“Strongest Eight-Year-Old Divine Ancestor ... ”
As soon as Ximen Piaopiao spoke, it instantly shocked the crowd, drawing countless gazes toward him, all reflecting a hint of astonishment.
Even the Huaqing Immortal King could not help but show a flicker of surprise on his face. He looked at Ximen Piaopiao and smiled lightly, saying, “It is said that the Ximen Emperor traveled the world in his youth and met a captivating woman, resulting in an illegitimate child left to wander. Could that be you?”
The matter of the Ximen Emperor was perhaps unknown to some of the lower-tier individuals in the immortal realm.
However, for the powerful figures standing at the top of the immortal realm, it was hardly a secret.
This incident had caused quite a stir back then, but it eventually settled down.
An illegitimate child?
Ximen Piaopiao nodded calmly and replied, “Indeed, that is me.”
The Huaqing Immortal King chuckled, “Now this is getting interesting. But do you really think that Xuan Hong and the others can stop me?”
Although Xuan Hong was at the peak of the Celestial King Realm in cultivation, the Huaqing Immortal King had reached the half-step Celestial Sovereign level.
The difference was like a chasm.
Once he made his move, the power he unleashed would be something Xuan Hong could not withstand.
As for the other Celestial King Realm experts from the Ninefold Celestial Gate, they were merely at the early and mid-stages of the Celestial King cultivation; thus, Huaqing Immortal King did not regard them as a threat at all.
“There’s also me.”
However, after Huaqing Immortal King’s voice fell, it was followed by Sword King Muqu, the leader of the Famous Sword Sect.
She cast a faint glance at Ximen Piaopiao, her eyes revealing only a hint of mild surprise. There was no significant change in her demeanor; she simply did not expect this young man to have such an identity.
The Master of the Ninefold Celestial Gate, a descendant of the Ximen Emperor, was indeed a remarkable figure.
However, compared to the one beside him, Ye Fan, he seemed to fall short.
"You?"
The Huaqing Immortal King cast a casual glance at Sword King Muqu and said, "In a contest of peak strength, your involvement as a mere member of the Famous Sword Sect is quite unwise. Moreover, even if you join forces, do you really think you can stop me?"
"The gap between a Celestial King at peak and a half-step Celestial Sovereign is something you seem completely unaware of. I advise you not to overestimate yourself."
Even if Xuan Hong and the Sword Queen of the Famous Sword Sect teamed up, adding the Primordial Immortal King to their ranks would still not change the fact that facing the peak existence of the Three Great Immortal Kings Realm would leave them with little hope. The Huaqing Immortal King had absolute confidence in defeating them all in a very short time.
Moonlit Melody's expression remained cold, showing no signs of fear as she said, "If we don't try, how will we know we will definitely lose? As for whether my involvement is wise or not, that is my own business. If our sect allows its disciples to be taken away right under our noses, who would dare to join the Famous Sword Sect in the future?"
"Well said, Sword Queen." Upon hearing this, the Huaqing Immortal King was not angered; instead, he couldn't help but praise Sword King Muqu.
The several powerful figures from the Ninefold Celestial Gate and those from the Celestial Mansion Realm turned their gazes toward Xuan Hong after hearing Ximen Piaopiao's words.
"Xuan Hong, the Immortal King, what should we do now?"
With their strength, they were somewhat aware of the rumors surrounding the Ximen Emperor from years past. Now with Ximen Piaopiao holding the Nine Cloud Token, they were at a loss for what to do.
Xuan Hong looked at Ximen Piaopiao and took a deep breath before whispering, "What should we do? The young master holds the Nine Cloud Token; his commands are those of Emperor Ximen. We must obey."
Xuan Hong shouted loudly, "Everyone, follow Young Master Ximen's orders and protect Ye Fan."
With the command given, Xuan Hong stepped forward and appeared in front of Ximen Piaopiao, slightly cupping his fists in salute as he said, "Xuan Hong pays his respects to Young Master Ximen."
Regardless of whether Ximen Piaopiao's identity is genuine or not, holding the Nine Cloud Token in hand leaves no room for carelessness.
Seeing that Xuan Hong had already gone to pay his respects, the several Celestial Kings and powerful figures from the Ninefold Celestial Gate naturally did not dare to hesitate any longer. They exchanged glances and hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully bowing slightly to Ximen Piaopiao, saying, "We have met Young Master Ximen."
Ximen Piaopiao put away the Nine Cloud Token and nodded lightly, saying, "You all need not be formal. Now, please act according to my earlier orders! Is there any problem?"
When Ximen Piaopiao spoke this last sentence, his gaze was directed straight at Xuan Hong.
Among the strong figures of the Ninefold Celestial Gate, Xuan Hong was the most powerful.
It was also evident that everyone present looked to Xuan Hong for guidance.
Seeing Ximen Piaopiao's gaze upon him, Xuan Hong quickly nodded respectfully and said, "Young Master, rest assured. Since you have given an order, we will do our utmost to protect your friends."
"That would be best," Ximen Piaopiao replied with a nod.
"What are you all still dawdling for? Hurry up and protect Young Master and his friends!" After assuring Ximen Piaopiao, Xuan Hong turned sharply and reprimanded the nearby Celestial Kings and a group of Celestial Mansion Realm experts.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Kings and the group of Celestial Mansion Realm experts immediately dispersed, forming a protective circle around Ye Fan, Ximen Piaopiao, Wu Qiuyang, and Heng Yuzhu.
Meanwhile, Xuan Hong, the Immortal King, stepped forward and stood side by side with the graceful figure of Sword King Muqu from the Famous Sword Sect, their gazes fixed on Huaqing Immortal King across from them.
"Are we going to fight?" Huaqing Immortal King asked with a faint smile.
Xuan Hong slightly bowed and said with a wry smile, "Since Young Master has brought the Nine Cloud Token here, I know I am no match for you, but I have no choice but to engage in battle."
"Alright, since that's the case, let's make our move!" Huaqing Immortal King nodded.
"Young Master Ximen, Huaqing Immortal King is at the pinnacle of the Celestial King realm, reputed to be half a step away from becoming a Celestial Sovereign. Once they engage in battle, the commotion will surely be thunderous. I ask you, Young Master Ximen, to retreat with us."
Glancing at Huaqing Immortal King and the others, Ximen Piaopiao lightly nodded and said to Ye Fan, "Night Fan Brother, how about we step back for now?"
Ye Fan smiled wryly, "What else can we do, Young Master Ximen..."
Hearing this, Ximen Piaopiao could certainly detect the underlying meaning in Ye Fan's tone. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly and offered an apologetic glance.
Then, under the protection of several Celestial King Realm experts from the Ninefold Celestial Gate, they swiftly retreated to a distance in the void.
"Primordial Immortal King, what should we do now?"
As they watched Xuan Hong, Moonlit Melody, and Huaqing Immortal King on the verge of erupting into battle, the other Celestial King Realm figures behind Primordial Immortal King couldn't help but ask.
Primordial Immortal King's eyes sparkled with intensity as he glanced toward Ye Fan and the others. A cold smile appeared on his face as he said, "When two clams fight, the fisherman benefits. Why are you all so anxious? Since they want to fight, let them fight. It would be best if they both suffer heavy losses."
"The Celestial King's meaning is..."
The few Celestial King Realm figures behind Primordial Immortal King began to understand his intent and their faces all revealed cold smiles.
