The immortal sect is lofty, but the dynasty is collapsing. The court is treacherous, and the martial world is perilous. In these troubled times, human lives are no more valuable than grass.
C...
Why is Ao Yao still acting like this?
This guy looks like a complete idiot!
Wang Chaofeng frowned slightly, a sense of doubt creeping into her heart.
Could it be... that he's planning to play dumb to outsmart others?
The same trick probably won't work anymore!
Wang Chaofeng continued to look, and unsurprisingly, the second person to come out was Ao Jia.
Wang Chaofeng was no stranger to this Golden Immortal powerhouse who often accompanied Ao Yao.
She didn't pay much attention to him, but instead looked at the last person to come out—Nine-Dragon Brahma!
This person seemed to have sprung out of a stone.
His name had never been heard in the Azure Sky Domain.
However, the battle in the Sirius Realm revealed their terrifying strength.
The fact that he single-handedly killed the Star Realm Lord Mangle demonstrates a strength that surpasses ninety percent of the martial artists of the Nine Heavens of Yaochi.
This person looks... somewhat dangerous!
Wang Chaofeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a divine light flashed across them from time to time.
However, it was only for a moment before she lost interest in Brahma.
"Feng'er, what are you doing here?"
Ao Yao flew over with a joyful expression and soon arrived in front of Wang Chaofeng.
If it weren't for a fiery red longsword pressed against Ao Yao's forehead, he probably would have already leaned in close.
"Doesn't he like Jiang Lan?"
Li Fan asked in a low voice.
"My young master has always been like this, but Jiang Lan is just the most generous he has ever been!"
Ao Jia looked completely unfazed.
What's so special about this? Our young master spends most of his time wandering among the beauties of the Azure Sky Domain.
Although he didn't win the hearts of any women, he spent a considerable amount of money.
In his words, he likes the feeling of wanting something but not being able to have it. Once he actually gets it, it's like a chicken rib – tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.
In Ao Jia's eyes, this behavior was nothing short of being taken advantage of.
"A master can boil one sheep, but to boil a hundred at the same time is truly impressive!"
Li Fan muttered something.
Although he didn't know what kind of creature Boiling Sheep was, it didn't stop Ao Jia from understanding the meaning. He asked with a surprised look, "What kind of strength does my young master have?"
"Economic strength!"
Li Fan joked with a smile.
"So...that's really true!"
Ao Jia expressed his agreement.
"Feng'er, can you please not be so harsh with me!"
Ao Yao gazed at the woman before him with deep affection.
The next second, the fiery red longsword trembled slightly.
A fiery phoenix with outstretched wings shot out, almost brushing past Ao Yao's cheek.
The void was instantly pierced by the fire phoenix, and the flames lingered for a long time.
"roll!"
Wang Chaofeng said coldly.
"Okay!"
Ao Yao stepped back with a cheerful expression, as if nothing had happened.
I looked absolutely stunning just now.
If Feng'er is not mistaken, she should think I am a master, since only a master can be so calm.
If it were someone else, they probably would have wet their pants by now.
What Ao Yao didn't know was that Wang Chaofeng's evaluation of him was only two words: idiot.
"Netherworld Calamity, do you accept defeat at my hands?"
"If you're not satisfied, we can have a practice session. How about I give you a handicap with both hands?"
I surrender!
Minghuo looked at Ao Yao as if he were a clown.
Whether your attempt to provoke me with words is childish or pretentious is irrelevant.
Even if Ao Yao has talent no less than Ao Mie's, he is destined not to become the second Ao Mie.
To sweep aside all the prodigies of our generation, we must have an invincible will!
These methods alone are not enough to sustain the business.
“Sign a contract, and this offense will be forgiven.”
Ao Yao didn't press the matter further, because he wanted to quickly share this good news with Jiang Lan so that she could receive these worlds.
Others may think he's a prodigal son, but only he knows that he did it to tarnish his own reputation.
