--- Chapter 141 ---
"What's the meaning of this?"
Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, and Chu Yueli are fighting against the elders of Four Great Sacred Grounds. Of course, they are doing alright because of their mastery over the profound aspect and deep foundation.
Chu Yuechan is not far away, freezing an armless Fen Juechen and dying Sikong Du, who has a spear impaled on his chest.
The Frozen Cloud Asgard's ladies are helping Chu Yuechan, preventing these two young men from dying.
It was a mess.
"What happened?" Yu Long flashed to Chu Yuechan's side and tapped Fen Juechen's freezing shoulder, transferring Yang(Life)'s Energy and healing power from the Great Way of Buddha.
Chu Yuechan stopped freezing Fen Juechen's excessive bleeding and answered Yu Long's question, "These people appeared out of nowhere and started questioning everyone."
"At first, it was quite civil, but one suddenly attacked Xia Qingyue after he knew she had a connection with you and from the Lost Heaven Sect." She clenched her hand hard.
Yu Long facepalmed and whispered coldly, "Those fossils are not taking me seriously. After I struck their pride slightly, they probably thought of repaying me and wanting Xia Qingyue to threaten me."
Meanwhile, Fen Juechen's condition improved, and his complexion was no longer pale. His cut arms showed signs of regenerating. It displays just how powerful Yu Long's healing ability is.
Fen Juechen grunted painfully, "M-Milord..."
Yu Long glanced at Fen Juechen and replied, "Go sleep. I will handle the rest."
"W-What about Sikong Du?"
"He will be fine."
"T-Thank you." Fen Juechen gratefully said before fainting on the spot. His body shutting itself down for better recovery.
"How compassionate..." Chu Yuechan mumbled.
Yu Long smiled and treated Sikong Du as well, pulling the spear out of his chest. Sikong Du coughed a mouthful of clogged blood and also fainted on the spot, but his condition improved rapidly.
"Stay here and protect them." Yu Long instructed Chu Yuechan.
"Understood!" Chu Yuechan nodded, bringing Song of the Broken Pine from its sheath. She was ready to fight for her young master.
"The same goes for you four." Yu Long added for the Frozen Cloud Asgard's ladies.
Murong Qianxue and others could only nod. They wanted to help Yu Long, but they knew their limit. With their current level, they would only be a burden for him.
'Are you going to slaughter these rats now?' Jasmine's voice comes into Yu Long's mind. 'Hmph, this princess doesn't mind helping you with the price of your hand-made desserts.'
"No," Yu Long answered immediately. "I don't need your help to deal with these small fries."
[Art of Violet Mist - Domain Expansion: Cruel Cloud, Purple Heaven] Yu Long's chest let a soft hum, and a violet light expanded from his heart.
The violet light is like an ocean wave, spreading to all corners of the Sword Management Terrace.
"Anyone who moves the next second will be burned to ashes..." Yu Long's golden eyes gained a purple ring. He looks like a tyrant who ruled the domain with an iron fist.
His voice is the celestial decree.
Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, and Chu Yueli awkwardly froze on the spot. But one could see a smile blooming behind their veils.
Contrary to Xia Qingyue and two others' awkward reactions, the elders of Four Great Sacred Grounds still moved. They frowned and stared at Yu Long not far away, shaking their heads.
"Brat, you might have caught everyone off guard earlier. But this great me hasn't used my full strength!" Said the elder who had thrown a spear at Yu Long earlier.
"And what makes you think I used my full strength?" Yu Long mocked with a smirk. "Just die, you fossil."
BOOM!
The elder exploded into fiery ashes.
Domain Expansion is a technique one could implement upon reaching a higher mastery of their profound art.
Xia Qingyue has one related to her [Ocean Quake Symbols].
Cang Yue has one related to her modified [Monarch Heart Secret Art].
Yu Long's [Art of Purple Violet] also has one, which has the extreme effect of controlling Yang Energy in an absolute manner. He could bend and shape Yang Energy to his will, creating fire and combusting one's body like fuel.
Of course, no one could feel the difference because Yu Long controlled Yang Energy very well, and nothing had changed physically.
The death of that elder was a waking-up alarm for every elder in the area.
"This is..."
"How could he cause his enemy to explode with just words??"
"Insane, the world has become insane!"
"Is the Lost Heaven Sect that powerful? How could I have never heard about this monster?"
Yu Long didn't show mercy and stared at the people who joined hands with the now-ashes elder. He killed them with the same method, making everyone in the area shiver in fear.
'I didn't even bother to extract their essence. I don't want to sully [Kaiju Maker].' Yu Long thought emotionlessly.
Is this the power of the Lost Heaven Sect's young leader?
"What the hell happened here?!" A shout of surprise entered the field. It came from the center of Sword Management Terrace, or more precisely, the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation.
Long Gang, the elder of Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, looked at the piles of ashes in horror. He noticed half of the elders that came to the Heavenly Sword Villa had gone!
