Chapter 93 - 93: Qjngzhou Immortal Alliance?
Qingzhou, provincial capital
Bai Family
While the Martial Suppression Division troops were apprehending the entire Bai Family, wisps of blue energy flew out from deep within the Bai Family.
This was the water-element technique of cultivators!
The blue spiritual energy swirled before transforming into three cultivators wearing blue robes.
Levels: IV26, IV26, IV27
There was no doubt that all three of them were from the Bai Family.
“Zhu Shouwu, is the Martial Suppression Division out of their minds?”
Zhu Shouwu’s identity was known to anyone with a bit of influence in Qingzhou, and as high-ranking members of the Bai Family, they were well aware of it.
Bai Junyi furrowed his brow, extremely displeased with the unfolding situation.
Unfortunately, Zhu Shouwu completely ignored their concerns.
Su Yang had already informed him before coming that he didn’t need to worry about any matters related to strength; his only responsibility was to capture people.
Capture everyone who needed to be captured!
Before the three of them could react, three sword intents condensed out of thin air and instantly pierced through their dantians.
Cultivators still needed dantians to store their spiritual energy.
With Su Yang’s current strength, dealing with IV26 and IV27 cultivators was a piece of cake; a simple strike could take them down.
Their dantians were shattered, and the three of them plummeted from the sky.
They crashed to the ground in a sorry state, with one of them landing face-first.
The grand entrance they had hoped for had turned into a humiliating scene.
No more acting all high and mighty or mysterious.
When your strength is insufficient, you’ll kneel!
As the three cultivators fell from the sky, three Martial Suppression Division soldiers quickly moved in and restrained them without any courtesy.
The three soldiers were in high spirits, flying in the sky; they were at least masters. Normally, they wouldn’t have had the chance to lay hands on people like this. But now that these three individuals had their dantians shattered and were left powerless, they could do as they pleased.
Bai Junyi and the others were left dumbfounded.
However, as the soldiers treated them like prisoners, their anger flared up instantly. “You dare to court death!”
The Martial Suppression Division soldiers escorting them stopped in their tracks.
They had long harbored resentment towards the Bai Family.
Damn it, the commoners couldn’t even have a decent meal every day, and the
Bai Family intercepted the grain brought from other provinces. Because of the Bai Family’s formidable strength, they could do as they pleased. Even their superior, Zhu Shouwu, couldn’t control them.
You see, everyone had relatives, especially in this era, where many were part of clans and family structures.
The famine in Qingzhou affected too many people. Even though they were working in the Martial Suppression Division, they were still affected.
Yue Hefeng’s face flashed with sternness. Given that these guys would soon starve to death, could he tolerate this?
He slapped Bai Junyi across the face without hesitation. “Dare to court death? I don’t know if you’re courting death, but you’re done for!”
After the slap, Yue Hefeng continued to escort them. If they struggled, they would receive a series of iron-fisted blows.
He might have acted like a scoundrel, but he didn’t care. He had no reason to be polite to people who regarded human lives as worthless.
As the three were apprehended, the Martial Suppression Division’s operation continued.
With Zhu Shouwu leading the way, everything went smoothly.
Su Yang was also casually strolling along. He had a Thunderstripe Deer by his side and Gu Xiu following him.
This appearance made it seem like a scion of some immortal family was casually walking among mortals.
Amidst the chaos and flames, he remained calm, his clothes unsullied, completely unfazed by the deafening battle cries that didn’t disturb him in the slightest.
Step by step, they advanced into the depths of the Bai Family. Whenever he spotted anyone flying in the sky, they would crash to the ground like they’d been struck by lightning, courtesy of Su Yang’s sword intent.
In reality, they had their dantians shattered by Su Yang’s sword intent in an instant.
The Bai Family’s high-ranking members who fell to the ground were immediately escorted away by the Martial Suppression Division soldiers.
Amidst such chaos, the hidden patriarch of the Bai Family also appeared instantly.
Another person appeared alongside him, seeming to have some special status.
Level: IV29, IV29
Level 30 is the limit of the Heaven-Transforming Realm; breaking through to IV31 is either Martial Saint or the early stage of Golden Core.
The strength of these two individuals is considered formidable within the Heaven-Transforming Realm.
