Hearing Zi Cangyu personally utter a threat caused many people in the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall to shake their heads inwardly and sigh, looking at Ye Chen with a thick sense of sympathy.
Offending a Heaven's Pride prodigy of the Cangtian Divine Sect was one thing, but offending the most outstanding Zi Cangyu basically meant standing completely opposite the Cangtian Divine Sect.
Opposing such a super force, the consequences were easy to imagine.
Even many people queuing in front of Ye Chen fearfully moved further away, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Beside him, Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, Will, and Shan Ji stepped forward, their expressions dark. Among them, Shen Rong even directly sent a voice transmission: "Little Moon, should we act immediately and wipe out these arrogant fellows? A mere small force with only one Divine King dares to clamor like this? Their courage is not small."
A so-called Divine King?
A so-called super force?
Hah, they were nothing more than ordinary powerhouses and forces that could be annihilated with a wave of their hand in their eyes. Hadn't they destroyed plenty over the years?
Ye Chen shook his head. "Let's decide on this matter after we come out of the Emperor Star Secret Realm. Right now, we have a rare chance to cultivate in a Supreme Secret Realm, and one with various Dao Stars at that. It's a rare cultivation ground we shouldn't miss."
"Agreed!"
Seeing Ye Chen's mind was made up, the other human Heaven's Prides all nodded.
Li Chaotian, Dong Gu, and the other four Divine Kings swept a glance over Zi Cangyu and the other Cangtian Divine Sect members, their eyes carrying a hint of pity.
Daring to offend the young lords of the human race was truly a suicidal act.
Seeing the icy and pitying looks from the human Heaven's Prides and the four Divine Kings, Zi Cangyu and the other Cangtian Divine Sect prodigies frowned. For some reason, they felt these people weren't afraid of the Cangtian Divine Sect at all. On the contrary, the gaze directed at them held a peculiar kind of pity.
Yet, the ones who should truly be pitied were these people.
Ye Chen looked at the Great Power Elder. "Senior, please proceed with the teleportation."
The Great Power Elder's impression of Ye Chen was still quite good. He added, "Are you sure you don't want to go to a higher-level Dao Star?"
"No need. Please proceed, Senior," Ye Chen said.
Seeing this, the Great Power Elder also shook his head inwardly. He had initially thought this was a Heaven's Pride of the great era, with hope of becoming a future Divine King. He never expected him to not dare to cultivate on a higher-level Dao Star, stopping at a first-level one. How much progress could he ultimately make?
Moreover, he had the audacity to offend the young Heaven's Prides of the Cangtian Divine Sect, including Zi Cangyu, who was almost certain to become a future Divine King.
Immediately, his expression cooled a few degrees. "Since that's the case, I'll teleport you. It requires one hundred thousand jin of spirit stones."
Ye Chen was slightly taken aback by the Great Power Elder's cold expression, then quickly understood, revealing a trace of a bitter smile. But he didn't argue, handing over the one hundred thousand jin of spirit stones and stepping into the teleportation array. With a flash of light, his entire person vanished.
Behind him, the Handsome Young Master, seeing Ye Chen actually go to a first-level Dark Gold Dao Star, snorted coldly. "Truly a cowardly bandit who only knows how to flee. Spending one hundred thousand jin of spirit stones just to go to a first-level Dark Gold Dao Star. If he had entered a higher-level Dark Gold Dao Star, this young master could have conveniently killed him."
After teleporting into a Dao Star, unless one teleported back to the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall, it was basically impossible to travel from one Dao Star to another.
Of course, if one were a Transcendent powerhouse, they could traverse between stars within the Emperor Star Secret Realm and go to other Dao Stars, disregarding such intangible rules of the secret realm.
"Cowardly bandit?" At this moment, Yu Qing looked at the Handsome Young Master. She removed her veil, revealing her true face. That peerlessly beautiful countenance was enough to captivate the mortal world, adorned with a soft, clear radiance that enveloped her body, like a celestial immortal from the Ninth Heaven. It caused everyone in the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall to tremble slightly in their hearts, stunned.
