Dominating Martial King
Chapter 127 - 127 124 Zhou Xiongba Four more thanks to Alliance Hierarch Xiaolong V

127: Chapter 124 Zhou Xiongba (Four more thanks to Alliance Hierarch Xiaolong V) 127: Chapter 124 Zhou Xiongba (Four more thanks to Alliance Hierarch Xiaolong V) “Situ Li!”

Zhou Xiongba’s face was as cold as ice as he strode toward the Debating Martial Arts Tower Master of East State, the Divine Mechanism Scholar, who stood with his hands behind his back at the forefront of the crowd.

“Don’t you think you owe us an explanation for what happened today?”

His Martial Intent continuously surged.

When Zhou Xiongba reached the Divine Mechanism Scholar, the ground around them actually sank a full foot.

Everyone immediately realized something was amiss and turned their concentrative gaze toward the two of them.

Most of them had also come to the same realization and looked at the Divine Mechanism Scholar with an extra chill in their eyes.

Divine Mechanism Scholar Situ Li, however, furrowed his brows deeply and turned around with a hint of confusion to face Zhou Xiongba, “Brother Zhou, what do you mean by this?

Why must I offer an explanation?”

Zhou Xiongba couldn’t help but let out a sneer; he didn’t bother arguing with Situ Li and simply pointed a finger straight at Situ Li’s brow.

This one finger strike resounded throughout the void, as if a great tide was surging tumultuously.

Zhou Xiongba’s hand pierced through the raging waves and shattered the might of heaven and earth.

Situ Li’s pupils dilated and then his body dissolved into a flock of ethereal white cranes that scattered, rendering Zhou Xiongba’s finger strike to hit empty air.

“Zhou Xiongba!

How dare you attack an Imperial Officer of the court?

What crime should you be charged with?”

Zhou Xiongba heard this and let out a cold snort, “I’d also like to know, why would you, Situ Li, an Imperial Officer of the court in good standing, commit such an outrageously insane act?

Those secret realm tokens that were distributed through your hands, they couldn’t possibly have become invalidated for no reason?

You are the East State Martial Arts Tower Master, the Divine Mechanism Scholar of the Ministry of Rites, already so learned and knowledgeable, and even more qualified to peruse all the tomes within the Jixian Institute and the National History Institute.

Others may not know of the Divine Turtle Wanderer’s Blood Essence Transformation Array located in Coastal area, but you, Situ Li, should not be ignorant of it.

You were in charge of overseeing this Secret Realm dispute, why did you keep this matter concealed?”

As he spoke, he had already launched seven finger strikes toward the yawning void.

Each one was a distant strike, with the Vigorous Force True Essence as unstoppable as a rainbow.

Nearly every finger strike from Zhou Xiongba shattered three to five white cranes.

After seven consecutive strikes, there were few white cranes still fluttering in the heavens and earth.

“These are all baseless speculations.”

Divine Mechanism Scholar Situ Li made an attempt but found there was no chance for him to escape.

People around, such as Lu Zhe and Ying Feilong, although they hadn’t made a move against him, had locked down the area with their formidable Martial Intent, not even a sliver of space was left unblocked.

Situ Li plainly gathered his scattered figures, reappearing seven feet in front of Zhou Xiongba, his face showing annoyance, “Why must I necessarily know about the Blood Essence Transformation Array of the Divine Turtle Wanderer?

Besides, I was outside, what does anything that happens inside the secret realm have to do with me?”

“And why must I be clear about it?” Zhou Xiongba didn’t care at all, his expression remained frosty and unwavering, “If you consider yourself innocent, you may as well surrender yourself so we can investigate this matter thoroughly.”

He had ways to uncover the truth once they took down Situ Li.

At this moment, his finger was once again hurtling towards Situ Li, less than two feet from his brow.

A look of helplessness appeared on Situ Li’s face.

What he dreaded most was dealing with such indiscriminately domineering figures of Jianghu.

In the next instant, however, the corners of Situ Li’s mouth curled into a slight smile.

He smoothly retreated, his face bearing a cunning smile, “Even if I did do it, what are you going to do about it?

Are you sure you want to make a move against me?”

Zhou Xiongba was caught off guard, his figure stalling as well, letting the other man increase their distance.

Situ Li then stood thirty steps away, still with his hands behind his back, looking nonchalantly at the group.

“Don’t forget the signatures you made on the Life and Death Contract!”

At this instant, not only did Zhou Xiongba’s face turn as black as the bottom of a pot.

Everyone present also showed expressions of shock and anger.

The contract had specified that whatever happened within the secret realm could not be pursued or revenged upon.

At that time, everyone had treated the day’s events as a regular contest for the secret realm.

Situ Li’s gaze was mocking, “There is divine demon testimony on this Life and Death Contract, and it is reinforced with the divine power of our dynasty’s imperial majesty.

