~ Several Hours Later ~
~ High Heaven Palace's Central Grounds ~
A large number of High Heaven Palace's people, including a large number of disciples from across the Star Boundary assembled here. The formally nearly clear area was now jam packed with Disciples bumping shoulders. The sheer number of cultivators here was staggering. And yet it was nothing compared to the true number of Star Boundaries forces.
"Sister, do you know why everyone was called here? This is a huge force." A cultivator asked, another.
"Junior Brother, look around us, do you see anyone here below the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm, The Dao Seal?" She asked.
"No, is there a reason for that? It's a bit hard to breathe under this much pressure." The slightly younger cultivator asked, breathing heavily and gulping every once in a while.
"Circulate your strength if it's really that hard for you. But do you seriously not understand what's happening?" The Senior Sister sighed. "We are likely to receive war orders. Someone has decided to offend someone they shouldn't have." She explained.
"Something like that, is enough for this?" The junior brother asked.
"Yes, depending on what the offender did. And who they did it to. I heard a rumor about something that happened a few weeks ago. This is likely related to that incident." The Senior Sister said.
"Oh, I heard about that. Did a 7th rank from the Myriad Demons Cave Heaven truly raise their hand against Young Master Yang's little sister in law?" Another cultivator asked.
"I'm not sure, but… I doubt that such a powerful man would let something like that slide. So this could be about that. Or, perhaps the offense had not been remedied and instead compounded." The Senior Sister shook her head.
A moment of intense pressure filled the area. And then the entire Star Boundary became covered in one super massive storm. Thunder rumbled like gongs and drums. Lightning struck violently the whole Universe World over. Not a single area was left unaffected. And even the mighty sub tree's branches waved in the wind.
Then in the air above the Central Grounds a large bolt of lightning appeared. Out of it, figures were seen by everyone below. There they saw the ruling family of High Heaven Palace. And in the lead was the Young Master, me.
My eyes were filled, radiating my Dao strength. The depth of which made everyone gulp with fear at the sheer depth. "Endless?" Many thought with the looks on their faces. Behind me appeared an aura that exuded to the true air of a ruler. The aura of Star Boundary mixed in, showing that my auctions are supported by the will of the Star Boundary. All disciples cupped their hands, bowed reverently. Very rarely would a scene like this even happen.
"""Greetings, Young master, Lord Temporal Thunder!"""
"Good. Today, I have a royal order. Myriad Demons Cave Heaven has offended not just myself, they have offended my family, my father, my Palace and my Star Boundary. Their representative dared to raise a hand against my family in my presence. I punished him. And demanded their Supreme Elder take responsibility and come to apologize. They have since not only refused this, but have bothered to complain about how woe is them. With this, my High Heaven Palace must punish the fools. So starting today, all disciples of Myriad Demons Cave Heaven are now to be targeted. Do not kill them. Only cause them severe injury, pain and suffering. This is the only way to teach the fools the lesson they do not yet understand." I said, my voice booming out with power, throughout the entire star boundary.
"""As you command!"""
"However, I am merciful. So as long as their disciples do not leave their training grounds, they shall be safe. Another thing to note, as of now, I know there are numerous people trying to marry into my High Heaven Palace from Myriad Demon's. You will not be attacked so long as you stay here. Alternatively, I am willing to preside over your unions here and now. If you refuse now, you will be forced to wait until after this conflict is resolved. Understood?" I explained. "If you understand and wish to do this now, come forward and let all of my people bear witness to your union. I will also give you a gift. Two to be exact. One for welcoming you, and another for choosing righteousness over the stupidity that is your Mo Sha Divine Monarch." I added.
Everyone knows that a gift from me is almost guaranteed to be special medicine. So there were actually a fair number of people who flew up. They were a bit terrified under the pressure, but they were brave enough to come up.
"Good, I know it is hard to leave your family when they are about to suffer calamity. But my people will welcome you as one of our very own. May all of you couples be wed. I Temporal Thunder Great Emperor say it as so." I said, passing two red boxes to each of the couples. "As for those who are marrying out of my High Heaven Palace. You should forget about it, for now at least. I can not in good conscience allow any of my people to be in a position under such an idiot. You will however be given a grace period to bring that loved one over to High Heaven palace." I added, while the couples couldn't help but land now that they got too relaxed. "Remember this is a standing order! Until Mo Sha comes to confront me personally, their people will suffer under their idiocy. And now, as for you other Cave Heaven Paradise's People. If you dare to interfere… Let's just say, you're better off not interfering." I added.
And then I along with the ruling family vanished in a single massive bolt. The Storm calmed and vanished shortly after. Then the pressure vanished. There was a moment where the High Heaven Palace was quiet… Then a battle cry rang out.
Some people went up to the newly wed couples and congratulated them. Hua Qing Si appeared and clapped. "Now, all of you who chose to accept Young Master's kindness just now, come with me and I'll issue you all your new identity tokens and High Heaven Palace's Disciple uniform." She smiled.
