Chapter 153 Arrogance

"Hmph, since that's the case, let's put this matter aside for now. But I have a bad temper and can't stand people's sarcastic remarks. If anyone keeps making sarcastic remarks later, don't blame me for being impatient and taking action to kill them."

The four king puppets unleashed their full power, making them the strongest among everyone present.

After all, the Big Dipper is still under the suppression of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao. Unless it is an old madman or a peerless genius like Jiang Taixu, no one can sever the Dao.

Therefore, the three kings of the immortal realm are the strongest, not to mention there are four more. Let alone Ji Laoba, even if all the publicly known strongmen of the Ji family rushed out, they wouldn't be enough to defeat the four of them.

Of course, the Ji family possesses the Void Mirror, which is why Ji Laoba dared to stand up and cause trouble just now.

Seeing Zhang Taichu walk in arrogantly, Ji Laoba was so angry that his face turned as black as iron, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light as he lowered his head.

He originally only intended to kill Ye Fan, but now he has also included Zhang Taichu on his kill list.

The group arrived at the Ji family's reception hall. Zhang Taichu first greeted the Peacock King and the Red Dragon Taoist before looking at the others.

When Zhang Taichu saw Qi Huoshui, whose beauty was absolutely stunning and no less than that of the two holy maidens beside him, he took the initiative to go over and greet her.

"It's been a long time, beautiful Qi. I haven't had a chance to thank you for your righteous words in the Immortal Abode Small World last time. This is a rare opportunity. After Ye Fan deals with Wang Teng, how about we go for a stroll around Zhongzhou together?"

"Great! I happen to know of a few good secret realms in Zhongzhou. I'll borrow your abilities, Little Source Celestial Master, to explore for treasures."

After saying this, Qi Huoshui turned around and introduced her brother to Zhang Taichu. Zhang Taichu had already guessed that this was Nan Yao, so he greeted him warmly.

Just then, a chilling aura came from the side. Zhang Taichu turned his head and saw several ancient races with unusual appearances. The two leaders, however, looked no different from humans.

Their most distinctive feature was their purple hair, and Zhang Taichu immediately guessed their identities.

"The Primordial Clan? From the Valley of the Gods?"

"Heh, human, you're quite knowledgeable, managing to recognize us?"

Zi Tiandu slowly stood up and walked to Zhang Taichu.

The aura emanating from the other party had reached the level of a high-level Immortal II, meaning that he was undoubtedly a powerful being.

In addition, the physical strength of the ancient race is generally stronger than that of the human race, so Zi Tiandu does indeed have the strength to stand out from the crowd.

Unfortunately—

A kingly puppet stepped forward, blocking Zi Tiandu's path. The powerful aura of the king forced Zi Tiandu to retreat.

At this moment, Zi Tiandu's forehead shone brightly, as if he had gained a third eye. This eye stared at the King Puppet, and a powerful divine soul attack was about to sever the connection between it and Zhang Taichu.

The Soul Transformation Sword is the signature secret technique of the Divine Spirit Valley. It completely ignores physical defense and directly attacks the soul, making it both domineering and dangerous.

However, the moment the Divine Soul Sword touched the King Puppet, it was like a sharp sword piercing a steel plate; it was immediately deflected and couldn't break through its defenses at all.

Zi Tiandu's expression changed drastically, and he flew backward, quickly increasing the distance between himself and the King Puppet.

However, the King Puppet is at the King level, and it only compares basic stats, which is far beyond what a powerful being can compare to.

The moment Zi Tiandu moved his feet, the giant hand of the King Puppet seemed to break through the limitations of space and pressed him down.

In an instant, Zi Tian felt as if he were being crushed by a mountain, unable to break free.

"You think you can just run away after hitting me? What do you take me for? A coward who won't fight back?"

Zhang Taichu smiled coldly, and the power of his divine soul erupted. The aura on the four king puppets rose rapidly, quickly reaching the peak of the king realm.

This is why there is a huge gap between a sage and a king; the laws of a sage represent a qualitative leap that cannot be bridged by quantity.