His actions just now were merely a habit he had developed over many years, or perhaps he had not yet experienced the true joy of being a demon.
This is not good; it should be changed in the future.
Even if all you're doing is looking cool, you have to look even more stylish.
......
"Daozi, our spies have sent word that Wang Lin led his men into the Pantheon's occupied territory several days ago!"
Amidst the starry sky, the celestial boat traversed the heavens, and Zi Tongtian, upon receiving the news, frowned slightly.
Does the fact that the Pantheon has occupied the area mean that the small world numbered 087 has been occupied by the Underworld Calamity?
Jun Buyu's return must be due to certain people. So, since Minghuo has taken over number 087, why isn't Jun Buyu under his control?
With hostages in hand, it's impossible to let such a powerful expert leave.
Wang Lin can bring people to arrest them, and Ming Huo can do it himself!
Wait... Could it be that these two guys are here to plot against me?
They already had the source core a long time ago.
But that doesn't make sense!
Having obtained the source core, they should just keep a low profile. Why do they still need to scheme against me?
I can't figure it out, I just can't understand it.
With such a huge benefit in hand, they could easily make a fortune in silence.
"Young Master, news has come from the Hundred Beasts Fighting Arena in the Wilderness Realm: Jade-Faced Little Black Dragon Ao Yao soared into the sky after emerging from the Zhou Tian Realm, and in the battle of the Heavenly Wolf Realm, he annihilated five Heavenly Immortal Ninth-Level War Generals from the Pantheon's side. Three of them were even Realm Lords of the three major forward bases under the command of the Underworld Calamity..."
Moreover, Ao Yao's side displayed terrifying strength in this battle. Besides Ao Yao himself being confirmed as a prodigy, his general, Nine-Tattooed Dragon Brahma, was also a near-prodigy...
Today, both sides negotiated peace in the Astral Plane, with the Pantheon ceding its Astral Advance Base and its affiliated worlds...
"Stop! Where did you say the Jade-Faced Little Black Dragon Ao Yao came from?"
Zi Tongtian suddenly stepped forward, his eyes flashing with turmoil.
"Zhou Tian Jie!"
The Celestial Realm?
Zhou Tianjie!
week!
The Zhou dynasty of the Great Zhou imperial family.
It all fits together, everything fits together.
No wonder... no wonder Ming Huo and Wang Lin plotted against me, no wonder they let Jun Buyu come out.
They did not obtain the source core; they were unaware even of its existence.
Ao Yao's sudden rise to power is definitely closely related to the source core.
To be even more daring, the source core is on Ao Yao.
Things are getting complicated!
Ao Yao is far too powerful, both in terms of his background and the strength he has displayed.
Even if I were to use the full power of the Xuanhuan Sect, I might not be able to defeat Ao Yao.
What should we do?
By joining forces with the Heavenly Sect and the Azure Sect, and using the combined power of the three sects, they captured Ao Yao and forced him to reveal the whereabouts of the Source Core.
Or should we just announce the news to the public and attract many geniuses to hunt Ao Yao together?
The former has a higher success rate, but it is difficult to balance the interests among the three parties.
There are only two opportunities to obtain the Source Core and the Ascension Battlefield, so it's definitely not enough for three people.
The person who gets nothing in return will definitely not be willing.
The latter has an even lower success rate, which is equivalent to bringing forward the final battle of the Ascension Battlefield. Even Zi Tongtian himself is not confident that he can make it to the end.
So what should we do?
Wait... there seems to be another option.
Aren't Wang Lin and Ming Huo plotting against me? Well then, I'll play along and chase them into the Pantheon's occupied territory.
Once these two guys learn about the source core, they will definitely think about striking first.
When that time comes... will I be able to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?
However, it's not very reliable to do it alone, so I need to call on a helper.
If you're choosing a helper, you'd naturally choose someone who isn't two-faced.
Wen Yuan, the Gentleman Sword Zhou Bingli!
