Asura Sovereign 3

by Shian Jeen

  Coming out onto the streets, she bolted back again to the Castellan Manor.

  At this time, people within the Castellan Manor had noticed Sun Lin’s disappearance and all hell broke loose.

  “Lin’er, what happened?” Sun Qing noticed his girl walking in through the entrance, his stretched nerves relaxed as he asked anxiously.

  Sunlight Lin broke out in tears as she repeated through sobs what Fei Hou thought to her father.

  “Big Sword Sect!” Rage exploded in Sun Qing’s eyes hearing what she said: “They think we’re so weak to be bullied!”

  “Castellan, I believe there’s a problem with those four people.” At the moment, the manor’s steward stepped up and described, “According to what the other party said, they saw two black-clothed men abduct little Miss, yet why didn’t they stop them at that time? Why did they wait until little Miss was brought to an forgotten dilapidated courtyard before rescuing her?”

  Sunlight Qing’s brows furrowed deeply.

  “What little Miss said originated from the four people, we don’t know the actual truth of what actually took place.” Steward Liu Wen added: “Who knows if there were really any Big Sword Sect disciples. It is also a possibility that these were the ones that abducted little Miss and then forced the matter onto Big Sword Sect before letting little Miss keep coming back!”

  A sharp light flickered in Sun Qing’s eye as he looked over his make to a guard behind him, “Four of you go directly to the north side of the city, and search to see if there are any Big Sword Sect disciples’ corpses; the rest of you, follow me to Warm Fragrance Inn!”

  “If what they said is true, then it’s fine!”

  “However, if those four people truly planned all this deliberately and pushed the blame onto Big Sword Sect…!” The clear light in Sunlight Qing’s eyes deepened.

  Not long after, the Castellan Manor guards surrounded Warm Fragrance Inn.

  Nearby commoners were awakened by the ruckus.

  Inside one of the rooms, Fei Hou said to Huwang Xiao, “Sovereign was right, that Sun Qing doesn’t believe we saved his little girl.”

  Huwang Xiao nodded.

  The actual fact that Sun Qing didn’t believe what happened was something very normal.

  “Sovereign, should this Subordinate handle the situation?” Yu Ming required a step of progress, asking. If it was any other person, they might not believe it so easily as well. Huwang Xiao waved his hand with an unperturbed manner, “No need.”

  Suddenly at this time, the area door was broken open, and the Castellan Manor’s guards rushed inside with fierce expressions on their faces, accompanied by Sun Qing in the full grandeur of his Castellan robes.

  When Sunlight Qing walked into the room, his sullen face abruptly turned blank, and it stayed empty for quite a while as he stared at Huwang Xiao.

  Two years ago, Sun Qing once followed an over-all to the Marshal Mansion in Luo Tong Royal City to report military matters to Marshal Haotian. At that time, he was just a low-ranked soldier, and he didn’t even qualify to enter the mansion, thus he stood outside the entrance. From far away, he caught a glimpse of Huwang Xiao. Despite that, that scene stayed clear in his memory up to this day. The respectful demeanor Marshal Haotian experienced for the same son in front of him was unmistakable. After that time, he asked around and found out that young man was Huwang Xiao.

  “Huwang, Young, Young Professional Huwang!” Sun Qing snapped back to reality with an ashen face, and his hip and legs proceeded to go soft at the knees, “It, it was Young Master Huwang that saved my youngest daughter?”

  He actually brought an military to encircle Huwang Xiao? If…if Marshal Haotian got blowing wind of this, what would be his ending? He had noticed that even their Luo Tong Ruler described Huwang Xiao’s dad, Huwang Peng, as brothers!

 

  Ch.161

  “That’s right.” Huwang Xiao’s admission was aloof.

  Sunlight Qing shuddered hearing this. In front of the guards and Steward Liu Wen, Sun Qing instantly fell to his legs, “This little one deserves death! It was credited to a moment of confusion, and I did so not realize it was Young Grasp Huwang! I should die! I will die!” He was beginning to speak incoherently, struggling to string a proper sentence.

  As he carried on, Sunlight Qing slapped the still left aspect of his own face fiercely.

  Moments later, blood was trickling down from the corner of his mouth area.

  The Castellan Manor guards were stupefied watching what was happening with Castellan Sun Qing.

