Chapter 9

  Huo Tianhon's voice had barely faded when a group of five appeared in a corner of the sky. They were standing on a strange object that carried them. This object was, in fact, a green rectangular slab of stone. Its surface was adorned with beautiful patterns, making it an eye-catching sight at first glance.

  Each of them was strikingly attractive and majestic, as if they were representatives of the heavens. Although they were the smallest group present, the aura they emitted was so powerful that it could suppress the entire crowd, especially the young man standing at the head of the group. He was Yuancho Wang Ming, and just with his gaze, he overshadowed Huo Tianhon and Tan Kuanli.

  Behind him, four young men, undoubtedly representatives of the Yuancho Tribe, sat casually. One of them wore an all-black outfit and meditated with closed eyes. His cold breath was like a sharp sword. He was Yuancho Kongjian, the strongest representative of the Yuancho Tribe. Two other young men looked exactly alike. Even the clothes they wore were identical. If they weren't twins, what were they? Yuancho Yunfeng and Yuancho Yunlin! They seemed to be talking about something trivial.

  The last one, however, was entirely distinct. Both his aura and appearance were a head and shoulders above the other three. He was Yuancho Wujian. In the city of Fire Glass, he was a well-known figure. Everyone knew him as a small villain, but now he was completely different. One could not fathom his depth.

  The awakening of the Absolute Denier Body created a significant turning point in him. With the awakening of the system, he gained numerous advantages, including the Mysterious Art of Primal Creation and the Heavenly Golden Mind. All of these brought about a great revolution within him. His aura, charisma, and nobility had all transformed to an elevated level.

  "That's him!" Yang Zhufen recognized him at a glance. The same boy who took Ke Er from him three months ago. Yuancho Wujian! The boy he had thought about for three whole months. The only intent in his mind was to avenge the humiliation from three months ago and reclaim Ke Er. Yun Xianling, beside him, could see Yang Zhufen's hostile gaze towards Yuancho Wujian. Hence, her gaze locked onto the boy sitting ahead of the others.

  Yuancho Wujian seemed to sense their gaze because he slightly opened his beautiful eyes and nonchalantly glanced at Yang Zhufen and Yun Xianling. A small smile appeared on his indifferent face, causing Yun Xianling to frown.

  No matter who it was, not even Yang Zhufen could escape his gaze. He could feel every change within Yang Zhufen and didn't even have to bother with the others. However, Yuancho Wujian gave him the feeling of falling into an infinite void with no end.

  Yuancho Wang Ming didn't even bother to descend and said in a tone that seemed to declare superiority, "It's time to move. The other three kingdoms have probably arrived." After that, he guided the flying stone, and the five-member group of the Yuancho Tribe disappeared from the crowd's sight.

  Yang Luohe, infuriated by the behavior of the Yuancho Tribe members, said, "The Yuancho Tribe is becoming more arrogant by the day!" His tone carried a chilling coldness. The members of the Yuancho Tribe didn't even pay them any heed and moved ahead of the king. This meant that the Yuancho Tribe didn't regard the king and the royal family in their eyes.

  Zhong Liancheng, agreeing with him, said, "The behavior of the Yuancho Tribe has always been atrocious. Even if that girl brought glory to the kingdom four years ago, they shouldn't be so arrogant!" He didn't really care about the Yuancho Tribe. Although the Yuancho Tribe had always acted mysteriously, he didn't think their overall power was higher than the Cloud Valley Sect.

  After all, the Cloud Valley Sect had two Spirit Light Realm experts, only one less than the Huo royal family.

  Huo Tianhan, with anger, said, "The behavior of the Yuancho Tribe is as if they are the rulers of the Fierce Hell Kingdom. If it weren't for that girl from the Yuancho Tribe bringing glory to the kingdom, I would have summoned the four royal legions to suppress this tribe." As a senior member of the Huo royal family and the younger brother of the king, he had a particular pride. The recent behavior of Yuancho Wang Ming made him very unhappy and furious.

  With what Huo Tianhan said, the crowd, especially Tan Kuanli and Tan Kuancheng, drew a cold breath. The Huo royal family had three Spirit Light Realm experts. Besides the old king who once ruled the Fierce Hell Kingdom, the greatest strength of the Huo royal family was the four royal legions.

  The four royal legions were separate from the kingdom's forces and were led only by the royal family. They were ruthless warriors on the battlefield. The power they possessed was enough to crush the Cloud Valley Sect.

  Tan Kuanli thought to himself, [This time, the behavior of the Yuancho Tribe has angered the royal family. I feel that a war is about to break out this time.]

  King Huo Tianhon had said nothing from the beginning. No one knew what he was thinking. In the end, he nodded his head and said, "It's time to move. We must not delay the Four Kingdoms Summit."

  Yang Zhufen and the others, who had been merely observing the elders' conversation from the beginning, simply obeyed the king's order and accompanied Prince Huo Chentian. As for the Yuancho Tribe? They had no say in the matter.

  The flying stone, guided by Yuancho Wang Ming, was moving at an incredible speed, covering a mile in a second.

  Yuancho Kongjian meditated with closed eyes and curiously asked, "A killer's gaze was locked on you. Do you have a blood enemy?" His tone was as sharp and cold as a sword.

  Yuancho Wujiang replied with a subtle smile, "It's nothing special. Why are you interested in such a small matter?"

  Yuancho Kongjian, still meditating with closed eyes, said, "I'm not interested! That girl beside him is strange. You should be careful." He didn't have any particular opinion about Yuancho Wujiang. Among the young masters of the tribe, the nineteenth young master was considered the weakest and said to have very low talent. Although he didn't know why the tribe leader gave the last spot to Yuancho Wujian, he didn't want any harm to come to him as a fellow tribesman.

