Ling Fan's expression tightened as he looked over there.
Lu Jiuwen's face, however, changed.
"Hahaha, Lu Jiuwen, Fan Lin, why don't you two hasten to offer your necks for slaughter!"
At this moment.
Figures appeared one after another.
Surrounding Ling Fan and Lu Jiuwen.
It was the Gao family's powerhouses, led by Gao Yilong.
Gao Gan, Gao Sangui, and others were all present.
As soon as Gao Gan appeared, he stared at Ling Fan with extremely venomous eyes, as if he wished he could carve Ling Fan into a thousand pieces with his gaze.
Soon.
The powerhouses of the entire Qing Xuan Sect also reacted.
Heavenly Emperor powerhouses appeared one by one, joining Ling Fan and Lu Jiuwen's side.
"Is your Gao family rebelling!"
Old Man Gu said sternly.
Gao Yilong sneered, "You are the ones rebelling! The Qing Xuan Sect has always belonged to our Gao family. Now, we are merely taking it back."
"Just you lot! Dreaming! Don't think your Gao family can truly cover the sky with one hand. We are not afraid of you anymore!" a Qing Xuan Sect powerhouse shouted.
"Heh heh, if it were just us, we wouldn't have absolute confidence to destroy you and seize the entire Qing Xuan Sect, but..." Gao Yilong's voice suddenly paused.
"Please, Emperor Gao Han, descend and purge these rebels!"
When Gao Yilong uttered this sentence.
Everyone was stunned.
Emperor!
Are they joking?
How many years had it been since the Qing Xuan Sect had produced an Emperor?
How could the Gao family possibly invite an Emperor?
Gao Han...
That name seemed a little familiar.
Before they could recall who Gao Han was.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura that shook heaven and earth descended like a tidal wave.
A towering figure, looking down upon the eight directions, appeared before the Gao family members, with hands clasped behind his back.
Upon seeing this person's arrival.
All the Gao family members became excited, prostrating themselves with the reverence of a surging tide: "Greetings, Emperor!"
"Rise."
The person's voice was very hoarse.
It was as if someone isolated in a dark chamber for hundreds of thousands of years had their vocal cords rusted.
But the majesty.
Was undeniable.
"You are... the servant of Emperor Gao Qiu, the former half-step Emperor powerhouse of Jin Prefecture, the Liu Han who was granted the surname by Emperor Gao Qiu," Lu Jiuwen narrowed his eyes, suddenly remembering something, and said to the man.
"Heh heh, I didn't expect anyone to still remember me!"
Emperor Gao Han chuckled.
However, that smile did not bring any sense of closeness, but rather a chilling feeling.
"I remember you, Lu Jiuwen. At that time, you were merely a newly ascended Heavenly Emperor, weren't you? I didn't expect a mere bug from the past, who became the Sect Master of Qing Xuan Sect with the Gao family's favor, to dare to betray us Gao family! You deserve to die." Emperor Gao Han said coldly.
Lu Jiuwen's aura changed: "Hmph, it is your Gao family who deserve to die. How Qing Xuan Emperor died, you, as that old bastard Gao Qiu's slave, should know better than anyone! It's a pity that old bastard Gao Qiu died early, otherwise, I would truly have wanted to personally slay that old bastard."
"Presumptuous!"
Gao Gan shouted excitedly.
"You rebels, you still don't realize your doom is upon you!"
"Your Majesty Emperor, this is Lu Jiuwen, and that Fan Lin. These two are the ringleaders. Kill them, and the morale of these rebels will naturally collapse!"
"Later, please hand this Fan Lin over to me. I will make him suffer endless torment to quell the hatred in my heart!"
Gao Gan gritted his teeth, staring at Ling Fan.
Gao Han said, "Very well."
As his voice fell.
Gao Han reached out with a palm.
Boom!
The heavens and earth immediately shook.
It was as if a divine thunderclap from the nine heavens had erupted.
A terrifying, colossal palm grasped the firmament, overturning mountains and seas, actually intending to capture Ling Fan, Lu Jiuwen, Old Man Gu, and the other Qing Xuan Sect powerhouses in one fell swoop.
Ling Fan's expression became solemn.
Even though his strength had greatly increased.
He still felt boundless pressure.
The Gao Han before him.
Was a true Emperor!
Although he appeared to have just broken through.
But an Emperor was an Emperor. It was a completely different realm from a half-step Emperor, let alone compared to a ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor. One was a divine dragon in the heavens, the other an ant on the ground, with no comparability.
Ling Fan patted the head of the big yellow dog.
At the same time, he was ready to summon his palace at any moment.
Just then.
Lu Jiuwen beside him suddenly sighed and took a step forward.
Boom!
A terrifying pressure, no weaker than Emperor Gao Han, and even more formidable, erupted.
At that moment.
Everyone was stunned.
Emperor!
Another Emperor!
Who could have imagined.
That Lu Jiuwen, the Sect Master who had endured humiliation and kept a low profile for so long, was actually a hidden Emperor powerhouse!
Bang!
The two Emperors collided.
In an instant.
The heavens and earth were torn apart.
Everyone was sent flying by the aftermath of the two Emperors' battle.
This was still the result of Lu Jiuwen deliberately restraining his aura to protect everyone.
Otherwise, in that instant, few would have survived.
Looking at Lu Jiuwen battling Emperor Gao Han, Ling Fan was somewhat caught off guard.
Lu Jiuwen was an Emperor!
This old fellow had hidden himself very deeply.
His demeanor was truly extraordinary.
However, now was clearly not the time for astonishment.
As the two Emperors fiercely fought.
The powerhouses of both factions, with bloodshot eyes, like sworn enemies, charged at each other like two torrents.
"Fan Lin, you little brat, come and pay with your life!"
A thunderous roar.
Gao Gan's eyes widened, and he descended before Ling Fan, his hand wrapped in the radiance of endless disaster, like a true god of doom, reaching for Ling Fan's head.
A powerful peak eighth-tier Heavenly Emperor aura surged forth.
Clearly, Gao Gan had also been cultivating diligently during these days.
All for the purpose of killing Ling Fan and avenging his humiliation.
However, Ling Fan merely gave a cold smile.
Peak eighth-tier Heavenly Emperor?
What was that?
In Ling Fan's eyes, they were now merely like ants.
Ling Fan flicked his finger.
A supreme force sent the aggressively advancing Gao Gan flying away.
Ah!
A scream.
Gao Gan's entire body exploded from this flick.
His Emperor Soul was almost shattered!
He stared at Ling Fan in disbelief, his eyes filled with infinite terror.
"How is this possible! With Emperor Gao Han's help, my strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. I am now a peak eighth-tier Heavenly Emperor, only half a step away from a ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor. How could I possibly lose!"
Ling Fan was too lazy to waste words with him.
The current Gao Gan didn't even have the qualification to be looked at by Ling Fan as an opponent.
An ancient stone bridge spread out from under his feet.
Ling Fan instantly appeared above Gao Gan.
He stomped down.
Pfft!
It was like a watermelon being crushed.
Gao Gan's Emperor Body and Emperor Soul were both annihilated by Ling Fan's stomp, vanishing into nothingness.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Gao Gan's father, Gao Yilong, roared with shattered liver and gall.
He immediately abandoned the opponent in front of him.
