Chapter 332 Chu Yang Returns! Gu You is Terrified! Extreme Sword Technique!
"Sect Leader Nalan, are you sure Mr. Chu Yang can make it back in time?"
Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Inner Court of Canaan Academy, looked at Nalan Yanran with a solemn expression.
Nalan Yanran had previously stated that she had sent a message to Chu Yang and learned that he would soon be returning to the Jia Ma Empire.
This made not only Su Qian, but also the higher-ups of the Yan Alliance and even the elders of the Yunlan Sect somewhat uneasy.
The Central Plains and the Gama Empire are far apart, and it would take a long time to send the message over and wait for Chu Yang to return.
Most importantly, they simply couldn't understand how Nalan Yanran had managed to contact Chu Yang so quickly after the Izumo Empire launched its attack.
Nalan Yanran smiled confidently and said, "Please rest assured, everyone, my junior brother is already on his way back."
"At his speed, it would only take him three days at most to travel from Zhongzhou to the Jiama Empire!"
A collective gasp filled the hall, and a somewhat obese old man chuckled as he spoke:
"Chief Chu's methods far exceed our expectations. Since even the Dou Sheng experts of the Chuyun Legion can't do anything to this little girl, all we need to do is stall for time and wait for Chief Chu's return!"
"Chief" is the title used by everyone in the Yunlan Sect to address Chu Yang.
He is of a younger generation, but his status far surpasses that of the sect leader, so it's really impossible to give him a clear position.
Therefore, he specially created a chief position for Yunlan Sect.
The title "Chief" refers to both the chief disciple of the Yunlan Sect and the chief expert among the Yunlan Sect's powerful members!
This position will never be filled, and if Chu Yang were to fall, the title of chief will also disappear.
The plump old man smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, giving people a rather kind feeling.
He is the head of the Yunlan Sect's Hall of Affairs, and also the strongest among the core elders.
There is no distinction of rank among the core elders of the Yunlan Sect; their status is entirely determined by their strength.
The fat old man is a peak Dou Zun powerhouse and currently the strongest fighter in the Jia Ma Empire besides Xiao Xiao.
Even Dan Tong, whose cultivation had reached the level of an eight-star Dou Zun, was not as strong as him in terms of combat power.
Of course, Dan Tong's greatest strength has always been speed, not direct combat.
Many people's eyelids twitched at the sight of the kind-looking, plump old man.
Before the war broke out, even the disciples and elders of the Yunlan Sect thought the fat old man was kind and gentle, a good-natured old man with little temper.
But on the battlefield, the fat old man showed another side of himself!
His methods were extremely violent. Although he always had a smile on his face, the bodies of the enemies who died at his hands could not even be pieced together completely.
Just then, a figure swept into the hall, glanced around, and said in a deep voice, "The Izumo Legion has launched a general offensive!"
Upon seeing the travel-worn Yao Ye and hearing her words, everyone in the hall stood up in unison.
Nalan Yanran immediately ordered, "It seems they can't wait any longer!"
Her gaze swept across everyone's faces, she took a deep breath, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and said in a deep voice, "The Yunlan Sect will never forget your assistance. If we win this battle, the Yunlan Sect will do everything in its power to help you in the future!"
After saying that, she waved her hand and said, "All members of the Yunlan Sect, follow our sect to fight the enemy!"
Watching the Yunlan Sect experts rush away, Nalan Jie and Jia Xingtian exchanged a glance, and the latter sighed:
"Nalan Jie, you've raised a wonderful granddaughter!"
The arrogance and willfulness of Nalan Yanran of today have vanished without a trace, replaced by composure and the aura of a sect leader.
Nalan Jie shook his head and smiled wryly, "Yun Yun has taught a good disciple, and Yanran's achievements today are inseparable from Chu Yang's guidance!"
"Let's go too! We old locals can't let anyone look down on us!"
This war has drawn in almost all the forces in the Gama Empire, and for whatever reason, they have no choice but to stand on the same side as the Yunlan Sect.
Everyone understands the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold"—once the Yunlan Sect is destroyed, the Jia Ma Empire will also change.
The ways in which the Soul Hall operates are well-known throughout the continent, but no one thinks they are benevolent, and few would dare to seek revenge against them.
This is why the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan appear somewhat isolated on the continent, with very few affiliated forces.
But they have enough strength and resources, so even if many people dislike them, they can't do anything about it.
The capital city, at the city gate.
Eleven figures stood in mid-air, followed by dozens of Dou Zun powerhouses, hundreds of Dou Zong, and thousands of Dou Huang and Dou Wang.
As for those below the King of Fighters?
