A mythical beast, the Azure Ox?

Chen Tianwen was somewhat puzzled, as he had never heard of such a celestial beast race before.

In Chen Tianwen's memory, the Green Ox shouldn't be considered a celestial beast.

"Brother Bai, are you familiar with the Azure Ox clan of celestial beasts?"

Chen Tianwen secretly communicated with Bai Ze in the spiritual space, inquiring about the origin of the immortal beast, the Azure Ox.

To Chen Tianwen's surprise, the usually aloof Bai Ze actually stepped out of the spiritual energy space after hearing about the celestial beast, the Azure Ox.

"Are you the mythical beast, the Azure Ox?"

Bai Ze stared at the Domain Lord Qing Jun and asked with some uncertainty.

When Qingjun saw Bai Ze suddenly appear, she didn't react for a moment, but after seeing Bai Ze's appearance clearly, Qingjun knelt down in front of Bai Ze again.

This might be the day that Qingjun has knelt the most in the past tens of thousands of years.

"Xiao Qing greets Lord Bai Ze!"

This time it was Fairy Lanxin's turn to be surprised. She hadn't even noticed that Chen Tianwen had been accompanied by a mysterious expert all along.

Moreover, Qingjun actually addressed him as Lord Bai Ze!

Although Fairy Lanxin initially lived in the Human Emperor's small world and knew little about the outside world, she still managed to survive the legend of Bai Ze after ruling Chao Shengzong for so many years.

Fairy Lanxin also quickly bowed to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze, however, disregarded everything else and kept staring at Qing Jun kneeling on the ground. After a long while, he spoke:

"Get up."

Qingjun then stood up and stood respectfully beside Bai Ze.

Bai Ze spoke to Qing Jun:

"You've changed so much. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have recognized you."

Qingjun nodded somewhat helplessly and said to Bai Ze:

"Lord Bai Ze, when the Human Emperor left, he sealed my cultivation and personally altered my appearance and aura. Only Fairy Lan Xin knows my true identity. My current public identity is that of the Domain Lord of the Gan Domain."

Bai Ze also sighed and said:

"Things have truly changed. How are your people?"

Qingjun gave a wry smile and said:

"I am grateful for Lord Bai Ze's concern, but I am now all alone. Of the Azure Ox Clan of Celestial Beasts, only I remain. The only reason I am still in the Xuanxian Realm is to fulfill the Human Emperor's last request to protect Fairy Lan Xin!"

Bai Ze sighed and said nothing more.

This was the first time Fairy Lanxin had heard Qingjun say this. So, Qingjun stayed here to protect me. So, you've always been worried about me...

A flood of thoughts overwhelmed her, and Fairy Lanxin couldn't help but shed tears.

None of the four spoke for a long time before Qingjun broke the awkward silence, addressing Bai Ze:

"With Lord Bai Ze here, the current crisis is nothing."

Bai Ze nodded and said:

“I was reluctant to take action, firstly to let Brother Chen understand the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions. Secondly, I wanted to use this incident to further hone Brother Chen’s skills.”

Chen Tianwen pursed his lips. Bai Ze always used the excuse of tempering himself to make him face risks alone, but Chen Tianwen was already used to it.

Bai Ze ignored Chen Tianwen's expression and continued:

"But since I've run into you, and you're an old friend of the Human Emperor, fine, I'll make my move!"

Upon hearing that Bai Ze was willing to help, Qing Jun's face revealed an undisguised joy.

"Lord Bai Ze, do you have a way to remove the seal on me?"

Qingjun hesitated for a moment before speaking. After all, it was a seal left by the Human Emperor himself, and Qingjun was not sure if Bai Ze had a way to deal with it. Moreover, even if Bai Ze had a way, he might not necessarily take action.

Bai Ze thought for a moment and then said:

"Now is not the time. After the interdimensional war ends, I will help you remove the seal. The Xuanxian Realm really needs another Immortal Emperor!"

Qingjun was surprised that Bai Ze agreed so readily. Although it would take until the end of the inter-realm war, Qingjun had already waited for hundreds of thousands of years, so he naturally didn't care about waiting another year.

Just as the four were talking, Bai Ze suddenly looked towards Chao Shengzong's outside and said to them:

“Someone’s here. I think this is the trouble you’ve been talking about.”

After Bai Ze finished speaking, he moved the three of them outside Chao Shengzong's residence without making any move.

Chen Tianwen and Qingjun were naturally used to Bai Ze's methods, so they were not surprised, but Fairy Lanxin was different.

I am a Celestial Lord, yet I was teleported out without my knowledge. Just how strong is Bai Ze?

After a while, a crack suddenly appeared in the space outside Chao Shengzong's residence, and more than a dozen figures walked out of the crack.

Each of them possessed strength no less than that of a Celestial Lord, and all of them exuded an imposing aura.

"Lord of the Domain! Are you staying here to show favoritism towards Chen Tianwen?"

The leader was none other than the Supreme Elder of Fengtian Sect, whose strength had reached the late stage of Immortal Lord.

After learning that their sect leader had been killed by Chen Tianwen, the Supreme Elder began contacting relatives and friends to avenge their sect leader.

The power of Fengtian Sect was so great that it could command a large following. In a short period of time, the Supreme Elder summoned more than a dozen powerful immortals to seek revenge against Chao Sheng Sect.

Faced with the menacing crowd, Qingjun didn't take them seriously at all. With Lord Bai Ze here, what were a dozen or so immortal lords?

However, seeing that Bai Ze did not intend to make a move immediately, Qing Jun also spoke to the Supreme Elder:

"I heard that it was Sect Leader Qi who challenged Emperor Chen Dan, but was ultimately outmatched and killed by Emperor Chen Dan. You seem to have no reason to seek revenge, do you?"

The Supreme Elder snorted coldly and said:

"Chen Tianwen is only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. How could he possibly kill our sect leader? He must have used some despicable means to launch a sneak attack."

Chen Tianwen was speechless when he heard the Supreme Elder's words. Back then, when he defeated Qi Huang, the Fengtian Sect Master's explanation was almost exactly the same as what the Supreme Elder was saying now.

It seems that the unreasonable and sophistry of the Fengtian Sect is a consistent tradition.

Qingjun smiled faintly and spoke to the Supreme Elder:

"A arena battles are a matter of life and death. Sect Master Qi, as a Perfected Immortal Lord, challenged a Great Luo Golden Immortal and was killed instead. How dare you still seek revenge?"

Qin Jun's words caused the dozen or so Immortal Lords who had come to turn red in the face. Indeed, what the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect had done was somewhat shameful.

However, since they had already come, these people naturally wouldn't leave just because of Qingjun's few simple words.

The Supreme Elder stepped forward and said aggressively:

"A life for a life is a matter of justice. Lord Domain Master, it would be best not to show favoritism. Otherwise, it might discourage the people of Gan Domain! Moreover, Fairy Lan Xin, as the Sect Master of Chao Sheng Sect, you have condoned Chen Tianwen's violence within the sect. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