  Yuancho Wujiang paused before responding, then said with indescribable calm in his tone, "My dignity as a young master of the tribe is very high. I will never allow my honor to be trampled by a small creature."

  This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

  At this moment, even the twins looked at this notorious young master in surprise. In the past, this young master always indulged in debauchery and usually didn't care about cultivation or his dignity, making him unpopular. But recently, Yuancho Wujian's behavior had changed by three hundred and sixty degrees.

  Yuancho Kongjian opened his clear eyes. A sharp gleam like a sword flashed from his eyes. Perhaps influenced by Yuancho Wujian's words, but whatever it was, he said with a rare smile, "Well, I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing your performance!"

  A deep indifference was evident in Yuancho Wujian's eyes. No one could tell what was going on in his mind.

  On the other hand, Yuancho Wang Ming didn't care about their conversation. However, he was also somewhat curious to see the performance of the nineteenth young master of his tribe. Yuancho Wujian's lineage and ancestry were very noble, so many supported him. Could it be that the nineteenth young master had undergone a mental revolution and changed his mindset?

  The Hidden Sky Realm was located at the center of the Four Kingdoms. The origin of the Hidden Sky Realm was unclear, and there was even a rumor that the history of this realm was longer than that of the Four Kingdoms. In other words, before the Four Kingdoms were established, this hidden realm existed.

  The Four Kingdoms conducted extensive research to understand the origin of this hidden realm but failed to obtain any suitable information. Instead, they discovered a very strong aura that suppressed individuals over the age of twenty. Therefore, the Four Kingdoms came to the understanding that the hidden realm only allowed individuals under twenty years old to enter.

  At the point where the borders of the Four Kingdoms met, there was a circular area with a radius of one hundred miles. If someone looked from above, they would feel as if they were facing a massive array mechanism. In the center of the circle, a small portal was clearly visible. This small portal, like a tiny crack in the space of the region, was gradually growing larger. An indescribable dark blue energy that was even visible to the naked eye emanated from the portal, instilling fear in others. Fortunately, the energy did not attack anyone.

  Surrounding the area were countless soldiers. Each group of soldiers stood behind a specific flag. In total, there were four flags representing the Four Kingdoms: the Heavenly Tang Kingdom in the east, the Fierce Hell Kingdom in the west, the Deep River Kingdom in the north, and the Red Cloud Kingdom in the south.

  As they entered the circular area, the representatives of the Yuancho Tribe, led by Yuancho Wang Ming, settled in a corner of the western direction. With a wave of Yuancho Wang Ming's hand, the green flying stone shrank smaller and smaller until it fit in his palm.

  A stone that grew and shrank! This was proof that the flying stone in Yuancho Wang Ming's hand was not ordinary.

  "The members of the Yuancho Tribe? Then where is the Fierce Hell Kingdom?" Someone shouted from the middle of the long crowd.

  "Wait, this is unusual. Arriving before the main group indicates the Yuancho Tribe's disrespect towards the king. Does the Yuancho Tribe not respect the Huo royal family?"

  "It doesn't matter. I heard the champion of the last summit was actually a girl from the Yuancho Tribe."

  "You've only heard, but I've seen it with my own eyes. I'll never forget that day!"

  The arrival of the Yuancho Tribe members at the Four Borders region created quite a commotion. Although the Yuancho Tribe had been very quiet, they were well-known in the Four Kingdoms. The turning point of this fame dated back to four years ago when that proud heavenly girl won the title of champion of the Four Kingdoms Summit and then traveled across the entire Four Kingdoms.

  Since then, the Yuancho Tribe had submerged in the sea of fame.

  In a beautiful canopy, a middle-aged man frowned as he looked at the members of the Yuancho Tribe. He wore large red armor adorned with carvings of a wild beast. The middle-aged man had an attractive appearance, and overall, he could be considered a handsome and accomplished individual.

  He was the great general of the Fierce Hell Kingdom, Wei Hantian. Wei Hantian was assigned by the king to lead the kingdom's soldiers to protect the Four Borders region and the Hidden Sky Realm.

  [This can't be simple. Either a problem has arisen, or we are heading towards one! I hope it's the former because the latter will plunge the kingdom into a civil war.] He thought to himself while putting aside his teacup. Only a child would think simply about this event. As the great general of the Fierce Hell Kingdom, he was an experienced man and knew that there was a problem between the Yuancho Tribe and the Huo royal family.

  Of course, he hoped it was nothing serious because a problem between these two tribes and families would result in a civil war, something he despised the most. Civil wars easily destabilized the foundations of the kingdom.

  Shortly after, the representatives of the Fierce Hell Kingdom, along with King Huo Tianhon, arrived at the Four Borders region.

  "Greetings to the king!" They were quickly received with enthusiastic applause from the soldiers. Their shouts, filled with excitement, were a sign of their sincere respect for the king and others. Of course, many also secretly worshipped Yang Zhufen. As the commander-in-chief of the kingdom's forces, Yang Zhufen was a great deity in their hearts.

  Even if he was weak, it didn't matter. They worshipped him.

  "Welcome, old friend!" The other three kings came to greet Huo Tianhon upon his arrival. Even if they were secretly enemies, they had to look like old friends at this moment. This was one of the abilities of a few old foxes.

  Huo Tianhon, with a friendly tone, said, "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

  Li Shimin, the king of the Heavenly Tang Kingdom, shook his head gently and said, "It's alright. Let's begin the meeting before the summit! We need to implement some changes this year!"

  Yun Lisheng, the king of the Red Cloud Kingdom, and Jin Kan, the king of the Deep River Kingdom, implicitly agreed with Li Shimin's suggestion. Therefore, Huo Tianhon had no objections.
