112: I'm very curious about the pragmatist ancient phoenix.
Just as Nine Nether Lion was shamelessly preparing to bootlick, a domineering and unparalleled Geng Metal Killing Intent, seemingly capable of tearing through the Nine Heavens, soared from the depths of the Emperors Son Palace!
Roar!
A tiger roar that shook the ages resounded through the clouds, and a towering White Tiger avatar condensed and formed above the Emperors Son Palace.
The White Tiger was snow-white throughout, its Divine Might awe-inspiring. As its tiger eyes opened and closed, golden light burst forth and Killing Intent permeated the air, as if it were the Dominator of all slaughter in heaven and earth!
Under this terrifying pressure, even one as strong as Nine Nether Lion felt a suppression of his Bloodline!
This was an absolute suppression stemming from the very pinnacle of the life hierarchy!
That White Tiger avatar was an immortal among Divine Beasts, a born master of slaughter. Before the White Tiger Sacred Beast, these members of the Yao Race were just like subjects meeting an emperor, unable to muster even a shred of resistance.
A beautiful figure in white as snow slowly walked out from the depths of the Emperors Son Palace.
She had a peerless appearance and a cold temperament, surrounded by fierce and unparalleled Geng Metal Qi. With every step she took, it seemed as if a Dao of slaughter was evolving beneath her feet.
She had been in seclusion ever since Liu Shenyin visited to discuss the Dao of zither music that day, and now she had almost completely mastered the power of the White Tiger Saint Body.
"Husband." Bai Qingxue walked to Jiang Yuan's side, her cold eyes carrying a trace of imperceptible tenderness at this moment.
"Out of seclusion? How do you feel?" Jiang Yuan smiled and wrapped his arm around her slender waist.
"Very well." Bai Qingxue nodded. Her gaze turned to the group of shivering Yao Race members on the ground, and she frowned slightly. "Who are they?"
"The Heavenly Demon Palace came to deliver attendants," Jiang Yuan explained casually.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingxue withdrew her pressure.
Those hundred Yao Race women felt as if they had been granted a reprieve, gasping for air. The looks they gave Bai Qingxue were filled with awe and fear.
Even though the other party's cultivation appeared to be only at the 9th Realm Perfection, the suppression of her Bloodline made them feel as if they were facing a Saint!
The Bloodline suppression among the Yao Race was far more intense than among the Human Race.
"The Imperial Sons Consort possesses such Divine Might!" Nine Nether Lion recognized the young girl who was the newly promoted second place on the Prodigy Golden List and paid her a compliment, disregarding his own status as a Quasi-Emperor.
"Senior is too kind," Bai Qingxue replied calmly. There was no arrogance in her eyes because she knew that everything she had was given by Jiang Yuan. What right did she have to be arrogant?
As if thinking of something, Bai Qingxue looked at Jiang Yuan, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat complex.
"Husband, I just received a message from my clan. The Primordial Divine Mountain... the Phoenix Royal Clan has relinquished the position of Mountain Master."
"Oh?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "What happened?"
"The Phoenix Ancient Ancestor personally issued the order to depose the original Phoenix Ancestor and let my White Tiger Royal Clan... take over the Primordial Divine Mountain and become the new Royal Clan."
There was a trace of disbelief in Bai Qingxue's voice. She could never have imagined that the wish that had plagued the White Tiger Royal Clan for countless years—to be restored as a Royal Clan—would actually be realized in this way.
All of this was still thanks to the man before her! Her husband!
"That is a good thing," Jiang Yuan nodded. "It seems that the Phoenix Ancient Ancestor is a smart person."
This made him even more curious about what kind of person the Phoenix Ancient Ancestor was. After all, the White Tiger Royal Clan didn't even have a Quasi-Emperor. And would the Jiang Family start a war with an Ancient Emperor just because of an Imperial Sons Consort?
"I would like to... return for a visit." Bai Qingxue looked at Jiang Yuan, a trace of pleading in her beautiful eyes.
The White Tiger Royal Clan had just become a Royal Clan, and there must be many internal matters that needed to be handled. As the White Tiger Goddess, she could return with the prestige of being the Jiang Family's Imperial Sons Consort to help her father maintain control and suppress dissent.
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
"Is that okay?"
"Of course," Jiang Yuan replied with a smile, his eyes flashing.
It was the perfect opportunity to get to know what kind of person that sensible Phoenix Ancient Ancestor was. After all, she was a female powerhouse in the intelligence provided by the First Ancestor, and Jiang Yuan was still very curious.
Nine Nether Lion, who was on the side, heard their conversation and rolled his eyes. He quickly crawled up and said with a beaming smile, "Imperial Son, Imperial Sons Consort! How can you go to the Primordial Divine Mountain without an honor guard? Little Lion is willing to lead the hundred clans of my Heavenly Demon Palace to clear the way for the two of you! To bolster the Divine Might of our Jiang Family!"
