第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百九十章 冲冠一怒

The voices of the two were soft, but the entire grand hall suddenly became abnormally quiet.

Dream Yuyan and Lion King, as well as the Five-Colored Fairy, each had expressions of disbelief.

"Yuan Yuan, what do you call him?" The Five-Colored Fairy could no longer hold back her impatience.

"Haha, Fairy, you didn't hear wrong; your adopted daughter is my wife." Lin Xuan stood up straight. Since his wife was here, all the dangers and threats naturally fell on himself to handle. Men should protect their loved ones from harm, right?

It seemed that Peacock had guessed Lin Xuan's intentions, but she never needed to hide behind a man.

Back when facing Zhuoju, Peacock didn't fear him either. Besides, her adoptive mother doted so much on her; how could she retreat in the face of anything? However, the two began their confrontation too quickly. As soon as Peacock took a step forward, their aura clashed mid-air.

Lin Xuan was still not at a disadvantage. Despite not having reached the Separation Realm, his formidable cultivation allowed him to show no signs of weakness.

"Impossible!" The Lion King widened his eyes in shock. It was well-known that while the Separation and Core Formation stages were only one rank apart, their power levels were worlds apart. Otherwise, Dream Yuyan wouldn't be able to kill thousands of cultivators with just a flick of her wrist.

According to logic, in the Lion King's eyes, even a Core Formation cultivator wasn't insignificant; they were merely minor pawns.

But at this moment, that notion seemed to have been overturned. This mere Core Formation cultivator was actually able to clash with his aura without falling behind.

Master Shi Zeng widened his eyes further. He knew the extent of his father's power. Was this boy human... or perhaps a hidden old monster who had concealed his cultivation?

No, it couldn't be. Looking at both human and demon races, there were only a few Separation Realm existences, and they all knew each other well. His father wouldn't have recognized him.

Peacock Fairy's expression was also one of shock, but soon turned to surprise as well. Originally, she had prepared to face the Lion King head-on with her husband. Women weren't always meant to be protected.

She had the bloodline of a bird king, even if it was thin, and was a descendant of Phoenixes. Her proud and strong-willed personality made Yuan Yuan unwilling to retreat in front of anything.

Moreover, that old lion was a fifth-stage beast race; she worried about her husband. But their confrontation happened too quickly. As soon as Peacock took a step forward, their aura clashed mid-air.

Lin Xuan... wasn't at a disadvantage. Peacock's surprise turned into both shock and joy.

Although she was self-reliant, who wouldn't want to marry an outstanding man? After all, everyone had moments of weakness; when she felt tired, he could be her support.

Peacock's eyes flashed with excitement as a hint of sweetness appeared around the corner of her mouth.

On the other side, even with the Five-Colored Fairy's deep-seated wisdom, she couldn't help but feel shaken. She knew Dream Yuyan valued Lin Xuan greatly and never imagined that this Core Formation cultivator could withstand the Separation Realm.

Such a feat was almost unprecedented; there were only a few cases like it.

Despite her shock, the Five-Colored Fairy kept silent, unsure of what she thought.

Among everyone present, Mo from the Heavenly Sea Pavilion was the most calm and composed. She knew that Huitong had fallen to Lin Xuan's hands and had tested his abilities during their flight. Even if he was slightly inferior, the Lion King couldn't rely on his aura alone to overpower him; it was a dream.

Dream Yuyan remained calm and sipped her wine. Initially, she wanted to teach this arrogant boy a lesson, but now she looked foolish in front of everyone. The Lion King was both shocked and angry, but he couldn't lose face either.

However, he didn't believe Lin Xuan's cultivation could match the Separation Realm; such things defied millennia-old logic. Maybe there was some extraordinary treasure enhancing his aura?

Yes! That must be it!

With this thought, a fierce red light enveloped his face, and the temperature around him suddenly rose.

He raised his right hand, and the entire palm was covered in a layer of light.

Playing with fire? Lin Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Since he hadn't used any other divine techniques, he still had some doubts about it, but playing with fire... hahaha, this old man reaps what he sows.

In simple terms, it was like trying to play carpentry tricks in front of Lu Ban.

After absorbing the essence of the Separation Realm clouds, his Green Illusion Fiery Flames would still retreat three steps even for a Separation Realm cultivator.

The green light flickered as Lin Xuan's palm was also enveloped by a brilliant glow.

Dream Yuyan continued to smile. She wasn't indifferent; she cared about her brother too. But she believed that this brief confrontation wouldn't harm Lin Xuan, and it would just dampen the Lion King's sharpness.

The atmosphere in the hall had completely frozen as everyone waited for the next move.

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out: "Stop!"

A bright figure appeared before them.

Dream Yuyan trusted Lin Xuan; she didn't need to intervene. However, as the hostess, the Five-Colored Fairy couldn't allow guests to fight in her palace.

"No matter who wins or loses, my face will be very difficult." The Five-Colored Fairy's expression showed clear displeasure as she spoke calmly.

Lin Xuan frowned but remained silent; after all, the Five-Colored Fairy was Yuan Yuan's adoptive mother. He wouldn't say much and would just watch.

Master Shi Zeng still had a resentful look on his face, but given his status, he couldn't speak freely either.

"Indeed, Fairy, you have spoken wisely. I was too hasty; please forgive me." The Lion King's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom before he spoke kindly.

Lin Xuan observed coldly. Although he had only lived for two hundred years, he had experienced many changes and his wisdom didn't fall short of the three Separation Realm cultivators present. He suspected there was something behind the Lion King's change in attitude.

But Lin Xuan wasn't afraid; Yuan Yuan was his wife, a fact that no one could change. If the Lion King had any ulterior motives, he would just face them head-on.

Seeing the Lion King become so accommodating, the Five-Colored Fairy's expression turned surprised: "Upman is too polite. Please return to your seat."

"Not yet," the Lion King waved his hand and then turned sharply, looking at Lin Xuan with an unfriendly expression. "Boy, for the sake of the host, I won't bully you, but I have a few questions for you. If your answers satisfy me, I won't trouble you."