This level of warfare doesn't need cannon fodder!
Or to be more precise...
These powerful warriors, who could dominate any empire in the Northwest region, became cannon fodder in this war!
Bone Nether Saint stepped out from the crowd, stood before the eleven Dou Sheng, looked down at the imperial capital, and coldly shouted:
"Yunlan Sect! Yan Alliance! If you obediently surrender and hand over what my Chuyun Empire desires, we will certainly not make things difficult for you!"
"But if you continue to resist stubbornly, it will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; your only fate will be death!"
As the person in charge on the surface, although Gu You was not strong enough, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to challenge them.
In fact, for this level of warfare, there's no need to waste words; just fight.
However, Gu You knew very well that the Jia Ma Empire was not an impenetrable fortress, and that the defensive line built in the capital was the result of the joint efforts of multiple forces.
Even among the powerful figures in the Gama Empire's legions, the vast majority are outsiders who have only recently joined various factions within the Gama Empire.
Therefore, he wanted to undermine the morale of the army in this way, and even tried to isolate Yunlan Sect and Yan Alliance.
"They act like prostitutes while trying to maintain a virtuous image. The Soul Palace's behavior is far less open and honest than that of the Ancient Clan, the Stone Clan, and the Spirit Clan."
A sarcastic voice rang out. Upon hearing the young man's voice, Gu You frowned and coldly retorted:
"Who came from, brat? How dare you spout such nonsense here?"
"It seems the Gama Empire is truly lacking in talent!"
"The Yunlan Sect appointed a mere young girl as its sect leader, and then promoted another young girl to lead the sect on her own. Now, even some unknown brat dares to speak to me, the Holy One?"
He looked down at the capital city and subconsciously assumed that the sound was coming from there.
But the next moment, a figure appeared silently beside him, a long, slender hand with distinct knuckles resting on his shoulder.
Gu You shuddered and raised his palm to strike without hesitation, but his hand froze in mid-air as soon as it was raised.
Because he discovered that he couldn't move an inch!
Chu Yang looked at Gu You in front of him and sneered, "Since the Soul Clan dares to travel thousands of miles to invade my Yunlan Sect, why bother with all the pretense?"
"Are they afraid of being outmaneuvered by other tribes?"
"Or are you afraid of exposing your conspiracy that you've been plotting for years?"
Not far behind the two, cold sweat slid down the forehead of the skeleton, who gritted his teeth and shouted, "Attack!"
Eleven Dou Sheng attacked simultaneously, each unleashing their trump cards and charging towards Chu Yang!
"Don't rush, I'll clean them up one by one. It's not your turn yet..."
Chu Yang waved his hand as if shooing away flies, and the eleven Dou Sheng were sent flying backward in an instant. All of them spat out blood and had to quickly weaken!
With a wave of his hand, he severely injured eleven Dou Sheng powerhouses. This scene immediately stirred up the Chu Yun Legion, and Gu You's heart sank to the bottom.
Chu Yang!
So young, claiming to be a member of the Yunlan Sect, and possessing such terrifying strength—he couldn't think of any other possibility besides Chu Yang.
But how come Chu Yang got back so quickly?
"The Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace..."
Chu Yang patted Gu You on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Let me ask you, is this the work of your Soul Palace, or is it the Soul Clan plotting behind the scenes?"
Gu You trembled all over, not daring to avoid Chu Yang's question, but not knowing how to answer it.
If the answer is the Soul Hall, then it's tantamount to taking charge of the clan and pushing the Soul Hall to the forefront, which will definitely lead to serious consequences later.
If the answer is the Soul Clan, it's tantamount to betraying the clan's higher-ups. Even if you survive, you'll still be held accountable.
But if he insists that this matter has nothing to do with the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan, this young man in front of him might kill him in the next moment!
Death is everywhere you look, in every direction!
Now we can only hope that Chu Yang won't completely break ties with the Soul Clan, and will at least leave some room for maneuver.
"Hmm?" Chu Yang suddenly stopped raising his eyebrows and withdrew his gaze from Gu You.
Just as Gu You breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was no longer going to make things difficult for her, he suddenly raised his hand in a certain direction, made a grasping motion, and coldly snorted:
Did I let you leave?
"Today, any Battle Saint who enters the territory of the Jia Ma Empire and attempts to escape without my permission will suffer this fate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang's loosely clenched hand suddenly tightened!
The space in the distance trembled violently, and a figure shrouded in a black robe appeared. Then, the body exploded along with the black robe, and blood rained down from the sky!
Gu You's eyelids twitched wildly; he was almost scared to death, because of the person Chu Yang had casually crushed...
