"..."

The Quasi-Emperor strongmen surrounding the twelve-winged Archangel in a circular siege were all silent in the face of this coldness.

The killing intent around them was no longer obvious, instead, it was restrained.

After a long time, a voice of an elder came:

"The Domain Master of the West was joking. Countless beings in the Northern Immortal Domain are in an uncertain state of life and death. The Supreme Emperor is pursuing them at the risk of his life, how can we take advantage of this situation to attack the Divine General of the Heavenly Court?"

"Then why are you surrounding me!"

Taotie's eyes flashed with fierce light, already gripping two Quasi-Emperor Artifacts, ready to strike at any moment.

"Naturally, it is to protect the Divine General of the Heavenly Court and the Domain Masters."

An extremely beautiful fairy walked out, dressed in a luxurious purple palace gown, and as she moved, the hem of her skirt swayed with countless starlight.

With a gentle smile on her face: "What's wrong? The Supreme Emperor protects the Northern Immortal Domain, and we protect the Heavenly Court. Is there anything inappropriate? The experts hiding in the shadows are unpredictable."

"Quasi-Emperor Zi Tianxuan of the Purple Star Palace!" Taotie's gaze grew more murderous.

The Purple Star Palace has been passed down for twenty epochs, and this Holy Lands once had a Great Emperor seed, who was a peak Immortal Venerable alongside the Supreme Emperor during his life.

In the struggle to seize the opportunity to step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, the Great Emperor seed of the Purple Star Palace, obviously at a disadvantage, actually invited seven elderly Immortal Venerables whose lifespan was running out and had no hope of becoming Quasi-Emperors.

Intending to exhaust the Supreme Emperor!

The result was naturally failure.

That day, the Supreme Emperor wielded a longsword and killed eight Immortal Venerables consecutively, then transcended the boundary ravine to slay a Purple Star Palace Quasi-Emperor who had just entered the first Heaven.

Thus, enmity was sown between the Heavenly Court and the Purple Star Palace, with an irreconcilable hatred.

So, would the Purple Star Palace sincerely protect the Heavenly Court and the few Domain Masters closely connected with the Supreme Emperor?

Even with the slightest thought, this is impossible.

"Not bad, Purple Star Palace speaks better than it sings. In recent years, hasn't the Purple Star Palace been smearing the Heavenly Court and my Qingqiu Fox Demon Clan in the Southern Immortal Domain?"

The Domain Master of the Southern Immortal Domain spoke, his voice neither charming nor demonic, but instead crisp like that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth.

"Little fox, you merely just stepped into the second Heavens of the Quasi-Emperor, even your old ancestor Yousu Qinghuan wouldn't dare be so presumptuous towards me."

Quasi-Emperor Zi Tianxuan's smile gradually diminished: "Furthermore, one can eat wild fruits, but words cannot be spoken recklessly."

The Quasi-Emperor of the Qingqiu Fox Demon was silent.

He had only exited seclusion recently and could not fully exert the power of the second Heavens as a Quasi-Emperor, facing the old witch of the Purple Star Palace in front of him with almost no chance of victory.

If only Qinghuan the Old Ancestor were here.

He thought regretfully, but unfortunately, the Old Ancestor's whereabouts have been unknown for a long time. If not for the Old Ancestor's life plate being intact within the clan, he would even suspect the Old Ancestor encountered misfortune. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Indeed, we Fengyue Pavilion and Purple Star Palace are willing to jointly safeguard the safety of our fellow Daoists."

Another young woman walked out with a light laugh, her white gauze dress was very transparent, her body fleetingly visible within the mist, truly fascinating.

Compared to the Qingqiu Fox Demon, the one in front of him looked more like a fox spirit.

The appearance of the Fengyue Pavilion Quasi-Emperor.

Simultaneously attracted the gaze of Anna and her sisters, as well as Fairy Qing Yuan and Qingqiu Quasi-Emperor.

Anna sneered and said: "Fengyue Pavilion should simply conduct Fengyue business properly, selling those inferior Jade Slips, fabricating and spreading rumors widely without fearing a loss of virtue."

Where there are people, there is the Jianghu, and Jianghu loves gossip most; stories of heroes and beauties are eternally in vogue.

