Han Xuanji offered no explanation.
Su Ming felt a sense of relief, as if he had found his pillar of support.
Although he didn't understand why his senior brother Han wanted him to agree, he made up his mind out of absolute trust in Han Xuanji, and pretended to be deep in thought.
Xuanyuan Po, however, was not in a hurry and waited for Su Ming's response.
As more and more people gathered, a voice filled with anger suddenly rang out.
A figure suddenly appeared and forcefully arrived in front of the group.
Everyone looked over, and someone immediately recognized his identity:
"That prodigy of the Jiang Household... is said to have inherited the legacy of his ancestors. Although his strength is not high, his potential should not be underestimated. He has already replaced the divine son Jiang Lingxiao as the leading figure of the Jiang Household in this generation."
The person who came was Jiang Hao. Upon learning that Su Ming was being harassed, he naturally came over as a good brother.
Both being people of great destiny, Jiang Hao comes from the Jiang Household, a top-tier Aristocratic Clan in the Immortal Domain, and behind him stand several powerful figures from the Jiang Household.
Jiang Hao, unaware of Han Xuanji's plan, assumed Su Ming was being deliberately obstructed and immediately retorted angrily:
"Don't think everyone is afraid of your Human Emperor Palace. If the future Human Emperor is like you, I think the Human Race is doomed!"
These words immediately provoked dissatisfaction among Xuanyuan Po's followers.
Ye Qing, standing beside him, suddenly stepped forward, glaring angrily at Jiang Hao:
"Insolence! How dare you slander the future Human Emperor!"
Xuanyuan Po his hand to stop Ye Qing, his expression remaining calm, but a layer of frost had already settled in his eyes:
"Brother Jiang, what makes you say such a thing? My Xuanyuan Po are none of your business to judge the future of Human Race."
"Just because you allowed your men to force my brothers to take sides!"
Jiang Hao stepped forward, refusing to back down, and said coldly:
"My brother Su Ming clearly did not want to participate, yet you have set up this trap to force me into this situation. How is this any different from abusing your power to bully others?"
Behind him, several powerful members of the Jiang Household silently stepped forward, their auras merging together. Though they did not speak, their stance was clear.
Whispers arose among the onlookers:
"This young master of the Jiang Household is indeed loyal and righteous..."
" Xuanyuan Po's actions were indeed a bit hasty. If the higher-ups of the Human Emperor Palace were to find out, their opinion of him would definitely be lowered."
"Yes, although the Xuanyuan Household is powerful, the Jiang Household is not to be trifled with either. Back then, the Jiang Household fought against the alien races and made great contributions to the Human Race."
Although these whispers were soft, they clearly reached Xuanyuan Po's ears.
His expression remained unchanged, but his fingers tightened slightly inside his sleeve.
Su Ming was anxious and cursed Jiang Hao inwardly for being impulsive and disrupting Senior Brother Han's plans.
But at the same time, a warm feeling flowed through his heart. The fact that Jiang Hao stood up for him at this time was enough to prove that Jiang Hao truly regarded him as a brother, not just a fair-weather friend.
He was about to speak up and smooth things over.
A calm yet undeniable voice rang out:
What's all this commotion about?
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Han Xuanji had been standing quietly to the side at some point, his aura profound and his gaze calmly sweeping across the entire scene.
He especially glanced at Xuanyuan Po.
[ Xuanyuan Po: Perfected Golden Immortal the peak of his cultivation, possessing the Human Emperor Bloodline, the potential of Dao Spirit Root, a disciple of the Daluo, receiving the Holy Emperor Fortune, and successfully cultivating the Xuanyuan Household's supreme Cultivation Method, the " Xuanyuan Ancient Sage Art." He is considered by the Xuanyuan Household to have the potential to become Human Emperor Human Emperor and is one of the nine candidates for the position.]
His background is not simple; it seems this guy holds a high position in the Human Emperor Palace.
Han Xuanji thought about it silently, but didn't feel it was that impressive.
Perfected Golden Immortal is just so-so.
