Chapter 990: Meeting
Proofreader: Papatonks
“Who am I?”
Giving a charming smile, the woman darted her eyes to the fearful Venerable Ma and mocked, “You don’t even know who I am and yet you sent people after me? You guys’ won’t get very far in life with that attitude. Now listen up and listen good, I am Frigid Rain Sword King Bali Yuyu, personally appointed by the Patriarch of the central area’s Sword Star Empire!”
[A Sword King?]
Everyone gasped in shock, shivering and watching her with fear in their eyes.
Elder Li and Executive Cao were dumbstruck. The big fish spy from the central area they wanted to step over in their glorious career turned out to be one of the Nine Sword Kings. Who knew? At least it explained why all the men they sent died.
Nothing good ever came when dealing with the Nine Sword Kings.
Sure, they were big fishies indeed, beyond anything they could fathom, but still not enough for even their whole sect to catch.
Bu Xingyun’s face twitched and he choked. He gulped hard, his heart racing and snapped in anger, “For god’s sake, who the hell was the bastard that brought a Sword King over? Show yourself this instant!”
Venerable Ma stood up in tears and pain.
“Oh, so it’s you, old man!” Bu Xingyun growled, wishing nothing more than to end him then and there.
The Venerable was quick to get his wits about him cupping his hands, “Sect Leader, please wait. It wasn’t just me, it…”
Venerable whipped his head on Elder Li, slapping him hard and cursing, “Damn bastard, what are you doing inciting a Sword King? You had so many of our brothers killed!”
“Venerable Ma, Sect Leader, I…”
Elder Li’s lips shook, feeling victimized, then it was his turn to gave a smack, to Executive Cao this time, leaving a red print, “You good-for-nothing fool! You killed all those Genesis and Soul Harmony experts. Just why have you messed with a Sword King?”
Executive Cao choked from the tears, “Sect Leader, Venerable Ma, Elder Li, the intel was faulty. It’s not me, but the Qian clan’s, uhm…”
Executive Cao was looking for a scapegoat, too bad Zhuo Fan was long gone, leaving him all alone to take this monumental responsibility for this disaster. All he could do was pull a wronged face and explain, “A Qian steward told me about this so I went to capture the central area’s agent. I didn’t know it’s a Sword King…”
“Screw you! You actually went and believed some flimsy rumor without vetting it first? You’re just asking to be killed!”
Bu Xingyun cursed louder, then he bowed to Bali Yuyu at once, “Frigid Rain Snow King, this is a total misunderstanding born from these mutts’ idiotic belief in hearsay. You’re free to punish them as you like. Northern lands and central have yet to wage war. We’re only getting ready for it and not starting it. Would you please go someplace else and keep the peace…”
Bali Yuyu snickered, filled with disdain, “Bu Xingyun, you have some nerve. While both sides are about to wage war, you’re going for peace. How come?”
“Ha-ha-ha, isn’t the issue of the two sides because of Ouyang Lingtian of Sea Bright Sect? We have nothing against with your great empire…”
“Spineless coward.”
Bali Yuyu’s eyes shone and spat, “You’re one of northern lands’ five sects and yet when the enemy is barging in your home, you only think of hiding in a corner. Where’s your dignity, your honor in fighting off the invader? You’re the exact opposite of that Radiant Stage brat, who at least had the nerve to argue with me. While you, oh big sect, have no bone in your back. Humph, you’re nothing but garbage. I think I ought to do northern lands a favor by doing some spring cleaning. Ouyang Lingtian might even thank me for it, ha-ha-ha…”
Bu Xingyun’s fave went cold, “I take it then that miss doesn’t want to leave?”
“Take a guess, genius, humph…”
“Then my Sun Sea Sect can no longer back down!”
Bu Xingyun barked, “Bali Yuyu, I know your Nine Sword Kings are great, but don’t think our sect is any weaker. We have hundreds of Genesis experts, with a hundred at peak stage! Not even you alone can face such numbers without consequences. You’re just a peak Genesis expert anyway!”
Bali Yuyu rose an eyebrow, mocking, “Would you like to test that theory?”
Bali Yuyu’s face hardened and the constant snowstorm halted then and there. The skies slip next with the crack of a silver lightning. Sword energy flared and sent sword waves cutting the air, ripping everything in their path,.
The snow that dominated the skies so far has turned into a storm of silver, with silver sword waves in every direction one looked.
Like expected, whatever the waves touched, it ceased to exist, making Bali Yuyu the overlord of this world, with none escaping from her grasp.
Everyone shuddered from fear and chill.
Sun Sea Sect’s tens upon tens of thousand strong were nothing but bugs for this woman to squash, at her whim and mercy.
Bali Yuyu roared and unleashed all his power at her, with all the other Genesis experts doing the same, ready to die.
The heavens were filled with silver waves while the ground was soaked in Yuan Qi. The collision resulted into a hellscape, shaking everything around them.
Zhuo Fan’s carriage was rushing through the snow still, watching at the bizarre event in the sky. He could even see how the air warped, shocking his men.
Zhuo Fan hardly watched out the window, but this time even he was stunned at such power.
“A Genesis Stage expert can wield the power of the world. In a battle between cultivators at this stage it’s all about fighting for control of said power. Bali Yuyu alone, in this case, has the skies on her side, pushing down on all of Sun Sea Sect. They don’t have room to breathe, much less use the world’s power to fight back. The Nine Sword Kings are as strong as they say.”
The other men nodded solemnly.
[The Nine Sword Kings can destroy sects by themselves!]
Hooo!
Their amazement was short lived as their spiritual beast pulling the carriage roared and stopped.
It was so sudden, it almost threw its passengers off their feet.
Once at full stop, one guard looked out the window then said to Zhuo Fan, “Sir, there…”
“Here it comes, ha-ha-ha…”
Grinning, Zhuo Fan knew this was a long time coming, unphased by it as he watched the ten or so people outside standing before their carriage. The one in the lead was a three-meter-tall old man, while the rest keeping a respectful stance behind.
One guard frowned, “Who are they? What do they want?”
“Who we’ve been waiting for to show up.”
Holding Qiao’er’s hand, Zhuo Fan took a deep breath and got out the carriage. He regarded the tough old man with glinting eyes,
“Invincible Sword Baili Yutian, we meet at last!”
[What?]
The guard gasped in shock.
[That’s the best in all the lands? What the hell is he doing here of all places? Why us?]
The were still incredulous about this development, with Zhuo Fan smiling while pointing at the old man’s team, “Take a good look around him.”
The others were frozen in place at the realization.
Bali Yuyu’s silver waves had been spreading for hundreds of miles from the Sun Sea Sect, yet only the space around the old man was still tranquil.
It was like the border of two worlds, cutting off the ravenous storm outside from the peace within.
“I reckon there’s only Baili Yutian on this earth that can overcome a Sword King’s power and not letting the world power be disturbed in any way.”
Looking above, Zhuo Fan smiled and pulled Qiao’er as he walked to Baili Yutian without a care.
The old man waited for him with a deep gaze.
Whoosh~
But then, among Baili Yutian’s team one shot for Zhuo Fan, bent on murder and rage…
