249: Chapter 249 Four Emperors Shocked, Unparalleled Tenderness

"Rumble!"

Four terrifyingly powerful Auras erupted in the center of the hall.

This Aura rose into the sky without reservation.

The entire Blood Phoenix Ancient Palace shook violently.

The blood-colored array patterns on the ceiling let out a series of crackling sounds, unable to withstand the pressure.

The Four Heavenly Emperors—Heavenly Emperor Chi Guo, Heavenly Emperor Guang Mu, Heavenly Emperor Zeng Zhang, and Heavenly Emperor Duo Wen—knelt on one knee.

The fluctuations emanating from them were like four primeval volcanoes about to erupt.

Quasi-Immortal Kings!

And they were Quasi-Immortal Kings who had reached the absolute Peak, just half a step away from becoming True Immortals!

The entire place fell into a dead silence.

One could hear a pin drop.

The millions of dark powerhouses in the outer seats all widened their eyes.

Countless people gasped.

Their scalps tingled.

It was as if their blood had completely frozen at this moment.

"This... how is this possible!"

A veteran Great Emperor was so frightened that he slid right off his seat.

He slumped on the ground, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

"Four Quasi-Immortal Kings!"

"Such terrifying combat power is enough to sweep through more than half of the Dark Great Realm!"

A True Immortal powerhouse nearby swallowed repeatedly.

He stared intently at the four towering figures, his eyes nearly bulging out.

"Just how deep has the Blood Phoenix Clan hidden itself?"

A storm of shock, suppressed to the extreme, swept through the crowd.

Everyone was completely awed by this sudden display of foundation.

Inside the White Bone Palace on the island in the center of the lake.

The atmosphere became even more solemn.

Supreme Giant Rong Men suddenly sat up straight.

From his bronze-bell-like eyes, a terrifyingly sharp light shot out.

"Phoenix Extreme Heaven!"

Supreme Giant called him by name, his voice carrying an undisguisable shock.

"You old fellow, you actually gathered such terrifying combat power without a word!"

He stared fixedly at the Four Heavenly Emperors below.

Stormy waves surged in his heart.

With four Quasi-Immortal Kings working together, their potential was frighteningly high.

If one or two of these four broke through to become Immortal Kings.

Along with Phoenix Extreme Heaven himself.

The strength of the Blood Phoenix Immortal Domain would undergo a world-shaking change.

It might even directly threaten the status of his Sunken Immortal Domain!

Supreme Giant Huan Xing's face was also dark.

He tightened his grip on his starlight wine cup.

*Crack.*

Another fine crack appeared on the surface of the wine cup.

Supreme Giant took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Phoenix Extreme Heaven truly has impressive methods."

Supreme Giant spoke in a low tone, filled with a complex meaning.

"These four were once members of the Ancient Heavenly Court."

"They are proud and unruly."

"That you could make them submit so wholeheartedly truly makes me look at you in a new light."

Immortal King Zai Zun, sitting at the end, didn't even dare to breathe loudly now.

He lowered his head.

His heart was filled with extreme wariness.

Any one of these four was no weaker than him.

If the four of them joined forces, he would definitely be killed on the spot.

Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor Phoenix Extreme Heaven sat on the main seat.

He took in everyone's reactions.

He was extremely pleased in his heart.

This was exactly the effect he wanted!

Flexing his muscles.

Intimidating the heroes.

"The two Daoist brothers overpraise me."

Phoenix Extreme Heaven laughed heartily, his face glowing.

He waved his hand, feigning modesty.

"These four brothers abandoned the darkness for the light; it is simply following the will of heaven."

Phoenix Extreme Heaven stood up.

He walked to the edge of the hall, looking down at the Four Heavenly Emperors.

"The reason I chose them to go to the Xuanhuang Great World..."

"...is not just because of their combat power."

Phoenix Extreme Heaven turned his head and looked at Ancient Ancestor Qing Xuan of the Immortal Palace, who was sitting in the seat of honor.

"Brother Qing Xuan."

Phoenix Extreme Heaven's tone became extremely solemn.

"These four were originally beings nurtured by the Xuanhuang Great World."

"The Aura of that world is etched into their Origin marks."

He revealed the secret behind it in one sentence.

"By having them descend across worlds..."

"...the rejection from the Xuanhuang Great World's fragmented Heavenly Will will be reduced to a minimum!"

"They are the best candidates to go to Xuanhuang and find the Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The several giants in the hall suddenly realized.

Supreme Giant Rong Men slapped his thigh.

"So that's how it is!"

Supreme Giant laughed out loud.

"You old fox, your calculations are truly brilliant!"

"When native beings return, the backlash from the world is negligible."

"This is indeed the best way to break the deadlock!"

