Yunxiao considered a moment and said, “If I go down like this and ask them to surrender, they will not entertain me for a certain. Since a fight is inevitable, I should just attack them directly!” He narrowed his eyes and shouted, “Listen up! Aim your chariots at the mountain below and shower it with attacks! Ignore all calls to stop except mine! Blow this guardian array to pieces!”

　　 Bo Tiangong felt his head reel. ‘How could there be someone like this? This is completely robber logic!’

　　 Bam!

　　 The Tigerking he was driving fired a beam of yellow light, which pierced through the air and hit the mountain range down below. A blue barrier suddenly appeared and slightly rippled under the attack, but it blocked the attack and protected the mountain from being hurt.

　　 “Not bad! This guardian array is not a low-grade one. Let’s bombard it together!”

　　 At Yunxiao’s order, more than thirty chariots began to attack wildly, shooting beams of light straight down like a rain of light. It was only a few breaths, and the array began to show signs of failing; its light grew stronger and stronger, and it began to tremble more and more.

　　 A few more breaths later, a furious roar rang out from behind the guardian array.

　　 “How dare you! Stop it right now!”

　　 Soon, three figures could be seen flying up, and a Tigerking chariot suddenly appeared in the air and then flew toward the crowd. Three Martial Kings stood atop the chariot and stared at them furiously, but there was a trace of shock in their eyes at the same time.

　　 “Keep attacking, don’t stop! Circle them at my gesture!” Yunxiao ordered as soon as he saw the sect leader appear.

　　 Under his command, over thirty chariots formed a circle around their opponent’s Tigerking. What made the three Martial Kings even more anxious was that the attack of the enemy chariots had not stopped, and it seemed their guardian array was about to be completely destroyed. The sect leader, Neng Feichen, was shocked and furious, and he soon saw Bo Tiangong standing timidly with a miserable look on the enemy’s chariot, covered in blood. He immediately realized what was happening, and he shouted in panic, “Who are you?”

　　 Yunxiao laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter who we are. What matters is that I’m here to bring you a chance.”

　　 Bam!

　　 Right then, the guardian array finally gave way, breaking into thousands of light dots under several attacks and fading away into the mountain.

　　 “A chance?”

　　 Neng Feichen trembled with rage as he pointed at the dissipating array down below. He felt the blood rush up into his head, and he almost fainted. “Is this the chance you brought me? Shattering Dhyana Sect’s guardian array that hasn’t been broken in thousands of years? If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, I’ll kill you all even at the cost of my own life!”

　　 Although the people surrounding them did not have strong cultivation bases and they were three Martial Kings, they could not withstand the joint attack of more than thirty chariots. Moreover, there was a nine-stars Martial King on their opponent’s chariot. They would have no chance of winning if a fight broke out, so he had prepared for an internecine outcome.

　　 The other two Martial Kings also stared angrily at the people around them. If they were not surrounded by so many chariots, they would have rushed out to kill.

　　 “Haha! Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. Sometimes, you have to destroy first before you can rebuild!” Yunxiao laughed. “When the guardian array is broken, that’s when Dhyana Sect gets a new life. Neng Feichen, I know you are stalling, waiting for the dozens of Martial Lords to return so you can fight me. But, let me tell you, the more people you have, the more casualties you will suffer. Let me be honest with you, the purpose of my coming today is to make Dhyana Sect surrender to Yanwu.”

　　 “The city of Yanwu!” Neng Feichen was taken aback. “How’s this possible! How could there be such a strong force in Yanwu!”

　　 A sneer came over Yunxiao’s face. “Yanwu is just hundreds of miles away from you, and yet you had failed to discover its changes. I really don’t know how your sect could exist for thousands of years. Well, to avoid unnecessary casualties on both sides, how about we just talk this over?”

　　 Neng Feichen looked uncertain. ‘Since he knows I’m stalling, why does he still want to talk it over? Where does his confidence come from?’ He considered for a moment and found that he did not have anything to lose, so he said in a deep voice, “We can talk, but I need an explanation from you regarding my guardian array! Also, although Dhyana Sect is weak, we have existed for thousands of years, and we have never surrendered to anyone. You can’t expect us to surrender to you!”

　　 “Haha!” Yunxiao burst into laughter. With a disdainful look in his eyes, he said, “That is because although your strength is considered strong in the secular world, you are nothing in the eyes of those true super sects, so who would have interest in making you surrender to them? As for this guardian array…As long as we can work it out, I can get you a stronger one.”

　　 “A stronger one? Hmph! What an ignorant boy! A guardian array is the strongest art among all arrays, which can take the blessing of heaven and earth while utilizing the advantages of the mountains and lands. It is not something that you can construct at will!”

　　 “Oh, really? Tell me, which one is stronger, your guardian array or my energy-absorbing array?”

