Chapter 210: Chapter 198: Snatching the Bride

"Flying? Another Ultimate Venerable!"

"Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Beasts? And three of them?"

Everyone was stunned by the sight before them!

"He said Luoqing City was unwilling... Does he have some kind of relationship with her?"

"They look about the same age. Showing up now... he can’t be planning to crash the wedding, can he?"

"Crash a wedding in front of so many Ultimate Venerables from the Empire?"

"What does it matter how many Ultimate Venerables there are? Didn’t you see? He’s an Ultimate Venerable too, and he has three Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Beasts with him!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the crowd below erupted.

Hearing the young man’s words from the sky, everyone knew he hadn’t come with good intentions. Their eyes all turned red with excitement.

These people had come because they loved a good spectacle. And people who loved a good spectacle all had one thing in common: they weren’t afraid of things getting out of hand. In fact, the bigger the chaos, the better the show!

So, they weren’t bothered by the young man’s attempt to "crash the wedding." On the contrary, they found it incredibly thrilling!

The Four Great Families were deeply entrenched in the Divine Wind Empire, and no one dared to offend them. Now, someone had suddenly appeared to openly challenge them... The very thought was exhilarating!

"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble at my grandson’s wedding?"

Zhao Xun hadn’t expected an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse to suddenly appear and say such things. His brows furrowed as he flew into the air.

"Heh, Qingcheng, come with me!"

"Yes!" Luoqing City nodded.

Nie Yun had intended to make a scene from the start. Ignoring Zhao Xun’s question, he gestured with his hand, and a whirlwind of True Qi enveloped Luoqing City, pulling her through the air toward him.

"Let go of my wife...!"

Zhao Xingpu’s face flushed crimson. He roared and threw a punch!

"Hmph!"

Nie Yun pressed down with his palm.

BOOM!

A massive Palm Seal instantly shattered Zhao Xingpu’s attack and slammed him viciously to the ground, where he struggled fruitlessly, unable to move an inch.

The gap in their power was too vast!

It didn’t matter what kind of genius you were; as long as you hadn’t reached the Ultimate Venerable Level, the gulf between you and an Ultimate Venerable was a world apart. They were not to be mentioned in the same breath!

"So strong... With a single casual strike, he shattered the full-power attack of a Qi Sect Powerhouse like Zhao Xingpu and even knocked him to the ground!"

"Is this the power of an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse?"

Watching the young man’s actions in the sky, the spectators’ jaws dropped, leaving them speechless.

Although they knew that Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses represented the peak for Qi Sea Cultivators, very few had ever seen one in action. Now, seeing Zhao Xingpu treated like an ant in the young man’s hands, they were all dumbfounded.

After placing Luoqing City on the Wind Wolf King’s back, Nie Yun turned to face the Zhao Family’s ancestor, Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun, who appeared to be assessing the young man’s exact strength and origins, frowned. "Just who are you?"

"Who am I? Heh. Nie Yun of the Luoshui City Nie Family!"

Nie Yun gave a faint smile.

"Nie Yun? The seventeen-year-old prodigy from Luoshui City? You... weren’t you at the Qi Sect level? How are you an Ultimate Venerable?"

Apparently having heard Nie Yun’s name before, Zhao Xun’s pupils constricted as he roared in astonishment.

"What? A seventeen-year-old?"

"A seventeen-year-old Ultimate Venerable?"

"A supreme powerhouse even more talented than Lord Mo Yanqing?"

Zhao Xun had blurted it out, his voice booming, and everyone below heard him. In an instant, all eyes turned to the young man.

A seventeen-year-old Ultimate Venerable... it shattered their entire understanding of Cultivation.

"Heh, it seems Lord Zhao Xun knows quite a bit about me! In that case, could you perhaps tell me where you’ve taken my parents and Luoqing City’s father, City Lord Luoo Zhanhao?"

Nie Yun smiled.

