The Octagonal Palace was built with a special kind of rock that was native to the God Burial Star Ocean. It had been built a long time ago, so it exuded a simple and unadorned aura.
A graceful and luxuriously dressed middle-aged man was sitting on the main seat. He was a Principal Elder of the Hidden City who held a high position. His cultivation was also extremely profound. The Flame Lord had also given Ye Xiwen some pointers about the Hidden City's matters and relationships before he had come to the Hidden City.
After all, the Flame Lord was in charge of many matters regarding the God Transformation Abyss and the Blood Prison. The Hidden City wasn't under his control. In other words, it wasn't his territory. Even if it was also the territory of the Hidden Valley, he couldn't be too presumptuous.
Apart from Elder Gong, there was also a woman. This woman was dressed in a light blue robe. She exuded a tranquil aura, but there was a hint of arrogance and inviolability in her eyes.
This woman hid very deeply, but it was difficult to escape Ye Xiwen's eyes. She was also a terrifying deity with profound skills.
There were a few people behind her. Some were young, some were young, some were male, and some were female.
The old ones seemed to be this woman's servants. As for the young ones, Ye Xiwen guessed that they were probably the outstanding disciples of the Holy Spirit Family. They could also be the woman's followers, just like how Saint Wu Fa also had many followers.
Or maybe it was both!
Ye Xiwen walked in and immediately discovered that everyone was looking at him, especially those from the Holy Spirit Family. Their gazes were quite unfriendly.
In particular, that woman's gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Xiwen. It seemed as if she wanted to see through him.
He felt as if a sharp blade was scraping his body.
"Greetings, Elder Gong!"
Ye Xiwen cupped his hands and said, "May I know why Elder Gong has summoned me?"
"Are you that Ye Xiwen?" At this moment, a young man behind the woman stepped forward and said with a hint of arrogance on his face. "You're still pretending to be stupid? You should know why we're here! "
"Elder Gong, may I know who this person is from the Holy Spirit Family?" Ye Xiwen didn't even look at the man. He only looked at the young woman and asked.
"Arrogant!"
"Arrogant!"
These evaluations came from the mouths of the people of the Holy Spirit Clan one after another. The implication of Ye Xiwen's words was that he was only interested in this luxuriously dressed woman. Other people couldn't attract his attention.
Forget about the old men, they had already recognized themselves as slaves, so it didn't matter at all. However, the young and vigorous men and women couldn't bear it any longer.
They were the followers of this woman, but they were also famous powerhouses. They weren't the kind of old antiques who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years. Ye Xiwen had actually dared to ignore them. This was tantamount to provoking public anger all of a sudden.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you ignore us!" That man was particularly angry. It would've been fine if Ye Xiwen was one of those famous peerless geniuses. However, Ye Xiwen was merely a junior who had emerged in recent years.
His cultivation age was not even a fraction of his own, and he was only famous because he had some dog shit luck. Yet, he actually dared to be so arrogant at this time. Damn it.
The saying that Ye Xiwen had some dog shit luck to pick up such a big bargain was not only in the Hidden Valley, but also in the entire God Burial Star Ocean. This saying was very popular.
In their opinion, if those super experts and Lord Gods had gone, how could Ye Xiwen be so arrogant? He was just lucky, and now, he actually dared to ignore them.
This was intolerable!
Ye Xiwen once again ignored that man, and directly looked at the woman with a tranquil bearing.
"Let me introduce you. Everyone, this is my Hidden Valley's newly risen peerless heaven's pride, Ye Xiwen!" Elder Gong said with a smile on his face. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with using the words' peerless heaven's pride '.
Although there were rumors in the streets that he had some dog shit luck, he didn't care about it at all. Even if he had seized the Ten Thousand Spell Roulette when there weren't any big shots present, how could he, an immortal-stage powerhouse, fight against four Eternal Stage powerhouses alone, and end up with two dead and two injured, be fake?
How could such a battle record not be worthy of being called a peerless heaven's pride?
If this wasn't considered a peerless heaven's pride, then find one and see!
Elder Gong couldn't be bothered with these people's thoughts. They were a group of people blinded by jealousy.
"Hmph, what peerless heaven's pride, it's just an undeserved reputation!" That man said in a 'low' voice, but everyone present heard it.
Elder Gong's face immediately turned ugly. This wasn't questioning Ye Xiwen, but him. How could he not be furious?
"This is Ling Qiong from the Ling family of the Holy Spirit Family!" Elder Gong said indifferently.
Because of the Holy Spirit Family's repeated provocations, he was also unhappy.
Ye Xiwen was a member of the younger generation in the eyes of the Holy Spirit Clan. However, these people were also members of the younger generation in his eyes. They had dared to clamor in front of him. How could he not feel displeased in his heart?
Ling Qiong!
