214: King Kee: I just spoke a little too loudly!

Faced with this sudden siege, Su Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a light step forward, shielding the women behind him.

He did not take out any Magic Treasure; with just a slight movement of his mind, a faint light emerged from his body, and a majestic Aura erupted from him, spreading outwards explosively!

"Boom—!"

The spiritual light of the Magic Treasures attacking from the sky seemed to crash into an invisible, indestructible wall, instantly freezing in mid-air!

Those fifty Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage felt an indescribable, terrifying pressure descend, weighing heavily upon their Divine Souls and mana!

The fifty Cultivators instantly turned pale, their bodies trembling. Those with weaker Physiques even groaned, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths as they staggered backward.

The entire palace hall fell into a deathly silence.

There was only the sound of heavy breathing and the clanging of Magic Treasures falling to the ground.

Su Yang had only released a portion of his pressure and had not truly launched an attack; this Aura alone had instantly dismantled the siege!

Their eyes were filled with incredulous fear.

In their eyes, Su Yang was nothing more than a Cultivator at the Peak Late Nascent Soul Stage.

He was stronger than them, but it was only a difference of a small Realm.

There were fifty of them, giving them an absolute advantage in numbers.

Yet Su Yang had rendered them all combat-ineffective with a single burst of pressure. This... he was definitely not just a Cultivator at the Peak Late Nascent Soul Stage; he had absolutely hidden his true strength!

And, he had hidden it very deeply!

It wasn't just these Cultivators.

Kaidun III saw his fifty Nascent Soul Cultivators subdued in an instant, his pupils constricted sharply. The furious expression on his Face froze, replaced by extreme shock and solemnity.

He himself was a powerful Body Cultivator with the strength of the Soul Transformation Stage, so he could naturally sense just how terrifying the pressure Su Yang released so casually was!

This pressure far exceeded any Cultivator he had ever seen!

It even... caused a sense of trembling to rise from the depths of his Soul.

This young man... what exactly is his cultivation base?!

The few women beside him who had not yet made a move also possessed unfathomable Auras!

This strength could definitely kill him with ease!

Seeing his expression, Su Yang slowly retracted his pressure and looked calmly at Kaidun III: "Your Majesty, can we have a proper talk now?"

Kaidun III's expression shifted uncertainly, his chest heaving violently.

He looked at the fifty Nascent Soul Cultivators who could not move, then at Su Yang, who looked indifferent, as if he had merely brushed away dust, and at the women behind him who remained calm and composed, with a hint of playfulness in their beautiful eyes.

Kaidun III knew very well that he had kicked an iron plate.

The strength of this group before him was likely enough to easily topple his entire Empire!

When they said they wanted to discuss things earlier, that word 'discuss' was likely giving him a massive amount of Face!

Even someone as brawny as Kaidun III was not entirely brainless.

To be able to sit on the throne in the martial Kaiyue Empire and recruit so many Cultivators, he possessed his own wisdom and the ability to assess the situation.

The fury on his Face receded like a tide, and Kaidun III suddenly grinned broadly, letting out a loud and somewhat exaggerated laugh.

"Hahahaha! Good! Good skills! Truly, heroes come from the youth! No, you are an Immortal! It was this King who was blind and offended a distinguished guest!"

He waved his large hand and said to the fifty Nascent Soul Cultivators struggling to get up on the ground: "The distinguished guest has shown mercy; why haven't you thanked him for sparing your lives?"

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist for showing mercy!"

The fifty Nascent Soul Cultivators quickly bowed and retreated from the palace hall in a wretched state.

The shock in their hearts was beyond words.

So young, could it be that he is a mighty figure at the Body Integration Stage? Or perhaps a legendary mighty figure at the Tribulation Stage!?

If not, how could he have easily defeated fifty of them at the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage simultaneously!?

Unfortunately, they would not get an answer.

The more they guessed, the more terrified they became.

Of course, no matter how they guessed, they still could not imagine Su Yang's actual strength!

Kaidun III strode down from his throne and came before Su Yang, his massive frame bringing a gust of wind with it.

He examined Su Yang carefully; there was no longer any hostility in his eyes, but rather, they were filled with burning curiosity and a kind of... excitement at seeing someone stronger.

"Please do not take offense, distinguished guest. This King is a rough man with a somewhat short temper."

Kaidun III rubbed his large hands, his tone becoming exceptionally warm, "Come, come, come! This King will set up a banquet immediately to apologize to you all. Let us eat and talk; we can discuss anything!"

He deliberately emphasized the word 'discuss', the meaning of which was self-evident.

Su Yang smiled slightly, knowing that this King had understood the situation and had quickly changed his attitude. He nodded and said: "Your Majesty is too kind, please."

The women smiled beautifully.

Although this King had a fiery temper, his ability to assess the situation was top-notch.

Less than an hour later.

A grand and rugged banquet was held in another palace hall.

The massive stone table was laden with whole roasted Yao Beasts, golden and crispy.

Large barrels of strong liquor.

And mountains of local delicacies.

Kaidun III sat in the main seat, with Su Yang and the others seated on both sides to accompany him. Only a few trusted attendants served in the hall.

"Come, come, come! Do not be polite!"

"Our Kaiyue Empire respects the strong most of all. You are all strong, and I was rude just now! This banquet will serve as my apology to you Immortals! Drink!"

Kaidun III raised his cup directly.

Su Yang naturally wanted to give him a way out, so he raised his cup and said: "Your Majesty is too kind. I was also a bit rude just now. This first cup of wine, I toast to Your Majesty, wishing for your reign to remain secure forever!"

Kaidun III laughed heartily.

"Come, come, come! Drink deeply and eat heartily! These are delicacies you cannot find anywhere else, have a taste."

Kaidun III was very warm, his attitude completely different from before in the main hall.

Su Yang was naturally not afraid of any petty tricks like poisoning.

This King had already experienced his strength and must know that such low-level tricks would have no effect. If he were still playing such tricks at this time, he probably wouldn't be sitting on this throne anymore.

"Drink!"

Su Yang treated it as tasting some exotic food.

They drank and chatted freely.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became lively.

Kaidun III downed several large bowls of strong liquor in a row, wiped his mouth, and finally couldn't help but get straight to the point.

"Brother Su!"

He had familiarly changed his form of address: "That Spirit Stone you want, it concerns the national fortune of my Kaiyue Kingdom and the foundation of my people. By all rights, it absolutely cannot be given to outsiders."

His tone shifted, and he looked at Su Yang with burning eyes: "But your strength is clear. If you really wanted to seize it by force, I fear that even if my Kaiyue Kingdom used all our national strength, we could not stop you. You did not attack directly but came to discuss it with me instead. If I were to refuse, that would be a bit ungrateful."

"Since we are going to discuss it, let us be open about it."

Kaidun III leaned forward and lowered his voice: "Whether I give you the Spirit Stone or not, you will definitely take it. Since that is the case, I might as well offer it voluntarily. However, I have two conditions!"
