Chapter 48: Ch 48: Suppression
"Ignorant Brat!! How dare you injure the young master!"
Just as the palm attack of the old man landed, a cloud of dust rose around the area. The very next second, a figure shot out from the smoke.
But the result was something no one present expected. Once the others saw the figure that had been thrown out of the smoke, they were shocked to their core. The figure that shot out was not the figure of the expected Yang Kai, but of the old guard that had just attacked him.
What was even more unexpected was that the old man's complexions looked quite pale, indicating that the old man was injured.
When the dust settled, everyone saw a figure standing in front of Yang Kai. The figure stood firm and strong, as if nothing could sway the figure. Meanwhile, Yang Kai also looked at the figure in front of him with an unsurprised expression. He already knew that his brother would not let anything happen to him.
The same however could not be said about the others. When they saw Yang Feng in front of Yang Kai, while just a second before the attack landed he was standing at the enterance of his cabin, they felt their mind go blank for a moment.
The first one to recover was the other guard, who quickly approached the guard that was thrown out of the smoke and checked his situation, all the while not taking his eyes of Yang Feng.
It was at this moment that the guard noticed something that he and the others have overlooked. They were not able to see through Yang Feng's cultivation.
At first they thought that the boy had some kind of artifact that could hide his cultivation level, so they didn't pay it much attention. But now as the guard looked carefully, he felt that he was looking into an endless abyss.
This terrified him, according to the information they had, the boy was only 16-17 years old and already had strength of at least 6th stage immortal ascension realm.
He concluded this because he himself was at the 5th stage immortal ascension realm. The reason that he was not able to accurately tell Yang Feng's cultivation was because of the enormous amount of Qi in his body, his Qi's purity, it's chaotic attribute and even because of his body.
Although he was not able to see through Yang Feng, he knew that the person in front of him was not someone he could beat alone, 'I would need help of 1 or 2 people.'
Although the guards knew that Yang Feng was strong, but he had still underestimated him too much. The other guard, that had been hit by Yang Feng, however knew better.
Earlier when Yang Feng had countered his palm strike, the old man only felt a brute force that had broken through his attack and struck him in the chest. Which means that the attack Yang Feng used only utilized his body strength, not his Qi. So the old man knew that even if there were tens of him, he would still lose badly.
"You....what is your cultivation.", amidst the silence that had fell in the surroundings, sounded a slightly trembling voice. Yang Feng looked towards the source of the voice and saw Bai Yunfeng looking at him with a serious face, but the look in his eyes betrayed his shock, nervousness and fear along with the slight shaking of his legs.
Yang Feng didn't answer and looked around himself. During the time Yang Kai was battling Bai Yunfeng, nearly all the foreign sects people had gathered around and we're watching what was to unfold. He also felt two gazes on him, one that he recognized as Meng Wu Ya's and the other that held him with intrigue, surprise and curiousity, which Yang Feng knew was that of the current sect master of High Heaven Pavilion, Ling Tai Xu, even if he had not met the man himself.
Yang Feng looked at all the people gathered and then shifted his focus back to the two old guards. When he did, the two old man put up their guard for any possible attack by him.
Yang Feng then focused slightly and used the ability he gained by opening his 'Crown Chakra'. Although he hadn't used the ability before, he had already found out what it was.
As soon as he used that ability, everyone around except for Yang Kai, Dong Qing Han, The two Tempest Guards and the members of the High Heaven Pavilion that had not betrayed the sect, felt a pressure placed on their body and soul.
The pressure was like a supreme will that no one could defy .No matter who it was or whatever their cultivation was, they were all forced into a kneeling position. The lower the Cultivation of the person, the worst their resistance to this pressure was.
Anyone below True Element Realm were instantly pressed against the ground, while those on the True Element Realm could barely hold themselves above the ground with the support of their hands. As for the 5-6 people that were in the Immortal Ascension Realm, they were all forced into kneeling position.
Everyone's face twisted between embarrassment, confusion, and most of all fear, overwhelming fear. Everyone below Immortal Ascension Realm were not able to tell what exactly was happening, but the 5-6 Immortal Ascension Realm old people knew the full force of this ability.
They felt a strong burden on their souls and felt that their thinking speed slowed down. On the other hand they felt a strong force pressing down on their bodies, on their blood, which had the same effect on their body as it did on their souls.
As a whole, they felt that the person in front of them was someone who could dictate their lives and if they tried to oppose him, he will destroy them. For he was the Supreme, the King, the Conqueror who bowed to no one.
As Yang Feng saw the unfolding scene, he confirmed his earlier speculation about this ability of his. The ability was a combination of his Will, Spiritual energy, and Blood/Bloodline energy.
In general, when this ability is used, both his Spiritual energy and Blood energy combine with his Willpower and presses down on people he wants, in a domain like form with him as the center. He idly noted that the ability was similar to the 'Conqueror's Haki', so he decided to call it as such.
But the only disadvantage or should he say the limit of this ability is that he has to have a stronger Soul cultivation or (Bloodline) Body cultivation than the one the ability is being used on. This limit however was not much of a concern for Yang Feng as he can continue to raise his Body and Soul cultivation, beyond his realm.
