Chapter 197: Bizarre Encounter in the Underground River

Ye Wen laughed coldly. “The Law Enforcement Hall? What a joke! You know how the Law Enforcement Hall works. How old are you already, are you not embarra.s.sed to say that?”

“Insolent!” When one of the Supreme Elders saw that Ye Chen did not care about them at all, his face could not help but twitch. He could not resist sending a palm strike at Ye Chen.

A Martial Monarch cultivator had started to comprehend the law of s.p.a.ce. Although this palm strike was an ordinary palm strike, it became extraordinary after the laws of s.p.a.ce were applied; it was very mysterious.

The palm was clearly headed for Ye Wen’s chest. However, just as Ye Wen was prepared to make a move to deal with it, the palm suddenly vanished and ended up as an attack to his side.

“Boom!”

The difference in cultivation realm was too big; even though Ye Wen was a Medial Grade Martial King, this ordinary palm strike sent him flying back. He vomited a large mouthful of blood and fell on the ground heavily.

“Hu!”

Finally, Shen Manjun leaped into the air after she eliminated all of the Corpse Monarchs from the Running Corpse Sect. Then she walked gently, as though she was taking a leisure stroll; she instantly arrived before the group.

Everyone was surprised to see her lily-white hands smash toward the two people that held up Song Que.

A formless palm struck Song Que’s body with a loud bang. Song Que’s body immediately flew away from the support of the two people.

“Huang Dang! Huang Dang!” Song Que rolled back continuously, until he reached the side of the underground river. He was in an extremely miserable state. He climbed up and asked, “Martial Aunt Shen, why?”

The two Supreme Elders who had berated Ye Wen earlier did not dare to say anything when Shen Manjun made a move.

In this place, Shen Manjun was the most senior and she was the strongest. If one looked at her, it was obvious she was very angry. No matter how good their relations.h.i.+p with Song Que was, they did not dare to give any advice. They could only lament Song Que for being unlucky.

Shen Manjun snorted coldly and she ignored him with an icy face. She slowly walked to the side of the underground river and frowned as she looked at the turbulent water.

Suddenly, Shen Manjun shouted. Essence surged out from her entire body and her clothes fluttered non-stop. Her aura kept rising continuously while the wind blew wildly and whistled incessantly. At this moment, she violently sent a palm strike at the riverside.

“Hua!”

The force ran through the entire river within the cave; hundreds of meters of water. The gus.h.i.+ng river surged and was tossed up in the air. Not a single drop of water was left in the river and all of the fishes that used to be in the river rained down from the air continuously.

Shen Manjun’s gaze swept through the place where the river used to be. However, she did not see Xiao Chen at all. The turbulent water had already washed his body to an unknown place.

She sighed and waved her hands. The water in the air immediately fell back with a loud boom. This was the might of a peak Martial Monarch. With a casual wave, she could cause the river to surge and flow backward.

Shen Manjun stood at the riverside and mumbled to herself for a long time before she left.

“Pu!”

Just as the crowd was about to exhale in relief at the sight of Shen Manjun cooling off, the Heavenly Wolf King’s huge body gave off a loud sound that resounded through the cave.

The crowd s.h.i.+fted their gazes but they only saw Mu Xinya floating in the air quietly. Her eyes were closed and her silver hair and clothes fluttered in the wind. There was a silver crescent moon in the middle of her eyebrows that gave off a smooth mirror-like ripple.

“That’s bad, the Heavenly Wolf King pa.s.sed on his strength to the la.s.s,” Leng Tianzheng said loudly.

One of the Supreme Elder at the side said hoa.r.s.ely, “We were all distracted by what happened here and did not pay any attention to the Heavenly Wolf King.”

Right after this Supreme Elder finished his words, the group looked somewhat hatefully at the one-armed Song Que. If he had not attacked and killed Xiao Chen, things would not have become this complicated.

Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Wolf King be able to pa.s.s on his strength to Mu Xinya under their watch? Once his strength was pa.s.sed on, it would be impossible for them to extract it from Mu Xinya.

This was because of Mu Xinya’s current cultivation, she had not reached the stage of condensing a Sage Core. If they killed her, the Heavenly Wolf King’s strength she inherited would be scattered.

Furthermore, the more horrifying thing was that the instant this girl died, the thousand years of the Heavenly Wolf King’s cultivation would explode; the entire cave would collapse.

With the exception of a few people, who could survive the said explosion without problems, most of them would die and the other people would not be able to escape. Although they felt very angry, they could not do anything.

“How hateful!” Shen Manjun scolded as she sent a palm strike at Song Que. Her palm was very fast and she instantly struck Song Que into the underground river.

As of now, she had lived for close to 300 years. Although she currently did not show any signs of being at the end of her life, she could not guarantee when it could happen.

Only by entering realm of Sages, could they be a.s.sured. However, this matter had been spoiled by Song Que. Song Manjun hated that she could not smash him to death with that palm strike.

[TL note: Entering the realm of Sages likely meant becoming a Martial Sage. At the certain point in the story, the author started calling Martial Sages and Martial Emperors as Sages/holy man and Great Emperors.
