202: Chapter 202 The Xiao Family Grand Competition, the Arrival of the Young Master of Tian Shu Palace
For a Mortal, three months might be the cycle of spring and summer, a season of withering and flourishing.
But for an Immortal, especially in a place like Qifeng Pavilion where the Immortal Qi is as dense as liquid, it is nothing more than the snapping of fingers.
Over these three months, Su Yun lived exceptionally comfortably.
Every day, he was either engaging in "Dual Cultivation" with Xiao Ruoxue, analyzing her pure Origin of extreme cold.
Or he was letting Zi Yun, like a little maid, deliver the Heaven And Earth Treasure scavenged from the Xiao Family treasury into his map of mountains and rivers like a flowing stream.
Inside Qifeng Pavilion, on that jade bed crafted from ten-thousand-year cold jade marrow, Su Yun slowly opened his eyes.
The Origin of Heavenly Dao within his body had now perfectly merged with the Frost Law from the Upper Realm that he had analyzed from Xiao Ruoxue.
That plane barrier, which had always felt like looking at the world through a layer of frosted glass, was finally completely broken.
As for him now, although there was no earth-shattering Breakthrough in his cultivation Realm.
His understanding and application of the Dao rules of the Upper Realm had reached a brand new height.
It could be said that as long as he wanted, he could mobilize the power of the Law of this world for his own use at any time.
This feeling was like upgrading from a "guest mode" in a game to an "administrator" with partial backend privileges.
"Husband, are you awake?"
A voice that was charming to the bone rang in his ears.
Zi Yun did not know when she had leaned in, her large, watery eyes filled with infatuation and adoration.
In her hands, she held a bowl of spirit porridge brewed with Nine Heavens nectar and ten-thousand-year stalactite milk, blowing on it cautiously.
"Come, Husband, open your mouth, let me feed you."
Su Yun smiled and did not refuse.
He enjoyed this feeling of being served, especially since the person serving him was a goddess that countless Prodigies of the Upper Realm dreamed of.
Just as he opened his mouth, preparing to enjoy this "breakfast of love."
"Clang—!"
A distant and heavy bell chime came without warning from the main Peak of the Xiao Family Divine Mountain, resounding through the clouds.
This bell chime was completely different from the crisp ringing used to summon Disciples on ordinary days; it was filled with a sense of killing intent and warning.
This was the Xiao Family's "Demon Suppressing Bell," which would only be rung when facing a powerful enemy posing a threat of extermination!
Zi Yun's feeding motion paused, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
"What blind thing dares to come and disturb Husband's meal?"
As soon as she finished speaking.
"Clang—!"
"Clang—Clang—!"
The ringing of the Demon Suppressing Bell became increasingly urgent, one chime after another, like a drumbeat urging death, striking heavily upon the heart of every Xiao Family Disciple.
Immediately after, the entire Xiao Family Divine Mountain shook violently.
The originally clear sky was shrouded in endless dark clouds within just a few breaths.
Those were not ordinary dark clouds, but demon clouds formed by Evil Qi and killing intent so dense it could not be dissolved!
A suffocating sense of oppression descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Divine Mountain.
The cranes outside Qifeng Pavilion stopped chirping, and the Spirit Beasts prostrated on the ground, shivering.
The dense Immortal Qi in the air seemed to be instantly drained by an invisible hand, becoming thin and manic.
Su Yun picked up the bowl of spirit porridge, took a slow sip, and looked calmly at the dark sky outside the window.
"It seems the main culprit has arrived."
...
Xiao Family, white marble plaza.
At this moment, it had already turned into a mess here.
All the Xiao Family Disciples and Protectors rushed out of their respective Immortal Caves, staring at the sky with horror on their faces.
They saw that above the firmament, at some unknown time, ten thousand Immortal soldiers wearing black battle armor and holding blood-stained war halberds had hovered!
Their formations were strict and silent.
But the iron-blooded Evil Qi radiating from them gathered into a black ocean, dyeing the entire sky in the color of despair.
At the very front of these ten thousand black-armored Immortal soldiers were nine pure-blooded Dragons with bodies comparable to mountains!
Each Dragon exuded a terrifying aura comparable to the Peak of the Golden Immortal.
