At this moment, Yao Xian intercepted the Supreme on his way to Yanmo City.
This Supreme looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, seated in an ancient chariot. Beneath the chariot, a golden path stretched from afar, resembling an emperor's tour of his realm.
He was none other than Ling Shaxing, the Sect Master of the Shaxing Gate.
"I am Ling Shaxing, who are you?"
Ling Shaxing spoke, his eyes flashing with a hint of amazement. He was stunned by Yao Xian's beauty and temperament.
Ling Shaxing had seen many goddesses and saintesses, but none could compare to even a fraction of the woman he saw today.
"Ling Shaxing, one of the Seven Stars of Lingchen Pavilion?" Yao Xian asked, not answering his question.
As the princess of the Yao family, Yao Xian was well-informed about the Tianxuan Continent and the entire Yaochi Immortal Realm. Lingchen Pavilion, being the second most powerful force in the Tianxuan Continent after her own family, she knew even more about them.
Lingchen Pavilion outwardly had five True Immortals, but in reality, there were seven, corresponding to the previous generation's Seven Stars of Lingchen.
The Seven Stars of Lingchen were all personal disciples of the seven True Immortals, each with monstrous talent, and all had become Supremes, striving for the True Immortal realm.
"You know me?" Ling Shaxing's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint in his gaze.
In the eyes of the world, Lingchen Pavilion only had five True Immortals, each with a personal disciple, and he was not one of them. His master was one of the hidden True Immortals. Even within Lingchen Pavilion, only a few of his senior and junior brothers knew his identity.
The person before him actually knew his identity. Who was she?
Yao Xian still ignored Ling Shaxing's question and coldly questioned, "Did you found the Shaxing Gate?"
Ling Shaxing, seeing that Yao Xian had repeatedly not answered his question, felt a surge of anger. When had he ever been treated with such coldness? Even fellow Supreme experts would not dare to neglect him like this.
"What if I did?" Ling Shaxing responded coldly, like the wrath of the heavens. The world changed unpredictably due to his emotional fluctuations.
"Your subordinates are forcibly collecting protection fees in the Northwest Desert, slaughtering cities and exterminating clans if they don't pay. Do you know about this?" Yao Xian's expression remained unchanged, but her tone was even colder than before.
"So you want to stand up for these ants. It seems my projection was destroyed by you."
"Who exactly are you?"
Ling Shaxing didn't directly say whether he knew or not, but his words had already told Yao Xian the answer.
Yao Xian didn't refute Ling Shaxing's assumption that she had destroyed his projection, as she and Gu Changsheng were inseparable. What Gu Changsheng did was no different from what she did.
As for Ling Shaxing asking her again who she was, this time she didn't avoid the question.
"Ling Tianfang, the current Pavilion Master of Lingchen Pavilion, is a close friend of my father!" she said calmly.
Hearing this, Ling Shaxing's pupils shrank, and he suddenly stood up from his seat, looking at Yao Xian with a shocked expression.
"You are Yao Xian, the princess of the Yao family?" Ling Shaxing said.
"Ling Shaxing, you have a lot of nerve. Instead of staying in Lingchen Pavilion, you're out here harming living beings. Today, I will capture you and ask Lingchen Pavilion if they know about this."
Yao Xian shouted coldly and attacked.
"Fairy Yao, stop! I have no intention of being your enemy."
Ling Shaxing's face changed drastically. Regardless of whether he was Yao Xian's opponent, Yao Xian's identity alone was enough to make few people in the entire Taixu Realm dare to touch her.
With two Immortal Kings in one family, Lingchen Pavilion behind him was nothing but ants in front of the Yao family.
But seeing that Yao Xian had no intention of stopping, he naturally couldn't let himself be slaughtered. He could only say, "Fairy Yao, since you insist on attacking, then I won't be polite. If you get hurt, it's your own fault."
Yao Xian attacked him first, and he was retaliating. Even the Yao family couldn't be unreasonable, right? Otherwise, who would trust the Yao family?
"Hurt me? Heh!"
Yao Xian let out a disdainful laugh. She extended two slender, fair fingers and gently tapped the void.
"Boom!"
Ling Shaxing only felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and found a bloody hole in his powerful Supreme body.
"You..."
Ling Shaxing looked at Yao Xian in horror. He hadn't even seen the trajectory of her divine power. Facing Yao Xian was like facing a powerful immortal.
But how was this possible? Yao Xian had only become a Supreme a few years ago. She couldn't have become an immortal so quickly, unless she used some method of forced growth. But she was the number one on both the Rouge and Sacred Rankings. Women on the Rouge Ranking had never achieved less than True Immortal status.
Yao Xian's talent was so strong that she wouldn't use methods that damaged her foundation.
She was still in the Supreme realm, and she had only recently attained it.
But... why was she so strong?
"Bang!"
Yao Xian slapped out a palm, and Ling Shaxing's ancient chariot exploded, Ling Shaxing's embarrassed figure darting out from within.
Ling Shaxing wanted to retaliate, but no matter how he used his divine powers, Yao Xian easily dissolved them. In the end, Yao Xian stretched out a hand, transforming it into a towering giant hand, suppressing him.
After suppressing Ling Shaxing, Yao Xian took out a jade slip and told her father, Yao Tianchen, everything that Ling Shaxing and the Shaxing Gate had done in the Northwest Desert.
Seeing this, Ling Shaxing's face turned ashen.
He knew that this time, he was finished.
Soon, Yao Xian received Yao Tianchen's reply.
"Kill him!" Yao Tianchen said.
"What does Lingchen Pavilion say?" Yao Xian didn't act immediately, but asked about Lingchen Pavilion's stance.
"Those old guys are refusing to admit that Ling Shaxing is a disciple of Lingchen Pavilion," Yao Tianchen laughed.
"Daughter understands." Yao Xian nodded, then looked at Ling Shaxing and said coldly, "The Northwest Desert is scarce in resources. Why did you come to harm it?"
Knowing that he was going to die, Ling Shaxing simply said, "Does a dragon care about the life and death of ants?"
"A dragon doesn't care about the life and death of ants, but you are a person, and the living beings of the Northwest Desert are also people."
"You deserve to die!"
A hint of anger appeared on Yao Xian's face.
"Do it!" Ling Shaxing had an appearance of resignation.
"Killing you so simply is too good for you. Today, I will extract your Supreme soul and integrate it into the Northwest Desert, so that you are constantly trampled on by the ants you despise."
Yao Xian shouted coldly.
"You dare?" Ling Shaxing's face changed drastically.
"What wouldn't I dare to do?"
Yao Xian acted decisively.
"Ah!"
The pain of having one's soul forcibly extracted from the body was unbearable even for a Supreme expert.
For a time, a shrill scream echoed in this world, scaring the living beings within millions of miles into trembling.
Only Gu Changsheng was admiring his wife.
"Even when she's angry, she's still so beautiful!"
