I was born a god, the son of the Demon Lord.

"Senior, please spare me! I was blind and offended you. Please, senior, show mercy..."

"Please, senior, have mercy!"

Xu Nanyi ignored the group of weeping ants below. She turned her head, tilted her small face up, and looked at Xu Yuan beside her.

Xu Yuan lowered her eyes and touched the top of her daughter's head.

A hint of admiration flickered in his eyes; the Divine Phoenix bloodline should be like this.

If we tolerate even this slight offense, it would only tarnish the reputation of the Divine Phoenix.

Shen Jiuyuan burst out laughing.

The frustration from being falsely accused of having a child by those idiots was swept away by that crisp "Kneel down."

"As expected of me, Shen..."

He paused for half a second, swallowing the name back, "As expected of my little Nanyi, that was a good whipping. Next time you encounter this kind of gossipy good-for-nothing, don't waste your breath..."

In the end, he swallowed back the bloody words.

Upon hearing these words, the monk in blue closed his eyes in despair.

The old man is arrogant, and the young man is even more arrogant. Where did this family of evil spirits come from?!

Upon hearing these words, the monk in blue closed his eyes in despair.

Shen Jiuyuan was too lazy to say anything more and casually tossed the storage ring downstairs. The ring hit the broken wooden planks in front of the blue-robed cultivator, making a crisp clanging sound.

"The spirit stones here are enough to buy this entire street. Consider these few broken tables and chairs as a reward from me for saving your lives."

After saying that, he took Xu Nanyi and turned to walk towards the stairwell.

They completely ignored the monks who were still kneeling on the ground.

Shen Xizhou, with his short legs, quickly followed beside her, reaching out to grab Xu Nanyi's sleeve.

"Sister, don't be angry. Those people are stupid; they believe rumors. It's not worth your trouble."

Xu Nanyi glanced at her younger brother and then turned her face away.

However, the overwhelming pressure from the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator that had made everyone in the audience feel suffocated eventually subsided.

The monks in the hall were relieved and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, not even having the courage to look up at the family.

On the third-floor corridor.

Wu Qiyue remained with her head tilted back, staring blankly at the small figure being led away by Shen Jiuyuan.

too strong.

Xu Nanyi stood on the railing, holding a long, crimson whip.

A draft blowing in from outside the inn lifted the red ribbon that held her hair up.

On that fiery red dress, the phoenix pattern embroidered with gold thread shimmered in the sunlight, as if it were about to take flight and break through the clouds at any moment.

She was only six and a half years old, and not even as tall as her.

But those slightly upturned phoenix eyes, paired with those sharp, distant mountain-shaped eyebrows, actually gave off the air of an emperor who reigns supreme.

The youthful arrogance of a boy who doesn't know the immensity of the world, and her innate domineering presence that allows one to sit high above the world and look down upon all living beings, exudes an absolute majesty that makes people want to submit to her from the bottom of their bones.

Wu Qiyue's heart was pounding like a drum. She had seen many cultivators, but she had never seen anyone who could blend arrogance and nobility so perfectly.

"Aren't you going to hurry up and catch up?"

A cool, clear voice drifted from ahead.

Wu Qiyue awoke as if from a dream.

Xu Yuan was standing at the corner of the stairs, his indifferent golden eyes quietly watching her.

Wu Qiyue grabbed the back of Xiao Shitou's collar, who was also stunned, and ran away.

"I'm here! Wait for me, seniors!"

The two little ones scrambled after them.

Night falls.

The pearl at the top of the Tower of Babel emitted a faint, cold light, illuminating the night sky for miles around.

As the tallest and most sacred building in the entire city, it has always been heavily guarded.

The tower houses the Celestial Compass, a sacred site where the Celestial Daoist deduced celestial secrets, and countless cultivators regard its divine pronouncements as the ultimate guide.

Tonight, the monks on night duty inside the tower are sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Without any warning.

boom!

The entire Tower of Babel shook violently, and the glazed tiles on the top floor crashed to the ground with a loud crash. The deafening sound of the walls tearing apart woke up most of the cultivators in the city.

"Enemy attack! Activate defensive formation!"

Chaos erupted inside the tower. The night watchman stumbled to the window, looked up, and found that most of his soul and spirit had flown away.

In the night sky, a colossal black dragon, so large it blotted out the sun, coiled above the Tower of Babel.

The dragon claws, thicker than the palace itself, mercilessly stomped on the spire, crushing the priceless pearl into dust.

A section of the entire top of the tower collapsed, and rubble fell like rain.

The golden light shield of the tower protection array had just risen.

The black dragon swung its tail.

boom!

The protective barrier was as fragile as an eggshell, riddled with cracks. Countless cultivators in the city opened their windows, watched the scene, and their legs went weak.

"That's a dragon...!!"

"The Tower of Babel is collapsing!"

Just as the light shield was about to shatter.

"Shen Jiuyuan! You son of a bitch, are you out of your mind?!"

An angry curse came from inside the tower.

Tianxing Daoist, his head covered in dust, soared into the sky and hovered in mid-air.

He wore an extremely flamboyant purple robe, and his long white hair was casually tied into a small braid at the back of his head. He was tightly guarding the celestial compass he used for eating.

Despite possessing the appearance of a refined but depraved gentleman, he was now so angry that his facial features were flying wildly.

"In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, you come and smash my Tower of Babel! If you've been bullied by Xu Yuan, go cool off in the pool instead of causing trouble here!" Tianxing pointed at the black dragon and cursed.

Black Dragon let out a deafening snort.

"Just smash it, stop with the nonsense!"

The rough dragon roar carried an undeniable tyranny, and the dragon claw exerted force once more, causing the tower to creak and groan, and another half-story collapsed.

Tianxing was so angry at this illogical behavior that he laughed.

What did his Tower of Babel do to deserve this? Why did it have to stand here like this and provoke this madman?

Just as he was about to make a hand seal to counterattack, he caught a glimpse of a figure appearing in the void beside him.

Her golden hair and robes were more dazzling than the moonlight in the night.

Tianxing's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior.

"Sister Yuan! You've come at the right time!" Tianxing shouted, "Stop this guy quickly! Deal with him, quickly! This man is crazy, you know that?"
