104: The power of the saint is earth-shaking!

The War Knight responded.

He slowly spread his palm, and a crimson sacred light, like starlight, shot directly into the void.

Rushing out of the Xiang Residence, the crimson sacred light bloomed on the streets of the Imperial City, and in an instant, the War Knight's sacred power, like accumulated heavy rain, covered the entire city.

The crimson sacred light at the very center transformed into an unfathomable vortex, emitting dozens of infinitely extending crimson sacred hooks.

On various streets, Vice Sect Leader Yan Ru Jun and others, who were fiercely battling Venerables from forces like the Shi Family, Snow Sect, Yun Family, and Luo Family, were caught off guard.

Before they could react, they were directly pierced by the crimson sacred hooks, along with their War Venerable Body and Soul, their flesh adhering together, unable to separate.

"What is this thing?!"

"Ah!!"

"Can't break free!"

"Ah..."

Vice Sect Leader Yan Ru Jun, Guiqi, Jiang Xie, Zhou Lin, and others instantly lost control of their internal power the moment they were impaled by the crimson hooks, struggling desperately but to no avail.

Elder Shi Quan and others immediately froze in place.

Those who had been fighting fiercely suddenly found themselves without opponents!

They looked in the direction the hooks were retracting, and the entire sky above the Imperial City was filled with crimson sacred light.

The crimson vortex in the very center was like an unfathomable devouring black hole.

Vice Sect Leader Yan Ru Jun, Zhou Lin, and other Venerables from various Sects were completely powerless to resist; after being dragged into the crimson vortex, there was no further movement.

"I didn't expect that we would have such a powerful expert on our side!"

Shi Quan, the Grand Elder of the Shi Family, couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.

Qi Quan, the Sect Master of Heavenly Rift Valley, flew over with several Venerables from Heavenly Rift Valley and Second Prince Chu Huang.

This Qi Quan, ostensibly a member of the Empress Faction, was in reality a spy placed by Second Prince Chu Huang.

At this moment, Chu Huang looked at the powers in the sky, and in his mind, his Revered Master's voice said, "It's Saint power."

"I didn't expect Chu Yun to have a Saint assisting him; as expected of someone with supreme Luck."

"Huang'er, hurry to the Xiang Residence. The Ten-Eyed Heavenly Demon of Imperial Ancestral Mountain has broken the Seal. That Saint must act quickly to salvage the situation."

Upon hearing this, Chu Huang immediately said to the Shi Family Elder, "Grand Elder Shi Quan, I'll trouble you all to clean up the remaining mess."

"I'll rush to the Xiang Residence first!"

Shi Quan nodded, "Alright."

With that, Chu Huang immediately led Qi Quan and the others towards the Prime Ministers Residence.

At the same time, Misty Rain Tower.

Xu Nian stood outside the top floor, his gaze fixed on the crimson vortex above, the energy emanating from its surroundings had completely transcended the mundane!

"A Saint!"

"There's actually a Saint in Great Xia Imperial City!"

Xu Nian was filled with shock.

And judging by the Saint's attitude in acting, it was clear that he was on Chu Yun's side.

After some thought, he made a decision that violated Misty Rain Tower's rules.

He immediately transmitted the events happening within Imperial Ancestral Mountain to Chu Yun.

If Chu Yun had a Saint assisting him, then everything tonight would be easily resolved.

"Xu Nian, do you know what you're doing?"

"Once this matter reaches headquarters, do you think you'll be able to go back?"

At this moment, behind Xu Nian, a middle-aged man with a relatively weathered appearance slowly walked over. The aura emanating from him was no weaker than the power released by the crimson vortex.

He was, astonishingly, also a Saint Realm expert!

Throughout the entire Misty Rain Tower, only the mysterious Sect Master of Misty Rain Tower, Bai Xuanran, could possess such cultivation and dare to speak to Xu Nian in this manner.

Xu Nian was not surprised by Bai Xuanran's appearance.

Within the entire Misty Rain Tower, the every move of the high-ranking officials could not escape Bai Xuanran's notice.

Let alone him, the crucial second-in-command.

"Sect Master, I want to take a gamble."

"I had Yuqingzi divine Chu Yun's fate, and as a result, he suffered a backlash and his Realm was greatly damaged."

"His future achievements will surely not be limited to this."

"If I can get his help, when I return to headquarters in the future, perhaps I can also contend with those people."

"As for tonight's matter... Sect Master, you were once my uncle's subordinate, and I trust you." Xu Nian said earnestly.

Bai Xuanran listened to his words, and in his heart, he also felt helpless for him.

Bai Xuanran was aware of his predicament at headquarters.

Even if he returned to headquarters in the future, it would be very difficult for him to gain power.

After all, the person he offended had too high a status; even with his uncle present, he could only guarantee his life.

"Do you think Chu Yun can help you contend against that person?"

"Even if Chu Yun's Luck is Heaven-Defying, how could that person's Luck be ordinary?" Bai Xuanran sighed.

"I know."

"But I don't want to stay in a place like this forever. I will return to headquarters sooner or later, and I will face him sooner or later."

"At this point, I can only take a gamble." Xu Nian said seriously, with an expression of willingness to risk everything.

Seeing him like this, Bai Xuanran said no more.

After turning to leave, a voice came, "I saw nothing of tonight's events. When you've summarized what happens next, report back to me."

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Xu Nian turned and bowed in gratitude. Then, he straightened his back again, his gaze fixed on the Prime Ministers Residence.

...

Within the void of the Xiang Residence.

The War Knight shook his large hand, and the crimson vortex above descended, its sacred power dissipating. "Sect Master, all have been dealt with."

"Good."

Chu Yun was somewhat surprised; he couldn't feel anything happening within this void.

The War Knight hadn't moved, yet he had already captured all those Venerables alive. The methods of a Saint truly are profound and unfathomable.

At the same time, Shi Qianshan and the two others flew over, dragging three Heavenly Venerables.

Chu Yun looked over; his uncle had already introduced them to him earlier. Chu Yun proactively bowed to Shi Qianshan, "Grandfather."

"Hahahaha!"

"Good, good, good!!"

"My good grandson! Knowing you've returned, your grandfather has been thinking of meeting you day and night."

"Back then, after you went missing, Minyue was so anxious she cried all day. If I, your grandfather, hadn't had to consider the bigger picture, I would have long since led the Shi Family to storm the imperial palace and settle scores with that wretch!"

"..."

Upon seeing Chu Yun, Shi Qianshan was both relieved and happy.

At this moment, his words flowed endlessly, pointing at Lan Ji and calling her a wretch.

Chu Yun listened and gave a wry smile. So, his grandfather was a rough chatterbox.

"Enough, Father. Those words can wait until tonight's matters are dealt with."

"Yun'er, now that all the Empress Faction members have been apprehended, what do you plan to do next?"

Shura Venerable couldn't stand it anymore and interjected, looking at Chu Yun and asking.