Looking at all the people affected by his ability while ignoring the looks of awe directed towards him by the people of his sect and his cousin, he said, "This is the last time I will be saying this so you all better listen carefully, lest you are prepared for the consequences." Seeing that no one said anything he continued in a cold voice.
"You all have (shamelessly) long overstayed your deadlines. Now before the sun goes down, I want all of you to leave the Three Factions area. And believe me that the consequences of ignoring my warning would be disastrous."
When he reached the end of his short speech, he increased the power of the ability to the point that even the Immortal Ascension Realm people were having trouble, keeping themselves from being pressed against the ground, just to make his point. To show his dominance over them.
After decreeing his ultimatum, he took back his 'Conqueror's Haki' letting everyone under it's affect to finally let out a breath of relief. He then ignored everyone in his surroundings and indicated Yang Kai to follow him back into his cabin.
When the two were again sitting down inside his cabin, Yang Feng took out two books from his inventory and gave them to Yang Kai. As Yang Kai read the titles of the books he was surprised and looked at Yang Feng questioningly.
"These two techniques were something I had gained inside the inheritance cave. They are of no use to me so I think that you should use them as they can be useful for you." Yang Kai looked through the books and saw that both were cultivation techniques.
"The first one is called, 'Proud Golden Body - Tempered Body Record' it is a Body Cultivation Technique, with this your body will be much more stronger than the people of the same realm."
Yang Kai remembered that earlier Yang Feng had seemed to used just his body's brute strength to push back the old guard that was about to attack him. Curious, he asked, "did you also cultivate this?". Yang Feng understood that he was asking this out of curiosity so he replied, "No, I cultivate another technique that is suitable for my physique."
Yang Kai nodded. Yang Feng then indicated towards the other book and stated, "this book is a Qi cultivation technique called 'True Yang Secret Arts'. It allows the user to cultivate pure Yang Qi and also allows the user to condense his Qi into drops of super condensed Qi, that can be used for many purposes. But you have to find out about those uses by yourself."
After that he gave Yang Kai the things he had gained from the cave where the Soul Warming Lotus was. As he told Yang Kai about the origin of these things, to say he was shocked would be an understatement.
When Yang Kai asked him what should he do with this stuff, His only reply was, "deal with it however you want."
After some more talking Yang Kai took his leave. For the next few hours after Yang Kai had left, Yang Feng stayed inside his cabin, meditating.
Although he was calm and serene, the opposite could be said about the situation in the three factions. After Yang Feng's warning, none of the foreign factions wanted to stay here, lest they anger him.
A few were still unconvinced, but as they now didn't have the advantage in numbers, they were pressured by the three factions into leaving. After this no one complained as they quickly left.
For the next five days, Yang Feng remained inside his cabin cultivating, suddenly he lifted his head and looked towards a particular direction. Letting out a sigh, he went outside his cabin and flew away.
In a few minutes he landed on the ground and Infront of him was a desolute canyon that extended for miles. The canyon seems to be releasing a dark, sinister aura.
Near the canyon he saw three people standing next to each other. Two of the people were who he was well acquainted with. These two were Yang Kai and Meng Wu Ya, with the third person being an old man with white hair and a white long beard, wearing a similar set of robes as the sect elders, this was the current sect master of the High Heaven Pavilion, Ling Tai Xu.
When he reached them, he greeted both Meng Wu Ya and Yang Kai normally. Then he looked towards the old man and greeted him while cupping his fists, "Desciple Yang Feng greets the Sect Master."
Surprise flashed across Ling Tai Xu's eyes. He hadn't appeared in the sect for a long time and also didn't contact anyone but Meng Wu Ya and recently Yang Kai, in the sect. So it was surprising that Yang Feng knew who he was after just meeting him for the first time.
"Hoh... How do you about me?" He asked curiously. Yang Feng just smiled and replied, "I already knew about how sect master looked like from the elders, also I just had a hunch after observing your temperament, another indicator was your acquaintance with both my brother and Treasurer Meng."
The first two indicators were reasonable, but when Ling Tai Xu heard the third reason, he was a little confused. "What do you mean that my acquaintance gave me away?" He asked with same curiosity mixed with a little confusion.
"Well, if we talk about Treasurer Meng. Let's just say that I know a lot about him, including a few of his secrets and I know that he doesn't interact with ordinary people. As for my brother.... I had already guessed that you and our father had some kind of connection with how he mentioned you on a few occasions, albeit not revealing your identity clearly."
Yang Feng was purely bullsh*ting right now, as he could not just tell the truth that he knew of him from his previous life's memory. Also the thing he said about Yang Ying Feng talking about him was true.
As Ling Tai Xu heard him talking about his father mentioning him, he gained a look that indecated he was reminiscing something. But Yang Feng continued, "Not to mention how you helped me when we entered the sect and the fact that you have been taking note of our progress from afar for sometime now."
This statement brought him out of his reminiscing, looking at him with a look that spoke volumes of his shock. Yang Kai on the other hand was also surprised at the last statement and looked towards Ling Tai Xu with respect. The only one not effected was Meng Wu Ya.
"Anyways brat, brother Ling called you here for something else." Said Meng Wu Ya, wanting to finish the task quickly. This brought the two back from their own thoughts as they focused on the task on hand.
