of years. How could a mere junior like you shake it?"

"Oh?" Chu Yang looked at him with a half-smile. "A legacy of hundreds of thousands of years, is that so remarkable?"

"Then I'll see just how much this hundreds of thousands of years of tradition really amount to."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand. Li Lei's pupils suddenly contracted, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged from the bottom of his heart.

"No!"

He wanted to escape, but his body was unable to move under Chu Yang's invisible pressure!

At this critical moment——

“Wait a minute!”

An aged voice came from the horizon, and then an extremely terrifying aura suddenly enveloped the entire mountain range.

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look at the horizon.

An ancient chariot was seen speeding down from the horizon, with a gaunt figure standing on it, exuding an aura of death.

Li Lei's expression changed, then he was overjoyed: "Ancestor!"

The newcomer was none other than the quasi-emperor ancestor of the Jiuli Dynasty, who had sealed himself within the divine source!

Ye Fan and the big black dog's expressions both turned serious.

Quasi-Emperor!

That person is only one step away from becoming an emperor!

Although this Jiuli Ancestor has aged to the extreme, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. A quasi-emperor is still a quasi-emperor, how could they possibly contend with him?
Chu Yang remained expressionless, simply watching the chariot draw closer and closer.

A moment later, the chariot stopped a hundred feet away.

The gaunt figure slowly stepped off the chariot, his cloudy old eyes fixed on Chu Yang, his voice hoarse like a broken bellows.

"Chu Yang, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Chu Yang chuckled lightly: "Oh? So the Nine Li Ancestor has actually decided to leave seclusion. It seems the pressure I put on your dynasty wasn't enough."

The Nine Li Ancestor's face was gloomy, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

He didn't want to leave the pass.

Given his current condition, his lifespan will be significantly reduced every time he emerges from seclusion.

But Chu Yang is really going too far!

First they stole the Nine Li Map, then forced the dynasty to spend an exorbitant price to buy back the ancient scripture, and now they are even going so far as to slaughter the people of the Nine Li Dynasty right in front of him!

If he doesn't step in, the Nine Li Dynasty will lose all face!

"Chu Yang, you are young, but your strength is indeed remarkable," the Nine Li Ancestor said in a deep voice, "but don't think that no one in this world can defeat you!"

"Today I will show you that the majesty of a quasi-emperor is not to be trifled with!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a world-destroying aura suddenly erupted from his body.

The aura swept over everything, as if it would overturn the entire mountain range.

Ye Fan and the big black dog both changed color and quickly circulated their divine power to resist.

Even so, the two were forced to retreat repeatedly by this aura, their faces as pale as paper.

The power of a quasi-emperor is indeed terrifying!
But at that moment, Chu Yang also made a move.

He simply waved his sleeve, and an even more terrifying aura surged from his body, colliding head-on with the aura of the Nine Li Ancestor.

boom! ! !
The earth shook, mountains collapsed and the ground cracked.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, all the mountain peaks were reduced to dust under the impact of this force.

Strangely, Ye Fan and the big black dog were unharmed.

Because of Chu Yang's power, they were perfectly protected within it.

The Nine Li Ancestor's expression changed drastically.

His aura was effortlessly neutralized by Chu Yang!

How can this be?

He's practically an emperor!
Even though he has aged to the extreme, a quasi-emperor is still a quasi-emperor. How could a junior possibly contend with him?

"You…" the Nine Li Ancestor stammered, "What exactly is your cultivation level?"

Chu Yang looked at him calmly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Ancestor Jiuli, what does my cultivation level have to do with you?" he said slowly. "You only need to know one thing—you've come to the right place today."

"Because I happen to have something I want to tell you in person."

The Nine Li Ancestor's eyes flickered, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

“What?”

Chu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at this once-powerful quasi-emperor-level expert.

"This is the first time the Nine Li Dynasty has opposed my Outer Heaven."

"This is the second time that ancient scriptures have been auctioned in Nangu City."

"This is the third time we've ambushed and attacked Ye Fan today."

"Things shouldn't happen more than three times, Ancestor Jiuli, you should understand this principle, shouldn't you?"

The Nine Li Ancestor's face was ashen, and he remained silent.

Chu Yang continued, "I don't want to be enemies with the Nine Li Dynasty, but you have repeatedly provoked my bottom line, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Today, I can let you go back. But from this day forward, if the Jiuli Dynasty dares to harm me or those around me again, I will personally come to your door and wipe the Jiuli Dynasty off the face of the earth!"

These words were spoken with force and conviction.

Everyone present heard it clearly.

The Nine Li Ancestor's face instantly became incredibly colorful, alternating between green and white, as if he had been slapped countless times in public.

He is a quasi-emperor!

The ancestor of the Jiuli Dynasty, whose lineage has spanned hundreds of thousands of years!

Now he is being threatened to his face by a junior and has no choice but to bow down!

What a humiliation!
"Chu Yang, don't push your luck!" roared the Nine Li Ancestor. "My Nine Li Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. How dare you erase someone from your name just like that?"

Chu Yang shook his head slightly, a look of regret on his face.

"It seems the Nine Li Ancestor still doesn't understand his situation," he sighed. "In that case, I'll show you what true power is."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Nine Li Ancestor.

A dazzling light burst forth from his fingertips, instantly piercing through the heavens and earth.

The Nine Li Ancestor's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly mobilized all his power to resist.

But the beam of light seemed to ignore all defenses and pierced straight through his right shoulder!
"what!"

The Nine Li Ancestor let out a miserable scream and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the chariot behind him.

Blood gushed out, staining his clothes red.

Li Lei and the others watched with bloodshot eyes, but dared not make a move.

Because they knew that if they dared to act rashly, their fate would be even worse than that of the Nine Li Ancestor.

Chu Yang withdrew his finger, his expression remaining calm.

"Ancestor Jiuli, this finger strike is a warning to you," he said calmly. "Next time, I won't just injure one of your arms."

The Nine Li Ancestor clutched his bleeding shoulder, his face filled with disbelief.

His defenses were easily breached!

What kind of monster is this young man?

"Walk!"

He gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and shouted loudly.

He knew that if they continued to fight today, they would all perish here.

Li Lei and the others felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and quickly helped the Nine Li Ancestor up, rushing towards the war chariot. (End of this chapter)
