The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 522: Cruel Punishment

The Divine-Demon Young Master and Yao’er arrived at the Demon Hall, having learned about Ye Mieyin’s affairs.

At this moment, to the north of the Hidden Sect, the Northern Realm’s Celestial Zen Temple.

Inside the Buddha Hall sat many monks, including the new host, Master Yanhui, and his four major disciples Jie Chi, Jie Dian, Jie Kong, and Jie Se.

"Amitabha Buddha, as one of the Yellow Level Seven Major Sects of the Hidden Sect, the Celestial Zen Temple has the responsibility to maintain the stability of the Hidden Sect."

"That Donor Ye, defying the heavens, our Buddha will surely use Supreme Buddhist Dharma to suppress him."

Master Yanhui softly recited Buddhist Dharma.

"Master, is the Celestial Zen Temple really going to intervene in the Hidden Sect’s disputes?" Jie Kong asked.

"The gates of Hell have already opened to the Hidden Sect. If Hell is not emptied, what is the use of us practicing Buddhism?" Master Yanhui said with palms joined.

"Amitabha Buddha." The monks silently recited the Buddha’s name.

Within the Hidden Sect, Lower Realm’s Esoteric Sect.

Since the Sect Leader, Mud Bodhisattva, has not appeared, the Esoteric Sect is now under the control of Ye Qingtian.

After the experts of the Esoteric Sect declared him Ye Mieyin’s servant, the sect announced another news.

The Esoteric Sect was officially renamed the Mieyin Alliance!

This alliance caused an uproar in the Hidden Sect.

This is clearly opposing the Hidden Sect!

No one knows which deity is so arrogant!

In the Central Realm of the Hidden Sect, Celestial Martial Academy.

Mentors from the Outer Courtyard, Inner Courtyard, Earth Institute, and Celestial Institute gathered in the academy’s meeting room.

"With the upheaval in the Hidden Sect, each mentor should express their opinion."

Celestial Martial Academy Headmaster Luo Qianfeng said.

"I think it is not worth worrying, no matter how the Hidden Sect’s other sects change, it cannot shake our Celestial Martial Academy."

"The Celestial Martial Academy, with its millennia-old foundation, is far superior to other sects."

"If we panic every time other sects change slightly, how can we lead the trend in the Hidden Sect and lead other sects?"

Outer Courtyard Director Wang Zhinu said.

Upon hearing this, discussions began in the headmaster’s office.

"Director Wang is absolutely right, a mere Ye Mieyin is not worth our concern, and we should not give him any thought, otherwise others in the Hidden Sect will think we fear him."

Outer Courtyard Mentor Lin Qian agreed.

"Mentor Lin, a small spark can set a prairie ablaze. Now that the Seven Major Sects’ Esoteric Sect has changed its allegiance, that person’s energy is probably not small."

Another mentor, Instructor You Ruo, said softly.

"Instructor You Ruo, as a new mentor, focus on improving your class’s performance first. Why worry about such matters?"

Lin Qian snorted coldly, eyes full of disdain.

You Ruo bit her red lip. She wasn’t targeting Lin Qian, but considering from the perspective of a Celestial Martial Academy mentor.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qian treated her this way.

At this moment, she remained silent.

As the newly appointed Outer Courtyard mentor, she indeed had little influence, her class ranking last among the Outer Courtyard classes, while Lin Qian’s class had ranked first for two consecutive years!

Other academy mentors also actively voiced their opinions, but there were too many, even Luo Qianfeng felt overwhelmed.

In the Upper Realm of the Hidden Sect, the Martial God Hall.

It is perched atop the Peak of Piaomiao, several thousand meters high. Standing atop the Martial God Hall, one can pluck stars and tread upon the clouds.

It is the closest place to the sky.

News of Ye Mieyin and the renaming of the Esoteric Sect quickly reached here.

Soon, the Martial God Hall sent a man and two women to investigate Ye Mieyin.

These three were impressively Middle-Tier Martial Gods!