’Even though I’m not sure if Zhao Xun is actually connected to my father’s capture,’ Nie Yun thought, ’since I’m already making a scene, I need a good reason. It doesn’t matter if he denies it. I can just beat him until he admits it!’

’After all, his grandson blackmailed Luoqing City and claimed he could find City Lord Luoo Zhanhao!’

"How would I know where your father and the others are? Nie Yun, I don’t care how you reached the Ultimate Venerable Level. From the looks of it, you’re only at the Early-Stage Ultimate Venerable realm. Let go of my granddaughter-in-law and leave at once, and I can overlook today’s events. Otherwise, I don’t mind if an Ultimate Venerable falls here today!"

Zhao Xun’s expression darkened as he barked coldly.

"An Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse falling? You’re quite self-aware, knowing you’re no match for me and would surely die if we fought. Since you know that, you should just obediently tell me what you know. Don’t force my hand!" Nie Yun chuckled.

"What?"

"How dare he speak to Ancestor Zhao Xun like that?"

"He can’t possibly think he can beat Ancestor Zhao Xun just because he has three Demon Beasts!"

Zhao Xun was, after all, a veteran Ultimate Venerable who had reached the level over twenty years ago. For the young man to speak to him this way, showing him no respect whatsoever, made everyone think he had lost his mind.

"You’re courting death!"

Zhao Xun clearly hadn’t expected the young man to say that. Seething with rage, he spread his five fingers, about to strike.

"Heh, Brother Nie, it’s been a while. I trust you’ve been well? We’re both Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses. Sparring is one thing, but there’s no need to fight over such a small matter, is there?"

Just as Zhao Xun was about to attack, a figure suddenly materialized in the air, blocking the path between the two.

"It’s Mo Yanqing!"

"Mo Yanqing, the number one genius of the Empire! Now his title has been snatched by this Nie Yun..."

"I’m so glad I came today! To think I’d get to see two great geniuses at the same time!"

"Who do you think is stronger, Lord Mo Yanqing or this Lord Yun?"

"Is there even a need to ask? It’s obviously Lord Mo Yanqing. Lord Yun is a genius too, but he’s just too young, after all..."

Recognizing the figure who had suddenly appeared, the crowd below grew even more excited, their eyes glowing red.

Mo Yanqing: the number one genius of the Empire, an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse at the age of thirty-one, and an idol to countless people! Now, someone even more talented had suddenly appeared. The sight of these two great geniuses hovering in the air sent a wave of fervent excitement through the crowd.

"You?"

Nie Yun froze as he got a clear look at Mo Yanqing.

This Mo Yanqing was the very same man in linen robes who had tried to kill him back in Jibei City!

’No wonder I was so confused,’ he thought. ’The Divine Wind Empire only has a handful of Ultimate Venerables. I couldn’t figure out where another one had suddenly popped up from, especially one with such tyrannical strength!’

’In my past life, I never met Mo Yanqing. Besides, legends said he used a saber, not a longsword, so of course I wouldn’t have made the connection.’

"Heh, it is I. Brother Nie, would you be willing to do me a favor...?"

Seeing that Nie Yun recognized him, Mo Yanqing smiled.

Others might not know the extent of Nie Yun’s power, but Mo Yanqing knew it all too well. He knew that if Zhao Xun fought him, it would be a one-way ticket to death. Since he owed the Zhao Family a favor, he had naturally come out to play the peacemaker.

"Do you a favor? Are you looking for a rematch?"

The last time they met, this man had come to kill him, only to turn and flee after being defeated. Now he had the gall to come here and act as a peacemaker. Nie Yun sneered.

’In the eyes of others, he may be a peerless, supreme genius, but in my eyes, he’s nothing!’

"I... am not Brother Nie’s match! That sword strike of yours... I couldn’t block it at all! There is no need for a contest!"

His lips parted and closed. Mo Yanqing was well aware of his own capabilities, and he ultimately let out a sigh.

"What? Lord Mo Yanqing himself admitted he’s not Lord Yun’s match? This..."

The crowd below was in an uproar. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
