Supreme Uprising - Chapter 1076
Chapter 1076: Warriors And Pawns
Luo Yunyang naturally had no idea about the things happening in Tianding Realm, as he had just suppressed Lu Xinlong in his Great Obliteration Millstone.
Although the Great Obleiration Millstone wasn’t rotating, it was still very difficult for Lu Xinlong to recover his physical body.
It could even be said that Lu Xinlong was suppressed so hard that he could not even move an inch.
While Zhong Ming and his gang were Yuan Venerates cultivation-wise, all of them were looking dimly at the situation because they knew that it was difficult for them to defeat Luo Yunyang.
“Luo Yunyang, you have to consider who you’re dealing with. Yes, it’s your authority not to lend Lu Xinlong your Great Obliteration Millstone.”
“However, it is also not right of you to be trapping Lu Xinlong. I hope you can release him right away.” A man glanced at Lu Xinlong before walking over.
Luo Yunyang glanced at the man who spoke and replied faintly, “All of you could have left if you wanted before you acted. However, only those that did not partake in attacking me can leave now. Lu Xinlong and Zhong Ming must stay behind!”
Zhong Ming appeared furious when he heard this. Lu Xinlong had been defeated and he had also suffered a major loss himself. Now, Luo Yunyang actually dared to demand more by wanting to keep them in Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
They were not going to be treated like distinguished guests this time if they were ordered to stay behind. They knew clearly that it would be a complete disgrace for them if they were made to do so.
“Luo Yunyang, keeping us here is a direct provocation to the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall and the entire Tianding Realm. If that happens, you will not be able to withstand the wrath of the entire Tiandiang Realm.”
Zhong Ming glanced at the silent Lu Xinlong. He knew that he had to say something in order to make Luo Yunyang worry.
“You’re being noisy!” Luo Yunyang eyed Zhong Ming before scoffing as he sent out the World-Shaking Sky Bell in his body. He controlled it with his spirit consciousness and expanded the World-Shaking Sky Bell tenfold before it started heading over to engulf Zhong Ming.
Although Zhong Ming’s physical body shattered, his cultivation remained intact. Thus, the first thought that came to his mind when he saw that Luo Yunyang was going to attack was smashing Luo Yunyang’s bell into pieces.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless. No matter which move he used, it would have no effect when the bell came down on him. The bronze-colored bell blurred for a moment before enveloping half of his body.
Zhong Ming, who had fought back from a distance, found it nearly impossible to move an inch. After all, his body was bound by an invisible force.
His struggle became weaker while the Yuan Venerates that followed him looked on sympathetically at his situation.
Some of those Yuan Venerates were prepared to make their moves but eventually decided to give up after seeing the might of the massive bell getting stronger.
“Hall Master Luo, we’ll take our leave!” A stern-looking man saluted Luo Yunyang respectfully before turning to make his exit.
The other talented figures of Tianding Realm also followed the stern-looking man and quickly left Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
“Hall Master, this matter…” The new Left Hall Master spoke helplessly as he looked at Zhong Ming and Lu Xinlong, who had been suppressed by Luo Yunyang.
In the past, anyone that dared disrespect Hong Meng Sacred Hall in the slightest would have been severely punished by Hong Meng Sacred Hall. However, the two of them were people with formidable backgrounds.
They were from Tianding Realm, and one of them was even a disciple of the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall. It would be disastrous for Luo Yunyang and the entire Hong Meng Sacred Hall if they were treated too harshly.
However, letting them off scot-free would put Hong Meng Sacred Hall in a passive position. It was precisely because the Left Hall Master understood the consequences that he spoke with such unease.
Luo Yunyang naturally knew the underlying meaning of the new Left Hall Master’s words. He understood that he must not have the slightest intent of cowering and retreating now. Otherwise, the entire Hong Meng Sacred Hall would be crushed by his actions.
“Left Hall Master, I know what you’re worried about, but we mustn’t cower at such a time. I would like to ask the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall how he taught his disciples if he were to come knocking on our doors.”
The new Left Hall Master sighed. Although he felt that Luo Yunyang’s approach was a little extreme, he also understood that their status in the eyes of the martialists from Tianding Realm would drop if they did not do this.
Without its pride, Hong Meng Sacred Hall might face nastier things that he did not want to see in the future.
“Left Hall Master, I’ve already talked with the four other Sacred Halls. We will all open our respective secret realms to let disciples of all Sacred Halls train inside. You will select a group of disciples with better potential and prepare them to enter the secret areas of the four Sacred Halls.”
Luo Yunyang’s words made the gloomy disciples of Hong Meng Sacred Hall light up instantly. Even Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow became extremely interested in entering the secret realms of other Sacred Halls to train.
