Chapter 676: Chapter 669: Scared to Kneel

Aboard the Flying Boat, watching Yang Shaoqing in front of them, who kept shouting at the top of his lungs, Gui Wuya and Fang Qingshan exchanged glances and their expressions changed repeatedly.

“Young Sect Master, you mustn’t…” Gui Wuya even reached out directly, trying to cover Yang Shaoqing’s mouth and stop him from continuing to speak.

Regrettably, because of operating the Flying Boat, his strength was severely exhausted, and after sitting down and resting for a while, he had only recovered a little energy, barely able to stand up.

Faced with the big hand prepared to cover his mouth, Yang Shaoqing merely shook his body and had already dodged.

“Deacon Gui, what is the meaning of this?”

“As the Young Sect Master of the Main Lineage, isn’t it only natural for me to have Sect Master Ye from a branch to come and rescue us?”

Yang Shaoqing frowned and was quite displeased. He glared fiercely at Gui Wuya and continued to say, “Within the Territory of West Barbarian Mountain, I have heard some things about this branch of the Bloodthirsty Sect from my father.”

“The cultivators in the branch have limited heritage, and their talents are very ordinary. They have a strong sense of belonging to our Main Lineage.”

“That day, once they knew my father was from the Main Lineage, they treated him as an honored guest, crying and shouting, wanting to follow my father back to the Main Lineage.”

“However, my father was somewhat choosy. He didn’t think much of most of the cultivators from West Barbarian Mountain’s branch.”

“Ultimately, it was the Earth Immortal strong enough to back them up who stepped forward sincerely and pleaded with my father for a long time, speaking many good words, that finally made him reluctantly agree to take quite a few people back to the overseas Main Lineage of the Bloodthirsty Sect.”

“Since they have always revered us as the main authority, what’s so strange about me ordering them to do something?”

Listening to his explanation full of perplexity, Gui Wuya and Fang Qingshan looked at each other with odd expressions, staring at each other for quite a while.

Yang Shaoqing’s father was Yang Dingtian.

That day, inside the Territory of West Barbarian Mountain, Yang Dingtian was so tormentingly abused by Chen Hai that he almost wished for death, with all his dignity nearly stripped away—the facts are known to him, and he certainly wouldn’t tell anyone else.

Gui Wuya, Fang Qingshan, and others who returned with him to the Main Lineage of the overseas Bloodthirsty Sect were also under strict orders not to discuss this matter.

What Yang Shaoqing knew about the Bloodthirsty Sect branch in West Barbarian Mountain was clearly a tale woven by Yang Dingtian to detract from this side and to embellish his own image.

“Young Sect Master, the Sect Master of this branch has the support of an Earth Immortal strong man behind him!”

Gui Wuya and Fang Qingshan looked at each other, considering their own less than glorious appearances in this matter, they hesitated and ultimately didn’t reveal the truth.

Looking at Yang Shaoqing in front of them, who had been thoroughly brainwashed by his father Yang Dingtian, they could only come up with such an excuse to stop him from continuing to shout.

“I understand!” Yang Shaoqing nodded, “A strong man should indeed be respected.”

“Therefore, I simply requested the Sect Master of the branch to come and greet us without involving that Earth Immortal strong man.”

Seeing his manner, Gui Wuya and Fang Qingshan were at a loss for what to say for the moment.

“Not good!” Just a few hundred meters in front of the Flying Boat, a huge hand appeared out of nowhere.

It grew monstrously upon encountering the wind, and in an instant, it almost covered half of the sky.

At this moment, Zuo Yunxiao, who had been closely pursuing them, had just revealed himself, and the distance between him and the Flying Boat was at least a dozen to twenty li apart.

The sudden huge hand that appeared and moved towards the Flying Boat clearly wasn’t his doing.

“This giant hand obviously contains the power of a Domain.”

“The words of the Young Sect Master just now must have reached Senior Chen’s ears.”

“By the look of it, he intends to kill us with one slap!”

