Everyone inclined their heads, staring at the young man in the air as their expressions froze.
It's him, he actually came.
In an instant, everyone inclined their heads and stared at the young man descending from the sky. This caused a strange expression to appear on Qin Wentian's face. Most probably, this young man was an empyrean. Even Namhwang Yunxi hadn't received such treatment before.
Qin Wentian could easily guess that there were only two geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors who could attract more attention compared to the beauties Namhwang Yunxi and Qing'er. After all, Namhwang Yunxi's ranking was already terrifyingly high.
And in terms of demeanor, although this young man appeared carefree, one could faintly sense the disdain he exuded. It was obvious who this young man was.
"A descendant of Zidi, Zi Daoyang."
Qin Wentian silently mused. Zi Daoyang was ranked # 1 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, the number one genius in the entire City of Ancient Emperors. In that case, even in the entire immortal realms, he could be considered one of the top few at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon.
"Lengyue, are you alright?" Zi Daoyang glanced at the injured Xiao Lengyue on the ground before turning his gaze back to Qin Wentian.
"Daoyang gege!" Although Xiao Lengyue was injured, she still called out in a gentle voice. That melodious voice of hers was able to cause the hearts of those who heard it to tremble. This caused countless people to be speechless in their hearts. This was the disparity between them. Although they were both geniuses, the disparity between them was still too great. Xiao Lengyue had countless pursuers, but none of them had shown any interest in her.
And now that Zi Daoyang appeared, Xiao Lengyue actually addressed him so intimately, calling him 'Daoyang gege' in a gentle voice. Those pursuers couldn't help but feel disheartened. Such treatment caused their hearts to turn cold. But when they inclined their heads and stared at Zi Daoyang, they could only sigh in their hearts.
No wonder Xiao Lengyue was like this. This man was Zi Daoyang. Even if she was a supreme beauty, if her status wasn't high enough, she wouldn't even be qualified to be his friend.
"Are you alright?" Zi Daoyang asked. Xiao Lengyue shook her head lightly, "Wasn't Daoyang gege in closed-door seclusion? How come you have the time to come out now?"
"I heard news of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor in the Underworld Mountains, so I came out to take a look." Zi Daoyang spoke. After that, he turned his gaze onto Nanfeng Yunxi as he smiled, "Princess Yunxi, a descendant of the Southern Phoenix Clan, a descendant of the Southern Phoenix Matriarch. You truly live up to your reputation."
"Do you also believe in the rumors of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor?" Nanfeng Yunxi asked Zi Daoyang.
"I do, because I know of someone who has already entered the Underworld Mountains and has already been there for a very long period of time. I believe that he wouldn't die there." Zi Daoyang smiled and nodded, his words causing a strange expression to appear on Nanfeng Yunxi's face. "Are you referring to him?"
Hearing their conversation, the hearts of the crowd trembled, instantly guessing who they were referring to. Zi Daoyang was the # 1 ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, and Namhwang Yunxi was the # 3 ranker. The person they were referring to could only be that extremely ruthless character. Who would have thought that the reason he disappeared for so long was because he had gone to the Underworld Mountains?
How ruthless. "Other than him, who else could it be? He spared no expense to defeat me, seizing my # 1 ranking, and even entered the Underworld Mountains to search for good fortune. He's truly ruthless to himself. Now, there's news that the Brahma Heavenly Emperor's inheritance might be in the Underworld Mountains. If he really obtained it …" Zi Daoyang's eyes gleamed with sharpness. In the City of Ancient Emperors, the only person he felt a trace of trepidation towards was that person.
"Other than him, who else could it be? He spared no expense, wanting to defeat me and seize the top rank on the Immortal Ascension Rankings. He even entered the Underworld Mountains to search for good fortune. He's truly ruthless to himself. Now, there's news that the Brahma Heavenly Emperor's inheritance might be within the Underworld Mountains. If he really obtained it …" Zi Daoyang's eyes gleamed with sharpness. In the City of Ancient Emperors, the only person who could cause him to feel a trace of trepidation was none other than that person.

In the City of Ancient Emperors, the only person he felt a trace of trepidation towards was that person.
As he thought of this, Qin Wentian couldn't help but feel worried. Little Rascal could sense the summoning energy. It should be because he had his own good fortune that Qin Wentian allowed him to stay in the Underworld Mountains. However, Qin Wentian was still worried about Little Rascal's safety.
At this moment, Zi Daoyang's eyes turned to Qing 'er, who was standing behind Qin Wentian. He smiled and called out, "Little Sister Qing' er."
As the sound of his voice faded, expressions of interest appeared on the faces of many. Xiao Lengyue referred to him as Daoyang gege, but Zi Daoyang simply referred to her as Lengyue. He referred to Namhwang Yunxi as Princess Yunxi, and to Princess Qing 'er, he referred to her as Little Sister Qing' er. These three different forms of address. He referred to Lengyue as someone he was familiar with, to Namhwang Yunxi was courteous, and to Princess Qing 'er, he referred to her as Little Sister Qing' er.
The moment he arrived, he immediately interacted with the three supreme beauties of the City of Ancient Emperors. Such confidence wasn't something others could possess. After all, these three supreme beauties were all ranked within the top ten of the Immortal Ascension Rankings.
However, the spectators only saw an expression of unhappiness on Princess Qing`er's face as she coldly glanced at Zi Daoyang.
"Uncle Evergreen often visits my clan as a guest and is as close as a brother to my father. He treats my father like an elder brother and I've long heard of you from him, but I've never had the chance to meet you in person. Today in the City of Ancient Emperors, I was able to recognize you with a single glance. My age is slightly older than you and in addition to the fact that we're of the same generation, it's not too much for me to refer to you as little sister. Sister Qing`er, please don't take offense. This is also a request my uncle made to me back then.
