Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 855 - 853: Three Powers Stand Together

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Qiu Yiyun and Nantian Ao felt a burning pain on their faces as if they had just been slapped dozens of times.

They had just finished mocking the Xiaoshanhe Institute for their lack of resources.

Now...

The entire institute had erupted in unison.

Over a hundred members of the Longevity Secret Realm, six Earth Venerates, and Xiao Yi, a freakish existence capable of instantly killing anyone at the Peak of the Earth Venerate Realm.

With such resources, even if they couldn't rival the might of the Nantian Holy Institute and the Nantian Dynasty, they were certainly powerful enough to dominate one side and form a tripod of power with them.

"I, I fuck..."

Nantian Ao spat fiercely, while a sharp pain shot through his gums.

Qiu Yiyun had a bitter smile on his face, "With this... the Xiaoshanhe Institute has finally fully risen!"

Nantian Ao was speechless.

Disciples above the Golden Core Realm numbered in the tens of thousands.

With over a hundred Longevity Secret Realm masters and Xiao Yi's combat power comparable to that of someone in the Early Heavenly Venerate Realm, if such strength wasn't enough to support the rise of the Xiaoshanhe Institute and the Daqian Dynasty, what other power could claim to be on the rise?

The momentum of the Xiaoshanhe Institute could no longer be contained.

What's more...

If the news of today's battle spread, the terrifying achievements of Xiao Yi, as well as the information about him casually creating over a hundred Longevity Secret Realm masters, it would certainly attract more geniuses and strong practitioners to join the Daqian Dynasty.

With Xiao Yi's means, the Daqian Dynasty would only grow stronger.

Of course.

If the Nantian Dynasty and the Nantian Holy Institute spared no effort in striking at the Daqian Dynasty, they could suppress it, but Xiao Yi's presence meant they did not dare to risk it.

Keep in mind.

An existence capable of slaying masters at the Earth Venerable Peak and possessing the combat power of someone in the Early Heavenly Venerate Realm, once it takes an all-out revenge, the consequences would be unbearable even for the Nantian Dynasty and the Nantian Holy Institute.

This is the deterrent power of a top-notch master.

Like the time when the Nantian Holy Institute planned to strike at the Nantian Dynasty but had to stand by and watch as the Nantian Holy Institute was established because Nantian Wen, on his own, slew a Heaven Venerate, and the Nantian Dynasty gradually slipped from their control.

"We bow before the Institute Director! May the Xiaoshanhe Institute remain eternal, unmatched throughout the world!"

"The Director is wise and mighty, a martial crown for all ages..."

The disciples of the Xiaoshanhe Institute, led by Yu Huaxian and others, shouted loudly.

The roar shook the heavens.

Startling the world as a wild storm began to stir.

Tens of thousands of disciples, each at least at the Golden Core Realm and over a hundred Longevity Secret Realm masters kneeling in unison towards Xiao Yi, much like the most devout followers on a pilgrimage.

Even Xiao Yi, with his state of mind, couldn't help but feel a wave of pride.

When he first arrived at the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

It was nothing more than a declining force on the brink of extinction, a place needing much rebuilding.

After his efforts...

In just three short years, he had turned the Xiaoshanhe Institute into a giant that even the Nantian Holy Institute and the Nantian Dynasty dreaded, a feat that could only be described as miraculous.

Of course...

Xiao Yi also understood that such a grand scene as today was unlikely to be witnessed again.

This powerful boost to the cultivation of everyone at the Xiaoshanhe Institute had nearly exhausted the resources he had acquired in the far south.

Moreover.

Before today's improvement, people didn't know much about the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

They would think this was just the Xiaoshanhe Institute's accumulation bursting forth.

But if such miracles happened over and over again, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from other holy places and strong individuals.

The current power of the Xiaoshanhe Institute was enough to make the Nantian Holy Institute wary, so they would not act rashly. However, if the secrets of the mystical lake water and the Eternal Tombs were exposed, greed could draw collective action from the major holy places, and even Xiao Yi's strength would not be able to withstand it.

As for the last reason...

Of course, it concerned the future of everyone from the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

If they always relied on Xiao Yi's help for every breakthrough, they would inevitably develop a strong dependence, losing their martial spirit, which would be a loss not worth the gain.

The path of martial arts.

Ultimately, one must forge it on their own.

"Everyone, rise!"

Xiao Yi raised his hand, and in an instant, an invisible force made a hundred thousand people rise to their feet simultaneously, their faces showing expressions of shock.

This level of nuanced control over power was definitely at the apex of perfection!