Ye Xiwen was a little surprised that the person who came was not from the Holy Spirit Family. Although the Holy Spirit Family claimed to be one, and the two families were connected by marriage for many generations, in reality, they weren't monolithic.
"May I know why Miss Ling has come?" Ye Xiwen faintly asked.
"Ye Xiwen, you don't need to put on an act. You should be very clear about our purpose of coming here!" the man under Ling Qiong's command said calmly.
Ye Xiwen sneered, "I'm talking to your master. Since when does a dog have the qualifications to interrupt?"
Ye Xiwen finally couldn't bear it anymore. Ye Xiwen had disdained to pay attention to this man. However, this man had provoked him again and again, and had finally infuriated him.
Not only that man, but Ling Qiong's complexion also changed as soon as these words came out. Ye Xiwen's words were very unpleasant to hear. What dog? They were only his pursuers. They weren't his slaves, and they weren't his dogs either.
"Good, good, good!" That man's entire body trembled in anger. He was seething with anger from his seven orifices. He had been treated like a dog not so long ago. "Then, let me, Feng Ruizong, test the quality of this so-called peerless heaven's pride expert!"
The imposing aura crazily erupted from his body, and instantly filled the main hall. However, he quickly restrained his aura. His five fingers condensed into a fist, and punched towards Ye Xiwen.
"Miss Ling, I don't think this is a good idea. Hurry up and tell your men to stop!" Elder Gong slowly said.
"Elder, don't worry. Feng Ruizong knows what he's doing. He just can't bear to see his arrogance. So, he wants to teach him a little lesson. It's natural for young people to be proud of themselves. However, I'm afraid that it won't be a good thing if he's young and frivolous." Ling Qiong waved her hand in a calm manner.
"Humph!" Elder Gong coldly snorted and said, "Since Miss Ling feels that it's alright, then I won't say anything. However, I think you might have misunderstood. I'm not worried about Ye Xiwen. I'm worried that he might not be able to control himself and kill Feng Ruizong!"
Ling Qiong's eyes suddenly widened, and her complexion turned extremely ugly.
At this time, she didn't have time to say anything. She saw Ye Xiwen's earth-shattering roar, and the entire Octagonal Palace trembled. His loud roar had completely destroyed the imposing aura of Feng Ruizong.
The imposing aura erupted from Ye Xiwen's body, and swept out like a conquering army.
"Just you? You want to teach me a lesson? I think you're really too arrogant and conceited. You're overestimating yourself! " Ye Xiwen sneered. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Feng Ruizong, and slapped him.
"Bang!"
A loud sound was heard, and it sounded like the collision of gold and iron. It was accompanied by Feng Ruizong's pitiful scream, and he was sent flying. He severely hit the wall, and then tumbled to the ground.
"Ah!" Feng Ruizong covered his face, and constantly screamed. His entire head had almost been smashed by Ye Xiwen's slap. His divine shell was simply too fragile in front of Ye Xiwen. He wasn't a match for Ye Xiwen at all.
"How dare you go around teaching people a lesson with your strength? I think you're really tired of living. Today, for the sake of the Holy Ghost Family, I'll only teach you a lesson. Otherwise, I'll strangle you to death with one slap! "Ye Xiwen said indifferently.
Everyone was shocked, and they were all dumbfounded. Only Ye Xiwen's voice reverberated in the air.
No one had expected that Feng Ruizong would be so vulnerable in front of Ye Xiwen. They had originally thought that Ye Xiwen's so-called 'Matchless Heaven's Pride' was nothing more than a monkey proclaiming himself as the king when there was no tiger on the mountain.
It was not a big deal at all. Many people thought that Ye Xiwen's achievement of fighting against four Eternal Stage powerhouses alone was just bragging. They had never seen an Immortal-stage powerhouse with such tyrannical strength.
Now, it seemed that it was far from that simple!
Especially among Ling Qiong's followers, it caused a sensation.
"What? How is this possible? Feng Ruizong's strength is also one of the best among us. How could he be crippled by one slap?" Many people looked at Feng Ruizong in shock. One should know that he was using a divine shell. Even if it wasn't as tyrannical as an Eternal Stage powerhouse's, ordinary injuries would be more or less healed in an instant.
Now, he was actually holding his head in pain and rolling on the ground. The entire hall was filled with his miserable screams. What kind of technique did Ye Xiwen use?
"Since when did such a tyrannical person appear in the Hidden Valley? If this goes on, what will happen in the future? Who can cure him? "Someone cried out in alarm.
Even the disciples who were guarding outside the hall were alarmed at this moment.
"So powerful. This Ye Xiwen is much more powerful than I imagined. However, he did a good job. These people from the Holy Ghost Family are too arrogant. Do they really think that the Hidden City is in their Holy Ghost Family's territory? They still dare to be arrogant! "
