"Heh, do you think this king would be afraid of you!"
King Qingtian chuckled, then his figure flickered and he battled in the air with the King of Dizang from the Loulan Empire. As for Changsun Wugou, she stood in front of Ye Xuan, her long sword pointing diagonally at the ground, and then looked at Wei Qingtian.
"Marquis of Nanyang, if you make another move, you will bleed to death with the next strike. Do you believe me?"
A calm and domineering voice echoed through the four directions, undoubtedly stunning everyone. However, no one dared to refute this statement.
After all!
The Marquis of Pingchuan, the foremost among the four marquises of the Longyang Empire, truly possessed this ability.
"Changsun Wugou, how dare you!!"
Marquis Wei Qingtian of Nanyang was so angry his lungs were about to explode. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. He immediately attacked Changsun Wugou with brilliant sword energy.
However, Changsun Wugou showed no great reaction to this, "Your attack is good, but... it's still too weak."
As Changsun Wugou's voice fell, the next moment, a sword light flashed, and Wei Qingtian felt a sharp pain at his neck. He stared at Changsun Wugou with wide, disbelieving eyes, "You... how is this possible??"
Obviously!
Wei Qingtian could not believe that Changsun Wugou would be so strong, and even more so, that Changsun Wugou would dare to kill him in front of everyone!
"Heh, just a marquis of the Loulan Empire, do you really think you're someone important?"
Changsun Wugou glanced at Wei Qingtian's corpse, not taking him seriously at all, and then looked up at the fierce battle in the sky with emotion, "You will never know what kind of kindness King Potianlei has shown to my Changsun lineage."
As his voice fell, Changsun Wugou took Wei Qingtian's spatial ring and casually threw it to Ye Xuan, "The successor of King Potianlei, Ye Xuan, is it?"
"Hahaha, consider this spatial ring a gift from my Changsun lineage to you."
Ye Xuan, "......"
The surrounding crowd gasped in unison. My heavens, that kid is rich! But... more important than this spatial ring, he actually received the protection of the Changsun lineage, the royal family of the Longyang Empire.
Are you kidding me?
The Changsun lineage is known for being protective of its own. Especially their current family head, Changsun Ruotian, is a peak eighth-tier Venerable. Of course, that was ten years ago. As for whether he has broken through to the ninth-tier Venerable, no one knows.
After all...
The current Emperor of their Longyang Empire, Long Baye, is only at the peak of the ninth-tier Venerable, one step away from the realm of Void Ancestor. It can be said that Changsun Ruotian having reached the peak of the eighth-tier Venerable ten years ago was already extraordinary.
Moreover, Changsun Ruotian is precisely the father of Changsun Wugou. It is not surprising that he would say so.
Before the Changsun lineage, Wei Qingtian was indeed not a significant figure.
"Heh, to be able to kill Wei Yunze and his group at the ninth-tier Great Emperor realm earlier, well done."
Changsun Wugou's forceful words stunned Ye Xuan, and the surrounding crowd was also shocked. A ninth-tier Great Emperor killing the son of a dignified marquis of the Loulan Empire... This...
Although they didn't know how strong Wei Qingtian's son was, there would surely be many Venerable-level experts around him, and even a first-tier Venerable would be the lowest. It's possible there were second-tier Venerables as well.
In this case...
Doesn't this mean that the successor of the Potianlei Spear possessed the combat power of a second-tier Venerable when he was a ninth-tier Great Emperor!?
The thought was chilling!
Then, everyone's gaze towards Ye Xuan changed completely, not for any other reason, but because Ye Xuan's current strength was not the so-called ninth-tier Great Emperor, but... a first-tier Venerable!
This being the case, doesn't this child have the strength to contend with a third-tier Venerable at least!
My heavens, is this a dream!!
A short while later.
The various parties dispersed. The King of Dizang of the Loulan Empire, with a gloomy expression, cast an undisguised killing intent towards Ye Xuan, "King Qingtian, I don't believe you can protect him forever!"
With a cold snort, the King of Dizang knew that with King Qingtian's throne here, he couldn't kill that kid. Moreover, with the death of the Marquis of Nanyang this time, this feud was now established with the Longyang Empire. He also hadn't expected that a junior from the Changsun family would act this way.
It's possible that the two countries would even go to war because of this!
After all...
The relationship between the two countries was already extremely tense, and no one knew if this fuse would ignite it.
If that were the case, it would no longer be a personal grievance but a war between two countries, which would be a sensation throughout the entire Galaxy Empire. Of course, the outcome would be another story.
"Young friend Ye, very good!"
King Qingtian's throne came before Ye Xuan and looked at him, who had already reached the first-tier Venerable realm. "The Glazed Secret Realm, directly from ninth-tier Great Emperor to first-tier Venerable!"
"May I know... if I can see the Potianlei Spear?"
King Qingtian's voice sounded, and Ye Xuan nodded slightly, then flipped his hand and took out the Potianlei Spear, which was faintly emanating lightning.
"This... is the Potianlei Spear!"
King Qingtian's throne grasped the Potianlei Spear, feeling the surging and violent lightning. "Tsk tsk, it's truly powerful and overbearing!"
"It truly lives up to its reputation as a weapon that suppressed an era a hundred thousand years ago!"
After returning the Potianlei Spear to Ye Xuan, King Qingtian's throne sighed with emotion, "King Potianlei was my lifelong idol, and the target I wished to surpass."
"If possible, would young friend Ye join the Longyang Empire? It would be a beautiful thing to fight alongside the successor of King Potianlei in the future."
King Qingtian's throne pursed his lips and sighed, then continued, "Of course, if young friend Ye has other plans, this seat will not force you."
"Young friend Ye!"
Tong Wuya heard the olive branch personally extended by King Qingtian's throne and was very excited. One should know that King Qingtian's throne rarely acted this way.
"Oh?"
Hearing King Qingtian's words, Ye Xuan pondered for a moment. Judging from the reaction to the Potianlei Spear's appearance, although King Potianlei's prestige was immense, he was likely to have enemies as numerous as the whales in the ocean. If he joined the Longyang Empire, it might save him a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan actually already had an answer.
After a brief consideration, he said, "It has long been my aspiration to join the Longyang Empire, and I am also very curious about Senior King Potianlei."
"That's great!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, King Qingtian's throne was overjoyed. "Since young friend Ye is willing, I will immediately inform the Emperor of Longyang!"
"I believe the Emperor will be extremely happy to know of this!!"
Are you kidding me?
Putting aside the matter of King Potianlei, Ye Xuan's talent and combat power alone were enough for him to achieve the rank of King's Throne in the near future. Not to mention, with the inheritance of King Potianlei, Ye Xuan held infinite possibilities in the future.
"Young friend Ye actually agreed to join the Longyang Empire."
"If Old Ancestor knew, he would be greatly excited!"
Changsun Wugou's eyes also flashed with brilliance. He also had a great respect for King Potianlei, not just him, but the entire Changsun lineage. This was because each of them knew clearly that without King Potianlei of a hundred thousand years ago, there would be no glory for the Changsun family today.
Moreover, Changsun Wugou was even more expectant, perhaps... the current owner of the Potianlei Spear would become a force that would help their Changsun lineage soar once more.
