The Sunset Emperor's face darkened until it looked ready to drip water. His body trembled slightly; clearly, his fury had reached its peak.
The Immortal Lord Jiuyue had casually sent flying was a respected prince of the Sunset Empire's royal family, a man at the peak of the Sixth Step!
And a young woman had slapped him aside as though it were nothing?
It was a slap in the Sunset Empire's face before everyone!
How would the powerful figures of the All Heavens look upon the Sunset Empire after this?
"How dare you!"
Before the Sunset Emperor could speak, the sinister-faced imperial preceptor behind him stepped forward. The crushing pressure of a Ninth-Step Immortal Lord bore down on Jiuyue like a tidal wave made solid!
He was the Sunset Imperial Preceptor, guardian of the empire. While expanding its borders, he had slaughtered half the living beings in an Immortal Domain. His murderous aura had nearly congealed into a cloud of blood.

A vicious gleam filled his eyes. Killing Intent boiled around him, striking terror into all who saw it!
"Too loud."
Facing the imperial preceptor's overwhelming might, Jiuyue's expression did not change. She remained cold beyond compare.
Boom!
Two invisible waves of force collided fiercely in midair, erupting with a dull blast like thunder!
As the shockwaves rolled outward, some of the weaker Immortal Lords at the edge of the Myriad Immortals Banquet turned pale, and cups and plates trembled.
"What? Her presence actually overpowered the Ninth-Step Immortal Lord Sunset Imperial Preceptor?"
Nanmen Jue's eyes widened. Horror covered his face; he could hardly believe it.
The Sunset Imperial Preceptor was a veteran Ninth-Step Overlord, famed throughout the world for his ferocity in battle!!!
Yet Jiuyue could stand against
