"Exactly. It seems you were the ones who provoked the Cloud Heaven Holy Son first. Arrogant in your status, you thought you could defeat him, only to be slaughtered instead. Then you blamed his guardians for interfering, claiming it was their intervention that led to your complete defeat. You can't blame the Cloud Heaven Holy Son for this—it was your own foolishness."
"Haha, why didn't I encounter such a fortunate opportunity back then? Four Holy-grade Divine Weapons!"
"You can try to learn from the Cloud Heaven Holy Son yourself. Just make sure you have both a powerful background and sufficient strength. Otherwise, you'll just end up as a walking treasure chest."
"You've reminded me. The reason the two Ancient Demon Clans dare not utter a word is because of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land. Otherwise, given their usual behavior, they would never have let such an insult slide."
"With a powerful background and a noble mission, you become the Cloud Heaven Holy Son. Without either, you'll just turn to dust."
As the Nine Suns Holy Son spoke with his usual sarcastic tone, many cultivators in Emperor's Tomb City relaxed and joined in with their own mocking remarks.
After all, in Emperor's Tomb City, the Human Race held the majority.
Hearing the murmurs below, the Giant Eagle Clan's Holy Son's face turned livid, his body radiating killing intent, especially towards the Nine Suns Holy Son. He longed to strike the man down on the spot.
If it weren't for that meddling fool's loose tongue, he wouldn't have been so humiliated.
"Don't stare at me like that. I'm not afraid. At worst, I'll slay your Ice Dragon and then take down an eagle."
The Nine Suns Holy Son showed no respect.
Exactly!
The Snow Clan were descendants of the Ice Dragon Clan, considered an Ancient Demon Clan Royal Clan.
Though the Nine Suns Holy Land might not match the Cloud Heaven Holy Land in prestige, the difference wasn't vast.
As Great Holy Lands, they had no fear of these Ancient Demon Clans.
If you have the guts, make your move. If not, shut your mouth.
"Step aside! Let me slay this fool!"
The Giant Eagle Clan's Holy Son could no longer remain seated. He soared into the sky, his voice booming.
If he didn't accept, he would become the laughingstock of everyone present.
"Get down!"
Xue Jinglun didn't even glance at the Holy Son of the Giant Eagle Clan, coldly stating, "I haven't even dealt with the Nine Suns Holy Son yet. Why would I let you use me as your punching bag?"
Besides, what business did he have with the Giant Eagle Clan's humiliation?
Didn't you bring this upon yourselves?
The Demon Clan was far from monolithic.
The major factions constantly clashed and eyed each other with hostility.
Among them, the Giant Eagle Clan and the Snow Clan had a long-standing feud.
Thus, Xue Jinglun showed no respect for the Giant Eagle Clan's Holy Son.
This wasn't because the Snow Clan and the Giant Eagle Clan were equals in power.
It was because the Snow Clan had the Dragon Clan behind them—the most powerful Ancient Royal Clan among all the myriad races.
In simpler terms, the Snow Clan had a big daddy!
This backing meant that the Snow Clan looked down on all other demon clans, except for the Dragons.
Even though the Giant Eagle Clan and the Snow Clan harbored a deep-seated hatred, they dared not easily kill the Snow Clan members.
Because of this enmity between the two major demon clans, Xue Jinglun showed no courtesy to the Giant Eagle Clan's Holy Son.
He even hoped the Nine Suns Holy Son would mock them more, just to watch the drama unfold.
"You!"
Ying Tianxiao, the Holy Son of the Giant Eagle Clan, was furious. He hadn't expected Xue Jinglun to show him no respect at all. A powerful aura erupted from him, instantly enveloping Xue Jinglun.
"Do you want to fight me?"
Xue Jinglun showed no fear, unleashing his own formidable pressure in return.
Boom!
The two terrifying forces collided, creating a ripple in the air as if space itself were about to shatter.
The Nine Suns Holy Son, the instigator of the conflict, stood by adding fuel to the fire. "Xue Jinglun, if that eagle dared speak to me like that, I'd have killed him on the spot!"
"Besides, you have the Dragon Clan behind you. Why fear that beast? Even if you kill him, the Giant Eagle Clan won't dare say a word."
"Xue Jinglun, if you're a man, kill that eagle! Stop being indecisive like a woman!"
The words drew a collective sweat from the crowd.
That guy truly thrived on chaos, his talent for fanning the flames unmatched.
But it made sense. With both of them targeting him, the Nine Suns Holy Son would gladly watch them tear each other apart.
Meanwhile, atop a towering pavilion...
A petite and charming woman couldn't help but stick out her tongue. "The Nine Suns Holy Son is truly a divine being! With just a few words, he's extricated himself from the situation and even managed to make these two Demon Race Holy Sons, who were supposed to be dealing with him, nearly come to blows!"
"Imperial Brother, inviting the Nine Suns Holy Son this time was truly a wise decision!"
Beside her stood a dashing young man.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he exuded an aura of world-conquering dominance and imperial majesty.
"Though the Nine Suns Holy Son's personality is eccentric, his other qualities are exceptional. It would have been foolish not to invite him. Besides, his presence will make this Heavenly Pride Assembly far less dull and add a measure of amusement."
The young man spoke.
This was none other than the organizer of the Heavenly Pride Assembly, the Great Qin Ancestral Dragon, Crown Prince Qin Tianming!
He was also hailed as one of the Three Great Human Geniuses.
The woman beside him was Princess Qin Linglong of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Qin Linglong smiled. "This is all due to Imperial Brother's influence. Otherwise, the Nine Suns Holy Son might not have come even if others had invited him."
"When the Phoenix Clan's Holy Son Aotianyu hosted a Heavenly Pride Assembly before, he invited the Nine Suns Holy Son, but he refused to attend, completely disregarding Aotianyu's face."
"If it were just me, I might not have been able to get these geniuses to come. The Cloud Heaven Holy Son's involvement played a part too," Crown Prince Qin Tianming said.
"Imperial Brother, why is that?" Qin Linglong asked, puzzled.
She didn't understand. Was it out of respect for the Cloud Heaven Holy Son?
Wasn't Imperial Brother's own status sufficient?
Qin Tianming replied calmly, "The Cloud Heaven Holy Son once slew the Serpent Clan Holy Son and forced two major Ancient Demon Clans to back down. Moreover, he recently broke through to the Void Return Realm, becoming a world-renowned prodigy. This naturally attracts all manner of prodigies to observe him, each hoping to step over him to rise higher."
"I share that ambition."
As Qin Tianming spoke, a deep glint appeared in his eyes.
Currently, almost all the prodigies in the world were focused on Fang Chen, each wanting to use him as a stepping stone.
Hearing this, Qin Linglong laughed. "I believe Imperial Brother will surely defeat that Cloud Heaven Holy Son."
As she spoke, she clenched her small fists, looking utterly adorable.
Just then, a thunderous roar echoed through the sky.
Several war chariots, pulling a magnificent pavilion, surged toward them. A powerful pressure radiated from the heavens, making the sky tremble. A flag fluttered from one of the chariots, bearing two massive characters:
"Cloud Heaven!"
At this sight, everyone's bodies trembled involuntarily. Their pupils constricted, and an invisible aura of killing intent spread through the air.
"The Cloud Heaven Holy Son has arrived!"