  Young Expert Huwang?!

  All of the guards and Steward Liu Wen looked at Huwang Xiao.

  However, not one of these could recognize who Huwang Xiao was. Even so, the result of their Castellan explained enough to inform them that they were in big trouble!

  Liu Wen and the rest of the guards swiftly knelt down like Sunlight Qing, not daring to even breathe loudly.

  Huwang Xiao viewed Sun Qing kneeling on to the floor and said, “You’re not in the wrong, stand up.”

  Only then did Sun Qing stop punishing himself, thanking Huwang Xiao profusely before getting up.

  “Everyone go back now, I’m just passing through this place and don’t want to attract attention.” Huwang Xiao spoke.

  “Yes, yes, Young Get better at Huwang!” Sunlight Qing nodded his head vigorously, then saluted towards Huwang Xiao, and hurried out. All the Castellan Manor guards quickly adopted behind him with unease on the encounters.

  The night was calm again.

  Daybreak steadily brightened the sky, and Huwang Xiao’s group of four exited Southern Cliffs City, crossed over the Luo Tong Kingdom’s boundary, and entered Baolong Kingdom.

  Stepping onto Baolong Kingdom’s ground, Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, Yu Ming, and Fei Hou wasted no time and headed directly to Big Sword Sect’s headquarters.

  Along the way, Fei Hou described the ‘connections’ to Zhao Shu and Yu Ming between Huwang Xiao and Big Sword Sect, the Martial Ning Family, and Clear Cloud Pavilion.

  Violent Dragon County was located at the most northern point of Baolong Kingdom, and it was full of meandering hills and mountains. Atop this hill range stood a huge palace-like building. This was the headquarters to one of the Baolong Kingdom’s prominent sects: Big Sword Sect.

  Main hall of Big Sword Sect’s headquarters.

  Yu Chen was listening to a disciple report about issues in Southern Cliffs City, and after that, he asked, “Wei Xiaodong was actually murdered, what’s everyone’s opinion on this?”

  Wei Xiaodong was one of Big Sword Sect’s core disciples, and this time, it was Yu Chen himself that sent him to Southern Cliffs City. He didn't expect that Wei Xiaodong would meet his end there, together with all the other Big Sword Sect disciples which were also killed.

  “According to the report, the person that saved Sun Lin was a young man around seventeen or eighteen, and there have been four in his group altogether. Castellan Sun referred to him as “Young Get good at Huwang” with great respect. Could that Young Professional Huwang be Huwang Xiao?” On the primary seat, Lin Zhiren’s sullen tone of voice asked.

  Someone that could increase fear from Castellan Sunlight with the surname Huwang, and coupled with the description of that person, it had not been difficult to guess Huwang Xiao’s identification.

  “It should be Huwang Xiao. He got the Cosmic Superstar Academy’s overall tournament and is probably traveling to Duanren Empire to participate in the Imperial City battle. Most likely, he was transferring through Southern Cliffs City on the way.” One Big Sword Sect Elder agreed.

  “Huwang Xiao desires to head to Duanren Empire to take part in the Imperial City Battle, but he must travel across our Baolong Kingdom. For me, he would pass by our Big Sword Sect place within a month or two. Old Sect Leader, in those days we should lay a siege and eliminate Huwang Xiao!” Another Big Sword Sect Elder suggested.

  “That’s right Old Sect Leader, this time we absolutely
must get rid of Huwang Xiao! Otherwise, if he were allowed to grow, this monstrous freak will break into the Xiantian realm within the next two years. Once he’s damaged through in to the Xiantian world, it might be difficult for our Big Sword Sect to annihilate him at that time!”

  “And this time around, he won’t have Marshal Haotian protecting him, only that Fei Hou is beside him. This is a golden opportunity!”

  The Big Sword Sect Elders voiced their opinions.

  Yu Chen’s gaze sharpened. He elevated his hands to silence the Elders, so when everyone quieted down, his chilly voice sounded, “Pass down my order, all Big Sword Sect disciples move out, and stake out the possible routes Huwang Xiao would take-cut him off!”

  All Big Sword Sect disciples moved away; this time, Huwang Xiao couldn’t get away!

  “Yes, Old Sect Innovator!” THE BEST Sword Sect Elders replied.

