A voice echoed, causing everyone's bodies to tremble violently, revealing extreme shock and terror. "You truly have great courage to harm someone from my Piao Miao Palace. Do you really think my Piao Miao Palace is easy to bully?" In the void, a shadowy figure appeared. She was graceful, stepping forward and slowly revealing herself to everyone, as if appearing out of thin air.
This was an extraordinarily beautiful woman, elegant and graceful, resembling a deity, radiating a dazzling light. In front of her, everyone felt small, like a ugly duckling facing a swan, a feeling of divine beings wanting to kneel before her surged within everyone’s hearts.
“Gulp!” The Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor’s throat moved slightly, his eyes filled with fear and shock, while Lou Zimo and the others also looked grim, as if they had seen a ghost. No one noticed that Qin Chen's body shook, revealing a bitter expression; he felt an inexplicable heaviness in his heart.
The leader of the Illusion Demon Sect also trembled slightly, staring at Shangguan Xi'er with eyes that shot forth sharp light, but soon, this fierce light dimmed, becoming dull. "Shangguan Xi'er." The Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor spoke bitterly, his heart heavy.
This was a name that seemed to possess magical power, sending shivers down everyone’s spine, leaving their hearts feeling unprecedentedly heavy. “She is Shangguan Xi'er?” Gong Sun Zhe, Zhai Xiangming, and others, although they held great power in Thunder City, towering figures in the Martial Domain’s Second Heavenly Level, felt their momentum diminish in front of Shangguan Xi'er, like quails before a peacock.
This was only because, despite their high status, they were merely in Thunder City, even if larger, it would only be in Leizhou, enjoying freedom in the Martial Domain’s Second Heavenly Level at most. And what about Shangguan Xi'er? She bore the title of the strongest person in the continent, the first force in the continent.
The strongest person in the continent! What a dazzling title this was, and throughout history, few have attained such recognition. It was a kind of pressure, and also a form of acknowledgment. It was based on strength gained through battle! A hundred years ago, during the battle at the Celestial Sacred Pool, Shangguan Xi'er overwhelmed the top experts of the seven major forces, solidifying her identity as the strongest, and now, a hundred years later, no one knew just how strong she had become.
“Shangguan Xi'er, your Piao Miao Palace colludes with the alien race, a grievous crime. If you turn back now, it can still be considered as having realized your mistake; how can you continue to be stubborn?” The Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor stared at Shangguan Xi'er, sternly questioning, with a vigilant expression. The others also looked solemn, as if facing a great enemy.
“The strongest person in the continent? Hiss, is she really that terrifying?” Some Martial Gods who had barely survived gasped in shock at this scene. Shangguan Xi'er was just one person, yet her mere presence managed to intimidate so many top experts from the continent’s strongest forces. It was almost mythical.
“Stubborn?” Shangguan Xi'er laughed, stepping forward and directly walking towards the iron pillar in the center of the great hall, ignoring everyone present.
“Stop! Take another step forward and don’t blame me for being rude.” Long Batian's figure flickered as he blocked Shangguan Xi'er’s path, his gaze shooting forth a chilling light. The Long family and Piao Miao Palace were already enemies; now, seeing Shangguan Xi'er appear, Long Batian’s anger burned even fiercer. The strongest person in the continent, he was eager to witness it himself.
“Get lost!” Shangguan Xi'er replied with a cold smile. Facing Long Batian, her delicate hand reached out gently, lightly slapping forward. This palm came without any hint of hostility; in silence, it arrived before Long Batian, appearing exceptionally casual and relaxed.