Their scales shimmered with a cold luster under the dark clouds, and in their dragon eyes was undisguised brutality and bloodlust.
And these nine arrogant pure-blooded Dragons were now like docile livestock, pulling a huge, magnificent chariot entirely forged from star divine iron.
That chariot seemed to have driven from the depths of the galaxy, crushing the Void Realm.
Carrying an unquestionable dominance and arrogance, it slowly descended above the main Peak of the Xiao Family.
"Tianshu Palace! It is the star chariot of Tianshu Palace!"
Within the crowd, someone let out a terrified scream.
Everyone's complexion turned pale at this moment.
Tianshu Palace, one of the top forces in the Upper Realm, had a foundation so deep that it was even above that of ordinary Immortal Emperor families.
What were they here for?
And, with such a massive mobilization, almost in a way of declaring war!
Just as everyone was suspicious and uncertain, the bead curtain of the star chariot was slowly lifted by a hand wearing a white jade thumb ring.
A young man wearing a purple star robe, with a handsome face but an extremely effeminate temperament, walked out of the chariot.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the entire Xiao Family Divine Mountain from a high position, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt and arrogance.
It was the Tianshu Palace Young Lord, Ye Wuhun!
"People of the Xiao Family, why have you not come out to welcome this Young Lord?"
His voice was not loud, but it clearly spread to every corner of the Divine Mountain.
As his voice fell, a majestic and vast star pressure belonging to the Half-step Immortal King level.
Like the Heavenly River pouring backward, it slammed down towards the white marble plaza below!
"Pfft—!"
The few Xiao Family Elders standing at the very front of the plaza responsible for welcoming guests didn't even have time to react before they all spat out a mouthful of blood.
Their whole bodies flew backward like kites with broken strings, slamming heavily onto the ground, life or death unknown.
In the entire plaza, thousands of Xiao Family Disciples, under this pressure, knelt on the ground in unison, unable to even lift their heads.
Humiliation!
Unprecedented humiliation!
Inside the Xiao Family main hall, Family Head slammed his hand on the armrest, and the entire Immortal wood throne instantly turned into powder.
His eyes were crimson, his Immortal Emperor might erupted uncontrollably, and he was about to rush out.
"Family Head, you must not!"
A Grand Elder hurriedly grabbed him tightly, "Tianshu Palace has come prepared; we cannot be impulsive!"
Just at this moment, Ye Wuhun's voice, filled with mockery, rang out again.
"Hehe, it seems that in three months, you Xiao Family have yet to give this Young Lord an answer."
"Today, this Young Lord is not only here to observe the Grand Competition, but also to... collect some interest."
Collect interest?
Everyone was stunned.
And just at this time, a few discordant voices rang out from among the kneeling Xiao Family high-level officials.
"Young Lord is right! My Xiao Family has been foul lately, and it really should be properly rectified!"
The ones speaking were the very Elders who had made things difficult for Su Yun at the Ascension Platform earlier.
They actually struggled to stand up at this moment, showing fawning smiles towards Ye Wuhun in the sky.
"All of this is because of that Lower Realm ant named Su Yun! It is he who bewitched the goddess and caused chaos in my Xiao Family!"
"We ask Young Lord to be discerning and uphold justice for my Xiao Family! As long as this villain can be eliminated, my Xiao Family is willing to agree to all of Tianshu Palace's conditions!"
These few sentences were like a thunderbolt, exploding in the hearts of all the Disciples loyal to the Xiao Family.
Traitors!
They had actually been bought by Tianshu Palace long ago!
The internal division of the Xiao Family was, at this moment, bloodily revealed and exposed before everyone.
Family Head looked at those fawning faces, trembling with anger, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
And Ye Wuhun in the sky seemed to have expected this scene long ago.
He nodded with satisfaction, the folding fan in his hand "swished" shut, and a meaningful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
His gaze passed over the crowd and locked directly onto the two adjacent pavilions deep within the Xiao Family main hall where the Immortal Qi was most dense.
"The interest is very simple."
Ye Wuhun's voice carried a hint of greedy playfulness.
"I heard that the Xiao Family not only has the goddess Xiao Ninger."
"But also has an... iceberg fairy who just broke through to Immortal King not long ago, Xiao Ruoxue?"
