Chapter 415: Chapter 416: Martial Emperor’s Intimidation

Besides Baili Canon, everyone else on the airship was also beaming with joy.

Because Qingyang City was just too remote.

The surrounding environment was so harsh that birds probably wouldn’t even want to shit here, and dogs would turn their noses up at it.

Normally, no one would ever want to set foot in such a barren wasteland.

And yet, they had found it.

“Let’s go, have a look!”

The group continued toward Qingyang City.

However, when they arrived outside Qingyang City and got a clear view of it, they were stunned by the sight before them.

Qingyang City was overflowing with Spiritual Qi, shrouded in a white mist that made it look as dreamlike and fantastical as an illusion.

‘This is a place where birds won’t shit?’

‘It’s clearly an Immortal Realm.’

Second Elder Baili Xiao said in surprise, “To build a city like an Immortal Realm in a place where birds won’t even shit… tsk, tsk. I have to admit, that kid with the surname Su has some real skill.”

“Anyone who could rampage through the Central Profound Domain, wipe out four major Sects including the Purple Cloud Palace and Haoyue Sect in one fell swoop, and even repel Granny Sha from Baihua Valley is obviously no pushover,” said Third Elder Baili Gu.

Even Baili Canon nodded in agreement.

The young man asked, “Grandpa, this place’s cultivation environment is almost on par with a Sacred Land, isn’t it?”

“On par? It has already surpassed it.”

Baili Canon said with certainty.

“What? Surpassed?”

The young man’s face was filled with disbelief.

In all his life, this was the first time he had ever heard of a place with a cultivation environment that could surpass a Sacred Land.

This was something that not even their Baili Race could accomplish.

After all, their Baili Race had three Martial Emperors and a powerful heritage stretching back nearly ten thousand years.

“In all my years of traveling far and wide, I’ve set foot in several Sacred Lands, but I’ve never seen a place with Spiritual Qi this dense!”

Baili Xiao exclaimed in admiration.

“Then…”

The young man said worriedly, “If Qingyang City is so exceptional, its strength must also be abnormally great. What if we can’t defeat them?”

“Can’t defeat them?”

Baili Canon sneered. “Forget one Qingyang City. Even ten, or a hundred of them, would be no match for our race.”

A faction’s strength isn’t just determined by its cultivation environment, but also by its history and heritage.

And as far as he knew, from its rise to the present, Qingyang City had existed for less than a year, at the most.

In that case, even if Qingyang City was filled with prodigies, it would be impossible to nurture too many powerful experts in such a short time.

“First Brother, what’s your plan?”

Baili Xiao asked.

A cold glint flashed in Baili Canon’s eyes as he said icily, “Naturally, we’ll start by putting them in their place. Once we’ve scared them a little, they’ll cooperate obediently and hand over the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid we need.”

“And we have to make them hand over the Earth Vein!”

Baili Gu added greedily.

With such dense Spiritual Qi, Qingyang City must have an Earth Vein that surpasses the Saint Level.

A tiny little place like Qingyang City is completely unworthy of enjoying such a resource.

“Let’s do it!”

Baili Canon readily agreed.

This time, he wasn’t just going to snatch the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid from Su Mo’s hands. He was also going to make Qingyang City bleed and fleece them for all they were worth.

“Third Brother, I’ll leave the show of force to you. Remember, be ruthless when you strike. That’s the only way to create a powerful deterrent,” Baili Canon instructed.

“Don’t worry, First Brother. I guarantee that with one punch from me, that Su fellow will come scurrying out of the city, fall to his knees in terror before us, and offer up their Treasure.”

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Just as Baili Gu finished speaking, the sound of heavy footsteps reached their ears, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.

Immediately after, a massive silhouette appeared in Qingyang City.

“Is that… a mountain?”

Baili Gu asked in surprise.

The giant silhouette was nothing else but a mountain, being carried out of Qingyang City by several hundred Demon Beasts.

Seeing this, Baili Gu froze on the spot.

Everyone else was stunned as well.

‘A horde of demons moving a mountain?’

‘What kind of bizarre situation is this?’

The one in the lead was the Two-headed Black Lion. Upon seeing Baili Gu, it shouted, “Hey, old man, get out of the way! Be careful or this mountain will crush you.”

Baili Gu stepped aside.

Under the command of the Two-headed Black Lion, the multitude of Demon Beasts carried the mountain to a spot ten thousand meters away from Qingyang City.

“Old man, are you here to visit our Xiao Alliance Sacred Land?”

the Two-headed Black Lion asked.

Baili Gu’s brow furrowed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, another massive silhouette appeared before their eyes.

It was another mountain.

This one, however, wasn’t being carried out. Instead, it was being lifted by hundreds of Flying Demon Beasts gripping its jagged edges as they flew.

Baili Gu was dumbfounded.

‘Why on earth are these Demon Beasts moving mountains?’

‘Have they got nothing better to do?’

The Two-headed Black Lion said impatiently, “Not talking? Fine, I can’t be bothered with you. I have to go help Elder Su move mountains.”

“Elder Su…”

Baili Gu asked, “Is this all Su Mo’s doing?”

The Two-headed Black Lion nodded. “That’s right. Elder Su brought back a lot of Treasure this time. He wants to expand Qingyang City to attract more talented people to live here, so we have to move dozens of mountains in the city to clear some space… I’m done talking to you, I’m getting back to work.”

Hearing this, Baili Gu couldn’t help but shake his head.

‘It seems Su Mo isn’t that strong after all.’

‘If it were me moving these two- or three-hundred-meter-tall mountains, I could do it all by myself.’

‘It’s just a few dozen mountains.’

‘Give me ten days, and I guarantee I’ll move all of them.’

‘But Su Mo has to go around gathering Demon Beasts just to move them. How troublesome.’

At that moment, Su Mo was indeed getting a little impatient.

“How long has it been?”

Su Mo asked.

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow replied excitedly, “About an hour. At this rate, we’ll be done in a few days.”

“Too slow!”

Su Mo said, shaking his head.

“Never mind that the Demon Beasts need to rest. Even if they worked without eating or drinking, moving mountains for all twelve hours of the day, it would still take at least three days.”

“Moreover, the process of moving the mountains will damage Qingyang City.”

‘It’s not worth it!’

Su Mo instructed, “Have them all go down and rest. I’ll handle the rest myself.”

“Elder Su, this is all manual labor. How could we let an esteemed elder like you…”

the Cyan Cloud Sparrow said with an obsequious smile.

“I don’t want to damage Qingyang City, and I certainly don’t want to disturb everyone’s Cultivation. Besides, I’m idle anyway. I’ll just treat it as a bit of exercise!”

Su Mo strode up to a mountain over four hundred meters tall and grabbed hold of it.

“Up!”

With a soft cry, the mountain that had required hundreds of Demon Beasts to barely move was casually lifted by Su Mo.

Then, he tossed it outside the city.

Meanwhile, Baili Canon said impatiently, “Third Brother, stop dawdling over there. Make your move!”

“Yes!”

Baili Gu unleashed his Realm’s power, and ferocious Spiritual Qi surged into his fist.

BOOM!

A terrifying wave of Emperor’s Might instantly shot into the sky, spreading throughout the heavens and earth before blasting violently toward Qingyang City.

“My goodness, the power in Third Elder’s punch is world-destroying.”

“Of course it is. Our Third Elder is a Martial Emperor. With that one punch, most of Qingyang City will probably be smashed to rubble.”

“Just watch. In a few minutes, that guy named Su Mo will come running out of the city and obediently kowtow and kneel before our Third Elder.”