Zi Daoyang smiled. If it was someone else who referred to Princess Qing 'er in this manner, the crowd might feel that they were intentionally trying to get close to her, or perhaps taking advantage of her. However, when Zi Daoyang spoke in this manner, the crowd felt that it was extremely normal.
As for how complicated the relationships between immortal emperors were, these juniors weren't very clear. However, Zidi was one of the strongest immortal emperors in the immortal realms, and he even had several immortal emperors following him. It wasn't strange for the Changqing The Great to refer to him as Elder Brother.
"Just call me by my name," Qin Wentian spoke in a Cold voice. Qing`er icily replied. Zi Daoyang glanced at her before he smiled and nodded, "That's fine as well. In the future, if you're out of the City of Ancient Emperors, Qing`er, if you're free, come over to my place for a visit."
Qing 'er didn't reply. Zi Daoyang then turned his gaze to Qin Wentian and Xuan Yang. He first spoke to Xuan Yang, "We're all acquaintances, there's no need to fight like this. Xuan Yang, give me some face and bring Leng Yue and the people of your Twin Stars Alliance away."
Xuan Yang's countenance froze, and his expression turned extremely unsightly. Zi Daoyang seemed to be intentionally revealing that his relationship with Qing 'er wasn't shallow. If that was the case, wouldn't he, Xuan Yang, give up on avenging Xuan Xing?
"What's wrong?" Zi Daoyang couldn't help but furrow his brows when he saw Xuan Yang's heavy expression.
"Since you've spoken, I can give up on this battle. However, Qin Wentian injured an old general of the Xiao Sect, as well as Leng Yue. Are we just going to let this matter rest?" Xuan Yang inclined his head and stared at Zi Daoyang.
Although Xuan Yang was ranked # 4 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings in the City of Ancient Emperors, and there weren't many who could suppress him, he still had to give face to Zi Daoyang. Regardless of strength or background, there was a great disparity between him and Zi Daoyang.
Although there were many descendants of immortal emperors in the City of Ancient Emperors, there were still differences in strength between immortal emperors and immortal emperors. Zi Daoyang's father, Zidi, was a supremely powerful immortal emperor, and even had immortal emperors under him. Compared to Xuan Yang's father, the Xuan Emperor, Zi Daoyang was much stronger.
Similarly, this was also the reason why the Xiao Emperor didn't dare to humiliate Qing 'er back then when his immortal sense appeared. Qing' er had the Changqing The Great and Ji Di behind her, and both of them were stronger than the Xiao Emperor. In a battle between juniors, regardless of who won or lost, the elders shouldn't interfere. If he, the Xiao Emperor, interfered and humiliated Qing 'er, once the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and Ji Di learned of this, they would surely view him as an eyesore.
When Zi Daoyang heard Xuan Yang's words, he turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian as he spoke, "Xuan Yang's words aren't without reason. You heavily injured Lengyue, I'll ask Xuan Yang to stop the battle, and you apologize to Lengyue. How about it?"
Qin Wentian stared at the top ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, Zi Daoyang. At this moment, he still didn't understand why Zi Daoyang would appear here. He was like a peacemaker, wanting everyone to give him face. Was it because he wanted to show off?
Given Zi Daoyang's status, there was no need for him to do this.
Qin Wentian's countenance was cold. He didn't like Zi Daoyang at all. That time when Zi Daoyang referred to Qing 'er as his younger sister, although Zi Daoyang had said it openly, it still made Qin Wentian unhappy. In addition, what qualifications did he have to ask Xuan Yang to stop the battle and apologize?
Xuan Yang and him, Qin Wentian, were enemies. Qin Wentian defeated Xiao Lengyue because Zi Daoyang came to cause trouble. Bluntly speaking, Zi Daoyang was merely using his strength to suppress Qin Wentian. If it was someone else, would Xuan Yang compromise?
"Why should I apologize?" Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at Zi Daoyang.
The eyes of everyone narrowed. The person before Qin Wentian was none other than Zi Daoyang, the top ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Even Xuan Yang had to compromise before Zi Daoyang. Why was Qin Wentian asking why?
Everyone understood that Zi Daoyang was relying on his tyrannical strength.
"You're asking me why?" Zi Daoyang laughed. "Although you obtained the ultimate art of an ancient emperor, the God's Hand, and relied on it to defeat Lengyue, even if you're at the ninth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, you're still not strong enough to stand before me."
"Hehe." Qin Wentian laughed. "Didn't I say that in a battle in the City of Ancient Emperors, there's no need for the victor to apologize. If you want to use your strength to suppress me, just say it directly. Why do you have to beat around the bush?"
Bluntly speaking, everyone here had to look up to Zi Daoyang. The reason why he interacted with the three supreme beauties the moment he arrived was undoubtedly because of his strength and status.
"I've already broken through to the ninth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, so there's no meaning to it. But if you want me to lower my face and apologize just because of a single sentence from you, aren't you overestimating yourself a little too much?" Qin Wentian faintly spoke.
Zi Daoyang wasn't angered when he heard Qin Wentian's words. He calmly stared at him, but his eyes gradually turned sharp. At this moment, Qing 'er walked to the side of Qin Wentian and stared at Zi Daoyang together with him.
"Qing 'er, is he your good friend?" Zi Daoyang stared at Qing' er as he asked.
Qing 'er's countenance was Cold. She stared at Zi Daoyang and didn't reply. Zi Daoyang didn't seem to mind as he smiled, "Since this is the case, I won't make things difficult for him."
After speaking, his countenance softened as he turned to Xuan Yang. "Xuan Yang, this matter ends here. Uncle Evergreen once instructed me to take care of Qing 'er. You've also heard my words earlier. In the future, you're not to cause trouble here again."