This guy was quite a clever one. Jiang Yuan glanced at him and smiled. "Granted."
Meanwhile, the Jiang Family Imperial Son, Jiang Yuan, was set to visit the Primordial Divine Mountain with his newly promoted White Tiger Saint Body Imperial Sons Consort, Bai Qingxue!
Furthermore, Nine Nether Lion, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace—also one of the Life Forbidden Zones—would personally lead the elites of the hundred clans to serve as their honor guard!
This news, the very moment before Jiang Yuan had even left the Jiang Family's territory, swept across the entire Emperor Immortal Great World at an incredible speed!
In an instant, countless factions throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms were shaken!
"The Heavenly Demon Palace is acting as an honor guard for the Jiang Family Imperial Son? Is that Nine Nether Lion crazy? He is a Quasi-Emperor, after all. Has he lost all shame?"
"Shame? What is shame worth? Didn't you see the fate of the Sea of Death? Compared to your life, shame is worth nothing! I think that Nine Nether Lion is the smartest one. He is determined to latch onto the Jiang Family's thigh!"
"It is said that the Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Palace has long since fallen, which is why they are so desperate. Now it seems this matter is likely true!"
"A Life Forbidden Zone acting as an honor guard... This spectacle, even if a true Great Emperor were to tour, it wouldn't be much more than this, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense. There has never been a Great Emperor whose tour had a Life Forbidden Zone willing to act as an honor guard."
The Jiang Family Imperial Son has done something for the first time in history, achieving something that even a Great Emperor has never done!
Outside the Emperor Immortal Great World, in the endless Void Realm, Chaos Qi surged. The wills of awakened Ancient Emperors collided and communicated in corners where no one could spy.
"Ancient Emperor Wanlong, Emperor Zangtian, you have felt it too?" A cold Divine Thought stirred ten thousand acres of waves, resembling both sea and soul.
"Nirvana Emperor, why ask when you already know?" Deep within the Myriad Dragon Nest, a pair of golden dragon eyes, larger than stars, slowly opened. "The Jiang Family's brat has gone to back up his new lackey."
"Hehehe... Interesting, truly interesting." Inside the Burial Heaven Tomb, a black stone coffin vibrated slightly. The Emperor Zangtian, withered like a skeleton, let out a dry laugh. "A second-ranked White Tiger Saint Body, and that spineless fellow Nine Nether, the Heavenly Demon Palace's face has been completely lost by him. If the Demon Supreme were still able to move, I wonder if he would slap that spineless trash to death."
"He is too impatient," the Extreme Sentiment Demon Emperor of the Primordial Demon Cave said with a trace of disdain in his voice. "With his wings not yet fully grown, he dares to be so ostentatious. Does he really think that with those old things from the Jiang Family protecting him, he can sit back and relax?"
"We do not need to pay him any mind; I fear this brat will bring about his own destruction."
However, deep within the Nirvana Sea, that cold Divine Thought became increasingly icy. "If this brat does not die, there will be endless trouble! He can stir up the wind and clouds before even reaching the Supreme realm. If he is allowed to achieve the Quasi-Emperor realm, or even Attain the Dao as a Great Emperor, you and I, the Forbidden Zones, will never know peace again! Now that he has left the Jiang Family, this is the perfect time to kill him!"
The Killing Intent was undisguised. A Peak Ancient Emperor had actually developed a desire to kill a junior.
This was no wonder. Nowadays, the Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Palace was nearly fallen; let alone pushing to the limit of sublimation, whether he could even make a move was a major problem.
The Sea of Death had already been exterminated by the Jiang Family. As for the slightly stronger Primordial Divine Mountain, that cunning Phoenix had actually chosen to abdicate and let the White Tiger Royal Clan rule the mountain?
What was the White Tiger Royal Clan? They were the Jiang Family's relatives. Letting them rule was tantamount to handing the Primordial Divine Mountain over to the Jiang Family!
Rounding it up, the last three of the Nine Great Life Forbidden Zones had fallen into the hands of the Jiang Family. Wouldn't his next target be himself?
How could the sixth-ranked Nirvana Sea not be anxious? Even this Ancient Emperor meeting had been initiated by him.
"Seconded." The Emperor Zangtian's voice carried heavy Killing Intent. He remembered the deaths of the two Ancient Emperors, Zang Tian and Hun Tian, perfectly! This brat Jiang Yuan, he must kill him!
"Let ten Ancient Emperors go forth, or if not, twenty. I want to see if those old fogies of the Jiang Family can protect their precious little gem!"
"Whether the arms of that Great Emperor Hengyu are long enough to dare to exterminate us all!"
"I do not believe that he would fight us for the sake of a dead son, cutting off his own imperial path!"
