Although Li Ming had changed his appearance, he was still a very handsome man with features as if carved by a knife, and his temperament was particularly ethereal, with a divine and otherworldly air.
Without concealing his aura, he was clearly extraordinary to outsiders at a glance.
No one would doubt that he is the holy son of some holy land.
However, everyone soon noticed the stunning beauty beside him.
Many people may not know Mu Chiyao's name, but everyone recognizes her face at a glance.
After all, she was born in the Central Region Holy Land, and was one of the top ten geniuses on the Xuanhuang Ranking, as well as one of the ten beauties of the Xuanhuang Realm. She was a goddess in the hearts of countless people.
Her beauty spread through various channels, and many people have seen it.
But in reality, many people are seeing it for the first time.
The moment she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of the men present. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, like a figure from a painting. Her long dress flowed gracefully, her curves were undulating, her skin was as smooth as jade, her black hair was as black as clouds, her steps were light and graceful, and her whole body seemed to have a crystal luster flowing around her.
The moment the two stepped out of the palace, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Everyone was utterly shocked, and various discussions arose one after another.
Previously, only experts from the Qin family and the Nine Yang Sect had entered.
When did these two go in? They've come out before me.
What on earth happened?!
At this moment, everyone on the field has become a spectator.
After all, by now, the opportunities have all been arranged clearly.
Many independent cultivators, as well as members of some small and medium-sized forces, still remain in this area.
It wasn't so much about vying for opportunities, but more about joining in the fun, broadening their horizons, and seeing who would ultimately win. This would greatly help them understand the current situation and the strength of various factions. For them, with the arrival of a great era, choosing the right side might be even more important.
The powerful forces, mindful of their status, would naturally not make things difficult for these people as long as they were not offended.
They might even offer some favors, sharing a small amount of profit to gain a good reputation.
Soon, the commotion attracted many of the gatekeepers, and many powerful figures extended their divine senses to investigate the situation.
"Wait, who is this person? When did he go in?"
"Why did Saintess Fuyao come out with him?!"
The young men present all wore heartbroken expressions, as if they had witnessed something impossible.
Of course, some people still offer rational analysis:
"This person has a dignified appearance and a restrained aura, clearly not a simple person. However, he kept a certain distance from the Holy Maiden, so it seems that they don't have that kind of relationship."
"I heard that the young master of the Qin family has been pursuing her. Could it be that the Qin family invited her in sometime ago?"
There was also a handsome man whose eyes lit up:
"Saintess Fuyao is indeed a peerless beauty. I hereby unilaterally declare her to be the number one fairy in the Xuanhuang Realm, and I want to be her dog!"
"Damn, bro, you're a real monster... cough cough."
Upon seeing that the speaker was a young prodigy from a sect, the rogue cultivator immediately changed his tune:
"Admirable."
However, he secretly shook his head, feeling deeply that the world had become a mess, with people not acting like good people but like dogs and sheep.
How could someone as ethereal as her possibly be interested in him? Doesn't she even consider whether she's worthy of him?
Unlike him, who took a liking to a female cultivator from a sect, as long as he offered her Yuan Crystals and pills, she would thank him and say, "You're a good person."
If I send some more later, maybe we can hold hands.
However, the most shocked people at this moment were not the onlookers, but the dozens of martial artists who had been left behind by the Nine Yang Sect and the Qin family to guard the gate.
Previously, both factions had left behind a number of people to prevent rogue martial artists from sneaking in, including many experts at the Celestial Realm.
However, compared to the shock of others, they were more panicked.
They didn't know who Li Ming was, but he was definitely not a simple person. Could someone who could be friends with the Holy Maiden be simple?
As for whether he was their servant, it was obvious at a glance.
The other party is definitely not some nobody.
"What's going on?"
What exactly happened inside?!
More and more people looked over, and the Qin family and the Nine Yang Sect members went from confusion to panic and then to anger.
They discovered that they could no longer contact the people inside!
"My lord, the space inside the palace is extremely unstable; it seems about to collapse!"
"We can't get in touch with the young master."
"Elder, we can't contact the Holy Son either."
One bad news after another came in.
Many members of the Qin family and the Nine Yang Sect showed expressions of fear, while several Celestial Realm experts had ashen faces and looked at Li Ming with even more killing intent.
It's obvious.
There's definitely something wrong with these two.
However, due to the prestige of the Fuyou Holy Land, they dared not act rashly.
Mu Chiyao didn't intend to leave, and her demeanor changed from gentle to extremely aloof.
Li Ming, on the other hand, appeared completely confident, as if none of this concerned him.
At this moment, the two forces silently surrounded the two without making a sound, and then the celestial beings discussed for a while.
Not long after.
A tall, imposing middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, a square face, and a dignified appearance stepped forward. He was an inner sect elder of the Nine Yang Sect, with a cultivation level at the peak of the Celestial Realm. At this moment, his expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Regardless, he failed to do a good job as a gatekeeper, and he will be held responsible when he returns to the sect.
