142: Chapter 142 Heavenly Punishment: Snow Seals Ten Thousand Miles, A Rebellious Act Incurs Divine Wrath?

"Today, the seventy-two sects of the Righteous Path Alliance have combined their forces, totaling three hundred thousand, to act on behalf of the Heavens!

If the foolish emperor does not immediately revoke his chaotic orders and commit suicide to atone for his crimes; if the Devil Head does not immediately surrender and cripple his own cultivation...

Our Righteous Path army will surely flatten the capital, wash the Heavenly Demon Sect in blood, and return a bright and clear world to this land!!!"

This voice was vast and mighty, filled with an extremely intense sense of moral superiority and Killing Intent, as if they represented the only truth and Heavenly Dao in this world.

The commoners and officials of the entire capital were scared pale, kneeling on the ground one after another, thinking that the end of the world had arrived.

Inside Panlong Hall.

Ling Yuxiu was awakened from her sleep by this deafening sound.

She opened her eyes abruptly, hearing the words from outside: "Flatten the capital, wash the Heavenly Demon Sect in blood."

Her pretty face instantly turned pale, and she subconsciously gripped Ye Xiu's lapels tightly.

"Husband... it's the Righteous Path Alliance... they... they are going to start a war..."

There was a trace of trembling in Ling Yuxiu's voice.

She knew that the famous sects of the world had deep foundations, and now that they had come out in full force, such momentum was absolutely world-destroying.

"So noisy."

Ye Xiu did not show any panic; instead, he impatiently picked at his ear.

He lowered his head, gently pecked those red lips full of worry, and softly comforted her:

"Be good, Xiuer, don't pay any attention to this pack of barking wild dogs. You were exhausted last night, so continue sleeping; your husband will return shortly."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'."

Ye Xiu domineeringly pressed her back into the quilt and casually pinched her delicate nose.

"In this world, your husband, I, am the greatest truth."

Having said that, Ye Xiu rolled out of bed.

He couldn't even be bothered to put on complicated clothing, simply draping his bright red wedding robe embroidered with dark gold Dragon patterns over his shoulders, his lapels wide open, revealing his sturdy chest.

He grabbed the wine gourd from his waist, pushed open the doors of Panlong Hall, and strode out.

Outside the hall, the Old Emperor and a group of civil and military officials had long since collapsed on the steps, paralyzed with fear. Seeing Ye Xiu come out, it was as if they had seen a savior.

"Sect Master! Sect Master, save us! Three hundred thousand Righteous Path Alliance troops have come from outside; they want to massacre the city!"

The Old Emperor crawled over, crying out.

"Massacre the city?"

Ye Xiu raised his head, his heterochromatic gold and silver eyes looking coldly at the ten-thousand-foot-tall Righteous Path phantom at the end of the horizon.

A corner of his mouth curled into an extremely cruel and extremely arrogant arc.

"A bunch of parasites who pretend to be gods and ghosts while sucking the marrow of Mortals, gathering together—do you really think of yourselves as the spokespeople of the Heavenly Dao?"

Ye Xiu pulled the stopper from his wine gourd and took a fierce gulp of strong liquor.

The strong liquor entered his throat, transforming into a violent Sword Intent that shot straight into the Nine Heavens!

"Boom!!!"

Ye Xiu did not waste words, nor did he shout across the air.

He simply stamped one foot hard on the plaza of Taiji Palace, and his entire body became like a gold and silver meteor rushing against the sky.

He instantly broke the sound barrier and charged directly toward the Luoyan Plain eight hundred miles away!

"Famous sects of the world? Acting on behalf of the Heavens?"

In the howling wind, Ye Xiu's unruly, wild laughter, like the funeral bell of the Grim Reaper, spread far and wide:

"Since you think I am Heaven-Defying..."

"Then today, I will poke a hole in this sky for you all!!!"

It was currently the scorching heat of June, and the Yankang Kingdom was located in the Central Plains, a season that should have been blazing with the sun and rolling with heatwaves.

However, the very moment Ye Xiu transformed into a stream of gold and silver light, charging out of the capital with overflowing arrogance,

The Law of this world seemed to suddenly let out a groan of unbearable burden.

