Invincible Starting From the Nine Dragons Technique

After a bit of discussion, the two came to a consensus: Su Mo had been infected by Shi Feng and become a pervert.

Otherwise, it was just too strange.

The only thing they couldn't understand was why Su Mo had brought back Thunder Punishment and Elder Wen as well.

They were just a couple of old geezers.

Soon, they arrived at the Xiao Family's Great Hall.

Shi Feng was there as well.

Second Elder asked with curiosity, "Patriarch Shi, why aren't you on the training grounds practicing with your sword? What brings you here?"

Shi Feng said indignantly, "Lady Shen and Fairy Jinghong won't let me stay on the training grounds!"

"Because you're a pervert?"

Second Elder asked.

With an awkward expression, Shi Feng quickly looked toward Thunder Punishment and Elder Wen to change the subject. "These gentlemen look quite unfamiliar. You're not from our Northern Profound Domain, are you?"

"They're from the Central Profound Domain!"

Second Elder answered casually.

Shi Feng was surprised. "The Central Profound Domain? Then I absolutely must get to know you today. I am Shi Feng. May I have the honor of knowing your names?"

"My surname is Lei, and this gentleman beside me is surnamed Wen. We are Elders from the Giant Sword Sect."

Thunder Punishment answered dutifully.

Shi Feng was all smiles. "So it's Elder Lei and Elder Wen! A pleasure, a pleasure! Say, why aren't your disciples wearing any pants?"

"Who else would they have caught it from but you!"

Second Elder retorted.

Shi Feng asked, confused, "Infected them with what?"

Second Elder explained with a straight face, "Because you infected the Young Master. He became a pervert and stole their pants."

"HOLY SHIT!"

Shi Feng shrieked.

Veins pulsed on Su Mo's forehead. "When did I steal anything from them? They took their pants off voluntarily! What the hell does that have to do with me?"

Xiao Lang laughed. "Young Master, don't be angry. It's no big deal even if you did steal their pants. It's not like this is the first time we've robbed someone."

"I really fucking didn't steal them!"

Su Mo whipped his head around to look at Thunder Punishment and Elder Wen.

Thunder Punishment hastily explained, "Elder Su really didn't rob us! It was all voluntary! I'm begging you, please don't misunderstand him!"

"This… all right, then!"

Shi Feng and Second Elder were thoroughly confused.

Elder Wen added, "It's truly not what you're thinking. We heard from Lu the Monk that an 'Elder Su' was here, so we came specifically to pay our respects, hoping to establish a positive connection with him."

"A positive connection?"

Second Elder was pleasantly surprised. "Young Master, since the Giant Sword Sect is so sincere, we shouldn't put on airs. Why don't we form an alliance?"

Su Mo didn't answer immediately.

Second Elder continued to persuade him, "The more friends you have, the more roads you can travel. With the Giant Sword Sect as an ally, when our Xiao Alliance goes to the Central Profound Domain for training in the future, we'll not only have a place to stay but also their protection."

"Fine,"

Su Mo agreed reluctantly.

Second Elder looked at Thunder Punishment and asked eagerly, "Is that acceptable?"

"Yes! Of course!"

Thunder Punishment nodded profusely.

After witnessing Su Mo's immense power, they were desperate to become allies with the Xiao Family.

"Excellent!"

Second Elder said excitedly, "Old Lei, we're family now! You can't look down on our Xiao Alliance, alright?"

"Look down on you?"

Thunder Punishment was bewildered.

Second Elder said, "Our Xiao Alliance was founded not long ago, so our foundation is quite weak. We're surely lacking when compared to your Giant Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, Thunder Punishment lost his balance and fell flat on his back.

'Your Young Master made a Late Stage Martial Emperor kneel with his aura alone, and you call that 'lacking'?'

'Could you stop with the humble-bragging?'

With a pained expression, Thunder Punishment said, "Second Elder, rest assured, I'm not the kind of snob who looks down on people. I will absolutely cherish the alliance between our two factions."

"That's good to hear!"

Second Elder raised his cup. "Come, let me propose a toast to the Giant Sword Sect."

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their cups and drank.

The feast concluded with everyone full and satisfied.