　　 “Energy-absorbing array? You…It was you who drained the Primordial Qi of Qiyun Mountains!” Neng Feichen was shocked, and the other two Martial Kings also looked horrified. The value of an array that could drain Primordial Qi was far greater than their guardian array. For a moment, their faces grew dark and their eyes flickered.

　　 Yunxiao smiled and said, “Besides, even if I don’t force you to surrender and take my leave now, the Primordial Qi in your sect will be completely drained sooner or later. How are you going to cultivate when that happens? How is your sect going to continue its existence? Unless you can bring someone and wipe out the whole Yanwu. But, do you even have the strength?”

　　 Neng Feichen and the other two Martial Kings widened their eyes, aghast. ‘He’s right. Even if they retreat now, what about the Primordial Qi? Do we really have to relocate our sect?’

　　 Generally, all the slightly better spirit mountains and rivers had long been occupied. The Primordial Qi in Qiyun Mountains was very weak to begin with, and just like what Yunxiao said, the reason Dhyana Sect could exist for thousands of years was only because of its meager strength and the weak Primordial Qi here, which did not attract the interest of anyone. They could naturally live high on the hog in the secular world with their strength, but if they were to fight over Primordial Qi with those major sects, it was no different from digging their own graves.

　　 The three men were completely dumbfounded. Unless they could destroy Yanwu, they would not be able to get their Primordial Qi back. But, just the strength the city showed them here was already not something they could deal with, and they did not know how much more forces the city had.

　　 A confident look flashed in Yunxiao’s eyes as he chuckled and said, “Well, I’ll make you an offer. Dhyana Sect can still retain its independence, and you will merely attach to Yanwu and listen to my orders. I can provide you a place with Primordial Qi ten times richer than here, and an endless supply of cultivation resources. What do you think of this offer?”

　　 That not only stunned Neng Feichen and the other two Martial Kings, but also all the eight hundred warriors on the chariots. A place with Primordial Qi ten times richer than here and an endless supply of cultivation resources? It was an extremely generous offer that no one could refuse! They all wondered how deep his reserves were and how strong the backer behind Yanwu was, that allowed him to come out with such an offer?

　　 Neng Feichen asked dubiously, “If Yanwu has such strength, it is already a super sect. Why should you recruit us then?”

　　 Yunxiao narrowed his eyes and smiled. “There is a process for everything. It is only a matter of time before Yanwu becomes a first-class super sect. But right now, we are still very weak.”

　　Neng Feichen found it difficult to make a decision. If he listened to Yunxiao, there seemed to be a bright future. But if he refused… ‘Fu*k! Can I refuse? If I don’t listen to him, what should I do when the Primordial Qi is exhausted?’ He had a feeling that he was in a dead-end. He moved his lips slightly and began to discuss with the other two Martial Kings.

　　 Their faces flickered, and they could not make up their minds for a long time

　　 Yunxiao sat patiently on his Tigerking with a confident smile, as if the victory was already in his hand. In fact, it was very simple; they would have to agree or they would run out of Primordial Qi. So how could he not have the victory in his hand? It was just because it happened so suddenly that not only Dhyana Sect, but even the eight hundred warriors had a hard time accepting it. They could not believe that a sect could be subdued so easily.

　　 After discussing for some time, Neng Feichen and the other two Martial Kings concluded that they had no other choice. The sect leader’s face was unsightly as he asked, “How can you guarantee that you will provide us what you just said?”

　　 Yunxiao got up from his chair and walked to the front of the chariot, then put his hands on the rail. His face grew serious as he said, “Firstly, I will provide you a place with Primordial Qi ten times richer than Qiyun Mountains. Secondly, Dhyana Sect can retain its independence, and you just have to listen to my orders. And lastly, I will provide an endless supply of cultivation resources for all your disciples, as long as they do not violate Yanwu’s rules and laws. If I can’t do these three things, you can leave at any time!”

　　 Neng Feichen paused a moment and then exchanged a look with the other two Martial Kings. They all had a bitter look while he sighed and said, “Fine, I agree to surrender!”

　　 “Excellent!”

　　 Although Yunxiao had expected it, he was still overjoyed when it really happened. “Dhyana Sect can retain its independence, but you need a code name in Yanwu. I’ll call you Merak. Neng Feichen, you will be the leader of Merak.”

　　 Suddenly, Yunxiao moved his lips slightly, sending a voice transmission directly into Neng Feichen’s ear. “Sect Leader Neng, I think you must have stayed in the realm of Martial Kings for at least fifty years. Although you are a nine-stars Martial King now, you probably won’t have the chance to break through to the next realm in this life. Do you know how many years you still have left in your life, if you can’t step into the realm of Martial Grandmasters? However, as long as you truly submit to me, I’ll help you become a Martial Grandmaster in less than a month, which will prolong your lifespan by dozens of years and give you the opportunity to advance to a higher level!”

　　 “What!” Neng Feichen cried out, and his body trembled violently. He realized that he had lost his composure, but he still could not contain his emotion and asked in a trembling voice, “Is… that for real?”