"Woo—"

A burst of extremely eerie, shrill cold wind poured down from above the Nine Heavens without any warning.

The originally cloudless blue sky was tightly covered by a layer of suffocatingly thick, lead-gray cumulonimbus clouds in just a few breaths of time.

The sun, which had been emitting scorching light, was like it had been snuffed out by an invisible, giant hand of the Heavens.

The entire world suddenly fell into darkness and dead silence.

Immediately following this, the temperature plummeted at a speed that defied logic.

Snow descended.

This was not ordinary winter snow, but "Mystic Frost Falling Snow" as large as goose feathers, with a weird, deep blue hue running through them!

This snow fell extremely fiercely and violently, as if the Heavenly River had burst its banks, endless and inexhaustible.

Every snowflake that fell carried the heavy force of ten million jun and the extreme cold that froze all things.

In less than half an incense stick of time, the vast territory of eight hundred miles from the capital to the Luoyan Plain saw its rivers instantly frozen into glaciers.

Towering trees were crushed by the thick, solid ice, and even the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi drifting in the air was frozen into stagnation by this terrifying chill.

"Snow in June... this is snow in June!"

Inside the capital, countless commoners and officials, who were already shaken, looked at this terrifying anomaly that defied the logic of the Heavenly Dao. They knelt one after another in the cold snow, kowtowing crazily and begging for mercy.

"The Devil Head has usurped the country, the imperial family is tarnished, this has provoked the Heavens!"

"Heavenly punishment! This is a heavenly punishment descending! The Heavens are going to send down a Heavenly Punishment to punish that Devil Head who acts in a Heaven-Defying manner!"

Mortals did not understand cultivation; they only knew that Ye Xiu had forcibly married the princess, forced the emperor to hand over the country, and placed the Heavenly Demon Sect above imperial power.

Such extremely arrogant actions had finally angered the Heavenly Gods high above.

This endless, eerie heavy snow that froze ten thousand li was the world-destroying Heavenly Punishment sent down by the Heavens!

Meanwhile, eight hundred miles away at the Luoyan Plain.

The three hundred thousand Righteous Path Alliance troops were originally arrayed on this open plain, full of Killing Intent.

When this extremely terrifying cold current mixed with the blizzard descended, many Disciples with lower cultivation were instantly frozen, their Qi and blood stagnant, shivering.

But soon, those Righteous Path powerhouses floating in mid-air discovered the secret of this snow.

"Hahaha! The Heavens protect our Righteous Path! The Heavens protect our Human Race!"

The Daoist sect leader of Tianji Mountain stood at the bow of a huge white jade flying boat, letting the goose-feather snow fall onto his Daoist robe.

He not only did not circulate his true essence to resist, but instead greedily took a deep breath of the freezing, bone-piercing air, his eyes erupting with unprecedented fanaticism.

"Fellow Daoists, look! This is by no means ordinary wind and snow; this snow contains extremely pure Heavenly Dao Killing Intent! This snow only freezes Spiritual Qi, yet it subtly repels Devilish Qi!"

Another Grand Elder from the Wan Jian Pavilion was also trembling with excitement, drawing the long sword from his back and pointing it toward the sky:

"That's right! That Devil Head Ye Xiu acts against the natural order, vainly attempting to use Mortal imperial power to counter the Immortal Dao; such an arrogant and perverse act has already incurred the jealousy of the Heavens! This snow in June is the Heavenly Dao signaling to us: the Devil Head must be executed, and the mandate of Heaven is with us!"

With the instigation of these Righteous Path leaders, the three hundred thousand Righteous Path Alliance troops below, who were originally somewhat fearful of Ye Xiu's reputation as the "Living Yama," instantly boiled over as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Heavenly Punishment for the Devil Head! Act on behalf of the Heavens!"

"Follow the will of Heaven, flatten the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

Three hundred thousand Cultivators roared in unison, their voices mixing with the snow filling the sky, shooting straight into the clouds.

Under the blessing of this so-called "will of the Heavenly Dao," their morale climbed to an extremely terrifying Peak.

In their eyes, Ye Xiu was no longer that Heaven-Defying powerhouse of the Sendai realm. He was now a street rat loathed by the Heavens and Earth, destined to die under the Heavenly Punishment.
