The Holy Land's Twin Beauties, Suppressed with One Palm
"Senior, please."
The deputy leader of Black Wind Stronghold, "Hei Xiong," had completely lost his previous ferocity. In its place was a deep-seated respect and obedience.
He personally led the way, taking Dongfang Yueming with him, and headed towards the headquarters of the Red Flower Society in a grand procession.
The Red Flower Society, in that exquisite pavilion surrounded by an endless sea of flowers.
"Report!"
A maid rushed in, looking flustered.
"Reporting to the Guild Master! Black Wind Stronghold... the people from Black Wind Stronghold have come to our door!"
"Oh?"
Huo Ling'er, who was lazily lying on the soft couch, idly teasing a Huo Ling'er red spirit bird, merely raised her eyelids and curled her lips into a disdainful smile upon hearing this.
"Black Wind Stronghold? Have they lost their minds?"
Shui Ling'er, who was quietly enjoying her tea nearby, smiled faintly and didn't take the matter to heart.
Both of them are genuine "Treasure-Grade Innate," and have already reached the Innate Perfection Realm! In this City of Chaos, apart from the mysterious and unpredictable city lord, they fear no one!
In their eyes, Black Wind Stronghold was nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs.
Just then, a rough yet obsequious shout rang out from outside the pavilion, echoing through the sky!
"The newly appointed chieftain of Black Wind Stronghold has come to pay his respects to the two presidents of the Red Flower Society!"
"The new chieftain?"
Shui Ling'er and Huo Ling'er exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Hong Sanniang was even more shocked!
She walked quickly to the window and looked outside. When she saw the figure in blue robes standing at the very front of the group, so calm it was almost unnatural, her beautiful eyes widened instantly!
[It's him?!]
[He... he actually became the new leader of Black Wind Stronghold?!]
"Sister, it seems," Huo Ling'er sat up, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes, "That's the so-called 'genius' that Third Sister mentioned."
"Hmm," Shui Ling'er nodded, still maintaining her calm demeanor, "To make a fool like Hei Xiong bow down, one must indeed possess some skill."
But that's all.
They come from the Water and Fire Sect, one of the eight holy lands of the Central Domain! They have forged the "Treasure-Grade Innate" that countless geniuses dream of!
Unless, of course, a "Saint-Grade Innate" talent appears—a rare find in the entire Central Domain, practically a prodigy—they are confident they are invincible among those of the same cultivation level!
Dongfang Yueming looked up at the two faintly visible figures on the pavilion and said calmly, "I've come here for only one thing."
"Hand over all of your Red Flower Society's Innate cultivation techniques and spiritual arts."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence!
Immediately afterwards, Huo Ling'er's angry shout came from the pavilion!
"How dare you! Who do you think you are?! How dare you covet the legacy of our Red Flower Society?!"
"It's over..." Hong Sanniang's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Meanwhile, the deputy chieftain Hei Xiong kept his eyes down, seemingly lost in thought, secretly plotting something.
[I wonder if this new master can defeat those two crazy women from the Red Flower Society.]
[However... even if we could win, it wouldn't matter. In this City of Chaos, the one who truly calls the shots is ultimately... the city lord!]
[I've heard that he's a true powerhouse from a super sect, whose cultivation has already reached... the Foundation Establishment stage!]
"Since they refuse," Dongfang Yueming shook his head, "Then we'll have to force them."
"Court death!"
Huo Ling'er could no longer contain her anger!
With a swift movement, she leaped down from the pavilion like a fiery phoenix!
In an instant, an incomparably scorching Innate pressure descended!
With a wave of her jade-like hand, a long flaming whip formed from pure fire-attribute spiritual energy, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating everything, lashed down towards Dongfang Yueming's head!
However, faced with this attack that would make any Late-Stage Innate Realm expert pale, Dongfang Yueming simply extended one hand.
"Buzz--!"
He didn't even use any spiritual techniques; he simply relied on his incredibly powerful physical body ( at the Saint-Grade Innate) to grab the flaming whip in his hand!
The scorching flames burned wildly on his palms, yet they couldn't even scratch a single inch of his skin!
"What?!"
For the first time, Huo Ling'er's beautiful eyes revealed an uncontrollable shock!
[He... he actually took my ' Flame Serpent Whip ' head-on with his bare body?! This... how is this possible?!]
Shui Ling'er, who had been looking forward to a good show, froze on her face with a smile!
Something's not right! His Innate Physique... is extraordinary!
Hong Sanniang stared wide-eyed, her heart churning with immense emotion!
"Is that all you've got?" Dongfang Yueming asked Huo Ling'er calmly.
"You!" Huo Ling'er's pretty face flushed red, feeling utterly humiliated! She shouted and pushed her Innate Perfection cultivation to its limit!
"Flame Dragon Break!"
However, before she could even unleash this trump card of her spiritual technique...
Dongfang Yueming simply, gently, pinched it.
"Bang!"
That incredibly tough flaming whip shattered instantly!
Immediately afterward, he took a step forward and arrived in front of Huo Ling'er.
A single palm strike, gently released.
Huo Ling'er felt an irresistible, terrifying force, as if the entire world was crushing down on her, descend upon her in an instant! All her protective spiritual light was as fragile as paper in the face of this force!
"Puff!"
She was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily against the wall of the attic, where she could no longer move.
The entire venue fell into an eternal, deathly silence once again.
"Now, it's your turn."
Dongfang Yueming slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Shui Ling'er, whose face had already turned pale, on the pavilion.
"It seems I have no choice but to beat you all into submission."
"All of you, come at me together."
"You!" Huo Ling'er struggled to her feet, her eyes filled with resentment and anger!
Shui Ling'er's figure also floated down, shielding her younger sister behind her. Her pretty face was now filled with endless solemnity.
The two stood side by side!
Seeing this scene, Hong Sanniang's heart sank to the bottom.
Right in front of the Red Flower Society, a major battle was about to break out.
Inside Black Wind Stronghold, an inconspicuous gang member, after confirming that no one was paying attention, quietly slipped out through the back door.
He didn't go anywhere else, but went straight to... the City Lord's Mansion!
"I have urgent business to discuss with Commander Su!"
A moment later, a dignified man whose aura had reached the Innate Fifth Level appeared before him.
"Explain."
"Commander!" The gang member immediately knelt down and recounted everything that had happened inside Black Wind Stronghold in detail!
After hearing this, Commander Su frowned deeply.
Black Wind Stronghold... it's been wiped out?!
[And, wasn't it the Red Flower Society that made the move?]
He sensed that something was wrong.
He dared not delay in the slightest, and immediately turned around and strode towards the deepest part of the city lord's mansion.