He had no qualms about spectatinz events like this.
“Wait a moment, Senior Jixing. This matter will be resolved quickly,” Bai Daochuan said with a stern expression, wondering how the Martial Suppression Division dared to take such actions.
In fact, this matter was indeed quickly resolved.
Because in the next moment, the fate of these two was no different from that of the Bai Family’s high-ranking members who had appeared earlier.
Their dantians were instantly shattered by Su Yang, and their spiritual energy vanished in an instant, returning to the heavens and earth.
The two of them also fell from mid-air and landed on the Bai Family’s blue stone tiles with a thud, making a dull sound.
Bai Daochuan was dumbfounded.
Jixing was equally stunned.
Their dantians… shattered?
Feeling the rapid loss of their internal spiritual energy, they had no choice but to accept this fact.
But how could they accept it?
“No!” Jixing shouted in a frenzy, looking at Su Yang as if he had gone mad. “I am an elder of the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance! You dare to shatter my dantian? You’re doomed!”
“The Qingzhou Immortal Alliance?”
“Can you tell me where the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance is?”
Su Yang keenly sensed a clue and realized that this person was not from the Bai Family.
However, this so-called Qingzhou Immortal Alliance clearly appeared to be comprised of unorthodox cultivators.
Given the current state of Qingzhou, what else could they be if not unorthodox cultivators?
Jixing frowned. The person before him didn’t seem afraid, but he probably didn’t know that a Golden Core stage cultivator was about to appear in their Immortal Alliance. Besides, they had the backing of the Supreme Immortal Sect.
Regardless of who this person was, he was in deep trouble!
“Hahaha, where is it? Do you still want to charge in?” Su Yang chuckled.
“Just wait; someone will come looking for you,” Jixing replied. He couldn’t reveal the location of the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance.
Jixing didn’t say much more. Regardless of Su Yang’s intentions, he couldn’t disclose the location of the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance.
After all, it was possible to repair shattered dantians, so he still had a chance.
But betraying the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance would leave him with no chance at all.
Seeing that the other party wasn’t talking anymore, Su Yang lost interest as well.
Anyway, he was an unorthodox cultivator, so it didn’t matter if he had been inadvertently harmed.
Su Yang waved his hand to have the Martial Suppression Division soldiers take them away.
Immortal?
These were just cultivators who had recently stepped onto the path of immortality; they couldn’t be considered true immortals.
They could still starve to death.
Weren’t they supposed to be high above, looking down on the mortal realm?
Weren’t they supposed to consider human lives as insignificant?
Su Yang was curious to see whether cultivators and unorthodox cultivators could starve to death!
Su Yang had dealt with the top combatants of the Bai Family all at once.
If the Martial Suppression Division couldn’t handle the Bai Family under these circumstances, they would truly be worthless.
Fortunately, the Martial Suppression Division didn’t disappoint Su Yang.
The events at the Bai Family quickly spread throughout Qingzhou City.
For a while, the people of Qingzhou City cheered.
In Qingzhou, the Bai Family had been the dominant power, and even without the incident of hoarding official grain, they were not regarded as good people.
At the same time, the entire Qingzhou Martial Suppression Division was in action, not just in the provincial capital.
Numerous members of the Grandmaster Realm from the Martial Suppression Division were dispatched to the thirteen counties under Qingzhou’s jurisdiction.
With Grandmaster Realm experts intervening, there was no doubt that they could suppress those who had been corrupting and profiteering in these counties.
Now, all that was needed was patience.
The grain found at the Bai Family’s residence was also rapidly transported to various locations under a well-organized plan.
For the entire Qingzhou, it was still not enough.
However, Xia Xuan had long been planting a large amount of grain on the borders of Qingzhou with neighboring provinces.
In such a world, there were various methods to accelerate the growth of crops.
According to Xia Xuan, the shipments of grain were almost ready, and the wave of grain collected from the Bai Family would help fill the gap during this period.
As long as the land was fertile, accelerating the ripening of grain was a manageable task, albeit at some cost.
The reason they hadn’t accelerated grain ripening in Qingzhou was that the land there had problems; it lacked vitality, making it impossible to cultivate crops, let alone accelerate their growth..
