125: Chapter 125 Confrontation with the People of the Great Yue Kingdom

"Damn it, I've become a popular commodity now," Xiang Tian frowned.

"Every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants a piece of me."

Princess Zhou Zhiyan stepped forward, her gaze locking sharply onto the person in front.

"The Crown Prince of the Dayue Kingdom, you can't even be bothered to pretend anymore."

Having had his identity exposed, Yue Wuhen raised an eyebrow. His gaze fell upon Princess Zhou Zhiyan, who had walked out from the crowd, and a burning light instantly ignited in his eyes.

With exceptional talent in Cultivation and an incomparable, breathtaking beauty, added to her status as royal nobility—such a woman was exactly the ideal partner he had dreamed of.

"Zhi Yan, you are here too. Have you considered becoming my Crown Princess?"

"Yue Wuhen, you certainly have a high opinion of yourself," Princess Zhou Zhiyan sneered.

"My Old Ancestor has already betrothed me to Xiang Tian; he is now my fiancé."

As she finished speaking, she walked straight to Xiang Tian's side and, without the slightest hesitation, reached out to take his arm.

Xiahou Yun, standing to the side, saw this, frowned slightly, but remained silent.

Xiang Tian was left speechless. This woman clearly had no good intentions; she was pushing him into a pit of fire!

Yue Wuhen narrowed his eyes, sweeping his gaze over Xiang Tian.

"Oh? Your fiancé is this brat? That's perfect. I only need to strip away the Dragon he has bound, and let's see what he has left to compare with me!"

With that, he turned his head to look at the few experts in black attire beside him and shouted in a deep voice, "Do it!"

He himself stepped back, retreating to a safe zone.

"Hey, hey, hey, you've been making a scene for quite a while now; do you have no regard for the Heavenly Sword Sect at all?"

Just as the experts from the Dayue Kingdom were poised to strike, a cold, clear female voice rang out. Ouyang Qing walked out calmly with a group of Junior Sisters, her aura fully unleashed.

Yue Wuhen's expression changed drastically, his brows locked tight. "You... you are from the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

Now he was in big trouble. It was common knowledge that the Dayue Kingdom and the Heavenly Sword Sect were not even on the same level. Any Elder from the other side could easily annihilate his entire Dayue Kingdom.

"While I haven't lost my temper yet, take your people and get out," Ouyang Qing said coldly, her body already faintly emanating Sword Qi.

Yue Wuhen fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. This was the only Opportunity for the Dayue Kingdom to rise. If he missed it, he didn't know how many more hundreds of years he would have to wait.

He steeled his heart, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Do it! We have more people, what the hell are we afraid of!"

Ultimately, greedy for the Opportunity, he forced himself to give the order.

"Very well. You are the Crown Prince of the Dayue Kingdom, right? You brought this upon yourself." Ouyang Qing's eyes sharpened as her figure suddenly soared into the air, a cyan longsword hovering before her.

The next second, the longsword split into shadows—one, two, three... in an instant, it transformed into ten cyan swords, circling around her in a ring.

The cyan Sword Qi surged violently, shooting straight into the clouds from the circle of swords, with a terrifying momentum.

Such an earth-shattering display quickly attracted several groups of people lurking not far away.

"Quick! There's the sound of fighting over there; that brat Xiang Tian must be there!" "Charge! Don't let him run away!" Several teams of people galloped toward them.

"This is the Green Lotus Sword Technique! You... you are Ouyang Qing? Oh no!" Yue Wuhen was deeply shocked, his face turning pale instantly.

Such a top-tier sword technique was definitely not something their small kingdom's forces could contend with.

As the words fell, the cyan Sword Qi that had shot into the sky suddenly changed direction, pouring down upon the people of the Dayue Kingdom like a rainstorm.

It was not a single beam, but thousands of fine, fragmented sword shadows. The "shoo-shoo-shoo" sound of them piercing the air was extremely piercing.

"Ahhh—!" As the Sword Qi fell, screams rang out one after another.

Several Men in black immediately shielded Yue Wuhen in the center and shouted urgently, "Quick, protect the Crown Prince! Everyone, activate the jade seal together!"

In the palm of one of them appeared a palm-sized, white, crescent-shaped jade disk. It was the Dayue Kingdom's national treasure, the jade seal.

The other Men in black immediately synchronized their Spiritual Qi, injecting it into the jade disk. The jade seal instantly erupted with brilliant white light, forming a solid barrier.

"Clang! Clang!" The cyan Sword Qi landed on the barrier, emitting crisp sounds of metal colliding. It was actually blocked for the time being.

