"Dugu Haoyu, what kind of show are you trying to put on?"
Even though Dugu Haoyu's actions had surprised and even shocked Xing Jue, Xing Jue did not react to it. Instead, he was quietly waiting to see what Dugu Haoyu was going to do next.
"Don't worry, I, Dugu Haoyu, will definitely compensate for the losses your Asura Palace has suffered." After bowing deeply to Xing Jue, Dugu Haoyu cast his fierce gaze at Dugu Feng, who was lying on the ground with a face full of fear.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Dugu Haoyu struck out with his right arm. A dazzling palm print shot out, heading straight for Dugu Feng's chest.
"Puchi!"
"Ahhh ~"
Dugu Haoyu's attack was so fast that not a single person in the hall was able to see his movements clearly. By the time everyone had reacted, they were shocked to discover that Dugu Feng was clutching his chest with both hands as he continued to roll on the ground. His screams of pain and misery rang out throughout the entire hall.
But what shocked them the most was that although there were no changes outside of Dugu Feng's body, his aura was rapidly deteriorating. In just a short period of time, he had fallen from a high-level Combat Emperor to an ordinary person.
Furthermore, his Qi Sea was completely destroyed, and even his soul was damaged. He was now a cripple for the rest of his life. Dugu Haoyu had actually crippled his own son with his own hands.
After a moment of agonizing struggle, Dugu Feng was finally unable to endure the heart-wrenching pain and fainted.
After personally crippling Dugu Feng's cultivation, Dugu Haoyu cast his fierce gaze at Elder Ren Xuan.
"Plop!"
"Lord Palace Lord, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
"Let me go, let me go! This was all Young Master's orders, I didn't do it on purpose!!!"
Elder Ren Xuan suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy. An old man who was over a hundred years old was actually begging for mercy to a young and strong middle-aged man. It was rather comical. However, this continent was like this. There was no distinction between the senior and the junior, only the strong would be respected.
"Although this matter can't be blamed on you, you violated my palace's rules. You can be spared from death, but you can't escape punishment. Today, I'll cut off one of your arms to teach you a lesson."
Swish!
Dugu Haoyu straightened his palm and abruptly swung it. Next, an invisible stream of energy – like a sharp blade – surged forward. However, this stream of energy contained a power that not even a Prized artefact could match.
There were no screams, no blood, only the severed arm that was separated from the body. It was clear that Dugu Haoyu's attack was not only powerful, it was also terrifyingly fast.
"Many thanks for not killing me, Palace Master!"
Only when his severed arm fell to the ground did Elder Ren Xuan react. He immediately threw a pill into his mouth and knelt on the ground while enduring the pain.
"Phew ~"
Even Xing Jue couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when he saw what had just happened. Martial Masters' bodies were already impenetrable, and ordinary weapons wouldn't be able to injure them. Furthermore, a Battle Thearch's body was even more terrifyingly tough.
Not to mention normal weapons, even a Battle Monarch's Prized artefact wouldn't be able to injure a Battle Thearch's body when he was caught off guard.
This was the huge disparity between cultivation levels and levels. However, Dugu Haoyu was actually able to cut off an early-stage Battle Thearch's arm so easily. Furthermore, the method he used was just right.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying Dugu Haoyu's strength was. Furthermore, Dugu Haoyu's aura was like a bottomless pit, which made it hard for Xing Jue to see through. However, one thing was certain: Dugu Haoyu's strength was even more terrifying than Elder Tian Xuan's.
"Palace Master Xing Jue, Feng 'er has always been very flamboyant. To him, crippling his strength is worse than death."
"As for Elder Ren Xuan, he was merely instructed by Feng 'er to not kill him, so I chopped off his right arm. This is already an extremely heavy punishment for the two of them. I wonder if Palace Master Xing Jue is satisfied with this?"
Dugu Haoyu said with a righteous expression. It was as if it was natural for him to cripple his own son's strength. There wasn't a single trace of emotion on his face.
"Palace Master Dugu, as expected of the great hero of the Towering Sky Domain, the idol of the commoners. Today, I, Xing Jue, have witnessed your methods. I, Xing Jue, am truly impressed." Although he wished he could hack Xing Jue into a thousand pieces, he still had to pretend to admire Dugu Haoyu.
Dugu Haoyu smiled when he saw Xing Jue's reaction. Then, he cast a sharp gaze at the Valley Master of the Avici Valley.
When he saw Dugu Haoyu's gaze, the Valley Master of the Avici Valley couldn't help but tremble. It was as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, as if doomsday had arrived.
"This Valley Master Yang isn't a member of my Mystical Palace. I have no right to punish him."
"However, the reason I called him here today is to resolve the grudge between you two. Although the Avici Valley has caused some unnecessary losses to the Asura Palace, it's all because of my Mystical Palace."
"The Mystical Palace is willing to compensate the Asura Palace with a ten million pill," Dugu Haoyu glanced at the Valley Master of the Avici Valley, then turned to Xing Jue and said.
"Ten million pill?" After hearing Dugu Haoyu's words, before Xing Jue could react, the Valley Master of the Avici Valley's eyes shone with a golden light.
