Chapter 5141: Orders are as firm as mountains

Hearing his words, Leng Hua’s face softened into a smile, though his eyes remained icy. He looked at him and said in a gentle tone, “Is this how Elder He obeys my commands? Or is it that you refuse to follow my master’s orders?”At these words, Elder He stiffened slightly, anger welling within him. Who dared defy the Phoenix Empress’s commands? Yet this man was merely a subordinate of the Phoenix Mistress—did he truly expect this monarch to obey and submit to him?
“Hmph! Young Master Leng, what arrogance! You dare invoke the Phoenix Empress to intimidate this old man?”
As he spoke, he slammed the chess piece in his hand onto the board. The jade-like piece collided with the board, emitting a crisp, resonant sound. Simultaneously, the overwhelming pressure of a Monarch surged forth from him, bearing down on Leng Hua, intent on intimidating him.
“Thud!”
The instant the pressure struck, Leng Hua gripped the Primordial Treasure Umbrella, thrusting its tip into the ground. A powerful aura erupted from the umbrella in his hand, sharp as a blade, piercing the soul!
“Whoosh!”
Almost simultaneously, both monarchs’ eyes narrowed sharply as they leapt to their feet. “The Primordial Treasure Umbrella!”
“Does Elder He wish to fight me?” Leng Hua’s voice remained as cool and measured as ever.
How could Elder He dare to fight him? It wasn’t fear of his strength, but fear of Feng Jiu standing behind him. Because he was Feng Jiu’s man, no matter how dissatisfied or unwilling he felt, he dared not raise a hand. If he did, and the Phoenix Empress found out, the one held accountable would be him.
His gaze fixed intently on the treasure umbrella in Leng Hua’s hand, his fist clenched tightly beneath his sleeve. Such a treasure, possessed by such a man—it was truly a waste of divine energy!
How could he possibly be worthy of wielding this Primordial Treasure Umbrella?
Alas, this man was a close confidant of the Phoenix Empress. Even if he resented and disobeyed him, even if he wanted to teach him a lesson, he dared not.
Who was Leng Hua? Externally, all knew him as Feng Jiu’s trusted confidant. Internally, he overseers domestic affairs—in simpler terms, he served as Feng Jiu’s steward.
Having encountered countless individuals, he naturally discerned the resentment, unwillingness, and defiance in Elder He’s eyes.
Besides this Elder He, the nearby Monarch and the newly subdued cultivators who had come upon hearing the commotion were all watching the situation unfold.
He knew that if he couldn’t demonstrate the power to intimidate them today, commanding them in the future would be difficult. This would not only be a loss of face for himself but also for his Master, betraying the trust placed in him.
It had only been a few days since he took charge, but he knew this was precisely the opportunity he’d been waiting for—a chance to make an example of someone.
Thus, he withdrew the gentle smile from his face, his voice growing cold as he spoke: “It seems I must make you understand what it means when I say, ‘Orders are as firm as mountains!'”
The words barely left his lips when he jerked the Primordial Treasure Umbrella upward. His figure shot forward like a gust of wind. The umbrella spun in his grasp, unleashing a powerful gust of air—cold, sharp, and carrying a terrifying aura—that hurtled straight toward Elder He.
Seeing that he had made the first move, a flicker of delight crossed Elder He’s eyes. Since he had initiated the attack, Elder He would show no mercy! Even if the Phoenix Empress later demanded accountability, he could claim it was self-defense!
Instantly, he flipped his palm. A powerful air current coalesced within his palm, rapidly gathering into a dense mass.
