I've announced that I'm destined to have many children, and my father has bestowed upon me

That figure in white, even just from behind, seemed to be the only one in this world.

Everything fell silent, and time and space stood still.

Whether it was the raging sea monsters or the desperate creatures fleeing the island, they all seemed to have their fate choked by an invisible hand, unable to move, and their thoughts almost stopped.

Before that vast and mighty will, all living beings appear so small and insignificant.

Zhao Chen'an and his two companions hid in the shadow of the cliff, also enduring this oppressive force. However, compared to the creatures outside, they felt more awe than fear originating from their very souls.

The oppressive aura seemed to deliberately bypass them.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the figure suspended high in the void slowly turned around.

It was a face beyond words, as serene and cold as the moon, as ethereal as a fairy. She did not deliberately display any astonishing aura, nor did she have any fluctuation of magical power around her, but as she stood there, the laws of heaven and earth naturally submitted to her and resonated with her.

Her appearance seemed to make this world, which was polluted by demonic energy and bloodshed, a little clearer.

Inside the Star Gate Hall, the Star Gate Master and a group of elders, who had already collapsed to the ground, including Fu Luo who harbored ulterior motives, all struggled to raise their heads and look up at that figure, their faces filled with awe and bewilderment.

Who is this?

Why would such a being descend upon their small stargate?

Just as countless doubts arose in everyone's hearts, the fairy's lips parted slightly, and a clear yet majestic voice clearly entered the ears of every living being.

"Hun Yuan Sect, Inner Disciple, Jiu Qing."

The voice wasn't loud, but it was like a divine pronouncement, resounding through the heavens, each word striking heavily into everyone's heart.

Hunyuan Sect!

The moment those three words were uttered, the Star Gate Master and all the elders shuddered violently, their previously lifeless faces instantly replaced by wild joy and excitement!

"The Primordial Chaos Sect! It's the Immortal Master of the Primordial Chaos Sect!"

"Heaven has not forsaken my Star Gate! Heaven has not forsaken my Star Gate!"

An elder was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to the figure in the sky.

The Star Gate Sect Leader struggled to his feet and respectfully bowed to the sky, his voice trembling with excitement: "The 63rd Star Gate Sect Leader respectfully welcomes the arrival of the Immortal Venerable of the Upper Sect! We...we are saved!"

In the depths of despair, a beam of light suddenly shone forth!

That's the Hunyuan Sect!

One of the 108 Supreme Sects, a colossal entity standing at the pinnacle of the Central Heavenly Main World!

For a sect like theirs, which lives in a remote corner, that was something that existed only in legends!

They never dreamed that at the critical moment of Star Gate's life and death, a powerful expert from the upper sect would descend!

On the island, the disciples and mortals who had been in despair, although many did not know what the Hunyuan Sect represented, instantly understood when they saw the sect leader and elders' ecstatic expressions of relief after surviving the calamity.

Our savior has arrived!

In an instant, thunderous cheers resounded from every corner of the nine islands, and countless people wept with joy and knelt down in worship.

Xiao Chuchu, standing beside Zhao Chen'an, had a pair of beautiful eyes that sparkled with excitement. She excitedly grabbed Zhao Chen'an's sleeve, lowered her voice, but could not hide her excitement.

"Husband! It's the Hunyuan Sect!"

Zhao Chen'an gently patted her hand, signaling her to calm down.

His heart was also in turmoil, but more than anything, he felt a sudden realization.

It turned out to be the case.

From the very beginning on the flying boat, this fairy glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and even revealed her figure.

Just now, when that oppressive force descended, it showed mercy only to the three of them.

Now everything makes sense.

She must have sensed the aura of Master Mo Yuqing on her body, or rather, within the wooden hairpin artifact.

High in the sky, the fairy named Jiuqing ignored the excitement and worship of the crowd below.

Her demeanor was indifferent, as if saving the island's inhabitants was merely a trivial matter.

Her cool gaze swept across the area below before she spoke slowly.

"The recent unusual activity of the Endless Sea Demon Clan has a reason, and the sect was aware of it long ago."

"I have come here on my master's orders to save the people of this land. You need not worry."

Upon hearing this, the Star Gate leader and others were moved to tears.

It turns out that the upper sect had known everything all along! And even specially sent people to rescue them!

What a magnanimous spirit and boldness this is!

After speaking, Jiuqing turned her gaze away from the people on the island and towards the turbulent, dark sea, her voice suddenly turning cold.

"You beast hiding your head and tail, why don't you show yourself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an even more terrifying pressure, like an invisible mountain, crashed into the deep sea!

"Boom—!"

The entire sea area exploded instantly, creating towering waves!

A roar filled with pain and fear came from the depths of the sea, followed by a massive, suffocating shadow that slowly emerged from the ocean.

It was an enormous, jet-black octopus!

Each of its tentacles is thicker than a mountain, and is covered with countless suckers that shimmer with an eerie light.

On its mountain-like head, two enormous, scarlet eyes were fixed on the white-clad figure in the sky, filled with boundless terror.

The Demon King of Sendai Realm!

The moment it fully appeared, its overwhelming demonic aura almost completely darkened the sky. Its violent and ferocious aura made the hearts of the people on the island, who had just begun to have hope, jump to their throats again.

However, something completely unexpected happened.

This terrifying demon king, capable of easily destroying the Star Gate, actually curled up its massive body when facing Daoist Jiuqing.

The enormous head lowered, emitting a buzzing wave of divine consciousness, its words filled with flattery and ingratiation.

"This humble king...this humble king was unaware of the arrival of the Immortal Venerable of the Hunyuan Sect! I have been greatly offended, please forgive me, Immortal Venerable! This humble king will now lead my men to retreat, and will never again set foot in the human race's seas!"

It immediately backed down!

Faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone in the Star Gate was stunned.

Is this still the same powerful and domineering Demon King of Sendai who made them unable to even muster the will to resist?

Why is he so docile like a kitten in front of a woman?

Beside Zhao Chen'an, Ye Shenglin, who had been silent all along, tightened his grip on the Wuhen Sword slightly.

Her sword mind was clear, and she could clearly sense that the demon king was not pretending, but rather that his fear was genuine and deep-seated.

It was as if a mouse had encountered a cat.

In the sky, Jiuqing remained unmoved by the Demon King's pleas for mercy.

Her cool face remained expressionless as she uttered a few words indifferently.

"Retreat? Did I say you could leave?"

The Demon King's massive body trembled violently, and a hint of confusion and fear appeared in his scarlet eyes.

Jiuqing gave it no chance to think, his voice growing increasingly icy.

"I'll give you one chance. Tell me why you suddenly launched a massive invasion of human territory. Will you speak now, or wait until I've annihilated you and then personally search your soul?"

overbearing!

How domineering!
