Chapter 1377: The Masters Power Transcends Heaven

"The scale of today's gathering is truly unprecedented in my lifetime!"

"I wonder which great power has arrived. This old man has truly seen something extraordinary today..."

"To have the privilege of witnessing the presence of so many esteemed seniors, this life has not been in vain!"

"We must be ten thousand times more cautious, not a single misstep can be allowed..."

...

The various powerful figures around exchanged silent glances, the atmosphere growing increasingly tense. Expressions of shock and unease spread across the faces of the crowd.

In such an environment, Chen Cangyun's mood also grew more anxious. The composure he once had as a Martial King had completely vanished. It took all his courage just to sneak a glance at his surroundings.

But this single glance only deepened his fear!

Martial Kings of the state lord level were as common as cabbages scattered under an old locust tree. The once lofty figures who stood high above now couldn't even enter the main street.

This sight left Chen Cangyun utterly stunned.

As he quietly looked further ahead, the densely packed figures exuded increasingly profound and unfathomable auras. The deeper he looked, the more his spiritual sense was overwhelmed...

What kind of supreme beings must be at the front to possess such terrifying presence?

Martial Ancestors...

Martial Saints?

Or perhaps... Martial Emperors?!

These legendary, terrifying figures had all gathered in Qinghe Town. If they were truly here for Senior Yi Feng, what kind of unimaginable background must he have?

What level of cultivation does Senior Yi Feng possess?!

After just a few moments of speculation, Chen Cangyun felt as though he could no longer breathe.

At that moment.

The Lord of Nan Zhou hurriedly stepped out from the crowd, glancing around before rushing straight toward Chen Cangyun!

Startled, Chen Cangyun quickly bowed in greeting, his face filled with panic.

"Greetings, Lord of the State!"

This was the ruler of the entire Nan Zhou region. Chen Cangyun was merely the lord of Ye City, a small corner of Nan Zhou, and had never even had the privilege of meeting such a figure. Facing him directly now, the pressure felt like a mountain pressing down on him.

But as soon as he spoke.

Countless spiritual senses from the front quietly extended, like layers of clouds carrying a storm, pressing down with such force that it made one's heart tremble. The Lord of Nan Zhou waved his hands repeatedly, even more nervous than Chen Cangyun!

"Don't speak carelessly, don't speak carelessly! I am but a minor state lord, how could I possibly deserve the title of 'Lord'!"

After hurriedly distancing himself, the Lord of Nan Zhou quickly pulled Chen Cangyun forward, cautiously making his way through the crowd and whispering urgent instructions.

"Today, great powers have gathered here. You must be extremely careful with your words later!"

Chen Cangyun was deeply shaken, nodding repeatedly with even greater reverence.

As they walked down the street, the auras around them grew increasingly formidable. Chen Cangyun's heart pounded with fear, not even daring to sneak a glance to the side. He followed obediently, like a clueless youth.

When they finally reached a spot a few feet away from the thatched cottage.

Several terrifying figures came into view, their bodies shrouded in an unfathomable, profound aura. Their faces were impossible to discern, and just their presence alone was enough to instill overwhelming fear.

What kind of terrifying cultivation level was this?

Such powerful beings were akin to gods.

The leader was especially fearsome. With just a casual glance, it felt as though ten thousand pounds of weight had been pressed onto their shoulders. Trembling, they bowed deeply, showing the utmost respect.

"Greetings, my lord..."

Even though they didn't know the identity of this figure, they weren't completely clueless. If anyone today deserved such a title, it was undoubtedly this person.

Facing a god-like existence, Chen Cangyun bowed his head in the most humble manner, holding his breath without even realizing it.

After a few moments of silence.

A calm voice finally spoke.

"I am the Lord of Planet Hai. Today, I am accompanying a great figure to visit a revered master. I will ask you a few questions shortly, and you must answer truthfully."

The Lord of the Planet?

Could this be the ruler of the very planet they lived on?!

As the calm voice fell, the two were struck with such shock that their pupils dilated. The mere thought of such a possibility made their legs go weak, and they collapsed to the ground.

Chen Cangyun could never have imagined that the ruler of their entire planet was standing right before him!

Instantly.

The two kneeling figures hurriedly responded, their voices trembling uncontrollably.

"Y-yes, my lord! W-we will answer truthfully!"

The Lord of Planet Hai nodded slightly.

"Rise and speak."

His gentle voice seemed to carry an unfathomable Dao charm, as though his words themselves held the power of law. The two men's minds instantly calmed, and an invisible force gently lifted them to their feet.

Such divine power was beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators!

"You are the city lord in charge of Qinghe Town? Do you know how long the revered master in this thatched cottage has been living here in seclusion?"

Chen Cangyun was still in awe of the lord's terrifying presence when he heard this question. His heart clenched, and he froze in place.

The revered master in the thatched cottage?

He had visited this place a few times, and aside from Senior Yi Feng, there was no one else here.

Could it be...?

The revered master that the Lord of Planet Hai was referring to was actually... Mr. Yi?

How could that be possible?!

As the shocking truth aligned with his earlier speculation, Chen Cangyun's entire body trembled. He raised his head abruptly, only to meet the gazes of the Lord of Planet Hai and the others. Their combined stares shook him to his core!

The overwhelming pressure left no room for hesitation!

"My lord!"

"I am indeed the lord of Ye City. As for Mr. Yi... I only know that he has been living here in seclusion, but he is not a native of Qinghe Town. I do not know how long he has been here."

His words were filled with unease, and Chen Cangyun's body nearly pressed itself into the ground in humility.

The Lord of Planet Hai nodded slightly.

"Very well."

"A figure like Senior Yi is beyond your understanding. Pass down the order: no one is to disturb the peace of this place."

It really was Mr. Yi!

With just those few words, cold sweat poured down Chen Cangyun's back. He was utterly shaken, not daring to lift his head again.

The stars themselves seemed to descend.

The Lord of Planet Hai had come in person.

The figure he was accompanying with such reverence and solemnity was akin to a god. And all of this... was to pay respects to Mr. Yi?

Mr. Yi possessed power that transcended the heavens!

Shock.

Complete and utter shock!

The tremors in Chen Cangyun's heart continued to spread, and he feared he would never recover from this.

He had once thought that Mr. Yi's cultivation might be at the Martial Emperor level or higher. To have such a figure living in seclusion in a small town was already an incredible notion, and he had considered his own speculation to be bold enough.

But never in his wildest dreams...

Could he have imagined that the truth was a thousand times more terrifying than his guesses? His self-important perspective didn't even come close to understanding a fraction of Mr. Yi's true power!

Martial Emperor?

Hah...

In the eyes of these great figures before him, what was a mere Martial Emperor? Such a childish notion now seemed laughable...

As he vaguely grasped the truth.

All his previous reverence, as well as his shame and regret, came rushing back with a thousandfold intensity, leaving him breathless.

In just a few moments.

His back was drenched in cold sweat, his entire being in a state of shock. After a few more moments of trembling and bowing, he quickly retreated to the side, no longer daring to stand near the entrance of the thatched cottage.

In today's gathering.

Chen Cangyun was insignificant, nothing more than a minor character. But within Qinghe Town, he was at least a peak Martial King, a figure at the pinnacle of strength and insight.

If even he was so deeply shaken, the ordinary townsfolk were even more overwhelmed.

As they watched the stars descend and countless powerful figures in resplendent robes appear, the townsfolk, though not fully understanding, gasped in awe. Soon, the entire town was abuzz with excitement, gazing from afar.

The town mayor and the elder clan leader hurried over, their eyelids twitching uncontrollably at the sight!