Otherwise, the combined power of the four puppets would be comparable to that of a saint.

Zi Tiandu was under arrest, and his sister, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch. She immediately rushed over with several of her men to rescue him.

However, Zhang Taichu only sent out two king puppets to block them, left one by his side, and the last one was the one who held down Zi Tiandu.

"I've heard that the Divine Valley is home to an ancient royal family. I wonder if your ancient ancestral king has woken up yet? If he has, I might give him some face. Otherwise, you're in for a lot of trouble today."

"Arrogant!"

Zi Tiandu's entire body shone brightly, as if he had transformed into Ultraman Tiga, but the difference in their cultivation levels was something he could not overcome.

Unless Zi Tiandu can enter the Divine Forbidden Zone, even with the strength of the Eight Forbidden Zones, he is no match for the King Puppet.

"Click"

Cracks appeared in the floor of the Ji family's reception hall, clearly indicating that it could not withstand the power of the King's Puppet.

You should know that this place is protected by a powerful formation; otherwise, it would have been reduced to ruins the moment the King Puppet unleashed its power.

"Zhang Taichu, you've gone too far! This is the Ji family home, not a place for you to run wild!"

Ji Laoba acted recklessly again. Zhang Taichu turned to look at him, then at the Holy Master of the Ji family.

"What? The Ji family has allied with the Divine Spirit Valley? The descendants of the Void Emperor are actually forming an alliance with the Primordial Clan? Whose face are they slapping here?"

Zhang Taichu directly invoked the Void Emperor, which made the faces of the Ji family's high-ranking members turn ugly.

Everyone present knew that the Void Emperor had spent his life fighting against the Forbidden Zones, and that ninety percent of the immortal beings in the Forbidden Zones were former Primordial Emperors. It was truly ironic that the Ji family had now allied with the descendants of their enemy.

"Oh, I forgot, the Divine Valley is just an ancient royal family, and it has never produced an ancient emperor. In other words, those immortal old beings in the forbidden zone of life do not have their ancestors. Then it's alright."

Zi Tiandu was already struggling to breathe under the pressure, and now that Zhang Taichu had unleashed his full power right at his face, he was consumed by rage and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Ji family is now in a dilemma. If they help, they will directly slap the Void Emperor in the face. How can the Ji family maintain its foothold in Beidou after that?

If they don't help, the people from Shenling Valley are clearly there to lend a hand; if they don't, it will damage the Ji family's reputation. They're caught in a dilemma.

Just then, a surge of holy power erupted from Zi Tiandu's body, instantly sending the king puppet flying.

"Zhang Taichu, I'm going to kill you!"

A sacred weapon burst forth from Zi Tiandu's body and slashed towards Zhang Taichu.

Zhang Taichu smiled coldly, and the same holy might erupted. The Radiant Mirror flew out, and its light shot out, blocking the attack of Zi Tiandu's holy weapon.

"Comparing holy weapons, huh? In terms of resources, I'm no worse than you."

The Yin-Yang Mirror flew out and hovered high above Zhang Taichu's head. Its unique aura, belonging only to Great Saint Weapons, could only be surpassed by Imperial Weapons.

Zi Tiandu's face turned ugly, and he had no choice but to retreat slowly, unable to regain his composure.

The expressions of the Wang and Ji families also turned solemn. They all knew that Zhang Taichu had stolen the Yin-Yang Mirror from the Yin-Yang Sect, but they each held a sliver of hope that Zhang Taichu could at most use other sacred weapons to suppress the Yin-Yang Mirror and prevent it from being used.

But now that last bit of hope has completely vanished. The aura emanating from the Yin-Yang Mirror clearly indicates that it has recognized Zhang Taichu as its master, and as for the people of the Yin-Yang Sect, they have already been abandoned by it.

Zhang Taichu easily defeated Zi Tiandu and outwardly appeared arrogant, but inwardly he remained calm and composed.

