76: The calm before the storm
Boom!
On a clear day, there was a muffled thunderclap, and the sky rumbled with lightning. Dark clouds filled the air, a manifestation of a Great Emperor's fluctuating mind, causing the heavens to change color.
"You beast, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Ye Tianxiong's face instantly twisted into a savage expression. He roared in anger, subconsciously reaching out to grab Chu Tian.
Buzz!
ABlue knife light, a azure blade light, spanned ten thousand feet across the sky. A Vicious Beast, a White Tiger, materialized and roared, the character 'King' vividly displayed on its forehead. The blade light surged forward, striking Ye Tianxiong with a thunderous impact.
Chu Tianyun, his eyes red, unleashed several White Tiger Vicious Blades that tore through the heavens and earth, ripping apart the universe.
Several enraged high-ranking members of the Chu Family directly unleashed top-tier Divine Abilities, striking at Ye Tianxiong, their Dao essence reaching the heavens.
Boom!
Jitian Peak's summit trembled violently. Emperor-level array patterns manifested, suppressing the aftershocks. Ye Tianxiong's figure flashed out from the blade light, landing beneath the altar, his face gloomy and slightly sinister.
He realized his reaction was overly aggressive.
At this moment, Ye Tianxiong suddenly realized, was this the reason why his eldest son, Ye Feng, suddenly agreed to break off the engagement outside Holy Sky Pool last time?
Was this also the reason why Chu Tian fought fiercely in the Holy Sky Pool?
But even Great Emperors like Jian Kongzhu and Chu Tian King couldn't discover it, so how did Chu Tian know?
Ye Tianxiong's face was distorted with rage, his mind racing, but he had no time to think too much. He instinctively snarled at Chu Tian, "You little bastard, I've tolerated and indulged you repeatedly because of your youth, yet you've been so presumptuous time and again, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. You actually slandered my Ye Family's direct descendant for Cultivating Demonic Technique. Do you really think my Ye Family has no means to punish you?
The dignity of the Ye Family cannot be trampled upon like this."
He understood that no matter what the truth was now, he had to appear completely ignorant and display the righteous fury a father should show when his own son is slandered.
The many Sect high-ranking members and Grand Elders present now had solemn expressions, their inner shock beyond words. They simply couldn't believe what they had just heard from Chu Tian's mouth.
"Did I mishear just now? Ye Feng Cultivated the Demonic Technique Supreme Yin Yang Art?"
"Chu Yunshang Cultivated the Supreme Yin Yang Sect's Sub-Technique? What kind of shocking words are these?"
"I remember that the Supreme Demon Sect was besieged by the major top Sects of the continent and annihilated tens of thousands of years ago. All sorts of Demonic Techniques were sealed, and only the Sect Master of each Sect could access them?"
"The Sect Masters of each Sect?" Elder Duanmu muttered, looking at Sect Master Ye Tianxiong, whose face was slightly contorted, seemingly in a fit of rage.
The many Sect high-ranking members and Grand Elders were incredibly astonished and also turned to look.
In the Saint Heaven Sect's million-year history, such a shocking event had never occurred.
So, was Ye Tianxiong so enraged because of Chu Tian's slander, or because this shocking matter was exposed, causing him to appear somewhat sinister?
If the many Sect high-ranking members were merely astonished, then at this moment, the Emperor's might of Old Tuo and Chu Tian King in the sky was like a raging storm, surging waves, and a tsunami hitting the heavens.
Old Tuo had known all along; it was merely the suppressed anger within him being released. If it weren't for Young Master's instructions that he had other plans for this matter and needed to find a suitable time, he would have already rushed into Saint Emperor Peak and crushed Ye Feng to death.
At this moment, in the Holy Emperor Peak Main Hall, Chu Tian King, a dignified Great Emperor, a super powerful being who could pluck stars and capture the moon with a raised hand, had a pale face. He simply couldn't believe what he had heard.
His obedient and sensible eldest daughter was incited by Ye Feng to Cultivate the Supreme Yin Yang Art?
A thick sense of fear enveloped him, causing Chu Tian King's entire body to tremble slightly. He didn't even have the courage to get up and verify whether his son's words were true, whether his eldest daughter had truly Cultivated the Supreme Yin Yang Art.
This was an unsolvable Demonic Technique. If the main practitioner died, the sub-practitioner would surely die. If they didn't die, they would eventually lose all emotions and desires, turning into a Devil Head who only knew how to kill, becoming the master's Cauldron.
Chu Tian turned his head to look at Chu Yunshang, who was slightly pale, and softly said, "Big Sister, don't be afraid. With your little brother here, and the Family elders present, no one can harm you."
"Show everyone the Supreme Yin Yang Art Sub-Technique you've Cultivated."
"Tell the elders how Ye Feng made you Cultivate the Demonic Technique Sub-Technique."
The reason he hadn't revealed it before was not only to wait for Ye Feng to become a demon, but also because he needed to wait for the best timing, a moment that could completely shatter the Ye Family's prestige.
In this current situation, with many Sect high-ranking members and Grand Elders present, the atmosphere was perfectly set.
Speaking it now would be the final straw that breaks the camel's back for the Ye Family, amplifying the effect tenfold.
Seeing Chu Tian's calm eyes, Chu Yunshang was infused with a powerful surge of courage, and the fear in her heart suddenly dissipated.
Chu Yunshang didn't look at Ye Tianxiong's distorted face. With a raised hand, the Supreme Yin Yang Art circulated, and Devilish Qi gathered in her palm, though it would quickly be transformed into Spiritual Qi unique to Chu Yunshang by the white Dao seed within her body.
At the same time, Chu Yunshang began to softly recount to Chu Tianyun, Chu Tianxing, and other Family elders how, during an excursion with Ye Feng, he had given her the Supreme Yin Yang Art to Cultivate, telling her it was a private Dual Cultivation secret technique for them as Dao Companions in the future, a little secret between them.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."
Heavy breathing, like that of Vicious Beasts, began to echo through the venue, as if a pack of Pixius, with red eyes and open mouths, were contemplating how to tear their prey to shreds.
In the minds of the Chu Family's high-ranking members, there was now only boundless rage and infinite killing intent.
The Chu Family's eldest legitimate daughter, who had been betrothed to the Ye Family since childhood for the sake of Family interests, was treated like this by the Ye Family.
They could no longer describe how they felt at this moment.
Only one word remained: the Ye Family must pay a bloody price, even if it meant turning the world upside down, even if it meant rivers of blood, even if the Saint Heaven Sect split apart, they would not hesitate.
Otherwise, if they couldn't even protect their eldest legitimate daughter, what face would the Chu Family have? How could they stand on this continent?
"Tian Teng, Tian Mai, you two take a group from the Law Enforcement Hall—no, the Family's trained dead soldiers—to seal off Saint Emperor Peak for me. Prohibit all sound transmissions, seal off space and time, and allow no one to enter or exit, not even a mosquito is allowed to fly out."
Chu Tianyun's voice was hoarse, and the Chenxing White Tiger Blade in his hand trembled. A tiger's roar that shook mountains and rivers echoed from within it, making it impossible to imagine the extent of the killing intent in his heart.
However, he, who was usually extremely hot-tempered, did not directly erupt this time.
It was like the calm before a raging storm.
"Take my Law Enforcement Hall token and seal off Saint Emperor Peak. Anyone who dares to resist shall be killed without mercy on the spot."
"Pass on my order: all eight thousand imperial guards from the Law Enforcement Hall headquarters and thirty thousand Disciples from the Law Enforcement Office are to be dispatched to seal off all exits of the Sect."
