Chapter 1620

When the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's figure appeared before everyone, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor and the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor's faces instantly turned grim.

They had thought this operation was foolproof, but they never expected the Nether Clan Old Ancestor to suddenly appear, throwing their entire plan into disarray.

Especially Bloodfall Star, he had meticulously planned this battle all along, yet he had not considered Luo Jiuyou as a variable.

Originally, he intended to use this opportunity to wipe out all who had come from the Haotu World in one fell swoop, dealing a heavy blow to their morale, but he never imagined things would develop to this point.

However, this cannot be wholly blamed on Bloodfall Star's mistake.

After all, no one could have foreseen that Luo Jiuyou would appear here and now, and become mixed up with the Haotu World.

This sudden turn of events rendered Bloodfall Star's original plan almost completely futile.

At this moment, another person full of doubts was the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's soul avatar.

He stood there with a bewildered expression, his heart filled with questions.

Originally, when he was summoned by Luo Jiuyou, he already felt very confused.

Because he had no idea that Luo Jiuyou had teamed up with the Haotu World, nor did he understand their cooperative relationship.

For the Nether Clan Old Ancestor, all of this was a sudden, inexplicable change—being summoned here out of the blue truly caught him off guard.

Just moments ago, when he saw the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor launch an attack at him, he didn't even have time to think about what was happening.

The situation was dire; he could only immediately act to block it.

However, now, when he came to his senses and saw the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor, and the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor before him, his doubts deepened further.

What is going on today? Why are so many familiar faces appearing here?

He couldn't help but wonder to himself: these old fogeys usually keep to themselves and rarely show up, yet today they've all gathered together, as if something important is happening.

This extraordinarily lively scene left the Nether Clan Old Ancestor utterly puzzled.

The Nether Clan Old Ancestor stepped forward, blocking Luo Jiuyou, turned his head toward her and asked.

"Little brat, won't you explain to this old man what's going on?"

Given the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's understanding of Luo Jiuyou, this is most likely the little brat's doing.

However, before Luo Jiuyou could speak, the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor let out a cold snort and said in an icy tone.

"Are you sure the Nether Clan wants to stand with the Haotu World?"

Huh???

Upon hearing that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor froze, his face showing bewilderment, his heart full of doubt.

He simply couldn't understand what the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor meant by that.

He had certainly heard of the Haotu World; after all, they've been rising in power lately, blazing like the midday sun!

But hearsay is hearsay—he had never actually had any contact with them before, so how did he suddenly end up standing alongside his own little brat?

Facing his ancestor's doubtful gaze, Luo Jiuyou gave an embarrassed smile, scratched his head, and said.

"Hehe, ancestor, it's not a big deal—I just thought the Haotu World was pretty good, so I formed an alliance with them for fun..."

Before he could finish, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's mouth twitched involuntarily; his gaze at Luo Jiuyou was filled with helplessness and speechlessness, even a hint of frustration at his inability to make him better.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and slowly spoke.

"Little brat, you're becoming more and more outrageous! Do you know what this means? Allying with other powers is no small matter! You dare to decide on your own and just play around?"

Luo Jiuyou, hearing this, quickly nodded and gave an apologetic smile.

"Ancestor, rest assured, I know my limits—the Haotu World has great potential; our alliance is a strong-strong partnership, all benefit and no harm."

The Nether Clan Old Ancestor glared at him and snorted coldly.

"Hmph, is that your excuse for acting on your own?"

As they spoke, Luo Jiuyou faintly heard the sound of fists being clenched, a soft crackling.

He shrank his head, silently cursing—this time he'd really made the ancestor angry; he'd have to be more careful from now on.

However, he doesn't regret allying with the Haotu World, after all Ye Zhangqing's food is truly delicious, and the people are not bad either.

Thinking of this, Luo Jiuyou's mouth involuntarily curled into a smile.

He glanced cautiously at his own ancestor, Luo Jiuyou said with a smile.

"Ancestor, believe me, allying with the Haotu World will definitely not be a loss—I guarantee it."

Seeing Luo Jiuyou thump his chest with a look of solemn assurance, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's face darkened.

He knows exactly what kind of temperament this little brat has—purely a case of a dog's mouth spitting out ivory (i. e., impossible to expect anything good).

"Do you think I believe you?"

"Ancestor, I'm speaking the truth...."

Luo Jiuyou wanted to explain further, but the next second the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor's angry shout rang out, cutting him off directly.

"Enough—I don't care what the Nether Clan means; step aside now, and I can pretend nothing happened."

Having said that, the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor's gaze locked firmly onto the Nether Clan Old Ancestor.

The original plan had been completely thrown into chaos by the appearance of many Nether Clan powerhouses, and the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor's anger burned ever brighter.

At this moment, he still had to watch Luo Jiuyou and her grandfather laughing and playing here, and his anger instantly erupted.

Facing the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor's angry stare, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor instead cracked a smile, his expression revealing a hint of coldness and mockery.

His eyes flickered with a dark light, seeming to be full of hostility toward the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor.

"Although this matter was that little brat's unilateral decision, compared to that, I still dislike you more!"

The Nether Clan Old Ancestor did not hide his attitude, his tone laced with obvious provocation.

As those words left his mouth, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's aura began to rise steadily, a powerful fighting spirit surging from within him, as if it wanted to break through the heavens.

His body was surrounded by thick spiritual energy undulations, forming gusts that howled outward in all directions.

Sensing the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's aura erupting, the Imperial Palace Old Ancestor also realized the other's choice.

Likewise unwilling to yield, an aura of the Ancestor Realm level burst forth in full force.

Two great Ancestral Realm existences stood far apart, their terrifying auras colliding in the air.

The surrounding space gradually twisted; that powerful aura made the place where the two stood completely become a Forbidden Land.

Even before making a move, the aura of the two Ancestral Realm powerhouses already gave people a feeling of suffocation.

Moreover, no one nearby dared to approach.

At this moment, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor, without turning his head, said to Luo Jiuyou.

"You little brat, I'll settle this with you later; I've blocked that old fellow for you—go ahead and do your own thing."

Hearing this, Luo Jiuyou grinned and said.

"Alright."