  However, several painful howling sounds were heard as Big Sword Sect disciples were seen flying into the main hall.

  Everyone in the huge hall was startled and viewed quickly.

  “Huwang Xiao!” Yu Chen’s eye narrowed and he jumped up from his chair. Lin Zhiren and the Elders also stood up from their chairs.

  “Huwang Xiao, I didn’t expect you'll have the guts to step into my Big Sword Sect’s headquarters!” Yu Chen slowly walked out from the primary hall, and step by step, he was fully releasing his fight qi as his gaze locked onto Huwang Xiao.

  The Elders spread out in the huge hall, encircling Huwang Xiao’s band of four in the middle.

  All of a sudden, the sound of a clear bell ringing cut through the tense atmosphere.

  In that brief moment, all the Big Sword Sect’s disciples rushed to the main hall.

  One hundred thousand Big Sword Sect disciples came whistling through the environment.

  In no time at all, all one hundred thousand disciples arrived, blocking all exits of the primary hall to a point where not even water could leak out.

  Lin Zhiren looked at Huwang Xiao and sneered coldly, “Huwang Xiao, I wish to observe how you will run this time around?!”

  “Run?” Huwang Xiao showed indifference, “Who said I wanted to run?”

  Yu Chen quickly glanced on the four people on Huwang Xiao’s side. At the end, his eyes dropped onto Zhao Shu and Yu Ming’s body. He was filled with doubt; could these two people be Huwang Xiao’s trump card?

  Both Zhao Shu and Yu Ming had their aura concealed. Of course, Yu Chen could not tell their cultivation levels along with his pitiable level of strength.

  “Huwang Xiao, do you consider that just the four of you can go against the entirety of my Big Sword Sect disciples?” Lin Zhiren smirked conceitedly, and glanced within the four faces, “Do you think you have a Saint realm expert amongst you?”

  Relying on one person’s capacity to exterminate a prominent sect of the kingdom, only a Saint realm expert got the ability to do so.

  But, just as Lin Zhiren’s tone of voice ended, Zhao Shu reached out and made a twisting action. Over the length of hundreds of meters, countless shadows of gigantic hands were seen grasping at Lin Zhiren, lifting him up in midair.

  An earth shattering aura exploded from Zhao Shu.

  The weather within ten thousand li of the best Sword Sect headquarters changed as clear blue skies darkened gloomily and thunderbolts struck simultaneously. An overwhelming pressure locked onto every part of the Big Sword Sect headquarters.

  Lin Zhiren, Yu Chen, and the best Sword Sect Elders were flopping like fish out of water under the pressure. Their eye protruded out of their sockets, and their mouths were agape as if these were on the verge of taking their last breath at any moment.

  All of the spiritual energy within that ten thousand li dissipated!

  “Saint…Saint realm expert!” Lin Zhiren was scared out of his wits, shivering from check out toe. His throat relocated with much difficulty to utter those words.

  Saint realm expert!

  Only a Saint realm expert could release such terrifying pressure. Only a Saint realm expert could ignore space distance to control a Xiantian expert like Lin Zhiren.

  Only a Saint realm expert could manipulate the law of space to regulate certain spatial areas.

  Zhao Shu’s cool eyes glanced at Lin Zhiren and enormous pressure swept across space. Lin Zhiren’s neck was then snapped right before everyone’s eye. Following that, his body was released and he fell limply to the floor.

  A Xiantian expert died!

  Zhao Shu turned around, looking at Yu Chen and others of the Big Sword Sect.

  “Se, Senior, mercy, mercy ah!” Fear and stress warped Yu Chen’s face as he pleaded.

  Zhao Shu snorted, and suddenly Yu Chen spurted bloodstream from his mouth as though he took a heavy blow, and just like that, he tumbled to the ground. It had been then that the best Sword Sect Elders recognized there is a wound deeply ingrained in Yu Chen’s upper body, but nobody knew when it happened.

  In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhiren and Yu Chen, two of Big Sword Sect’s strongest Xiantian experts had fallen.

  An atmosphere fraught with loss of life spread throughout the encompassing space.

 

  Ch.162

  All the Big Sword Sect Elders for the reason that main hall became ashen with dread, desperation, and despondency.

  A Saint realm expert!

