The crowd fell silent upon hearing Gu Tiezi's words.
No one expected the Ancient Prince to make such a move at the most critical juncture of the competition for the position of Young King.
Ling Yan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
Gu Tiezi's decision took her by surprise.
After all, the position of the Young Emperor of the Xian Ting was one of the most honorable identities in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
It might even become the ruler of the Xian Ting in the future!
And yet, Gu Tiezi was willing to give up on it.
At this point, the Ancient Prince's intentions were clear.
He was willing to give the position of the Young Emperor to Ling Yan.
However, Ling Yan would have to team up with him to deal with Jun Xiaoyao.
In the end, he would have to kill Jun Xiaoyao with his own hands to claim the reward of the Heavenly Dao Crown.
"Is Gu Tiezi really going to give the position of the Young Emperor to Sister Ling Yan?" Wei Qianqian opened her mouth wide in disbelief.
"I believe there are a few reasons behind it," Cang Li's deep eyes flickered with wisdom.
"Firstly, Gu Tiezi does have a crush on Ling Yan. It's his way of expressing his goodwill to her."
"Secondly, Gu Tiezi does hate Jun Xiaoyao to the core. After all, Jun Xiaoyao had ruined his reputation and made him a laughingstock."
"Thirdly, instead of fighting with Ling Yuan and offending her, the Ancient Prince might as well kill Jun Xiaoyao and obtain the Heavenly Law Crown. That way, he would be destined to prove himself, and he would gain quite a lot as well."
They had to admit that Cang Li's analysis was quite reasonable.
The successors of the Immortal Factions nodded in agreement.
Everyone knew Gu Tiezi had a crush on Ling Yan.
If he were to fight with Ling Yan over the position of the Young Emperor, it would completely destroy his hope of marrying Ling Yan.
If that was the case, he might as well hand over the position of Young Emperor gracefully.
He might even be able to move her and win her heart.
Gu Tiezi's plan was very deep.
There was a chance that he would be able to win the heart of a beauty, kill Jun Xiaoyao with his own hands, and even obtain the Heavenly Dao Crown as a reward.
This was killing three birds with one stone!
"What do you think, Ling Yan? Do you agree?" Gu Tiezi smiled at Ling Yan.
Ling Yan's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile.
With her intelligence, how could she not know what Gu Tiezi was planning?
"Kill Jun Xiaoyao?" Ling Yan muttered to himself.
For some reason, the image of Jun Xiaoyao's blood-stained white clothes flashed through Ling Yan's mind.
She felt a faint stab of pain in her heart.
"Damn it, it's that ill-fated fate of a hundred lives." Ling Yan frowned.
She had tried to cut off this ill-fated fate of a hundred lives, but she did not succeed.
Ling Yan did not care at first, but now she realized that this ill-fated fate of a hundred lives was not so easy to cut off.
"If Jun Xiaoyao dies, perhaps this effect will be removed." Ling Yan calculated in her heart.
"Ling Yan, can't you make a decision yet? I've shown enough sincerity, haven't I?" Gu Tiezi asked.
"Alright, I promise you, but … don't think that I'm afraid of you. If we really fight, it's hard for you to beat me," Ling Yan said coldly.
Although it looked like Gu Tiezi was being modest.
If they really fought, Gu Tiezi might not be able to defeat Ling Yan and win the position of Young Emperor.
Therefore, Ling Yan naturally did not think that Gu Tiezi was being modest.
She moved her snow-white long legs and landed in front of the Celestial Emperor's throne.
Then, she sat down.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire space of the Immortal Stele Forest was filled with immortal light.
Amidst the boundless divine light, Ling Yan sat on the Celestial Emperor's throne.
A pair of snow-white long legs were crossed, and one of them was propped up.
Her legs were long and slender, making them look perfect.
Her black hair floated in the wind, and her phoenix eyes were full of power.
