57: My senior is known for being fast; you'll get used to it!

Shen Nian's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present was a Cultivator, so they all heard it clearly.

For a moment, the entire venue fell silent.

The Martial Temple crowd looked at the White-robed Figure, their expressions somewhat dazed, while the Demon Suppression Division and Martial Temple Disciples showed looks of admiration.

"Lord Shen's words are truly... domineering!"

Whether it was Great Xia or Eastern Profound, whoever came would die. Regardless of whether Shen Nian could truly achieve it, his mere imposing aura was enough to shock them.

In just this short time, many people had been deeply impressed by Shen Nian.

Yuan Hong was also moved, his aged body trembled, his eyes reddened as he looked at Shen Nian, unable to suppress his excitement.

"It's done."

"Just based on this one sentence, this old man dares to assert that Her Highness the Princess's Senior Brother is far more than just a chief Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

If anyone else had said such words, he would have surely given them a big slap and asked them why they were so boastful.

But he was a nineteen-year-old Soul Transformation Cultivator who, in the blink of an eye, comprehended the Yao Race Bloodline Divine Ability he had once acquired!

This Comprehension Ability, this talent!

You say he's the chief of the Ninth Mountain of the Heavenly Sword Sect?

He's probably the Legacy holder of some transcendent Human Race Family!

Even if he wasn't, taking ten thousand steps back, with his talent, it wouldn't be long before he could walk freely in Great Xia. With a strong expert presiding over Great Xia, how much worse could it get?

"Henceforth, the status of our Great Xia will no longer be so difficult!"

"At least Her Highness the Princess will no longer act timidly, when Great Xia couldn't offer any help..."

"Her Highness the Princess has suffered for so many years, it's finally getting better..." Yuan Hong sighed with emotion, as if his body had straightened a bit.

How could he not be excited? Great Xia had declined, enduring humiliation for years in the cracks between the Three Sects and the Yao Race. Xia Youyue's emergence once gave everyone hope, a glimpse of Great Xia's rise.

But in the end, it was mercilessly crushed.

Although Her Highness the Princess still displayed unparalleled talent, the time required for Great Xia to rise was too long, too long. With internal and external troubles, Xia Qiankun's actions became more frequent, and the Yao Emperors from the Yao Race grew stronger. Her Highness the Princess was unwilling to join any Eastern Profound force, and without backing, Yuan Hong didn't know how much longer Great Xia could hold on.

But now, it was different.

Because Her Highness the Princess was no longer alone. Great Xia couldn't protect her Dao, but Shen Nian could!

He had just guessed that Shen Nian, who could even kill the Xuan Guang Cave Master for a Junior Sister in the Foundation Establishment Stage, not hesitating to completely break ties with Xuan Guang Cave, must be an extremely protective person.

But he worried that Her Highness the Princess was strong-willed and wouldn't speak up first. Moreover, the Princess had only left the Imperial Capital a short while ago, and her interactions with Shen Nian must not have been long, so he couldn't be sure.

But after hearing Shen Nian's words, Yuan Hong was completely relieved.

"No matter which Dao lineage?" The Female Yan Emperor's soft laugh echoed in Xiao Qinger's mind. Although there was a hint of mockery on her face, a trace of admiration appeared in her golden eyes.

"He certainly has some of the imposing aura of an invincible Human Race expert, but I wonder where his confidence comes from."

"Is it because of the Shen Family?" The Female Yan Emperor thought to herself.

Xiao Qinger listened to the Female Yan Emperor's voice in her mind and couldn't help but reply.

"Can't Senior Brother's confidence come from himself?"

Upon hearing this, the Female Yan Emperor was stunned for a moment.

That's right!

With his Cultivation speed and terrifying combat power, what else did he need?

In front.

Xia Qiankun listened to these words, terrified and motionless. He had thought that since Yue Qingguang died by his hand, Xuan Guang Cave wouldn't just sit idly by. He couldn't defeat Shen Nian, but Xuan Guang Cave could.

However, now, listening to the other party's tone... even the super forces of Eastern Profound were not in his eyes!

Who exactly was he!

How did he come to Great Xia, and how did he take a liking to Xia Youyue?

Didn't she lose her supreme bone? How could she be favored by a force like this!

I refuse to accept this!!

Although Xia Qiankun was roaring inwardly, sweat streamed down his face uncontrollably, and his departing steps grew faster and faster.