Second Elder grabbed Thunder Punishment's arm. "Now that our two factions are allies, I am obligated to give you a tour of our Qingyang City so you can get a sense of our strength."

"Excellent!"

Thunder Punishment eagerly agreed.

He was dying to know what other powerful figures existed in Qingyang City besides Su Mo.

CLOP, CLOP, CLOP!

Just as the two of them stepped onto the main street, they were met with the sight of a hundred fully armed Demon Beasts and a hundred Black Armored Soldiers approaching them.

Leading them were a Yellow-robed Elder and a Broken-legged Demon Tiger.

"Second Elder, what brings you out here?"

The Yellow-robed Elder asked with a laugh.

Second Elder replied, "Desolate Old Monster, didn't I tell you to go back to the Imperial City and be the Emperor? Why are you still here working as a patrol captain?"

"Emperor?"

Thunder Punishment stared at the Desolate Old Monster in astonishment.

Second Elder explained, "This is the Desolate Old Monster of our Desolate Empire, an ancestor of the Royal Family. He's at the Mid Stage of the Martial King Realm."

Hearing this, Thunder Punishment was so shocked his eyeballs nearly popped out of his head.

'A royal ancestor at the Mid Stage of the Martial King Realm... on patrol?'

'Is this some kind of mistake?'

The Desolate Old Monster chuckled. "What bullshit Emperor? I was tired of that job long ago. Patrolling here is much more interesting! Second Elder, I won't lie to you, I'm just brimming with energy these days. If I don't patrol for a day, my whole body just feels wrong."

"If you say so!"

Second Elder looked utterly resigned.

Thunder Punishment pointed at the Broken-legged Demon Tiger. "And this is…?"

The Broken-legged Demon Tiger replied, "I am a Tier Five Demon Beast. Like the Desolate Old Monster, I am also a patrol captain. It was a hard-won position, I'll have you know."

"Huh?"

Thunder Punishment was completely baffled.

'A mere patrol captain? You have to fight for a position like that?'

'Just how fierce is the competition here?'

The Broken-legged Demon Tiger sighed. "For this position, I burned through more than half of my Demon Core and suffered grievous injuries all over my body. Only then did I manage to secure it…"

"What?!"

Thunder Punishment was utterly floored.

The Broken-legged Demon Tiger said with a sorrowful expression, "A thousand Great Demons have arrived recently, many of them Tier Six Great Demons. If I don't work harder, I'm going to lose this position as patrol captain."

"This…"

Thunder Punishment was at a loss for words.

The Broken-legged Demon Tiger wiped away its tears. "It's a long, sad story. Let's not talk about it. You two carry on. The Desolate Old Monster and I have to continue our patrol. We just got a report that a few clueless Martial Kings are making a scene at the tavern. I'm going to go rip them to shreds."

"Go on, then!"

Second Elder said with a wave of his hand.

One of the Brocade-clothed Disciples stepped forward and asked, "Elder Xiao, just how many Demon Beasts and Martial Kings do you have in Qingyang City?"

Second Elder thought for a moment. "Over thirty thousand Demon Beasts… As for Martial Kings, including those who broke through in the last couple of days, there are probably about a hundred."

The Brocade-clothed Disciple's expression froze.

'Over thirty thousand Demon Beasts, plus a hundred Martial Kings…'

'What the fuck…'

Second Elder continued, "However, we have very few top-tier experts. They're all on the training grounds right now. Come, I'll take you to see… Huh? Evil King, why are all of you out here?"

They had just arrived at the training grounds when they saw the Evil King walking toward them from the center, leading a group of fifteen or sixteen people.

The Evil King said, "The training grounds are for the young disciples' Cultivation. It's not a suitable place for us Martial Emperors. We're preparing to go outside the city to practice the Sword Moves Elder Su just taught us."

"All fifteen of you are Martial Emperors?"

Thunder Punishment asked, horrified.

The Evil King nodded.

HIIISSS…

Thunder Punishment couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath, his face a mask of pure shock.

'Fifteen Martial Emperors… and he calls that 'lacking top-tier experts'?'

'Can you please, please stop the humble-bragging?!'

'I really can't take this anymore! My poor heart is about to explode!'
