The Villain Didn't Die from Talking Too Much, but from Being Too Weak!

In the Holy Land Square, near the main hall, a bamboo chair has been placed there at some point.

The boy sat casually on the ordinary bamboo chair, dressed in a simple Green Robe, yet his extraordinary demeanor was undeniable. A Crimson Chick with piercing eyes perched in his hair added to the stark contrast with the desolate surroundings.

His calm gaze slowly swept across the square, and the faint noise seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand, suddenly plunging into a repressive silence.

Only those pale golden eyes, like ripples on an ancient well, reflected a depth that made one afraid to look directly at them.

Without relying on clothing or imposing manner, her ethereal beauty shines through.

This is truly an Exiled Immortal walking among mortals!

The girl stood quietly behind the boy, her head bowed. She was dressed in simple white, her eyes covered by a light veil. Her face was beautiful and otherworldly, exuding a Spiritual Qi that seemed untouched by worldly affairs.

She held a Green Bamboo Flute gently in both hands, her posture respectful and serene, as if serving a deity who had descended from the heavens to the Mortal World.

The two who suddenly appeared, their auras restrained, stood out from the kneeling crowd around them, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

The key point is --

These two didn't appear suddenly; they had clearly been here for quite some time, yet no one had noticed them before!

Jiang Yan's heart trembled violently, but he had nowhere to retreat at this moment, and he was even less willing to involve the innocent. He immediately took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"You two... Non-Self our Holy Land, please leave immediately! The trouble here may harm innocent bystanders!"

He was covered in blood, with Lightning Light flickering uneasily across his body, and his tone was anxious and earnest.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wangchuan, sitting on the bamboo chair, seemed to smile with a barely perceptible curve at the corners of his mouth.

He neither rose nor showed any emotion.

She simply met Jiang Yan's gaze calmly, then slightly raised her hand and made a gentle "please" gesture.

It was as if to say: You guys continue, I won't interfere.

The frivolous look in Xiao Duantian's eyes vanished instantly.

With a casual flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind swept past, sending Tao Ziyan, who was beside him, flying lightly away.

This drew a gasp from Jiang Yan.

His indifferent gaze swept directly over Jiang Yan, who looked like an ant, and then, like two beams of golden light, fell upon the Green Robe Youth seemed to have been sitting there since ancient times.

His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

'This person's charisma is unprecedented; he even seems to surpass me in some ways?'

The moment this thought arose, even Xiao Duantian himself couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Furthermore, with his Eighth Realm Divine Sense, which had already enveloped the entire area from the moment he descended, reflecting all things in his mind, how could he have failed to detect this person's presence?

"Interesting."

Xiao Duantian uttered a soft murmur, his voice carrying a hint of genuine surprise.

Could a Holy Land in the Lower Realm actually harbor a figure that even he couldn't see through at a glance?

His gaze swept across the area like that of a hawk, first landing on the Crimson Chick perched on the boy's shoulder, where it paused slightly.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that it was no ordinary bird. A faint, ancient, and obscure bloodline fluctuation flowed within its body, which even made him feel a slight, indescribable tremor.

Their gazes fell upon the Green Robe Youth.

Faced with the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon caused by his status as the Crown Prince of the Crown Prince of Upper Realm, the All Spirits Kneel, and even the Lightning Law Fluctuation caused by Jiang Yan's desperate struggle, he remained calm and composed, as if watching a play that had nothing to do with him.

That calmness wasn't feigned; it stemmed from an indifference deep within.

However, none of this matters.

What truly caught Xiao Duantian's attention was the girl behind the Green Robe Youth, whose Veiled Maiden.

Her figure was elegant and her aura pure, as if she resonated with the entire world.

That otherworldly, ethereal beauty and unparalleled grace instantly ignited the most fervent flame in Xiao Duantian's heart, causing an unprecedented desire to possess and conquer to reach its peak.

This woman was chosen to enter his divine palace and become the most dazzling treasure in his collection!

Forcibly averting his gaze from the woman, Xiao Duantian naturally knew that the Green Robe Youth was her master.

But the more I thought about it that way, the more I found this person extremely annoying.

