Supreme Lord of Towers

Southern Heaven Domain, Ziwei Sacred Land, inside an ancient and quaint room.

"Husband, Young Master Jiang Xuan has sent gifts again. He really is thoughtful! It seems he truly and genuinely likes Zitong." A graceful and noble woman said with a smile.

This beautiful woman was none other than Shangguan Zitong's mother, Nalan Jing.

Beside Nalan Jing stood a dignified middle-aged man, Shangguan Zitong's father, Shangguan Fei.

"Ever since Zitong was accepted as a direct disciple by the Second Elder of the Sacred Land, Jiang Xuan has been increasingly attentive to her.

However, he may not sincerely like Zitong, and instead has other motives." Shangguan Fei frowned slightly as he spoke.

After returning from the Ancient Ruins to the Ziwei Sacred Land, Shangguan Zitong was tested and found that the concentration of the Cyan Dragon Bloodline within her had reached Five-Star.

Such a high bloodline concentration is extremely rare, even within the Ziwei Sacred Land.

Moreover, Shangguan Zitong awakened the Cyan Dragon Bloodline.

Thus, the next day, she was accepted as a direct disciple by the Second Elder, Supreme Lord Bai Long.

This event instantly shook the entire Ziwei Sacred Land.

You must know that a Quasi-God Realm expert like Supreme Lord Bai Long rarely accepts direct disciples.

Even the Saint Sons and Saintesses of Ziwei Sacred Land may not catch her eye.

Yet, she took Shangguan Zitong as a direct disciple.

It clearly shows how much she values Shangguan Zitong.

Within the Ziwei Sacred Land, a Quasi-God Realm expert's direct disciple holds a position no weaker than the Saint Sons and Saintesses.

Some direct disciples are even stronger than the Saint Sons and Saintesses.

But they do not care about those empty titles.

Therefore, Shangguan Zitong's status has undergone dramatic changes.

Even candidates for Saint Son and Saintess must bow their heads slightly before her.

If she so wishes, once her cultivation reaches the Golden Core Realm, she can become a Saintess at any time.

Because of this, many geniuses of the Ziwei Sacred Land began to fawn over Shangguan Zitong.

This even includes some Saint Sons.

Thus, Jiang Xuan likely felt threatened and has become more attentive to Shangguan Zitong.

"Husband! You're overthinking it. Young Master Jiang Xuan began pursuing Zitong shortly after she entered Ziwei Sacred Land, but sadly, Zitong's temperament is too stubborn, and she has never agreed to him.

I really cannot understand, what is so good about that reject Ye Chen? He can't even awaken his bloodline; what qualifies him to be with Zitong?" Nalan Jing sneered, her eyes filled with deep disdain.

Ye Chen, now the abandoned child of the Divine Spirit Family Ye Clan, cannot even awaken his bloodline and is doomed to have no future.

Jiang Xuan, not only is he the Young Master of the Divine Spirit Family Jiang Family, but his talent is heaven-defying, and given time, he might even become a Divine Spirit.

The two of them are worlds apart.

Anyone who isn't a fool would understand whom to choose for marriage.

Yet her daughter stubbornly clings to the engagement with Ye Chen, resembling a stubborn mule.

This deeply saddened her.

"My lady, Ye Chen is not weak; otherwise, he could not have slain three Dragon Race Quasi-God offspring and been recruited as a disciple by the Human King Hall." Shangguan Fei said.

The matter of Ye Chen slaying three Dragon Race Quasi-God offspring has already spread throughout the Southern Heaven Domain.

Even Shangguan Zitong's parents have been made aware.

However, Nalan Jing remained indifferent to this.

In her view, Ye Chen surely relied on some external power to slay those three Dragon Race Quasi-God offspring.

Otherwise, how could this reject, unable to awaken his bloodline, possess such combat strength?

"Hmph! Husband, don't speak for that reject! In the Yellow Cloud World, those unable to awaken their bloodlines are doomed to have no future.

Furthermore, that reject is currently the Ye Clan's target for elimination. If Zitong were with him, she would only be implicated.

Therefore, I will absolutely not agree to them being together." Nalan Jing said coldly.

"Enough! Let's not discuss this now. Zitong is about to head to the Black Continent to exterminate demons. Let's go see her off." Shangguan Fei shook his head.

Though Shangguan Zitong has become a direct disciple of Supreme Lord Bai Long, she must go and execute the demon extermination task.

The Human King Hall mandates that disciples of Ziwei Sacred Land must do this.

Currently, the Outer Realm Races are invading the Yellow Cloud World massively.

If even top forces like Ziwei Sacred Land do not help resist external enemies,

Then the Yellow Cloud World being occupied by foreign races is just a matter of time.

Thus, the Human King Hall absolutely does not permit them to do so.

"Rest assured, Young Master Jiang Xuan is also going on the demon extermination task; he will surely take good care of Zitong." Nalan Jing said with a smile.

She genuinely grew fonder and fonder of Jiang Xuan. His talent is heaven-defying, his family background is illustrious, and he often sends them precious gifts.

If such a person could become her daughter's ideal son-in-law, it would truly be such good fortune.

She just wondered when her daughter Shangguan Zitong might change her mind and annul her engagement with Ye Chen.

Every time she thought of this matter, she became extremely troubled.

"Hmph! Tuoba Family! When Zitong fully matures, it will mark your end; you will await extermination." Shangguan Fei's eyes suddenly turned blood-red, with dreadful murderous intent bursting forth.

In the past, he dared not even imagine they could wipe out the Tuoba Family to avenge his deceased clan members.

But now, Shangguan Zitong has become the direct disciple of Supreme Lord Bai Long, and there is even a slight hope of her becoming a Divine Spirit in the future.

When that time comes, annihilating the Tuoba Family will be a mere trivial task.

...

Black Continent, located to the north of the Southern Heaven Domain, its overall strength ranked only as average among the eighty-one continents of the Southern Heaven Domain.

However, compared to the Cang Continent, they are still considerably stronger.

And the force ruling the Black Continent is a first-class Immortal Sect, named Black Dragon Immortal Sect.

Though the heritage of Black Dragon Immortal Sect is somewhat more powerful than Azure Sky Immortal Sect, and even has numerous Nascent Soul Realm experts seated.

Yet faced with the invasion of the Outer Realm Demons, they also had no means to deal with it.

Although they dispatched many strong individuals to subdue the Outer Realm Demons.

However, the number of Outer Realm Demons is exceedingly large, and their overall strength extremely terrifying.

Relying solely on Black Dragon Immortal Sect, they were utterly powerless against them.

If things continue like this, the Black Continent would see countless innocent human races tragically perish at the hands of the Outer Realm Demons.

After all, the essence blood and soul of the human race are a great nourishment to the Outer Realm Demons.

Thus, the Black Dragon Immortal Sect could only plead for aid from the Human King Hall.

Under the command of the Human King Hall, numerous strong individuals from various Immortal Sects have rushed to the Black Continent for rescue.

Currently, numerous experts from various Immortal Sects have gathered within a mountain range.

Among them is Ye Chen.
