Chapter 2054 - Insufferable Arrogance

Ning Hua and Zong Chan were both powerful. Both of them had flawless seventh-tier Great Paths. The power of the Great Path burst forth from both of them. Divine light circled the vast space.

Endless Divine Light of the Seals enveloped the space. In the sky above, a God Seal Pattern appeared. It poured down like a heavenly river as it churned towards Zong Chan.

With Zong Chan at the center, countless divine tablets circled him. The endless space seemed to be enveloped by the stone tablets.

Rumble. The divine tablets descended upon different locations in the space, suppressing this part of the sky. It caused the space to be filled with an unparalleled Great Path of Suppression. In the sky above, a heavenly tablet appeared. It seemed ancient, and the heavenly might of the Great Path emanated from it. It plunged downwards towards Ning Hua.

The world around them rumbled. The Great Path around them stretched out far and wide. The heavenly tablet plummeted down and suppressed the space. It seemed as though no one could block it.

However, Ning Hua, who was surrounded by divine light, did not bat an eyelid. He had a proud look on his face. He seemed to look down on everything. He swept a glance at the heavenly tablet of the Great Path falling towards him. He extended his arm, and endless Divine Light of the Seals surrounded him. It was as though countless sealing runes were dancing around his palm.

The next moment, Ning Hua took a step forward and immediately walked towards the heavenly tablet plummeting towards him. He raised a finger and pointed it at the sky.

There were a series of spells known as God Seal Spells. He was using the God Seal Spell known as God Seal Finger. Its might was unfathomable.

Once the God Seal Finger was unleashed, the endless Divine Light of the Seals radiated outwards, sweeping towards the oncoming heavenly tablet. As the finger landed, the space trembled violently. The heavenly tablet also shook vigorously. It stopped advancing. It was as though the space it was in had been completely sealed.

Loud rumbles could be heard. The heavenly tablet vibrated intensely. Endless divine light rained down, forming the Power of Suppression that pressed down on Ning Hua. Alas, the area around Ning Hua’s body had become an absolute Sealed Domain. It was impregnable.

When Zong Chan saw this, he formed seals with his hands. The countless divine tablets around them shook and were then detached from the ground. They circled the space and charged towards Ning Hua.

Ning Hua swept a glance at these divine tablets. He had a proud look of indifference. He stepped up into the air. Divine might emanated from him as his body became a Divine Body of the Great Path. Everywhere he passed by, the Great Path was sealed. He twirled his hands and then sent out a palm strike straight ahead. Countless sealing runes flew out. Each rune contained the might of the Great Path and suppressed this space.

“Set,” Ning Hua uttered this single word.

Right after he said this, a gigantic rune landed on a stone tablet. The stone tablet was immediately frozen in its spot. Although the light of the Great Path still circled the tablet, it could not break free. The rune was printed on its surface, sealing off the space.

As countless runes flew out, the surrounding stone tablets all stopped in their tracks. Even though their divine light filled the sky, they still could not budge at all. The entire sky seemed to become a single piece. The absolute Sealed Domain was completely under Ning Hua’s control.

Power of the Great Path radiated from Zong Chan’s body, but he still could not shake off the runes. Zong Chan understood that his Divine Wheel of the Great Path was still inferior to Ning Hua’s. Before this, during the assessment in Donghua Academy, he had a fifth-tier Divine Wheel, whereas Ning Hua could cause the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels to show six divine lights. Only Ye Futian’s Divine Wheel might have a chance to compete with Ning Hua’s. However, Ye Futian’s cultivation Plane was far inferior to Ning Hua’s. Hence, they could not be compared against each other; they were not even on the same level.

Ning Hua looked at Zong Chan. They locked gazes across the space. Frightening currents of the Great Path immediately clashed between them. Zong Chan felt unparalleled might emanating from Ning Hua’s pupils. Ning Hua looked down on the world, and his might reigned over all. No one could prevent him from invading their wills.

Frightening Divine Light of the Seals invaded Zong Chan’s pupils and seeped into his mind and will. This caused Zong Chan to be greatly affected. Then, a voice called out.

“You have a flawless Great Path, and your ability is not bad. However, you are still unqualified to get in my way,” said the voice with domineering authority. It was insufferably arrogant. As the voice said this, Ning Hua pointed a finger at the sky. As the finger landed, Zong Chan saw the finger grow infinitely larger. It immediately invaded his mind and will. It then landed on his body.

Bang!

There was a huge sound. The God Seal Finger was an extremely powerful attack. It caused Zong Chan to let out a dull groan. His Great Path collapsed, and his figure was sent directly flying outward. A bloody hole appeared on his body. The Qi in his body was being frenziedly suppressed.

His face was pale as he glanced at Ning Hua from afar. Ning Hua stepped into the air, still appearing insufferably arrogant as he glanced back at Zong Chan contemptuously. Zong Chan recalled how the members of the Donghua Domain rated the four most prominent figures. Ning Hua occupied his own level while the other three were another level below.

Who could stand against him?

Ning Hua was the top monstrous figure in the Donghua Domain.

At that moment, Zong Chan began to realize that Chief Ning was extremely ambitious. He was mandated to be the Domain Chief of the Donghua Domain. However, he seemed unwilling to settle and was not satisfied with his current standing. He wanted to secure his grip over the entire Donghua Domain. When Ning Hua reached his peak in the future, they would be two extremely powerful figures. When the time came, they would be figures that stood at the very top of, not just the Donghua Domain, but the entire Divine Prefecture.

After he swept a glance at Zong Chan, Ning Hua looked towards Ye Futian. Although the Donghua Heavens was said to have four top prominent figures, Ning Hua did not take the others too seriously. Be it Desolation or Zong Chan, he did not see any one of them as a match for him. His equals were in the other domains of the Divine Prefecture, not in the Donghua Domain.