If you violate it, you would certainly die under the blade—”

Right at that moment, however, the void in front of Situ Li suddenly ripped open.

A hand reached out from within and slapped directly onto Situ Li’s chest.

At the same time, a cold laugh echoed from the sky.

“Divine Demon Power, imperial might, blessed upon you?

Well, today I shall let you understand what it means to be lawless and unrestrained!”

Surprise flickered in Situ Li’s eyes as he muttered, “Si Wufa?”

The next instant, Situ Li’s body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, scattering within several meters around him.

Zhou Xiongba was momentarily stunned, then a look of realization crossed his face.

These lawless siblings never put the Daning Court in their eyes, and they seem to hold no respect or fear for the Divine Demons of the Upper Realm.

To Si Wufa, the Divine Demon Power and the imperial blessing are nothing but scrap paper.

However, in the next moment, Si Wufa let out an angry snort.

“You scum, it really was you!”

At this time, an immense and majestic force suddenly slammed onto the entrance of the Secret Realm, creating a huge palm imprint about an acre in size and several meters deep at the mouth of the valley.

It was only moments later that a young man in his twenties appeared above this palm imprint.

His features were delicate and somewhat feminine, and his brow and forehead were marked with a piece of exotic purple runes.

The man wore a green robe and a white cloak, the back of which was emblazoned with the powerful and majestic seal script characters for ‘Lawless.’

Zhou Xiongba’s pupils contracted, and he immediately greeted with a fist and palm salute, “Brother Zhou has seen Senior Si!”

Despite his youthful appearance, the person in front of him was actually over seventy years old.

The surrounding Jianghu heroes also paid their respects to Si Wufa one after another.

But Si Wufa, with an air of arrogant amusement, waved his sleeve dismissively, “Enough, I have no fondness for empty courtesies, and you don’t need to pretend with me.

Especially some of you, who deeply despise me, need not bother with such charades.”

His eyes turned toward the interior of the Secret Realm, his gaze sharp and cold as ice, “Although Situ Li’s physical body is destroyed, his Primordial Spirit has been absorbed by the Blood Essence Transformation Array, by virtue of which he has escaped.

His aim is to use the arrangements made by the Divine Turtle Wanderer thousands of years ago to rebuild his body and take his cultivation to a higher level.”

“Reconstruct the body?” Zhou Xiongba frowned deeply.

Si Wufa nodded slightly, “That fellow must have consumed inferior secret medicine when he was young.

After reaching Fourth Grade, he could no longer make any progress in Martial Arts.

Desperate, he recklessly entertained crooked thoughts.

The Blood Essence Transformation not only helps him eliminate the effects of the inferior secret medicine but also grants him greater Martial Arts talent—a true killing two birds with one stone situation.

I’ve seen many such people, but this fellow is incredibly lucky, with a high chance of success, especially since the Blood Essence Transformation Array arranged by the Divine Turtle Wanderer is a truly grand scale operation.

It even summoned the will of the Demon God ‘Burial Sky’, allowing him to benefit immensely.

If today does not go well, he might ascend to heaven in one step and achieve Second Grade cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other with shock written on their faces.

A Second Grade master is eligible to claim a place at the tail end of the Heavenly List of the Debating Martial Arts.

Such a person would be treated with caution even by the Daning Dynasty and the Six Great Immortal Sects.

Lu Ze immediately inquired with a salute, “May I ask if Senior Si has a way to break through this Secret Realm and bring this man to justice?”

Si Wufa, with his hands clasped behind his back, shook his head, “The Secret Realm left by the Divine Turtle Wanderer, can we simply break it if we wish to?

Do you think there’s a reason why nobody dares to covet his Cloud Sea Immortal Palace?

The Divine Turtle Wanderer left twelve ‘Cloud Sea Sword Puppets’ in the Immortal Palace, each with Third Grade combat strength.

Any eight of the sword puppets forming a Sword Array can match a First Grade.

We might join forces to forcibly break through the realm, but firstly, the children inside the Secret Realm can’t withstand our Vigorous Origin Martial Intent, and secondly, it would attract the Cloud Sea Sword Puppets, making things very troublesome.”

Hearing this, Lu Ze’s heart turned cold.

So there’s no way to do it?

We can only watch Situ Li’s conspiracy succeed, and he will reshape his body?

And our children will also perish inside?

At this moment, Si Wufa narrowed his eyes, and his tone shifted, “However, for Situ Li to succeed, he still has to deal with the Cloud Sea Sword Puppets.

While he confronts them, those children might have a slim chance to escape.”

Just then, they saw more mist dispersing within the Secret Realm.

The fourth square inside became visible to them.

But when they saw the situation clearly on the square, some of them showed despair.

Either their eyesight was extraordinary, or they were experienced and knowledgeable.

They had recognized that the hundred or so youths were all being controlled by the Heart Tying Gu—
