“How dare you!”
“You’re just a mere human King. How dare you reject the young Venerable?”
The few experts from space race behind him were immediately enraged. They shouted at Ling Ran and berated her for not knowing her place.
In their opinion, it was a great honor for Ling Ran to be liked by the young Venerable. They believed she should kneel down and be grateful.
These words undoubtedly made all the elders and disciples of Taiyi Holy Land very angry. Ling Ran was not only the Holy Lord of Taiyi Holy Land but also a goddess in the eyes of many disciples. They could never allow others to profane such a noble goddess.
However, they didn’t dare to voice their anger because these people were experts in space race. None of them were ordinary. There were three Venerables and more than a dozen kings. Even the four immortal divine dynasties would be wary of such a lineup.
If they were angered, the entire Taiyi Holy Land would be destroyed.
The young Venerable was not angry at Ling Ran’s refusal. On the contrary, he was very happy. He was even more interested in conquering Ling Ran. Only by conquering such a strong woman would he truly be delighted.
“Good, you have a strong personality!” Clapping his hands, the young Venerable smiled and said, “I like your style, but you don’t have to be in a hurry to reject me. You might not know who I am, but I can tell you that I am the future leader of space race. My sire is the current leader. After he abdicates, I will be in charge of space race.”
“If you’re willing to become my woman, I can speak to my sire so he won’t drive you out. What do you think?”
It was true that Ling Ran did not want to leave Taiyi Holy Land, but it was not in her nature to do such a thing in exchange for the favor of her race.
Lu Xuan arrived before Ling Ran could say anything. He cupped his fists at the young Venerable and said, “I’m sorry, young Venerable.”
The underlying meaning of his words was rejection.
Ling Ran was the new Holy Lord that Taiyi Holy Land had thought highly of. She also had a Zixia Body, so she had a promising future ahead of her.
Moreover, she was his disciple, so he naturally didn’t want to watch his disciple succumb to space race’s power for the sake of Taiyi Holy Land.
Hearing this, the young Venerable’s handsome face immediately darkened and he said coldly, “You had your chance. Let me tell you this. There’s no woman in this world that I can’t have. Ling Ran, I like you very much, and I’ve come here today especially for you. You know I won’t take no for an answer.”
In fact, he was telling the truth.
Taiyi Holy Land meant nothing to him. If anyone dared to disobey him, he wouldn’t mind just razing it to the ground.
Ling Ran’s expression was gloomy, and Lu Xuan’s expression darkened as well. He said, “young Venerable, although space race is very strong, Taiyi Holy Land isn’t an ordinary faction either. If you want to settle this the hard way, I’m afraid you will have your share of the dues to pay.”
A senior Venerable from space race sneered, “Taiyi Holy Land? However, it had been in decline for a long time. It was said that there was still a Venerable called Elder King. However, how can a mere Venerable be a match for us?”
Another Venerable from space race said coldly, “Holy Lord Ling Ran, you’d better agree to young Venerable’s request. Otherwise, don’t blame space race for being merciless and killing the only Venerable you have. Furthermore, it’s not a problem for you to turn to the so-called heritage of the Holy Lands. I believe that the so-called heritage of the Holy Lands is at most an Ancient Sage who has not much time left in his life. How much power can they exert in sage realm? How many Ancient Sages can they seal? However, once you do, our ancient saints will also take action.”
“Unlike your so-called Ancient Sages, our race has sufficient blood energy. It won’t be a problem for us to kill those so-called Ancient Sages!”
These experts from space race were intimidating and enticing Ling Ran. They were not afraid of Taiyi Holy Land because they had enough confidence.
They believed that even if there were still Ancient Sages in Taiyi Holy Land, they would not have much time left. Otherwise, Taiyi Holy Land would not have declined so much over the years.
Even if they did, they would be able to turn to their own Ancient Sages. A distance of a million miles was not a problem for those Ancient Sages at all.
Ancient Sages could traverse the heavens and earth in a split second. They could go to any corner of the universe.
Both Ling Ran and Lu Xuan’s hearts sank. Space race knew all too well about Taiyi Holy Land. They knew very well about what Taiyi Holy Land was like ten years ago.
However, they were not aware of the fact that Elder King had already become a Jiutian Sage and had even killed two Ancient Sages.
In the face of the threat and temptation of space race, Ling Ran gritted her teeth. She naturally did not want to agree and become young Venerable’s woman.
Her heart yearned for Great Path, and the only person who held a place in her heart was the mysterious person who had given her Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra. It was definitely not young Venerable.
However, if she refused, Taiyi Holy Land would probably be ravaged by space race experts.
She didn’t know what to do at one point.
At that moment, a burly figure appeared and came to Ling Ran and Lu Xuan’s side. It was Lord Dragon. He took a look at young Venerable and said, “She can’t be your woman. I’ll tell you this, leave. Also, you might want to stay away from Taiyi Holy Land. They won’t settle anywhere else.”
Ling Ran and Lu Xuan looked at Dragon Lord in surprise.
The experts from space race looked at Dragon Lord. They could not sense Dragon Lord’s true cultivation prowess. They could only vaguely sense that he was also a Bahuang Venerable.
“You’re Elder King?” The young Venerable raised an eyebrow.
“You’re nothing more than an Elder King, ” a King of space race shouted. “How dare you be so disrespectable to our young Venerable? Why don’t you kneel down and slap yourself? Perhaps his highness will be kind enough to let you go.”
The young Venerable didn’t stop him. The other two Venerables from space race didn’t say anything either. Instead, they looked coldly at Dragon Lord.
Dragon Lord threw a glance at the king of space race. With a boom, the king seemed to have been struck by lightning. He screamed in pain, and his face turned pale as he fell from the sky.
“How dare you!” the other king of space race shouted.
Although he had seen Dragon Lord’s ability, he was not afraid. That was because the young Venerable and the other Venerables of the race were present.
The young Venerable looked at Dragon Lord coldly and said in a cold voice, “Can’t believe you had the temerity to attack my man in front of me. As I see it, you really don’t care if your home gets destroyed!”
Everyone in Taiyi Holy Land was shocked.
“What makes you think you can talk to me like that?” Dragon Lord said coldly. Not only did he release the terrifying aura of a Venerable, but a terrifying giant dragon’s phantom that was tens of thousands of feet long also appeared behind him. It lingered in the sky and looked down on the experts of space race from above, releasing a terrifying dragon’s might.
Seeing this, the expressions of the experts from space race changed. “Dragon race!”
