Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation
Chapter 996: True Wealth
Xiao Bai looked below the tall platform. There was indeed a group of people there who had arrived a while back and waited for a long time.
She stuck her tongue out and smiled with embarrassment before quickly going down with Yuan Xu and Kong Yuan.
Following that, a group of people came up. The one leading them was an old man whose cultivation was not very high, barely a peak Martial Monarch. He looked very ordinary.
The group of people accompanying the old man carried a two-hundred-meter-long metal box. They seemed to be struggling as they walked behind him.
The old man performed a cupped-fist salute as he said, “Under the orders of our Young Master Ye Chen, we come forth to congratulate you on being conferred King and present a meager gift. I hope we are not disrespectful.”
Ye Chen?
This was a name that Xia Houjue had never heard of before. He already learned his lesson earlier, so he looked at the black-clad old man. The old man shook his head to indicate that he never heard of such a person in the Kunlun Continent, either.
Of all the famous factions, none was lead by someone with the family name Ye.
Xia Houjue was very confident that this person spent money to purchase his invitation to provide support for Xiao Chen.
He smiled coldly to himself. I don’t believe that all your friends are major characters who stand at the top. The servant is only a peak Martial Monarch. How strong can the master be?
Originally, Xia Houjue planned on using this portion of the ceremony to embarrass Xiao Chen deeply before he was formally conferred King.
However, who would have imagined that while the Supreme Sky Sect was indeed the only one to present a gift from the Tianwu Domain, the gift was so precious that it eclipsed all the gifts that he received combined?
After that, when the Spirit Fox King’s adoptive daughter presented her gift, Xia Houjue was further embarrassed.
Since when had Xia Houjue ever been so embarrassed, especially before all the outstanding talents of the world? How could he endure this frustration?!
Xia Houjue circulated his Law Energy and held his hand up, sending out a blast of energy consisting of Holy Might.
This blow caught the old man off guard. How could he have anticipated that Xia Houjue would attack him? He vomited a mouthful of blood and went flying back.
“Men! Carefully check this person’s invitation and check his identity. Do you think any random person can just come to my King conferral ceremony? What a scandal!”
Although Xia Houjue had a dark expression, he secretly felt very pleased. Xiao Chen, let’s see how you are going to deal with this. Just a person who came in by buying his ticket, yet he is not ashamed to come and offer his congratulations.
Today, I will beat him up in front of everyone. What can you do to me?
“Pa!”
A resounding slap rang out. Xiao Chen revealed murderous intent in his eyes. He had thrown a slap in the time it took for a spark to fly.
Since I can no longer endure it, there is no need for me to endure it!
The White Emperor City’s Holy Master secretly made moves on me on my path to Kingship, contriving dangers around me and nearly preventing me from making it to the King conferral ceremony.
I managed to get all the way here after so much difficulty, yet this fellow picks on everything, mocking them with his words.
Keeping the big picture in mind, I endured over and over again. However, this fellow persists in pushing things. He actually even attacked the person that my friend sent to congratulate me.
So, Xiao Chen did something that no one expected. Before the eyes of everyone, he slapped the Holy Scion and sent him flying.
Not only Xia Houjue was stunned by this slap. Everyone was stunned as well.
Before the eyes of the world, right under the nose of the Martial God Palace, Xiao Chen sent Xia Houjue flying with a slap.
The slap was loud since Xiao Chen used a lot of force. Everyone in the Tianwu Plaza heard that resounding slap.
Even Di Wuque sitting next to Tian Youxi fell into a slight daze. He murmured, “He is too sharp. I have to stop him this time. Otherwise, he will become a problem.”
Many others thought the same as Di Wuque. Xia Houjue was clearly trying to make things difficult for Xiao Chen, purposely injuring the person who came to present him with a gift, embarrassing him.
Who could have known that Xiao Chen would be so decisive, that he would react immediately in the fiercest manner?
Since you dare to hit my people, I dare to hit your face. If you want to see who can be more ruthless, let’s see who can play to the end.
Murderous intent flashed on the previously calm face of the Corpse God Palace’s personal disciple, Xing Jue. No one knew what he was thinking.
A few of the people who had a beef with Xiao Chen and were preparing to seek trouble with him during the King conferral ceremony all showed unsightly expressions.
“You dare to slap me!”
Xia Houjue revealed an expression of extreme rage. He stretched out his hand, and a figure roared. The clouds came from the dragon, but the wind came from the tiger. As the tiger roared, violent winds blew.
Violent wind? What was a violent wind? What did a wind need before it could be called violent?
It had to have power, boundless power. Higher than the sky, wider than the ground, vaster than the sea, and more ferocious than the river.
The wind that Xia Houjue gathered could truly be called violent. By just pointing, he summoned wind from all directions and created a black tornado that sucked Xiao Chen in.
“Rumble…!”
A gale blew, and bolts of lightning tore across the sky. The clouds pressed low, and heavy rain poured down.
Wind, rain, and lightning. First came the wind, followed by the rain and lightning flashing and rumbling.
By pointing and using wind as the foundation, Xia Houjue materialized a complete mysterious phenomenon that instantly allowed the might of his finger to increase tenfold.
In his rage, when Xia Houjue attacked, he materialized the mysterious phenomenon of wind, rain, and lightning as he struck at Xiao Chen. A violent aura spread out from his body.
When everyone in the Tianwu Plaza felt Xia Houjue’s sharpness and will, they only had one word in mind: violent!
“I really underestimated Xia Houjue. I did not expect that just one finger of his was so mighty.”