The Seven Major Sects of the Hidden Sect have become alert and even started taking action.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingtian, accompanied by Da Huang, followed Bai Suyi to Jin City.

The people of the Bai Family are now held as puppets in the Hou Family’s back garden by Hou Tianlei.

In the dungeon of the back garden, dark and damp, dozens of men and women, old and young, were imprisoned.

After entering, Hou Tianlong glanced at Bai Wencheng and the others in the cell, sneering coldly, "Bai Suyi deceived me, harmed my bodyguards. For her mistakes, you must pay!"

With that, he whipped Bai Wencheng.

Bai Wencheng gritted his teeth, but his aged face was drenched in cold sweat.

"Master!"

The Bai Family members shouted hoarsely.

"Haha, tough old bones. Blame your granddaughter, Bai Suyi, that despicable woman, for running to the Hidden Sect to meet a wild man!"

Hou Tianlong shouted coldly, whipping Elder Bai brutally.

After ten lashes, Hou Tianlong finally tossed the whip to the ground.

"Damn it, old bastard. I’m tired. I’ll come back to beat you later."

Hou Tianlong said, then turned and left the room.

"Elder!"

After Hou Tianlong left, Bai Wencheng could no longer bear it and fainted.

Seeing his body covered in wounds, many in the Bai Family cried in sorrow.

Bai Wencheng, at such an age, was now scourged and mutilated by Hou Tianlong with a whip!

An hour later, Hou Tianlong returned to the dungeon.

This time he chose an even more ruthless method.

He branded the character for "despicable" onto Bai Wencheng with a hot iron.

Elder Bai fainted several times, and each time he did, Hou Tianlong ordered people to pour water to wake him.

Holding the branding iron, Hou Tianlong asked with a sinister smile, "Old bastard, is everyone in the Bai Family despicable?"

"Do what you want, but do not insult the Bai Family!" Bai Wencheng said with iron determination.

"Damn it, daring to be tough on the brink of death."

With that, Hou Tianlong picked up the red-hot branding iron and pressed it hard on Elder Bai’s face.

A shrill scream echoed, and Elder Bai’s face immediately became a mess of blood and flesh.

"Elder!"

The Bai Family members were furious, but those who tried to fight back were clubbed down with electric batons.

Seeing Bai Wencheng’s miserable state, Hou Tianlong felt his anger finally dissipate.

"Record this old bastard’s miserable state and send the video to Bai Suyi, tell her if she doesn’t come back to the Hou Family obediently within a day, I will slice her grandfather to pieces and feed him to the dogs!"

Hou Tianlong said ruthlessly.

After all this, he sought out his master, the White Tiger Celestial King, intending to have him deal with Ye Qingtian.

When Bai Suyi received the video, she almost fainted.

Beside her, Ye Qingtian furrowed his brows slightly.

"Come with me." Ye Qingtian said calmly.

Bai Suyi nodded.

Soon, they arrived at the Hou Family.

"Call out Hou Tianlong." Ye Qingtian said calmly.

Seeing Ye Qingtian’s menacing arrival, a dozen men rushed out from the Hou Family.

"Stand aside, or die." Ye Qingtian said calmly, yet his tone carried a demonic resonance.

It was as if the entire world trembled in fear.

"Kid, you dare to trouble the Hou Family, do you have a death wish?!"

Boom!

With one punch, the Hou Family martial artists were all swept away.

At this time, Hou Tianlong received news that someone was causing trouble at the Hou Family.

"What? Are you saying that Bai Suyi, that despicable woman, brought help to attack us? Wait for me, Bai Suyi!"

Hou Tianlong shouted angrily.

He informed the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man’s gaze was sharp, exuding a chilling murderous aura.

He was White Tiger, a disciple of Mr. Feng Chu of the Secret Sect!

He was followed by three Martial Emperor powerhouses, each capable of shattering mountains and rivers!

"Obnoxious brat, daring to cause trouble at the Hou Family, courting death." White Tiger sneered coldly.
