Chapter 387: Chapter 360: Make Him Kneel Too

’A powerhouse at the Peak of the Magical Power Realm? As expected of the Ancient City, there are so many experts!’

Nie Yun was taken aback when he saw the newcomer, sighing with emotion internally.

The entire Divine Holy Empire only had three Secret Realm Powerhouses in total. He never expected to see three of them—each one stronger than the last—on his very first day in the Ancient City. ’How terrifying!’

’But the Soul Realms of these Secret Realm Powerhouses don’t seem to be very high. It’s a bit strange!’

Nie Yun also found it strange now that he had a clear look at their strength.

Huangg Chen and the Zi Qiong Emperor were only at the Mid-Stage Secret Realm Peak, but both of them had Half-Step Spirit Level souls. In contrast, Mu Yan and Mu Long from just now only had souls at the Qi Sea High Level. Even this newcomer, a powerhouse at the Peak of the Magical Power Realm, was only at Qi Sea Great Perfection! Their Soul Realms couldn’t even compare to Huangg Chen and the Zi Qiong Emperor!

’Don’t you have to reach Qi Sea Great Perfection before you can advance to the Secret Realm? How can people from the Ancient City do it at just the Qi Sea High Level?’

Even with Nie Yun’s vast experience, he was somewhat baffled.

’Maybe it’s related to the Spirit Rhinoceros Spring Water, or perhaps the unique geographical environment here. Otherwise, why don’t the people here ever leave?’

The thought flashed through Nie Yun’s mind as he pondered secretly.

"Mu Qiaoxian? Muaixia Manor actually sent you? What an honor!" Mu Yan’s expression turned ugly the moment he saw the powerhouse who had suddenly appeared before him.

"Mu Qiaoxian? The fifth-ranked expert from Muaixia Manor? I heard his Iron Palm is unrivaled, and even Primordial Saint Realm powerhouses are helpless against his Devil’s Body Technique. Why would Muaixia Manor send him out?"

"Mu Long was forced to his knees. That was a huge loss of face. If Muaixia Manor didn’t make a move, they’d be thoroughly humiliated. Of course they’d send a powerhouse to reassert their dominance!"

"Terrifying. They say Mu Qiaoxian can fight even Primordial Saint Realm powerhouses with his speed and strength. If Dieyi Manor doesn’t send someone else, they’re going to be in big trouble!"

"Big trouble? It’s worse than that. He might not dare to kill Mu Yan, since he belongs to the manor, but those two outer disciples are definitely dead. Outer disciples can’t change their bloodline and become true citizens of the Ancient City unless they participate in the Holy Spirit Disciple Competition and secure a ranking! Killing people like that... is no big deal!"

"Killing people so openly? If Muaixia Manor does that, wouldn’t it be unfair?"

"Unfair? What’s fair? Isn’t it whatever the Five Great Manors say it is? And it’s not like you haven’t heard of Mu Qiaoxian’s reputation—arrogant, domineering, and tyrannical. Those two outer disciples just caused his manor to lose so much face. It would be strange if he *didn’t* make an example of them!"

The people in the inn who had been watching all along paled when they saw the figure that had suddenly appeared.

Mu Qiaoxian was a renowned figure throughout the entire Ancient City, incredibly strong and utterly arrogant. Seeing him appear, everyone knew this matter would not be easily resolved.

"Heh heh, Mu Yan, hand over these two outer disciples right now, and I can let you leave without a fight. Otherwise, I don’t mind teaching one more person a lesson today. I’ll let you have a taste of my Iron Palm!"

Seeing that Mu Yan recognized him, the newcomer, Mu Qiaoxian, let out a loud laugh, a glint in his eyes.

"These two are merely outer disciples of our manor, Mu Qiaoxian. For a dignified powerhouse at the Peak of the Magical Power Realm like yourself to make a move against two Ultimate Venerables... isn’t that going too far?!"

Mu Yan’s expression faltered at the threat, but he still gritted his teeth and stood protectively in front of Nie Yun and Mu Xia, not backing down.

It was no wonder. The Holy Spirit Disciple Competition involved the most vital interests of the Five Great Manors. These two newcomers were incredibly strong and might be able to create a miracle, bringing immense benefits to Dieyi Manor. How could he possibly let such an opportunity slip away!

"Going too far? Heh heh, I happen to enjoy going too far. From the sound of it, you don’t intend to hand them over. But that’s fine! I’ll just beat you up along with them. You made all of our people kneel, so you can kneel for me too!"

Mu Qiaoxian sneered again and suddenly attacked.

WHOOSH!

The immense Mana of a Peak of Magical Power Realm expert erupted from his palm, forming a curtain that descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Mu Yan completely and leaving him with no way to escape.

"You... Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Dragon Palm!"

Mu Yan hadn’t expected a dignified powerhouse at the Peak of the Magical Power Realm to attack without any warning, showing no regard for his status. Furious, he roared, thrusting his palms upward to form a Palm Force Light Shield that protected everyone.

"Mu Xiao, take Mu Xia and Mu Yun back to the manor! I’ll hold him off! Go, now!"

Holding up the light shield, Mu Yan roared, the veins on his anxious face bulging.

"Lord Mu Yan, what about you...?" The man named Mu Xiao looked worried when he heard that Mu Yan planned to face Mu Qiaoxian alone.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. He won’t dare to kill me. Hurry up and go, or it’ll be too late!"

Seeing that they still weren’t leaving, Mu Yan roared again in desperation, his voice growing hoarse from the urgency.

"Heh heh, trying to leave? None of you are going anywhere today until you give me an explanation!" Seeing Mu Yan act so righteously at a critical moment, Mu Qiaoxian just laughed as he increased the power in his palm.

CRACK!

Mu Yan could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed straight to his knees.

"Lord Mu Yan... Let’s go!"

Mu Xiao’s face turned grim when he saw that Lord Mu Yan could no longer hold on. He grabbed Nie Yun and Mu Xia to leave, but after just one tug, he froze. The two of them were standing rooted to the spot, completely unmoved.

"Hurry up and go! It’ll be too late if we don’t..." Seeing that the two of them weren’t moving, Mu Xiao was startled and yelled anxiously.

"Go? Why should we go? It’s just this Mu Qiaoxian, isn’t it? Since he came over, we can just make him kneel too. Why should we be the ones to leave?"

Nie Yun pulled his arm free from his grasp, took a step forward, and spoke calmly.

"What?"

"Has this kid lost his mind?"

"I think so. A mere Ultimate Venerable actually said he’ll make a powerhouse at the Peak of the Magical Power Realm kneel. He’s really asking to die!"

Hearing Nie Yun’s words, everyone who had come with Mu Qiaoxian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

In their eyes, this boy was definitely insane. A mere Ultimate Venerable claiming he would make a powerhouse at the Peak of the Magical Power Realm kneel—if that wasn’t madness, what was?

"Haha, kid, you’ve got some real nerve! That’s the best joke I’ve heard in my entire life. Since you’re asking to die, I won’t hold back! Kid, I’ll kill you right now and let you know that you don’t just go around offending a Secret Realm Powerhouse!"

Mu Qiaoxian was also stunned for a second before bursting into laughter. He abruptly swung his palm toward Nie Yun!

’What powerful strength! Still... you can kneel too!’

Seeing the palm strike approach with overwhelming momentum, its Mana expanding rapidly like a bubble, Nie Yun just smiled faintly and pointed his finger forward once again.

CRACK!

The Mana bubble exploded. Before Mu Qiaoxian could even react, he felt an immense force press down on him. His knees buckled, and with a THUD, he too fell to the ground, kneeling!
