"What—what!? Cangxuan Tianzun!?"
Ling Wentian's roar left everyone present dumbfounded. They looked around in astonishment, their faces filled with uncertainty.
"Why would His Majesty suddenly shout Cangxuan Tianzun's name? Could it be that... Cangxuan Tianzun is here too, and is also a Great Protector of the Taihua Dynasty!?"
"At this critical moment, His Majesty suddenly called out Cangxuan Tianzun's title. It seems Cangxuan Tianzun really must be here. But he's one of the few Mahayana Earth Immortals in the Eastern Wasteland. Even if he truly is a protector of the Taihua Dynasty, he certainly wouldn't hold an ordinary Great Protector's position!"
"That doesn't matter. Whatever Cangxuan Tianzun's status in the Taihua Dynasty, His Majesty called on him to act at a time like this. That shows Cangxuan Tianzun must have a close relationship with our dynasty."
"Exactly! No wonder His Majesty dared to say he wouldn't let the matter rest, even knowing that man was a Mahayana Earth Immortal. His Majesty must have had a reason to be confident; it wasn't just an angry outburst. I just never expected the Taihua Dynasty to have Cangxuan Tianzun, another Mahayana Earth Immortal, standing guard in secret, in addition to the Great Protectors everyone knew about!"
"Indeed. It seems that although that man is a Mahayana Earth Immortal, Cangxuan Tianzun is here to protect the Taihua Dynasty. His threat to wipe out the entire Royal Family is nothing but a fool's dream!"
"Absolutely. They're both Mahayana Earth Immortals. There's no way this man can wipe out the Royal Family right in front of Cangxuan Tianzun!"
As the crowd discussed the matter, Zhao Yuan, Bahuang Shenjun, the other Great Protectors of the Taihua Dynasty, and the officials present all breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, they all turned to look at Ling Wentian.
