Chapter 172 Nangong Yi

“Can they be more shameless?” Cai Hong felt speechless as soon as he heard the words of these women. Shaking his head, he directly ran away from the site and turned to look for the core disciple again. “They’re disgusting…”

“Senior!” The core disciple was elated as soon as he saw Cai Hong going back in his direction. “I deeply apologize. I was so overwhelmed by you that I didn’t notice the place I pointed my finger at…”

“Just shut up and tell me now,” Cai Hong said, clearly pissed off. “I don’t want anything funny to happen again. Even though His Highness refrained me from killing as much as possible, I can still kill you if you further infuriate me. I am not as lenient as I look.”

“Y-Yes…” Feeling Cai Hong’s oppressive gaze, the core disciple couldn’t help but lower his head down.

“Now, tell me… correctly,” Cai Hong said.

“It’s in that direction, senior,” the core disciple replied, pointing carefully at the place where the hall of the sect master was located. “Moreover, before you go, senior, I’m going to have to tell you that the vice sect master is the wife of the sect master. You’re going to have to get her approval as well if you want the entire sect to submit to you.”

“I don’t need their approval. I am here to subdue them,” Cai Hong said as his eyes flashed with light.

Such a gaze made the core disciple feel fear from the depths of his heart.

“Alright, you may go. Remember what I told you. Don’t try anything funny.”

The core disciple immediately zipped his mouth as he looked in the direction of the sect master. “Dad, mom, I’m sorry. I don’t want to die yet.”

He then disappeared and appeared outside of the sect as he ran away from there.

“Who is it?!”

Upon arriving, Cai Hong did not conceal a bit of his presence, hence the reason why the sect master himself was able to recognize his presence. “I am Cai Hong.”

Hearing the other party speak, the sect master of the Northern Wolves Sect, Nangong Yi, stood up from his lotus position. “Who are you? What are you doing here in my sect?”

Nangong Yi could feel tremendous peril from this young man. Moreover, he could not even see through his cultivation level. If only he could ascertain the other party’s strength, he would have already attacked him right from the get-go.

“I already told you my name. I am Cai Hong, a proud servant. His Highness assigned me a task for the two sects that were left unsubdued.” Cai Hong did not like to beat around the bush and indirectly told Nangong Yi his purpose.

Nangong Yi’s middle-aged face trembled. He wasn’t stupid. A person would not just barge into someone’s sect unnoticed and with unparalleled confidence.

“Sir, may I know why you came to my sect?” Nangong Yi could already understand that he felt cold after hearing Cai Hong’s words. However, he wanted Cai Hong to directly tell him of his purpose for coming to their sect.

“His Highness ordered me to subdue the Northern Wolves Sect and the Dragon Phantom Sect. I encountered your sect disciples first and asked them about your main headquarters. Hence, I came all the way here to the edges of the Third Region.”

“His Highness?” Nangong Yi’s heart grew even colder.

“His Highness is the most powerful being I know. By merely making me acknowledge him as my master, my cultivation realm shot up to becoming a Saint Emperor.”

Nangong Yi’s pupils shrank inconsiderably. “W-What? S-Saint Emperor? That’s impossible! How could someone just casually increase someone else’s cultivation realm?! You were probably deceived by him! That’s practically impossible! I know of the Saint Emperor Realm a bit and that’s simply unattainable with the Third Region’s heaven and earth qi being lacking!”

Cai Hong calmly gazed at him. “Are you accusing His Highness for the increase in my cultivation? Do you know the consequences of accusing His Highness?”

Without even Cai Hong making a move, Nangong Yi’s right arm was suddenly severed from his body.

ARGHH!

Nangong Yi’s eyes turned bloodshot. He then looked at the ever-still Cai Hong. “W-What have you done?”

He suddenly ran out of breath, not because his arm was disarmed but because of the fear that was stemming from his heart.

‘What the? I didn’t even see him make a move!’

“Do you understand now?” Cai Hong casually asked, his gaze at Nangong Yi becoming even sharper. “Do you now understand what it means to throw accusations toward His Highness?”

Nangong Yi could not help but lower his head in defeat. This seemingly young-looking man was too strong for him to handle. Even if his wife were here, they, together, would not be able to defeat him.

Like this man said, he was a Saint Emperor, while Nangong Yi only knew of the cultivation realm above the Saint Realm. The Saint Emperor Realm should be above the so-called Saint King Realm—which they could probably not reach even after several years of training and cultivating.

“Nangong Yi, is that your name?” Cai Hong continued. “Do not try anything funny. Moreover, where’s your wife? Summon her here. A core disciple told me that the vice sect master is your wife and you will need to have her approval before I can entirely subdue the entire sect.”

“A core disciple?” Nangong Yi was shocked. “But no one knew about our relationship—fuck! That kid, where did he go?!”

“You mean?” Cai Hong frowned.

“Only our son knows that we have some sort of relationship with each other! We don’t want to tell others because his mother has always been ashamed of me! Because for her, I am very ugly! He even told us that he would not say anything about us even if he’d die!”

Cai Hong’s face twitched. He did not know that that core disciple was someone of status within the Northern Wolves Sect.

‘So, he’s his son?’

It was somewhat strange.