He completely ignored Li Ming's presence and walked straight towards Mu Chiyao, his face dark and ugly:
"Holy Maiden Fuyao, why did you leave the palace with this person? If you don't give an explanation to our Nine Yang Sect and the Qin family..."
"What if we don't give it to them?"
A slightly mocking voice rang out, interrupting him on the spot.
Li Ming strolled forward leisurely, glanced at the Holy Maiden, and seeing that she seemed to be enjoying a good show, he then looked at the elder of the Nine Yang Sect:
"What's wrong? Is the inheritance of this Azure Sky Ancient City your Nine Yang Sect... and the Qin family?"
"Does this mean we can't go in yet?"
His tone was casual, but it contained a chilling undertone, clearly showing that he didn't take the other person seriously at all.
"Who exactly is this person? Where did he get the audacity?"
"The people of the Nine Yang Sect are not to be trifled with. It is said that their sect leader's granddaughter is engaged to the Holy Son of the Sun Holy Land. No matter what his background is, offending the Nine Yang Sect in the Eastern Region or the Desolate Continent will not bring any benefits."
"The old patriarch of the Qin family also dotes on his grandson Qin Qianjue. Moreover, Qin Qianjue's sister is engaged to a very important person. Now there's going to be a good show."
The numerous minor sects and independent cultivators present were buzzing with excitement.
It was like ordinary people watching a battle between wealthy families live; everyone started gossiping.
Regardless of the circumstances, in their view, Li Ming must have an extraordinary background to say such a thing. At the very least, he was not afraid of the Nine Yang Sect, or even the two sects joining forces.
Upon hearing Li Ming's words, the Nine Yang Sect elder's face turned pale. He was an inner sect elder of the Nine Yang Sect, and usually treated with great respect by the many true disciples. It had been a long time since he had been treated like this, and he was instantly enraged.
"You brat, although I don't know how you sneaked in, everyone can see that this place is a formation opened by my Nine Yang Sect and the Qin family. What gives you the right to go in?"
"Furthermore, I ask you! Where are the Holy Son and elders of my Nine Yang Sect? And where are the members of the Qin family?"
"If anything happens to them, even with the Holy Maiden Fuyao protecting you, the Nine Yang Sect and the Qin family will not let you off the hook!"
After saying that, the murderous intent in the other person's eyes could no longer be concealed, or perhaps they had no intention of hiding it at all.
"hehe."
Li Ming merely gave a cold laugh, his voice becoming utterly indifferent:
"Why should I be allowed in?"
"My name is Huang, and I am a descendant of the Azure Emperor. Am I not even qualified to enter?"
"Furthermore, what right do you have to steal the things that Qingtian Ancient City has inherited?"
Li Ming retorted with a series of questions, staring at the crowd before him, pressing them with unparalleled force. His aura was incredibly oppressive, as if a great emperor's wrath could cause millions to fall.
Now that he had taken the most important inheritance, Li Ming would no longer hide or pretend.
I'm coming clean!
He used to hide his identity simply because he was afraid of being harmed by malicious people. Although his identity was noble and righteous, it was still too dangerous without the strength to rely on.
He now has quite a few trump cards up his sleeve, and even if the God of War makes a move, he is confident in facing him.
For him, the most crucial thing right now is to reap a large wave of life energy.
There are too many entries, they're all eagerly awaiting submission.
Li Ming's sudden aura of pressure forced the Nine Yang Sect elder to involuntarily take a half step back, his palms sweating profusely, as if he were truly facing a great emperor.
This indifferent and cold voice drifted slowly through the sky, resounding in the ears of many.
Wasteland?
A descendant of the Azure Emperor?
The field fell into a deathly silence.
Some of the independent cultivators were dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
Each identity is earth-shattering news, enough to shake the entire Xuanhuang Realm.
Many holy sites and independent cultivators who witnessed this scene were deeply shaken.
Feng Yuxiu was shocked, then overjoyed. Damn, he was able to bring this back! What kind of skill is this?!
When everyone looked again, they could see that the young man in white before them possessed an aura of supreme authority.
This child has the makings of a great emperor!
"Huang Yuan was originally the successor of the Azure Emperor. So it seems reasonable that he could hold the top spot on the Xuanhuang Ranking."
"No wonder this person was able to enter the Azure Sky Ancient City so easily before. Could he really be the successor of the Azure Emperor?"
"If he is the successor of the Azure Emperor, then the inheritance of the Azure Heaven God King should truly belong to him."
"Wait, he says it's desolate, so it's desolate? I'm still the Holy Son of Xuanhuang!"
"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know, but the Holy Maiden Fuyao is a descendant of the Azure Emperor. Therefore, no one has dared to offend her as she travels the world all these years. If you have the Holy Maiden Xuanhuang by your side, I will also believe that you are the Holy Son of Xuanhuang."
Li Ming's public entry into Qingtian Ancient City and his subsequent long absence from public view had already fueled speculation.
