At this moment, the eyes of the crowd who had been ignoring the Flame Emperor suddenly lit up.
They stopped mocking Tianhui the old Taoist and instead looked at Yanhuang, whom they had previously ignored.
Emperor Yan was immediately startled, because he sensed that the eyes of these peerless experts showed no respect whatsoever, more like a cat seeing a mouse or a wolf seeing a fat sheep.
The man with palms as large as fans suddenly unleashed his powerful aura, shattering the space around him, and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, young master has excellent taste! Having a queen as your concubine is quite nice!"
The person carrying the sword box also had eyes as sharp as swords. The sword box behind him slowly opened, revealing nine world-shaking divine swords with unparalleled cold light:
"Then let's see who kills all the Great Yan Supremes first and seizes the Great Yan Empress."
The old Taoist Tianhui, who had been constantly scolded, finally found an outlet for his anger, and looked at the Emperor Yan with boundless fury in his eyes.
Boom!
Just then, the Flame Emperor suddenly felt the earth shake violently, but it was not directed at him. Moreover, the entire world was shaking violently, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth was sinking, and all living beings were in imminent danger!
Click!
The sound of shattering echoed for thousands of miles, and the seemingly indestructible top-level formation that had enveloped the imperial city crumbled at this moment.
But then they saw a muscular, nine-foot-nine-foot-tall, perfectly formed body cultivator break through the Great Yan Imperial City's grand formation with his bare body, his voice booming like thunder:
"Enough with the nonsense! The credit for this must go to my Guyang City!"
On this day, the Great Yan Dynasty collapsed, and even the past space and the void shattered, leaving only a dark void in the entire imperial city.
Its might swept across the nine provinces surrounding the Great Yan Dynasty, flattening the entire Great Yan. Countless forces were damaged by its residual power, but none of them dared to utter a word.
Because the ancient, scarlet characters hanging high in the sky were telling of its terror...
Zhou Xingdou also returned to Jiuxuan Peak, unaware of the events of the Great Yan Dynasty. As soon as he stepped in, he happened to see Lin Fan happily leading Qiu Yu, preparing to leave Jiuxuan Peak.
At this moment, Lin Fan also saw Zhou Xingdou. His expression immediately hardened, but it quickly vanished as he smiled, pretending to be very happy, and said:
"Senior Brother, you're finally back! I heard you fought a Saint in Lingguang City, defeated the Crown Prince of Great Yan, and threatened the Yan Emperor. You were truly amazing."
Zhou Xingdou naturally knew that Lin Fan was just being polite. He glanced at Qiu Yu beside her and saw that Qiu Yu's plain clothes had been changed into a brocade dress, and her appearance was no longer resembling that of a maid.
Looking at Lin Fan again, Zhou Xingdou saw that Lin Fan had glanced at Qiu Yu and moved his body to block Qiu Yu from view, which showed a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Zhou Xingdou knew that Qiu Yu had probably completed the task he had given her.
Then, Zhou Xingdou smiled enigmatically and asked Lin Fan:
"Junior brother, are you going to leave the peak?"
Lin Fan clasped his hands slightly and said slowly:
"Take Qiuyu out for a stroll. Don't worry, Senior Brother, Lin Fan has already broken through to the Profound Realm and is able to leave the peak."
At this point, Lin Fan changed the subject and cautiously asked:
"Senior Brother, I heard that your conflict with the Crown Prince of Great Yan that day was because of Liu Yanran?"
There are no secrets in the world, and the news of what Zhou Xingdou did in Lingguang City spread throughout Tianxuan Holy State within a day.
Although he had tried to conceal his relationship with the Liu family, there were always people who could hear his conversations with Huo Lingtian.
As Liu Yanran was the object of Lin Fan's three-year agreement, how could Lin Fan not care about this matter? For him, if Zhou Xingdou got together with Liu Yanran, it would be detrimental to him.
Zhou Xingdou's mind raced, and in an instant, he came up with an excuse, looking directly at Lin Fan as he said:
"No, to be precise, it's because of you. I know that Liu Yanran had a three-year agreement with you, and I felt that only by having my junior brother defeat her personally could you relieve your hatred. That's why I saved her."
Lin Fan was immediately moved:
"My senior brother treats me like family. I really don't know how I can repay him in the future."
Zhou Xingdou scoffed inwardly, thinking, "That's not family, I'm your stepfather," but he still wore a relieved smile on his face.
"I'm glad you understand. We're all family, there's no need for this. Just go about your business as usual."
After saying this, Zhou Xingdou solemnly patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and then strode away.
The moment Zhou Xingdou left, Lin Fan's expression darkened. He didn't disbelieve Zhou Xingdou's words, but he still had doubts.
However, looking at Qiu Yu beside him, a deep affection appeared in his eyes. For some reason, he grew to love this personal maid who had grown up with him more and more.
He was even somewhat fascinated; every smile and frown of Qiuyu captivated his heart. He no longer wanted Qiuyu to be a maid, and these past few days he had been either buying her clothes or taking her out for walks.
He always felt that Qiu Yu was the woman destined for him, and moreover, with their deep past relationship as a foundation, Lin Fan didn't even sense anything unusual.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan swept away the gloom in his heart and smiled at Qiu Yu, saying:
"Sister Qiuyu, today we're going to Huishanju in Tianyuan City. I've heard the food there is amazing. I'll take you there to try it."
But little did he know that Qiu Yu's heart was already filled with Zhou Xingdou, and she was still savoring Zhou Xingdou's appearance just now, revealing a shy expression.
This made Lin Fan think that it was his words that made Qiu Yu blush, and he was overjoyed. He then pulled Qiu Yu away from Jiuxuan Peak.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xingdou also arrived in the vicinity of Qingxin Palace. Along the way, he encountered other disciples and naturally learned that the Crown Princess of Da Yan had been placed with Elder Ning.
But that makes sense. After all, although he has two residences, one is inside the Nine Profound Palace, which is an important place in the sect. It is impossible to use the place where Tian Jiu'er lives to settle down.
As for his own Qingxin Hall, no one can enter without his permission, so he can only leave it to Elder Ning.
The Qingxin Hall is located on this floor, second only to the summit, and is also the residence of the elders.
Both You Ji and Ning Yueze were settled on this floor, but the Nine Profound Palace was not small, so they could not be considered neighbors, and their residences were not close to each other.
After telling Fahai to return to Qingxin Hall, Zhou Xingdou stepped into a courtyard.
The courtyard was very small, almost the same size as an ordinary farmhouse. If it weren't for the array covering it and the rich spiritual energy emanating from it, one would really think that mortals lived on Nine Profound Peak.
Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but raise his head slightly, looking at the simple courtyard gate with a blue wooden plaque hanging horizontally above it.
The wooden plaque had no paint, only hand-carved grooves with the following words:
The moon resides there.
To be honest, this wasn't his first time here, but every time he came to Ning Yueze's residence, he couldn't help but marvel at Ning Yueze's eccentricities.
The reason her dwelling was so simple was because Ning Yue liked to pretend to be an ordinary person and a village girl.
That's right. She's the strict, unyielding elder in charge of affairs at Jiuxuan Peak, a powerful woman at the Great Saint Realm, who enjoys experiencing ordinary life at home.
Otherwise, with Ning Yueze's power and wealth, how could she possibly live in such a dilapidated mud-brick house and rotten wood courtyard?
