Emperor Realm!

Absolutely the Emperor Realm! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

When Liu Zixuan’s sword abruptly halted, when that ancient voice appeared.

Two words surfaced in Liu Zixuan’s mind: Emperor Realm!

Liu Qianfeng is at Half-Step Emperor Realm, yet he couldn’t immobilize Liu Zixuan, only a true Emperor Realm, or someone surpassing it, possesses such terrifying power, able to stop Liu Zixuan’s movement with just a voice.

He frowned slightly: "May I ask the elder to show yourself for a meeting?"

Not only Liu Zixuan, but everyone nearby was astonished, as they hadn’t seen anyone, yet that singular voice brought a sense of oppression upon them, preventing them from gasping loudly.

Zhao Yi and Tiger both looked alertly in all directions, while the beautiful master hastily maneuvered to Liu Zixuan’s side.

"Old legs walk slowly, I hope young friend Zixuan doesn’t mind."

Slowly, from outside the great hall, walked an elderly man, hair already white, face lined with wrinkles, yet his vitality was surprisingly strong.

"Is that you?"

Liu Zixuan frowned and asked.

This old man, Liu Zixuan was naturally familiar with. Back when he entered the Hundred Realms Map, by chance, Liu Zixuan stumbled upon a hidden space within, a small courtyard.

Inside the house sat an old man, with no signs of life, seemingly dead, but left Liu Zixuan a note, asking him to finish three games of chess in the courtyard pavilion before he could be sent out of the Hundred Realms Map.

"You actually succeeded?" Meanwhile, the beautiful master spoke in a different tone, as if recognizing the elder.

"You all know him?" Liu Ruyan asked from the side.

Liu Zixuan paused: "I’ve met him once. But back then, he was like a...a..."

"A dead man!" The elder spoke with no reservation, walked to Liu Zixuan, and with a smile said: "Young friend Zixuan, standing here is all thanks to you!"

"Zixuan really did it?" The beautiful master asked.

"Yes. He lifted my restrictions." The elder smiled towards the beautiful master: "Clearly a descendant of the Willow Association, why not stop young friend Zixuan?"

"Such outdated Willow Association, I don’t acknowledge!" Liu Ruyan snapped in anger: "Besides, the separation between me and Ruyan wasn’t as simple as it appeared! It has huge ties to Liu Qianfeng. Why should I save them now?"

"Separated from me? You...are the one they always mentioned, my elder sister?" This time Liu Ruyan walked over with Ying Qingning and asked.

The beautiful master nodded slightly, gently caressed Liu Ruyan’s cheek: "Silly girl, you think Heaven would really give you such a perfect man."

Liu Ruyan suddenly realized, turned to Liu Zixuan: "When you first arrived at Lingxiu Village, you said someone asked you to go help me in the village. That person was my sister, right?"

Liu Zixuan spread out his hands: "Correct, this secret is due to be revealed. Back then, the beautiful master knew you encountered difficulties in Lingxiu Village and sent me down the mountain to protect and help you. But subsequent events she wasn’t aware of, she didn’t know I loved you either."

Liu Ruyan chuckled: "Why are you nervous? I didn’t blame you! Remembering now, there were lingering doubts then, I just didn’t contemplate them. You were boasting formally back then, but it was always my sister protecting me."

"Please, she just gave orders, I was the one truly protecting you, alright!" Liu Zixuan retorted irritably.

Beautiful master glared at Liu Zixuan: "So, you’re jealous of me too?"

"No, no, no, both of you little women are mine, no jealousy, eating you both is enough!" Liu Zixuan grinned slyly.

Liu Ruyan and the beautiful master both blushed, ignoring him.

"Hahaha!"

The elder laughed heartily upon witnessing, then immediately said: "Young friend Zixuan, we’ll discuss the reasons between us later, let’s first handle what’s at hand."

"Can I say no?" Liu Zixuan asked intriguingly.

"Certainly you can. But I sincerely ask you, let the Willow Association members go, after all, they are Liu Ruyan’s relatives." The elder was not the least bit angry.

Liu Zixuan pondered for a while, the Nameless Sword returned to its hilt, with a wave, the Nine Dragon Qiankun Array was withdrawn.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Qianfeng emerged from the array, appearing disheveled, took a good while before looking towards the elder.

He paused at first, then revealed a look of amazement: "Ancestor! You are Ancestor!"

Ancestor?

Liu Zixuan was surprised upon hearing: "He’s the ancestor of the Willow Association who owned the Hundred Realms Map?"

"Indeed." The beautiful master smiled: "Some things should be disclosed now, after this is settled, I will tell you everything."

The elder snorted coldly: "I thought you’d forgotten about this old ancestor!"

"But you had fallen, hadn’t you?" Liu Qianfeng asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing Liu Qianfeng, nearby other family members were bewildered.

They all knew, the Willow Association ancestor who used the Hundred Realms Map to kill numerous Emperor Realm experts had fallen, so when the elder appeared, they were nonchalant, but upon hearing this, it caused a stir.

Everyone was shocked.

"Fallen? If I had truly fallen, then with you leading, the Willow Association wouldn’t last many years before collapsing entirely!" The Willow Association ancestor sneered coldly.

Liu Qianfeng gave a bitter smile, then pointed at Liu Zixuan: "Ancestor, Liu Zixuan destroyed our Willow Association’s Hundred Realms Map, nearly annihilating us!"

"And then?" The Willow Association ancestor asked intriguingly.

Liu Qianfeng’s eyes darted: "I heard from your tone earlier, Liu Zixuan has helped you in some way, but that can’t compare to the Hundred Realms Map and Willow Association’s hundred-year legacy. He may be spared from death, but punishment is inevitable!"

"So you and Liu Qianyun can’t defeat Liu Zixuan, now you want this old man to help you seek revenge?" the elder asked.

Liu Qianfeng nodded awkwardly: "I’m doing this for the honor of the Willow Association!"

"Honor?" The Willow Association ancestor laughed at himself: "Unexpectedly, now you’re still so foolishly inept, I thought I should’ve let young friend Zixuan kill you just now!"

"Ancestor, I..." Liu Qianfeng’s expression immediately changed.

The Willow Association ancestor launched a powerful strike with Inner Strength, sending Liu Qianfeng flying, then yelled: "Young friend Zixuan showed great mercy by sparing you, yet you repay kindness with enmity. With someone like you in the Willow Association, is there any honor left? Today I break through and emerge, your position as Patriarch, let’s scrap it!"
