<h4>Chapter 2204 Reunion with an Old Friend!</h4>


    He had witnessed the strength of the Conferred God Kings with his own eyes, and it had been shown that the golden page was more than enough to curb them.


    However, the energy that was gathering in the sky was even stronger than that of a Conferred God King. Just like the massive sun in the sky, it felt like an imposing and otherworldly force that mortals could not hope to oppose.


    There was only one possibility for such a situation to ur, and that was for a God Monarch to have gotten involved!


    It seemed like the Sky of Linglong’s Fairy Linglong was still quite involved in the affairs of her territory. She could not resist making a move after seeing her Conferred God King getting killed.


    “Her Sovereignty?”


    Fu Jiangchen and the others also noticed the anomaly, and their faces warped in horror. They quickly lowered themselves to the ground and bowed their heads downward, not daring to raise them in the least.


    Shangguan Yunwan also kneeled to the ground, but her tensed face was swiftly reced with relief.


    Her heart would really be chilled if their God Monarch was able to remain nonchnt after watching a Conferred God King getting killed in their territory.


    Hong long long!


    The umted energy swiftly morphed into a massive face that loomed over the entire sky, as if the sun.


    Instead of appearing in person, Fairy Linglong sent a sliver of her will down instead.


    “I never thought that there would be someone so audacious as to kill my Conferred God King!”


    Fairy Linglong’s voice pierced right into one’s soul, leaving one with a looming feeling of helplessness.


    The massive head above was just a sliver of the God Monarch’s will, but it was already far beyond what a mere high-tier Celestial God like him could deal with.


    “Receive your punishment!”


    Zhang Xuan knew that there was a good chance he would be killed once Fairy Linglong made her move, so he quickly channeled the golden page, which had depleted half of its energy but had not vanished after subduing Baiye Qinghong, to strike the massive face in the sky instead.


    The massive face in the sky harrumphed. “You overestimate yourself!”


    Pop!


    The golden page abruptly vanished into thin air, as if it had never even appeared.


    The trump card that allowed him to defeat a Conferred God King so easily could not even withstand the mere will of a God Monarch!


    Zhang Xuan’s body stiffened upon seeing such a sight.


    He had thought that even if he could not wound Fairy Linglong, he would still be able to hinder her for a moment. Who could have known that he would not even be able tost a single breath?


    He still had another golden page in his Library of Heaven’s Path, but given the circumstances, he did not dare use it recklessly.


    “It’s the privilege of the young to act recklessly, but excessive arrogance is a huge taboo,” the massive face remarked as it gazed down on Zhang Xuan.


    Zhang Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.


    He quickly raised his God King Sword and executed his strongest sword art.


    Before his sword qi could get far, it had started unraveling by itself. The next instant, he felt a stabbing pain in his arm before the God King Sword was knocked out of his grasp. Following that, a powerful impact struck his chest, causing him to fall to the ground severely wounded.


    Tzzz!


    The golden threads in his muscles swiftly repaired his wounds.


    “You are stronger than I thought...”


    The massive face was a little surprised to see that Zhang Xuan was able to withstand its attack. It began to reassess him once more before speaking. “As a God Monarch, I shan’t take advantage of your weakness. I can spare your life, but punishment is inevitable. Despite only being a high-tier Celestial God, you arrogantly killed my Conferred God King in my own territory, not showing the slightest regard for me. If I condone such an atrocity, our Sky of Linglong will be looked down on by others!”


    Then, with a powerful voice, it proimed, “I hereby dere that you will be stripped of your cultivation!”


    Boom!


    Zhang Xuan swiftly found a powerful force wrapping itself around him, and the zhenqi within his dantian began to dissipate as if someone was sapping it out of his body.


    “This...”


    rmed, Zhang Xuan tried to resist the force, but he found himselfpletely powerless.


    It was as if Fairy Linglong’s words had turned into aw of the world, leaving him unable to even struggle.


    Am I really going to meet my end here? No... So what if she’s a God Monarch? I won’t be killed that easily!


    Gritting his teeth, Zhang Xuan was just about to bring out his final golden page to deal with the massive face in the sky when the force around him suddenly scattered.


    Raising his head, he saw a round orb spinning nonstop between him and the massive face. Along with its revolution, the space in the area seemed to freeze in ce.


    Even the powerful might of a God Monarch was unable to bypass the spatial maniption of the orb.


    “This is...” Zhang Xuan was stunned.”... the Dimension Silencer?”


    The orb was none other than the hereditary treasure passed down within the Luo n and currently in Luo Qiqi’s possession... the Dimension Silencer!


    Luo Xuanqing had told him that shortly after he departed from the Master Teacher Continent, Luo Qiqi had left as well. He had thought that thetter might have gone to the Azure, but despite having tasked the Six Sects with searching for her, there had been no news whatsoever.


    As such, he had suspected that she might have gone to the Firmament. So, he had instructed the Six Sects to continue looking for her and take care of her well if they found her while he headed up to the Firmament


    After he arrived at the Firmament, he had also heard some news that suggested that she might actually be there. That being said, he had never expected her to suddenly appear at this moment to protect him from the attack of a God Monarch!


    The massive face in the sky was also taken aback by the sudden intervention.


    With a displeased voice, it questioned, “Qiqi, what are you doing?”


    Hu!


    The Dimension Silencer quivered a little before morphing into the form of a beautifuldy. The beautifuldy sped her fist and said, “He is the person whom I like. Your Sovereignty, I ask of you to show him mercy!”


    She was none other than Luo Qiqi.


    It had been several months since they hadst met, but she was still the same as the quiet and gentledy in his memories. When she turned around to look at him, he could see a hint of anticipation mixed together with manyplex emotions.


    Even though she appeared to be the same as before, her strength far surpassed what it used to be. Taking a closer look, she was actually at God King realm pinnacle, just like Fu Jiangchen!


    Zhang Xuan had been perplexed for a long while about why the Anima of Yearning he had collected suddenly increased so much, but thinking about it now, her sentiments probably yed a huge part in that.


    A God King realm pinnacle Dimension Silencer...


    In terms of fighting prowess, she was definitely far stronger than Fu Jiangchen. Perhaps she might even be able to rival Baiye Qinghong in a fight.


    Seeing how the youngdy unhesitatingly threw herself before a God Monarch for his sake, he could not help but clench his fists tightly


    “My feelings for you... aren’t just at the level of like,” Luo Qiqi said with a slightly bittersweet smile.


    Then, she turned to the massive face in the sky and sped her fist. “He... is the person I like. Your Sovereignty, I ask of you to spare him!”


    Seeing this, Zhang Xuan could not help but recall how the youngdy had once turned against her own n for his sake, and it felt like history was reying itself yet again.


    This was a sentimentality he had never really been able to understand. Not once had he given her any promise or any hope, but despite that, she was still willing to toss aside everything else for him every time.


    It made him feel both grateful and guilty.


    “The person whom you aren’t able to forget about... is him?” the massive face asked doubtfully. “But he doesn’t have any feelings for you. I can see from his eyes that there is already someone else in his heart. Qiqi, is it worth it for you to turn against me for someone who doesn’t even like you?”


    Somehow, those words felt like advice from one friend to another.


    “I don’t know... But as long as he’s safe...”


    Standing right before a God Monarch, Luo Qiqi’s face did not have much emotion on it, just her unyielding determination.


    “... that would be enough for me!”
