Zhou Yan spoke slowly, "You are a natural spiritual body, and your cultivation has reached the Demon Lord realm. With just one or two thousand years, you will definitely be able to break through the Demon Sect. At that time, you will also be a overlord here, so you must cultivate diligently. Only by becoming stronger yourself can you protect the people you want to protect, understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" Cang Xuan Ting nodded. He knew what Zhou Yan said, but he would not give up.
"Alright, go and rest. Your current state is very unstable, so it's best to recover as soon as possible!" Zhou Yan said.
"Thank you!" Cang Xuan Ting cupped his fists. His figure flickered and he disappeared instantly.
"Whoosh!" After Cang Xuan Ting left, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh in relief. This crisis was finally over. Seeing how rapidly Cang Xuan Ting's strength had improved, he was filled with confidence in him. He believed that with his talent, he would be able to challenge the Nine Star Domain in no time, and his own status would also rise accordingly.
"Brother Xuan Ting, I owe you so much this time. If it weren't for you, the situation in the Demon Dragon King Palace would likely be precarious," Zhou Yan looked into the distance and sighed.
He suddenly felt that this matter was closely related to him. For many years, he had been constantly trying to find the Heavenly Empress, but had never succeeded. He didn't even have a single friend by his side, and he had been anxious for a long time.
Now, he had finally encountered one, which made him incredibly excited. As long as he seized this opportunity, he would definitely be able to successfully capture the Heavenly Empress, and the power of his Demon Dragon King Palace would skyrocket.
"Rumble!" A loud noise suddenly came from outside the house where Cang Xuan Ting was staying, making Zhou Yan's body tremble. He stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the door, and a flicker of anticipation arose in his heart, for he knew that the battle had finally broken out.
"Brother Xuan Ting, what's going on?" Zhou Yan couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, just some conflict between our Demon Dragon King Palace people and some demonic beasts," Cang Xuan Ting said indifferently. "By the way, you don't need to get involved in this. I can handle it myself."
"Huh? Are you saying that the people attacking our Demon Dragon King Palace this time are from the Heavenly Empress Palace!" Zhou Yan's face revealed a look of horror.
"Hehehe!" Cang Xuan Ting sneered, then said, "I'll go deal with them first. You should continue with your closed-door cultivation and don't worry about me!"
...
Zhou Yan watched Cang Xuan Ting's retreating back, his heart trembling. Could it be because of this matter? If so, why would the Heavenly Empress Palace people come to provoke us? Aren't they asking for trouble?
Thinking of this, his face revealed anger, and a monstrous killing intent emanated from him.
"Rumble!" In a mountain range, two groups of people were fiercely fighting.
"Hahaha!" A proud voice suddenly resounded. A strong demonic aura emanated from this person, making the surrounding air become viscous.
"Hmph!" Another cold voice came, and a terrifying chill also permeated the air, making the heavens and earth become gloomy, as if a thick dark cloud was constantly churning, and an extremely oppressive feeling enveloped the entire mountain range.
"You people from the Demon Dragon King Palace are truly audacious, daring to snatch my subordinates!" A furious roar suddenly came from the sky.
"Hmph!" The proud voice also coldly replied, "My subordinates are not to be trifled with. You should retreat. This is just a private matter between our Demon Dragon King Palace and the Heavenly Empress Palace, and it will not involve others."
"Your private matters, how could I not know?" A cold laugh came from the sky. "If I weren't showing respect to your Demon Dragon King Palace, I would have annihilated you long ago. Now you dare to threaten me? I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't kill you!"
"Hmph!" The proud voice also let out a cold snort, clearly showing great apprehension towards the voice from the sky.
The sky fell silent again, and the standoff between the two groups of people also stopped. No one made a move, as if they were waiting for something.
"Rumble!" At this moment, the void suddenly trembled violently, causing Zhou Yan's expression to change drastically. He knew that the Heavenly Empress Palace people were making a move from the shadows, and his heart was instantly filled with rage. These people were truly insane, daring to run amok in the Demon Dragon King Palace. They were simply too audacious. Had they forgotten that they were still on Demon Dragon King Palace territory? Were they really this arrogant?
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Suddenly, several figures flew over from afar. They were all wearing purple and gold clothes, and their auras were extremely powerful. Each aura was enough to crush a peak Great Perfection martial artist of the Nine Stars, making people tremble at a single glance. This was because at least three or four of these people had reached the Nine Star peak, and they had not seen them before, indicating they were likely not sent by the Demon Dragon King Palace this time.
"Hmph!" The proud voice sounded again. "Your Heavenly Empress Palace really doesn't take our Demon Dragon King Palace seriously, daring to attack us so openly. Do you think our Demon Dragon King Palace is truly afraid of you?"
"Hehehe!" The laughter of the person in the sky echoed again, with a hint of deep sarcasm. "You jest. What kind of existence is our Demon Dragon King Palace? Would we be afraid of a bunch of ants? However, I heard that your son, Zhou Yan, is also a genius. I wonder if he is still alive?"
"Who are you?" Zhou Yan frowned.
"Us?" The voice from the sky seemed to find it amusing, and a contemptuous tone entered his voice. "You are not worthy of knowing who I am, but I will tell you, our Demon Dragon King Palace is not to be trifled with. If you are sensible, you will leave immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for crushing flowers with a ruthless hand!"
"Good!" Zhou Yan sneered. "Today, I will see how you crush flowers with a ruthless hand!"
"Hmph!" The voice from the sky let out a cold snort. A terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the void, making Zhou Yan below tremble violently. His eyes flickered with uncertainty, because he felt that the strength of the voice from the sky had far surpassed his own. He suspected that only the Demon Dragon Ancestor in the entire Demon Dragon King Palace possessed such power. If that were truly the case, he would have suffered a great loss.
However, Zhou Yan was, after all, an overlord. After his shock, he quickly calmed down. His body flickered, turning into a stream of light and charging into the sky.
"Whoosh!" A white sword light suddenly burst from Zhou Yan's body. His figure instantly disappeared from his original position. And the moment he disappeared, a white beam of light shot down from the sky and slammed fiercely into Zhou Yan's body.
