181: Chapter 181 Swift and Decisive Measures, Blue Star Alliance
In the suburbs of Kyoto, above the mountains, Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm as he waited for the arrival of all the Martial Gods on Blue Star.
Before long, the three Martial God powerhouses of Great Xia arrived. Upon arrival, the three of them bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan.
Although they were all seniors, Lin Yuan was now a true Transcendent powerhouse, the hope for Great Xia's rise, and their hope for pursuing higher realms. Naturally, their attitude was incomparably respectful.
Even Ice-Cold Frost put away those unrealistic thoughts; she knew that Lin Yuan and she were from different worlds...
A moment later, people began to arrive one after another. The first to arrive were six Martial Gods, all from countries friendly with Great Xia. These countries had few Martial Gods and could only rely on Great Xia.
As soon as the six of them arrived, they cupped their fists to Su Yuntian and the other two, not noticing the young Lin Yuan nearby at all.
Subsequently, Martial Gods from other countries also arrived one after another. Although they didn't believe the claims of a Transcendent powerhouse, they came anyway.
If a Transcendent powerhouse truly appeared and they didn't come, they would be offending a Transcendent, and the only end awaiting them would be death.
Before long, nearly thirty Martial Gods were all in place, discussing the topic of Transcendents in small groups.
"Su Yuntian, almost everyone is here. What exactly is the purpose of your Great Xia summoning us? Didn't you say there's a Transcendent powerhouse? Why haven't you invited him out yet?"
A blonde-haired, blue-eyed Martial God spoke with some impatience.
"Transcendent? Transcendent my ass! I think they're just fooling everyone, who knows what kind of mischief they're plotting!"
An old man wearing wooden clogs with a small mustache under his nose said sarcastically.
"Presumptuous! How dare you show disrespect to Transcendent Sir! Transcendent Sir has been here all along, it's just that you are blind and cannot recognize a true god!"
Su Yuntian was instantly enraged and bowed with cupped fists toward Lin Yuan.
Everyone looked at Lin Yuan, whom they had been ignoring, their faces showing shock.
This young man is the legendary Transcendent? Isn't he a bit too young?
"Hahaha... Su Yuntian, are you crazy or stupid? You're telling me this kid whose hair hasn't even fully grown is a Transcendent?"
"Exactly, everyone shouldn't be fooled by them. They just pulled someone at random and called him a Transcendent? You should at least find someone who looks the part. Finding such a wet-behind-the-ears brat, are you making fun of us?"
"Hmph! What is the intention of your Great Xia in gathering us here? Without a satisfactory explanation, don't blame us for demanding an answer!"
Following the clamoring of the two previous Martial Gods, the other Martial Gods also began to believe it somewhat. After all, a Transcendent was too ethereal, making it difficult to gain people's trust.
Hearing this, Ice-Cold Frost's eyes immediately turned fierce. Although she looked cold and elegant on the outside, she actually had a fiery temper.
She pointed directly at the several people and cursed, "Presumptuous! You blind dogs! How dare you be so rude in the presence of Transcendent Sir!? If you dare to act up again, beware of the longsword in my hand!"
"Ice-Cold Frost! You bitch! You think we're afraid of you!?" someone immediately retorted.
Clang!!
Ice-Cold Frost directly drew her longsword, ready to strike without another word.
Lin Yuan, however, slowly stepped forward and stopped her with a look. Ice-Cold Frost nodded respectfully and sheathed her sword.
Then, Lin Yuan's scrutinizing gaze swept across the faces of the several disrespectful Martial Gods, as if looking at ants.
"Brat! Who the hell are you trying to impress? Look again and I'll slap you to death!"
With his nostrils in the air, the blonde Martial God directly spewed profanities.
The next second—
Everyone's vision blurred. No one saw how Lin Yuan moved, but he had already disappeared from his original spot.
Slap!!
A loud slapping sound rang out. Everyone hurriedly looked toward the blonde Martial God's position, only to see Lin Yuan standing there, his right hand still in the motion of having just delivered a slap.
But the blonde Martial God was nowhere to be found, leaving only a First Regiment blood mist in the air...
Hiss...
Hiss...
...
The sound of people gasping in cold air filled the scene, not because Lin Yuan had killed someone, but because he had actually slapped a Martial God level powerhouse into a First Regiment blood mist...
This was a top-tier expert of Blue Star, an existence known as a God Among Martial Artists, yet he was erased from the world with a wave of this calm youth's hand.
The youth's strength was now obvious. Transcendent—only a Transcendent could explain such heaven-defying power.
At this moment, the other three Martial Gods who had mocked him earlier were now pale as death, their legs trembling, and their throats moving but unable to speak.
Thump!
The three Martial Gods knelt directly in the air, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Transcendent Sir, have mercy! We failed to recognize your greatness; we were blind! Please, in your great mercy, spare us!" the three pleaded in unison.
Lin Yuan's eyes swept over the three without any emotion, and he spoke coldly:
"If everyone who makes a mistake is forgiven, then there will only be more and more people making mistakes..."
Hearing this, their hearts sank, and they froze. They never expected this Transcendent to be so difficult to deal with.
Lin Yuan was here today to establish his authority and to intimidate all the powerhouses of Blue Star. Soft-hearted? Not even a little...
To make this group of arrogant Martial Gods bow their heads, only thunderous methods could make them truly afraid.
"Run!"
With a loud shout, the three of them tried to flee in three different directions. But in the next second, their hearts fell into an endless hell.
"Run? Can you run? Under my Space Profundity, running is just a luxury."
The three of them were frozen in the void, unable to take a single step forward. Each of them showed a look of panic; they knew that the God of Death was approaching...
Lin Yuan clenched his fist, and his figure flashed.
Bang!!
With a simple punch, a Martial God turned into a First Regiment blood mist...
His figure flashed again.
Bang!! Bang!!
Two more clouds of blood mist drifted away with the wind...
Silence...
The scene was now terrifyingly quiet. All the Blue Star overlord-level Martial Gods were silent as cicadas in winter, as well-behaved as kindergarten children afraid of their teacher...
Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the field, and everyone cupped their fists and bowed, shouting in unison:
"Greetings, Transcendent Sir!"
Lin Yuan nodded indifferently with satisfaction. "Mm, you may rise."
"Calling you all here today is naturally to discuss something. I am Lin Yuan of Great Xia, and my cultivation is in the Transcendent Realm. I intend to form a Blue Star Alliance. I wonder if anyone here does not wish to join?"
"What are you saying, Transcendent Sir? We are naturally eager to join the alliance you are forming. How could we not want to join?"
"Yes, yes, Transcendent Sir. As long as you give us the opportunity to join, it is our greatest honor. How could we possibly object?"
Lin Yuan nodded calmly.
"Good. Since no one has an objection, then it's settled. I will serve as the Alliance Leader of the Blue Star Alliance, and the three Martial Gods of my Great Xia will serve as Elders. Everyone else must unconditionally follow the orders of the Alliance Leader and the Elders. Any problems?"
Lin Yuan spoke to everyone with a smile. His attitude was like a spring breeze, yet the hearts of the Martial Gods were chillingly cold.
"No problem, of course no problem!"
"Yes, how could there be a problem? We will all listen to you!"
"Everything is up to you, Sir!"
