"Presumptuous!"
Seeing his father-in-law, Lin Cangqiong, injured, Dugou Qingcang’s piercing eyes fell on Qin Wentian, the ancestor of the Xuanming Holy Land. "Xuanming Holy Land, how dare you!!"
"Oh?"
Seeing Dugou Qingcang's angry expression, Qin Wentian naturally paid no attention. In fact, he was quite pleased.
"What, angry?"
"I didn't realize the Emperor of Southern Yue had such a temper~"
Qin Wentian sneered. Since the facade had been torn down, he no longer held back. "If I kill you two here today, the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom and the Nine Nether Holy Land will surely fall into chaos. And then..."
"I will uproot both of your forces. Just thinking about it makes me excited~"
Qin Wentian, of course, had no idea that all of this was part of the plan of Dugou Qingcang and Lin Cangqiong. The bait they provided was far superior to the two of them.
A cold glint flashed in Dugou Qingcang's eyes. Even though he knew this was their plan, hearing Qin Wentian's words still made him uncontrollably furious.
He understood very well that if this truly happened, the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom, including the Nine Nether Holy Land, would be doomed.
Obviously!
At this moment, whether it was Dugou Qingcang or Lin Cangqiong, they had already developed a strong killing intent towards Qin Wentian and Yuwen Ruohai!
Although Lin Cangqiong did not speak, his sharp gaze said it all.
"Is that so!"
Dugou Qingcang narrowed his eyes. "Qin Wentian, do you two truly believe you have the situation under control and have us both cornered?"
"Or... are you not curious why my father-in-law and I would leave the Southern Yue Immortal City so easily at the same time?"
He paused, then continued, "Could it be that you truly believe that my father-in-law and I were only here for Xiao Yi?"
"Heh, since you wish to hasten your deaths, then I shall grant you your wish!"
"Ancestor Jianchen, I'll trouble you next."
Following this, Dugou Qingcang's lips curved into a smile. However, these words struck Qin Wentian and Yuwen Ruohai like thunder, sending their hearts leaping into their throats.
Dugou Jianchen!
This was a joke! They knew this name all too well. He was the second-ranked ancestor of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom, second only to the strongest ancestor, Dugou Muyun.
Eighth-tier Immortal Lord!
That was indeed Dugou Jianchen's strength. The strongest ancestor of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom was at the peak of the eighth-tier Immortal Lord realm. It could be said that the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom was only one step away from becoming an eighth-rank force, as the minimum requirement for an eighth-rank force was to possess a ninth-tier Immortal Lord!
This was also the most crucial reason why the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom did not fear the Xuanming Holy Land!
After all, the principle of "strength reigns supreme" would never change!
However, for the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom, it was different. In their eyes, the Xuanming Holy Land was not that strong.
"Heh, for you to bully my Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom's Emperor like this, do you truly think our Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom has no one?"
A calm voice fell, and a figure exuding a terrifying aura appeared in the field. Following closely behind were numerous old ancestors and powerhouses from the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom and the Nine Nether Holy Land. Without exception, all of them were Immortal Lords. The number of people present was over sixty. It was clear that they had attached great importance to this "Mi Tian" plan.
However!
It had to be said, the gains were quite substantial. Two fifth-tier Immortal Lords were enough for him to come here personally.
"Dugou Jianchen!"
"Damn it, it's really him! This!?"
Qin Wentian's mood plummeted. What a joke!
Dugou Jianchen was a renowned figure, an eighth-tier Immortal Lord, someone they had to look up to. How many years had it been? He remembered the last time he appeared was thirty thousand years ago.
"In recent years, the Xuanming Holy Land and the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom have become increasingly presumptuous."
"Since you two wish to suppress me with your power, then I shall let you taste the feeling of being suppressed by power."
Over sixty Immortal Lord powerhouses immediately sealed off the surroundings, cutting off all escape routes for Qin Wentian and Yuwen Ruohai's factions. It could be said that they were now surrounded.
They had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice. Not only had they failed to assassinate Dugou Qingcang and Lin Cangqiong, but they had also gotten themselves into trouble.
Rumble~
A sky-obscuring giant hand appeared in the void. In the next moment, it sealed off the area around Qin Wentian and the other powerful figures. Then, the sky-obscuring giant hand rapidly closed in. Even before it reached them, the terrifying pressure caused Immortal Elder-level cultivators to explode into bloody mist with a bang.
They didn't even have time to scream!
"Bastard!"
Yuwen Ruohai's expression turned icy, his heart filled with despair. "Dugou Jianchen, if you dare to touch us, are you intending to start a war with my Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom and the Xuanming Holy Land?"
"A war?"
Hearing Yuwen Ruohai's words, Dugou Jianchen's gaze fell upon him. "If the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom and the Xuanming Holy Land wish for war, then so be it."
His calm words reached Qin Wentian and Yuwen Ruohai's ears, causing their faces to turn pale. What did they just hear? So be it? What was going on??
Since when had the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom become so powerful!!
Dugou Jianchen looked at the two of them, a sneer on his lips. "Also, this is not my decision. It is the intention of Old Ancestor Muyun."
"Dugou Muyun!!!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wentian and Yuwen Ruohai's hearts grew even heavier. They didn't believe that someone like Dugou Jianchen would lie.
This meant!
This was true...
"Moreover, let me give you some good news."
"Old Ancestor Muyun has now broken through to the peak of the eighth-tier Immortal Lord realm and has also reached the peak of the ninth-tier Immortal Lord."
Boom~!!!
Hearing Dugou Jianchen's words, Qin Wentian and Yuwen Ruohai's minds went blank. They instantly lost the ability to think. Their first reaction was, "How is this possible?"
Yes!
They simply could not believe this information. The peak of the ninth-tier Immortal Lord was absolutely impossible.
Because, with someone at this level, even among eighth-rank forces, they would be considered mid-tier. After all, at this level, every small step forward was as difficult as climbing to heaven.
"Ancestor Jianchen, is this... true!?"
Dugou Qingcang was stunned at this moment. His eyes narrowed as he suddenly recalled the [Heaven Grade·Immortal Breaking Pill] and the mysterious blood essence given to him by Ye Xuan.
Dugou Jianchen nodded slightly upon hearing this. This simple gesture almost made Dugou Qingcang jump with excitement.
Good heavens!
The peak of the ninth-tier Immortal Lord! Has Old Ancestor Muyun become that powerful already?
With this, their Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom would truly have nothing to fear from the Xuanming Holy Land, let alone the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom.
Lin Cangqiong also narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. The Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom and the Nine Nether Holy Land were as close as siblings. Their Old Ancestor reaching the peak of the ninth-tier Immortal Lord was undoubtedly a hundredfold benefit to their Nine Nether Holy Land.
"This is indeed good news."
Lin Cangqiong muttered. Just then, Lin Cangqiong also received a message from the Holy Land, and his expression trembled. "What, this is... Old Ancestor Xiaoyao, he's at the peak of the eighth-tier Immortal Lord!?"