Supreme Giant also nodded slightly in agreement.

Ancient Ancestor Qing Xuan of the Immortal Palace sat on his chair.

His expression remained as calm as water.

Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Palace glanced at the Four Heavenly Emperors below.

"Since you have made full preparations..."

Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Palace spoke slowly, his voice cold.

"...then I shall lend you a hand."

He agreed very readily.

"After the banquet, I will join forces with you."

"We will forcibly tear open the boundary wall of the Xuanhuang Great World and send the four of them to the Lower Realm."

Phoenix Extreme Heaven was overjoyed to hear this.

He hurriedly raised his wine cup.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Qing Xuan!"

Phoenix Extreme Heaven raised his wine cup high.

"Everyone!"

His voice was loud and clear, spreading throughout the entire Crimson Cloud Spirit Lake.

"Today we form an alliance to seek the Heavenly Court Ruins together!"

"Drink this cup to the full!"

"Respect to the Ancient Ancestor!"

Millions of powerhouses below shouted in unison.

The sound waves shook heaven and earth.

The grand assembly then reached its conclusion.

The sound of musical instruments played once more.

Beautiful dancers danced gracefully on the lake's surface.

Everyone drank and enjoyed the dance, and the atmosphere was lively.

Phoenix Extreme Heaven sat on his throne.

On the surface, he chatted and laughed with the several giants.

But in his heart, he was roaring wildly.

"Phoenix Supreme Art!"

"As long as I obtain the Phoenix Supreme Art, I will surely rule the world!"

He clenched his fists, determined to obtain that supreme art.

...

Meanwhile.

Xuanhuang Great World.

Northern Desolation of the Eastern Region.

This place was once a barren land where spiritual energy was exhausted and nothing grew.

But now.

A world-shaking transformation had taken place here.

The Su Family Ancestral Land was located here.

Magnificent immortal mountains rose from the ground.

Dense spiritual energy turned into a literal white mist, swirling among the mountains.

Above the sky, phantoms of True Dragons and colorful Phoenixes circled and flew.

The speed of the Su Family's rise shocked the entire Xuanhuang Great World.

The current Su Family's foundation was unfathomable.

It was now fully capable of rivaling those ancient immortal clans that had been passed down for countless eons.

And on the outskirts of the Su Family Ancestral Land.

Longevity City.

This city, built as a dependency of the Su Family, was now an absolute Holy Land famous throughout the Xuanhuang world.

The city was bustling with traffic and people, prosperous to the extreme.

In the sky, dense swarms of flying treasure ships blotted out the sun.

Countless powerhouses from major forces, carrying mountain-like piles of heavy gifts.

They formed a long queue outside Longevity City.

"Hurry up in front!"

A Sect Old Ancestor in the Great Emperor Realm was sweating profusely with anxiety.

He held a jade box filled with ten-thousand-year-old immortal herbs in his hands.

"I've been waiting in line here for three whole months!"

He shouted loudly.

"I'm just hoping to see the Su Family Ancestor!"

A Holy Lord in front of him sneered.

"What's three months?"

That Holy Lord looked disdainful.

"I've been in line here for half a year, and I haven't even figured out which way the Su Family's gate opens."

He lowered his voice, his tone full of fanatical awe.

"What kind of person is the Su Family Ancestor?"

"He fought two against one and nearly killed two dark Immortal Kings!"

"That is a truly invincible existence!"

The surrounding Cultivators all nodded in agreement.

Su Xuanchen's name was now like thunder in the Xuanhuang Great World.

Countless top forces were scrambling to make his acquaintance.

There were even many ancient immortal clans that proactively sent the most beautiful Saintesses of their clans.

Only asking for them to be a maid serving tea and water for Su Xuanchen.

But without exception.

They were all rejected by Su Xuanchen.

He didn't even bother to pay attention to these sycophants.

At this time.

Deep within the Su Family Ancestral Land.

Inside an extremely quiet and elegant villa.

A spiritual spring gurgled.

Rare spiritual flowers emitting strange fragrances were planted all around.

Su Xuanchen, in a loose white robe, leaned lazily on a soft jade couch.

He toyed with a crystal-clear spiritual fruit in his hand.

A casual, slightly roguish smirk hung on the corner of his mouth.

Beside him.

Gu Wushuang was blushing, her head lowered as she tidied her skirt.

Today she was wearing a water-blue long dress.

The fabric was extremely form-fitting.

It outlined her extremely proud and curvaceous figure to perfection.

Especially the breathtaking fullness at her chest.

It rose and fell slightly with her breathing.

It was almost impossible to look away.

"Wushuang."

Su Xuanchen spoke slowly.

He took a bite of the spiritual fruit, his tone full of teasing.

"It's been a while since we last saw each other."

