84: Emperor of the Dynasty (Part 4) Li Fanqing

"Not good!"

Inside Qin Tian's Sea of Consciousness, the [immortal ancient continent ceiling experience voucher] bobbed up and down.

For anything that dared to attack Yun Xi...

There was only one outcome.

Death!

"Tian'er, what's wrong? Why is your Aura fluctuating so wildly?"

A familiar voice of concern rang in his ear.

Qin Tian was startled and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

The stunning figure standing beside him—who else could it be but Yun Xi?

"Revered Master, weren't you...?"

"Ah! Little Xi Xi, why are you here?" Hua Jianjia hopped over to Yun Xi's side, her Face full of surprise.

Even if Yun Xi was strong, it should have been impossible for her to hide from a group of Reflection Realm experts and appear here silently, right?

Wait!

If Yun Xi was here, then who was the one being attacked?

Everyone was suddenly shocked and looked up into the sky.

A heart-palpitating chill enveloped a blurry figure, seemingly about to tear it completely to shreds... It was impossible for someone in the Reflection Realm to withstand it.

However.

An expression of extreme astonishment appeared on Han Zhi's Face, his bared fangs looking somewhat hideous.

He could feel that while the chill seemed as fierce as ever, it had actually long since slipped from his control.

Someone had directly stripped him of his power!

"What are you waiting for? Kill her!"

"If you wait any longer, the Great Qian Empress will successfully incorporate the Golden Body and complete her Breakthrough!"

You Ruoli didn't know what was happening; she only knew that during this brief delay, the Will of the People Golden Body had finished condensing.

She directly drew it into her body and began the Fusion.

By now, she had successfully incorporated ten percent... "Damn it!"

Chi Wei was enraged and let out a roar. Blood-red malevolence filled the air, transforming into thousands of ghost shadows that charged forward.

"Tear her to pieces!"

The roar shook the heavens and earth.

However, in the next moment.

The endless chill vibrated, actually freezing all those blood-red ghost shadows before they instantly shattered into dust... "Han Zhi, what are you doing!!!" Chi Wei shouted in anger.

"Shut up!"

Tian Ling spoke in a cold voice, looking ahead with a Face full of wariness.

"It's him..."

"Heh, you little sheep, you actually still remember me."

The chill dispersed, revealing a true form.

It was a middle-aged man.

The first impression he gave was one of being ordinary—extremely ordinary.

His appearance was unremarkable, his clothes were unremarkable, and even his Aura was unremarkable.

If placed in a crowd, one wouldn't give him a second glance.

Yet, it was precisely such a man who, after revealing his true self, made the three Imperial Heavenly Monarchs tremble in unison.

"Grandmaster?"

Qin Tian spoke out in surprise.

This ordinary man was the Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect—

The unremarkable Li Fanqing.

[Name: Li Fanqing

Realm: Creation Realm

dao seed: Mortal Grass (Unranked)

Dao Fruit: Mortal Transformation

]

"Mortal Grass..."

Qin Tian murmured, having a sudden realization. "So, one can actually pluck a Dao Fruit and become a Heavenly Monarch with such a dao seed..."

"Your Grandmaster just sent me a divine transmission, asking me to give him an excuse to act," Yun Xi said with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"He has always liked to be reasonable and doesn't like doing things without a proper cause."

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile. "So, that's why Revered Master went to stop those three Heavenly Monarchs?"

Yun Xi nodded. "Your Grandmaster seems to hope that the Immortal Ancient Continent will have one more Imperial Heavenly Monarch."

Qin Tian raised his eyes and looked into the sky.

The three Heavenly Monarchs were still frozen in place.

Li Fanqing smiled. "What's the matter? Silent now? Don't like to talk?"

"When you were attacking my disciple just now, you certainly seemed aggressive and had plenty to say!"

Tian Ling steeled himself and stepped forward. "Senior, we have an old grudge with the Imperial Lineage. We ask that Senior, out of respect for my father's Face, does not intervene..."

"Your father, eh? The leg of lamb he treated me to last time did indeed taste quite good." Li Fanqing seemed to be reminiscing.

"Originally, for the sake of that leg, I should have made things convenient for you."

"However, I only have this one beautiful disciple."

Li Fanqing's tone gradually turned cold.

"Yet you wanted to kill her!"

"Truly, what audacity!"

The Faces of Tian Ling, Han Zhi, and Chi Wei stiffened simultaneously.

They were not stupid.

To be able to cultivate to the level of Heavenly Monarch, every single one of them was sophisticated and clever.

