Chapter 833: Chapter 852: 1 Finger Suppression

“Granny, stop!”

Suddenly!

A voice cried out urgently, and a ghostly fire shot forth from the Yellow Spring Inn, causing Granny Yellow Spring to withdraw her attack. Her eyes glinted with confusion as she looked toward the newcomer!

“White Impermanence, what are you doing here?”

Granny Yellow Spring spoke sinisterly, unaware that a hint of murderous intent had just faded from Ye Xuan’s eyes. Clearly, she didn’t realize she had just walked the line between life and death. If not for someone interrupting her strike, she would have certainly perished at Ye Xuan’s hands.

“Granny, Emperor Fengdu has decreed an invitation for Qingming Buddha to visit Fengdu Palace. I hope you will be accommodating.” The newcomer, clad in white robes, had a deathly pale complexion and was none other than White Impermanence from the Underworld, whose cultivation was merely of the Taiyin Mystic Immortal level. He bowed respectfully toward Granny Yellow Spring with a flattering smile.

“Fengdu?”

“Humph!”

Granny Yellow Spring let out a cold snort, paying no heed to this so-called Emperor Fengdu. However, since Emperor Fengdu was nominally in charge of the Five Ghost Regions, she had to give him some face.

Another Jade Emperor!

Watching the exchange between the two, Ye Xuan smirked coldly. How similar the situation of this Emperor Fengdu was to that of the Jade Emperor of old. Both rulers of a realm, yet so many refused to regard Fengdu with any respect, treating him as nothing more than a puppet.

“Humph, I’ll spare your life today.”

Granny Yellow Spring turned and gazed at Ye Xuan, her prominent eyeballs rolling disdainfully, and then she flicked her sleeves, intending to return to the Yellow Spring Inn.

“Did I say you could leave?”

Suddenly, before Granny Yellow Spring could take three steps, Ye Xuan’s calm voice sounded once more. This caused her breath to catch, her body stiffly turning back, her eyes glinting with a ferocious light as she stared at Ye Xuan.

“What did you just say?” Granny Yellow Spring asked in a sinister voice, terrifying shadowy light swirling around her, the aura of a Quasi-Saint gradually unfurling, causing the entire Yellow Spring Inn to shimmer dangerously.

Who was Granny Yellow Spring?

She was a Quasi-Saint, a particularly ancient one, having lived from the Primordial Times to the present. Though she couldn’t compare to someone like Minghe Ancestor, she was undoubtedly far more powerful than an ordinary Quasi-Saint.

Throughout the entire Underworld, there were but a few whom Granny Yellow Spring would fear. If she wished to become a dominant force in the Underworld, countless lost souls would seek refuge under her banner.

And she had spent countless years guarding the Yellow Spring Inn, following the orders of Meng Po, her benefactor, which is why she consented to guard this crucial passageway into the Underworld.

Anyone familiar with Granny Yellow Spring knew her temperament was incredibly volatile. She would resort to slaughter at the slightest provocation, and even the Five Ghost Emperors would respectfully address her as ‘Granny’ to show their deference.

Yet today, Ye Xuan dared to speak disrespectfully, directly provoking Granny Yellow Spring’s fierce nature, for there was no one in the Underworld who dared to address her in such a manner.

“You old hag, how dare you insult my Buddhist Sect? If you don’t receive some punishment, wouldn’t you take the Western Sect for easy prey?” Ye Xuan spoke coldly, showing no trace of a monk’s demeanor.

As the saying goes, “A dead pig isn’t afraid of boiling water.” Ye Xuan didn’t mind causing a scene. Since he bore the banner of the Western Sect and had the backing of the Western Two Saints, it would be all the better if he could incite a confrontation between the Underworld and the Western Buddhist Sect.

Moreover, as he had just entered the Underworld, he needed to establish some prestige to make others wary of him, which would also save him a lot of trouble — truly a plan that killed two birds with one stone.

“You’re courting death!”

Thud — Thud — Thud!

Granny Yellow Spring, fierce by nature, cared nothing for the so-called Western Buddhist Sect, nor about who Ye Xuan was. If she didn’t teach Ye Xuan a lesson today, how could she maintain her standing in the Underworld?

“You bald donkey, come face your death!”

Granny Yellow Spring shouted in fury, her voice like the screeches of a nightmarish bird, as overwhelming shadowy light soared to the sky, causing violent tremors across the vast expanse. As a Ghost Saint of the Underworld, she was no ordinary being; her power upon attacking was earth-shattering.

Rumble!

The Netherworld Ghost Claw descended, space crumbling. Granny Yellow Spring viciously reached for Ye Xuan, her withered, deathly pale claw shattering the laws of shadow and light, fully encapsulating Ye Xuan within its grasp.

“Granny, you mustn’t! He is the Master of Lingshan. You absolutely cannot kill him….” White Impermanence shrieked in terror, urgently warning Granny Yellow Spring, as Yin Soldiers had already reported to Emperor Fengdu that Qingming Buddha of Western Lingshan had arrived at the Underworld, and countless Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals had perished trying to block his path.

But if Granny Yellow Spring, in a fit of rage, killed Qingming Buddha, how could Emperor Fengdu face the Western Sect? If they incurred the displeasure of the Western Two Saints, the Underworld would unquestionably not withstand their wrath.

“What Master of Lingshan dares to speak insolently to me? Today, I will ensure he perishes with his soul scattered!”

Granny Yellow Spring snarled viciously, the Netherworld Ghost Claw already descended upon Ye Xuan’s Heavenly Spirit, seemingly poised to crush his skull in the next moment.

“It’s over, it’s over, a great disaster is coming!”

White Impermanence shuddered as he screamed, shutting his eyes tightly to avoid witnessing Ye Xuan’s grim fate, for he was acutely aware of how terrifying Granny Yellow Spring was. Although Qingming Buddha was a Quasi-Saint, if not killed by this blow, he would surely suffer unimaginable injury.

Thunk!

A peculiar sound emerged, quietly manifesting, like a droplet falling into the sea, leaving no further sound.

Silence, deathly silence.

Over a dozen breaths’ time passed, and still, White Impermanence heard no anomaly. He opened his eyes bewilderedly, and upon seeing the scene before him, he was utterly dumbfounded, his teeth involuntarily chattering in fear.

What did he see?

Granny Yellow Spring remained with her ghostly claw extended toward Ye Xuan, yet her body was frozen in the void, because a single finger was pressed against her ghostly claw, preventing her from advancing whatsoever.

Crack!

A discordant sound echoed in White Impermanence’s terrified gaze as Granny Yellow Spring’s ghostly claw shattered piece by piece, accompanied by a horrified scream from Granny Yellow Spring herself.

As for Ye Xuan, he stood unwavering, expressionless, his finger still pressed against Granny Yellow Spring’s ghostly claw, a faint trace of Buddha Light sprouting from his fingertip.

“Such a petty ghost dares to be arrogant in my presence? Today, I will obliterate you, both body and spirit, to manifest the might of my Buddhist Sect.”

Ye Xuan spoke coldly, his fingers closing together, thrusting forward fiercely. The sound of bones cracking was exceptionally piercing, and Granny Yellow Spring’s ghostly claw burst into a wisp of black smoke.

But it wasn’t over. Ye Xuan’s attack was terrifying beyond measure. As the only Semi-Saint in Heaven and Earth, how could Granny Yellow Spring resist him?

Boom!

Buddha Light erupted, laws shattered, Ye Xuan’s residual force undiminished — his strike shattered Granny Yellow Spring’s arm, pierced through her chest, evoking a harrowing scream from her mouth, and sent her crashing violently onto the Yellow Spring Inn.
