Chapter 812: Do You Remember the Void Realm (2/2)

……

“Lu Yun, have you made it so that anyone not of your kin, or of the Dao Academy, has the opportunity to ascend to the dao immortal realm?” Zi Hengxiao bit out his words as he looked at Lu Yun. “We have come to Nephrite Major not to besiege Dusk Province, but to demand an explanation!”

He drew himself upright and yelled loudly, “By what right do you, Lu Yun, prevent those of the world of immortals from attaining dao immortal realm?!”

His roar traveled forth in sound waves that reached every corner of the world. This furious denouncement elicited sympathy from many immortals whose ears rang from the exhortation. Those who’d plucked their aether dao fruits in particular looked at Lu Yun with fury.

In that instant, Lu Yun observed boundless resentment come crashing his way like a dense layer of tribulation clouds. Once these grudges and resentment condensed to a certain level, they would form a terrifying curse to kill him even without triggering a heavenly tribulation.

“Indeed, there seems to be some basis in the idea that being universally condemned means dying in one’s sleep.” Lu Yun frowned slightly.

“Lu Yun!” Zi Hengxiao snarled again. “I represent everyone in the world of immortals and all of the immortals in the universe in demanding that you return the Dao Tree immediately! Otherwise, thirty-six peak factions and a hundred and eight clans will doom you beyond redemption, even at the risk of our own doom!”

Wham!!

Wham!!

Wham!!

Booms echoed as thirty-six connate treasures slowly rose to the air and further encircled Dusk Province. Terrifying ripples traveled in all directions, until they enveloped all of Nephrite Major in their dreadful aura.

Peak factions were called thus because they possessed connate treasures with which to hold down the fort. However, their appearance meant that the clan was facing a life and death crisis, and their very survival was in doubt. To these peak factions, it was indeed such a crisis.

They needed Lu Yun to submit and bow his head in front of their despotic power. Once he gave way in the matter of the Dao Tree, then the authority of the Dao Academy and his personal influence would scatter upon the wind. The entire world of immortals would know that Lu Yun had caged the Dao Tree for his own selfish gains and attempted to enslave them all! That would paint a target on his back and the up-and-coming Dao Academy. These seemingly unrelated matters were the dying gasps of the peak factions!

Currently, thirty-six connate treasures and hundreds of dao immortal treasures hovered in the air. Once this kind of public censure and strength bore down on them, it’d likely sink all of Dusk Province.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Lu Yun’s capitulation. Despair and doom wrapped around the cultivators and immortals within Dusk Province’s borders, not to mention the mortals that’d just arrived.

“Return the Dao Tree?” Lu Yun stood in the air with his hands behind his back, shaking his head after considering the various treasures aimed at him. “Is the Dao Tree yours?”

“The Dao Tree is everyone’s.” Zi Hengxiao answered calmly.

“In that case, let me ask everyone.” Lu Yun lifted his head and looked at all the cultivators and immortals beyond Dusk Province. “Do you remember the void realm?”