Thoughts flashed through their minds, and in just an instant, Gui Wuya and Fang Qingshan had reacted.

They didn’t bother to keep operating the Flying Boat any longer, letting its speed slow down and drift towards the ground. Without another word and facing the enormous slapping hand, the two knelt down on bended knees.

“Senior Chen, spare our lives. The words of the Young Sect Master were merely an unintentional mistake. You are a forgiving person, please don’t take his words to heart.”

“Senior Chen, considering that I was Qingqing’s teacher and guided her in her cultivation, even if I have no great merits, I’ve endured hardships on her behalf. Please show leniency and let us go!”

An Earth Immortal imbued with Domain power is absolutely invincible among those of the same level.

Facing that enormous palm strike, Gui Wuya and Fang Qingshan didn’t bother with a futile struggle. They knelt on the ground, their heads knocking against the floor repeatedly as they begged for mercy.

Their actions were clearly effective.

The giant palm that seemed destined to crash down on the Flying Boat suddenly came to a complete halt, transitioning from extreme motion to extreme stillness.

Then, the giant palm dissipated, the winds and clouds converged, and Chen Hai’s ethereal form quickly materialized in the void not far from the Flying Boat.

“Gui Wuya, Fang Qingshan, after what you did that day, do you still have the face to return to the West Barbarian Mountain Territory?”

“Affection? Any affection you had with Qingqing has long been completely exhausted.”

“The day you took the majority of the Bloodthirsty Sect’s high-end combat strength and followed Yang Dingtian overseas was a betrayal of Qingqing.”

“In my eyes, Chen, I’ve never tolerated even a speck of dust, and I’ve always despised betrayal of the sect.”

“If Qingqing hadn’t pleaded on your behalf, not wanting things to get too stiff between us, do you think you and that Yang Dingtian would have left the West Barbarian Mountain Territory alive?”

With a stern face, Chen Hai looked squarely at Gui Wuya, Fang Qingshan, and the others with disdain, and he rebuked them harshly.

“And you, Young Sect Master of the Main Lineage? What are you?”

“You expect my wife to come and save you? Who gave you the courage?”

“Kneel before me, and let me hear you shout again!”

His gaze shifted to Yang Shaoqing, who seemed completely bewildered. Perhaps because the man looked more handsome than himself, Chen Hai found him particularly irksome.

Wherever his gaze fell, an invisible oppressive force as heavy as a mountain weighed down on Yang Shaoqing.

“Ahhh…”

Yang Shaoqing, the Young Sect Master of the Main Lineage of the overseas Bloodthirsty Sect, used to living a privileged life, when had he ever experienced such humiliation?

His face turned red, his neck bulging as he struggled desperately.

Sadly, it was all for naught; he was merely an Eighth Realm Primordial Spirit, and his efforts were entirely useless.

With his bones creaking incessantly, he couldn’t even hold out for a moment before his knees gave way and, against his will, he knelt to the ground.

In just this brief delay, Zuo Yunxiao, who had been chasing after the Flying Boat, had caught up.

“Domain? There’s actually an Earth Immortal-level presence in this remote wilderness of the West Barbarian Mountain Territory?” As an Earth Immortal himself, he was naturally very familiar with Domains.

He had just entered Chen Hai’s Domain when his expression changed, already sensing something.

Like being stung by a wasp, he paused midstep, stopping abruptly.

Stepping out of Chen Hai’s Domain, he stood in the void dozens of li away from the Flying Boat, his gaze fixed on Chen Hai from afar.

“This Taoist friend here, I am Zuo Yunxiao, an elder of the overseas Huayun Sect.”

“The people on the Flying Boat in front of you have stolen a Supreme Treasure from our Sect.”

“I have pursued them across tens of thousands of li from overseas to the West Barbarian Mountain Territory, solely to capture them and bring them to justice. I ask you, Taoist friend, to please make way!”

Zuo Yunxiao cupped his fist in a salute and spoke to Chen Hai.
