Chapter 678 - 678 213 The Furious Cat Emperor

Chapter 678: Chapter 213: The Furious Cat Emperor Chapter 678: Chapter 213: The Furious Cat Emperor Therefore, a rather peculiar closeness had formed between the two, as if by tacit understanding.

“I, uh… I observe with my eyes.”

“….”

“Can’t you speak like a normal person?”

“I’m speaking the truth. It’s hard to gauge now, that man in black has a restrained aura and has unfathomable skill and strength. Even if he is not hiding, he is not weak.”

Ximen Qianqiu said, “But if he is still holding back, it’s hard to say how much stronger he could be.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Thick Earth Sect and the other two big sects rank among the top three of the Six Heavenly Immortals, and their disciples are scattered around the world! Judging by the current situation, even our seemingly limitless power should show them some respect when necessary.”

Ximen Qianqiu calmly put, “Being in the Jianghu is not all about fighting. There’s also social etiquette.”

“At least until we reach the level of the Three Mountains and have the upper echelons of the Three Mountains holding the reins, there would still be room for thought about not showing respect. However, it’s also possible that we would still grant some favors to them, after all, the Three Mountains also have their reservations.”

“But if the higher-ups of the two Palaces are involved, they can afford to not show respect. Regardless of whether they are facing three of the six heavenly immortals or the entirety of Jianghu, the two Palaces have that confidence.”

Ximen Qianqiu echoed calmly.

His voice wasn’t low on purpose, he was speaking not only for Nangong Xue but also for the disciples of the Ximen family by his side.

“This is the difference between the supernatural two Palaces, the parallel Three Mountains, and the boundless Four Directions… It signifies the disparity between the top forces in this world!”

“The manifestation of this gap is that there are some things that we dare not do, or although we have the ability and willingness to do, we hesitate.”

“However, those with greater power and at a higher level have no hesitations. This, is the difference. Even though this difference may seem small, it’s not something that generations of striving could necessarily close!”

Ximen Qianqiu breathed out a puff of white breath, “It’s an impassable chasm of fundamental difference!”

“Indeed.”

Beigong Wang next to him felt the same. Or to be more precise, his feelings were particularly profound, given that his family had recently suffered a great loss.

His agreement with Ximen Qianqiu’s words reached an all-time high.

If his own power was stronger, if his Beigong family was more powerful, like the two Palaces, then what would it matter even if their opponent was the Demon Emperor?

Won’t our family have the ability to retaliate? Wouldn’t the enemy have any reservations then?

He was sure that if he had been from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and encountered such a situation, the five troublemakers would still have to die. However, the other forty-six people would have a chance to be spared, at least they didn’t need to be killed on the spot.

But at the thought of this, there is a deep sigh in his heart: What use would those be, who are on the list of the Heavenly Judgment?

It must be said, Beigong Wang is quite a contradictory person.

On the one hand, he was extremely angry at the current situation of his family, thinking that it had lost the dignity of his ancestors. But when someone bullied his family, he was also very angry.

However, he did not know that in an ordinary family, this could be described as a deep affection for family members, but in a large family like theirs, this attitude is indulgence towards future generations, indirectly leading to a crime!

Whether the family is large or small, the family education certainly differed, and the Beigong family had apparently made this mistake.

Further away, the robes of two men were fluttering, one was dressed in black, the other in white, and when the two colors of black and white came together, they were interestingly complementary.

These were the peak figures of this world, two elders from the Absolute Sword Devil Palace and the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace.

“How do you see it?”

“What can we do, these people are dead!”

This elder from the Absolute Sword Devil Palace was thin with a sparkle in his eyes, like blades dancing in the air.

“The saying ‘the law does not punish the multitude’ only applies to ordinary people.”

This elder from the Absolute Sword Devil Palace said coolly, “Given the current circumstance, if I were the man in black inside the courtyard, I wouldn’t let anyone who wanted to enter survive.”

“That’s true! They have indeed gone too far.”

This elder from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace sighed, “At the beginning, their words were reasoned and tactful, showing a bit of respect for human emotions. But after inflaming their people against the enemy, they became hardened and began to forcibly seize… Isn’t that courting death?”

The elder of the Devil Palace looked at the elder from the Cloud Palace with amusement, “Old Dong, if you were in their shoes, how would you handle it under the same circumstances?”

The elder named Dong was taken aback.

What would I do?

Yes, how would I react to this situation?

He thought about it and carefully said, “Depending on the situation, if I were the person inside the courtyard who needed a quiet environment, and I had leased or bought the house beforehand, I would not let others live in it.”

“If I were just here to stay, without any other ideas or secrets, I would agree to let these people live on the precondition that they don’t disturb me.”

“However, if I were on the verge of making a breakthrough or if something inside the house needed to be kept secret, I would disagree flatly.”

