Chapter 1148

Empress Empress Lingyuan had a tall and slender figure, and her glazed, star-like eyes were filled with cold indifference.

Such an aura fully displayed the demeanor of an Immortal Court female Young Emperor.

When they saw Within Jun Xiaoyao and Empress Empress Lingyuan walking out together.

Many of the surrounding prodigies watching the scene had a flash of strangeness in their eyes.

"Hiss, could it really be as the rumors say, that the Empress and the Jun Clan Divine Son have gotten together?"

"Looking at this appearance, even if they aren't an old married couple, it's not far off."

"I really envy the Jun Clan Divine Son; he has the two beauties of the Jiang Clan by his side, and can still be intimate with the Empress."

"Pfft, the Divine Son has looks, strength, and an unparalleled family background; he has the confidence and qualifications. Go look in a mirror—do you have them?"

Many of the surrounding Immortal Academy disciples were whispering, their expressions filled with envy.

And when Gu Dizi saw this scene, his eyes held coldness.

Although he had already guessed it, seeing it for real still made him feel extremely unhappy.

He had pursued Empress Empress Lingyuan for so long, yet Empress Empress Lingyuan had never given him a pleasant look.

Yet, she showed affection toward Within Jun Xiaoyao, who was from the opposing camp.

This caused the love in Gu Dizi's heart to gradually transform into a kind of unwillingness and resentment.

At this time, the man riding the Chi Dragon, the sixteenth of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, spoke indifferently.

"As the contemporary Young Emperor of the Immortal Court, we naturally dare not be disrespectful to the Empress."

Although the sixteenth said this, his tone appeared indifferent and arrogant.

The look in Empress Empress Lingyuan's eyes grew colder.

"So, none of you are going to get off your mounts?"

"Oh, apologies, it was our discourtesy."

The sixteenth, with a hint of a mocking smile, got off the Chi Dragon.

The other two also slowly got off their mounts.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding Immortal Academy disciples were surprised.

"These Eighteen Riders of Yanyun don't seem to be giving Young Emperor Empress Empress Lingyuan much face."

"That is to be expected; their master is the most mysterious and noble ancient Young Emperor of the Immortal Court."

"Compared to that person, even Empress Empress Lingyuan, this contemporary Young Emperor, has a lower status."

The sixteenth and the other two heard the surrounding people's tone and just smiled slightly.

Empress Empress Lingyuan turned to look at Gu Dizi, her expression carrying a hint of disgust.

At the very beginning, although she had been dismissive of Gu Dizi.

Gu Dizi was, after all, considered a peerless figure.

But now, the more Empress Empress Lingyuan looked at Gu Dizi, the more he seemed like a comical clown.

Let alone comparing him to Within Jun Xiaoyao.

He didn't even have the qualifications to be compared to Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"Did you bring them here?" Empress Empress Lingyuan looked at Gu Dizi, her eyes colder than ever before.

More aversion than she would have for a stranger.

"Empress Empress Lingyuan, you have misunderstood; this Emperor is merely here to watch the show."

Empress Empress Lingyuan's gaze made Gu Dizi feel even more unhappy.

But on the surface, he still smiled faintly, showing his composure.

Within Jun Xiaoyao just watched from the side, not saying a word.

In truth, Gu Dizi was no different from a clown to him now.

Watching him jump around was quite interesting.

Empress Empress Lingyuan scoffed at Gu Dizi's words.

It was nothing more than Gu Dizi knowing that Within Jun Xiaoyao had come to find her, which was why he pulled this stunt.

And Gu Dizi knew that if he came alone, Empress Empress Lingyuan would never pay him any mind.

So he came with three of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

"So what is the meaning of you coming to clamor before this palace's cave dwelling?" Empress Empress Lingyuan said impatiently.

The sixteenth said indifferently: "For no reason, just feeling that as the contemporary Young Emperor of the Immortal Court, the Empress should have the attitude of a Young Emperor."

"Young Emperor Empress Empress Lingyuan should know who should be seen and who should not."

The implication was that Empress Empress Lingyuan should not be meeting Within Jun Xiaoyao at all.

Hearing this, an inexplicable fire surged in Empress Empress Lingyuan's heart.

She spoke with a cold reprimand: "As the Young Emperor of the Immortal Court, this palace sees whoever this palace wants to see; do I need to follow your orders!"

