Chapter 1936 - 1919: I Will Protect Zhou Yitian

(I rushed back and started typing right away. Sorry to keep you all waiting so long. Things will go back to normal tomorrow.)

In the Black Wind Star Domain, on the Ancestor Star of the Red Eyes Clan, a much-anticipated political marriage banquet was being held.

The place was already packed to the brim, black masses of people everywhere. Quite a few Martial Artists had even been squeezed out into the starry sky, their gazes tightly locked on the Ancestor Star, on a continent floating midair.

At this moment, on that continent, a fierce battle was breaking out. One powerful young genius after another was unleashing Spiritual Techniques, trading blow for blow, fighting with great enthusiasm, drawing waves of cheers.

"The Heavenly Pride Girl of the Red Eyes Clan, Gu Shuling, truly has quite the looks. No wonder she’s attracted so many young elites from Half-Saint Forces."

"Not quite, not quite. In the Three Thousand Great Realms there are countless women with decent looks. The reason these young elites from Half-Saint Forces are flocking here—aside from the Red Eyes Clan itself being a Half-Saint Force—is mainly because of the clan’s special bloodline."

"Hiss! So the rumors are true, the Red Eyes Clan really does possess such a heaven-defying bloodline?"

"True or not, what I’m more looking forward to is seeing who will become the leading figure of this political marriage banquet!"

"Hehe, don’t bother looking forward to it. The leading figure of this banquet was decided long ago. It’s definitely going to be someone from that Nanmen clan. This so-called contest is just a formality."

...

Many Martial Artists watched the battles even as they discussed, their gazes quietly shifting toward the spectator stands on the Ancestor Star of the Red Eyes Clan.

There, six renowned Half-Saint Experts sat calmly, their might surging sky-high, surrounded by countless Anomalies.

Aside from them, the most eye-catching was a certain man from the Red Eyes Clan.

This man was extremely peculiar. Though his hair and beard were completely white, his skin was fair as a baby’s, his Blood Qi surging, his figure tall and imposing. Just sitting there, he gave people an immense sense of Suppression. One Red Eyes expert after another clustered around him like stars around the moon.

There was no doubt that this man was the Half-Saint Expert of the Red Eyes Clan—Gu Daoyi, who had Cultivated for ten thousand years and was known as the Red Eyes Ancestor.

"Father, are you truly going to sacrifice your daughter’s happiness?"

Gu Shuling, dressed in a red bridal robe, sat beside Gu Daoyi. Her face pale, she asked in a low voice.

Swoosh!

At these words, two sharp beams of light instantly burst from Gu Daoyi’s deep eyes.

"In the Three Thousand Great Realms, strength alone is Eternal. If I can raise my Red Eyes Clan to a Quasi-Saint or even Saint-level Force, let alone sacrificing your happiness, even if I had to sacrifice your life, I would not hesitate!"

"Even if you hadn’t come back this time, I would have personally gone to the Taixu Saint Realm to drag you back. As a son or daughter of the Red Eyes Clan, you cannot escape the Fate of this clan!"

"If you don’t want that Zhou brat to vanish, then obediently accept your Fate!"

Gu Daoyi said in a deep voice, wild flames dancing in his eyes.

He had Cultivated for ten thousand years, yet had only one daughter, Gu Shuling. Why? Because he was obsessed with Martial Arts.

If he wished, his sons and daughters would already be countless. So his sense of familial affection was extremely faint.

"Father..."

Hearing Gu Daoyi’s words, even someone as strong-willed as Gu Shuling couldn’t help but fall into despair. Two streams of tears slid down from her eyes.

"Hehe, everyone, this is something this old man acquired in another Great Realm. Today I’ve brought it out to entertain you all."

The next moment, Gu Daoyi took out fine wine from his Space Ring, flicked his finger, and sent it out to the Martial Artists from the Half-Saint Forces present, a broad smile on his face.

If he wanted to break through from the Half-Saint Realm to a Quasi-Saint, or even an actual Saint, what he needed was Cultivation Resources!

Each of the Half-Saint Forces present had a deeper foundation than his Red Eyes Clan. If a political marriage was formed, the benefits he would receive were naturally endless.

"Red Eyes Ancestor, you’re too courteous."

