He had originally thought the other person would have a fierce appearance, but to his surprise, he was greeted by a face with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a gentle and refined temperament.
He was clearly a kind-looking Confucian scholar, completely unrelated to terms like "demon lord" or "Grand Duke Jupiter".
Wu Laoda was stunned into thought until he felt the other person looking at him with a mocking gaze. He suddenly snapped back to reality and broke out in a cold sweat!
"Mr. Chu... this is a small gift, I hope you won't find it offensive." Old Wu's hands and feet were cold, and his tongue seemed to be tied in knots, so he spoke intermittently.
Among that pile of treasures were four or five fist-sized luminous pearls, which were priceless.
But Chu Yang didn't give it a second glance. He reached out and knocked on the carriage, saying softly, "Little girl."
Li Mochou poked half her head out, glanced at the treasures, said "I don't want them," and then pulled her head back in.
Chu Yang shrugged helplessly and laughed, "She said she doesn't want it, what can we do?"
Old Wu was sweating profusely, and awkwardly grinned, saying, "Please accept it. Don't take a child's words seriously!"
"The problem is, I don't want it either..." Chu Yang said quietly, "How about we get something more valuable?"
Old Wu swallowed hard. "What's even more valuable?"
Chu Yang didn't answer, but just looked at him with a kind smile.
Old Wu's face suddenly turned deathly pale, as if he had already guessed what was more valuable than the treasure...
He trembled as he retreated step by step, not daring to turn his back to Chu Yang, fearing that his head would be separated from his body in the next second.
When Mei Jian saw that Boss Wu had brought the treasure back again, he frowned and said, "Boss Wu, what are you doing?!"
"Miss Mei... that Mr. Chu wants something even more valuable!"
Old Wu replied with a long face.
Mei Jian was completely bewildered.
Boss Wu had no choice but to spell it out: "The Demon King wants our lives!"
Mei Jian's face turned ashen!
The others' faces were not much better.
"Extremely arrogant! Grandma doesn't want to be his enemy, yet this man is taking advantage of our kindness. Does he really think our Lingjiu Palace is afraid of him?"
"All departments of Lingjiu Palace, listen to my command! Form ranks and surround that carriage. I want to see just how capable this Mr. Chu is!"
"Thirty-six cave masters, seventy-two island masters, Grandma orders you to take the lead. Whoever captures him will be released from the control of the Life and Death Talisman!"
The Heavenly Child Granny seemed to have foreseen the worst outcome and made arrangements long ago, with the four sisters, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, issuing orders on her behalf.
Wu Laoda and the others, who had received the death order, were initially quite desperate, but upon hearing that the Life and Death Talisman could be lifted, a blush rose on each of their faces, and their eyes turned crazed.
The pain of the Life and Death Talisman is more terrifying than death itself.
The shouts of battle were deafening. A group of warriors charged recklessly toward the carriage, followed by palace maids from Lingjiu Palace in formation.
Chu Yang had no interest in fighting these worthless bastards, so he directly activated his Conqueror's Haki.
An invisible surge of energy caused martial arts masters to fall to the ground one by one. After a short while, only the four sisters, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, remained at the foot of the mountain.
Mei Jian, who had been so arrogant just moments before, stood there trembling.
She had never seen anything like this before. She had only heard that the Demon Lord was very evil, but she didn't know exactly how evil he was.
Now I can witness it with my own eyes.
"What are your plans to do with these people?"
"They didn't hurt me directly, and I don't want to take their lives."
"Alright, then let's stick to the old rules and cripple their martial arts."
Upon hearing that her martial arts skills were to be crippled, Huang Rong eagerly climbed out of the carriage and began skillfully damaging the meridians and dantian of Wu Laoda and his men.
So skilled that it's scary.
Chu Yang has always valued clear distinctions between gratitude and resentment.
Tianshan Tonglao was the mastermind, and Wu Laoda and others were accomplices. As for the palace maids of Lingjiu Palace, apart from having a master-servant relationship with Tianshan Tonglao, they had nothing to do with this matter.
On that day at Bright Peak, Chu Yangge only killed the leaders of the Kongtong Sect, Huashan Sect, and Kunlun Sect, without making things difficult for their disciples.
Therefore, he decided to let the maids go.
