For a moment, countless eyes were focused on Lin Xun, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

Lin Xun was amazed by the accuracy of Emperor Fire Spirit’s speculation.

However, this was only an inference and there was no solid evidence.

Just when Lin Xun was about to say something, a voice suddenly sounded, "Simply because Jin Duyi won the first place, he is suffering from so much suspicion and suppression. Senior, don't you think it's too much?"

The voice had a lazy quality to it with hints of doubts and ridicule. It sounded quite disrespectful.

Swish!

Many people looked over and saw that the speaker was a young man who was wearing clothing made of hemp. He had a handsome face, but was just standing there in a sloppy manner.

Surprised expressions surfaced on everyone’s face. No one had expected that he would dare to be so presumptuous in the face of such a supreme existence as Emperor Fire Spirit.

Lin Xun was also startled because he knew that the hemp-clothed boy was Xuan Jiuyin!

However, this guy no longer simply watched the fun from the sidelines like before. Instead he had inserted himself in this particular storm.

This surprised Lin Xun.

"Too much? What qualifications do you, a little thing, have to accuse me of being too much?"

Emperor Fire Spirit was furious. She was already displeased by Lin Xun's earlier retort, and now another one had jumped out with an even more arrogant attitude, which made her lose face.

She was an Emperor!

Since when did some silly juniors dare to challenge her majesty?

If they had been anywhere else, Emperor Fire Spirit would have taken action long ago!

Contrary to her expectations, Xuan Jiuyin did not retreat after being reprimanded and instead stood up straight while raising his head. He proclaimed loudly, "Ridiculous. Why do I need some stupid qualifications to stand up to an old hag like you? I said you were being too much. If you have the guts, kill me now and see what will happen then!"

These words made countless people blanch and gasp. This was not just being disrespectful, but instead literally pointing a finger at Emperor Fire Spirit and scolding her outright! ℝ

This kid is pushing it a bit too much...

Lin Xun was stunned, and the way he looked towards Xuan Jiuyin changed.

Emperor Fire Spirit was so angry that her face turned blue, and there was a terrifying glint in her eyes that made the world wail. A terrifying pressure filled the whole place.

Taishu Hong took a step forward without leaving a trace and used his power to push back the pressure enveloping the area as he whispered, "Dao Friend, let me remind you that this boy's surname is Xuan."

Xuan!

It was just a surname!

However, at this moment, it was like a basin of cold water had been poured on Emperor Fire Spirit’s head, dispersing her anger and calming her down.

Despite that, she still stared at Xuan Jiuyin in a very unfriendly manner. “Little guy, the family behind you can indeed bring you benefits, but that does not give you the qualifications to challenge and question someone who is an Emperor. Now, stay to the side obediently."

As she spoke, she pointed in the air.

Xuan Jiuyin acted as if he had been imprisoned and he was unable to speak. He was so angry that his eyes looked like they were about to spit fire, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn't even move a finger.

This was the power of an Emperor!

Even a person with Xuan Jiuyin's background had no power to shake the will of an Emperor.

"Now, it's your turn."

Emperor Fire Spirit looked at Lin Xun with a cold and indifferent expression, "Today, no matter who comes, they can't stop me from revealing your identity and breaking your disguise."

The other Emperors present all had mixed expressions.

Emperor Fire Spirit was speculating that Lin Xun was a remnant of Fangchun Mountain. This made them feel a little uneasy, so no one stopped what was going on as they all wanted to see if her accusation was true.

"Dao Friend, stop now before it’s too late."

Taishu Hong frowned.

"Don't worry, if it is proved that he is not a remnant of Fangchun Mountain, I promise not to hurt a single hair on his body," said Emperor Fire Spirit calmly.

She sounded extremely confident.

Xia Xinglie felt uneasy. He wondered where Emperor Fire Spirit had gotten her confidence from, and why she was so sure that Lin Xun's identity was problematic.

Could it be...

She has already ferreted out some pertinent information?

Regardless, Lin Xun's situation at the moment was extremely dangerous!

Xia Xinglie couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple, search him."

Emperor Fire Spirit Empress continued, "This boy must have a lot of treasures on him. As long as he takes them all out, we can check them one by one."

Xia Xinglie asked again, "What if a body search can't prove your conjecture?"

Emperor Fire Spirit seemed to have been prepared and said, "Then I will use my spiritual sense to check his body and soul. The body can be changed, but a person's memory and experience can never be faked."

Hiss!

Many people sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, realizing that Emperor Fire Spirit was completely going all out against Lin Xun. She was clearly determined not to give up until she found out the truth!

Xia Xinglie's face darkened, "Ridiculous! If Jin Duyi had been a member of the Great Six Courts or the Great Ten Battle Clans, would you dare to take such an excessive measure?"

Whether it was a body search or a soul search, this was an extremely rude thing to do and was akin to trampling on the person’s dignity!

Many cultivators in the area were also very uncomfortable after hearing this, but they dared not speak out because the person demanding this was an Emperor.

Lin Xun's dark eyes became deep, and his heart filled with uncontrollable murderous intent.

Regardless of the reason, just being targeted by Emperor Fire Spirit made him feel an unprecedented anger.

Body search!

Soul search!

This old hag is doing something completely unscrupulous in order to deal with me!

