As soon as Gourmand King appeared, he immediately targeted Ye Guchen.
Since Jun Xiaoyao wasn't present, naturally, those around him became the primary targets.
As for Kun Xuzi, his threat wasn't as great as Ye Guchen's, so he had to be ranked behind.
"This is a bit troublesome now," Kun Xuzi's expression held a hint of solemnity.
"All of you, scram! This place is mine,"
From his appearance, Gourmand King was a young man, with eyes that had no whites, as dark as ink, captivating like two black holes.
His tone was also very overbearing, directly telling everyone to scram.
After all, he was the second on the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings and the leader of the Beast Cave Four Little Kings, so such an overbearing personality was quite normal.
Some of the Nine Heavens Prodigies present, although angry internally,
dared not speak their minds.
Gourmand King's power was too immense.
He himself seemed like a dark Star Domain, devouring all resistance.
However, Ye Guchen's eyes held no fear.
"Dream on."
These two simple words showed Ye Guchen's unyielding attitude.
"Oh?"
Gourmand King's gaze coldly fixed on Ye Guchen.
"It seems that after following Jun Xiaoyao for a long time, your confidence has also inflated."
"Your Sword Tomb had a defiant one before, are you going to follow in his footsteps now?"
Gourmand King had no good feelings for the Sword Tomb.
The Dugu Sword God of the Sword Tomb had once injured their Beast Cave's supreme taboo.
"Less nonsense, let the sword decide everything."
Ye Guchen was not a talkative person; holding the Defeat Seeking Sword, his black hair fluttered, and his Sword Qi was sharp.
"Good heavens, he dares to directly challenge Gourmand King, the second on the Dragon Phoenix Rankings…"
Seeing the two at loggerheads, some of the surrounding Nine Heavens Prodigies all took a deep breath.
Gourmand King's strength was second only to that Chang Sheng Emperor.
Although Ye Guchen had also displayed his strength in Reincarnation Sea before,
at most, he could only squeeze into the top five of the Dragon Phoenix Rankings.
Of course, outsiders did not know how fast Ye Guchen's Cultivate speed truly was.
Especially after he unearthed the power of the Dugu Sword God.
Just as the atmosphere was tense,
a light laugh suddenly rang out.
"This place is truly lively."
The voice was calm and gentle, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
But upon hearing this voice, everyone's gaze suddenly converged.
"That one has arrived!"
In the distant sky, ten thousand runes and a thousand auspicious rays appeared.
A tall figure, holding a golden lamp, like a Divine Being, walked leisurely.
Who else could it be but Chang Sheng Emperor?
"Chang Sheng Emperor has arrived!"
The Prodigies present couldn't help but exclaim, looking up at that figure.
Unlike Gourmand King,
Gourmand King brought a terrifying and fearful ferocity that made everyone dread him.
But Chang Sheng Emperor, like Celestial Maiden Changsheng, was usually gentle, calm, and composed, possessing the magnanimity of a leader.
Coupled with his strength, which firmly held the top spot on the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings,
Chang Sheng Emperor's prestige in Nine Heavens was still very high.
He was also admired by many.
It was somewhat similar to Emperor Haotian before he fell from grace.
However, unlike Emperor Haotian, who had already fallen from grace,
Chang Sheng Emperor now was still in his prime, maintaining his transcendent status and Rank.
Many Nine Heavens Prodigies even believed that
Chang Sheng Emperor was the only one who could curb Jun Xiaoyao's power.
If even Chang Sheng Emperor couldn't uphold the dignity of Nine Heavens,
then the entire younger generation of Nine Heavens would truly be swept away by Jun Xiaoyao alone.
This was a situation that no Nine Heavens Prodigy wanted to see.
"Chang Sheng Emperor…"
Upon seeing Chang Sheng Emperor arrive, Gourmand King's eyes also became a bit solemn.
Although he was overbearing,
facing Chang Sheng Emperor, he still knew his limits.
Furthermore, Chang Sheng Island and Beast Cave both belonged to the cleansing faction of the Ten Forbidden Zones.
Therefore, there was no conflict between Gourmand King and Chang Sheng Emperor, except for competing for the top spot on the rankings.