"Senior Brother..." Xia Youyue turned to look at Shen Nian, somewhat incredulously, only to see Shen Nian nod.

Xia Youyue clenched her jade fist, an unusual feeling welling up in her heart. She felt incredibly secure, and although they hadn't known each other long, she genuinely believed that whatever Senior Brother said, he would do.

Immediately, her gaze fell upon Xia Qiankun, killing intent surfacing, but she had already made a decision in her heart.

"It's enough to know that Senior Brother doesn't disregard me, his newly initiated Junior Sister!"

"Although I really want to kill this scoundrel Xia Qiankun, I can't rely entirely on Senior Brother. If I can't even deal with Xia Qiankun, how can I talk about invading the Heavenly Demon Realm and slaying the Demon Emperor?"

"What's more, I have the Heaven-Controlling Bottle, such an immortal item. As long as I have enough Spirit Medicine to Cultivate, my breaking through Realm speed won't be slow..." Xia Youyue's Divine Thought suddenly landed on the white porcelain bottle inside her body, emitting a Grandmist green light.

After her supreme bone was dug out, her talent wasn't actually that great. It was entirely thanks to this bottle that she was able to Cultivate to the Peak Golden Core stage at this age.

This was her biggest secret, unknown to anyone!

Her black hair danced lightly, and there was strong confidence in her brows.

Xia Youyue made up her mind, wanting to rely on her own efforts to personally deal with Xia Qiankun, and slowly said: "Senior Brother... I want..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

"Understood." Shen Nian nodded slightly.

A Divine Thought shot out abruptly, heading straight for Xia Qiankun.

Xia Qiankun, who was frozen in place, immediately trembled and quickly begged for mercy: "Your Excellency... I..."

But the next second.

Boom!

The sudden, vast might poured down. No matter how strong Xia Qiankun's physique was, how could he be a match for a Soul Transformation expert?

There was a major Realm separating them!

His legs went soft.

With a thud.

Xia Qiankun's formidable body directly knelt, his hands propped on the ground, his face pale, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

The physique he had honed for so many years was easily destroyed by this Divine Thought.

"This King... became a Mortal??" Xia Qiankun was instantly filled with confusion.

Everything happened too quickly, like a flash of lightning, leaving everyone in a daze.

"Senior Brother, that's not what I meant..." Xia Youyue was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile. Although she felt great seeing Xia Qiankun suddenly crippled, she also felt a bit strange.

Mainly, her meaning had been misunderstood.

Xiao Qinger whispered beside her, "Patrol... Junior Sister Xia, Senior Brother is notoriously fast, you'll get used to it."

Just like in the dilapidated temple, in the Huang Family, Senior Brother's actions were truly direct.

"???" Xia Qiankun looked up with a resentful expression, spitting out another mouthful of old blood.

Damn it!

Can't you let others finish their sentences!

That's not what she meant!

Shen Nian seemed to notice something, a flicker of embarrassment, then he spoke.

"I never like to procrastinate. Although this trash's physique is garbage, he's still a High Realm Hunyuan Grandmaster. Spanning a major Realm, it meets the standard I set."

However, his words caused Xiao Qinger, who was beside him, to pause.

"Huh?"

"Then why do I have to kill Yao across major Realms?"

"We're both Junior Sisters, how come my difficulty is so high?"

"Could it be that Senior Brother values me the most?"

Just as Xiao Qinger was lost in thought, the steward beside her stepped forward, knelt directly on the ground, cupped his hands, and said tremblingly.

"Your Highness the Princess, this humble one has an important matter to report!"

"These past years, I have endured hardships, only to collect the atrocities that King Qian has committed against our Great Xia. Listing them one by one would truly outrage both gods and men!"

"That scoundrel King Qian even wanted to marry Her Highness the Princess to the Azure Light Cave Master's Disciple as a concubine, in order to gain the Azure Light Cave Master's help to ascend the throne of Great Xia. It truly infuriates me!"

"Our Great Xia's Elder Princess, of such noble status, how could she be worthy of a mere cave master's Disciple? He truly deserves to die!!" The steward knelt on the ground, speaking through clenched teeth, as if his hatred for Xia Qiankun had seeped into his bones.

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have come.

Three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones a month, why am I risking my life for you?

"Please give Her Highness the Princess a chance, let me personally slaughter this old dog!!"

"Oh, and I also know where this old dog hid many of the imperial Family's secret Treasures..."
