Heavenly Harem Sect

Having successfully recruited new disciples, it was now the perfect moment to bask in the joyous ambience and indulge in the festivities.

Laughter filled the air as everyone immersed themselves in the celebration, savouring the camaraderie and accomplishments.

The mansion\'s opulent halls echoed with cheer, evoking an atmosphere of jubilation and fulfilment.

It was a well-deserved occasion that called for a grand and memorable gathering, leaving hearts brimming with happiness and memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Having been glorified as the Ruler of the City, Daniel commanded the loyalty of all Noble Families under his benevolent rule. His ascension to power symbolized unity and reverence, as everyone willingly pledged their loyalty to this esteemed and respected leader.

However, this itself was a taboo and was directly against the rule of the Imperial Families and the commotion of Viston handing over his nobility caused a stir in the Continent that even the Imperial Families were informed of, and they had dispatched their members to investigate which fool had broken the law. 

In the midst of Daniel\'s merry revelry with his harem, the peace was shattered as the mansion\'s door was rudely busted open.

Three Elders, draped in arrogance, approached with disdain etched on their faces.

Their haughty expressions conveyed their belief in their superiority. With an air of self-importance, they sauntered in, their fingers grazing their beards in a show of condescension.

The atmosphere turned icy as their presence dominated the room. It was evident that they looked down upon the audience and their voices boomed, filled with disdain, as they addressed the gathering.

Their intrusion disrupted the celebration, leaving everyone feeling belittled and furious at this unwelcome intrusion.

\'\'We\'re from the Imperial Families and it has come to our attention that a certain noble has broken the customs of the Imperial Laws which has been maintained for thousands of years\'\' 

One of the Elders spoke, his voice carrying an overwhelming suppression that weighed heavily on all the cultivators present, except for Daniel and his harem, who managed to resist the oppressive force.

The room fell into an uneasy silence as the power imbalance became apparent, leaving the others feeling powerless and intimidated by the dominating presence of the Elders.

\'\'So before things get ugly, I wonder which fool had broken the custom?\'\' He increased the pressure even more with his eyes gazing around the room. 

Under the suffocating pressure unleashed by the Elder, the entire audience struggled to catch their breath, their bodies trembling with the effort to withstand the force.

Despite their valiant attempts to defend themselves, their strength paled in comparison.

The relentless pressure took its toll, leaving them gasping for air and eventually causing them to cough up blood, a distressing sight that added to the sense of helplessness in the room.

As the pressure intensified, Viston\'s desperate eyes implored Daniel for assistance, recognizing the ruler\'s immunity to the oppressive force.

Unwilling to overlook the haughty Elders, Daniel, as the city\'s ruler, saw an opportunity to display his true power to the audience.

To the audience, the three Elders from the esteemed Imperial Families might have appeared formidable, but to Daniel, they were mere ants in comparison.

With unwavering confidence, he saw through their facade of strength and prepared to assert his dominance. 

\'\'What a joke\'\' 

Eventually, Daniel\'s voice resounded and with the wave of his hand, all of the pressure towards the audience disappeared and he even manipulated the law of life to repair whatever damages the 3 of them had done. 

As his voice echoed the 3 elders finally noticed his presence and they couldn\'t help but frown. 

\'\'Who are you and state your name\'\' One of them demanded.

Witnessing Daniel unaffected by their powerful auras and nonchalantly dispelling their oppressive energy left them astonished.

Moreover, his ability to neutralize their intimidation was an extraordinary display of strength that set him apart from ordinary cultivators.

Thus, they couldn\'t help but be wary of this man. 

\'\'Why would I state my name when I know that the 3 of you won\'t live to see another day?\'\' Daniel smiled widely and he meant what he said. 

He wouldn\'t hesitate to kill 3 of them right now and he was willing to even do it for free. After all, he had nothing to be worried for, but for the others, his words were provocative and their reactions were what Daniel had expected to be. 

\'\'How Presumptuous!\'\' One of the Elders who had anger issues couldn\'t believe what he had just heard. 

He was a cultivator who couldn\'t be found anywhere, and even if someone searched within the top-ranking cities, they wouldn\'t be able to find cultivators were as strong as him.

After all, cultivators who belonged to the imperial families were different breeds. 

Hence, for someone to be treated in this way, his pride and ego were challenged and no one had treated him like this before. Because of that, he was angered and wanted to teach the man a lesson. 

\'\'You young man needed to be taught a lesson!\'\'

The Elder quickly flew towards Daniel and gathering Qi to his fist, he launched an attack. 

\'\'Shattering Mountain Fist!\'\'

For some reason, he loudly named his attack before striking Daniel\'s face.

