"What? How is this possible?"

Duan Yanzhuo shouted, clutching his head, a look of anger and collapse on his face. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could there be such an outstanding man in this world? What kind of man is he, that I wouldn't even be fit to carry his shoes! I can't imagine it, I can't figure it out!"

On the other side, Yun Lan, with his back to the two of them, was constantly twitching at the corners of his mouth. This 'bald toad' had his brain completely blocked by muscles. He was just hopelessly stupid.

However, the next moment, Duan Yanzhuo seemed to have reacted, and his eyes lit up again: "I understand, I remember now, Senior Sister Ziwei, you told me the same thing last time. This person is simply someone you fabricated out of thin air, just to deceive me and make me give up on you..."

Ziwei Daoshou once again supported her forehead, thinking that she had lied to him before, but this time it was real.

"Senior Sister Ziwei, don't worry, I won't give up on you. I know this is your test for me. Don't worry, I will be tenacious. In this life, if I don't marry you into the Ren Sect and become Dao companions with you, I would rather remain single for the rest of my life, lonely until the moment of ascension!"

Duan Yanzhuo said firmly.

Hearing this, Ziwei Daoshou would be worried if she could relax. She even felt like dying.

Yun Lan, who was beside him, couldn't listen anymore and lowered his voice, making a deep and magnetic sound: "Hey, you two, how long are you going to flirt? Everyone is still waiting for the three of us down below!"

"Hmph, Junior Brother Yun, are you jealous because you see me and Senior Sister Ziwei getting so hot and heavy?"

Duan Yanzhuo said in a strange tone, "Or is it that your precious disciple was beaten to tears by Senior Sister Ziwei's disciple, making you hold a grudge against Senior Sister Ziwei?"

Hearing this, Yun Lan chuckled disdainfully: "Senior Brother Duan, I didn't expect you to be able to fit so many things into your brain. I thought it was completely blocked by muscles!"

Duan Yanzhuo scratched his bald head and looked at Ziwei Daoshou, asking, "Senior Sister Ziwei, do you think Junior Brother Yun is praising me or mocking me?"

"He mentioned muscles, so maybe he's praising me, but his tone is a bit strange, so it doesn't sound like a compliment."

"If you think he's praising you, then he's praising you. If you think he's mocking you, then he's mocking you. How the words are said is up to him, how the words are heard is up to you..."

Ziwei Daoshou said.

Duan Yanzhuo scratched his head: "Why does that sound so familiar? Eh? Didn't Junior Brother Yun just say that... You, you two, are you having an affair?"

Duan Yanzhuo widened his bull-like eyes, as if he had discovered some incredible truth.

Yun Lan looked impatient and gritted his teeth, saying, "I don't have time to fool around with you two. Business is important. Hurry down and preside over the Heavenly Pride Battle!"

"Hehe, so Senior Brother Yun still knows that the Heavenly Pride Battle is important business. I thought Senior Brother Yun only had romance on his mind!"

Ziwei Daoshou said faintly.

"Ziwei, what do you want to say?"

Yun Lan finally turned his head, his fair face revealing a hint of femininity.

He could tell that Ziwei clearly had something else to say.

"It's nothing, but with the great calamity approaching, shouldn't the three of us, as the three leaders of the Immortal Hidden World, be thinking of ways to deal with it?"

Ziwei Daoshou said calmly.

"Ziwei, what exactly do you want to say?"

Yun Lan's eyebrows furrowed, and his originally cold and expressionless face became animated.

"I want to say that we should organize manpower to resist the Heavenly Dao!"

Ziwei Daoshou said word by word, her tone firm.

"Resist the Heavenly Dao?"

Duan Yanzhuo was stunned, and then shook his bald head like a rattle: "No, no, no, Ziwei, it would be one thing if someone else said this, but how can you say such a thing? Don't you know how powerful the Heavenly Dao is? The three of us are at the pinnacle of the Immortal Hidden World, but in front of the Heavenly Dao, we are just three small fish. With our strength, how can we resist the Heavenly Dao?"

"Being unable to resist and not resisting are two different things!"

Ziwei Daoshou has always advocated resistance, which is also the fundamental reason why she was able to form an alliance with Chen Xiao in the first place.

And Duan Yanzhuo and Yun Lan are clearly different from her.

"How are they two different things? It's precisely because we can't resist that we choose not to resist. Ziwei, I know what you're thinking. Your ideas haven't changed for five hundred years. Is this kind of peaceful life not good? Do you have to seek death?"

Yun Lan asked in confusion.

"Senior Brother Yun's days of romance are indeed very good."

Ziwei Daoshou first said sarcastically, then changed the subject, "But, how long do you think you can maintain this kind of life?"

"This time the Heavenly Dao descends on the Nine Provinces again, how can you be sure that you can stay out of it and still ensure your safety, like last time?"

Ziwei Daoshou's question left Yun Lan speechless.

Duan Yanzhuo then said: "Ziwei, I think you're overthinking things. Our masters have already ascended and become Heavenly Humans. In the Heavenly Dao, they are all our own people. With them around, we will be fine, and maybe this is the opportunity for us to ascend!"