"Thankfully, we held it," the leading Man in black breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said to Yue Wuhen, "Crown Prince, we can only hold them off temporarily. You must quickly notify the Old Ancestor; perhaps there is still room for negotiation!"

At this moment, the cyan Sword Qi covered a radius of several hundred meters, and Yue Wuhen had no way to escape. If he showed his head, he would be shot into a sieve, so he could only nod with a deathly pale face.

"Sister Qing, your strength is too strong; you're almost at the Saint Realm, right!" Ouyang Yunze and the others watched, dazzled and mesmerized, praising her repeatedly.

"Don't celebrate too early." Ouyang Qing frowned slightly, her tone grave. "The commotion here is too big; we shouldn't fight for long. We can't afford to waste time."

She had never expected that Yue Wuhen would carry the jade seal with him. Although this treasure was not as good as the Heavenly Sword Sect's ultimate treasures, it was enough to delay them.

"Don't forget about me!" The Fish Fairy stepped forward and threw the jade seal in her hand into the air. The jade seal grew larger against the wind, carrying a heavy pressure as it headed straight to cover the barrier of the jade seal.

"Oh no... Pfft!" Under the double pressure, the blood and Qi of the Men in black surged. The leader spat out a mouthful of blood, and the white light of the barrier dimmed a little.

"Your Highness, quickly contact the Old Ancestor!" the Man in black urged urgently. Yue Wuhen tremblingly took out a cyan jade token and roared at it: "Old Ancestor, save me!"

"Hmm? Wuhen?" A hoarse and majestic voice soon came from the jade token. Yue Wuhen dared not delay and explained the current situation at lightning speed.

"How preposterous! Even if the other side is the Heavenly Sword Sect, they dare to touch the people of my Dayue Kingdom?" The Old Ancestor's angry shout came from the jade token. "Immediately force out a drop of essence blood to summon my Divine Sense Clone!"

Yue Wuhen dared not hesitate. He gritted his teeth, forced out a drop of bright red essence blood, and dripped it onto the jade token. "Whoosh!" An aged phantom shot out from the jade token, surrounded by the pressure of the Saint Realm. It was the Divine Sense Clone of the Dayue Kingdom's Old Ancestor.

"Presumptuous!" The Old Ancestor's phantom waved its hand, and a majestic power of moonlight swept out. The white light of the jade seal instantly surged several times over. The jade seal that The Fish Fairy had sacrificed was shaken away on the spot, falling back into her hand. The Fish Fairy let out a muffled groan and also spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Ouyang Qing immediately retracted the Green Lotus Sword Technique, her expression grave. A Divine Sense Clone of the Saint Realm, even with limited power, was definitely not something she, a Martial Emperor, could contend with.

"You have such great audacity, daring to harm my descendant!" The Dayue Kingdom's Old Ancestor's Divine Sense looked around and scolded sternly.

"You old rascal, it's just a Divine Sense Clone, and you dare to be arrogant here?" Ouyang Qing suppressed the surging blood in her body and met his gaze without fear.

"Hehe, the younger generation these days really know less and less about showing respect to a Saint." The Old Ancestor sneered, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. "If I kill all of you here, the Heavenly Sword Sect might not be able to find out that it was me!"

Although he dared not confront the Heavenly Sword Sect head-on, he did not believe that he would leave any traces after silencing them.

"You old rascal, you are looking down on my Heavenly Sword Sect too much." Ouyang Qing sneered and slowly raised her hand, a transparent orb appearing in her palm. "Do you see what this is?"

"A Recording Stone?" The Old Ancestor's brows locked tight, and his face instantly sank. As a Saint, even if he could retreat unscathed after the incident, if the Recording Stone recorded everything and the Heavenly Sword Sect held them accountable, the entire Dayue Kingdom would face an impending catastrophe.

"Old man, what do you have to say now?" Ouyang Qing's expression was calm, but in reality, her heart was pounding. This was a high-stakes gamble, betting that the other party would ultimately swallow this bitter pill for the sake of the Dayue Kingdom's survival.

The Old Ancestor was silent for a long time, but ultimately suppressed his killing intent. He gritted his teeth and said, "Very well, you are all very good. I will let you go."

As the words fell, he suddenly channeled all his Divine Sense power and roared, spreading it crazily in all directions. "Everyone in the Phantom God Forest, the Dragon you are searching for is right here!"

This roar pierced through the dust and Sword Qi, spreading for hundreds of miles. All the galloping teams of people heard it clearly.

"Holy crap! So the fight just now was really for that Dragon!" "Quick! Faster! Don't let others get there first!" "We should have guessed it was for the Dragon; charge!"

In an instant, the teams from all directions became even more frantic, swarming toward the direction of Xiang Tian and the others.