Even his Avici Valley didn't have such a huge amount of pill. Not to mention ten million, they didn't even have a tenth of it. However, Dugu Haoyu was willing to give ten million pills to the Asura Palace so casually. This showed how terrifying the Mystical Palace's wealth was.
"Hehe, Palace Master Dugu, although Xing Jue really wants to accept this ten million pill, but this ten million pill can't be exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of my brothers. I'm afraid I can't agree to this deal." However, Xing Jue didn't even give it a second thought when it came to such a huge amount of pill. Instead, he shook his head with a faint smile and rejected.
"Eh?"
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the Valley Master of the Avici Valley felt as if he had just climbed out of an abyss, only to be pushed back down again. His entire body turned sluggish, as if he had just received a huge blow.
He could tell from Xing Jue's words that Xing Jue was determined to kill him. He had a deep understanding of the strength Xing Jue had displayed. If the Mystical Palace refused to help him, he would definitely die.
"It's rare that Palace Master Xing Jue is such a loyal person. I, Dugu Haoyu, deeply admire you!"
"However, our Martial Sky Continent is facing the greatest calamity in its history. We do need an expert like Valley Master Yang to protect our Martial Sky Continent." Dugu Haoyu let out a long sigh and said.
"The greatest calamity in its history? What's that? "After hearing Dugu Haoyu's words, Xing Jue was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly asked.
"Now that the calamity is upon us, the people of the Martial Sky Continent should let go of their grudges and fight against the calamity together. Therefore, as long as Palace Master Xing Jue doesn't hold any grudges against the Avici Valley, I can tell you everything," Dugu Haoyu said with a smile.
"Alright, I promise you." Xing Jue went silent for a moment before he agreed.
"Phew ~" After hearing Xing Jue's words, the Avici Valley's Valley Master let out a long sigh of relief. However, his face was covered in cold sweat.
After that, Dugu Haoyu didn't directly tell Xing Jue about the so-called calamity. Instead, he had the Sky Xuan Elders bring the Avici Valley's Valley Master and the others away. Only Xing Jue and Dugu Haoyu remained in the main palace.
At this moment, Dugu Haoyu was sitting beside Xing Jue, blowing on the steam from his teacup. However, he wasn't in a hurry to tell Xing Jue about the calamity.
"Palace Master Dugu, just what is this so-called calamity?" Seeing Dugu Haoyu's appearance, Xing Jue couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Haha, it's a long story. But before that, there's one thing that I need Palace Master Xing Jue to promise me." Dugu Haoyu slowly turned his head and smiled.
"Palace Master Dugu, please speak your mind." Xing Jue was startled at first, then he seemed to have thought of something and said.
"That is to stop the war with the Beast City!" Dugu Haoyu took a sip of the tea in his hand and said with a faint smile.
"This …"
"Palace Master Dugu, there's a reason why I started the war with the Beast City. In fact, the problem doesn't lie with the Asura Palace, but with the Beast City.
As long as the Beast City is willing to … "Actually, Xing Jue had already guessed that Dugu Haoyu would stop the war with the Beast City and the Asura Palace. If there was really a calamity coming to the continent, and even someone like the Avici Valley's Valley Master had to stay behind, then the Asura Palace and the Beast City would have to preserve their strength and fight against the so-called calamity together.
Therefore, the Asura Palace and the Beast City had to conserve their strength, and fight against the so-called calamity together. Furthermore, he didn't want to start this war, but he had to save the Flame Yellow Devil Turtle.
"Hehe, little brat, I know what you want to say."
"You want me to release the Flame Yellow Demon Turtle. That's easy. As long as you return the Ice and Fire Generals of the Beast City, I will return the Flame Yellow Demon Turtle to you."
However, before Xing Jue could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly rang out. A strange laughter suddenly rang out. When Xing Jue turned around, he was shocked to find that the Beast City Lord, the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix, had appeared behind him without him noticing.
There were two figures standing beside the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix. One was a middle-aged woman in a white robe. She had a pretty face, but her hair was snow-white.
It wasn't natural snow-white, but more like a mark left behind by the passage of time. This showed that this woman's age wasn't as simple as her appearance.
But what surprised Xing Jue the most was that the symbol on her robe was that of the Sacred Pill Clan. Furthermore, her strength wasn't any weaker than the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix.
Xing Jue also recognized the other person. He was the current Clan Lord of the Demon Refiner Clan, Yao Yutian.
When he saw the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix and Yao Yutian, Xing Jue also thought of this woman's identity. It was very likely that she was the current Patriarch of the Sacred Pill Clan, the number one alchemist in the Martial Sky Continent, Pill Lady.
At this moment, Xing Jue couldn't help but feel a thousand waves crashing in his heart. Mixed emotions of unease and excitement spun rapidly in his heart.
The leaders of the four overlords of the Towering Sky Region, the highest existences in the entire continent, were all gathered here. This showed that the so-called calamity wasn't just a rumor. Perhaps, something big was really going to happen in the Martial Sky Continent!
