However, his clever little scheme was nothing more than a joke in Luo Feng and Xuan Feng's eyes.
The Wangxian Dao Sect was indeed formidable, with deep foundations. Across the entire Great Xia Dynasty, it was also a sect that ranked among the best.
But who were they?
The Great Xia Shadow Guards!
Both of them were commanders who had been tempered by the fires of nirvana and forged Nirvana Bodies, peak cultivators of the Nirvana Realm.
Unless those old monsters of the Wangxian Dao Sect personally intervened, they could defeat them.
But with the four words "Great Xia Shadow Guards" placed before them, even those old monsters of the Wangxian Dao Sect would have to consider the consequences before making a move.
"His Highness is awake!"
At that moment, Chu Yun finally stirred. His eyes opened groggily, and Xuan Feng, who had been watching his condition the entire time, cried out excitedly.
Luo Feng also hurried to his side. "Your Highness, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, how do you feel?"
Luo Feng's concern left Chu Yun looking bewildered. "Your Highness? You... who are you?"
Although his backstory had already been arranged.
Chu Yun still did not know his own identity at present. He had to put on an act when necessary.
"Your Highness, we are the Great Xia Shadow Guards. I am Luo Feng, one of the four commanders."
"He is Xuan Feng."
"Your identity is..."
Luo Feng conveyed everything to Chu Yun through voice transmission.
After hearing it all, Chu Yun deliberately displayed an extremely "shocked" expression. "The Ninth Prince... is this real or fake?"
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
Luo Feng answered sincerely, "Rest assured, Your Highness. You are the genuine Ninth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. There can be no mistake."
"When we arrived, Your Highness was already unconscious. Fortunately, you are unharmed now. Otherwise, even ten thousand deaths would not absolve us of our guilt!"
Chu Yun acted as though he had just recovered from his shock. After pondering for a while, he gradually accepted his identity with composure.
"Your Highness, now that you have awakened, how should these people be dealt with?"
"Whether they live or die shall be decided by Your Highness."
Killing intent had already appeared in Xuan Feng's eyes. He found the people of the Nine Splendor Sect extremely unpleasant to look at.
They had even fancied themselves clever enough to use the Wangxian Dao Sect to suppress them. It was simply a joke!
"Fellow Daoist, this old man has said every good word he could, yet you still maintain such an attitude. Aren't you going too far in bullying others?"
After hearing Xuan Feng's words, the ancestor of the Nine Splendor Sect finally could not endure it any longer.
They would hand over the Heavenly Bloom Cauldron, and the Nine Splendor Sect would let bygones be bygones. Was even that not enough?
Just because they had high cultivation, did they truly think they could treat the Nine Splendor Sect like a soft persimmon to be kneaded at will?
The leading ancestor of the Nine Splendor Sect pointed a beam of spiritual light at the Universe Map pattern on the floor of the hall. Immediately afterward, the Spatial Teleportation Array platform in the hall was activated.
"This teleportation array platform is connected to the Wangxian Dao Sect!"
"Since you insist on pressing us step by step, then let the Wangxian Dao Sect come and reason with you!"
Ye Wanrou watched the situation change before her, her brows knitting together. Looking at Chu Yun, the hatred in her heart grew even stronger. "You actually hid so much from me, Chu Yun. Chu Yun, you are utterly hypocritical!"
"Once the Wangxian Dao Sect's people arrive, let's see how you clean up this mess!"
Chu Yun calmly watched the teleportation formation flickering with radiance, a relaxed smile still hanging on his face.
Of course, he had heard of the Wangxian Dao Sect.
It was Qingzhou's foremost Dao lineage. Even the Nine Splendor Sect was merely one of the Wangxian Dao Sect's affiliated powers.
But if the Wangxian Dao Sect were compared to the Great Xia Dynasty, the difference would still be far too great.
He was no longer in a hurry.
Everything Qin Kun, Zhu Tian Suo, and even Ye Wanrou had inflicted upon him before, all the humiliation—
He would demand it all back a thousandfold, a hundredfold!
As the light of the teleportation array flared, five figures immediately appeared atop the Universe Map pattern in the hall.
"Elder Yang!"
The several ancestors of the Nine Splendor Sect all cupped their fists and bowed toward the tall, red-robed elder at the forefront.
This red-robed elder was named Yang Muqian.
He was the Seventh Elder of the Wangxian Dao Sect, a powerhouse at the early stage of the Nirvana Realm!
"Xu Duo, why did you activate the teleportation array and summon members of our sect? What exactly happened?" Yang Muqian swept his gaze around the hall before looking toward the ancestor of the Nine Splendor Sect and asking.
"Elder Yang, this is what happened..."
The Nine Splendor Sect ancestor named Xu Duo respectfully explained everything to him.
The moment Yang Muqian heard that the Heavenly Bloom Cauldron had been stolen and that the Wangxian Dao Sect's medicine was gone as well, his expression darkened slightly as he looked at Chu Yun. "Boy, where is the Heavenly Bloom Cauldron?"
Yang Muqian was domineering and arrogant, not taking Xuan Feng and the others seriously in the slightest.
Chu Yun remained unhurried. "Commander Luo, can you deal with this old man?"
"How does Your Highness wish him to be dealt with?" Luo Feng asked.
"I don't like people acting so arrogantly before me. It would be better for him to speak while kneeling," Chu Yun said.
"Yes."
The instant his words fell, Luo Feng left behind only an afterimage.
In the next instant, Luo Feng appeared before Yang Muqian. A palm containing terrifying Nirvana Power struck toward him.
"Nirvana Realm!"
Yang Muqian's pupils suddenly contracted. He realized that Luo Feng before him was actually a powerhouse of the same realm as himself.
He stomped hard, shattering the entire floor of the hall. Countless streams of Nirvana Power burst from the ground like a thousand fire dragons, surging forward to devour everything.
However, Luo Feng swept his sleeve. Black Nirvana Netherlight shot in all directions, forming countless streaks of arrow-light that annihilated everything Yang Muqian had unleashed.
Bang!!
Luo Feng's palm then struck Yang Muqian squarely in the abdomen, piercing through his Nirvana Body.
Immediately afterward, a Nirvana Wheel radiant with black light appeared behind Luo Feng and descended upon Yang Muqian.
Bang!!
Yang Muqian's legs could not withstand that pressure. He dropped to his knees and was suppressed in place by Luo Feng's Nirvana Power!
"Elder!!"
"Master!!"
The other disciples of the Wangxian Dao Sect stared wide-eyed when they saw Yang Muqian being suppressed by Luo Feng, horrified beyond measure.
Yet in the next moment, four people stepped out from among the Shadow Guards. The might of peak Shattering Realm cultivators spread from their bodies and pinned down the four of them.
The several ancestors of the Nine Splendor Sect, along with Grand Elder Qin Kun, Zhu Tian Suo, and the others, all wore expressions as though they had turned to stone, frozen where they stood.
Xu Duo's eyes were filled with terror.
Nirvana Realm!!
The man before them was actually a great cultivator of the Nirvana Realm!
Even Elder Yang Muqian was no match for him and had been suppressed in just a few moves!
Who exactly were these people?
Why had a single disciple of the Nine Splendor Sect brought about the involvement of such figures?
"Cough... pfft..."
"Peak Nirvana Realm..."
"Y-you... who exactly are you?"
"Qingzhou has no figure like you. Who exactly are you?!"
Yang Muqian was equally horrified. His face was bloodless, and blood continued to stream from his mouth as he questioned them.
He knew that the cultivation of the man before him was high enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with their sect master.
Yet he was an unfamiliar face, clearly not someone from Qingzhou's local forces.
