Ming Zhitian nodded, which caused Bai Liao to become displeased. "A joke, old man! I've roamed the ancient cultivation world for eight hundred years! And I can't even defeat someone in the Awakening Realm?"
The Star Empress quickly explained, "Grandson didn't mean it like that."
Ming Zhitian looked at the Supreme Honored Emperor. "And who are you?"
The Star Empress said, "This is my brother. Please show mercy."
Her fear was not of Ming Zhitian, but of Mo Li Divine Venerable, whom she had seen at the Divine Sect. How powerful he was, even she couldn't discern. Mo Li Divine Venerable was not merely at the first level of the Divine Might Realm.
With just that faint, profound gaze, her pure and clean soul felt like it had fallen into an abyss of ice.
However, the Supreme Honored Emperor was suddenly enraged, feeling insulted. "Sister, step aside. Brother will handle this kid."
Ming Zhitian shook his head. "You are not my match yet. To save time, all three of you can come at me together."
"Arrogant!"
Bai Liao drew his sword and unleashed a thunderous strike: "Falling Seal Emperor Flower Art!"
The Star Empress panicked, fearing her grandfather might accidentally kill Ming Zhitian.
Ultimately, her worry was unnecessary. Relying on the 'Record of Swords and Books', Ming Zhitian could contend with a peak ninth-level Divine Luo Realm expert.
"Four-Star Dragon Yao Flower Halberd Art!"
"Come forth!"
Seeing this, the Supreme Honored Emperor also unleashed his ultimate move: "Qian Dong Nine Provinces!"
To secure his own position, the Wandering Flame Honored Emperor couldn't care less and joined the battle, instantly forming a three-on-one situation.
Ming Zhitian repelled the Supreme Honored Emperor with two swift strikes. Just as Bai Liao was about to strike Ming Zhitian from behind!
The Star Empress quickly blocked. "Grandfather, show mercy!"
Bai Liao frowned. "Chenchen, what are you doing? Why are you siding with outsiders?"
The Star Empress said, "I will explain the reasons later. For now, please do not interfere in this battle."
Although Bai Liao was confused, he chose to believe her and stood aside, watching.
Seeing this, the Supreme Honored Emperor was perplexed but also stopped fighting. "Sister, what is going on?"
Seeing that the Star Empress had managed to persuade Bai Liao and the others to stop, the Wandering Flame Honored Emperor gnashed his teeth in hatred. "Chen'er, I have treated you well over the past century, yet you turn against me?"
The Star Empress's eyes turned red. "Put away your insignificant ambition. You know exactly what you have done. If you want to complain, go to the underworld and find your brother Yi Zhou."
Piao Ling'er was utterly confused. "Mother, Father, what is happening?"
The Star Empress walked to Piao Ling'er's side and said to her, "Ling'er, Mother has wronged you. Your father must die today."
The Wandering Flame Honored Emperor suddenly burst into laughter. "Fortunately, I was prepared! Ming Shen, please make your move!"
Suddenly, a heroic and dashing young man in white emerged. He was tall and slender, with an overbearing aura radiating from his brows, possessing the haughty demeanor of a superior.
"Ming Yi Zhan?!" Bai Liao's brow furrowed.
The Star Empress couldn't help but ask, "Grandfather, who is he?"
Bai Liao said solemnly, "A powerhouse from the Platinum Li Pavilion in the Li Shang True Sea of the East Sea. Ming Yi Zhan, triple-level Divine Luo Realm."
The Supreme Honored Emperor was somewhat surprised. "Ming Yi Zhan, who possesses the Huang Chi bloodline? He's an anomalous cultivator who can kill enemies across realms."
Bai Liao showed some admiration. "I heard that at the age of eighteen, he once slew an incredibly powerful expert at the first level of the Divine Might Realm."
"Eighteen years old already…! So powerful…" The Star Empress and the Supreme Honored Emperor exclaimed in unison.
