Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 913: Two Pointless Hostages!

"Young Dragon Consort!"

When that figure in white reappeared behind Shen Nanyin's graceful nine-foot form, those who saw it were either terrified or wide-eyed in disbelief.

Yesterday's humiliation was mostly hearsay; few had witnessed it firsthand. The rumors were wild, saying the celestial slave had repeatedly brought unimaginable humiliation.

And now, was round two about to happen?

So, the more the people of the Dragon Devil Clan watched, the more furious and aggrieved they became.

For ordinary folks, unconcerned with the Heavenly Deity Stellar River's struggle for supremacy, the spectacle and excitement naturally took precedence.

"Hasn't the Young Dragon Lord learned his lesson? He still lets the Young Dragon Consort act as a live target, letting others publicly use her for target practice?"

"Don't even mention target practice—the eunuch has no arrows in his quiver; he can't shoot. Besides... what do you know? Who would have expected this celestial slave to be so much stronger than yesterday? If he'd been this strong then, he might've wiped out the Young Dragon Lord on the spot; there'd be no need to seize the Young Dragon Consort!"

In no time, though Yun Xiao hadn't done anything yet, both the battlefield and the Million Starlight Palace were in an uproar.

Especially in the Million Starlight Palace, news of Yun Xiao's strength and his recapturing of the Young Dragon Consort stirred a frenzied wave, leaving countless millions gaping and breathless. Peculiar glances shifted toward the powerful figures of the Dragon Devil Clan.

As for the Golden Dragon Emperor, Gong Tianjian, and the others, their faces couldn't have been more sullen. All their previous confidence had now turned into filth on their faces, reeking unbearably.

Defeat was a disgrace, and with the Young Dragon Consort captured again, would there be an even greater humiliation soon?

As the masses trembled at Yun Xiao's might, they all widened their eyes, staring at the screen, afraid to miss any pivotal moment.

Of course, the twice-disgraced Long Hao was another focus of the entire crowd.

Just as Long Hao used his tribulation power to burn away the ice and frost on his body, enduring the stinging pain of his wounds and barely regaining his senses, he saw that nightmare-like youth appear before him again.

Gripping Shen Nanyin's snow-white neck, the youth forced her to lift her chin high, her body convulsing and suffocating as she looked at him, tears streaming down.

Even though the youth behind her appeared to be a mere child with an innocent face, the oppressive aura he exuded had already plunged Shen Nanyin into despair.

The nightmare was happening all over again!

"Long Hao!"

Before Long Hao could speak, the blood-haired Long Kun beside him, eyes bloodshot, suddenly grabbed his shoulder and gritted his teeth. "That damned eunuch must've been forcibly created by those Three Divas using some forbidden technique—his strength defies all logic! Fortunately, there's only one of him. We clearly have the advantage in numbers, but confronting him head-on here is utterly meaningless!"

"You!" Long Hao glared, his eyes ablaze.

Long Kun lowered his voice, annoyed. "At a time like this, do we still need to care about the humiliation of Shen Nanyin? If we let this kid ruin our ambush again, we'll fail our mission to prevent the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm from entering the top ten—that is our most crucial task!

"Now, listen to me. We'll ignore everything else. A battle is about to erupt over at the Extreme Yin Star. Let's focus on combining our forces, destroying the Extreme Yin Star, and seizing their Parent Flag. Then, we'll finally complete our historic mission. Nothing else matters!"

Long Kun had come to his senses. He hadn't been worried about failing the mission before. But now he realized there was indeed a risk of failure.

The Southern Divine Dragon Realm entering the Heavenly Deity Alliance was of paramount importance. It had seemed easy before, but now there was a chance of failure. In the face of this historic mission, who still cared about Shen Nanyin?

"Hah...!"

Long Hao and Long Kun didn't cast a single glance toward Shen Nanyin and Shi Feifei, fearing that witnessing a scene infuriating enough to make them spit blood would shake their resolve and dao hearts.

With Zhao Canglan and Yun Lingchen staying behind, the main force advanced to carry out the Alliance Army's ultimate mission, thwarting Yun Xiao's scheme to delay them. Although some wished to stay and watch the spectacle, the greater task took precedence, so they followed the two Young Dragon Lords onward.

Though they moved sluggishly, casting glances back every few steps, at least they were moving.

As the encirclement withdrew, soon only Yun Xiao, Zhao Canglan, Yun Lingchen, and the two nine-foot-tall Young Dragon Consorts remained.

The two super geniuses of the Elysian Immortal Palace clearly hadn't conceded—especially Yun Lingchen, who still held herself with great poise.

At this moment, the fair-skinned girl in a pale pink dress hovered before Yun Xiao and the two Young Dragon Consorts. Her beautiful eyes brimmed with freshly kindled loathing.

"Yun Xiao, you were once a man. Even if you've become a celestial slave, can't you hold onto some dignity befitting a true man? If you still know shame, release the two Young Dragon Consorts. I will face you honorably in a duel to the death." Yun Lingchen bit her lip. Her pretty face was flushed with anger; she was clearly furious.

After all, the two Young Dragon Consorts looked so terrified and pitiful. Being a woman, she naturally felt their humiliation. It was like watching a white swan being sullied by a warty toad.

"Release them?" Yun Xiao moved. The nine-headed dragon tightened its coils, violet mist rising as it burned around the two consorts, making them tremble even more.

"Don't waste your words on him. He won't..." Zhao Canglan began.

In truth, Zhao Canglan already knew the two Young Dragon Lords had abandoned their women. Nothing compared to the importance of the Southern Divine Dragon Realm entering the Heavenly Deity Alliance. He was mentally prepared that in a real fight, they couldn't care about the lives of these two consorts.

However, just as Zhao Canglan was halfway through his sentence, Yun Xiao glanced at the retreating Alliance Army, loosened his grip, and said, "Fine, I'll heed your words and release them."

At this, the other four thought they must have misheard.

"What?"

Shen Nanyin and Shi Feifei felt the pressure lift. They looked down and saw that Yun Xiao's terrifying Life Sigil had vanished.

They stood there, stunned, until Yun Xiao pushed them aside, sending them flying.

After being freed, they didn't immediately think to run toward Long Hao and Long Kun but stood nearby on shaky legs, utterly unable to fathom Yun Xiao's logic.

That was until they saw Yun Xiao charge straight at Yun Lingchen!

"His target is her!" Shi Feifei gasped, her face turning pale.

"She’s 100 times more valuable than we are..." Shen Nanyin shuddered, her hair standing on end.

They were so anxious about Yun Lingchen that they forgot to flee, clenching their fists as cold sweat trickled down their skin.

Even they realized it immediately; naturally, Zhao Canglan and Yun Lingchen understood Yun Xiao's true intent even earlier.

"Shameless scoundrel!" Yun Lingchen was such a pure girl, like a lotus blossoming untouched in clear water. No one had ever approached her with such aggressive intent!

She bit her lip, fuming with anger. The two Coronas above her head flashed brilliantly, making her look almost playfully adorable.

But Zhao Canglan was truly enraged!
