Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 123: The Furious State Preceptor

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: The Furious State Preceptor

Peak of Nine-star Martial King-level powerhouses had all been defeated at his hands! There was only one explanation, the strength of this youth! He had reached the Realm of Martial King!

The Realm of Martial King! To have reached the Realm of Martial King at such a young age, the Yunlai Empire, apart from the Fifth Prince, had produced another evil demon genius.

Discussions erupted once more.

"This youth... actually possesses the Power of Martial King! What are we to do now? Among those present, who can still suppress him? I think I just insulted him a moment ago, I wonder if he heard it!"

"A Martial King Powerhouse, the Fourth Prince actually has a Martial King Powerhouse by his side!"

"You... How did you manage to provoke a Martial King Powerhouse!" Duke National Protector looked at his crying daughter, Princess Jiulian, and asked with a furrowed brow and a grave voice.

"Father... sob sob... your daughter... how would your daughter know? I thought he was just a servant from Prince Chenn’s Mansion, Father, I have never suffered such great humiliation before, you must seek justice for your daughter!" cried Princess Jiulian.

"State Preceptor has arrived!" Suddenly, a servant from the National Master Mansion shouted.

"The State Preceptor! The State Preceptor is here! That’s great, if we can’t handle this brat, surely the State Preceptor can’t either, right? He dared to cause a ruckus at the State Preceptor’s birthday celebration, he’s going to get it now," someone said.

"Lian’er, you were beaten at the State Preceptor’s birthday banquet, Daddy thinks the State Preceptor will certainly stand up for you! Hmph!" Duke National Protector snorted coldly.

"With the State Preceptor here, let’s see who else dares to act recklessly!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Today was Nalan Yuan’s birthday, he was clad in a long crimson robe and bore a majestic visage, as he walked out from the rear hall. Just one person, yet his presence felt as immovable as a mountain.

"The State Preceptor!"

"Lord State Preceptor!"

"Greetings to Lord State Preceptor, may your fortune be as vast as the East Sea and your lifespan as enduring as the Southern Mountains!"

...

Seeing Nalan Yuan emerge, everyone turned and called out. However, Nalan Yuan’s gaze was fixed on Shi Feng in the courtyard. With a stern expression, he didn’t address anyone present.

At that moment, everyone could see that the State Preceptor was angry! Someone was about to have a very bad day!

Nalan Yuan’s face was filled with rage, which finally erupted like a volcano. Pointing at Shi Feng, he roared at those surrounding him, "What in the world is going on here?" Suddenly, from Nalan Yuan as the epicenter, a powerful aura swept out. Many felt its force and couldn’t help but stumble backward. Some even had difficulty breathing, feeling as if they were about to suffocate.

The might of a Nine-star Martial Emperor, others trembled uncontrollably, unable to resist the urge to kneel before the State Preceptor.

This was Nalan Yuan still controlling his rage, holding back his aura. Otherwise, if he truly unleashed the full extent of the Power of a Nine-star Martial Emperor, many of those present with lower Martial Arts Cultivation levels would’ve been directly struck dead.

"State Preceptor, you must seek justice for us!" someone cried out grievously, "This young man caused a huge disturbance at your birthday banquet and injured many of us!"

"My father, already of such an advanced age, was struck by his hand!"

"My child was attacked by him and is still unconscious, unaware if he’s alive or dead! State Preceptor, you must seek justice for us!"

"State Preceptor, my daughter Jiulian merely exchanged a few words with this youth, and he had the audacity to slap my daughter’s face in front of everyone! State Preceptor, you must seek justice for my daughter!" the father of Princess Jiulian, Duke National Protector, pleaded.

"Enough!" Nalan Yuan shouted, silencing everyone’s chatter!

Then, people saw Nalan Yuan walking step by step towards Shi Feng.

"Hmph!" someone began to sneer secretly, as if they had already foreseen Shi Feng’s tragic fate.

"Daring to run wild in the National Master Mansion, what does it matter if he has the power of a Martial King?"

"Such a person should be taught a lesson, otherwise, my heart’s hatred can’t be soothed!"

"The State Preceptor had better shatter this man’s Dantian, waste his entire Martial Arts Cultivation, hmph, if that really happens, watch me not torment him to death."

"Lian’er, your father has already said, the State Preceptor will certainly stand up for you," Duke National Protector conveyed to Commandery Princess Jiulian.

"Father, I want this man dead! Otherwise, as long as he lives another day, your daughter will lose all her dignity and face," Commandery Princess Jiulian said bitterly.

"Father will definitely think of a way for you," Duke National Protector comforted his daughter.

Just as everyone was anticipating the State Preceptor to personally take action, to suppress this youth who had incited public wrath, they saw State Preceptor Nalan Yuan come in front of this young man and say with an apologetic face, "Young Master Feng, I apologize to you!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The phrase uttered by Nalan Yuan caused an uproar of shock, with involuntary cries of disbelief. Who was Nalan Yuan? The grand State Preceptor, a Nine-star Peak Martial King Powerhouse, who could be said to be the most esteemed in the Yunlai Empire next to the Emperor himself. Even the Emperor would respectfully greet him with: State Preceptor!

Yet, this was the very State Preceptor Nalan Yuan, showing a face full of apologies to such a young man, even addressing him as ’Young Master Feng’, and then apologizing to him.

People could not believe what they were seeing and hearing was real; some even suspected whether this man was really Nalan Yuan, or if he was wearing a human skin mask.

Others felt they must be dreaming, extending their hands to pinch their own thighs forcefully.

Even harder to accept was for Commandery Princess Jiulian, who looked at Shi Feng, then back at Nalan Yuan, and then again at Shi Feng, murmuring continuously, "How can it be, how can it be, how can it be like this!"

"Lian’er, you must not provoke this person in the future!" Duke National Protector solemnly warned Commandery Princess Jiulian.

"But, Father..." Commandery Princess Jiulian wanted to continue, but Duke National Protector interrupted her sternly: "With his Martial King power, it would be easy for him to kill our entire family tonight!"

"He wouldn’t dare!" Commandery Princess Jiulian bit her teeth.

"He dared to kill the heirs to the Three Major Sects!" Duke National Protector said gravely: "This man must have no ordinary background, and even the State Preceptor is respectful to him. If you don’t want to endanger our whole family, then stop provoking him!"

"You blind and ignorant fools!" Nalan Yuan roared at the entire crowd: "Young Master Feng is a distinguished guest of mine! I was holding this damn seventieth birthday banquet because I heard Young Master Feng was coming to the Imperial City, specifically to entertain Young Master Feng with a good reception! Yet you blind and ignorant fools dared to offend my distinguished guest!"

These people, they really deserve to die! Deserve to die!

In his heart, Nalan Yuan cursed. Just last night, he received a message from Long Chen. The realm that had puzzled him for decades and which he was unable to break through, this youth had said he could help him break through!

Martial King and Martial Sect, only a word apart, but the power is as different as heaven and earth. For so many years, Nalan Yuan had strived to enter the Martial Sect Realm, toiling hard for a full twenty-one years.