"Hahaha, even if we fail to become relatives by marriage with the Red Eyes Clan this time, we can still visit each other more in the future."

...

One Half-Saint after another accepted the fine wine, speaking to Gu Daoyi with a gentle attitude.

Boom!

At that moment, a powerful Spiritual Power suddenly swept in from the starry sky, covering the Ancestor Star of the Red Eyes Clan, shaking that arena-like continent so hard it trembled.

"This is the Ancestor Star of the Red Eyes Clan. Could there be someone who dares to cause trouble here?"

The spectators were all startled, heads snapping up. Even the Half-Saint Experts in the stands looked up.

They saw high in the sky, a handsome young man slowly descending, with an elderly servant with white hair and a withered, aged appearance following at his side.

"It’s Zhou Yitian!"

Someone sharp-eyed recognized him at once and cried out, causing everyone’s expressions to change drastically.

Although the Red Eyes Clan had concealed the matter between Zhou Yitian and Gu Shuling, quite a few people in the Black Wind Star Domain still knew.

But none of them had expected that the Undefeated Emperor would actually dare to come knocking at their door—and on such a day besides. Wasn’t this a slap in the face to the Red Eyes Clan?

"Yitian!"

Gu Shuling on the spectator stands widened her eyes, her delicate body trembling. Amid her excitement, a surge of fear rose up.

"Dare to cause trouble on the Ancestor Star of our Red Eyes Clan?"

"For the sake of the hardship of your Cultivation, leave on your own. Otherwise... die!"

Gu Daoyi felt the questioning gazes of the Half-Saint Experts present. A cold light burst in his eyes.

"Red Eyes Ancestor, today is the political marriage banquet of your Red Eyes Clan. Anyone who can win in the contest may marry your clan’s Gu Shuling. Though I am not particularly gifted, I too wish to give it a try. How is that causing trouble?"

From within the Undefeated Emperor’s body came the rumbling of Ancient Scripture, his figure straight and tall as he spoke aloud. His bright gaze locked with Gu Shuling’s.

"I didn’t expect that the warning of my Red Eyes Clan would be useless. I should never have shown mercy. Today, we absolutely cannot become a laughingstock!"

Gu Daoyi’s face turned ashen, then he forced a smile onto his face and said to the Six Great Half-Saints present, "Forgive me, this old man will first deal with this annoying fly."

As soon as he finished speaking, cold light flashed in his eyes. He reached out with his hand, a vast palm covering the sky and the sun as it grabbed directly toward the Undefeated Emperor.

A Half-Saint striking in anger was no trivial matter.

Boom!

In that instant, the void shattered, Heaven and Earth trembled, and nearly all the Martial Artists present were forced flat to the ground.

"This old bastard is actually this vicious!"

The Undefeated Emperor was greatly shocked. Even though he desperately urged the Ancient Scripture Image, it was useless. It was as if all his Spiritual Power had been drawn away. He could only watch as that enormous palm descended, about to suppress him.

"Young master, you shouldn’t have come. Hurry and flee!"

With a deafening bang, that enormous palm shattered, and along with it came an old, sorrowful sigh. The old servant following at the Undefeated Emperor’s side fell from midair, covered in blood, his Spirit Body broken, his eyes filled with helplessness.

"Atu!"

The Undefeated Emperor froze, then his eyes turned blood-red, even his Soul trembling.

This old servant had been loyal to the core, clearly knowing this trip was like a moth rushing into the flame, yet still choosing to follow him, and at the crucial moment, standing in front of him to block a fatal blow.

"Your luck is quite good. Let’s see who can protect you this time!"

Gu Daoyi’s expression was indifferent as he prepared to strike again, but suddenly his heart jolted. A sense of extreme foreboding rose within him, and he looked toward the vast starry sky.

At the same time, the Six Great Half-Saints present also raised their heads, gazing into the starry sky.

There, blazing Divine Radiance was blooming. Vaguely, a tall, straight figure could be seen charging over at an incomparably fast speed, descending upon the Ancient Star of the Red Eyes Clan in just a few breaths, like Instant Teleportation.

At the same time, a long howl like crashing waves rolled across the Ancient Star.

"This time, it’s my turn to protect Zhou Yitian!"
