“Strongest Eight-Year-Old Divine Ancestor ... ”
He, Sikong Shan, was a true Celestial Being.
In the Lower Realm, to pursue a woman so openly, if he were to fail, wouldn’t it be a laughingstock?
However, Ye Fan’s strength left him feeling alarmed; the arrogance he once had was long gone.
Thus, even as they continued to battle, he had no confidence that he could handle Ye Fan.
He could clearly sense that although he was holding back his own power, Ye Fan was likely not using his full strength either.
If he could just call it off now, and if Ye Fan would agree to join his Suspended King Sword Sect and hand over Nangong Xuandie to him, then not only could he retreat unscathed, but he could also gain the woman he desired.
Even his reputation would be preserved; what was there to lose?
“The Suspended King Sword Sect is also a Dominant Force in the Upper Realm. You should understand what being at the Overlord level represents! With your talent, it won’t be long before you ascend to the Upper Realm. Is it worth offending a Dominant Force only to be hunted down by an Overlord-level power right after your ascension?”
“Or would you rather ascend to the Upper Realm and receive the support and protection of a Dominant Force? I believe you know how to choose.”
Sikong Shan finished speaking, casting a condescending glance at Ye Fan.
In his view, the pros and cons were so clear-cut that Ye Fan had no reason to refuse him.
Even those from various other factions who had not retreated felt a sense of shock upon hearing Sikong Shan's words.
Of course, they were not shocked by what Sikong Shan had said.
What truly astonished them was Ye Fan's strength.
It was clear that Sikong Shan's words were an indirect acknowledgment of Ye Fan's power.
Only when he felt threatened by Ye Fan's abilities did he offer such a choice.
Otherwise, everyone had no doubt that Sikong Shan would have undoubtedly killed Ye Fan without hesitation.
However, it could not be denied that Sikong Shan's words held considerable truth; even a fool would know how to choose wisely.
One could say that as long as Ye Fan expressed his stance and swore an oath by the Heavenly Dao as Sikong Shan suggested, the great battle could be halted in an instant.
Moreover, once Ye Fan ascended to the Upper Realm in the future, he would be able to directly enter the Dominant Force, the Suspended King Sword Sect.
There was a strong possibility that he would receive focused cultivation from the Suspended King Sword Sect. Given Ye Fan's extraordinary talent, everyone believed that once he joined the Suspended King Sword Sect, he would undoubtedly be valued and nurtured by them.
On the other hand, if Ye Fan refused...
Then when he ascended to the Upper Realm later on, as Sikong Shan had mentioned, he might face endless pursuit from a Dominant Force.
A newly ascended immortal being hunted by an Overlord-level power.
The outcome was easy to imagine.
"It seems we won't be fighting after all!"
In the distance, in the void, Four Ancestors said lightly.
Beside him, Baili Bo nodded and replied, "Indeed. Although Ye Fan's strength is extraordinary, if he offends Sikong Xianren to the core, the consequences after his ascension will be unimaginable."
Aotian's expression was slightly proud as he remarked, "To survive, one must compromise!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Currently, Ye Fan was facing a life-and-death decision.
It could be said that although Sikong Shan had given Ye Fan an opportunity to join the Suspended King Sword Sect, he was simultaneously threatening Ye Fan, forcing him to compromise today.
When Sikong Shan pointed at him, Nangong Xuandie, standing beside Wuma Xian'er, felt a jolt in her heart.
Her gaze turned to Ye Fan as she lightly clasped her fingers together, her expression revealing a hint of complexity.
She both hoped Ye Fan would agree and feared that he would.
Nangong Xuandie understood very well that if Ye Fan accepted Sikong Shan's demands, then upon ascending to the Upper Realm, as Sikong Shan had said, he would gain the protection of a Dominant Force. This would undoubtedly facilitate Ye Fan's growth and allow him to progress even faster.
Conversely, if Ye Fan refused, it could potentially bring enormous risks to his future.
Nangong Xuandie’s beautiful eyes quietly gazed at Ye Fan, much like Sikong Shan, waiting for his response.
However, upon hearing Sikong Shan's words, a smile instantly appeared on Ye Fan's face.
A threat—this was undoubtedly a blatant threat.
Indeed, in Ye Fan's view, Sikong Shan was using the Suspended King Sword Sect from the Upper Realm to intimidate him, trying to exert pressure.
But would Ye Fan be afraid of threats or seek protection from others?
Of course not.
In his past life, he was a being of great significance; he was the one who protected others. When had he ever needed to rely on someone else for protection?
"Is that all?" Ye Fan grinned as he looked at Sikong Shan.
"Is that all?" Sikong Shan frowned slightly. Was it not enough?
"Nothing at all." Ye Fan scoffed, his tone filled with disdain, clearly rejecting the threat.
"Ha..."
Sikong Shan took a deep breath, his expression instantly turning incredibly grim as he coldly looked at Ye Fan and said, "Since you insist on seeking death, then I shall have no choice but to fulfill your wish!"
Ye Fan dismissed him with a sneer. "If you have the strength, then go ahead and make your move. Stop just blowing hot air."
"Kill!"
Sikong Shan was thoroughly enraged, letting out a furious shout as the Dao Characters above the Celestial Diagram behind him suddenly became incredibly radiant.
The great Dao flowed, and the Celestial Diagram shone brilliantly.
Twelve Celestial Artifact-level Flying Swords all emitted a piercing sword cry in unison.
"Boom!"
An incredibly terrifying aura erupted from Ye Fan, an invisible force spreading directly from his body, the power of the Domain of the Origin Sky.
At the same time, the mid-grade Celestial Artifact Flying Sword hovering in front of him also became even more dazzling with Sword Light.
However, just as the two were about to strike, Nangong Xuandie’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Wait.”
Ye Fan and Sikong Shan both paused slightly, turning to look.
They saw Nangong Xuandie gracefully approaching, her long dress swaying and her hair flowing gently.
Her eyes first glanced indifferently at Sikong Shan, then fell on Ye Fan, revealing a hint of tenderness as she slowly spoke, “Ye Fan, earlier you killed Jin Xian who came to propose. Now that Sikong Xianren is willing to overlook past grievances and still wants me, I agree to become his woman.”
In the distance, those watching were all taken aback upon hearing Nangong Xuandie’s words.
They could only wonder how much of what she said was true and how much was false.
Even Wuma Changkong and others who were engaged in battle with Qing Shengyu were momentarily stunned.
However, he instantly understood that Nangong Xuandie likely said this to prevent Ye Fan from ascending to the Upper Realm and falling into danger.
"Good, as expected of a woman chosen by me, you understand the bigger picture and know how to make the right choice," Sikong Shan said, a strange laugh appearing on his face. His eyes, looking at Nangong Xuandie, were filled with intense desire.
"Sigh... women!"
Ye Fan sighed deeply, shaking his head in resignation.
He certainly understood why Nangong Xuandie suddenly stood up, but did she really have so little confidence in him?
Ye Fan looked at Nangong Xuandie with a hint of exasperation and said, "Just a moment ago, you wanted to share a room with me, and now you want me to hand you over to someone else."
"I'm sorry, but your agreement doesn't matter; it has to be my consent that counts."
"However, unfortunately for you, I, Ye Fan, do not agree!"
"Kill!"
With that, a surge of powerful energy erupted from Ye Fan's body, directly forcing Nangong Xuandie back into the distance.
Then he wielded his mid-grade Celestial Artifact Flying Sword and charged straight at Sikong Shan.