The elder from Devil Palace nodded slowly, “Brother Dong’s words are quite in line with my own thinking.”

“But if I were these people outside… given the current situation, I would negotiate with the people inside. A fight or two may be inevitable. but If I were losing, I would run away at the first opportunity and go elsewhere… Even though all the inns in Yuezhou City are full, with my capabilities, it would be a cinch to make some room.”

“Bullying other people is always better than losing one’s life.”

This elder from the Cloud Palace spoke very straightforwardly.

“But what if you cannot gauge the strength of the opponent, or you think the opponent is strong, only slightly stronger than yourself, but you have a numerical advantage. How about joining forces and taking down the opponent?” said the devil palace elder, looking at the situation and sticking out his chin.

“Ah….”

Elder Dong was in a predicament: “If the opponent is only slightly stronger than me and I have a numerical advantage, I might just force my way through like these people… because we can’t afford to lose face, you must know that the whole Yuezhou is watching us. If we just leave sheepishly… How can we show our faces in the martial world again?”

The elder of the devil palace sighed: “People nowadays are just like this. The Six Path Immortals may be beneath our notice, but for ordinary martial artists, they’re unreachable figures. The three sects came together. Can they afford to lose face without a fight?”

He then narrowed his eyes: “Look, they’re taking action!”

As expected, after tolerating the backhanded insults, the leading elder of the Thick Earth Sect waved his hand and cried out: “Smash the front gate!”

The disciples behind him couldn’t hold back anymore.

A loud shout. Three people moved forward. Three feet, kicked at the gate without any sequence.

Whoosh!

With a slight sound, three invisible slices of Blade Qi flashed by.

Splatter Splatter Splatter.

Three heads flew into the air.

The three disciples who attempted to break down the gate fell silently into the dust, blood splattering everywhere.

“You dare to kill!”

The elder of the Thick Earth Sect had a fierce look in his eyes: “You faceless rodent, get down here and meet your death!”

The Cat Emperor’s rage instantly reached its peak.

He had wanted to scare them away with his mighty breath, but these people actually had the audacity to provoke him.

It was simply unimaginable that in such a short period, so many people had dared to tarnish his prestige as the Demon Emperor. This trend must be stopped!

A loud roar resonated through the sky and earth, a boundless domineering aura surged out, covering the whole area in an instant.

The elder from the Absolute Sword Devil Palace’s expression changed: “This isn’t good! I didn’t expect these people to have run into a formidable entity from the Cloud Top. The three sects have really kicked a steel plate this time!”

The Cat Emperor altered his voice, adopting a heavy male tone, and let out a long howl.

The whole city was startled!

A stern voice echoed through the sky.

“It seems not everyone is the same, demons are different too. The last time, when the Snake Emperor invaded, the demon tide threatened to devour Yuezhou, but it was presented with respect and escorted out! Now, I am merely renting a house here, yet I am being driven out. It seems that the people have forgotten my existence due to my long inactivity!”

When these words came out, the whole Yuezhou went silent all of a sudden.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in this large city.

Who else can refer to himself as ‘I’ in such a manner?

Other than several human emperors, only the Demon Clan Emperors would refer to themselves this way!

It turned out that the one living here, not allowing anyone in, was a Demon Emperor!

The people who’d been turned away after trying to rent the house were taken aback, standing there in shock. Despite the heavy snow, sweat trickled down their bodies!

Good heavens, I must burn incense and kowtow to my ancestors when I get back.

I wasn’t renting a house, but I was knocking at death’s door…

It has to be said, the Demon Emperor on the opposite side was really kind-hearted, I’d come to provoke him, yet I was able to leave intact. Isn’t that the blessing of my ancestors?!

The Cat Emperor rose into the air. In an instant, a mass of black energy enveloped the entire sky of Yuezhou. Countless sharp wind blades, like the falling sky, descended from above.

The elder from the Thick Earth Sect had long been dumbfounded.

What had he just done?

Forced a Demon Emperor? Seized someone’s house? Threatened someone with force? It seemed like he’d even scolded them?

And in a particularly offensive manner?

“Your Majesty, your Majesty calm down… I was blind…”

Before the pleas for mercy could be finished, the sky was filled with wind blades coming down like a storm.

The Cat Emperor had already fully recovered his cultivation and naturally demonstrated his peak power. Furthermore, there were signs that his power was about to level up even further.

The reason for fully displaying his power was that this generally good-tempered Emperor was truly enraged this time!

What on earth was wrong with this world?

My husband and I lived in the mountains, not offending or provoking anyone. We didn’t even eat a grain of rice from anyone. Yet we had our cave destroyed, were separated from each other, and I was gravely injured.

Now I was finally reunited with my daughter, enjoying the pleasant family time for a few days.

Again, I didn’t offend or provoke anybody, yet so many people came to force us to move out?

Is this because they think I’m particularly easy to bully?!