"You can ensure that you are fine, but what about your disciples? What about the other disciples of the Immortal Hidden World? What about those ordinary people? Can you guarantee that they will also be fine?"

"The opportunity for ascension you speak of is to offer them to the Heavenly Dao, right?"

Ziwei Daoshou stared at Duan Yanzhuo with icy eyes.

This bald head, with his body full of muscles, looks imposing, but in reality, when facing an opponent stronger than himself, he is a coward, not a man at all!

Compared to Chen Xiao, he really isn't fit to carry his shoes!

"What do those people have to do with us? You said it yourself, other disciples, ordinary people... Everyone for themselves, or heaven and earth will condemn them. Senior Sister Ziwei, you haven't understood the Supreme Emotionless state after these five hundred years!"

Duan Yanzhuo shook his head.

"It's useless to talk too much. Duan Yanzhuo, this is all you'll ever be. Even if you live longer, you'll still be a coward without balls!"

Ziwei Daoshou said contemptuously.

"Hey, Senior Sister Ziwei, what are you saying? What do you mean I have nothing? Do you believe I'll take off my pants right now and show you!"

Duan Yanzhuo was angry.

It's true that he wants to become Dao companions with Ziwei, but that has nothing to do with love, it's just out of the most primitive lust and possessiveness.

"If you dare to take off your pants, I'll cut off your thing with a sword!"

Ziwei Daoshou said in a cold voice.

She can say it and do it!

"Oh, I just don't believe it today, you try cutting it off!"

Duan Yanzhuo's temper flared up, and he was about to take off his pants.

"Enough, you two, how long are you going to fool around? Is this the mentality of the dignified Dao Leaders of the Earth Sect and the Human Sect?"

Yun Lan looked angry, "Ziwei, don't say those things anymore... I'm also doing this for your own good. In the face of reality, people always have to bow their heads!"

"Hehe, then I'd rather not be this kind of person!"

After saying that, Ziwei Daoshou jumped down from the front of the main hall.

Below the steps of the main hall, a group of transcendent figures were gathered together.

They are representatives from various large sects in the Immortal Hidden World.

They would naturally not be absent from the Heavenly Pride Battle, a grand event held every fifty years.

"Dao Leader Ziwei is here!"

"Greetings, Dao Leader Ziwei!"

"Dao Leader Ziwei is still as graceful as ever, truly enviable!"

As soon as Ziwei Daoshou appeared, there was a commotion in the crowd.

The next moment, Duan Yanzhuo and Yun Lan followed closely behind.

Everyone exchanged greetings, and the air was filled with a joyful and pleasant atmosphere.

In the crowd, an old man in a gray linen robe stood proudly, with boundless domineering in his eyes.

Seeing this person, Ziwei Daoshou's heart stirred, and she walked over.

"Ziwei of the Earth Sect, greets Senior Lin."

Ziwei Daoshou came to the old man and respectfully performed a Daoist salute.

Throughout the entire Immortal Hidden World, there are only a handful of people who can make Ziwei Daoshou so respectful.

And this old man is one of them.

This person is none other than Lin Batian, the old ancestor of the Batian Sect.

"Mm."

Lin Batian nodded, his voice cold, as a response to Ziwei.

At this time, Duan Yanzhuo also followed Ziwei's footsteps and chased after her, laughing loudly: "Hahahaha, Senior Lin, I didn't expect you to personally come to this year's Heavenly Pride Battle. I remember you never came to the previous ones!"

Lin Batian glanced at Duan Yanzhuo indifferently and said, "This old man heard that there's an interesting little fellow in this year's Heavenly Pride Battle, so I came to take a look."

"Interesting little fellow?"

Duan Yanzhuo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said, "I know, Senior Lin, you must be talking about my unworthy disciple, Duan Shikong... That's right, in this year's Heavenly Pride Battle, only my unworthy disciple has some highlights. As for the others, tsk tsk tsk, let's not mention them, let's not mention them..."

Hearing this, Yun Lan's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Because it was very clear that Duan Yanzhuo's words 'let's not mention them' were directed at his precious disciple, Yun Hao, the Holy Son of the Heaven Sect!

"Hehe, Senior Brother Duan is mistaken. The Holy Son of the Human Sect is indeed talented and powerful, but I think the one who will stand out in this year's Heavenly Pride Battle is another little fellow."

Just then, a gorgeously dressed, beautifully adorned woman with tinkling jewelry, swayed her hips as she walked over.

This woman is none other than Liu Yueru, the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and also Liu Rushi's master.

"I was wondering what was smelling so strong, it turns out that Junior Sister Liu has arrived!"

Duan Yanzhuo covered his nose with a look of disgust.

Liu Yueru wasn't angry and said with a charming smile: "Senior Brother Duan is still so fond of joking, but Yueru has grown up and is not as easily offended as before!"

"Hehe, Junior Sister Liu has indeed grown a lot."

Although Duan Yanzhuo looked disgusted, his bull-like eyes couldn't help but sweep over Liu Yueru's chest.

While scanning, he asked absentmindedly, "Junior Sister Liu, you just said that there will be another little fellow standing out in this year's Heavenly Pride Battle. Who exactly are you talking about?"
