The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 808 - 806: Peak Master of the Five Peaks! Wenyue!

Chapter 808: Chapter 806: Peak Master of the Five Peaks! Wenyue!

Seeing the old crone appear before Bai Xiaoxiao, the Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples’ eyes shot open in alarm, and he staggered back two or three steps, his face turning completely ashen.

Wu Song stepped forward and angrily pointed at the elderly woman, admonishing coldly, "Where did this old witch come from, daring to meddle in the affairs of our Chulong Courtyard? If you know what’s good for you, leave quickly, or I’ll personally send you off to meet Yama!"

Clank!

Upon hearing Wu Song’s words, the Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples nearly spat out a mouthful of blood in fright.

He turned his head and glared at Wu Song, signaling him to stop talking.

The old woman glanced at Wu Song with disdain and scoffed, "The authority of the Chulong Courtyard is indeed growing day by day. It’s been so many years since someone dared to speak to me like this."

"Hold your tongue, Wu Song!" the Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples roared in anger, stopping him firmly.

Wu Song exclaimed in surprise, "Elder, what do you mean by this? Are we, the Chulong Courtyard, really afraid of this decrepit old witch?"

The Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples barked furiously at Wu Song, "Wu Song, I command you to shut up!"

"Please calm your anger, Elder Wenyue. It was our junior’s lack of manners; our Chulong Courtyard has failed to teach him properly. I beg you, Elder Wenyue, please do not hold it against him!"

Having scolded Wu Song, the Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples then respectfully said this to the elderly woman.

"What!" Wu Song looked on in utter shock as the Elder before him acted with such deference, a shock running through his heart.

"We greet Elder Wenyue!"

"We greet Elder Wenyue!"

Following this, the other high-ranking Elders from the Nine Great Institutions all bowed in unison to the old crone.

Wu Song was dumbfounded.

What was happening?

Why were the high-ranking Elders of the Nine Great Institutions paying respects to an old crone so close to death?

Could it be that this old crone had an extremely significant background?

Pei Ji said calmly, "Wu Song, I advise you to kneel and apologize now. The elders before you are none other than one of the Five Peaks Peak Masters, Elder Wenyue!"

Upon hearing Pei Ji’s voice, Wu Song’s eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, "What! One of the Five Peaks Peak Masters... Elder Wenyue..."

Wu Song’s entire worldview collapsed.

The Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge, situated at the heart of the Miracle Ridge, where the warriors who entered the Five Peaks rarely ever showed up in Tianding City.

If even the warriors from the Five Peaks hardly ever appeared, then how could one of the Five Peaks Peak Masters be here?

The upper echelons of the Miracle Ridge were evenly distributed.

The three Sect Leader Supremes: Ye Wuhuan, Dugu Yun, and Zhao Longtu.

These three Sect Leader Supremes presided over all the major affairs on the Miracle Ridge.

Ye Wuhuan was in charge of the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge, Zhao Longtu managed the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge, and Dugu Yun, it was said, was busy with his own affairs, serving as the Dean of the Sword Art Academy, one of the Nine Courtyards.

Below the three Sect Leader Supremes, the most powerful and strongest were the Five Peaks Peak Masters.

In other words, the power and prowess of the Miracle Ridge were divided into four tiers.

The first tier: The three Sect Leader Supremes, namely Ye Wuhuan, Zhao Longtu, and Dugu Yun.

The second tier: The five Peak Masters of the Miracle Ridge, whose cultivation was profound and inscrutable, representing the pinnacle of power on the Ridge.

The third tier: The Deans of the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge, excluding Dugu Yun, of course.

The fourth tier: High-ranking Elders within the Miracle Ridge.

And as one of the Five Peaks Peak Masters, Elder Wenyue was a force on the Miracle Ridge, second only to the three Sect Leader Supremes.

Elder Wenyue’s position and strength were several times greater than that of any of the Nine Courtyards’ Deans.

It was no exaggeration to say that even the mad Dean of the Fist Daoist Courtyard would not dare to provoke a Peak Master of the Five Peaks lightly!