Emperor Fire Spirit said calmly, "Xia Xinglie, you are right. I am doing this because I doubt this boy's identity. If he had an identity that no one could doubt, then why would I bother with a junior?"

As she said that, she raised her hand and grabbed at Lin Xun through the air, "Little thing, I will make sure you have nowhere to hide now!"

Lin Xun would not sit still and wait for death.

Whether it was a body search or a soul search, it was indeed a fatal blow to him as it would completely expose his identity.

"Senior..."

When Lin Xun was about to use Xi's power, he was suddenly stunned.

Because the Well-Wishing Dao Robe that had turned into a strand of silver light and was wrapped around his fingertips suddenly flew up at this moment, producing a dao light that rushed into the sky.

"Dare to resist? You are overestimating your own ability!"

Emperor Fire Spirit sneered. After seeing this happen, she had become more and more certain that Lin Xun's identity was problematic, so she waved her hand without hesitation.

A giant palm of fire that covered the sky pressed out and slapped the Well-Wishing Dao Robe.

Boom!

Particles of light flew and the world shook.

𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

What surprised everyone was that, at this moment, the palm power of Emperor Fire Spirit was actually wiped out by the dazzling silver light.

Taishu Hong, Flaming Sky Demon Emperor, Xia Xinglie and the others all felt their pupils constrict.

How could an Emperor-grade treasure have such terrible power that it could block the attack of an Emperor?

The whole place fell silent.

Mi Wuya, Huangfu Shaonong and others were also dizzy. An Emperor had attacked, but was blocked by a treasure. This was undoubtedly too incredible!

Emperor Fire Spirit’s face flushed with a bit of embarrassment. She snorted coldly, took a deep breath, and used her real power.

"Suppress!"

Dao sounds flew out of her lips and lines of Fire Laws emerged in the space before weaving into a fire mountain. It fell from the sky as if it was going to suppress the world and burn the sky!

This was extremely terrifying as it was the real power of an Emperor!

Xia Xinglie couldn't hold himself back and wanted to stop it because he was worried that even Lin Xun would be affected by this attack withs his life in danger.

At this crucial moment, a voice resounded between heaven and earth, "Scram!"

That voice only said one word, and it was obviously a very rude remark, but the voice itself was incredibly sweet and soft.

It reminded people of a spring breeze blowing on their face.

However, the flaming mountain that fell from the sky immediately disappeared in the void, rumbling and disintegrating into a rain of light.

Furthermore, Emperor Fire Spirit, who had stood proudly on the top of the mountain with her Emperor might swirling around her, was blasted away as if a hand from the heavens had slapped her.

With a loud bang, she rolled far away in the sea of clouds...

The whole place was dead silent, and the world seemed to be absolutely still. Even the sound of the wind stopped blowing.

All of the young experts present were dumbfounded and their eyes were filled with daze.

Emperor Fire Spirit was a powerful behemoth in Heaven and Earth Dao Court, and she was a terrifying existence that countless sentient beings in the starry sky looked up to.

Who had ever seen...her tumbling around in such a messy manner?

In fact, the Emperors present were all shocked, and their eyes almost all immediately looked in the same direction.

In the far distance, in the sea of clouds, a graceful figure appeared. She was clothed simply with her hair wound up in a plain bun with a wooden hairpin. She had a sweet-looking countenance, a lithe and slender body, and resembled a gentle and humble young woman.

However, at the first sight of this woman, whether it was Taishu Hong, Xia Xinglie, Flaming Sky Demon Emperor, Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor or other big figures, they all couldn't help but hold their breath.

Only they could see that there were countless divine radiances emerging from this woman. Billions of dao lights flowed around her as they turned into a perfectly spherical halo of light that lingered.

As she took a single step, the heavens and earth resonated, all things appeared as the sound of the great dao echoed. She resembled an ultimate dao master strolling down from the nine heavens!

This fairy-like and supreme image made all the Emperors present feel a shock directly to the heart and they were amazed.

"What realm of cultivation is this?"

Some Emperors felt their scalps tingling. They were unable to see through the aura of the woman, which only proved that the realms they were in were very different!

"The encirclement of ten thousand truths with billions of auspicious lights... She has actually reached such an incredible step..."

Xia Xinglie's eyes burst out with brilliant arcs of light as excitement ignited within his heart.

He was the Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor, the master of Great Dao Ninth Heavens Palace. He had roamed the nebula, fearless of all in the world, so he was obviously an extremely conceited and proud person.

Despite that, at this moment, in front of this woman, he felt a kind of pressure coming at him!

At the same time, Lin Xun also spotted this woman, and the Well-Wishing Dao Robe that was happily humming between his fingers acted as if it was about to slip out of his hand.

This reminded Lin Xun of someone, and a strange look appeared in his eyes as his mind filled with excitement.

Is it really...

Third Senior Sister?

Silently, the gentle and humble-looking woman came to Lin Xun. She had a soft smile on her lips as she said, "Junior Brother, I heard that you might be bullied, so I have come."

It was indeed his third senior sister!

Lin Xun suddenly remembered what Senior Brother Li Xuanwei had once told him.

"In Fangchun Mountain, she is known for her gentleness and virtuosity. All of our clothes were made by her personally. If she meets you in the future, she will surely make clothes for you as well."

[1]

However, Lin Xun never expected that the first time he would meet his third senior sister would be in such a dangerous and unpredictable situation.
