High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Liu Zhenyue regained his senses, his eyes burning with urgency. He dared not delay for a moment, and raised his voice sharply to give the order:

"Quickly! Pack all the clan's most treasured possessions into your spatial ring! Prepare generous gifts; I'll go to Dragon Abyss Mountain tonight to apologize!"

"Ancestor, these are the accumulated resources of my Liu family over many years..." An elder of the Liu family looked troubled.

Liu Zhenyue was truly helpless upon hearing this. How come there was no one in the Liu family besides him who could see the situation clearly?

He then roared angrily, "You're about to die, what are you doing guarding those inanimate objects?!"

"Chen Yuan's original intention may have been merely to give them a warning, but those wolves and tigers of the Lin family truly want to take this opportunity to devour the foundation of my Liu family!"

"Now, immediately, right now! Do as I say!"

"yes!"

The Liu family members acted hastily, the entire mansion was brightly lit, and everyone was mobilized.

Liu Zhenyue stood still.

He clenched his fists as he gazed at the direction of Longyuan Mountain in the night sky.

he knows.

If Chen Yuan really wanted to destroy the Liu family, he wouldn't have sent Lin Wei, the head of general affairs, but would have done it himself.

That power, capable of obliterating a medium-sized celestial cave with a single strike, could annihilate the Liu family in the blink of an eye.

The reason why only Liu Cang was punished and his properties were seized was probably because the Liu family was given a way out.

"That hateful bitch Lin Wei actually tried to take this opportunity to wipe out my Liu family..." A cold glint flashed in Liu Zhenyue's eyes, but it quickly turned into a deep sense of powerlessness.

The Lin family is powerful, and now they are about to climb up Chen Yuan's high branch. What can the Liu family do to fight them?

Half an hour later, in the main hall of the Liu family.

The prepared gifts filled three spatial rings, including various rare and precious materials, rare minerals, spiritual herbs, countless high-grade spirit crystals, and corporate deeds.

Each of these items, if placed in the outside world, would be enough to cause a fight among martial artists!

"Ancestor, isn't this... too much?" An elder's voice trembled with heartache.

"Many?" Liu Zhenyue gave a bitter laugh.

"If Chen Yuan doesn't accept them, these things will become the Lin family's spoils of war tomorrow! Take them and let's go!"

Without another word, he waved his hand, put the three spatial rings on his person, and hurriedly left the mansion, speeding towards Dragon Abyss Mountain...

Longyuan Mountain, the Holy Venerable's Residence.

On the ninth floor of the cultivation tower, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, with spiritual energy surging into his body like a tide.

With twice the concentration of spiritual energy, the Primordial Chaos Scripture operated more and more smoothly, and he could feel his cultivation steadily improving.

The cultivation techniques provided by the system are incredibly profound; with each additional step of practice, one's control over power becomes more refined.

As for the storm he stirred up outside?

He had no idea.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care at all; it was all Liu Cang's own fault.

If we had spoken politely, we might have been able to negotiate. He's not an unreasonable person, but he came to our door to act high and mighty and question us. If we don't teach him a lesson, do you really think he's good-natured?

The more they want the Holy Spirit Liquid, the less they'll give it to them!

........ ........

The Longyuan Mountain was heavily guarded late at night. When Liu Zhenyue arrived at the bronze gate of the Holy Venerable's Mansion, he was covered in sweat but dared not relax in the slightest.

I knocked gently on the door and told the housekeeper what I was there to do.

His humility was ingrained to the core.

After a while.

Chen Tianling appeared with Chen Yi and Chen Shi, all eleven in full Holy Dragon Guard armor, their auras completely concealed yet exuding a chilling murderous intent.

Standing at the entrance, they resembled eleven cold statues, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Liu Zhenyue's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart trembled violently!

He was at the peak of Martial Venerable, with extremely sharp eyesight, and he could tell at a glance that this group of people were definitely not simple!

Even though Chen Tianling, who was in the lead, had concealed his aura, the faintly leaked pressure still made him tremble. He was clearly a Martial Saint in the early stage!

The remaining ten people were all genuine peak Martial Venerables!

Each of them is no weaker than him!

"This...this is Chen Yuan's personal guard?!" Liu Zhenyue's heart was filled with shock.

With such strength, crushing the Liu family would be as easy as squashing ants!

No wonder that bitch Lin Wei was so eager to please him; Chen Yuan's background far exceeded the imagination of these aristocratic families!

A martial saint-level expert was actually willing to serve as a mere guard commander...

"Liu Zhenyue of the Liu family, with a small gift, requests an audience with Chief Judge Chen to apologize!" Liu Zhenyue bowed and clasped his hands.

