Chapter 1437: Celestial Kings
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I, Chang Duangeng, pay my respects to every Senior here!”
The Master of the Chang Family trembled all over and immediately led many of the Chang Family members to step forward and welcome the Celestial Kings. They bowed and bent their knees.
The status of this Master of the Dark Shadow PaG.o.da Sect who was a True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven was exceedingly outstanding.
However, before these Celestial Kings, his status and strength were worthless. Furthermore, he was very willing to humble himself to a very low level.
Wherever one was, strength was everything.
Many of the Cultivators present didn’t feel the slightest contempt or surprise at the behavior and att.i.tude change displayed by the Master of the Chang Family. They even felt somewhat envious.
After all, not everyone was ent.i.tled to speak in front of the Celestial Kings.
For example, other than the Master of the Chang Family who dared to announce his own name, the rest of the members of the Chang Family could only bow their heads and kneel on the ground as they shouted to pay their respects to the Seniors. But they didn’t dare mention their own names. Because they weren’t ent.i.tled to do so.
“Chang Duangeng?” At this time, the head of the Celestial Kings frowned, and his sharp gaze swept toward the Master of the Chang Family.
The Master of the Chang Family s.h.i.+vered instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He rushed to knock his head to the ground.
“Please forgive me, Senior! I, Junior, was momentarily careless and the Drug G.o.d was captured by an evil man. I’m guilty of a terrible crime and implore all the Seniors to give me, your Junior, a chance to redress it.” He was extremely terrified and yelled in a trembling voice.
Because the person who’d opened his mouth and spoke to him was the Ancestral Celestial King of the Divine Farmer Clan.
This particular Celestial King appeared to be very old. His figure was thin, but his vigor was boundless. A head of white hair flickered brilliantly like 1,000 shoots of silver needles. Any one of the strands could kill everything.
Behind this Celestial King, there were nine others who were just as powerful as he was.
There were five men and four women. Among them were a man and a woman who appeared to be extremely young. They looked like they were only in their 20s.
Another man and woman appeared middle-aged, while the remaining three men and two women were old people, similar to the ancestor from the Divine Farmer Clan.
However, in terms of vigor and strength, these ten people were probably equal to Zixia Fairy.
In such a situation, if these ten people were to join forces, Zixia Fairy certainly wouldn’t have the power to retaliate.
This was the situation that Mo Junchen and the others could judge at a glance. They looked grim at this moment and felt extremely heavy in their hearts.
“To redress it? What gives you the right to talk to your King about redress?” the Celestial King of the Divine Farmer Clan asked coldly.
BANG!
The Master of the Chang Family immediately knocked his head hard on the ground and said in a loud voice, “I, your Junior, am willing to be punished in any way the Seniors see fit.”
“Punish you?”
The Celestial King of the Divine Farmer Clan laughed coldly. His eyes were full of sarcasm and contempt as he imperceptibly shook his head and said, “You are far from being qualified. Your King will wait to see how the two old things in your Dark Shadow PaG.o.da Sect will account for this to your King. As for now, those people who acted recklessly are the ones that your King wants to personally dispose of.”
Speaking of which, the Celestial King of the Divine Farmer Clan immediately cast his eyes toward Xu Que.
But, the next moment, that Celestial King, as well as the nine other Celestial Kings by his side, all slightly frowned.
“A Celestial King of our generation?” One of them spoke and stared straight at Zixia Fairy.
Zixia Fairy had remained expressionless and stood in place with a look of indifference. She actually had an imposing manner of dominance and returned the gazes of the ten Celestial Kings.
“D*mn, my Xuan’er is fierce. It proves that nurture determines a person’s character. She has learned my imposing manner so quickly,” Xu Que exclaimed in surprise.
He could basically ascertain Zixia Fairy’s strength. Her chances of winning in a one-to-one fight were high, but if she had to go against ten Celestial Kings joining forces at the same time, the odds of a victory were almost zero.
But even so, she didn’t back down. She came across as powerful.
Such power was true confidence and aloofness that were bred in her bones. She simply didn’t attach any importance to these Celestial Kings. It was completely false bravado.
“You know nothing. If my grand master merges with her Taoist Body, it will restore her power to its peak. Not to mention these ten Celestial Kings, even if it happened to be Xuanyuan Wanrong, she would also be afraid of the consequences to a certain degree,” Duan Jiude immediately showed off with a smug face, as if he were tooting his own horn.
Xu Que was taken aback. “What did he mean by those words?”
“Zixia Fairy with her Celestial King cultivation stage is not even her real strength?”
“She also owns a Taoist Body? And she can merge them?”
“How…could it be?”
Xu Que’s mouth was agape as he looked, flabbergasted, at Zixia Fairy.
However, before he could ask anything further, the figures of those ten Celestial Kings had already flashed and appeared in front of Xu Que and the others at a distance of only a few yards away.
Even Xu Que couldn’t react in time to such amazing speed.
His face suddenly changed, and he almost threw out his trump card directly.
Fortunately, these ten Celestial Kings didn’t make a move, so Xu Que restrained his impulse. But he still had lingering fears.
He had underestimated the strength of the Celestial King cultivation stage. If Zixia Fairy had not been here, perhaps he would’ve already been obliterated in the face-to-face encounter just now.
The person had already been killed. It would’ve been useless even if he had set up more plots and traps in advance.
“This fellow cultivator doesn’t seem to be of our generation. Care to share which Celestial Emperor period you come from?” The young-looking Celestial King looked at Zixia Fairy and inquired gently.
“The Final Generation of the Infant Period,” Zixia Fairy replied in an indifferent way, using a phrase that Xu Que had never heard of before.
The ten Celestial Kings’ faces changed.
“The Final Generation of the Infant Period was 3,000 years before us!”
“That’s interesting. It looks as if the people who came from this time were from more than two periods of eras.”
“Fellow cultivator, since we’re all people of the Celestial Emperor age, how can you condone the younger generation’s acting like this? You’ve already violated the treaty we originally laid down. According to reason, we have a good enough basis to join forces to execute you,” the young male Celestial King said with a smile.
That might’ve been the case, but the ten people still seemed to have no intention of making a move as if they were waiting for something.
This was very strange. It seemed as if they were secure in the knowledge that they had backing and yet they were slightly afraid of the consequences.
“A treaty? What kind of treaty do you have? Spit it out and let Your Holiness have a listen,” b.u.t.tface asked curiously.
However, no Celestial King was even willing to acknowledge him. Even Zixia Fairy remained silent. It wasn’t clear if she was aware of what the so-called treaty said.
“Fellow cultivator, you haven’t said a word. Is it because you don’t wish to explain or because you have no right to respond?” At this time, the young female Celestial King spoke with a laugh.
Her facial features were delicate and pretty, and she had extraordinary manners like a fairy who has placed herself above the common populace, a pure and innocent lotus flower!
“Why are you beating around the bush? I don’t have the patience to waste my breath any longer,” suddenly, the Celestial King of the Divine Farmer Clan opened his mouth.
He showed a look of impatience and his eyes scanned the territory all around as he growled deeply, “Grand master of the Exploding Heavens Faction, you know what’s going on with this matter, so please step forward and give us a reasonable breakdown. Otherwise, you’ll be the first person to destroy the treaty of the Celestial Emperors.”
