"What nonsense are you spouting? You should leave quickly," Fairy Tian Xuan's face changed, and she hurriedly urged Zhou Hong to go, otherwise, if it was too late, Tian Qiong would surely kill him. She was also puzzled, how could a mere Immortal King dare to speak so arrogantly.
"Hmph, such big talk," At this moment, the man beside Fairy Tian Xuan snorted, a killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Fellow immortal, who are you?" Zhou Hong asked the man.
"Who do you think you are, to be worthy of knowing my identity."
Fairy Tian Xuan quickly explained, "His name is Tian Qiong. He is the son of the Immortal Emperor of the Nine Dao Immortal Kingdom. He is now infinitely close to becoming an Immortal Emperor. It's just a pity that his father hasn't given him a quota to break through to Immortal Emperor, which is why he's been stuck at this stage."
Zhou Hong nodded. In fact, he had already guessed it. With this man's current strength, a ninth-grade Immortal Emperor who could cultivate to this level could never be an ordinary person. He must be a close relative of some Immortal Emperor.
"Boy, before you die, state your name," the man called Tian Qiong said coldly, looking at Zhou Hong.
"My name is Zhou Hong, and I come from the Demon Realm. Although my current realm is only that of a Demon King, I already possess the strength to kill an Immortal Emperor. Previously, an Immortal Emperor named Ye Chen from the Immortal Realm had his physical body killed by me. A few days ago, Immortal Emperors Huo Hou and Long Yan were both deeply wary of me and did not dare to oppose me. Today, I have long admired Fairy Tian Xuan's great name and specifically came to visit. I didn't expect to encounter the Fairy Tian Xuan, the goddess in my heart, on the road before even reaching her doorstep," Zhou Hong said neither subserviently nor arrogantly, intentionally showing deep admiration for Fairy Tian Xuan in his tone, and even claiming she was the goddess in his heart.
At this moment, Fairy Tian Xuan was shocked and somewhat shy. She hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary young man to have such a background. She had already heard about a young man from the Demon Realm whose strength was low, but who possessed a powerful weapon that killed Immortal Emperor Ye Chen's physical body. She didn't expect him to be right in front of her, and that he had come to visit specifically for her. For a moment, Fairy Tian Xuan didn't know how to describe her feelings.
The man called Tian Qiong was initially full of disdain for Zhou Hong. He just wanted to know his background before killing him. However, he didn't expect Zhou Hong's words to scare him half to death. He had also heard about that Immortal Emperor Ye Chen before. To be honest, many people in the entire Immortal Realm had heard about Ye Chen. Although the details were unclear, at least they knew that he was killed by a young man with low strength who only possessed a powerful weapon.
Tian Qiong never imagined that the young man who had been the talk of the entire Immortal Realm for the past few days was right in front of him, and just a moment ago, he had said he wanted to kill him.
"Fairy Tian Xuan, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are as beautiful as the legends say," Zhou Hong said, lavishing praise on Fairy Tian Xuan.
"Thank you. I didn't expect you to be that person," Fairy Tian Xuan said shyly, lowering her head.
"What? Fairy, you've heard of me too?"
"I have. After all, destroying an Immortal Emperor is no small feat. I just didn't know who killed Ye Chen, only that he came from the Demon Realm and wielded a powerful demonic artifact. I didn't expect it to be you."
"Haha, I came today precisely to visit you, Fairy."
"Oh, oh!" Fairy Tian Xuan blushed, appearing somewhat flustered and uneasy.
Seeing her demeanor, Zhou Hong felt there was hope.
Of course, the most important reason was that she had already heard of Zhou Hong's fame, so she didn't dare to underestimate him. Moreover, Zhou Hong had come for her, which had earned her good feelings.
Zhou Hong glanced at Tian Qiong beside him and asked with a smile, "Son of this Immortal Emperor, you just said you wanted to kill me. When will you make your move? How much time do I have left? Can I speak with the goddess in my heart for a bit longer?"
"Hmph!" Tian Qiong snorted in frustration, feeling that Zhou Hong was deliberately embarrassing him. He had already killed an Immortal Emperor, and now he was asking such a question, clearly intending to make a fool of him.
"Zhou Hong, although I cannot kill you now, I advise you not to provoke me. My father is an Immortal Emperor, and he possesses the power of 80 stars. Before you make a move, you should weigh yourself carefully," Tian Qiong said, looking at Zhou Hong with some apprehension.
Zhou Hong was slightly shocked. He had previously guessed that the Immortal Emperor of the Nine Dao Immortal Kingdom, with 500 cities, should have a power of around 70 stars. He didn't expect him to have 80 stars.
Zhou Hong could at most deal with 30 stars now. If an 80-star power came, his puppet would be annihilated in an instant.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Although my strength might not be afraid of your father," Zhou Hong said, bluffing.
Tian Qiong snorted, half-believing and half-doubting.
"Leave quickly! If you dare to pester Fairy Tian Xuan again in the future, don't blame me for being impolite," Zhou Hong warned again. Although Zhou Hong was now deeply wary of his father, he couldn't show weakness.
"Hmph, what right do you have to stop me from pursuing Fairy Tian Xuan?" Tian Qiong seemed unconvinced.
"Just because I can defeat you in one move."
"Zhou Hong, don't blame me for not telling you, my father greatly approves of me pursuing Fairy Tian Xuan."
"Using your father to scare me? If I get angry, don't blame me for going directly to your father. I was still somewhat uncertain about whether I could deal with your father, but you say your father only has 80 stars? Hmph, so weak, I'm quite confident." Zhou Hong snorted, feigning profundity.
Tian Qiong was once again filled with doubt. He wondered if Zhou Hong was bluffing. An Immortal Emperor with 80-star power could be ranked within the top 15 in the Immortal Realm. Could a mere Demon King like Zhou Hong, relying on a demonic artifact, truly be that strong?
"Then let's wait and see," Tian Qiong did not dare to gamble and left instantly. He would report this matter to his father the Emperor upon his return.
Only Zhou Hong and Fairy Tian Xuan remained in the sky. As for Long Yu, he stayed far away and did not approach. After all, the protagonist today was Zhou Hong, and it was not wise to show off in front of a beauty.
"Thank you, Zhou Hong. Should I call you Senior? After all, you can contend with an Immortal Emperor," Fairy Tian Xuan said with a smile, looking at Zhou Hong.
"You're welcome. In terms of realm, you are higher than me. I should be the one calling you Senior."
"Heh heh, you're such a joker. By the way, can your strength truly contend with the Nine Dao Immortal Emperor?" Fairy Tian Xuan asked with disbelief.
"Uh, yes." Zhou Hong said somewhat boastfully. Although boasting was not good, he had to do it now, fearing it would be too dangerous if some Immortal Emperor became interested in his puppet.
"Wow, that's truly amazing. I wonder how you achieved it. Normally, with your realm, even with the strongest magical artifact, you wouldn't be able to defeat an Immortal Emperor." Fairy Tian Xuan seemed curious about the powerful weapon Zhou Hong used. She didn't know that Zhou Hong was using a puppet and thought it was some demonic artifact.