Li Fanqing didn't appear earlier or later, but chose to show himself exactly when Han Zhi attacked.

If this wasn't entrapment, what was it?

He was using the excuse of standing up for his disciple to secretly protect the Great Qian Empress!

The hateful thing was, they didn't dare to say anything against it... Tian Ling still remembered that deep-seated, unforgettable fear.

In his youth.

His father, who seemed omnipotent in his eyes, had been hunted for ten million miles.

In the end, most of his body was removed to serve as a snack for Li Fanqing... Although they were all Creation Heavenly Monarchs.

The difference in strength was like night and day.

Li Fanqing was definitely not someone the three of them could handle.

"Since Senior has stepped forward to protect the Great Qian Empress, then the three of us shall take our leave."

Tian Ling cupped his fists, preparing to depart.

"Stop!"

Li Fanqing's eyes darkened slightly. "I have always been a man of reason."

"You bullied the weak and tried to kill my beautiful disciple."

"And now you want to leave with just a word?"

"How can there be such a cheap deal in this world!"

Tian Ling, Han Zhi, and Chi Wei were jolted.

"It seems Senior intends for a fight to the death today..."

"A fight to the death?"

"You aren't qualified."

Li Fanqing raised his hand.

Without any fancy tricks, he gave a simple, unremarkable press downward.

Boom!

In half a heartbeat.

Tian Ling and the other two Creation Heavenly Monarchs crashed heavily into the ground, prostrate and unable to move even a fraction.

"Between Heavenly Monarchs, strength depends on the Dao Fruit. Your Grandmaster's Dao Fruit is among the strongest even in the Immortal Ancient Continent," Yun Xi explained slowly.

Qin Tian smiled slightly.

"In the future, when Revered Master breaks through, you will surely be the strongest too."

Hearing this, Yun Xi's mind faltered for a moment.

A Breakthrough... In this life, there probably won't be a chance... "Perhaps."

Qin Tian's thoughts stirred. 'Why do I feel like Revered Master has something on her mind?'

Before he could think further.

In the air, Li Fanqing spoke again.

"You bunch of old fogies, if you keep hiding and don't come out, these three will lose their lives!"

"Wait! Don't act yet!"

The space rippled again, and two figures stepped out simultaneously.

"Fa... ther..." Tian Ling raised his head with difficulty.

"Un... cle..." Han Zhi did the same.

"Brother Li, the three of them have received their punishment. How about we let today's matter rest?"

Li Fanqing didn't answer, instead sweeping a cold gaze over an empty spot.

"Do I have to drag you out myself?"

Everyone was stunned. There were more people?

"Brother Li's spiritual sense is indeed astonishing."

Sword Qi radiated in all directions as an old man with an eight-foot wide blade on his back stepped out from the Void Realm.

"Junior Martial Uncle!" Qin Ming's breath hitched.

"Sword Burial Valley." Li Fanqing's Face darkened.

The old man stroked his beard. "Heh, originally I just came to watch the fun, but now that Brother Li has appeared, my sword-hand has become a bit itchy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man stood opposite Li Fanqing.

"Li Fanqing, it's been thousands of years. I've missed you dearly!"

A dragon carriage sped from the horizon, and inside sat a majestic man.

"Ancient Emperor Holy Land. Your Imperial Lineage is closely related to them, yet I didn't expect you to be the last to arrive." Li Fanqing sighed softly.

"Heh, who said he was the last?"

Tinkling laughter rang out as ten thousand flowers bloomed in the air, and a stunning figure stepped out from among them.

Hua Jianjia's Face fell. "Junior Martial Aunt?"

"Reinforcements?" Qin Tian was curious.

Yun Xi said with some embarrassment, "Hua Xianrui from the Floating Cloud Immortal Palace. She... she was supposed to be your Grandmaster's wife..."

Qin Tian's mouth dropped open.

Holy cow, you mean this is Grandmaster's ex-girlfriend?

"Li Fanqing, it's been so long. Did you miss me?" Hua Xianrui's voice was somewhat seductive.

"No."

Qin Tian: "..."

Hua Xianrui: "..."

"Stinky man! You're really asking for a beating!"

Ten thousand flowers bloomed and petals fluttered, sweeping toward Li Fanqing.

"Attack!"

A low growl came from the dragon carriage of the Ancient Emperor Holy Land, and a dragon seal blasted forward.

The old man from Sword Burial Valley and the elders of Tian Ling and Han Zhi's generation all struck at the same time!

One against five!

No matter how you looked at it, it was a massive disadvantage...!