His gaze scanned Gu Wushuang's body without reservation.

"Your figure has become more and more plump."

Su Xuanchen laughed softly.

"It seems the food in the clan is quite good."

Hearing such blunt and explicit teasing.

Gu Wushuang's pretty face instantly turned bright red.

It even reached her crystal-clear earlobes.

"Husband!"

Gu Wushuang stomped her foot in shame and anger.

She gave Su Xuanchen a coquettish glare.

"You are the dignified Su Family Ancestor, why are you always so improper!"

She bit her red lips, her hands twisted together.

"I don't know how many people outside revere you like a god."

Gu Wushuang mumbled softly.

"If they saw you like this, their jaws would drop."

Su Xuanchen laughed heartily.

He casually threw the remaining fruit core into the spiritual spring.

"Those people outside know nothing."

Su Xuanchen curled his lips indifferently.

"I've worked so hard to Cultivate and fight to the death."

He said matter-of-factly.

"Isn't it just so I can lie down peacefully at home and flirt with my own wife?"

Before he finished speaking.

Su Xuanchen suddenly reached out his large hand.

He grabbed Gu Wushuang's slender, fair wrist.

"Ah!"

Gu Wushuang let out a cry of surprise.

She didn't have time to react.

Her whole body was pulled by an irresistible force.

She fell directly into Su Xuanchen's broad and solid embrace.

Su Xuanchen took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her slender waist.

He held her tightly on his lap.

The hot breath of a man instantly surrounded Gu Wushuang.

"Let me go..."

Gu Wushuang's heart pounded like a drum.

She was so embarrassed that even her neck turned a shade of pink.

Her hands pressed against Su Xuanchen's hard chest as she made a symbolic struggle.

"It's broad daylight; if someone were to walk in..."

Gu Wushuang's voice was as thin as a mosquito's buzz.

It was soft and had no deterrent effect at all.

Su Xuanchen lowered his head.

His nose almost touched her cheek.

He greedily sniffed the intoxicating fragrance on her body.

"This is my territory."

Su Xuanchen's voice became a bit raspy.

It carried a very domineering sense of possessiveness.

"Without my permission, who dares to step foot into this villa?"

He tightened his arms.

Making the two of them press closer together.

Gu Wushuang felt that scorching heat.

Her body couldn't help but soften a bit.

Knowing she couldn't break free, she had a sudden idea.

"Ling Shuang!"

Gu Wushuang quickly brought up reinforcements.

"Ling Shuang just said she was going to get some spiritual tea and will be back soon!"

She tried to use Gu Lingshuang to threaten Su Xuanchen.

"If Ling Shuang sees us like this, how will I ever face anyone again!"

Gu Wushuang was so anxious that tears were almost falling.

When Su Xuanchen heard this.

Not only did he not let go.

Instead, he laughed even more wantonly.

"Ling Shuang?"

Su Xuanchen raised an eyebrow.

"If she's back, then that's just right."

He leaned into Gu Wushuang's ear and blew a puff of hot air.

"I don't mind you two sisters serving me together."

This sentence was shameless to the extreme.

Gu Wushuang was completely stunned.

Her beautiful eyes widened, looking at this brazenly shameless man in disbelief.

"You... you rogue!"

Gu Wushuang was overwhelmed with shame and anger.

She raised her small fist and lightly thumped Su Xuanchen's chest.

This threat clearly failed to work.

Su Xuanchen put away the joking expression on his face.

He looked at the infinitely shy beauty in his arms.

His gaze became extremely gentle.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Gu Wushuang's soft long hair.

"I've neglected you during this time."

Su Xuanchen said softly.

His tone carried a deep apology.

The previous trip to the Primeval Secret Realm was fraught with danger.

After returning, he was busy handling the clan's complex affairs.

Meeting messengers from various forces and setting up the Family's defensive array.

He had indeed neglected his wives and concubines in the back courtyard.

Hearing these gentle words.

The shame and anger in Gu Wushuang's heart instantly vanished.

Her eyes turned slightly red.

She obediently leaned against Su Xuanchen's shoulder.

"As long as husband is safe and sound."

Gu Wushuang's voice was soft.

"What does it matter if Wushuang suffers a little neglect?"

Su Xuanchen's heart warmed.

He mind was made up.

Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he wouldn't let anyone disturb his good time.

Su Xuanchen swept Gu Wushuang up in his arms.

He strode toward the inner chamber.

"Husband..."

Gu Wushuang buried her face in his chest, not daring to look at anyone.

A roguish smile appeared on the corner of Su Xuanchen's mouth.

He planned to take advantage of this rare leisure time to share tenderness with Gu Wushuang.

To completely make up for the neglect caused by the Primeval Secret Realm trip and clan affairs.