The impact resonated with a thunderous sound that echoed throughout the mansion, leaving everyone astonished by the audacity and power behind the blow.

*Boom* 

As the Elder\'s fist connected with Daniel\'s face, the force was so immense that the entire mansion trembled.

The malicious smile on the Elder\'s face suggested he believed his victory was assured, confident that his blow had dealt a fatal blow. 

\'\'Young people nowadays should learn basic respect towards their Elders\'\' He angrily stated while walking away. However, things had yet to settle. 

\'\'Is that all? I could hardly feel anything\'\' 

However, to the astonishment of everyone present, Daniel remained unfazed.

Daniel\'s voice resounded and the Elder\'s body paused and as he turned around, he had an expression where he couldn\'t believe his eyes. 

\'\'How?\'\' He wasn\'t questioning Daniel but rather himself. 

It can be said that the Elder, Blake, has a cultivation base of a Martial Saint and a human who achieved this feat would be able to interpret their bodies with law. 

Beneath the Martial Saint Realm, is the Saint Realm where cultivators could learn and comprehend only one law.

Thus, once they had reached the Martial Saint Realm, their bodies would be embodied with the law that they had learned. 

For Blake who is 5th Stage Martial Saint Realm, he had incorporated the Law of Fire into his body and it is said that every move would contain a particular essence of his law. 

Which is why Blake was somewhat surprised and disturbed by Daniel. 

\'\'How? I guess it\'s because you\'re too weak\'\'

Daniel mocked while wiping away the dust from his body since Blake\'s attack had caused dust to gather. 

Veins were popping around his head when Daniel mocked him and every doubt about Daniel had disappeared as now, he only wished to kill him. 

\'\'That was just luck!\'\' He declared before rushing towards him and landing dozens of sets of attacks as he barrage him. 

\'\'Heavy Blaster!\'\'

\'\'Fiery Punch!\'\' 

\'\'Demolisher Shattering Fist!\'\' 

One after another, he was utilizing his techniques but the more he discovered that it wasn\'t working the more terrified he became.

All of the moves that he had used were attacks that could kill at least 3 stages above his current base. 

And for Daniel to be unscathed from this could only mean one thing and that he is stronger than him. 

After a few minutes, Blake\'s energy was running out had he was gasping for air.

On the other hand, Daniel was still standing where there wasn\'t any inch of injury in his body not even a small cut. 

\'\'Are you satisfied now?\'\' Daniel questioned and he was smiling with killing intent. 

\'\'Because if you are, get ready for my turn\'\' He said and Blake felt his killing intent had been paralysed with fear. 

Meanwhile, the 2 Elders who watched Blake\'s exchanging his moves were frowning. 

They couldn\'t believe what their eyes were seeing and when they noticed Daniel was about to make his move, they couldn\'t leave him be, but it was too late for them to save Blake. 

With an almost casual gesture, Daniel sliced the air with his finger, releasing an overwhelming aura that shook the very fabric of reality.

The atmosphere crackled with energy as the surroundings quivered under its might.

In an instant, a powerful force surged forth, cleaving the space itself.

The path of Daniel\'s slash manifested into reality, and before anyone could comprehend, Blake\'s body was mercilessly halved.

Shock and horror engulfed the witnesses, realizing that Daniel\'s strength was beyond comprehension.

The room fell into a hushed silence, broken only by the echoes of the devastating display of power that left everyone in awe of the true might of the enigmatic ruler.

\'\'What...?\'\'

It was his last word before he was killed mercilessly and if Daniel had never stopped his sword intent, the whole world would be split into half. After all, the sky has been split apart. 

Fortunately, only the mansion had been split and the areas around the mansion were not affected by his sword intent. 

Nevertheless, his fear caused the audience\'s jaws to drop to the ground.

They knew that Daniel was strong, but they didn\'t know how far and being able to have a glimpse of his power had killed whatever doubts they had about his strength. 

And now, their eyes were gazing at him with nothing but respect and at the same time, the fear towards him had increased. 

Meanwhile, the remaining two elders were gazing at the split sky with fear. 

\'\'T-That was a sword intent!\'\'

One of the elders said and he recalled that a cultivator who was able to develop sword intents could slash mountains with just a word. 

He had learned that sword intents had stages to it and there were 5 which were Awakened, Aura, Manifest, Harmonic and eventually the strongest form which is Realase.

The higher the stage, the more powerful it was and for the Elders, what Daniel had done was perhaps 3rd Stage Manifest, but they had never seen anyone manifesting the form of a blade as strong as him and that could only mean that Daniel had mastered the 5th form where they would not be shackled by their limits. 

Knowing this, the 2 of them couldn\'t help but tremble and wonder just what kind of monster they met in this city.