He bent over so low his waist was almost touching his knees, and spoke with such respect that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Chen Tianling glanced at Liu Zhenyue indifferently, his face expressionless.

"Wait."

He turned and went into the mansion to report, and soon came out and coldly ordered, "The boss wants you to come in."

Liu Zhenyue quickly led Chen Tianling into the mansion.

As he walked along, he saw pavilions and towers shrouded in ethereal mist, the rich spiritual energy making him feel both comfortable and awestruck.

Only when they reached the artificial lake did they see Chen Yuan still lying on the deck chair, the moonlight shining on him, his calm appearance exuding supreme pressure.

"Liu Zhenyue of the Liu family pays respects to Chief Judge Chen! I beg you, Chief Judge, to have mercy!" Without saying a word, Liu Zhenyue knelt down with a "thump," his forehead almost touching the ground.

Her humble demeanor was a stark contrast to Liu Cang's former arrogance.

Chen Yuan sat on the recliner and watched him quietly without saying a word.

An invisible pressure spread out.

Liu Zhenyue felt a tightness in his chest, as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart.

for a long time.

Chen Yuancai slowly spoke: "Liu Zhenyue, your Liu family has quite the audacity."

These few words sent a chill down Liu Zhenyue's spine.

"Please forgive me, Chief Secretary Chen!" he said hastily.

"My son is foolish and ignorant, unaware of his own limitations, daring to offend the Chief Judge, his sins are grave! I have already severely punished him, and today he is at Minister Lin's disposal without a single complaint!"

talking.

He raised his hand, removed the three spatial rings from his fingers, and presented them to Chen Tianling with both hands, respectfully saying, "This is a small token of the Liu family's appreciation. Please verify it, Commander; there is absolutely no hidden danger!"

Chen Tianling stepped forward and took the ring, his brow furrowing slightly as he probed it with his divine sense for a careful examination.

After confirming that the contents were all rare and precious materials and that there were no underhanded tactics involved, he turned around and presented them to Chen Yuan with both hands.

"Boss, the verification is correct."

Chen Yuan raised his hand and took the ring. He scanned it with his divine sense and saw all the treasures inside.

The sheer quantity of rare and precious materials, some of the Liu family's treasured cultivation techniques, top-grade spirit crystals, and property deeds—it was a real financial drain!

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

The Liu family is really willing to spend money.

"Do you think I lack these things?" Chen Yuan toyed with his spatial ring, his tone indifferent and unwavering.

Liu Zhenyue immediately kowtowed.

"We dare not! This is the Liu family's way of atoning for their sins! From this day forward, the entire Liu family will follow the Master's every command, and will obey even unto death if the Master gives the order!"

Looking at the old man kneeling on the ground, Chen Yuan understood. The Liu family's crimes did not warrant extermination; keeping them alive might be more useful than destroying them.

Get up.

Liu Zhenyue felt as if he had been granted a pardon, but dared not rise: "If the Master does not forgive the Liu family, this old man will remain kneeling!"

"I will only say this once."

Chen Yuan's voice turned cold, and his imposing aura intensified.

Liu Zhenyue trembled all over, hurriedly got up, bowed and stood at attention, not daring to breathe.

"The matter of Liu Cang ends here." Chen Yuan spoke slowly, each word a final judgment.

"However, the Liu family's discipline is lax, and they have offended the Emperor's authority; they cannot escape punishment."

"First, the Liu family will hand over 50% of the profits from all their businesses to the Dragon Martial Division for ten years."

"Secondly, the Liu family will send ten Martial Emperors and one hundred Martial Kings to serve on the front lines of the Netherworld Cave in the Northwest for three years, with no rotation allowed."

"Third, you will personally go to the General Affairs Department to collect the Ten Soul-Suppressing Whips as a warning to others."

With each punishment handed down, Liu Zhenyue's face paled a little more.

Half of the profits were cut in half, financial resources were reduced by sending strong soldiers to serve, which damaged the foundation. The Soul-Suppressing Whip was a cruel torture that ripped out the soul. Ten lashes would take away half a life!

But he dared not refuse in the slightest, and gritted his teeth and bowed.

"This old man obeys! Thank you for your mercy, Master!"

It is already an immense blessing that the Liu family was spared.

Chen Yuan waved his hand dismissively, his tone indifferent: "Leave the ring, and leave. Remember, this is the last time. If you dare cause trouble again, the Liu family will be expelled!"

"Yes! Yes!" Liu Zhenyue nodded repeatedly, bowed and backed away, not daring to raise his head the whole time.

Only after leaving the Longyuan Mountain area did he finally breathe a long sigh of relief. His back was already soaked with cold sweat, and his legs were weak, but he was filled with relief.

The Liu family has finally been saved!
