"What... what do you want??"
Seeing Ye Xuan approaching, the son of the King of Beiliang, Ji Ruofeng, was so scared he was about to wet himself. Damn it, even the fifth-tier Void Ancestor expert from the King's mansion was no match for him, so what was he, a mere first-tier Void Ancestor, worth?
"I'm telling you, my father is the King of Beiliang! Even the Galactic Emperor has to show him some respect. If you dare to touch me..."
*Slap~!*
Before Ji Ruofeng could finish, Ye Xuan had already slapped him. This first-tier Void Ancestor, a mere vase, posed no challenge to him. He had to kill at least three Dao Ancestor powerhouses from the King of Beiliang and the King of Pingtian anyway, so the son of the King of Beiliang was of no consequence.
"Pfft~~"
Zhuge Ming, watching from the shadows, had his eyeballs nearly pop out. He looked at Ye Xuan as if he were a monster. "My god, is this Ye Xuan crazy? What a guy!"
"He just hits the son of the King of Beiliang whenever he pleases!"
"But... honestly, this guy's cultivation breakthrough is too fast."
Licking his lips, Zhuge Ming couldn't help but recall what happened at the Guiyuan Sect before. "Back at the Guiyuan Sect, Ye Xuan was only an eighth-tier Venerable. Now he's already soared to third-tier Void Ancestor."
"Moreover, when he was an eighth-tier Venerable, he could already contend with Elder Ding of the Luotian Alliance, whose combat power was comparable to a second-tier Void Ancestor. Now that he's entered the third-tier Void Ancestor, his combat power..."
"Wouldn't that be at least comparable to a fifth-tier Void Ancestor, or even stronger?!"
"My heavens, if someone like this were the Galactic Emperor's prince, then their future Galactic Empire might even become a Galactic Immortal Kingdom."
Thinking of this, Zhuge Ming seemed to have some thoughts about the Emperor. However... when did Emperor ever have such a powerful illegitimate son? There was no warning at all.
This talent was truly terrifying!
As Zhuge Ming said this, if Ji Wutian were to know, who knows if he would slap Zhuge Ming to death. Illegitimate son, my ass!
That's my sworn brother!
Do you understand, sworn brother!!
Of course, the scene in the field didn't end there.
After slapping Ji Ruofeng away, Ye Xuan suddenly produced a spatial ring in his hand. "Scram. Next time you want to make a move on me, remember to prepare more wealth."
"Pfft~"
Hearing Ye Xuan's blatant provocation, Ji Ruofeng spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted, either from anger or from being too heavily injured.
"Kid, you've offended my King of Beiliang's mansion, you're dead!!"
At this, the fifth-tier Void Ancestor from the King of Beiliang's mansion took Ji Ruofeng and fled, leaving behind a stunned and terrified crowd.
What the heck!
This kid is a madman and a bandit who doesn't fear death!
First, he extorted the Fentian Holy Land, then the Deng Guogong of the Wanyue Empire, and now the son of the King of Beiliang of the Galactic Empire. His deeds are beyond condemnation.
They could already imagine the furious reaction of the Fentian Holy Land and the Wanyue Empire, but most importantly, the King of Beiliang, when they learned that their son had been robbed on their own territory!
Moreover, the King of Beiliang was currently plotting to ascend to the throne of Emperor. If such an incident occurred at this time, he would have no choice but to act!
..........
In the deep palace hall of the Galactic Imperial Palace.
*Swish~*
A figure appeared in the hall. This person was none other than Zhuge Ming, who had been watching Ye Xuan.
Arriving at the hall, Zhuge Ming bowed respectfully. "Your Majesty!"
"Oh!?"
"How is that young man?"
Ji Wutian, seated on the Emperor's throne, was clearly in excellent condition, just one step away from the peak of the third-tier Dao Ancestor. Forget about being unwell, he could live for thousands more years without any problem.
And the young man he was referring to was none other than his sworn brother, Ye Xuan.
Hearing this, Zhuge Ming's mouth twitched. My heavens, His Majesty is too direct and doesn't even try to hide it. It seems that the matter of Ye Xuan being His Majesty's illegitimate son is confirmed!
Zhuge Ming mused, but if Ji Wutian knew, who knows if he would crush him with a single hand.
"Cough cough... Your Majesty, just now, the Ye Xuan you asked me to keep an eye on had a conflict with an elite disciple of the Fentian Holy Land, a super sect of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, and then..."
After that, Zhuge Ming recounted what had just happened. Upon hearing Zhuge Ming's words, Ji Wutian's expression became colorful, or rather, astonished.
Good heavens!
He easily defeated Fan Wuxin, ranked eighth on the Earthly Ranking of the Fentian Holy Land, then annihilated Deng Guogong of the Wanyue Empire, and then slapped the son of the King of Beiliang, openly robbing three parties!
Could this sworn brother of mine truly be my good omen? These three forces were all not very friendly to the Galactic Empire.
"Heh heh, good, I understand."
The smile on his face was undisguised, which made Zhuge Ming's heart tremble. Indeed, was Ye Xuan's relationship with His Majesty not simple? Was that a look of joy and satisfaction?
Could it be... Ye Xuan was invited to the Imperial City by His Majesty?!
Thinking of this!
Zhuge Ming's heart trembled even more. Damn it, in that case, is His Majesty planning to counterattack after being dormant for over a year~!!
"You may withdraw."
With a wave of his hand, Ji Wutian was in an unusually good mood. Even the troublesome rebellions by the King of Beiliang and the King of Pingtian had been swept away.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhuge Ming bowed and withdrew from the hall. After a while, the entire hall fell silent, with only Ji Wutian sitting alone on the Emperor's throne, gazing into the distance. "My sworn brother truly isn't afraid of things escalating."
"However... in this chaotic situation, it might not be a bad thing."
Ji Wutian's eyes narrowed slightly. He couldn't help but recall the scene of the three great forces of the Jiang clan ambushing him before. Since they chose to make a move, they had to pay the price.
The Jiang clan and the Azure Empire couldn't be moved for the time being, but that Heavenly Serpent Hall!!
Thinking of this, a murderous glint flashed in Ji Wutian's mind. After parting ways with Ye Xuan, Ji Wutian had used his intelligence system and learned that not a single person among those who ambushed him had returned to their respective factions; they had all vanished into thin air.
It was at that time that Ji Wutian knew that his sworn brother's mystery was far more terrifying than he had imagined, because he had already guessed that more than ninety percent of the experts from the three factions had been eliminated by the power behind his sworn brother.
Otherwise, the Jiang clan wouldn't be so calm now. After all, if they knew that the ambush on him had failed, they would have joined the rebellion of the King of Beiliang.
"Old Ancestor of the Ji family, it's about time for some movement after so long."
Thinking of this, Ji Wutian sent a message to the depths of the Galactic Imperial Palace. As expected, in the next moment, the numerous old ancestors of the Galactic Empire in the depths of the Galactic Imperial Palace could no longer hold back. A baptism of blood was inevitably about to occur.