They knew very well that this was a rare opportunity for them to enter and train in the secret realms of another Sacred Hall.
They might even encounter and obtain opportunities that could advance their cultivation in those secret realms. After all, the five Sacred Halls had their own respective foundations that could make them improve significantly.
“This is great!” The Left Hall Master felt very relieved upon hearing Luo Yunyang’s words. Thus, he replied seriously, “I think we should let the Da Qian Hall Master and the others know how Tianding Realm treated our Five Sacred Halls.”
Luo Yunyang nodded in agreement. After giving instructions to the Left Hall Master and the rest, he waved his sleeves and brought Zhong Ming and Lu Xinlong to the palace where he cultivated.
Zhong Ming was much more disappointed compared to Lu Xinlong, who was being suppressed by the Great Obliteration Millstone. Although he glared at Luo Yunyang in resentment, he couldn’t even endure it for 15 minutes when Luo Yunyang conjured the Great Obliteration Millstone to bombard his mind.
“Hall Master Luo Yunyang, my family’s Patriarch is a disciple of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor. Although he isn’t one of the five Hall Masters, he still has a reputable status in the entire Tianding Realm. If you… cripple my cultivation, my Patriarch will not let you off.”
Zhong Ming shuddered while speaking, as he was obviously frightened.
“Even if your family Patriarch is formidable, he wouldn’t be able to save you if I were to kill you now!”
Luo Yunyang did not continue striking his World-Shaking Sky Bell, but his words were like a torrential wave that crashed against Zhong Ming’s mind.
Only then did Zhong Ming realize that Luo Yunyang could kill him.
“Would you… dare kill me? Zhong Ming only realized how laughable his question was after saying it out loud.
“Your Patriarchs aren’t going to let me off anyways, so why can’t I kill you both?” Luo Yunyang smirked. “You should know that too. People will do crazy things when forced into a dead-end.”
“Hall Master Luo, I can pretend that this never happened. You just have to release me and Lu Xinlong and I will swear on my name that Lu Xinlong and I will not cause further trouble to you.”
Zhong Ming sounded anxious. After all, he was really feeling scared.
Luo Yunyang felt rather disappointed in Zhong Ming’s reaction, as Zhong Ming was a Yuan Venerate.
Within the 36 Great Cosmoses, a person with this level of cultivation could definitely dominate an entire Great Cosmos. Why would a person who had managed to cultivate to such an extent not be extremely resolute?
This particular fellow was acting in such a useless manner!
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had established Tianding Realm by himself and managed to produce increasingly gifted disciples. However, their wisdom and fighting capabilities were undoubtedly a failure.
Momentarily, Luo Yunyang even felt that the looming pressure had nearly disappeared completely. He glanced at Zhong Ming and said, “Do you think what you said is going to help your situation?”
Zhong Ming wanted to speak but couldn’t come up with a sentence. After all, he already felt that what he was about to say was utterly useless.
Luo Yunyang wouldn’t believe that Zhong Ming and his elders in Tianding Realm would let this matter rest that easily.
“Are you… really going to kill me?” Zhong Ming’s voice was shaking.
“It would be easy to kill you, but I can spare your life too. It depends on how well you’re willing to cooperate!” Luo Yunyang stared at Zhong Ming and said icily, “Everything will be negotiable if you cooperate nicely. However, don’t blame me if you do not cooperate!”
Zhong Ming’s hands trembled for a moment before he replied, “I will definitely cooperate. We were instigated by others this time. I hope Hall Master Luo will be magnanimous and not mind ignorant fools like us.”
Luo Yunyang ignored what Zhong Ming said, as he knew that his opponents were definitely not flowers grown in a greenhouse.
“Release your spirit consciousness and do not resist. I will activate the World-Shaking Sky Bell again if you dare to resist and I’ll be sure to shatter your spirit consciousness.”
Luo Yunyang spoke peacefully, but his tone was unquestionable. Zhong Ming knew that it would be very unfavorable for him if he released his spirit consciousness but he did not dare put up the slightest bit of resistance.
As a result, a trace of Luo Yunyang’s spirit consciousness entered Zhong Ming’s spirit consciousness in an instant. At first, Luo Yunyang was very careful as he explored Zhong Ming spirit consciousness. However, he soon let his guard down completely.
There was no hint of resistance or any cheap tricks.
Obviously, Zhong Ming, who had acted ignorantly initially, dared not put up any sort of resistance against Luo Yunyang’s intimidation.
This sort of Taishi Yuan Venerate could only fight battles that were favorable and would not participate in any uphill battles.
While Luo Yunyang despised such people, the information that swarmed his mind made a grave look appear on his face.