And in recent years, Fengyue Pavilion has worked on a series of tales about the Supreme Emperor's romantic exploits, earning a tremendous amount of Spirit Stones across the Four Immortal Domains.

Most of it was purely made-up nonsense, making Anna herself nearly nauseous.

"What are the Domain Masters saying? Hua Xuemei doesn't understand."

Fengyue Pavilion's Quasi-Emperor Hua Xuemei blinked her eyes, feigning confusion.

"So it turns out the licentious behavior in Fengyue Pavilion is top-down, no wonder there's a stench."

Anna smiled faintly: "By the way, I heard that you were sold to a mundane world brothel by your poor childhood sweetheart back then, only by chance embarking on the path of cultivation, step by step climbing to your current position in Fengyue Pavilion."

"You boldly reformed, and the Holy Lands originally tucked away in a corner were forcibly 'promoted by you', your childhood sweetheart really had an eye for talent, knew you were this capable."

Having said this.

She turned to her sister: "Have you seen an old spinster over ten thousand years old flirting? I've never seen it."

"..."

Hua Xuemei's pretty face instantly turned gloomy.

"Well done!"

Though often confronting the twelve-winged Archangel Anna since he couldn't expose the Supreme Emperor's location, Divine General Taotie couldn't help but give a thumbs up at this moment.

A few short lines making the Fengyue Pavilion Quasi-Emperor break her defense, indeed worthy of being a woman even the Supreme Emperor finds troublesome.

The air was thick with gunpowder.

Both sides stood in tense confrontation, ready to draw swords at any moment; if not for lacking guaranteed victory certainty and strong enemies lurking in the shadows, they would likely immediately clash.

"Swoosh"

"Swoosh"

"Swoosh"

Just then, one figure after another appeared at the edge of Annihilation Space.

"Sect Master!"

"Did I miss something?"

"I came to see what happened for my granddaughter Yan Chunfeng, why have you been surrounded, Domain Master Yousu."

They included Quasi-Emperors from the Green Sect, the Angel Clan, and the various clans harboring the Heavenly Court's hundred Divine Generals.

All at once.

The situation was reversed.

Quasi-Emperors from Holy Lands like the Purple Star Palace and Fengyue Pavilion looked displeased, quietly gathering together, shifting from offense to defense.

In terms of numbers.

They still had more people on their side.

With a total of twenty-seven Quasi-Emperors from major Holy Lands.

In contrast, on the Heavenly Court's side, including the reinforcements, there were less than fifteen.

But they recognized that among them was an elder surrounded by deathly aura, that one was a Quasi-Emperor of the Taotie Clan.

A senior mighty being that had already stepped into the Nine Heavens of the Quasi-Emperor Realm fifteen thousand years ago, strength unfathomable.

"Old Taotie is actually still alive. Clearly, it was declared ten thousand years ago he had passed away..."

Everyone was shocked.

"Ancestor."

Taotie was surprised, never thought the ancestor would come out of seclusion.

This was the Taotie Clan's hidden third Quasi-Emperor, also its greatest trump card.

"Hmm."

The hunched elderly Taotie lifted his head to glance at countless generations of descendants, with satisfaction in his eyes.

Old Taotie's gaze then turned to the Quasi-Emperors of various Holy Lands, nodding with a smile.

Zi Tianxuan and others could no longer laugh, only felt plunged into immeasurable darkness, their backs chilly.

This old Taotie ranks in the top three among Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouses in the Four Immortal Domains!

If not for falling into the trap of evil people back then, he might have proven the Dao Fruit of the Emperor Realm and became the Great Emperor of the last epoch.

Adding onto that is Fairy Qing Yuan, who is likewise in the Nine Heavens of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Just these two joining forces are sufficient to ensure at least a dozen Quasi-Emperors cannot leave alive today, the situation instantly reversed to adversity.

"Scram."

Taotie's voice boomed.

With the ancestor present, he need not fear any powers.

A brief silence.

The sound of breaking through the air continued ceaselessly, the Quasi-Emperors, despite unwillingness, could only depart from this place.

Suddenly, old Taotie spoke: "Heard some Holy Lands spread stories about Xu Qingfeng and my Little Glutton, often old people like to read these."

"..."

About to leave, Hua Xuemei's body stiffened.
