A single glare was enough to instantly obliterate a peak Celestial King.
Whether it was the so-called half-step Celestial Sovereign, Huaqing Immortal King, or the leader of the Famous Sword Sect, Sword King Muqu, or even Xuan Hong, the Immortal King from the Ninefold Celestial Gate, they all hovered in the void, their gazes fixed on the middle-aged man standing before Ximen Piaopiao and Ye Fan, their eyes filled with deep shock and trepidation.
To be able to so effortlessly kill a peak Celestial King meant that this person was undoubtedly a true Celestial Sovereign powerhouse.
Only someone of Celestial Sovereign caliber could achieve such an effortless feat against a peak Celestial King.
But who exactly was this person?
The Primordial Immortal King was a peak Celestial King powerhouse from the Suspended King Sword Sect, ruling over countless cultivation planets and territories for the sect.
As soon as he appeared, he had decisively erased the threat without hesitation.
Did he not fear retaliation from the Suspended King Sword Sect?
After all, one must consider the master when dealing with a dog. A Primordial Immortal King might not seem significant in the eyes of a Celestial Sovereign powerhouse.
However, similarly, even a Celestial Sovereign could face dire consequences if they eliminated a peak Celestial King from the Suspended King Sword Sect. If the Suspended King Sword Sect decided to pursue this matter, they would likely find themselves in serious trouble.
After all, the foundation of an Overlord-level force was no laughing matter.
The Celestial Sovereign stood at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm, a figure of unparalleled strength. However, within any Overlord-level faction, such individuals were not uncommon.
It could be said that without some level of confidence, one would not dare to kill a Celestial King from the Suspended King Sword Sect. Even though this individual was a mighty Celestial Sovereign, the consequences would still be dire.
As he surveyed the scene, it was clear that neither the so-called Half-Step Celestial Sovereign, Huaqing Immortal King, nor Xuan Hong, the Immortal King, nor Sword King Muqu, along with other powerful figures from the Celestial King Realm, recognized this terrifying presence before them.
Despite understanding these truths, facing such a formidable being required even those from the Celestial King Realm to harbor a sense of reverence.
Thus, Huaqing Immortal King, Xuan Hong, and Sword King Muqu suppressed their shock and respectfully clasped their fists in greeting towards this man.
"Respected Master of the Famous Sword Sect, Moonlit Melody pays her respects."
"I am Huaqing from Huaqing Pool; I pay my respects to you."
"I am Xuan Hong from Ninefold Celestial Gate; I pay my respects to you."
The other Celestial King Realm and Celestial Mansion Realm experts also bowed deeply in respect to the middle-aged man before them.
In the Immortal Realm, both Celestial Kings and Celestial Sovereigns were revered figures. Yet now, in front of this middle-aged man, they all appeared exceedingly respectful.
There was no choice; even though they were backed by the Celestial Demon Domain and Ninefold Celestial Gate as Dominant Forces, they could not afford to show anything less than utmost respect.
But isn't the Primordial Immortal King?
Didn’t the moment the other party appeared, they directly and unhesitatingly annihilate the Primordial Immortal King with just a glance?
The Celestial Realm is vast and boundless; this place is far from the Celestial Demon Domain and the Ninefold Celestial Gate, requiring traversing countless star domains.
Even beings like the Celestial King, Celestial Sovereign, or Celestial Emperor cannot arrive in an instant; it takes an extremely long time.
Facing a mysterious Celestial Sovereign, if one were to provoke them and follow in the footsteps of the Primordial Immortal King, that would not be good at all.
Cao Zun cast a calm glance at Huaqing Immortal King, Xuan Hong the Immortal King, and Moonlit Melody, the leader of the Famous Sword Sect, his expression indifferent, ignoring them.
However, when he turned to look at Ximen Piaopiao standing beside Ye Fan, a faint smile appeared on his previously indifferent face. He slightly bowed and said, "I am Cao God, paying my respects to Young Master."
Cao God is indeed another name for Cao Zun.
Looking at Cao Zun, a relaxed smile also appeared on Ximen Piaopiao's face.
It could be said that when Cao Zun appeared, Ximen Piaopiao's tense heart had completely relaxed.
He knew well how terrifying Cao Zun's cultivation was.
With him present, no one would be able to harm Ye Fan.
Ximen Piaopiao hurried forward and extended his hand, saying, "Uncle Cao, please rise."
Ximen Piaopiao personally helped Cao Zun up and curiously asked, "Uncle Cao, how did you know I was at Sword Cloud Star? Thanks to you today, if it weren't for your presence, my Night Fan Brother's situation would have been dire."
Upon hearing this, Cao Zun cast a calm glance at Ye Fan standing beside Ximen Piaopiao.
With a smile, Cao Zun said to Ximen Piaopiao, "Actually, I have always been secretly following you, young master. You just didn't know it."
"Always following me..." Ximen Piaopiao was momentarily at a loss for words and replied, "Uncle Cao, didn't you promise Piao that I could venture out on my own?"
Cao Zun nodded, "It's certainly a good thing for you to explore on your own, young master."
"However, my responsibility is to ensure your safety, so of course I must stay by your side and protect you in secret."
Fearing that Ximen Piaopiao might misunderstand, Cao Zun continued, "But as you can see, I have never revealed myself until now! This time is different; if I don't show myself, it might not be possible."
The relationship between Ximen Piaopiao and Cao Zun was one of servant and master, yet it felt more like that of family—between elder and younger.
Thus, there was no intention of blaming Cao Zun.
Ximen Piaopiao nodded in response, still somewhat speechless. "Well, it's fortunate that you were following me all along; otherwise, things would have been dire this time."
Although he had revealed his identity by using the Nine Cloud Token at a critical moment and commanded Xuan Hong and others from the Ninefold Celestial Gate to assist him, it was clear that even with Xuan Hong's peak cultivation as the Immortal King, he could not withstand the Huaqing Immortal King, known as a half-step Celestial Sovereign.
Even if he teamed up with Sword King Muqu of the Famous Sword Sect, they would still be no match.
Moreover, there was also the Primordial Immortal King from the Suspended King Sword Sect watching closely.
If Cao Zun had not been present, Ximen Piaopiao knew very well that Ye Fan would likely have already been taken away by the strong figures from the Suspended King Sword Sect.
Even for himself, if it weren't for the Primordial Immortal King's concern about his identity, he would probably have faced a grim fate.
Cao Zun smiled again and nodded.
Then, shifting his gaze away from Ximen Piaopiao, he focused on Ye Fan, his smile fading as he calmly said, "You are Ye Fan?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan turned his attention to Cao Zun.
Ye Fan could easily discern the implication behind Cao Zun's question.
This Ye Fan was not the same as that Ye Fan.
It was clear that this powerful protector of Ximen Piaopiao was aware of the situation regarding him.
Moreover, just like Huaqing Immortal King, Xuan Hong, the Immortal King, and Primordial Immortal King, he had likely deduced Ye Fan's identity with considerable accuracy.
Since the other party already harbored suspicions, it would be pointless for him to try to conceal anything.
Furthermore, it was evident that this person shared a significant connection with Ximen Piaopiao.
Although Ximen Piaopiao had concealed her identity when they first met, who could reveal all their secrets upon a mere chance encounter?
Thus, without hesitation, Ye Fan nodded decisively and said, "Indeed, I am Ye Fan, the one you are looking for."
