Here's what happened: Just now, when the Jade Phoenix Empress and the Lord of the Firmament were locked in a fierce battle, the Void Heaven City Lord descended to act as the referee in this unfair duel.
The meaning was clear: to make things difficult. Jade Phoenix Empress, refused to back down, and just as things were about to escalate into a fight... Old Sixth appeared!
They kept saying they wanted the Void Heaven City Lord to give them face! Hurry up and leave?
Everyone was completely bewildered, and the atmosphere froze.
Looking around, who is this? Never seen him before. He's completely oblivious to the current conflict, daring to speak to the Void Heaven City Lord like that—he's either a fool or definitely not simple!
Both sides remained vigilant and observed the situation quietly.
" Devil Ancestor..." Jade Phoenix Empress was the first to react, muttering to herself.
This guy, instead of keeping an eye on the Prison God to cover for Chen Fan, actually came! It was somewhat unexpected, but the Devil Ancestor's appearance might be to her advantage... Xu Tianbaye, you're finished!
He was a bit arrogant, which made Xu Tianbaye give him face...
Xu Tianbaye was extremely displeased; who was talking to him like that?!
His gaze turned serious. He hadn't expected there to be other powerful figures, like the sixth Old Sixth, hidden all around. He had been careless! They were definitely no weaker than him!
Turning his head to look at the figure, "..."
" Devil Ancestor!"
They were stunned, looking as if they'd seen a ghost. Combining what she'd just heard, their first thought was that the helper Jade Phoenix Empress had brought was actually the Devil Ancestor, who had been missing for countless years!
Should I continue fighting or not? It's clearly not an option...
How could the Jade Phoenix Empress have met the Devil Ancestor?! The Chen Lineage, whom their Void Heaven God Clan had been searching for for countless years.
Thinking to myself.
Regardless, we must Jade Phoenix Empress for the unexpected and wonderful surprise! Putting aside the current situation, this is of even greater significance and benefit to the Void Heaven God Clan!
"It's him..." Just as a fight was about to break out, the sudden appearance of the newcomer caused the Lord of the Firmament's expression to change drastically.
The Devil Ancestor! He's not dead, he's still alive and kicking! And letting Xu Tianbaye leave like this clearly means it's against him!
This matter concerns the life-and-death grudge between him and Firmament Ruins; how could he not be worried? But why did the Devil Ancestor suddenly appear and interfere in such a matter?
Could it be an ally that Jade Phoenix Empress found? His heart tightened, and he realized he had been careless! Who knew that Jade Phoenix Empress could find such a powerful figure to deal with Xu Tianbaye?
This was something he hadn't anticipated at all! He had to be on guard no matter what! If all else failed, he would intercept the Devil Ancestor, or let Xu Tianbaye deal with Jade Phoenix Empress...
Meanwhile, in the crowd, the expressions on the faces of Chen Jingjing and Chen Sheng, those two hooligans, became quite interesting...
After Old Devil Chen appeared, he casually glanced around. The Lord of the Firmament couldn't cause any trouble. After all, there were so many of them. Chen Lineage's wife could fight outnumbered, so why take the risk?
Hehe, his mindset has changed too.
" Xu Tianbaye, it's been a long time. Don't you recognize me?"
What are you standing there for! Hurry up and say something! Are you leaving or not?
Upon hearing this...
Xu Tianbaye Ye realized what was happening and laughed, " Devil Ancestor! You're still alive!"
They immediately offered their warm greetings. It was truly an unexpected surprise!
I was so excited and surprised, I was almost moved to tears.
Having completely forgotten everything else, now that the Devil Ancestor has been found, how far is it from finding his wife who is carrying out the Chen Lineage's mission?
We really have to thank Jade Phoenix Empress for sending us the Devil Ancestor. All past grudges are now forgotten, and it doesn't matter anymore!
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the Void Heaven City Lord was acquainted with this Devil Ancestor.