  That man was actually a Saint realm expert!

  How could there be a Saint world expert among them?!

  Even if they flipped the entire Duanren Empire upside down, the amount of Saint realm experts were very few, easily counted with ten fingers on one’s two hands.

  One of these terrifying existences actually appeared just to destroy the Big Sword Sect!

  A Saint realm expert accompanied that little punk Huwang Xiao!

  Huwang Xiao could actually demand the assistance of a Saint realm expert? What was his real identity?!

  Just when the best Sword Sect Elders and disciples thought Zhao Shu came on Huwang Xiao’s request, they witnessed Zhao Shu turning around and asking Huwang Xiao respectfully, “Young Lord, how do we offer with these Big Sword Sect Elders and disciples?”

  Young Lord?!

  The Elders and disciples of the Big Sword Sect stared at Huwang Xiao in disbelief.

  Huwang Xiao’s eyes swept passed the surrounding Big Sword Sect Elders and disciples, “Kill them all!”

  Kill all of them!!

  Eliminate weeds from the root!

  This time, Huwang Xiao was leaving the Luo Tong Kingdom and planing a trip to Duanren Empire for an indeterminate period, so it was imperative that he not leave these hidden dangers behind that could potentially harm his family. He previously sworn to his father that he would uproot the best Sword Sect eight years ago.

  The Elders and disciples of Big Sword Sect quivered as Huwang Xiao’s words drummed to their ears. Everyone panicked, fighting over one another in order to flee from the main hall.

  However, just like these folks were about to make their move, they suddenly felt the space around them freeze. All were fixed in place.

  Zhao Shu looked placidly at these people that were frozen like statues. His hands waved out and the power of space pierced through the Elders and disciples’ chests like invisible wind blades.

  Bodies fell from midair, twitching on the floor. Puncture wounds could easily be seen in their chests.

  As the power of space continued to spread out from inside the primary hall, the Big Sword Sect disciples which were assembled outside fell to the ground en masse.

  Before long, the tens of thousands of Big Sword Sect’s disciples had fallen, rather than one person was left standing.

  Taking a look at the vast sea of the best Sword Sect disciples’ black human heads, both Huwang Xiao and Fei Hou were silently alarmed.

  A Saint realm expert was this terrifying!

  With only a simple wave of his hand, a prominent large sect of a kingdom was annihilated?!

 
A day later, the news headlines about Big Sword Sect’s annihilation and its own hundred thousand disciples’ deaths exploded like an atomic bomb in Baolong Kingdom. From your King and the many nobles, to the common folk and even the shameless street thugs, all knew about it and found it hard to trust.

  The thousands of Big Sword Sect disciples, including two Xiantian experts, Yu Chen and Lin Zhiren, were killed!

  The enormity of the news was too shocking!

  When the news started spreading, everyone thought that the individual telling it to them was joking.

  But ten times later, the news headlines of the Martial Ning Family’s annihilation dropped such as a second bomb in the Baolong Kingdom. This raised earth-shattering quakes throughout the whole Kingdom. Another ten days after that, a new message disseminate: the Clear Cloud Pavilion’s headquarters’ several thousand experts were decimated.

  Big Sword Sect, Martial Ning Family, and Clear Cloud Pavilion!

  Any one of the forces were considered a tyrannical existence in Baolong Kingdom!

  But now, within one month’s time, all three of these large forces were wiped off the face of the planet!

  Baolong Kingdom fell into a gloomy atmosphere of shock, confusion, and infinite fear.

  Fear of the unknown infected neighboring kingdoms. Discussions and whispers were almost everywhere. Individuals were making their own deductions about who annihilated the Big Sword Sect, Martial Ning Family, and Clear Cloud Pavilion. Who would have the energy to destroy those three large pushes?

  No one found out who uprooted the three forces, but judging from the similar method used, most forces were of the opinion that all three were done in by the same culprit.

  While Baolong Kingdom and its neighbors were still immersed in guesswork, Huwang Xiao’s group of four arrived at the border of Baolong Kingdom, crossing the border into Black Iron Kingdom.

  For the shortest route to Duanren Empire from Luo Tong Kingdom, Huwang Xiao needed to cut across Baolong Kingdom, Black Iron Kingdom, and around twenty other kingdoms before he could arrive at his destination.
