Chapter 267 The Punishment

Multiple small worlds, when gathered together and integrated by a supreme powerhouse, can be called a "District."

The unification and integration of numerous Districts is known as a "Realm."

It's not as though all the surrounding void black markets were unified, excluding their own.

The chaotic situation of hostile and guarded Districts accounted for more than seventy percent of the surrounding void black markets.

The remaining less than thirty percent of void black markets were in a state of complete integration by a supreme powerhouse.

The void black market where Xianyang District is located falls into this category.

All surrounding Districts were completely integrated by one supreme powerhouse.

This was a super expert who had broken through the Tribulation stage thousands of years before Yinchuan.

By now, the one in Xianyang Realm was rumored to have already reached the third level of the Tribulation stage.

Although this level of strength would not make Yinchuan utterly incapable of resisting if he were to face them, Yinchuan would have no choice but to be defeated and flee if he encountered them.

However, if it truly came down to directly killing Yinchuan, he did not fear it.

Even if their cultivation had reached the third level of the Tribulation stage, if they were truly intent on taking Yinchuan's life, Yinchuan was confident he could inflict unimaginable injuries upon them.

"I wonder if those who escaped have any connection to the one in Xianyang Realm."

Upon thinking of this, Yinchuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

But the next moment, his eyes once again blazed with killing intent, and his aura became incredibly terrifying and oppressive.

"Regardless, based on their past actions, I will kill them. It's best if this matter has nothing to do with the one in Xianyang Realm, but if it does!"

"Even if the one in Xianyang Realm tries to protect them, I will still kill them!"

Yinchuan was very clear about his own strength.

While he might not consider himself a match for someone at the third level of the Tribulation stage, that did not mean those at the peak of the Dao Integration stage could do anything in front of him.

With this thought, Yinchuan lost the desire to continue cultivating.

He had finally obtained information about the individuals who had once besieged him, so how could he possibly let this opportunity slip away? If he waited too long, they might disappear to who knows where.

With this thought, Yinchuan looked at Chen Ang before him, who was already trembling uncontrollably from the aura Yinchuan had inadvertently exuded.

"I will be away for a while, heading to the void black market where Xianyang Realm is located. Remember to tell everyone else that everything will proceed as usual."

"Yes, Lord Yinchuan," Chen Ang replied, his voice trembling.

At that moment, Yinchuan vanished instantly from the heavenly dao space of Yinzong Small World.

As for Yinchuan, who had already left Yinzong Small World.

He did not head directly to the void black market where Xianyang Realm was located.

His first destination for this excursion was still the void black market in his own Yinzong District.

After decades of cultivation, many of his cultivation resources, such as elixirs and heavenly treasures, were almost depleted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yinchuan intended to make a trip to the void black market to make some purchases and to visit the Penguin Medicine Pavilion to order some special elixirs that could aid his cultivation.

A few days later, Yinchuan's figure arrived at the void black market.

This time, Yinchuan's appearance did not cause much panic.

In the void black market, countless pairs of reverent eyes watched Yinchuan.

Among these gazes, aside from some wandering cultivators with no fixed abode,

a considerable portion were actually cultivators from other Districts that had already surrendered to Yinzong District.

"Lord Yinchuan graces the void black market with his presence. Would you care to rest at our Exquisite Artifact Pavilion?"

In the void black market, many managers who sensed Yinchuan's arrival came out. The manager of Exquisite Artifact Pavilion, Wu Anji, was at the forefront, a smile gracing his lips.

But the next moment, Wu Anji's expression shifted slightly.

Yinchuan's indifferent gaze fell upon him, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Immediately after, a terrifying pressure swept out from Yinchuan's body.

Under this terrifying oppressive force.

Not only Wu Anji, but even the managers of other shops who were slightly behind him and had not yet had time to speak, their faces changed dramatically.

Fortunately, this terrifying pressure seemed to only target Wu Anji and did not concern the other shop managers.

Therefore, those shop managers quickly halted their steps, their faces filled with terror as they frantically retreated. After all, with their Dao Integration stage cultivation, being targeted by a Tribulation stage expert was not a good thing.

But Wu Anji was not so lucky. Under Yinchuan's lock of aura.

Wu Anji, who normally wore a smile and appeared incredibly astute, was now completely overtaken by fear.

This was genuine, heartfelt terror.

Following that, Yinchuan slightly raised his hand and flicked his finger.

This was merely a casual strike, but for Wu Anji, it felt like a brush with death.

The next moment.

"Bang!"

A wave of energy surged, and a fierce attack exploded upon Wu Anji.

The attack came as quickly as it went.

When everyone's gaze shifted back, they only saw Wu Anji, weak and on the verge of death, his body already a bloody mess.

Upon witnessing this, the surrounding void black market cultivators gasped in shock.

"Hiss, what's going on with Manager Wu of Exquisite Artifact Pavilion? He offended Lord Yinchuan? He was dealt such a heavy blow the moment he arrived?"

"With injuries like these, without an immense price and hundreds of years of meticulous healing, he likely won't recover."

Ignoring the hushed whispers and the various glances around him.

Yinchuan's expression was indifferent. His eyes continued to gaze at the incredibly weak Wu Anji lying on the ground.

His voice, calm and measured, rang out.

"I know you're not dead yet. Get up. Do you have anything to say about today's punishment?"

As expected, the blood-soaked Wu Anji, under Yinchuan's words, tremblingly and with great difficulty managed to get up.

Even at this moment, his eyes were filled with terror.

He knew what Yinchuan was referring to.

It was naturally about how he had previously introduced the Penguin Medicine Pavilion to Yinchuan, concealing many crucial pieces of information about it, which led to Yinchuan being tricked.

After such a long time, even a fool could understand the problem.

Originally, if Wu Anji hadn't come forward, it would have been fine. But now that he had, and wanted to act as if nothing had happened and curry favor with Yinchuan, Yinchuan could not overlook the past.

"Lord Yinchuan's punishment, I have nothing to say."

Wu Anji trembled all over. In the past, he had mostly only encountered Tribulation stage experts from the headquarters of his Exquisite Artifact Pavilion. Those experts, while proud and sometimes eccentric, would not treat them in such a manner.

Thus, Wu Anji had greatly underestimated the danger posed by a Tribulation stage cultivator.

Now, having personally experienced its terror.

He finally understood how terrifying it was to be targeted by a Tribulation stage cultivator.

"Scram."

Yinchuan said emotionlessly.

Hearing this, disregarding the gloating looks from the surroundings, Wu Anji, without caring about his injuries, stumbled and fled directly.

Not long after, the formerly dignified Manager Wu of Exquisite Artifact Pavilion, under the watchful eyes of everyone, disappeared in utter disarray.