How could there be such an exquisitely beautiful woman in this world? She was worthy of ranking among the Ten Great Beauties of the Supreme Ancient Domain. Why had they never seen such a fairy-like, city-toppling beauty before?
At this moment, the Handsome Young Master suddenly snapped back to reality, immediately resuming his usual gentle and refined demeanor. Paired with his exceptionally handsome face, it was enough to enchant countless young maidens. He heard him make a graceful bow, cupping his fists. "This humble one is Xuan Qiong. Greetings, Fairy. May I ask which Dao Star the Fairy wishes to go to? This humble one is quite familiar with the Emperor Star Secret Realm and can guide the Fairy."
This fairy was simply countless times more beautiful than his junior sister, the red-clothed maiden, and the other women in his sect. It made the Handsome Young Master's heart flutter uncontrollably. He desperately wished to have her in his hands, to cherish and dote on such a celestial beauty.
Beside him, the red-clothed maiden immediately raised her delicate eyebrows, looking at the handsome young master named Xuan Qiong with visible anger.
Not long ago, he had been utterly obedient to her, his junior sister, and she herself had begun to consider him a potential Dao companion. Who would have thought that upon seeing the even more beautiful Yu Qing, he would disregard her presence right beside him and step forward to lavish her with attention?
However, facing Yu Qing, the red-clothed maiden felt ashamed of her own appearance. Though her own looks were considered top-tier, before Yu Qing, she was like a flickering firefly trying to compete with the bright moon—utterly insignificant.
Yu Qing, however, looked at Young Master Xuan Qiong. Her cherry lips parted slightly, her pearly white teeth like jade. Her voice was as beautiful and pleasing as her appearance, yet carried a hint of chill. "Who were you just calling a cowardly bandit?"
Hearing Yu Qing's words, Xuan Qiong immediately said proudly, "Naturally, it was that fellow from earlier, the fifth-level Heavenly King. Not only was he ill-mannered, but to avoid this young master's retaliation, he didn't hesitate to go to a first-level Dark Gold Dao Star. If that's not a cowardly bandit, what is? Does the Fairy know him?"
"I do," Yu Qing said.
Xuan Qiong was startled. In his heart, jealousy towards Ye Chen grew even stronger. He actually knew such a peerless celestial beauty who could captivate all ages? Immediately, he gave a cold laugh inwardly, but on his face, he wore a bright, sunny smile. "So the Fairy is friends with him. In that case, out of respect for the Fairy, this humble one can decide that if that person comes out, the Cangtian Divine Sect will not hold his offense against him."
"Friends?" Yu Qing gently shook her head. "He is not my friend."
Hearing this, the smile on Xuan Qiong's face grew even brighter and more radiant. Excellent! Just as he was about to speak, Yu Qing's next words caused the smile on his face to instantly freeze. He heard her say softly, "He is my husband."
*Crash—*
In a daze, it seemed one could hear the sound of countless hearts shattering.
This celestial beauty actually had a husband? And it was that fifth-level Heavenly King junior who entered the first-level Dark Gold Dao Star? It made everyone feel like a beautiful flower had been stuck in a pile of cow dung.
Xuan Qiong's face was filled with intense jealousy, his fists clenched tightly.
Behind him, A Beinu also lowered the veil on her face, similarly revealing a face of world-toppling beauty. Different from Yu Qing's cool elegance, hers was enchanting and radiant, causing many people's hearts to flutter once again.
Another world-toppling fairy.
Two world-toppling celestial beauties had appeared all at once. This was simply insane. Their beauty could be compared to the famed Ten Great Fairies of the Supreme Ancient Domain, perhaps even surpassing them.
But A Beinu also parted her red lips towards Xuan Qiong: "He is also my husband."
