Chapter 151: Demon Emperor? Kneel!

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing the instructions from her master, Leng Yanran, even though not explicitly stated, understood the master's intention.

Clearly, it was time for some merits!

Thus, under the gaze of the crowd, Leng Yanran gracefully moved through the air by the side of her master, landing steadily in the center of the Jiang family's courtyard.

Perhaps not wanting to soil herself with the clothing of the Jiang family, Leng Yanran frowned in disgust and, with a casual use of her spiritual energy, cleared a space in the center of the courtyard.

Afterward, she sat down and began to recite the Great Compassion Mantra - the Transcendence Verse - taught by her master.

Now, after the incident with the Ren family, Leng Yanran had become even more proficient in the recitation of the Great Compassion Mantra scripture. Even while chanting, a faint ethereal image appeared behind her – not a genuine Buddha statue, but rather a figure that was half serene Buddha emitting a light golden glow, and half heavenly demon emitting a thick aura of malevolence.

The numerous powerful figures of the Western Regions who witnessed this were all stunned.

"What? After annihilating a clan, she's responsible for their transcendence too?"

"Don't tell me that the merit spoken of by that immortal… was gained through transcendence after the annihilation?"

"…I guess that's probably it…"

"I don't know why, but I feel that the immortal is more suited for the title of Demon Emperor. As an elder of the demon clan, I feel ashamed, truly ashamed..."

"Too ruthless, it's simply... as heartless as shrimp and pork..."

"While she chants, a thread of merit faintly emerges around her. Obviously, she had accumulated merit before this, but I'm afraid that this merit came from the same source as well?"

"Hmm... for the first time, I feel that sometimes merit might be even dirtier than karma. It's simply too tainted…"

The many onlookers were left dumbfounded for a moment. They never expected that the so-called reciprocal merit would involve annihilating a clan first and then transcending them!?

Who taught her this way of acquiring merit?

For anyone else, if they were to do this, the karmic consequences of annihilating a clan would far outweigh the merit gained from transcending them. No matter how you calculate it, it wouldn't be possible to profit from merit.

However, Chen Daoxuan was an anomaly. Karmic consequences didn't seem to touch him, and he directly bestowed the merit upon his disciples, a feat that no one else could replicate…

Before long, according to her master's instructions, Leng Yanran recited the transcendence scripture twice for the VIP client of the Jiang family.

And on the square of the Jiang family, thousands of unconscious apparitions appeared, bowing deeply to Leng Yanran before dissipating into the realm of this world, returning to the source of heaven and earth.

"…"

"I suddenly feel that the Jiang family might be the most unfortunate family after annihilation."

Seeing those true spirit apparitions of the Jiang family bowing to Leng Yanran, the onlooking powerful figures of the Western Regions couldn't help but twitch their faces.

"Master, it's done."

Leng Yanran stood up slowly and could faintly sense that she had gained another strand of merit, several times more than what she had gained from the Ren family.

"Yes, what comes next, I should not teach you, right?" Chen Daoxuan nodded slightly in agreement, then let out a yawn, clearly no longer interested in the Western Regions.

"Understood! Yourong, why are you still standing around? It's time to collect the transcendence fees."

Leng Yanran nodded repeatedly at her master's words, indicating her understanding.

The cost of transcendence at the Heaven's Dao Pavilion was affordable for everyone. After all, when people had departed, what use were the treasures of heaven and earth that remained?

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing her senior sister's call, Yourong smiled and followed her senior sister into the Jiang family mansion for a thorough sweep.

"I thought this immortal senior wouldn't be interested in these trifles of the Jiang family. Looks like I might get a piece of the pie later."

"Tsk, seeing how skilled she is, there might not be a single hair left by the time she's done."

The onlookers watched as Leng Yanran and Li Yourong, with incredible skill, collected the treasures of heaven and earth from each room, even retrieving spatial artifacts scattered on the ground.

As for the Jiang family's treasure vault, they would definitely not let that go either. The onlookers could only twitch their lips in realization… these two were habitual offenders!

Just as everyone thought the situation had come to an end, a figure exuding a dense demonic aura appeared above the Jiang family, seemingly out of nowhere.

This person was dressed in a black dragon emperor's robe, his facial features sharp and distinct. The aura of a Tribulation Crossing Realm expert emanated from him without concealment.

"Who might you be? Why did you recklessly intervene in the affairs of the Western Regions? I request that you give an explanation."

As soon as he appeared, the figure in the emperor's robe asked in a deep and calm voice. Though he was aware of Chen Daoxuan's formidable strength, he didn't show the slightest hint of fear.

"Hiss… His Majesty has actually appeared!"

"Tribulation Crossing Realm, His Majesty has reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm!?"

"Although that Immortal Master is formidable, within the ancestral land of our Demon Dynasty, there are rumors of Immortal Master ancestors guarding. They might intervene if the situation becomes critical."

"This complicates things…"

At the instant the newcomers appeared, the pupils of the people from the Western Regions contracted. One after another, numerous powerful figures of the Western Regions emerged from hiding, revealing themselves.

"Zhao Yizhen greets Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yizhen, as an uncle of the dynasty, heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing His Majesty's arrival. He had been worrying that if that expert of Immortal Master realm took offense to him, a new dynasty's uncle, he might easily get rid of him.

Now that His Majesty was present, at least he had His Majesty's support even if everything went awry.

"Li Fu pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"Jinzhong pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"…"

"Pay respects to Your Majesty!"

Many powerful figures from the Western Regions who had been observing in the shadows also emerged, bowing respectfully to Emperor Zhao Baizhou.

"No need for formalities."

Emperor Zhao Baizhou waved his hand casually, his gaze calm as he looked at Chen Daoxuan, who was observing him with slightly raised eyelids. In response, Zhao Baizhou straightened his posture.

"Are you the current Demon Emperor? Tsk, what a grand entrance. Just a moment ago, even this pavilion master wasn't treated with such reverence. Your approach makes you seem even more distinguished than this master, making this master lose face, you know?"

Chen Daoxuan had initially planned to resolve the Jiang family matter first, then return to the mountain for a rest before further enhancing his strength. However, his plans changed upon the sudden arrival of the Demon Emperor.

"Oh? And how might Your Excellency intend to proceed?"

Zhao Baizhou stood with his hands behind his back, maintaining his height level with Chen Daoxuan, his gaze meeting his, as he casually inquired.

"Here's the deal. Since they bow to you, then you shall bow to this Pavilion Master. Kneel!"

Chen Daoxuan, seeing Zhao Baizhou's dignified and composed demeanor, couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. As his words fell, a surge of draconic might swept forth, and the sound of thudding filled the air.
