Upon hearing this, Xing Jinghan felt an urge to refute, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by the Ninth Ancestor waving his hand.
Then the Ninth Ancestor simply said, "Just listen to me."
Seeing the Ninth Ancestor's resolute attitude, Xing Jinghan knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so he fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, the Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan turned his gaze to Ouyang Bai, a cold smile appearing on his lips, and slowly said, "Since you have decided to start the Epoch War, then one year from now, our Yuan Clan will be waiting for you all to come and die."
Upon hearing the arrogant words of the Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan, the Palace Master of the Innate Palace turned pale with anger. He pointed angrily at the Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan, wanting to rebuke him.
But just as he was about to speak, Ouyang Bai stopped him.
Ouyang Bai looked calmly at the Yuan Clan's Ninth Ancestor and said slowly, "A year from now will be the time of their annihilation. What's the point of arguing with them about this now?"
Having said that, he turned to the two vice hall masters of the Heavenly Fate Immortal Palace behind him and said, "Let's go!"
Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Bai and the two vice hall masters of the Heavenly Fate Immortal Palace vanished from the spot in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the Palace Master of the Innate Palace and the ancestors of the other major forces also disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, the Yuan people surged towards the location of the Ninth Ancestor like a tidal wave.
They filed in, their movements perfectly synchronized, each person appearing respectful and solemn.
Then they all bowed and said in unison, "Greetings, Ninth Ancestor!"
The Ninth Ancestor nodded with a smile, then turned his gaze to Yuan Zhexian, nodding slightly to show his approval and appreciation.
Then, his gaze shifted to Yuan Qingxu, his smile softening as he said softly, "Qingxu, Xiaoling, you've suffered!"
Upon hearing the Ninth Ancestor's words, Yuan Qingxu first glanced at Yuan Zhexian, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes. Then, he respectfully replied to the Ninth Ancestor, "We are indeed very grateful to Zhexian this time. If it weren't for him, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape from that strange space."
Hearing this, Yuan Xingdao and Xing Jinghan, who were standing to the side, finally had their doubts answered.
It turns out that Yuan Qingxu and Gu Ling were actually sucked into that strange space by the spatial power of the universe.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded and continued, "This can be considered a stroke of luck for you both. You have now successfully advanced to the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, while Xiao Ling has reached the Immortal King realm."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingxu nodded again in agreement.
He was well aware of the hardships and difficulties he had faced in falling into this strange space, and that his current achievements were indeed due to a stroke of luck.
Just then, the powerful figures from various factions who hadn't made a move before also came to the Yuan Clan. They looked at the Yuan Clan with curiosity or awe, as if they were waiting for something.
One of the quasi-immortal emperor ancestors from the Heavenly Void Emperor Sect stared at the unconscious and floating Heavenly Void Divine Child behind Yuan Zhexian, a complex expression on his face.
He took a deep breath and then said to Yuan Zhexian, "I wonder if Yuan Zhexian could return our sect's divine child to us?"
Seeing this, the powerful figures from other forces also chimed in, asking Yuan Zhexian if he was willing to return their respective divine sons and daughters, imperial sons and daughters, and Dao sons.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He glanced around at the powerful figures from various forces.
Then, he calmly replied, "You seniors are too kind. They belong to your respective factions, so how can there be any talk of returning them?"
Upon hearing Yuan Zhexian's words, the powerful figures from all the factions breathed a sigh of relief.
They secretly rejoiced that they hadn't acted impulsively towards Yuan Zhexian earlier, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
However, although Yuan Zhexian's words reassured them somewhat, they would have to wait until their divine sons and daughters, imperial sons and daughters, and Dao sons awakened before they could fully believe what he said.
After all, only by having these people confirm it themselves can they know the whole story.
After the various forces rescued their divine sons and daughters, imperial sons and daughters, and Dao sons, they bid farewell to the Yuan Clan, Dao Palace, Qilin Clan, Jingyue Clan, and others.
Afterwards, the Moon Lord and other powerful members of the Moon Emperor Clan waved goodbye to the Yuan Clan and then streaked across the sky like shooting stars, disappearing from their original positions in an instant.
As the powerful figures of the Linglong Emperor Sect were about to depart, Xing Jinghan deliberately approached a quasi-Immortal Emperor ancestor and whispered a few words to him.
The ancestor nodded, seemingly understanding Xing Jinghan's meaning.
After explaining everything, Xing Jinghan resolutely decided to stay with the Yuan Clan and face the challenges ahead together with everyone.
Immediately afterwards, the Ninth Ancestor said loudly, "Then let's go back to the Yuan Clan to discuss this."
His voice, like a booming bell, echoed in everyone's ears.
After saying that, the Ninth Ancestor waved his arm, and a huge spatial rift appeared suddenly before everyone's eyes like a black lightning bolt.
This spatial rift is like a crack in the universe, unfathomably deep, radiating energy fluctuations that send chills down your spine.
Seeing this, everyone stepped into the spatial rift without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, their figures disappeared from the spot.
When everyone reappeared, they had arrived at the Yuan Clan's council hall.
At this moment, the Ninth and Tenth Patriarchs sat upright on the main seats, their figures as majestic as mountains, giving people a sense of calm and awe.
Yuan Zhexian and Yuan Muqing stood quietly to the side.
They stood on the lower left, with Yuan Xingdao, Xing Jinghan, Yuan Qingxu, Gu Ling, Yuan Qianmo and other Supreme Elders of the Yuan Clan at the Immortal King Realm standing in turn.
Behind them, a group of young prodigies and geniuses of the Yuan clan, including Yuan Wuluo, Yuan Haoran, Yuan Ruochu, and Yuan Taixu, stood in a neat row.
On the right side was a group of quasi-immortal emperors, including the Human Ancestor, Ye Zhetian, the Chaos Emperor, the Six Paths Heavenly Emperor, Elder Xue, the Qilin Lord, and so on.
Just then, the Ninth Ancestor noticed that Yuan Zhexian's gaze was fixed on the Human Ancestor, Ye Zhetian, and others, and a clear look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
The Ninth Ancestor smiled slightly, then slowly explained, "Immortal, are you curious about why Qi Zhen and Zhe Tian are here?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian remained silent for a moment before nodding silently in agreement with the Ninth Ancestor's statement.
Seeing this, the Ninth Patriarch continued, "Actually, the reason is very simple."
"Because the Dao Palace and the Immortal Court are originally forces under the control of our Yuan Clan."
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"I am the previous Immortal Lord of the Celestial Court, and the Tenth Prince is the previous Palace Master of the Dao Palace."
These words were like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar among the crowd.
Apart from the Ancestor of Humanity, Ye Zhetian, Liudao, and Elder Xue, everyone else was so astonished that they couldn't close their mouths, their faces filled with disbelief.