Watching the hundred thousand disciples in front of him, each looking at him with fiery, admiring eyes, Xiao Yi remained devoid of joy or sorrow. He simply stood with his hands behind his back, his calm gaze sweeping toward the stage direction, not specifically targeting anyone on the high platform, yet imposing an intangible pressure on them.

Nantian Ao let out a wry laugh. Although his heart was filled with reluctance and unwillingness, he dared not oppose Xiao Yi at this moment, turning to look at Qiu Yiyun beside him, "Let's go, he's already waiting for us!"

"Sigh..."

Qiu Yiyun let out a deep sigh. What was this all about? He had thought that their arrival at the Daqian Dynasty was to seek justice for Li Yaofeng and others, but now they had been overawed and subdued by Xiao Yi without even making a move, "Talents emerge in every generation, stronger than the last, perhaps we truly are old!"

The two stood side by side and flew towards Xiao Yi.

Under the watchful eyes of all.

They bowed with clasped fists, meticulously and without a hint of pretense or artifice.

Qiu Yiyun said aloud, "Qiu Yiyun from Nantian Holy Institute congratulates Director Xiao!"

Nantian Ao said in a deep voice, "Nantian Ao, commander of the Nan Tian Imperial Guards, congratulates Director Xiao! From now on, Xiaoshanhe Institute will be an undeniable force on the land of Southern State!"

"How so? Weren't you two coming to ask for my cultivation technique?" Xiao Yi said with a smile that was not quite a smile as he looked at them.

He was well aware of their intentions.

Faced with Xiao Yi's teasing, both of them stiffened, Nantian Ao said with a forced smile, "Director Xiao is joking. Everyone has their own destiny with cultivation techniques, and they're not necessarily suited for all."

"Nantian brother is right!"

Qiu Yiyun nodded, echoing, "Director Xiao, from now on, the affairs of Southern State should be collaboratively negotiated among our three powers!"

This was an acknowledgment of Xiaoshanhe Institute's status on par with the Nantian Dynasty and the Nantian Holy Institute.

In the future, Southern State would be a tripartite balance of power!

This was exactly what Xiao Yi wanted!

Xiao Yi smiled and looked at the two, stepping forward to put his arms around their shoulders.

This caused Nantian Ao and the other to stiffen all over, extremely uncomfortable.

What were their statuses?

On any normal day, who would dare to be so familiar with them?

Xiao Yi said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Since Southern State will be under our joint consultation, then our three powers should be allies, sharing fortunes and hardships together, right?"

"Ah?"

The two were startled, nodding subconsciously.

Xiao Yi continued, "Since we are allies in times of both advancement and hardship, then... today I killed Po Jun and extinguished fifty thousand Earthshatter Heavenly Gang Guards, the Changsheng Sect will surely not let this pass. If one day the Changsheng Sect invades our Daqian Dynasty in force, surely you will not stand idly by, right?"

While speaking.

Xiao Yi's hand tightly grasped their shoulders, rendering them unable to move.

Their faces fell.

They were quite sure that if they shook their heads, Xiao Yi would crush their shoulders.

Thinking this.

The two could only bitterly say, "Director Xiao, rest assured, we will certainly not stand by!"

"Good, but verbal promises are no proof, so permit me to be distrustful before honorable," Xiao Yi said with a flick of his wrist, as three jade tokens appeared in front of them. Effortlessly, he engraved three oaths onto the jade tokens, signing his name grandly, "Gentlemen, please endorse the covenant!"

The two exchanged a glance, wanting to refuse, yet the pressure on their shoulders grew greater.

Xiao Yi spoke leisurely, "If we are to be allies, perhaps one day I will think of some methods to rapidly increase cultivation... Both of you have been at the Earth Venerable Peak for some time now, haven't you? Maybe, I'll have a way to help you advance even further..."

Before he had finished speaking.

The two had already signed their names on the jade tokens and left their innate seals.

"Ha ha ha, congratulations to both of you, from now on we shall be the alliance of Southern State!"

Xiao Yi laughed heartily as he handed the jade tokens to them, his eyes bursting with dazzling brilliance.

With these three jade tokens in hand,

Even the Changsheng Sect would not dare to easily set foot in Southern State or trouble Xiaoshanhe Institute anymore.

Most importantly...

The signing of this covenant also solidified the status of Xiaoshanhe Institute and the Daqian Dynasty on the same level as the Nantian Holy Institute and the Nantian Dynasty.

In the days to come, Southern State would be a tripartite power.

And the architect of all these wonders...

Was Xiao Yi!