He was currently the top monstrous figure in the Donghua Domain. In the future, he would be the leader of the Donghua Domain.

“You have defied the rules and committed manslaughter in the secret zone. I will seal your cultivation and take you into custody while your sentence is pending,” declared Ning Hua as he looked at Ye Futian. His tone was cold and arrogant. He was extremely overbearing.

In the distance, many cultivators were approaching them. However, Ning Hua ignored them and ordered, “Take him into custody.”

As he said this, cultivators from the Domain Chief’s Manor emerged again and approached Ye Futian,

Ye Futian turned to look at the cultivators from the Domain Chief’s Manor walking up to him. He had an extremely ugly expression. He had offended Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Lingxiao Palace. He had participated in the Donghua Banquet to join Domain Chief’s Manor. By doing so, the Divine Prefecture would be his place of respite, and Lingxiao Palace, as well as Great Yan Ancient Royal Family, would not be able to touch him.

However, how could he have imagined that the place he wanted to join was the force behind all this? The Domain Chief’s Manor was the true mastermind behind the scenes. Wouldn’t he be walking into a trap if he joined them?

Ning Hua’s ability was powerful. No one could stand against him. There were also top figures from the other two forces. Ye Futian would not be able to escape at all. Once he was taken into custody, one could imagine the consequences. Since the mastermind was the Domain Chief, they would not let him go easily. After all, he was the true inheritor of Supreme Deity Donglai’s teachings.

“Follow me,” at that moment, a voice whispered in Ye Futian’s ear. As the voice said this, a blinding light shot out. Many people could not keep their eyes open. The cultivators from the Domain Chief’s Manor who were walking towards Ye Futian also closed their eyes slightly as the bright light shone on them. When they opened their eyes, Ye Futian’s body had already disappeared without a trace. A beam of light appeared in the distance.

“Presumptuous!” Ning Hua yelled. His will swept towards the beam of light. With a single step, he traversed across the space. He raised his hand and grabbed the air. Divine Light of the Seals immediately enveloped the vast space as he grabbed out into the distance.

As he clenched his palm, the space was sealed off. However, in the distance, only a beam of light was left behind, but there was no sign of any figures.

They had escaped so quickly? Many people thought to themselves in astonishment.

“They used a ritual implement,” someone said. The other party used a ritual implement. Otherwise, they would have been unable to utilize such speed. They already knew who had taken Ye Futian away.

He was previously a legendary figure in the Donghua Domain. Not long ago, he had lost to Ye Futian during the Donghua Banquet. He did not want to join Donghua Academy or the Domain Chief’s Manor. He was Chen Yi.

In the mountain range, wills were blocked off. The beam of light traversed through the mountain range and was quickly hard to catch as Ning Hua did not know where it went. This caused Ning Hua’s gaze to turn extremely cold.

He glanced at the other cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower as a cold aura emanated from his gaze.

“Ye Liunian defied the rules and committed murder in the secret zone. Not only have all of you not helped maintain order, but you also aided him in escaping. How should we deal with you?” Ning Hua said in a cold tone as he glanced over the cultivators of Wangshen Watchtower. His voice was still overbearing. Li Changsheng, Zong Chan, and the others felt that, to Ning Hua, no one else was his equal. He did not take any cultivator from the various forces of the Donghua Domain seriously.

“Vice Chief, you did not investigate the truth of the matter before attempting to take him into custody. If that is how you do things, you can do whatever you want,” Li Changsheng mocked. As expected, Ning Hua was preparing to also act against the cultivators of Wangshen Watchtower.

“Vice Chief, since we are in the secret zone, no one, be it Ye Liunian or the cultivators of Wangshen Watchtower, can escape from here. After we leave this place, we will meet the Chief as well as the various forces. Why don’t we wait for Chief to determine how to handle this issue then?” a voice nearby suggested this. Ning Hua turned to look at the person who had spoken. It was Goddess Jiang Yueli of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow.

Jiang Yueli naturally also felt that something was strange about this matter. Before this, when they passed by, they saw the cultivators from the Wangshen Watchtower being pursued. The other party had been relentless in their pursuit but appeared to have been killed instead. The cultivators of Domain Chief’s Manor, led by Ning Hua, immediately took action on the members of Wangshen Watchtower. She felt that this was strange. The truth of the matter probably still needed to be investigated.

Hence, she had spoken up. They should leave it to the Chief to decide after they left this place.

Jiang Yueli did not ponder too much about the issue. She naturally did not know that the Chief was the true mastermind behind the scenes.

Ning Hua knew what was going on behind the scenes, but he couldn’t reveal this in public. He looked at Jiang Yueli and then swept another glance at the cultivators from the Wangshen Watchtower. He still had an indifferent look in his eyes, as if he was dismissive of them.

“Since Goddess Jiang has said so, I will honor her words. After we leave this place, my father will determine your fate,” Ning Hua announced. It was as Jiang Yueli said. These people couldn’t escape the secret zone. They would not be going anywhere.

If that was the case, there was no need for him to be hasty. Right now, he also lacked an excuse. After all, Ye Futian was the one who killed those people. It wouldn’t be appropriate for him to kill the cultivators from the Wangshen Watchtower. This would easily arouse suspicion from others that Domain Chief Manor was aiding the Yan Kingdom and Lingxiao Palace.

Even though that was the reality, no one could know.

Jiang Yueli nodded her head slightly. Li Changsheng looked at her and said over transmitted thoughts, “Many thanks, Goddess.”

If Ning Hua chose to attack now, they would not be able to do anything. For now, they could only play by ear!
