Yaochi's Heavenly Palace.
The Queen Mother of the West sat on the high seat, her sharp phoenix eyes piercing every subtle detail. No emotion showed on her regal face. With her gaze lowered, she made her decision within a few breaths of the Huosang Planet Golden Crow Clan youth's insolence.
The Golden Crow Clan of Huosang Planet was powerful, but in Yaochi's countless years, it had never encountered a cultivator so unruly and arrogant.
Yaochi was gracious, but it would not tolerate such an insult.
If she did not act this time, maintaining Yaochi's neutrality would be the least of her worries. Trouble would likely come in an endless stream.
The Queen Mother of the West slowly rose. Her phoenix eyes chilled, and the might of a Dao-Slaying King erupted, making the Heavenly Palace tremble. It resonated with the Dao resonance left by Yaochi's sages of old and nearly reached the Half-Saint level.
Facing that might head-on, the Golden Crow Clan youth's legs began to shake. An icy chill spread from his spine.
"What do you intend to do?"
"You may be the Queen Mother of the West, but you aren't the Queen Mother of the West of old. If you dare make a move, our Great Emperor will descend upon the Big Dipper within days!"
The Golden Crow Clan youth sounded fierce, but his courage was failing.
Beside him, several Golden Crow Clan Saints watched without the slightest panic. After exchanging glances, the oldest-looking cultivator among them rose at his leisure.
Boom!
The Saint King's pressure erupted, smothering the Queen Mother of the West's aura. The entire Heavenly Palace shook, and Five-Colored Jade bricks,
along with jade roof tiles, fell from above in a clattering shower.
*Could the Golden Crow Clan of Huosang Planet really have a Great Emperor?
