“Puff, puff, puff!”
Just as Zhu Yuyan and several elders from the Holy Gate were preparing to present themselves to greet the esteemed senior, a sudden series of whooshing sounds filled the air. They looked up and gasped in astonishment.
Once the group of over ten people landed, Zhu Yuyan could no longer contain her shock, a wry smile creeping onto her lips.
As for the others, names like Magic Hidden Edge and Silver-Haired Enchantress Danmei sent shivers down their spines; they didn’t even dare to breathe.
It wasn’t that they lacked courage—those who mingled with the Holy Gate or the Demonic Path were all ruthless characters—but what unfolded before them was far beyond their imagination.
So much so that they felt an overwhelming sense of unreality.
If a Celestial Exile had appeared out of thin air, they might have been able to rationalize it, perhaps even feel a sense of curiosity. After all, who had ever seen a ‘celestial’?
But now, not only was there a Celestial Exile capable of flying, but there were also so many Qi Flight practitioners behind them. What was there to test?
If the Celestial Exile grew impatient, they could easily be swatted away like flies.
They all knew what had happened to Yuwen Huaji.
Moreover, that thunderous sound just now? They wouldn’t believe for a second that it had nothing to do with the Celestial Exile being tugged along by Wanwan.
With Wanwan floating forward like a feather and then gently landing, Ye Kai chuckled and said, “You must be the master of this girl. You’d better keep her in line; she’s been making such a racket along the way that my head is spinning.”
The crowd had already thought of numerous opening lines in their minds and were even hesitating about whether to bow in greeting. But unexpectedly, this great figure didn’t give them a chance to speak at all.
How should they respond to that?
Everyone turned their gaze toward the two most prominent figures among the six factions: Wanwan’s master, Yin Hou Zhu Yuyan.
“Senior, senior! You’re bullying Wanwan again! No more, no more…”
Ye Kai looked at Wanwan, who was tugging at his sleeve with an adorable pout. He playfully tapped her on the forehead and said with a grin, “You little girl! Not only did you pick a fight with me, but you also extorted several conditions from me. What are you up to now?”
“Don’t roll your eyes! The moment you do, I know you’re up to something!”
"Where would I have that? You're already a senior, and I can't possibly beat you..."
"Oh, then I'll take back those three conditions!"
"Senior, you're being unreasonable. You just like to bully girls, boohoo..."
...
Zhu Yuyan was stunned. Anyone who witnessed this scene was equally dumbfounded, all wondering how these two looked like a father and daughter bickering with each other.
Father and daughter?
Something felt off about that!
Everyone in the room was sweating profusely, yet their eyes revealed endless confusion.
Has the world changed too quickly?
After stumbling into the room, Zhu Yuyan finally came to her senses and cursed under her breath. As a prominent figure in the shadows who had navigated the martial world for decades, how could she lack such composure?
Then she heard.
"Senior, you're bragging. The Demonic Strategy is the top-tier technique of my Holy Gate. My master and I practice magic, and our Demonic Strategy is also one of the four great books of the martial world!"
Wanwan glared at Ye Kai with an indignant expression, but inside, she was bursting with excitement. She casually remarked, "Senior, you probably don't even know what the four great books are!"
Oh my goodness!
This girl really dares to say anything!
Do you even understand who you're dealing with?
That’s someone who can unleash terrifying thunder with just a wave of their hand—Celestial Exile!
"Is it really okay for you to pressure someone like that?"
Bian Bufu's face had turned pale.
The Silver-Haired Enchantress Danmei also wore a grim expression, forcing a stiff smile.
Zhu Yuyan felt a jolt at those words; her decades of cultivation were already fully summoned, ready to unleash a surprise attack at any moment.
"What four great strange books? They're just some... cough cough!"
Seeing Wanwan with a 'if you dare come out, I'll bite you' expression, looking fierce and ready to pounce, Ye Kai couldn't help but think she was adorable. However, he quickly changed his tone, "Alright, alright, let's go with your first request. Girl, you're too cunning; you're making my head spin."
"First, I want to know where the War God Codex is! Second, I want the Longevity Secret..."
"Wait, wait, wait..."
Watching Wanwan seriously fiddling with the shimmering Jade while chattering away, Ye Kai immediately lost his temper and exclaimed angrily, "You girl! Is this one request or are you throwing out three at once?"
Fortunately, he reacted quickly; otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble this quirky girl would stir up.
Zhu Yuyan's eyes twitched; she knew her most talented disciple all too well. But was this casual tone really appropriate?
Her palms were already sweating, so she hurriedly interjected, "Senior, Wanwan is still... not very sensible. Please be magnanimous..."
"Oh dear, Master!!!"
Wanwan also got flustered but soon understood her master's intention. However, how could she let go of such an easy opportunity?
So she immediately shot a glance while feigning a sorrowful demeanor, letting out a low sigh as if all her energy had drained away and the ethereal Halo around her dimmed.
"Smack!"
Ye Kai irritably tapped the forehead of this girl who was even more dramatic than an Oscar-winning actress and pretended to be angry. "Listen here! This Sect has agreed. If you want to be the emperor, we'll immediately drag that Yang Something Guang fellow down. From now on, you shall be the Empress!"
Puff!
Upon hearing such a shocking statement, Zhu Yuyan, who had been using her tea to mask her inner turmoil, immediately spat it out.
It wasn't just her; everyone else reacted similarly.
Except for a few like Alice No. 1, nearly everyone was left utterly dumbfounded by those words.
Wanwan, the Empress?
Was their thousand-year scheme at Holy Gate so easily within reach?
For some reason, a strange emotion surged within everyone—a mix of excitement and confusion, but more than anything, a sense of helplessness!
So what should they do next?
Indeed!
If Wanwan was already the Empress, then what were they supposed to do?
Looking at the room full of stunned statues, Ye Kai's lips curled into a slight smile. He knew that for this group, that statement was more shocking than anything else.
"Beep beep!"
Suddenly, a strange beeping sound broke the silence and jolted everyone back to reality, instantly putting them on high alert.
However, upon realizing that the sound came from Ye Kai, their curiosity was piqued once again. After all, with flying devices around, what could this new gadget be used for?
Not making them wait long, Ye Kai himself was also curious. Perhaps apart from his own people, only Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had video communicators in this world. So he quickly activated the three-dimensional projection.
"Master! Master! Please come save my mother; she's about to die!"
"Master, Ling is bowing to you; please hurry!"
Seeing the two boys, around sixteen or seventeen years old, crying uncontrollably, Ye Kai immediately asked the deity. Upon learning that Yuwen Huaji had severely injured Fu Junruo, his expression darkened and his voice turned icy as he said, "Don't worry, with the Master here, your mother will be absolutely fine!"
"God, immediately place Fu Junruo in the healing chamber and perform full-body restoration!"
"Understood, Lord God!"
...
A series of astonishing events plunged everyone in the room into chaos once again.
What kind of Divine Ability is this?
Able to see things from hundreds of miles away?
And so clearly?
Communication?
A deity?
Lord God?
Even Zhu Yuyan, who had navigated the martial world for decades, felt her heart racing in shock, let alone others like Bian Bufu and Dan Mei.