The carriage slowly approached the mountain road leading to Misty Peak. Chu Yang turned his head to the four swordsmen, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, who were dumbfounded, and said, "Excuse me, could you please make way?"
The four looked panicked and trembled, but they did not obey and move aside.
They knew that if they stepped aside, the Heavenly Child Granny, who was in seclusion cultivating, would definitely be no match for the person in front of them.
The four were raised by the Heavenly Child Granny, and the debt of gratitude for her upbringing alone was enough for them to sacrifice their lives.
"Loyalty is commendable."
Chu Yang nodded.
Plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum gritted their teeth, drew their swords, and prepared to fight to the death, but before they could take a single step, they all collapsed to the ground.
Ultimately, they weren't even top-tier fighters, so how could they possibly withstand the impact of Conqueror's Haki?
The Tianshan Mountains are steep and rugged, and the Lingjiu Palace is located on a dangerous peak. Since Xiao Hong refused to go, Chu Yang had no choice but to leave them at the foot of the mountain.
Huang Rong originally wanted to go with them, but she was worried about the safety of Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu, so she gave up the idea.
And so, Chu Yang climbed the peak alone.
The Tianshan Mountains are magnificent, adding an air of mystery to the silent night.
Most of the palace maids of Lingjiu Palace were arranged by Tianshan Tonglao to stay at the foot of the mountain, and only a small number of people remained on the mountain, who could be regarded as nothing.
Whether on the mountain or below, Tianshan Tonglao didn't care about the lives of these people. As long as they could stop Chu Yang, their deaths would be worthwhile.
In Tianshan Tonglao's mind, there was no master in the world who could truly fight against a thousand men single-handedly, not even her master Xiaoyaozi.
Perhaps she felt that even Zhang Sanfeng and Feng Qingyang combined were no match for her master, and that Mr. Chu, who defeated the two, was nothing special.
With nearly a thousand disciples of Lingjiu Palace, plus Boss Wu's gang, there's no reason they couldn't stop Mr. Chu. They could wear him down even with a war of attrition.
"Demon Lord? Tai Sui?"
"I'll deal with you after I've mastered my divine skills. You can be arrogant for now!"
After cultivating for a while, Tianshan Tonglao felt uneasy, and uttering a few harsh words seemed to be her way of giving herself some confidence.
After adjusting her breathing for a quarter of an hour, Tianshan Tonglao began to practice her internal energy again.
The palace where the hermitage was located suddenly began to tremble.
The Heavenly Child Granny suddenly opened her eyes.
Rumble~~~
It felt like some terrifying force was bombarding the entire palace from outside!
Do not!
It's bombarding the entire Misty Peak!
Tianshan Child Granny was terrified. Ignoring the danger of going into demonic possession, she interrupted her cultivation once again and hurriedly left the palace.
A young scholar was pounding on the gate of Lingjiu Palace with his fist, which was as big as a sandbag.
Since it's about avenging the massacre of our entire family, there's no reason not to tear down this dilapidated mountain gate.
Not only Lingjiu Palace, but all the sects that Chu Yang dismantled along the way received the same treatment.
First demolish the mountain gate, then kill the sect leader.
Upon seeing this, Tianshan Tonglao felt a chill run down her spine!
She could guess who the scholar in front of her was even with her toes...
So many people couldn't stop him?
Just as the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny was terrified, Chu Yang suddenly looked up and gazed in her direction.
The two looked at each other.
Chu Yang grinned.
Tianshan Tonglao's heart suddenly contracted, as if someone had squeezed it tightly.
She used her lightness skill to turn and escape, but her body was controlled by an immense suction force in mid-air, and the surrounding scenery was rapidly reversed.
The next moment, Tianshan Tonglao's neck tightened, as if it had been clamped tightly by a vise.
"You're a pitiful person, reduced to this state for the sake of a fleeting love. As you die, let me tell you the truth: the person your senior brother Wuyazi loved most in his life was not you, nor Li Qiushui, but your junior sister."
Upon hearing this, Tianshan Tonglao froze, then suddenly turned around, but Chu Yang grabbed her neck and snapped it as she turned.
Even so, the Heavenly Child Granny still stared intently at Chu Yang.
"What you said...is true?"
Tianshan Child Granny, her eyes wide with rage, clung to her last breath, desperately seeking a definitive answer.
"real."
Chu Yang nodded.
