In the main hall of the Dongfang Clan:
Seeing that Dongfang Lie did not respond, the group of Quasi-Emperor, led by the Zhou Clan family patriarch of Sanhe Island, became even more unscrupulous.
Their words became increasingly unrestrained, even including some vulgar language, reaching the extreme of arrogance and domineering!
Some of the elders of the Dongfang Clan were trembling with rage, their auras rising subtly, already unable to restrain themselves from making a move.
"Enough!"
Dongfang Lie could no longer bear it and roared in fury:
"I think you bunch of scum don't want to live today!"
"My Dongfang Clan inherits the glory of the ancient divine dynasty of the Myriad Dharma Dao Domain, and is a descendant of Half-Step Heavenly Lord, and the former ruler of the Southern Continent!"
"Since when did you bunch of trash start daring to act so arrogantly towards us?"
As he spoke, he took a step forward, and a powerful and domineering aura soared into the sky, unleashing the pressure of Peak Quasi-Emperor.
"This..."
The black-robed elder and other Quasi-Emperor immediately changed their expressions slightly and couldn't help but take half a step back.
But there was little panic in their eyes; instead, a triumphant smile appeared on their faces.
"Good!"
The patriarch of the Zhou Clan on Sanhe Island shouted:
"I never imagined that the Dongfang Clan would be so domineering, utterly disregarding reason and even resorting to murder to silence witnesses!"
"Since that's the case, then don't blame us for bringing in someone else to uphold justice for us!"
As soon as he finished speaking:
A vast and majestic aura rose from not far away, causing the protective formation of the entire Parasol Tree Island to tremble slightly.
Beyond Parasol Tree Island--
A deep, resonant voice, penetrating through layers of magical array light, entered the main hall:
" Yang Zhengang from Spirit Communication Island has come to pay a visit!"
"We humbly request that Your Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable, grant us an audience!"
The sound echoed out, immediately causing Dongfang Lie and the others to change their expressions.
" Yang Zhengang! The Spirit Communication Island! The ' Great Emperor Linggan '!"
Spirit Communication Island is the powerful force behind the scenes that has been supporting the small Lineage and sects like the Zhou Clan Sanhe Island in causing trouble.
Looking back now --
This Great Emperor Linggan had long been hiding outside Parasol Tree Island, evading the detection of the array and the Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable's senses, waiting for his opportunity to strike.
Now that the Zhou Clan patriarch of Sanhe Island has given the signal, he immediately appeared to "uphold justice."
"Oh no!"
Dongfang Lie's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart sank:
"Isn't this Great Emperor Linggan always supporting these good-for-nothings from behind the scenes, never getting involved himself?"
"Could it be... that this time, Spirit Communication Island has finally made up its mind to personally force the Dongfang Clan to abdicate?"
At this thought, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
This Great Emperor Linggan is renowned throughout the Boundless Sea. He is a veteran Middle Emperor Venerable expert, and it is said that he is not far from reaching the Late Emperor Venerable.
Not to mention, on the Spirit Communication Island under his command, there are four Emperor Venerable at the Early Realm of Creation, who are at his beck and call.
Such formidable strength was simply beyond the capabilities of the Dongfang Clan of Parasol Tree Island to resist.
" The Great Emperor Linggan has actually come in person..."
What should we do now?
"Where is the Ancestor? Someone quickly go and inform the Ancestor!"
Not only Dongfang Lie, but also many other elders of the Dongfang Clan were thrown into a panic.
It wasn't that they lacked the ability to calm their minds, but rather that the Great Emperor Linggan's fame was too overwhelming; they didn't even have the right to look up to him!
"Why..."
At the critical moment, a faint sigh echoed throughout Parasol Tree Island:
"Brother Yang, you've come from afar, please come inside for a chat."
As soon as he finished speaking:
The array formations inside and outside Parasol Tree Island were suddenly opened, creating a passageway and opening the gates wide.
Since the decline of the Dongfang Clan, many of its powerful formations have long been unable to be maintained. Even with the current grand formation, it is simply no match for Great Emperor Linggan.
"Hahaha..."
A deep, resonant laugh echoed through the air:
" The Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable is indeed straightforward; my personal trip was not in vain."
Before the laughter had completely subsided, wisps of pale blue light condensed into a majestic figure in the main hall of Parasol Tree Island.
Dongfang Lie subconsciously looked over and saw a tall, imposing, silver-haired old man with his hands behind his back, looking at the various furnishings and arrangements in the main hall with great interest.
That look in his eyes—like someone appraising their own possession—was filled with undisguised possessiveness.
"This Yang Zhengang..."
Dongfang Lie felt aggrieved, but dared not look directly at the Great Emperor Linggan, and could only lower his head.
Amidst the shimmering white light, a graceful goddess veiled in jade white appeared in the main hall:
" The Great Emperor Linggan graces my humble abode, bringing great honor to my Parasol Tree Island."
The Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable's voice, clear and melodious like pearls falling onto a golden plate, bowed deeply to the Great Emperor Linggan of Inspiration.
"This humble woman, with her jade-like Jade Face, greets the Great Emperor Linggan."
"Greetings, Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable."
The Great Emperor Linggan returned the greeting and said leisurely:
"Why don't we move over and have a detailed discussion?"
The Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable gazed at him, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said:
"No need."
"Since this involves our two families, there's no need to avoid these juniors. Great Emperor Linggan, please speak frankly."
She was perfectly clear about the Great Emperor Linggan of Yang Zhengang's visit.
Millions of years ago:
The Dongfang Clan once occupied a significant portion of the Southern Continent, dominating the Chuanming Dao Domain. All other forces submitted to them, making them the true rulers of the Southern Continent.
As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Despite the constant internal strife and decline of the Dongfang Clan, there are still many Emperor Venerable- level forces that covet their vast collections and rich treasures.
However, the Dongfang Clan had produced a Half-Step Heavenly Lord, possessing profound resources that made outsiders quite wary and hesitant to act rashly.
After all, no one knows what unknown cards they might be hiding.
For example, this Great Emperor Linggan has used various overt and covert methods over the centuries to repeatedly test the Eastern Clan, including supporting pawns such as the Zhou Clan of Sanhe Island, to wear down the Dongfang Clan's patience and provoke them to take action.
After round after round of probing:
The intimidating facade of the Dongfang Clan was gradually being exposed, and the Great Emperor Linggan was finally convinced that the Dongfang Clan had fallen to its lowest point and that he could make his move!
He came here to deliver an ultimatum!
The Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable could only accept this helplessly—because they truly had no trump cards left and were no match for the powerful Spirit Communication Island.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have placed all her hopes on Dongfang Jinglong.
"... very good."
The Great Emperor Linggan understood the Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable's thoughts, a slight smile playing on his lips, and slowly said:
"I came here this time after receiving a message from Brother Zhou of Sanhe Island. Originally, it was for..."
He spoke at length, his words clearly biased, accusing the Dongfang Clan of being arrogant and domineering.
He, on the other hand, positioned himself as an arbitrator, high and mighty.
"Damn it..."
Dongfang Lie and the many elders were trembling with rage, their fists clenched tightly, yet they dared not lash out, feeling extremely aggrieved.
The Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable remained calm throughout, seemingly unconcerned about the Great Emperor Linggan's attitude.
After he finished speaking:
" The Great Emperor Linggan."
The Jade Face Lady then slowly spoke, saying calmly:
"So, according to you, how should this matter be resolved?"