However, since the other party's identity was unknown, he kept that burning passion hidden in his heart.

"It's rare to find someone worthy of your attention in the Lower Realm." Xiao Duantian's playful smile deepened slightly, carrying the composure and scrutiny befitting Crown Prince of Upper Realm. "May I ask this fellow Daoist's name and origin?"

As he spoke, his gaze subtly swept towards the old man beside him—the "Tian Lao," the Dao Protector personally appointed by his Queen Mother, whose cultivation was unfathomable.

Although I cannot detect it myself, the Tian Lao must have already sensed it...

However, Tian Lao's expression turned solemn, and he shook his head almost imperceptibly.

At this, Xiao Duantian felt a slight chill in his heart.

Tian Lao couldn't detect when those two had appeared here.

His face remained calm, maintaining that ambiguous smile, but the pure arrogance deep inside had quietly subsided, replaced by a solemnity befitting the face of the unknown.

'Is he Successor of some Reclusive Old Monster from the Upper Realm? Or is he here like me to seize the Qi Yun...?'

Just as Xiao Duantian was pondering whether the other party was Hidden Successor or a powerful newcomer, the Green Robe Youth sitting calmly on the bamboo chair finally turned his gaze to him for the first time and spoke softly.

"Wen Dao Palace, Qing Wangchuan."

His voice was calm, without the slightest fluctuation in his cultivation level, yet it clearly suppressed all the noise in the square.

"This trip is just a stopover."

As he spoke, he didn't even glance at Xiao Duantian. His gaze returned to Jiang Yan, who was surrounded by Lightning Light and looked bewildered. He repeated the gentle "please" gesture from before.

"You may continue."

The chick on my shoulder chirped at just the right moment, its clear sound seeming to echo my sentiment.

His demeanor showed no regard for the Crown Prince of Upper Realm or the tense scene, as if he were merely a bystander who had stumbled upon this place.

Wen Dao Palace?

Xiao Duantian's brow twitched almost imperceptibly; this name didn't match any of the top-tier forces he had anticipated.

His gaze shifted again to Tian Lao beside him, with a questioning tone.

Upon hearing the words "Wen Dao Palace," Tian Lao's tense expression visibly relaxed, and a subtle telepathic transmission immediately resounded in Xiao Duantian's Sea of Consciousness:

"Your His Highness, this old servant is aware of this force. It is merely a newly emerging power in the Jiuqu Realm of Middle Thousand Provinces. It is said that they struggled their way up from a barren Lower Realm. Although they have made some name for themselves in recent years and are jokingly referred to by some as having 'invincible potential and should never be offended,'... such a sect has a shallow foundation. To my Xiao family, they are like fireflies compared to the bright moon, and are not a threat at all."

That's absolutely right.

The Xiao family is not an ordinary aristocratic Aristocratic Clan in the Middle Thousand Provinces, but has long transcended the scope of Lineage and reached the level of "realm lord" who governs a hundred Lower Thousand Provinces.

With a vast and boundless territory, and Prodigy emerging within its ranks, this is the foundation that allows it to overlook all living beings.

A mere "newly emerging" sect that climbed up from the Lower Realm is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Xiao family!

Xiao Duantian now understood why the other party was so calm.

'So you're from the Upper Realm...'

However, he was not completely relaxed.

The other party's unfathomable methods of concealment, and the deep-seated indifference they displayed when facing him, clearly indicated that they had something to rely on.

More importantly, Xiao Duantian was now certain—

The source of the upheaval in the Xuanhuang World's Qi Yun may very well be one of these two!

One is a lowly ant from the Lower Realm who unleashes his potential to protect his beloved;

The other one was Green Robe Youth from Middle Thousand Provinces, whose depths were unfathomable!

Upon this thought, a cold, resolute, and greedy glint flashed in Xiao Duantian's eyes.

Now that the background has been investigated and there is nothing to fear, there is no need to waste any more time!

A cruel yet elegant smile curved his lips. He casually took a half-step back, handing the stage to the silent and profound Tian Lao beside him.

At the same time, a chilling command, imbued with supreme authority, boomed like thunder across the silent square:

"Tian Lao, kill them!"
