Chapter 840: After Modification: Chapter 607 Master from Qingcheng Mountain_2

"Indeed!"

Wang Mingyu released a relieved smile. Thinking back now, it is indeed true that if the dynasty lost Saint Si Yun, an invincible sage guarding them, the situation would never have been as peaceful and prosperous as it is now!

Whether the aristocratic families in the Southern Region or the cultivator sects in the Western Region, none would have been so quiet, willingly bowing to the dynasty!

"State Preceptor Xu Mao will soon head to the Northern Territories to establish the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. You must cooperate well!"

"Of course!"

"It has been a long time since I have been so relaxed in speaking like this!"

Wang Mingyu sighed with emotion. Wang Siyun smiled but said nothing, leaning back in his chair with his hands resting behind his head, slowly closing his eyes. Over these days, he was indeed a bit tired.

Wang Mingyu stretched lazily, rubbed his brow, leaned back, and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

An imposing emperor, an invincible prince, thus fell into a deep sleep in the Imperial Study Room.

Luo Ying, standing guard outside the door, witnessed this scene and smiled knowingly, setting up a soundproof barrier before withdrawing to stand guard outside the courtyard gate.

For many years, he had never seen Wang Mingyu rest so comfortably.

...

The Western Territory of the dynasty is the holy land of cultivator sects, not only because the celestial Mountain, the pinnacle of cultivation, towers over this land, but also because the entire Western Territory is occupied by numerous cultivator sects.

After the Royal Family of the dynasty took control of the world, they made a special agreement with the cultivator sects, commonly known as the Peace Pact, which granted the entire Western Territory to the cultivator sects, making it exempt from imperial governance.

In other words, the Western Territory is not bound by the laws of the dynasty; it has its own rules.

Of course, the dynasty’s military and official positions were never established in the Western Territory.

At this moment, Wang Yang, along with Su Yue, had stepped into the Western Territory. Upon entering, they felt the thick spiritual power of heaven and earth, which was naturally due to the spirit gathering arrays set up by every cultivator sect.

Since the Royal Family of the dynasty took control of the world’s fate, the cultivator sects could only rely on these spirit gathering arrays to maintain their development. Fortunately, the Western Territory is abundant in resources and is a lush and prosperous land, a true Peach Blossom Land.

"Senior Brother, there’s about a year left until the Summit of the Celestial Mountain. Should we find a place to stay?"

Su Yue looked at the vast auspicious clouds, full of longing, but indeed there was some time before the once-in-a-decade celestial Mountain summit.

"It doesn’t matter if we have a place to stay or not. Let’s just treat it as a trip!"

Wang Yang shook his head. The Western Territory’s cultivator sects are everywhere, and there’s no place to stay without first joining one of these sects.

Although the Qingcheng Mountain Sect no longer exists, the identities of Wang Yang and Su Yue still represented the sect in participating in the Summit of the Celestial Mountain.

"Alright!"

Su Yue said with a smile. In recent years, they had always been in a tense and continuous battle; now, having time to rest made her very excited.

"Make way!"

Just as Wang Yang and Su Yue were strolling on the street, a loud shout came suddenly from a distance. They turned to see a carriage being pulled by eight Dragon Colts rushing towards them.

Wherever it passed, the crowds quickly moved aside, their faces showing fear.

The carriage moved at an incredible speed, and it seemed everyone knew the rules, instantly making way. Being newcomers to the region, Wang Yang naturally had no time to react.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage reached Wang Yang. The coachman did not slow down at all, as if Wang Yang did not step aside, he would be directly trampled over.

Wang Yang naturally could not dodge as Su Yue was behind him and had not reacted in time. If he moved aside, Su Yue would be the one injured.

"Get out of the way!"

The coachman shouted, not only not slowing down but speeding up. He clearly had no regard for Wang Yang and Su Yue. In the World of Cultivation, the strong prey on the weak.

As long as one is powerful enough, killing does not require accountability!