Her beautiful face contained a domineering aura that did not lose out to men. She was like an invincible female immortal king with unparalleled charm.
"I, Ling Yan, will become the first female Young Emperor in the history of Xian Ting!"
"Operate the universe and manipulate the heavenly secrets. Nine immortal orthodoxies, heed my command!"
Ling Yan's cold voice resounded throughout the Immortal Stele Forest.
"Gu Tiezi of the Fuxi Immortal Orthodoxy greets the Young Emperor." Gu Tiezi cupped his hands and smiled.
"Wei Qianqian of the Elite Guard Immortal Orthodoxy greets the Young Emperor!" Wei Qianqian hurried over.
The Elite Guard Immortal Orthodoxy sided with Empress Wa's Immortal Orthodoxy.
"Cang Li of the Cang Jie Immortal Orthodoxy greets the Young Emperor!"
"Yao Qing of the Shennong Immortal Orthodoxy greets the Young Emperor!"
"Xing Lu of the Xingtian Immortal Orthodoxy greets the Young Emperor!"
One by one, the successors of immortal orthodoxies came forward and cupped their hands.
No matter what they were thinking, they all cupped their hands in greeting.
Apart from them, there were also thousands of sky-prides from various immortal orthodoxies who came to participate in the trial. They were all dragons and phoenixes, the cream of the crop.
"Greetings, Young Emperor Ling Yan!"
Thousands of sky-prides cupped their hands in greeting. Their voices shook the nine heavens!
One could say that Ling Yan's power was at its peak!
Looking at the sky-prides below, Ling Yan's lips curled into a smile.
She did it.
She became the first female Young Emperor in the history of Xian Ting.
She might even become the ruler of Xian Ting in the future.
"Don't worry, I will use the Heavenly Emperor's Throne's brand to find the real Immortal Artifact, the Heavenly Emperor's Throne.
When the real Heavenly Emperor's Throne reappears in the Immortal Region, it will be the time for the Xian Ting to ascend once again! "Ling Yan declared domineeringly.
"Young Emperor is mighty!" Many sky-prides cheered.
Ling Yuan was the most popular successor among the nine great immortal orthodoxies.
Most of them were convinced that she was the Young Emperor.
Of course, there were also those who sided with Gu Tiezi.
However, since Gu Tiezi took the initiative to give up the throne, they naturally wouldn't criticize him.
"Young Emperor, you should know that the most important thing for us now is to deal with our enemy, Jun Xiaoyao, the successor of the Jun Family."
"The Jun Family's ambition is not dead. They have always wanted to replace our position as the Supreme Xian Ting. If we can eliminate the successor of the Jun Family, it will be a warning to the Jun Family," Gu Tiezi said.
"That's right. The Son Of God of the Jun Family is too arrogant. He doesn't take us, the successors of Xian Ting, seriously at all."
"Yes, Chi Lie of Chi You Xian Ting was killed by the Son Of God of the Jun Family."
"The Son Of God of the Jun Family also killed the Four Heavenly Kings of the Xian Ting."
Gu Tiezi's words stirred up the crowd.
This group of Xian Ting sky-prides had long disliked Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, the Xian Ting were used to being superior.
They had always been the ones bullying others.
This was the first time someone had bullied the Xian Ting.
They were used to being superior. Naturally, they didn't like it when someone was more superior than them.
However, Jun Xiaoyao's status as the Son Of God of the Jun Family was not inferior to the Xian Ting's Young Emperor.
Jun Xiaoyao even had the status of the Young Master of the Jiang Family and the Lord of the Emperor's Court.
A cold light flashed in Ling Yan's eyes when she heard this.
Was Gu Tiezi afraid that she wouldn't keep her promise?
"Don't worry. I will deal with Jun Xiaoyao," Ling Yan said coldly.
Gu Tiezi smiled confidently and said, "Young Emperor, I have a plan."
"With this plan, we can definitely kill Jun Xiaoyao in the ultimate trial!"