Those whose cultivation level is lower than his should not put any pressure on him.
Throughout his cultivation journey, he has encountered many prodigies, but it seems that no one has yet surpassed his talent.
Although he couldn't compare to those masters who had cultivated for countless years, Han Xuanji felt he had already won far more than the prodigies of this era.
Han Xuanji glanced at it briefly, then looked at Jiang Hao and nodded slightly.
He then cupped his hands in greeting to Xuanyuan Po and said:
"Your Highness, my junior brother is young and impetuous. If he has offended you, please forgive him."
With just a few words, he acknowledged Jiang Hao's kindness and gave Xuanyuan Po way out, subtly easing the tense atmosphere.
Strangely enough, Han Xuanji's cultivation level was only at the Late-Stage Mystic Immortal, but as soon as he appeared, the tense atmosphere quietly eased.
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Han Xuanji appear and secretly withdrew.
Xuanyuan Po loosened his clenched hands, gave Han Xuanji a deep look, and said:
"So it's Dao Child from the Heavenly Palace! My apologies, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Xuanyuan Po couldn't quite fathom Han Xuanji's true strength until he heard the voice of a protector in his ear, at which point he understood.
"Your Highness, this young man is no Tongtian. Don't be fooled by his apparent cultivation level of only Mystic Immortal. According to our ancestor, he possesses the High Antiquity Double Pupils and astonishing talent. In reality, he has already stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm realm, ranking among the top prodigies in the Daluo Heaven. The Spirit Void Heavenly Palace has always concealed his talent, which is why it remains unknown to the outside world. If we could gain his support, it would be of great benefit."
No wonder.
Xuanyuan Po thought to himself.
He could tell that Su Ming and Jiang Hao both had immense faith in Han Xuanji. If he could get their support, wouldn't he be making a huge profit?
In fact, among the two Human Emperor Candidate in the Human Emperor Palace, Chu Wuya's popularity among outsiders was no less than his. He was favored by many high-ranking members of the Human Emperor Palace Human Emperor Palace because of his background, and his cultivation was also higher. However, the other party was equally talented and had the demeanor of a wise ruler who treated scholars with respect and was on good terms with many Human Race.
Moreover, there has been a long-standing tradition that no clan can produce two emperors. The Xuanyuan Household has already produced one Human Emperor; how could they possibly produce another?
Therefore, Xuanyuan Po was eager to expand his influence in order to win in subsequent struggles.
He also wanted to prove himself and dispel this rumor.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Po decided to win over Han Xuanji and secretly transmitted his voice:
"Brother Han, I truly have no ill intentions towards you. This banquet hosted by the Human Emperor Hall is an fortuitous opportunity for you."
Do you know the Ancient Road of Trials?
Xuanyuan Po's voice rang in Han Xuanji's mind, his tone carrying just the right amount of sincerity and a desire to win him over.
Han Xuanji's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied telepathically:
"Have no idea."
With so many powerful forces in the world, how could he possibly know everything?
"Cough cough."
Upon seeing Han Xuanji's response, Xuanyuan Po was overjoyed and immediately explained:
"Brother Han, you may not know this, but this Ancient Road of Trials is no ordinary place. It is not only a place to hone oneself and verify the Great Dao, but also related to the qualification to enter the core area of the Human Emperor Hall!"
He paused slightly, observing Han Xuanji's reaction, and continued:
"If one performs exceptionally well on the ancient road, gains its recognition, and condenses enough ' Human Dao Fortune Mark,' a portal will open deep within the Ancient Road of Trials, leading to the core of the Human Emperor Hall."
There, one can find the legacy of past Human Emperor and even access the teachings of powerful Human Race throughout history!
" The Human Dao Fortune Mark, passed down through Human Race?"
Han Xuanji showed a hint of interest.
This definitely touched on a blind spot in his knowledge; this place sounded very impressive.
As the protagonist of the Heavenly Dao, the Human Race has gone through countless years, and countless powerful figures have emerged. Each of these people left behind something, which is enough to be a huge fortune.
Thinking of this, Han Xuanji was tempted.
