The light was swallowed up by the grotesque, exaggeratedly black dragon head.

His dark golden vertical pupils swept across, capturing the aura left behind by Lin Tianba.

We've only been inside for a short time, thankfully!

The black dragon's true form vanished, and Ao Mie stepped into the Willow Realm.

......

"Qingqiu, come out and dance for me!"

The ancestral land of the Liu family was torn apart by the void.

Two figures emerged from the void.

The Liu family's Golden Immortal, who was leading the way, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Although everything was within reason, it also seemed unexpected.

That's exactly how a ruthless bandit should act.

But now you've at least broken through the barrier between gods and demons.

All he talks about is dancing; he seems to lack the magnanimity of a true leader.

Lin Tianba's internal energy surged forth, like blood clouds covering the sky.

A divine light shone from his eyes.

The ancestral home of the Liu family was as transparent to him.

Found it!

Soon, his gaze pierced through the void and reached the deepest secret realm.

Just as he was about to reach out, another burst of energy suddenly emanated from the direction he had come from.

"Ao Mie, what brings you here?"

Looking at that familiar figure, Lin Tianba was filled with questions.

"Shut up!"

Ao Mie waved his hand, and the Golden Immortal from the Liu family was sent away.

In the distance, a burst of black light suddenly erupted.

"Holy crap, they started fighting right off the bat?"

Lin Tianba let out a strange cry and prepared to make a move.

Ao Mie stopped him again.

A jet-black dragon claw reached out and blocked the incoming black light.

Tiger Soul suddenly retracted from within the blade.

"It really was you!"

Ao Mie looked at Li Fan with a pained expression.

After Lin Tianba left that day, Ao Yao casually asked a few more questions.

You won't know until you ask, and what you find out is quite surprising.

Two Great Luo Immortals have appeared in the neighboring Willow Realm.

It's one thing to call him Willow Goddess, but his other title is Overlord Blade Li Fan.

He was unaware of the title "Overlord Blade".

But Li Fan was someone he knew all too well.

His uncle, Nine-Tattooed Dragon Brahma, was actually named Li Fan.

The question now is... does he need me to protect him?

From any perspective, it's unnecessary!

Grass!

Is there any justice left in this world?

How long have they been here?

Three years... five years... at most ten years, right?

Even if it takes time to send a message from the Azure Sky Domain, it shouldn't be this outrageous, right?

From leaving the battlefield of ascension to being tricked into entering the chaotic ancient domain, he ascended to the Great Luo realm in ten years. Is this even human?!

"What? It really was you?"

Lin Tianba asked, puzzled, "Your enemy?"

"He's the one I've been looking for!"

Ao Mie sighed softly.

"Holy crap! This is your cheap uncle?"

Wait... something's not right!

Didn't you say your uncle was just a newly promoted Heavenly Palace Warrior?

Don't tell me this is the Heavenly Palace!

Don't even tell me he grew into a god or demon in just a few years.

Lin Tianba screamed repeatedly, unable to believe the thoughts that were surfacing in his mind.

No one could possibly believe that!

He killed for thousands of years in the Chaotic Ancient Domain to achieve his current success.

Even the breakthrough was due to Ao Mie's scheming, coupled with the two risking their lives in a fierce battle.

Now someone is telling him that he doesn't need to fight desperately at all; he can easily become a god or demon through casual cultivation.

How could Lin Tianba accept this?

Are you even being reasonable?

......

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is going to be interesting!"

"First came the tyrant Lin Tianba, then came the Tyrant Dragon King Ao Mie,"

"So, what is the purpose of these two coming together?"

"What else could it be for? The tyrant has made it very clear: it's for the Qingqiu Empress!"

"Is the Queen of Qingqiu in Liu Jie?"

"It seems they should be here, and judging from the tyrant's attitude, it seems they've come to bring back the Qingqiu Empress."

"This is very strange to me. Logically speaking, after the Tyrant and the Overlord Dragon King broke through, the Qingqiu Empress should have returned. Why did she come to the Willow Realm instead?"

"Furthermore, there are clearly two Great Luo Immortals in Liu Jie. Why would the Tyrant and the Overlord Dragon King come here?"

"Gentlemen, have you ever heard a rumor from ten years ago?"

The Queen of Qingqiu holds a crucial opportunity—a chance to break through to the Great Luo realm.

Her last attempt also failed.

"If that's the case, then it seems to make sense!"

A crack appeared in the world of Liu Jie, and rumors spread.

But at that very moment, a rift suddenly appeared in the world.

Immediately afterwards, a jet-black blade of light shot straight into the Milky Way.

Li Fan, holding a knife in his right hand and embracing the Qingqiu Empress with his left, appeared at the rift in the world.

In the distance, at the edge of the sky where the dark light of a blade pierced through, Lin Tianba stood like a god.

If it weren't for the deep, bone-revealing knife wound on his body, he would have looked even more imposing.

Lin Tianba stared fiercely at Li Fan and said, "Two thousand years ago, I was injured by Qingqiu."

She is your woman. I can spare her life, but she must apologize.

As long as she dances in front of so many people, I can let bygones be bygones.

Our two families can also cooperate fully.

"You dare make my woman dance? Lin Tianba, I'm giving you a lot of face!"

Li Fan frowned and swung his long sword down suddenly.

A jet-black blade, like a crescent moon shooting into the sky, appeared before Lin Tianba, defying time and space.

"Li Fan, you actually turned against me for a woman? You're asking for trouble!"

Lin Tianba roared, his fists clashing with the blade light like dragons emerging from the sea.

Rumble—

The fist clashed with the blade, producing a deafening roar.

A terrifying power, powerful enough to shake the world, unfolds in the starry sky.

The cold, dark starry sky suddenly became scorching hot.

"My God, they've really started fighting?"

"The Queen of Qingqiu has someone backing her!"

"Who exactly is Li Fan, the Overlord Blade? He must have been famous in the past."

"Stop lamenting, you old fool! Get out of the way! If a fight breaks out, we'll be the first ones to suffer!"

One by one, the immortal ships began to move away. On the other side of the starry sky, Lin Tianba emerged from the explosion and said, "Overlord Blade Li Fan, I'll ask you one last time."

Is it possible for her to dance this dance in Qingqiu?

If we can't jump, from now on, Liu Jie will be the target of my anti-king alliance.

You won't get a single drop of the tung oil you want.

Not only that, I will cut off your trade routes through the Business Alliance.

Unless you personally handle the matter, don't even think about getting the goods out.

You might say you can do that too, but let me tell you definitively.

Our anti-King alliance consists of ruthless bandits who don't care about their lives, and we don't need any fixed territory.

If you dare to utter even a single word of dissent, the anti-king alliance will wage war against you.

"If I can't destroy you, I'll take your surname!"

"Then let's fight!"

Before Li Fan could express his opinion, Liu Shen's figure emerged from the rift in the world.

A canopy that blots out the sky, with countless willow branches hanging down.

In front of her main body was a projection of herself.

"As long as your anti-king alliance dares to fight, then Fellow Daoist Li Fan and I will fight you to the end."

"At worst, I'll disband the Liu family, and then we'll see who dies first."

Liu Shen said coldly, "I don't believe that after all these years of your meddling in the Three Kings Palace, they still have no temper at all!"