The markings on the carriage indicated it belonged to one of the Western Territory’s Seven Sects and Eight Factions, the Nine Swords Sect.

Wang Yang’s eyes flashed coldly, noticing that the other party had no intention of stopping, but instead was planning to rush through, and he sneered.

Seeing Wang Yang unmoved, the onlookers were all astonished. The people present had avoided it because they recognized the Nine Swords Sect’s emblem on the carriage.

Besides the celestial Mountain, the Seven Sects and Eight Factions had absolute authority in the Western Territory. These sects mostly inherited from the Ancient Times, and although much had been lost over time, they still had profound and incomparable power.

"These two are unfamiliar. Their attire doesn’t look like they belong to a sect in the Western Territory. They must be outsiders!"

"No wonder they’re not afraid. They probably don’t recognize the emblem of the Nine Swords Sect!"

"Looking for death! Even if the Nine Swords Sect smashes them into meat paste, no elder from these little sects would dare say a word!"

Hearing the crowd’s comments, Wang Yang largely grasped the identity of the carriage’s occupants and understood the rules of these cultivator sects.

The strong reign supreme!

"Neigh!"

The eight Dragon Colts let out a simultaneous neigh, stomping fiercely towards Wang Yang. Just as Su Yue was about to form seals with her spiritual power, Wang Yang waved her back.

Suddenly, Wang Yang lifted his right foot and forcefully stomped downwards. The ground beneath shattered instantly, causing the Dragon Colts to stagger and the carriage to tip over to one side!

"What!"

"Is this the power of the Earth Laws?"

"Who is this guy? He dares to overturn a Nine Swords Sect carriage!"

As soon as Wang Yang made his move, the crowd erupted in astonishment. The Nine Swords Sect was one of the Seven Sects and Eight Factions in the Western Territory, second only to the celestial Mountain in strength!

In the Western Territory, they had absolute authority. Until now, no one dared to challenge the Nine Swords Sect!

"You’re courting death!"

From the carriage came the enraged voice of a man. Moments later, a figure soared into the air, holding a bluish longsword. Sword Qi formed at his hands and he slashed at Wang Yang.

"The Bishui Sword! It’s Luo Han!"

As soon as the man appeared, someone recognized him. Hearing this, Wang Yang realized the man seemed to be well-known!

Facing the incoming Sword Qi, Wang Yang neither dodged nor evaded, pointing his finger into the void. A burst of Sword Qi from his fingertip shattered the man’s Sword Qi in the void!

Luo Han landed, his expression turning grave. His sword attack had been easily neutralized, indicating the opponent’s realm in the Sword Dao was far superior to his.

In the Western Territory, and in the entire cultivation world, only the celestial Mountain’s Sword Dao surpasses that of the Nine Swords Sect!

Could this young man and woman belong to the celestial Mountain?

Luo Han dared not continue attacking. Though the Seven Sects and Eight Factions held high status in the Western Territory, the celestial Mountain was an exception.

As the highest holy land of the cultivation world, the celestial Mountain commanded the respect of all cultivators.

Of course, it was respected for its unparalleled strength.

Without the celestial Mountain, the dynasty would not have compromised and ceded the entire Western Territory to the cultivators, without stationing any troops.

However, Luo Han was also troubled. The young disciples of the celestial Mountain were well-known; although he might not know all of them personally, he knew of them, and had never heard of Wang Yang and Su Yue!

"May I know which sect or faction you hail from, Fellow Daoist? I am Luo Han of the Nine Swords Sect!"

Instead of doubting, Luo Han chose to confirm directly. With a cupped fist, he announced his identity first.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang understood that Luo Han was wary of his earlier display of Sword Qi, fearing the backing of a powerful sect and unwilling to continue the confrontation, to avoid unnecessary enmity.

"We’re from the Northern Territories, from the Qingcheng Mountain Sect!"

Wang Yang replied casually, indicating to Luo Han that they were from an unknown small sect, inviting him to act without hesitation.
