Chapter 546 Who is the real owner of the fishpond?

The ruler of the demon realm, Shi Zixuan, actually had a shorter time to achieve Dao than several of the powerful beings present. In fact, if we were to rank them by seniority, some of the people present could be considered her 'seniors'.

However, the cultivation world is never a place where seniority matters; strength ultimately reigns supreme.

Although the Demon Queen has not been in the Dao realm for very long, there is no doubt that she is indeed a monstrous existence.

She possessed the Devouring Demon Body from childhood, capable of devouring everything. There are even rumors that if the Demon Queen were to ascend to immortality one day, she might even be able to devour the Heavenly Dao and make it her own.

This legendary demon emperor's fame had already resounded throughout the demon realm from the moment she began her training.

Moreover, in this very life, she personally destroyed the first Demon Emperor's gold coins and devoured his essence.

His true strength is unfathomable.

In the Nine Provinces, if most powerful beings are unwilling to offend Yu Province because they do not want to be enemies with the only quasi-immortal alchemist in the world, then they are unwilling to offend the Demon Realm because this Demon Emperor's actions are too ruthless.

Even so, people still didn't expect that someone would not even give face to the forbidden place.

And... he even slapped her in front of all these powerful people.

When the crisp sound of the slap landed, the entire main peak was completely silent.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Yao Meng, Gong Lianyue, Ye Lingxuan, and Ye Qingxin were all caught off guard, as the Demon Queen would actually take action directly.

However, despite the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Demon Queen remained calm and composed, as if she had simply done something perfectly ordinary.

This scene can no longer be described as mere arrogance.

It carries a connotation akin to a superior looking down from above with disdain.

For cultivators in the demon realm, especially the rulers of the demon realm, emotions are very direct and straightforward.

Wasn't it because Isis was certain that Dongzhou wouldn't offend the Forbidden Land over such a trivial matter that she kissed Mu Zhian in front of so many people?

This time, Isis didn't come to take Mu Zhi'an away at all; she just wanted to give Yaochi, and even Dongzhou, a warning.

As for the purpose... perhaps it is because the Immortal Forbidden Land is truly about to emerge in this lifetime, and therefore needs to establish its authority.

Those present were not fools; almost everyone guessed Isis's purpose after she made that gesture, which was no less than a provocation.

They never expected that, before the people of Dongzhou could even react, the Demon Realm would jump out first.

And he slapped Isis so decisively.

People didn't know what the consequences of that slap would be, but they only felt an immense sense of satisfaction at that moment.

Isis was certain that Dongzhou wouldn't offend her over such a simple kiss.

However, the Demon Queen seemed certain that Isis would not directly antagonize the Demon Realm because of her slap.

At least on the surface, Isis wouldn't dare do that.

At this moment, you could hear a pin drop.

A deathly silence permeated the main peak until, after an unknown period of time, a sudden uproar arose from the crowd.

The demon queen's slap certainly shocked many people, but what shocked them even more was what she said afterward.

Her man...?

When did Isis ever touch the man of the Demon Queen?

In the end, when did this bewitching empress, who could charm all living beings, ever have a man?

After a brief moment of astonishment, people seemed to realize something and looked at the seemingly harmless boy with somewhat blank stares.

At this moment, one of the servants from the Immortal Forbidden Land who was supporting Isis suddenly raised his head, his face flushed, and roared, "Do you know what you just did?!"

There seemed to be a layer of dark gray runes surrounding his body, a powerful technique from the Immortal Forbidden Land.

Such a being willingly became a servant at Isis's feet, and now, seeing his master humiliated, he was filled with rage.

"If I were you, I would avenge my master's slap even if I died right now," Mu Zhi chuckled, stirring up trouble as if she didn't want the world to be in chaos.

However, at that moment, Isis raised her hand, signaling the servants on both sides to step back.

The woman, who had exuded exotic charm, had lost the calm and composed smile she had worn earlier, and her captivating eyes were now filled with coldness.

"Shi Zixuan, do you really think the demon realm is impregnable, and can even challenge the Immortal Forbidden Land?"

This slap wouldn't hurt her at all.

However, the Demon Queen's slap was a slap in the face to the entire Immortal Forbidden Land!

"Challenge?"

The Demon Queen narrowed her eyes, crossed her arms over her chest, and leisurely circled around Isis, observing her with great interest.

Then, a soft, seductive voice, so alluring it seemed to make the bones of all the men present go numb, rang out on the silent main peak.

"You've touched my man. Are you challenging the Demon Realm, or is the Demon Realm challenging your Immortal Forbidden Land?"

She paused for a moment: "Besides, the Immortal Forbidden Land is nothing more than a relic of an old era that clings to life by attaching itself to the Demon Realm. When exactly did you come to the misconception that the Demon Realm would fear the Forbidden Land?"

Arrogant, alluring, and subtly tinged with disdain.