Even if it weren't for Within Jun Xiaoyao, the sixteenth's attitude would have made Empress Empress Lingyuan angry.

Other surrounding Immortal Academy disciples also secretly shook their heads.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were indeed going a bit too far.

Although their master was that mysterious ancient Young Emperor.

Empress Empress Lingyuan, as a contemporary Young Emperor, did not have a low status either.

"That's right, what qualifications do you have to question Young Emperor Empress Empress Lingyuan!"

At this moment, a voice as crisp as a lark rang out from the crowd.

A dainty young girl dressed in a flowered silk dress appeared.

Her pretty face was fair, her eyes bright and intelligent, and her gaze was radiant.

Her dark hair was smooth and reflective.

It was none other than Wei Qianqian, the successor of the Jingwei Immortal Lineage, one of the nine great Immortal Lineages.

The other Immortal Lineage successors who were with her before included Cang Li of the Cangjie Immortal Lineage, Yao Qing of the Shennong Immortal Lineage, and Xing Lu of the Xingtian Immortal Lineage.

But they were all wiped out by Within Jun Xiaoyao during their training in the Borderlands.

However, at that time, Wei Qianqian did not participate in the siege, so she was unharmed.

Moreover, the Jingwei Immortal Lineage only followed the lead of the Wahuang Immortal Lineage.

Therefore, Wei Qianqian was naturally on the side of Empress Empress Empress Lingyuan.

"Whether we have the qualifications or not, are we wrong in what we said?" the sixteenth said coldly.

An Immortal Lineage successor was not enough to cause him any disturbance.

In his mind, only their master, the ancient Young Emperor, was the most noble and extraordinary existence in the entire Immortal Court.

Other Immortal Lineages, whether they were successors or seed-level figures, or even Empress Empress Lingyuan, this Young Emperor, could not compare to their master.

"If this palace says no, then what do you want to do? Attack this palace?" Empress Empress Lingyuan said coldly.

That was her personality.

Whoever dared to be aggressive toward her, she dared to be even more aggressive than them.

Of course, Within Jun Xiaoyao was the exception.

"That naturally wouldn't happen; after all, the Empress is a contemporary Young Emperor. We are just giving a reminder to be mindful of one's status," the sixteenth said.

At this moment, Empress Empress Lingyuan's expression was already very cold.

The sixteenth turned to look at Within Jun Xiaoyao and said: "Jun Clan Divine Son, you relied on external forces to kill the Ultimate Calamity, which can be considered as contributing to our Immortal Realm."

"However, it would be better for you to keep your distance from Young Emperor Empress Empress Lingyuan; after all, who knows if Young Emperor Empress Empress Lingyuan will be subdued by my master in the future."

Once these words were spoken, the entire world fell silent.

Everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were actually this bold, daring to say such things.

They had directly offended both Within Jun Xiaoyao and Empress Empress Lingyuan.

Gu Dizi's expression also changed slightly.

Could it be that the ancient Young Emperor really wanted to subdue Empress Empress Lingyuan?

However, he thought about it again.

Even if Empress Empress Lingyuan were subdued by the ancient Young Emperor, that would still be better than being subdued by Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"You..."

Empress Empress Lingyuan was so angry her face turned pale, and her pupils were trembling.

If it weren't for the fact that the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun had the ancient Young Emperor backing them.

She would definitely have slapped them to death.

Just as Empress Empress Lingyuan's delicate body was trembling with anger.

A warm palm rested on her fragrant shoulder.

Empress Empress Lingyuan turned her head and saw Within Jun Xiaoyao with a faint smile on his face.

This kind of smile was familiar, a bit dangerous.

It was the rhythm of someone dying!

Empress Empress Lingyuan's heart inexplicably settled down, feeling a sense of warmth.

Within Jun Xiaoyao had a faint smile on his face as he looked at the sixteenth and the others.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Sensing a trace of a dangerous aura, the sixteenth frowned.

However, the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy strictly forbade internal fighting, and they were followers of the ancient Young Emperor.

Therefore, he believed Within Jun Xiaoyao should not act recklessly.

"It's not that I want to teach you how to do things, I just want you to keep your distance from Young Emperor Empress Empress Lingyuan..."

The sixteenth had barely finished speaking.

When he was horrified to see a heaven-covering hand wreathed in chaotic energy directly suppressing them!

"Within Jun Xiaoyao, you dare!?"