“Holy Scion. After all, he is a Holy Scion. I wonder how Xiao Chen is doing in there.”
“He is probably not in a good state. Xia Houjue gathered momentum too fast with this move. Wind blew and rain fell; lightning soon followed. If one were within a hundred meters, they would simply have no way to dodge.”
The suddenly berserk Xia Houjue changed the situation in the plaza. It seemed like a battle between a tiger and a dragon was about to take place.
The strength that Xia Houjue displayed when he attacked without any warning astonished everyone. Unexpectedly, he managed to pull in Xiao Chen. Everyone wondered how Xiao Chen was doing inside the tornado.
Pure moonlight poured out of the black tornado. A full moon hung high in the air, and the sky turned dark—a perfect night and a perfect moon, lonely, cold, and quiet.
A gentle breeze blew. The saber sounded like music, like zither and flute, never-ending, echoing like a cool breeze on a mountain peak.
Calm and at ease, not panicking in the face of danger.
One can be as violent as one wants, but the bright moon will still shine on the river; one can be as harsh and unreasonable as one wants, but the cool breeze will still blow in the mountain valley.
The energy will eventually be exhausted. No matter how violent he is, I remain unmoving. What will follow is the wind scattering, the rain stopping, and the lightning breaking.
Xia Houjue’s expression changed slightly. The might of this move could shake the nine heavens. However, it seemed to have struck cotton, hitting nothing.
The might of one move was, after all, just one move. If he wanted to continue, he would have to change moves.
With a thought, Xia Houjue formed a hand seal with one hand, intending to shift to another move.
“Boom!”
However, when the energy of Xia Houjue’s move was running down, a saber light shot out of the black tornado.
The gale thus dissipated, and the thunderstorm it drove naturally collapsed.
It seemed like that berserk strike shattered with the appearance of that saber light.
Just when Xia Houjue was about to launch his second move, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and took the initiative to counterattack.
The bright moon in the sky turned into a saber Qi and arrived as a surprise attack. Xia Houjue could only scatter his energy and defend. This saber Qi knocked him into the air once again. Blood leaked out of a corner of his lips; he apparently suffered a significant injury.
“Young Master Xia, the invitation is not fake. These are the men that the Heavenly Starry Ocean’s Northern Sea Alliance’s Alliance Chief’s Young Master sent personally.”
Just when the furious Xia Houjue leaped back to his feet, preparing to fight Xiao Chen, the Martial God Palace’s people finally finished checking this old man’s invitation and announced the result.
“How can this be?! This group of people is from the Northern Sea Alliance!”
Xia Houjue felt somewhat dizzy, losing all his fighting spirit, a chill running down his spine in its stead.
He had actually attacked the Northern Sea Alliance’s people. The Northern Sea Alliance was far from the Kunlun Continent. It was no wonder he had never heard of Ye Chen’s name.
However, he had heard of the Northern Sea Alliance before. That was a superpower of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. While they were weaker and not as wealthy as the Martial God Palace, they were much stronger than his White Emperor City. Disasters really do not come alone.
First, he offended the Spirit Fox King’s adoptive daughter. Then, he offended the Northern Sea Alliance’s people. Why were all of Xiao Chen’s friends demonic geniuses?
When everyone gazed at Xia Houjue, their expressions turned from sympathy to pity.
The White Emperor City had made a lot of preparations for the offering of congratulations and gifts. Most of the major factions of the Tianwu Domain arrived one after another, making Xia Houjue look good.
However, when it came to Xiao Chen, Shui Lingling alone outdid what Xia Houjue received.
Not only did Xia Houjue end up embarrassing himself, but he even offended the Spirit Fox King and the Northern Sea Alliance, two titans of the Kunlun Continent, one after another.
“Old sir, are you alright?!”
By slapping Xia Houjue, Xiao Chen managed to vent some of his frustration, so he lost interest in tangling with him. He quickly went over to the old man that Xia Houjue attacked.
The old man smiled and replied, “I am not heavily injured. I will be fine after resting for a while. Young Master said that Young Master Xiao values friendship. And, indeed, you do. You are truly worthy of this gift.
“Open the box. Let Young Master Xiao appreciate this gift. The gift that our Young Master sent will not embarrass the Northern Sea Alliance.”
Despite having ten peak Martial Monarchs carry this two-hundred-meter-long box, they still struggled.
Everyone had long since felt curious about the box’s contents. Xiao Chen’s friends seemed to be increasingly incredible.
The Spirit Fox King’s adoptive daughter already gave a Holy Spirit Vein. Could the thing in the box rival a Holy Spirit Vein?
When the cultivators carrying the metal box heard the order to raise its lid, they all heaved sighs of relief. With flips of their hands, they released the latches on the box.
The huge metal lid immediately sprang open.
“Roar!”
The instant the metal box opened, a long-suppressed dragon roar boomed from it, shaking the surroundings. Surging Dragon Might spread everywhere.
This was different from the Dragon Might that ordinary cultivators imitated. This was the most primeval Dragon Might containing an ancient aura that lasted several tens of thousands of years.
“The voice of a True Dragon!”
“What is contained in there? Such a horrifying Dragon Might! Could it be a complete True Dragon’s spine?”
“A two-hundred-meter-long True Dragon’s spine? That is too extreme. Just how big was this True Dragon when it was alive?”
True Dragon bones were worth cities. Their rarity was self-evident. Among the bones, the countless vertebrae of the True Dragon’s spine were the most precious.
