The once-quiet Blue Sky Sword Sea quickly became lively after gaining three thousand disciples.
The Eight Saints of Azure Sky now had something to do, as they needed to teach these disciples.
Chen Xia also had his own matters to attend to, as Emperor Capital came to find him, angrily telling Chen Xia:
"Brother Chen, a few old geezers refuse to give you face. Their attitude is extremely bad, and they're unwilling to submit. They even want you to apologize to them in person, or else they'll harass the Blue Sky Sword Sea."
Chen Xia frowned and asked, "Who?"
Emperor Capital took out his list, which already had names circled, and pointed out the uncooperative Great Saints.
There were three in total.
All of them were veteran Great Saints from the Star Region, remnants from the previous great era, and quite familiar with the Blue Sky Sword Sea, which is why they had the courage to oppose.
Chen Xia nodded and said to Emperor Capital, "Come with me, and bring along White Emperor who guards the gate. We'll go together to have a reasonable discussion."
"Alright, alright!" Emperor Capital quickly nodded, his face beaming with joy. He had long disliked these three Great Saints, and now with Chen Xia backing him up, he became excited and turned to fetch his beloved beast.
Indeed, White Emperor had now become Emperor Capital's cherished beast, likened to a general's beloved horse.
Emperor Capital actually did ride on White Emperor when traveling.
Fortunately, White Emperor could shapeshift, so it didn't look too out of place. Otherwise, it would have been a bizarre sight of a person riding another person.
The three of them set off unhurriedly, preparing to visit the nearest Great Saint.
Zheng Yin Great Saint.
Emperor Capital went straight to the door, cursing and shouting:
"Zheng Yin, you old dog! Come out and face your granddaddy Emperor Capital! I want to see what courage you have, daring to refuse me earlier and even cursing at me!"
The void trembled.
An old man's figure appeared, his face gloomy as he looked at Emperor Capital and said coldly, "Seeking death?"
"You're the one coming to seek your father! If you keep yapping nonsense, I'll have you mate with my beloved beast!"
Upon hearing this, White Emperor under him shook his head in fear, his body trembling.
Although he knew Emperor Capital had many ways to torment people, he never imagined he'd play this dirty.
Zheng Yin Great Saint's face darkened as he stroked the wrinkles on his face with his withered fingers, then coldly said:
"You, the Blue Sky Sword Sea's dog, stop barking. No matter how much you bark, it's useless. Let your master behind you speak. Chen Xia, is it?"
Chen Xia tilted his head slightly, revealing himself from behind Emperor Capital, and smiled, "Originally, you weren't qualified to speak with me, but I didn't expect you to truly disagree."
"Hehe, even the Blue Sky Sword Sea from 30,000 years ago didn't dare to make me submit, let alone a newborn thing like you!" Zheng Yin Great Saint sneered.
"That's why I'm here," Chen Xia replied with a smile.
"You think you can make me submit?" Zheng Yin Great Saint mocked with a smile, then stroked his wrinkled chin and said, "Actually, submission isn't impossible. It just depends on how many benefits you can offer."
"Giving benefits doesn't count as submission," Chen Xia shook his head and calmly continued.
"I'm quite reasonable. I'll give you three breaths to reconsider."
"One!" Emperor Capital immediately started counting, his expression extremely excited. He could hardly wait to see Zheng Yin Great Saint get beaten.
Both sides remained impassive.
Zheng Yin Great Saint's thoughts raced, then he became disdainful, convinced that this was Chen Xia's tactic to scare him. After all, who only gives three breaths for consideration? What could be thought of in just three breaths?
Moreover, he was a Great Saint, the supreme existence in the Star Region. He hadn't been bullied for tens of thousands of years, how could he submit now?
"Two!" Emperor Capital's expression grew even more excited.
Chen Xia's expression remained calm, he even spared a moment to glance at the starry landscape beside them.
Zheng Yin Great Saint's expression changed from slight hesitation to full confidence, even breaking into a contemptuous smile, as if he was certain Chen Xia wouldn't dare to act.
"Three!"
As soon as the word fell.
Boom!
A sound that echoed for tens of thousands of miles rang out.
Zheng Yin Great Saint's body was embedded into a star, blood flowing profusely.
A not-so-large foot was stepping on his head.
Possibly size 40, but it's hard to say.
Chen Xia slowly lifted his foot, also releasing the Great Dao pressure on Zheng Yin Great Saint's body.
"Cough, cough!" Zheng Yin Great Saint began to cough violently, spitting out fresh blood, his face pale.
"Woo-hoo, this old dog finally got beaten!" Emperor Capital jumped up excitedly, just short of beating drums and gongs.
Zheng Yin Great Saint spat out blood, seemingly recovering a bit, and pointed at Chen Xia's nose, shouting again.
"I'm a Great Saint, I'm a Great Saint, how dare you, how could you..."
A hand directly grabbed his head, lifting him up like a dead dog.
Chen Xia spoke softly again.
"In the future, when the Heavenly Dao comes to settle accounts, no cultivator will escape. I need to gather all the power in the Star Region, so I can't allow any other Saints or Great Saints in the Star Region to disobey me. I don't want to waste time with you."
"If you don't want to submit, that's fine too. As long as you drop to the Heaven Mending Realm, it won't affect me, and you can live well for another twenty or thirty thousand years. I won't bother with you anymore."
"If you can't bring yourself to do it, I can help you drop your realm."
Zheng Yin Great Saint, pressed by four paths of pressure, didn't dare to move. His heart was filled with terror, and he finally understood fear. He hurriedly nodded and said in a trembling voice:
"I'm willing to submit, I'm willing!"
Chen Xia let go.
Zheng Yin Great Saint fell to the ground, directly fainting from fright.
The subsequent conversations with the other two Great Saints were even simpler.
Because Chen Xia directly brought the unconscious Zheng Yin Great Saint along, saying nothing, and just threw Zheng Yin Great Saint in front of them.
The other two Saints immediately understood.
They might talk tough, but their bones weren't hard, and they couldn't withstand a beating.
From this day forward.
In the Star Region, above the Heaven Mending Realm, there were no other voices.
This became Chen Xia's one-man show.
