124: Chapter 124 Words Become Law, Imperial Edict Punishes the Heart

When Su Yun's figure appeared in the center of the hall without any warning,

The entire hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.

All the high-level members of the Taiyi Holy Land stared at this sudden uninvited guest in a daze, as if they had seen a ghost.

Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief!

How is this possible?!

This was the Main Peak Hall of their Taiyi Holy Land.

It was surrounded by top-tier Mountain-Protecting Formations and Restrictions that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years!

Never mind a person.

Even a mosquito couldn't possibly break in silently without alerting anyone!

But the man before them had just entered like that!

As if strolling through his own backyard, relaxed and at ease.

This had completely exceeded their scope of understanding.

"You... just who are you? Are you human or a ghost?!" an Elder asked in terror, pointing at Su Yun with a trembling voice.

"Heh."

Su Yun chuckled upon hearing this.

He didn't answer the foolish question, but merely swept his gaze slowly over everyone present with a playful and scrutinizing look.

Finally, his gaze landed on the Taiyi Holy Master on the throne, whose face was turning pale and blue.

"Taiyi Holy Master, I presume?"

Su Yun spoke slowly. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority of a superior.

"I have come here today for only one thing."

"What is it?"

The Taiyi Holy Master forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a heavy voice.

He could sense that although this young man's cultivation seemed to be only at the Nascent Soul Realm...

But the faint, dangerous Aura emanating from him...

Made even a powerhouse like him, who had half a foot in the Undergoing Tribulation realm, feel bursts of palpitations!

This person is definitely not simple!

"Submit."

Su Yun faintly spat out two words.

"Or, die."

Boom!

These two words were like two heavy hammers, ruthlessly smashing into the hearts of everyone present.

Their heads buzzed.

Arrogant! Too arrogant!

They admitted this young man was mysterious and powerful.

But he was only one person after all, yet he dared to break into their Taiyi Holy Land alone and demand their entire Holy Land submit?

This was no longer just arrogance!

This was simply madness!

"Your Excellency, aren't you looking down on our Taiyi Holy Land a bit too much?!"

A hot-tempered Elder couldn't hold back any longer and roared, the terrifying Aura of the Dao Integration Realm Great Perfection erupting.

"Even if you have some strange methods, you are still just one person. And here, we have dozens of Dao Integration experts and thousands of Soul Transformation Cultivators. Do you think you can make us surrender just by yourself?"

"Noisy."

Su Yun frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He didn't even spare a glance at that Elder, but simply turned his gaze back to the Taiyi Holy Master and casually uttered two words.

"Kneel."

These two words contained no spiritual energy fluctuations; they were as plain as everyday conversation.

However, the moment the words fell, an invisible and intangible, yet supreme and irresistible majesty suddenly descended!

Word Spirit: Imperial Edict activated!

The angry expression on the face of the hot-tempered Elder who was just aggressive moments ago instantly froze.

He felt as if a vast and boundless decree from a Heavenly Emperor echoed deep within his Soul.

This decree directly crushed his will and stripped him of control over his body.

"No... NO!!"

He roared frantically in his heart, his Divine Soul trembling as he exhausted his life's cultivation to resist.

However, his body was completely out of control!

Under the silent gaze of the entire hall, this Grand Elder of the Dao Integration Realm Great Perfection,

His legs gave way, and with a "thud," he knelt straight down on the cold floor in an extremely humiliating posture.

His forehead slammed heavily against the ground, letting out a dull thud. His entire body trembled violently from fear and resentment, yet he couldn't even lift a finger!

Hiss—!

Seeing this scene, all the remaining Elders and Disciples in the hall couldn't help but gasp!

If Su Yun had killed this Elder in one move, they would have felt shock and fear.

But this scene brought them something far beyond fear, coming from the depths of their Souls... horror!

Killing isn't scary.

What's scary is making a powerhouse of the Dao Integration Realm Great Perfection abandon his dignity and kneel like a servant against his instincts, effortlessly and with just a single sentence!

This was no longer suppression on the level of power, but dominance on the level of existence!

"Law... Laws... No! This isn't the power of Law!"

On the throne, the Taiyi Holy Master's hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, trembled violently.

He was horrified to find that the moment those two words were spoken, even his own Soul felt an impulse to kneel and submit!

It was a sense of humility originating from the life Origin itself, as if a Mortal was meeting an Emperor, or an ant was looking up at the heavens!

The word spoken becomes the Law!

The action taken becomes the Edict!

This realization hit him like a thunderbolt to the top of his head.

It caused the slight hint of resistance that had just risen in him to vanish instantly.

It's over.

There's no way to fight.

A monster who can make his words become Law and strip others of their will is simply not something Cultivators at their level can contend with.

Never mind that they only had dozens of Soul Transformation Cultivators here; even if there were hundreds or thousands more, it would likely just be a matter of a single sentence from the opponent.

This is the true "subduing the enemy without fighting"! The technique of crushing the heart!

"Now, does anyone else have an objection?"

After doing all this, Su Yun acted as if nothing had happened.

There was no expression on his face as he asked again faintly.

Within the hall, there was total silence.

All the remaining Elders and Disciples kept their heads down, not even daring to breathe loudly.

They didn't even dare to meet Su Yun's gaze, fearing they would become the next "slave" who lost control of themselves and made a fool of themselves in public.

"Very good."

Su Yun nodded with satisfaction. He looked at the Taiyi Holy Master on the throne, whose expression was constantly shifting, and a playful curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Taiyi Holy Master, you are a smart man. I think you should know how to choose."

Hearing this, the Taiyi Holy Master showed a bitter smile that looked worse than crying.

Is there even a choice?

He slowly walked down from the throne and then, under the shocked gazes of everyone, knelt on one knee before Su Yun.

"Taiyi greets... Master!"

He chose to submit.

Because he knew very well that submitting might mean losing dignity, but not submitting would mean being stripped of even the right to think about the word "dignity."

And he didn't want to become a walking corpse.

"Greetings, Master!"

Seeing that even the Holy Master had knelt, the remaining Elders and Disciples in the hall no longer hesitated and knelt in unison.

A sound like crashing mountains and roaring seas echoed throughout the hall.

Su Yun looked at this scene that satisfied him immensely, a victor's smile appearing on his face.

He walked up to the Taiyi Holy Master, helped him up from the ground, patted his shoulder, and said in a friendly tone.

"Rise. From today on, you are still the master of the Taiyi Holy Land, only... under me."

"Also, congratulations. You have made the wisest choice for yourself and your Holy Land."

Saying this, his tone shifted.

"Now, I order you to immediately assemble all the forces within your Holy Land. Within three days, I want there to be only one voice in the entire Central Region."

"And that will be the voice of me, Su Yun!"
