Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 179: Collaboration of Officials and Bandits, Citywide Search

It’s over... This was the unanimous thought in the minds of the three of them.

“Lord Chu Yama, spare me... slap, slap, slap...” The leader of the Golden Dragon Gang suddenly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, but then he started slapping himself in the face repeatedly, his frustration causing tears to flow.

What the hell am I saying? Begging for mercy while mentioning ‘Lord Chu Yama’? That’s a nickname for crying out loud! If Lord Chu Yama finds that offensive, then my head is as good as gone...

“Lord Chu... Lord Imperial Seat... spare me...” After hitting himself dozens of times, his face became swollen like a pig's head, and finally, he stopped, banging his head on the ground. After just a few knocks, there was a conspicuous pool of blood on the floor.

Seeing this, the other two were completely petrified. They thought the Golden Dragon Gang leader had heard or knew something...

This was a serious situation; the leader of the Sky Gate Sect instantly began banging his head on the ground like a scared pig, while the leader of the Divine Ability Sect was now utterly devoid of any ‘divine abilities’, collapsing to the ground, sobbing: “Lord Chu, spare me... I have a ninety-nine-year-old mother above me and a child who hasn’t even turned one month old below me…”

Chu Yang was taken aback: Am I really that terrifying? I merely said an opening line, didn’t I?

Beside him, Cheng Ziang and Chen Yutong were both flushed with embarrassment, nearly bursting into laughter: These three idiots are nothing short of comedic gems. They still call themselves leaders of their factions. Lord Imperial Seat said just one gentle sentence, and they all collapsed in unison.

A strange sound of someone about to lose control could be heard…

“Everyone, sit up straight!” Lord Chu Yama felt a bit dejected, caught between crying and laughing, and suddenly bellowed: “Today, if anyone here cares to lose control, I will annihilate their nine generations!”

The leader of the Sky Gate Sect, who had just uncontrollably let out a fart, felt his rear end tense up immediately, as hard as steel. In this state, not only could nothing come out from within, but even if someone tried to pry with a steel knife from the outside, it would be completely impossible.

Chu Yama realized that speaking softly to them would make them think too much; it was far more effective to intimidate them harshly.

“Return to your seats! If anyone sheds a single tear or cries out, I will annihilate their nine generations!” Lord Chu Yama roared. The phrase “annihilate their nine generations” had become second nature to him now. But the reality was that he didn't even know which nine generations he was talking about…

The three of them immediately obediently sat back down, sitting straight with their eyes focused. If their subordinates saw them now, they would surely have their jaws dropped in disbelief.

“You three, each have thousands of subordinates, or should I say, thugs and ruffians! You’ve been terrorizing the local area, monopolizing your domains! It is often said that what the officials can handle, you can also handle; and what the officials cannot handle, you still can. You three big gang leaders and sect masters, you’re quite impressive!”

Chu Yang instantly changed his strategy. Since they feared him so much, it was better to apply pressure rather than use a soft approach.

This statement immediately caused the three local tyrants to tremble like jelly. Lord Chu Yama’s words... carried a heavy killing intent.

“Although I preside over the Butian Pavilion, I can’t help but feel that my prestige in some respects is far inferior to yours.” Chu Yang said coldly.

“I dare not!” the three of them simultaneously knelt and started banging their heads like pounding garlic.

“I’m sure you wouldn’t dare!” Lord Chu Yama snorted heavily, his voice cold, then fell into a profound silence. The three of them felt their souls leave their bodies, sweating profusely and not daring to move.