Even the most powerful ancient beings were enraged upon hearing this. She stared intently at the arrogant ruler of the demon realm, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Fine...fine. I hope you can still say these words in the future."

She abruptly turned to look at Mu Zhi, who was watching the show from the sidelines, and sneered, "Mu Zhi, do you really think that she is only provoking the Immortal Forbidden Land today? This time it was me, but next time, it may be one of you."

The cute and charming little girl sat nonchalantly in the void, swinging her little feet, and said with a smile, "What does this have to do with me? When big brother becomes my toy in the future, I will be a person of Kyushu. The Forbidden Land of Life is not the same kind of thing as you."

Upon hearing this, many cultivators present looked at Mu Zhi'an, the instigator, with extremely strange expressions.

It can be said that today's conflict was caused entirely by this boy... In the past, people said that beautiful women are a source of trouble, but today, it seems that Mu Zhian also deserves this description.

The two forbidden lands that appeared today seem to be here for Mu Zhi'an, plus the forbidden land princess who has always had an ambiguous attitude towards Mu Zhi'an... Three out of the nine forbidden lands have actually set their sights on him?

The people present weren't fools, so they naturally didn't believe that they were fighting so fiercely just because of Mu Zhi'an's talent.

There must be a deeper secret behind this...

Isis clearly didn't intend to bring the Forbidden Zone of Life into her camp with just a few words; she simply glanced at the Demon Queen with a deep chill.

However, upon seeing the other party's arrogant and indifferent demeanor, he felt a surge of anger.

That slap could not leave a mark on her face, but the humiliation could never be erased.

"Eastern Continent and the Demon Realm..."

She repeated it softly in her heart, as if she wanted to remember the humiliation of today.

"Since the forbidden area has no intention of welcoming guests, then I will not presume to stay here."

Isis's gaze lingered on the Demon Queen: "You actually descended into the forbidden zone in your true form. Is it that you are too confident in your strength, or that you are certain that the forbidden zone will not take this opportunity to kill you?"

The Demon Queen smiled faintly and said, "No need for you to trouble yourself."

Her nonchalant demeanor, coupled with an arrogant air that seemed to look down on everyone, was humiliating even to the cultivators present, let alone Isis herself.

She stared at the Demon Queen and said in a serene tone, "I hope you also have the courage to set foot in the Forbidden Land of Immortality."

Finally, Isis's gaze fell directly on Mu Zhi'an, and she smiled, "Whether you like it or not, you will eventually become a member of the Immortal Forbidden Land."

She had made up her mind, whether it was the slap from the Demon Queen today or the sacrifice for the Heavenly Furnace...

Mu Zhian is someone I absolutely must get my hands on.

No matter the cost.

"Just you wait—"

Before the words were finished, a gentle and melodious celestial voice slowly rang out from the main peak.

Have you finished speaking?

As if she had lost patience, or as if she was displeased with the Demon Queen's frantic efforts to win Mu Zhi'an's favor, just as Isis was about to leave the forbidden area, Yao Meng slowly rose from her throne and stepped into the void.

Each step seemed to be accompanied by a tremor in the void, and azure lotus flowers bloomed, dazzlingly beautiful.

"Now that you've finished speaking, are you ready to leave?"

These second sentence made Isis realize something. Her beautiful eyes slowly widened, and she said in a cold voice, "Azure Emperor, do you really intend to be an enemy of the Immortal Forbidden Land?!"

At this moment, the ancient supreme being truly panicked.

Although she was only a clone, she still possessed self-awareness.

If she were to be erased now, her 'spiritual consciousness' would truly cease to exist in this world forever.

Even if the original body were to differentiate into new spiritual consciousness in the future, it would not be this current clone.

"The various forbidden lands have always been law-abiding and have never had any conflict with the Nine Provinces in the past tens of thousands of years. Yaochi also values ​​peace, but that doesn't mean it will let others ride roughshod over it."

"If today's events had nothing to do with me, I would have turned a blind eye."

Yao Meng slowly raised her fingertips.

With sleeves fluttering like sheer gauze, a seed silently fell to the ground.

She inadvertently raised her stunningly beautiful emerald green eyes.

The next moment, a powerful and terrifying pressure swept in like a tsunami, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in, and the entire sky was covered with dark cracks.

A terrifying gale swept across the main peak, and countless runes seemed to flash between heaven and earth.

As the Purifying Seeds transformed into massive, thick vines that surged upwards, almost everyone present felt a chilling fear that emanated from their very souls.

Even Mu Zhi couldn't help but narrow her eyes, and her expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, there was a 'thump' sound, and Isis's face turned deathly pale in an instant. Her legs went weak, and she instinctively sat down on the ground.

Even Isis's true form is only close to the Ascension Realm, let alone this clone, and this isn't even her home turf.

She's too confident.

Or rather, she underestimated Mu Zhi'an's position in the Azure Emperor's heart.