Now that he has revealed his identity, many people have immediately started analyzing him.
After all that, many people have begun to believe Li Ming's words.
"The Azure Emperor... he is rumored to be one of the top three emperors in history, who once suppressed his contemporaries and was unmatched in all the heavens."
Some people reminisced about the past of the Green Emperor and sighed.
The Azure Emperor—what a figure he was! The most recent emperor of our time, hailed as one of the most amazing figures throughout history, with a mysterious origin and unparalleled cultivation.
His successor is rightfully considered the greatest genius of our time.
On the field, some experts from powerful families looked intently at Li Ming, many wanting to discern his true strength.
Ordinary people may not know how powerful the Azure Emperor is, and only think that the Azure Emperor is the Great Emperor of the Human Race and has made unparalleled contributions.
However, many powerful and long-established forces know that the contribution was immense, and the strength of the Azure Emperor is unimaginable.
In that great war, the great demon possessed an unparalleled treasure, leading countless demons and monsters to destroy several great worlds and even cause the fall of several immortal beings. The resurrection of ancient immortals and gods could not stop its advance.
If it weren't for the Azure Emperor's intervention, who single-handedly killed that great demon, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Of course, many powerful forces also contributed greatly during that era. Many lords of holy lands died in battle in the starry sky, and many treasures of these forces were lost.
However, the Qingdi family suffered the most severe losses.
Cursed, torn apart.
Although the remaining people are attached to certain holy sites and powerful clans, and ordinary people dare not offend them, they still do not live a very good life.
After all, from being the most powerful force in Xuanhuang, a family of emperors, and possessing an immortal legacy, they have fallen to the point of being subservient to others...
The sense of loss caused many members of the Qingdi family to give up resisting the curse on the spot and simply give up and wait for death.
Immediately, many people in the arena looked at the Nine Yang Sect elder who had spoken so arrogantly, their gazes filled with sarcasm and mockery.
His eyes were filled with reverence and admiration as he looked at Li Ming.
This is the descendant of the Azure Emperor, the descendant of the supreme emperor of the human race, and the descendant of an unparalleled hero who turned the tide.
"you……"
The elder of the Nine Yang Sect opened his mouth as if to say something, but feeling countless gazes piercing his back like knives, he could no longer utter a word.
In his youth, he also greatly admired the Azure Emperor, the great emperor of the human race.
Looking back on what I just said, I suddenly feel like a ridiculous red-nosed character.
Blanch!
He's never been so humiliated in his life!
"You say you're Huang, so you're Huang? And how can you prove you're a descendant of the Azure Emperor?"
"And where did the others who went in go?"
At this moment, a master from the Qin family, a Celestial Realm expert, stepped forward and voiced his doubts.
"The Qin family and the Nine Yang Sect attacked me when I was fighting the Golden-Winged Roc, and now they have all been suppressed by me."
Li Ming said calmly:
“He deserves to die a thousand deaths, but considering that he did not know my identity, I can be treated leniently.”
"He's right."
Mu Chiyao spoke softly, her voice as melodious and pleasant as a fairy playing music.
With just a simple sentence, it seems as if the matter has been settled.
This not only confirmed the fact that the Nine Yang Sect and the Qin family had launched a sneak attack, but also confirmed Li Ming's identity.
At this moment, the atmosphere seemed to turn somewhat cold, and all eyes were focused on Li Ming. Many people's eyes flickered with meaningful glances.
This is the ancient city of Qingtian, the Temple of the God King.
If Li Ming's identity is confirmed, then wouldn't everyone present be a thief or a robber?
Although everyone admires the Azure Emperor, it doesn't mean that the Azure Emperor's current reputation can deter everyone present.
It should be understood that the Azure Emperor has passed away, and the various holy lands, divine dynasties, and immortal lineages are now the ones in charge.
Whew~
The Qin family elder, having weathered many storms, composed himself and asked with considerable respect:
"According to Your Highness's words, how can we possibly spare the young master and elders of my Qin family, as well as the Holy Son and elders of the Nine Yang Sect?"
Although he was a master of the Celestial Realm and held a high position of power within the clan, he dared not put on any airs at this moment.
A descendant of the Azure Emperor, if the Azure Emperor were alive, he would be considered a prince of the emperor, a figure of immeasurable nobility.
It wouldn't be shameful for him to address you as "Your Highness."
Moreover, the experts from the Qin family and the Nine Yang Sect who entered the hall were all suppressed by the other party, which means that the other party is not only of extremely noble status, but also has unbelievable strength.
Or perhaps there are other experts behind the scenes, but they are hiding.
The fact that the Holy Maiden Fuyao was also on Li Ming's side forced him to reconsider.
"I'll have to think about it carefully. Anyway, I can guarantee that your young master Qin and the Holy Son of the Nine Yang Sect will be safe."
Li Ming nodded slightly, not making things too difficult for the other party.
He couldn't possibly say I need the innate essence of fire right now, that would make it seem like he did it on purpose... even though he does have a plan.