Seeing the high-ranking Elders of the Nine Courtyards all bending down to pay their respects, Wu Song knew in his heart that Elder Wenyue’s identity could not be false!

Immediately, Wu Song trembled as he knelt on the ground, his face filled with terror as he said, "Elder Wenyue, please quell your anger. It was the disciple who did not understand the etiquette and offended the elder. I beg the elder not to take offense!"

Elder Wenyue snorted coldly, "Just now, who said they wanted to discipline the offspring of my old lady?"

Wenyue stared coldly at the Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples and Wu Song as she spoke.

The Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Elder Wenyue, you might have heard wrong. I said I wanted to discipline this woman named Bai Xiaoxiao, not to discipline your offspring."

"Besides, looking around the Miracle Ridge, who dares to discipline your offspring?"

Elder Wenyue gave a strange smile and turned to glance at Bai Xiaoxiao.

When Bai Xiaoxiao saw the face of this woman, she suddenly turned pale with shock.

Similar!

It was strikingly similar!

Bai Xiaoxiao and this woman looked at least thirty percent alike. If this woman were of the same age as Bai Xiaoxiao, their features would be at least ninety percent similar.

"Is Bai Lingfeng dead?" Wenyue looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and asked.

Bai Xiaoxiao was startled and exclaimed, "How do you know my imperial grandfather?"

Wenyue sneered, "How could I know? Humph, how could I possibly not recognize that scoundrel? Even if he turned to ashes, I would recognize him!"

Bai Xiaoxiao, curious, asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Wenyue sighed softly and said with a bitter smile, "Bai Huatian is my own son. Who do you think I am?"

Bai Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "You’re the Empress Dowager? How is that possible? My imperial grandfather said that you had already..."

"Already what? Did that scoundrel tell you that I had died?" A murderous aura emanated from Wenyue as she stared at Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded weakly, "Yes."

Wenyue snorted coldly, "Are you Bai Huatian’s daughter?"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, "I am."

Wenyue sighed lightly, "I truly did not expect that the Royal Family of the Shenwu Kingdom would be able to nurture such a genius. It’s all right. Follow me to the Five Peaks, and I will personally teach you."

Full of curiosity, Bai Xiaoxiao asked, "Are you really my Empress Dowager?"

Wenyue said with tenderness, "If you are indeed Huatian’s daughter, then I should be your grandmother..."

Bai Xiaoxiao, still curious, asked, "But why haven’t you returned to the Shenwu Kingdom..."

Wenyue shook her head and said, "Return for what? Your grandfather is a bastard, scum, and a disgrace. A man like him deserves to be torn to pieces, executed by a thousand cuts. If I go back to the Shenwu Kingdom, it will certainly be to kill Bai Lingfeng!"

"Do you still wish for me to return now?"

Bai Xiaoxiao was startled by the murderous and fierce expression on Wenyue’s face and dared not say anything more.

"Wait on the side. Once I have dealt with the matters here, you will come back with me to the Five Peaks," Wenyue said to Bai Xiaoxiao after giving her a look and then turned her gaze back to the Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples.

"This Bai Xiaoxiao is my descendant. Now do you understand what I mean?"

Wenyue said coldly, staring at the Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples.

The Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples spoke in a panic, "Please, Elder Wenyue, quell your anger. I did not know the relationship between this Bai Xiaoxiao and you, so I have disrespected you. I am willing to offer compensation that will satisfy Miss Bai Xiaoxiao!"

Wenyue sneered, "The matter of compensation will be discussed later... Now, well, hrmph!"

Suddenly, as she spoke up to here, Wenyue smiled coldly.

Pei Ji and Liujing Feng suddenly felt an icy aura spreading from the void, causing them dread, their bodies shuddering involuntarily as they gathered their body protection True Qi!

Crack, crack!

Suddenly at that moment, two crisp sounds rang out!

The Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples and Wu Song were sent flying, crashing down a hundred meters away, each with a crimson palm print on their left cheeks!

Clearly, in the brief moment just now, Wenyue had slapped both the Chulong Courtyard’s Elder for Recruiting Disciples and Wu Song, sending them flying!
