"Are you willing to marry Zhou Peng? If so, I will spare everyone in the Guanghan Palace, but Guanghan Palace must become an affiliated force of the Star-Shattering Sect." The middle-aged man looked at Qin Zixuan and said calmly.
If he could get Qin Zixuan to agree peacefully, that would be best. But if Qin Zixuan would rather die than agree, then he would use a secret technique to control her, so that she would not betray him, and then directly destroy the entire Guanghan Palace.
Qin Zixuan's beautiful face was now completely bloodless, as pale as paper. Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging into her flesh, and blood was flowing down her fingers, but she was completely unaware of it.
Granny An's expression was not good, somewhat gloomy. After a brief moment of contemplation, she said, "Senior..."
"Did I tell you to speak?" The middle-aged man's voice boomed like thunder, shaking the heavens and earth, filled with boundless power. Granny An was so shocked that she vomited blood repeatedly, and her face grew increasingly pale.
"Kneel down!" The middle-aged man stared at Granny An with an icy expression. A powerful pressure crashed down on her, and Granny An felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her. Unable to resist, her legs buckled, and she knelt in the air.
"Ancestor!"
The people from the Guanghan Palace roared, their faces filled with worry and utter shock. The middle-aged man was incredibly strong; Granny An was no match for him at all. This man was at least Immortal Sovereign, and High-Stage Immortal Sovereign at that. What merit did Zhou Peng possess to have a High-Stage Immortal Sovereign secretly protecting him?
"Stop right now!" An Chuxin roared in fury, her whole body radiating murderous intent. Then, wielding her long sword, she charged straight at the middle-aged man, the Sword-Ray soaring into the sky, tearing apart heaven and earth.
"Insolence!" the middle-aged man roared, his eyes flashing with cold light. He raised his hand and unleashed a terrifying force, like a raging river.

An Chuxin's Sword Intent shattered the moment it came into contact with that power. She coughed up blood, and her body flew backward like a broken kite, finally crashing heavily to the ground and creating a crater more than a hundred feet deep.
" Granny An! Sect Leader An!" Qin Zixuan cried out in anguish. Since she came to the Guanghan Palace, Granny An and An Chuxin had always treated her like family, caring for her at all times and never blaming her. Therefore, she also regarded the two as family. Now that her family had been humiliated like this, she was heartbroken and in excruciating pain.
Zhou Peng sneered, "You filthy bitch, where did your arrogance go? What happened? I'll bring you back later and see how I toy with you." He licked his lips, his lewdness undisguised.
The people from the Guanghan Palace stared intently at the middle-aged man, their eyes bloodshot and filled with intense killing intent, wishing they could kill him immediately.
"Hmph, a bunch of ants dare to look at me like that? They're asking for death!" Enraged, the middle-aged man waved his sleeve again, unleashing a devastating force that swept across the land.
How could the people of the Guanghan Palace possibly withstand the attack of a Immortal Sovereign? Without any resistance, they were swept away by this force, and some of the weaker ones died on the spot. Screams echoed continuously, and all the people of the Guanghan Palace looked extremely painful as their physical bodies gradually collapsed.
Qin Zixuan was struck dumb by what she saw; her face turned deathly pale and her body trembled.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, glancing at Qin Zixuan with a hint of impatience in his eyes. At that moment, Qin Yao suddenly appeared in front of Qin Zixuan, her gaze fixed on the middle-aged man with a resolute look.
"Fine, fine, since you all want to die, I'll grant your wish!" The middle-aged man laughed in anger. These ants had repeatedly offended his authority, which had thoroughly enraged him.
In an instant, the world changed color, and a terrifying power, as if from the abyss, erupted from the middle-aged man's body like a raging tsunami, sweeping in all directions.
Everyone in the arena was shocked, gasping in shock, their bodies trembling instinctively as they stared in terror at the godlike middle-aged man. Was this a Immortal Sovereign Realm expert? He was indeed powerful; before him, they couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.
"Enough!" Qin Zixuan suddenly said, closing her eyes and slowly saying, "Spare Guanghan Palace, and I'll agree to marry him."
After she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face. Her heart ached as if stabbed by Ten Thousand Swords, the pain making it hard for her to breathe. She swayed precariously in the cold wind, as if she might collapse at any moment.
At that moment, a figure flashed into her mind. He was dressed in white, and his appearance was the most handsome she had ever seen, without exception. He had a straight nose, a face like a meticulously sculpted work of art, and fair skin that appeared gentle and warm against the backdrop of white.
She recalled the scene of their first meeting. It was at a hot spring, with misty steam filling the air, like a dream. They spent an unforgettable night there. Unfortunately, he said he wouldn't take responsibility for her. She thought he was just joking, but who knew he was serious.
Qin Zixuan gave a bitter smile, a smile filled with sorrow and despair.
The middle-aged man's expression was indifferent, and he withdrew his powerful aura. Everyone present immediately felt as if they had escaped a disaster. Even though this was a glacier, with snow everywhere and the temperature below zero, their robes were still soaked with cold sweat.
"Senior, I want her too!" Zhou Peng grinned, pointed at Qin Yao, and his eyes kept wandering over her.
The middle-aged man frowned and glanced at Qin Yao.
Qin Yao's face paled, she bit her red lips, clenched her fists, and her body trembled slightly.
"No!" Qin Zixuan, who was still immersed in pain, immediately snapped out of it, her eyes red, and gritted her teeth, saying, "I've already promised you. If you continue to pressure my sister, then kill us all!"
Her eyes were filled with madness. Qin Yao was her sister, and she couldn't let her fall into the same abyss.
"Sister..." Qin Yao's voice was hoarse, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with endless sorrow and pain.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zixuan's clenched fists gradually loosened, and she smiled sweetly at Qin Yao. This smile was partly due to her happiness that Qin Yao wouldn't have to fall into darkness like her, and partly due to her sorrow for her own future.
"Senior!" Zhou Peng exclaimed anxiously, because he genuinely wanted to take both women as his concubines.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and calmly said, "That's about enough."
Zhou Peng's heart sank, but he could only accept it, "Yes."
The middle-aged man's gaze fell on Qin Zixuan. "Let's go."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back, turned around, and left.
The people from the Star-Shattering Sect followed behind.