At the same time, Yu Long also appeared again.
"Something is not right." Said the elder from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region beside Long Gang.
"You, explain." He pointed to an elder from the Sun Moon Divine Hall.
The elder grimaced and was about to open his mouth when Yu Long suddenly cut them off.
"Don't bother. I killed those elders." Yu Long said casually. "They dared to lay their dirty hands on my people."
Long Gang was speechless.
And more so to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region's elder. He couldn't believe his ears again.
Fending Yun Canghai is already a huge feat, but killing 7 or 8 monarch-level experts in a minute is something else. Even though these monarch-level experts are weaker than Mighty Heavenly Sword Region's upper echelons, they are still at early-stage Sovereign Profound Realm.
"Sword Jue, it seems that slimy bastard wanted to use our absence and attack those young ladies for revenge against Young Hero Yu Long." Long Gang said with a dark expression.
He also couldn't help but curse at those foolish elders' stupidity. Can't they understand their act will lead to their own demise?!
Yu Long is from the Lost Heaven Sect. A new faction they just knew, yet a young monster like him was born there.
As an elder, Long Gang thought these people would be cautious and act accordingly. But no! Their stupidity has no bounds.
Xuanyuan Jue, the elder of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, stared at Yu Long silently. "You know the consequence of attacking the Four Great Sacred Grounds, right?"
"Xuanyuan Jue!" Long Gang stared at the elder with a disbelieving look. At first, he thought Xuanyuan Jue was trying to calm the situation, so why would he start with such a sentence?
Xuanyuan Jue is trying to intimidate Yu Long.
Yu Long unexpectedly grinned, "So what?"
"They touched my people first." He knew just how prideful a cultivator can be. Attack one, and one thousand come to avenge that person a moment later.
One might think Yu Long will be in a better light by repelling the Demon King Yun Canghai away from Heavenly Sword Villa. It only took one 'bad' impression to offend these prideful cultivators.
"I've said it earlier... I can kill him, and I would if you pushed me far enough." Yu Long gave Xuanyuan Jue a mocking gaze.
"What are you going to do about it? Attack me?"
"What about going to war? My Lost Heaven Sect is happy to face your Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, and let's see who will fall first..."
Bold!
Very bold!
Everyone stared at Yu Long like he was a madman. How could he declare war against one of the Four Great Sacred Grounds this easily?
Well, Yu Long wasn't and will never be a pushover.
'Why wait for the enemy to attack when you can start first?' Yu Long was confident with his factions. He has prepared for nearly ten years to conquer the Blue Pole Star.
"W-War? Young Hero, your joke is not funny at all, haha..." Long Gang laughed bitterly.
"It's not a joke." Xuanyuan Jue unknowingly felt fear of the unknown.
"He's serious when saying that."
"Yeah, Let's start a War!" Yu Long added boldly.
"..." Long Gang gulped, finding Yu Long impossible to read.
"What do you think?" Yu Long stared at Xuanyuan Jue.
Xuanyuan Jue gritted his teeth, "Just you wait. I will get the end of this when I return to the holy land."
After that, Xuanyuan Jue left the Sword Management Terrace.
'Hmph, no balls.' Yu Long sneered inwardly.
As Xuanyuan Jue left, Yu Long moved his gaze to Long Gang.
"Anyway, why did you find it?"
Long Gang shook his head and replied, "Barely anything. We still don't know how the Demon King escaped the seal, but there is a sign of the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation weakened from inside."
"Maybe the Demon King has become stronger using unorthodox methods."
"I see..." Yu Long feigns ignorance. After all, he was the one who modified and weakened the formation.
Long Gang gave Yu Long a bitter smile, "I'm sorry for Xuanyuan Jue's acts earlier. I, the elder of Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, wouldn't hold you accountable for those deaths."
"They offended you first, and you have the right to defend your people."
"So their death is well deserved."
"But you might want to be cautious from now on. You have offended the Sun Moon Divine Hall and Supreme Ocean Palace by burning those elders to ashes today."
"They are narrow-minded and do things over the top."
"They can try." Yu Long responded straightforwardly.
"There is nothing wrong with being extra careful." Long Gang bade his farewell and left. The same goes for other elders.
They didn't want to stay near Yu Long, fearing he'd kill them as well.
...
A few minutes later.
Yu Long brought the injured backs to their courtyards. The news of Heavenly Sword Villa's destruction will soon spread over the Blue Wind Empire.
The Demon King's escape will make any super factions on the continent wary. Yun Canghai can be anywhere, waiting for his revenge.
Yu Long and four other ladies arrived on the quiet part of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range. Yes, this place is one of the few lucky areas where Yu Long and Yun Canghai didn't fight.
They are currently standing before a gate made of coarse rock. And there is a translucent portal in the center of it.
"Next, the Heaven Basin Secret Realm." Yu Long said, leading his group into the portal.