Because he knew very well that compared to the true imperial princes and princesses such as the Heavenly Emperor's Son, Huang Xudao, the Dragon Girl, and the Golden Imperial Princess, Zi Tiandu was just a nobody.

In the original story, Zi Tian was the first second-generation member of the Primordial Clan to be defeated by Ye Fan. It can be said that among the group of geniuses of the Primordial Clan, Zi Tian was the most pathetic one.

After all, they were merely an ancient royal family, not an ancient imperial family. This one-word difference signifies a huge gap in talent and foundation.

Furthermore, Zi Tiandu is not very shrewd and is destined to be cannon fodder in the struggle for the Emperor's Road. There's nothing to be proud of in defeating him.

Having just finished repairing Zi Tiandu, Zhang Taichu looked at Wang Chengkun, the head of the Wang family.

"So you're the head of the Wang family? Your son caused me trouble in Qincheng before. I originally wanted to eliminate him in the Battle of Qinling, but he escaped quickly. Now that he's engaged, I'm planning to catch up with him."

"Hmph, my son Wang Teng has the bearing of an emperor, and he will not lose to someone like you who relies on external forces to show off his power."

Wang Chengkun's expression was serious. Although he was a powerful immortal of the second level, he still had to back down when facing a great holy weapon.

Although the Wang family is the overlord of the Northern Plains and has a sacred weapon, it is only at the level of a saint.

Far from being a great sacred weapon like the Yin-Yang Mirror, it's easy to understand if you think about it carefully. If they were truly powerful families, why would they go to the icy and snowy Northern Plains to start a business? They would definitely go to the Central Plains or the Eastern Wilderness.

Zhongzhou is the center of the Big Dipper, protected by ancestral veins, making it the best environment for cultivation.

Secondly, there's the Eastern Wilderness, which contains forbidden zones for life and various source minerals. Truly powerful forces would only choose these two places.

As for why the Demon Emperor's Palace is located in the Southern Ridge, with only a small portion in the Eastern Wilderness, it's actually because they were squeezed out. After all, compared to the human race, the demon race's power is not great.

Fortunately, a Green Emperor appeared ten thousand years ago; otherwise, the demon race might not have been able to establish itself in the Eastern Wilderness.

In short, facing Zhang Taichu, a guy with connections, power, and family wealth, Wang Chengkun had already lost in terms of momentum, which is why he openly and subtly accused Zhang Taichu of relying on external forces to act aggressively.

"Oh ho~~ Are you trying to provoke me? Don't worry, I don't need any sacred weapons or puppets to deal with Wang Teng. If he dares to show himself, I can kill him with my bare hands!"

"Arrogant! My son, Wang Teng, possesses the qualities of an emperor. Without external help, no one can rival him!"

Wang Chengkun repeatedly emphasized that he would not use external forces, which was clearly an attempt to morally blackmail him, making him appear even less assertive.

Even the Peacock King and the others recognized it and showed disdainful expressions.

Li Heishui was the worst among them, directly and loudly questioning the Holy Prince.

"Your Highness, you are very knowledgeable. Do you know if young emperors or ancient emperors throughout history ever agreed beforehand not to use this or that when they fought?"

Although the Holy Prince was straightforward, he held Wang Chengkun and his son Wang Teng in utter contempt and naturally had nothing nice to say about them.

"When the ancient emperor was young, he always faced difficulties head-on and defeated all enemies on the road to becoming emperor, including their various methods. Why would he ask for so much?"

"Hmph, if you don't have the ambition to sweep everything away, you should change your name as soon as possible and stop calling yourself the Northern Emperor."

Wang Chengkun's face turned ashen, and he glared at Li Heishui and the others with gritted teeth, completely losing his momentum. However, when he turned to look at Ji Laoba, he saw the killing intent flashing in the other's eyes and felt relieved.

At the same time, he thought to himself: I'll let you be smug for a while. None of you will leave here alive today!

"Who goes there!"

Just as the atmosphere in the hall was tense, the questioning voice of the Ji family elders came from outside.

"Ye Fan has come to pay his respects!"