It was the reinforcement he had just invited from the Soul Hall, namely the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall!
A three-star Dou Sheng peak expert was killed by Chu Yang with a wave of his hand. How could this guy be so powerful?
Is he really only eighteen years old?
Chu Yang turned his head and looked at Gu You again with a smile, "Senior Gu You, you didn't answer my question..."
Gu You trembled violently, his face contorted with grief, and cried out, "Young...young friend...no! Saint! Master! Grandfather!"
"It's the Soul Clan! It's an order from the Soul Clan!"
"I'm just a nobody, forced into this situation where I have no choice but to obey them!"
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Just ignore me like I'm nothing!"
At this moment, Gu You no longer cared about dignity or face.
Chu Yang, a peak-level Dou Sheng expert, could kill without hesitation. In his eyes, Chu Yang was merely a high-level half-saint, not even as good as an ant!
As long as he can survive, he wouldn't hesitate to call Gu You "Grandpa" or even make him kneel down and kowtow!
Chu Yang ignored him and looked up ahead, smiling as he asked, "Gentlemen, what do you think should be done with this person?"
Gu You, who was already terrified, only then realized that the powerful figures of the Jia Ma Empire had arrived in front of him at some point, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Clearly, they were also stunned by the scene of Chu Yang annihilating a peak three-star Dou Sheng expert with a wave of his hand!
Chu Yang's words brought everyone back to their senses. They looked at each other in bewilderment, but no one dared to speak.
"Owner!"
"Owner!"
Two slightly childish voices rang out, and then two petite figures rushed over.
Xiao Xiao jumped directly into Chu Yang's arms, looking very affectionate.
Dan Tong could only stand aside, watching longingly, much like a little brother who wanted to compete for favor but was suppressed by his older sister's bloodline.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."
Chu Yang rubbed his little head; he already knew everything that had happened in the Gama Empire.
Nalan Yanran used the Black Tower, which is the physical manifestation of Pangu, to send a message to Chu Yang immediately after the incident and report the development of the situation to him in real time.
Xiao Xiao raised her bright smile, her face beaming with joy.
It seems that in her view, receiving Chu Yang's affirmation and care was worth it, even if the series of battles left her battered and bruised.
Nalan Yanran stepped forward, pointed at Gu You, and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, since he is your grandson, it's naturally inappropriate for me, as his great-aunt, to make things difficult for him..."
Hearing her sarcastic words, Chu Yang's lips twitched, and he said irritably, "I don't have such a good-for-nothing grandson!"
Nalan Yanran's smile vanished abruptly. Staring at Gu You, she said coldly, "Junior Brother, this man killed thirteen inner sect elders and two core elders of my Yunlan Sect!"
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, tossed Gu You away, and said calmly, "Then let's settle scores! Let's avenge our grudges!"
Just as he said in the Soul Palace, now that he has enough strength, he should settle all scores, no matter what the grudges are!
Gu You gritted his teeth and roared, as if he wanted to fight to the death, but he found that he could not use any of his fighting spirit, and even his protective power was completely sealed. A look of despair appeared on his face.
Nalan Yanran waved her hand, and two elders from the Yunlan Sect immediately stepped forward and grabbed Gu You.
His fate was obvious, but judging from Nalan Yanran's attitude, she would never let him die easily.
Chu Yang turned around, looked at the trembling Chuyun Legion, and said calmly, "Anyone whose hands are stained with the blood of my Jiama Empire, point them out, and I will kill them!"
Nalan Yanran stood beside her with perfect cooperation, waved her hand, and said with a chilling murderous aura, "These people all deserve to die!"
"Then leave none alive!" Chu Yang smiled knowingly.
The two had an unspoken understanding. Chu Yang had never intended to let these people go. The reason he said those words was simply to create momentum for Nalan Yanran.
He wanted the Gama Empire, and everyone who was paying attention to this matter, to know that the person who truly held the power of life and death was his junior sister!
As Chu Yang finished speaking, the space above the entire map collapsed with a roar. Fragments of space rearranged and combined, transforming into countless ethereal swords, their blades pointing directly at the Cloud Legion.
Ultimate Sword Technique: Thousand Pounds!
This is the first time Chu Yang has used a complete move from all the sword techniques he has learned, combining their strengths and weaknesses to create his own unique sword style!
Compared to the initial stance, the power of Qianjun is many times more terrifying.
The powerful warriors of the Izumo Legion didn't even attempt to resist, scattering and fleeing in all directions. But those countless ethereal swords weren't targeting them at all; they encompassed the entire battlefield! (End of Chapter)