Although Gourmand King was overbearing, he obviously couldn't drive Chang Sheng Emperor away either.
Chang Sheng Emperor also looked at Ye Guchen.
"Sword Tomb has indeed produced an interesting character."
Although he had a lofty composure,
Ye Guchen actually managed to give him a faint sense of danger.
Although it was only a trace, it still surprised Chang Sheng Emperor.
After all, Ye Guchen, like Jun Xiaoyao, was a Prodigy from the Immortal Domain.
Under different circumstances, logically, Immortal Domain Prodigies should be weaker than Nine Heavens Prodigies.
Yet Ye Guchen was able to catch up in such a short time, even daring to confront Gourmand King.
This was indeed a hidden danger.
"What, are you going to make a move too? I, Ye, don't mind fighting one against two."
Ye Guchen's Defeat Seeking Sword trembled.
Even when facing both Chang Sheng Emperor and Gourmand King, he still didn't retreat a single step.
"My goodness, it really is 'near red, near red; near black, near black.' After staying with Jun Xiaoyao for a long time, are they all as arrogant as him?"
Seeing Ye Guchen's attitude, all the Nine Heavens Prodigies around felt ashamed.
These were the first and second Rank existences on the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings!
Hearing Ye Guchen's words, Chang Sheng Emperor merely smiled.
"Heh, indeed, your Sword Tomb only produces rebellious individuals."
"The Dugu Sword God was like that back then, and now you are the same."
"However, even a powerful figure like the Dugu Sword God could only end in a dismal defeat, let alone you?"
"Destiny is not with your Sword Tomb, but with my Chang Sheng Island!"
Chang Sheng Emperor's words were grand.
That Chief Priest of Chang Sheng Island was the head of all the chief priests, the First Chief Priest!
It was precisely because of his existence that their Chang Sheng Island could always subtly Rank as the head of the Ten Forbidden Zones.
As a rebel, the Dugu Sword God naturally was not favored by them.
So, Chang Sheng Emperor had no good feelings for Sword Tomb and Ye Guchen either.
And Ye Guchen was the same.
"The high will surely fall, and when you fall, you will be even more miserable!"
In Ye Guchen's eyes, a sharp gleam surged.
Even if he was fighting one against two, he would not allow Chang Sheng Emperor to disrespect the Dugu Sword God like that!
That was a hero who would charge forward even if facing thousands of people!
The atmosphere present was like gunpowder, ready to ignite with just a spark!
"Sigh, what should be done."
Seeing this situation, Kun Xuzi also felt helpless.
He naturally knew that Ye Guchen was part of Jun Xiaoyao's faction.
It's just that he himself was only ranked sixth on the Dragon Phoenix Rankings, completely unable to intervene in a battle of this Rank.
He had the will but lacked the strength.
And just at this moment,
in the distance, another figure appeared.
"Are the first and second Rank existences of the dignified Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings also going to bully with numbers?"
Upon hearing this voice,
Chang Sheng Emperor and Gourmand King simultaneously turned their gazes.
However, upon seeing, Chang Sheng Emperor's expression instantly froze!
The speaker was, of course, Jun Xiaoyao, who had rushed to this place.
But what made Chang Sheng Emperor's expression freeze was not Jun Xiaoyao.
It was the figure he was leading with a Law Divine chain.
Her white dress was covered in dirt.
Disheveled, with a face full of bloodstains, she looked like a madwoman from a garbage heap.
"Oh, Jun Xiaoyao is here!"
"The three people behind him are actually the three Young Lords of Reincarnation Sea. Could it be that they, like the Beast Cave Three Little Kings, have been suppressed and tamed?"
"Look, that woman chained up, why does she feel a bit like Celestial Maiden Changsheng?"
"No, what do you mean 'a bit like'? That's Heavenly Maiden herself, alright!"
Jun Xiaoyao's arrival caused a wave of shock and uproar.
What shocked them was not Jun Xiaoyao himself,
but the woman he had chained with a Law Divine chain.
A generation's Heavenly Maiden, the most beautiful woman in Nine Heavens, was actually in such a sorry state.
And more importantly, she was considered Chang Sheng Emperor's person.
This was equivalent to a resounding slap across Chang Sheng Emperor's face!