If this was another helper brought in by the Jade Phoenix Empress, then this Devil Ancestor was... specifically there to break up the fight? His expression turned strange for a moment. The situation was a bit complicated.
Upon hearing this, Old Devil Chen's face darkened. "I was merely caught in a minor accident..."
" Devil Ancestor, it's good that you're alive! I've finally found you. Do you know how I've survived all these years!" Xu Tianbaye pleaded bitterly, a complete 180-degree turn.
Where's my wife?! Where did you all go in Chen Lineage Lane?!
He and Old Devil Chen were at roughly the same level of cultivation back then, so they were like old friends.
Old Devil Chen: "..."
It seems that Xu Tianbaye started complaining to him as soon as they met, probably because he wanted someone, but how could he possibly have anyone to offer...?
The two stared at each other for a while, as if they didn't see anyone else.
Jade Phoenix Empress was even more surprised. The Devil Ancestor might have come to help her, but you're telling me you and he are old acquaintances and you're even showing him such concern?
I was stunned.
The situation was different from what she had imagined.
Then consider Chen Fan; he's, after all, a scion of the Lineage behind the Devil Ancestor, so he's not in any serious trouble. Let's just hope this doesn't put the Devil Ancestor in a difficult position and directly tear apart his friendship with Xu Tianbaye Ye...
The Lord of the Firmament was also dumbfounded, never expecting that they were actually old acquaintances!
It seems this is another helper found by Jade Phoenix Empress; otherwise, the Devil Ancestor wouldn't have tried so hard to stop the Xu Tianbaye.
So, are they here to break up a fight?
His eyes flickered. "I wonder what the Devil Ancestor's intention is in intervening in this matter?"
Old Devil Chen very powerful. He was Peak God Emperor countless years ago, but his cultivation level is now difficult to discern, so he must be quite strong.
This seems extremely disadvantageous for him. If you all get to know him... then what am I?
Hearing this, the others were also incredibly curious.
Before Old Devil Chen could respond, Xu Tianbaye coldly said, " Lord of the Firmament, you have overstepped your bounds!"
What right does the Lord of the Firmament have to ask that! Hmph. Besides, it's not even his place to ask.
Then he turned his head and asked, " Devil Ancestor, why have you come here?"
He was also bewildered. The Devil Ancestor's appearance was rather sudden, wasn't it? Was he really here for the Jade Phoenix Empress?
I looked at it from back and forth.
The Lord of the Firmament was incredibly frustrated and uncomfortable, but since he needed their help, he had no choice but to endure it!
In contrast, Jade Phoenix Empress remained silent, because she and the Devil Ancestor were not very familiar with each other.
Now, it all depends on whose side the Devil Ancestor takes: his old friend or Chen Fan? His time to be tested has come! Unless their relationship is exceptionally close, she doesn't believe the Xu Tianbaye would abandon the interests of the entire Void Heaven Ancient City for this reason...
She's definitely not going to give up!
Everyone's thoughts are different because they all hold certain secrets.
Old Devil Chen didn't care or pay attention to the Lord of the Firmament, because he was an enemy, so where could he run to!
Ignore him.
Then he glanced at the Jade Phoenix Empress.
"I have come here, of course, to help the Jade Phoenix Empress..."
He's laying his cards on the table. He's personally taking action, not afraid of being exposed! Because the face that should be given is worthy of Jade Phoenix Empress's, it's just a matter of considering her current cultivation level, strength, and status, especially given this relationship.
As for running into Xu Tianbaye, it was both unexpected and not entirely unexpected, because he already knew. In any case, he wasn't there to acknowledge Xu Tianbaye Ye as a relative or exchange pleasantries; it was just a side trip. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to expose himself and cause trouble.
However, it's quite impressive that that kid managed to snag a Half-Step Creation Realm expert as his wife. Who cares about a large and powerful Lineage? They can even provide a safety net for that kid's clan's development.
This was an unexpected and huge gain for him on his trip—what he overheard...
