Somewhere in Shenlong City.
"Wow, Mommy, look, such beautiful stones!"
The five little ones arrived at the marketplace, immediately drawn to the strange spirit medicines and colorful stones. They had never seen such stones before.
"Auntie Xiaocai, let's go take a look over there~~"
Pingping and An'an, one on each side, pulled Xiaocai's hand and walked towards a nearby stall. This scene made countless people around them envious. After all, Xiaocai's beauty was no less than Luo Tianyi's.
"Two young masters, slow down."
Xiaocai hurried to speak as the two young masters pulled her with all their might.
"Heehee, Mommy, let's go take a look too~~"
The three little ones, Mengmeng, Nuonuo, and Hanhan, chattered to Luo Tianyi. Thus, the two groups began to buy and buy in the Shenlong City marketplace.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Nonsense, we bought this first!"
A huffy voice was heard. Xiaocai, looking over, saw her master Luo Tianyi in a conflict with a group of people. The other party was a young woman, still quite attractive, exuding an air of nobility, but what was most apparent was her arrogance.
"There are such beautiful girls in the world!"
Seeing Luo Tianyi's outstanding appearance, the woman's face turned cold. Driven by a sense of inferiority, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes. Seeing that the woman was only at the peak of the Fourth Rank Venerable realm, she snorted.
"Uncle Ying, slap her!"
"Yes, Miss!"
The Eighth Rank Venerable expert accompanying the woman knew his young lady's temper well. He immediately raised his hand to slap Luo Tianyi, and his palm was laced with potent poison, clearly intending to disfigure Luo Tianyi.
The viciousness of her intentions was evident!
"Presumptuous!"
Before Uncle Ying could get close, Xiaocai slapped him away. Shangguan Wan'er's Uncle Ying was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood. If Xiaocai hadn't held back, Uncle Ying would have already become a corpse.
"You..."
Seeing Xiaocai's decisive action, Shangguan Wan'er became furious, "You scoundrel, how dare you touch someone from my Shangguan family!"
"Destroy her!"
Immediately, an elder beside Shangguan Wan'er attacked. This elder was at the Second Tier Void Ancestor realm. "Girl, you have a good appearance, but your actions are so vicious."
*Bang~*
They exchanged a palm strike. Xiaocai remained unmoved, while the Shangguan family elder's face turned pale, and he retreated repeatedly. A mouthful of blood surged up, and he was about to spit it out, but he swallowed it back forcefully. He knew very well that he did not represent himself at this moment, but the Shangguan family behind him.
As royalty, how could he be injured by a woman here.
"Peak of the Third Tier Void Ancestor!"
"What a formidable genius!!"
The Shangguan family elder revealed Xiaocai's cultivation level. Shangguan Wan'er was stunned. Peak Third Tier Void Ancestor, how could this woman be so powerful at such a young age, and... most importantly, she was so beautiful.
"Dare to touch my Shangguan family, you are all dead!!"
Without hesitation, Shangguan Wan'er directly fired a flare into the sky. In the next moment, a brilliant flare appeared in the sky, blooming into the characters "Shangguan," which hung in the void for a long time.
Shortly after the flare bloomed, a voice echoed in the square.
"Presumptuous, who dares to oppose my Shangguan family!"
With a swish, a figure flashed into the square. This person bore some resemblance to Shangguan Wan'er, but his strength had already reached the Eighth Rank Venerable realm, and beside him was an elder at the peak of the Fourth Tier Void Ancestor, the Shangguan family's Great Elder.
"Girl, you are too bold!"
The Shangguan family's Great Elder immediately attacked. Regardless of right or wrong, their Shangguan family's honor must be reclaimed.
Xiaocai was not one to be trifled with. She directly exchanged a palm strike with the Shangguan family's Great Elder. The result, however, surprised everyone. The Shangguan family's Great Elder retreated repeatedly, while Xiaocai only took one step back.
"If you dare to attack again, you will die!"
With killing intent flashing in her eyes, Xiaocai looked at the Shangguan family's Great Elder. If she didn't worry about causing trouble for Master Ye Xuan, these people would have already become corpses.
"Second Young Master, Miss, let's go!"
The Shangguan family's Great Elder, along with Shangguan Haoyue and Shangguan Wan'er, immediately left Shenlong City. He understood that with such a threat, the other party could indeed carry it out.
Watching this scene, Qin Lu Tian, who was hidden in the shadows, gasped. His gaze fell on Xiaocai. "As expected of the Five-Colored Hell Spider Emperor, her combat power is truly terrifying!"
"Let alone the peak Fourth Tier Void Ancestor here, even a Fifth Tier Void Ancestor might not be her opponent."
Qin Lu Tian then sent a telepathic message to inform Ye Xuan of the events. Ye Xuan, however, was unconcerned. With Qin Lu Tian present, the safety of Luo Tianyi and his five children would be guaranteed.
However, after this incident, it was spread throughout Shenlong City.
The Shangguan family, the imperial relatives of the Silver River Empire, being publicly defeated, was undoubtedly a rare topic of conversation after dinner.
Meanwhile, deep within the Silver River Imperial Palace, Ji Xuanyuan learned of this matter and immediately ordered Ji Changkong to go to the Shangguan family to give them a warning.
Less than an hour later.
In the forbidden area of the Shangguan family's backyard, an unprecedented pressure descended.
"Who is it!?"
The faces of the Shangguan family's old ancestors changed drastically. Shangguan Ming Ye, the Shangguan family's strongest ancestor, felt the aura approaching and saw the figure. He quickly bowed and said, "Shangguan Ming Ye greets Lord Changkong!!"
Obviously, Shangguan Ming Ye, who was at the Fourth Tier Dao Ancestor realm, recognized Ji Changkong and knew that as an ancestor of the Silver River Empire, his status was far higher than his.
"Shangguan Ming Ye, by order of Ancestor Xuanyuan, your Shangguan family offended my Ji clan and a distinguished guest of the Silver River Empire several hours ago. Control your descendants, or the Shangguan family may cease to exist."
After a warning, Shangguan Ming Ye's mouth twitched, and his eyelids jumped wildly. "I bid farewell to Lord Changkong!!"
It was not until Ji Changkong had left for a long time that Shangguan Ming Ye recovered. He then angrily summoned the current head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Qingcang.
"You scoundrel!"
After learning the full story, Shangguan Ming Ye immediately took Shangguan Qingcang to Shenlong City. Their purpose, obviously, was to apologize.
Joke?
Someone whom even the Silver River Empire and the Ji clan treated with extreme solemnity was someone their Shangguan family, no matter how powerful, could not afford to offend.
As for Shangguan Qingcang, upon returning to his room, he immediately found Shangguan Haoyue and Shangguan Wan'er and berated them severely. Were these two troublesome offspring tired of the Shangguan clan's peace? "However, who exactly is this Ye Xuan, the City Lord of Shenlong City, that even the Ji clan of the Silver River Empire fears so much? It's truly strange!?"
