282: Today, fight here!

Open the gate of the Sect Leader Pavilion.

As Changsun Zilan was about to leisurely inspect the Sect, her beautiful eyes narrowed as she saw an Old Man who had been standing in front of her pavilion for an unknown amount of time.

The Old Man was draped in a wide, white-gold robe, and his long white beard accentuated his weathered face, making him appear more benevolent.

Those eyes, which had witnessed countless events and seen through countless people, revealed an unspeakable excitement upon seeing Changsun Zilan.

Changsun Zilan was very surprised by this Old Man.

He was not from the Tianwei Sect.

But if he was an outsider, how could he have crossed the Hell Yama Array without a sound?

Unless... his strength was already so great that it surpassed the Dharma Aspect Realm Great Expert from the Divine Domain who came last night!

"Child, it's time to go home!"

The Old Man's emotional state made it hard to tell if he was crying or laughing.

These words contained too much heartache, worry, and irretrievable guilt.

Hearing this, Changsun Zilan understood a little.

This was someone from the Divine Domain...

"It's time for me to go home too."

Changsun Zilan took a deep breath.

There was no need to hesitate; what belonged to her needed no avoidance.

Led by the Old Man, Changsun Zilan followed him outside the Sect.

After seeing the scene outside the Sect, she was also slightly stunned for a moment.

Only to see.

In the entire sky as far as the eye could see.

A large group of Martial Arts experts, clad in white-gold Grade A armor, like Heavenly Soldiers, seemed to have been waiting here for a long time!

"Clang, clang, clang!!"

Amidst the loud clashing of metal, there were over a hundred thousand Martial Arts experts, kneeling on one knee in perfect unison: "Greetings to Saintess Zilan! Welcome Saintess home!"

"Greetings to Saintess Zilan! Welcome Saintess home!"

The majestic voices scattered the clouds and echoed throughout the surrounding Cities!

Many spies from major powers, observing the scene in the sky from afar, were all deeply shaken.

...

Divine Domain.

What was the Divine Domain like?

People only knew that it was the most powerful force in the Ling Sheng Continent!

Following the benevolent Old Man, Changsun Zilan ascended to the Nine Heavens and stopped before a terrifying space portal.

Passing through the space portal.

Dense spiritual energy, like a vast ocean, surged forward, enveloping her entire body!

"Boom!"

As her spiritual energy unconsciously circulated, Changsun Zilan's Realm increased by one level, reaching Martial King second layer Heaven!

Looking ahead.

One after another, radiant halls and palaces seemed like the most noble region in this World!

In this World above the Nine Heavens, the endless void and Chaos were above their heads.

Further on the horizon, stood statues imbued with Dao rhyme.

Those towering trees whose roots hung down into the Nine Heavens added a touch of ancient history to the Divine Domain!

"Screech!"

A shocking cry of wind emerged from the Chaos above her head.

Changsun Zilan subconsciously looked up.

It was an ethereal Phoenix spirit body, which, as it flew, brought with it beautiful radiance.

"Rumble~"

Amidst the loud explosion of air, a White-Haired Old Man carrying a long spear suddenly appeared.

"Is this really Feng Di's Child?!"

The long spear White-Haired Old Man looked at Changsun Zilan and asked the benevolent Old Man beside him with a trembling voice.

The Old Man beside Changsun Zilan nodded slightly: "The Purple Phoenix Body can be transplanted, but the Bloodline will not change."

"It's true, it's really Feng Di's Child."

The long spear White-Haired Old Man's emotions were indescribable.

However, thinking of what had happened in the Divine Domain during the Old Man's absence, the long spear White-Haired Old Man clenched his fist and said: "Domain Lord, those few guys are firmly on Jiang Zilan's side, and they even... released Jiang Nan, who was under house arrest."

"It has come to this step after all."

The Old Man sighed deeply.

It seemed he had already had a premonition about all of this.

"Let's go, let's see."

The White-Haired Old Man took a step and walked forward.

Divine Hall.

One of the most noble places in the Divine Domain.

As the Old Man ahead entered the Divine Hall, Changsun Zilan could see three White-Haired Old Men, a woman, and Jiang Zilan, who was staring at her with eyes filled with fury, within the hall.

The moment Changsun Zilan appeared.

Everyone in the Divine Hall focused their gaze on her.

"Why did you bring her here? She doesn't even have the Purple Phoenix Body, on what basis do you say she is the Saintess? On what basis!"

Jiang Zilan was emotionally agitated and shrieked directly.

It was clear.

After being brought back to the Divine Domain by Uncle Zhang yesterday, the events of the night had made it extremely difficult for her to calm down even now.

Seeing Changsun Zilan appear here, she became even more like a madwoman.

An Old man with a cane sitting next to Jiang Zilan looked at the Old Man in the white-gold robe and said: "Domain Lord, Lan'er has lived in the Divine Domain for twenty years. Just because she is Xu Tianyun's Child, are we going to directly remove her Saintess status?"

"Putting aside Xu Tianyun, she is also the Child of Jiang Nan, the previous generation's Saintess of our Divine Domain."

"Enough!"

The Old Man holding the long spear had a murderous look in his eyes: "We've raised someone else's Child for so many years, and they are now enjoying themselves somewhere, not knowing where they are!"

"After knowing she is the Child of an enemy, our Divine Domain has not killed her. Just removing her Saintess position is already the greatest mercy!"

"Are you really that heartless? Twenty years of feelings..." Among the three White-Haired Old Men, a stooped Old Man said hoarsely.

"Boom!"

A surge of aura erupted, golden light flowed in the spear-wielding Old Man's pupils, and the long spear in his hand pointed at the three White-Haired Old Men in the hall: "Who is truly heartless?!"

"Feng Di's Child has been wandering outside for twenty years, and upon returning to the Divine Domain, your attitude is so chilling!"

"Alas~"

Another White-Haired Old Man in the Divine Hall sighed: "No one wants this, one can only say... fate plays tricks on people."

While the entire Divine Hall was in a tense and solemn stalemate.

The Old Man in the white-gold robe looked at the woman in the hall and said to the three White-Haired Old Men: "Why did you release Jiang Nan?"

The Old man with the cane spoke up at this moment: "After so many years, mother and daughter should meet, both emotionally and logically, right?"

"Did I say you could release Jiang Nan?!"

Suddenly, the Old Man in the white-gold robe's voice carried an overwhelming aura.

The few people in the Divine Hall had flickering eyes for a moment, unsure how to respond.

"Father, this is my fault, blame me if you must. Hong'er is innocent, how can she bear such a blow if you abolish her Saintess position?" The sickly beautiful woman in the hall sobbed softly.

Hearing this, the white-gold robed Old Man's expression remained unchanged, but he fell into deep silence.

Only now, having roughly understood the series of events, Changsun Zilan finally spoke to Jiang Zilan in the hall: "In this World, the strong are respected."

"You and I will fight. The winner stays, the loser leaves. How about it?"

Changsun Zilan's words drew the focused gazes of several Dharma Aspect Realm Great Experts in the hall.

"You want to fight me?"

Jiang Zilan showed a look of surprise.

Challenging her, wasn't this exactly what she wanted?

She was a Peak Martial Emperor existence! An absolute genius who completely crushed her peers!

"Domain Lord, I think the method proposed by this young woman is feasible!"

The three Old men in the Divine Hall all nodded at this moment.

The spear-wielding Old Man, however, looked considerably displeased.

"I accept!"

Jiang Zilan crossed her arms: "You decide the time and place."

"Just today, fight here."

Changsun Zilan showed a somewhat inexplicable smile.
