Chapter 2202: The Book of Heavenly Dao Appears Again

Upon arriving at Linglong Imperial City, he inquired with the guards in charge of the teleportation array and learned that, aside from Linglong Fairy, the two strongest titled divine kings in this city were Shangguan Yunwan and Baiye Qinghong.

The two were evenly matched, each ruling over their own domain and controlling their own territory.

Because of their beauty, countless experts had gathered under their command.

He had thought that such a shameless, openly snatching person would only be a top-tier divine king, but unexpectedly, it was this one!

One pill represented a divine king... This Pill King was even more valuable; if used well, he could at least add four or more divine kings to one's faction!

No wonder he spoke such words...

Even a titled divine king could not escape worldly concerns in the face of immense benefits.

Seeing that he knew her identity, Baiye Qinghong clasped her hands behind her back, like a queen, and said nothing. She looked down and saw the utterly weak Fu Jiangchen flying up unsteadily until he reached her.

Although his power was nearly exhausted, he had many pills on him. After swallowing one, he could barely manage to fly.

"Fu Jiangchen pays respects to Titled Divine King Baiye!"

He bowed with cupped hands, not daring to make any breach of etiquette.

Baiye Qinghong nodded lightly: "Since you're here, explain to everyone: did I ask you to refine this pill? Did I give you the medicinal herbs and the prescription?"

"This..." Fu Jiangchen's face stiffened. He turned to glance at Zhang Xuan, paused, and gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

"Master Fu, you..." Not expecting this man to speak for the other side, Zhang Xuan's face darkened.

Earlier he had called him Brother Fu, but now he changed to Master Fu.

"Master Zhang, this pill was indeed refined at the request of Titled Divine King Baiye. You should stop making a scene here..." Fu Jiangchen said.

"Making a scene?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head with a smile: "It seems that Linglong Heaven is bullying an outsider like me?"

He had brought the divine king grass and spent countless resources to refine this pill, and now they claimed it was someone else's...

This was truly calling a stag a horse, turning things upside down!

"How dare you! Titled Divine King Baiye, out of consideration for your merit in catching the pill, has not held your rudeness against you. Instead of being grateful, you spew arrogant words. Do you seek death?"

Fu Jiangchen shouted.

Just as Zhang Xuan felt his anger rising, he heard the other's voice transmission enter his ear.

"Brother Zhang, Titled Divine King Baiye has always been domineering. If you don't admit it, I'm afraid she will still make a move after you leave the imperial city. It's better to agree... If that doesn't work, I'll report to Titled Divine King Shangguan Yunwan and let her decide... But the two are evenly matched, and if this one insists on taking it, no one can do anything!"

"You mean I have to accept this and let her take my pill?" Zhang Xuan sneered.

"That's the only way. Cut your losses—you only lost a Pill King and still have four ordinary pills to use. If you keep pushing, I'm afraid... she'll turn hostile and make a move. Then you'll get nothing, and even your life might be in danger!"

Fu Jiangchen's tone carried some worry.

The common people should not contend with officials, let alone when the opponent was one of the rulers of this Linglong Imperial City, a titled divine king, nearly invincible below the Emperor level!

"What if I say... no?" No longer paying attention to Fu Jiangchen, Zhang Xuan raised his head.

Fu Jiangchen was a man of Linglong Heaven, so naturally he dared not contradict a titled divine king, but Zhang Xuan was not!

This woman before him was very beautiful, no less than Yu Fei'er or Hu Yaoyao, but he never expected that beneath that lovely face lay such shamelessness!

He had originally planned to keep a low profile wherever he went, but who knew... they wouldn't even allow him that!

Since that was the case... then let it be war!

Let everyone know...

I, Zhang Xuan, though I have only been in the Divine Realm for a little over a month, am not someone anyone can bully at will!

"Titled Divine King Baiye, is it?"

Having made his decision, he no longer showed any anxiety. With one hand behind his back, Zhang Xuan looked over, his gaze cold: "I'll give you one chance. Tell me the true origin of this pill—who does it belong to!"

"Knowing she's a titled divine king, he still speaks such arrogant words... Is this guy crazy?"

"He probably really is crazy..."

The observing divine senses flickered all around.

"I thought you had cultivated with difficulty and helped me catch the pill, so I have been courteous. What, do you think I care about my status and won't make a move against you? Or do you think I can't kill you?"

Baiye Qinghong's eyes narrowed.

As she grew angry, an invincible force surged out, covering the surroundings. The entire sky above the imperial city seemed to darken, and the air became thick and viscous.

Everyone in Linglong Imperial City felt immense pressure. Zhang Xuan, bearing the brunt of it, found it hard to breathe; the true energy in his body seemed frozen, as if he might fall from the sky at any moment.

If not for the support of the Divine King Sword in his hand, he probably would not have been able to hold on.

Such power—even a true divine king would find it hard to withstand.

A titled divine king—terrifying indeed!

The Heaven-If-Emotion true energy circulated again in his body, dispelling the pressure. Zhang Xuan exhaled and showed a look of regret: "I gave you a chance. Since you don't know how to cherish it, there's nothing I can do..."

"You don't know what's good for you!"

Seeing that this man still spoke such words even at death's door, Baiye Qinghong raised her eyebrows.

At a time like this, why was he still putting on airs?

A mere upper-grade heavenly god, an ant-like existence, dared to speak so arrogantly.

Her jade hand turned over, and just as she was about to teach him a lesson, her body suddenly stiffened. She immediately felt herself locked by an immense force, as if she were being targeted.

She quickly looked up and saw a golden book quietly floating above her head, beams of light enveloping and sealing off the entire area.

"What is this?"

Her pupils contracted.

This book above her head gave her a feeling of palpitations, as if she were locked down, unable to escape, let alone counterattack or fight back!

It was as if she were enveloped by the Heavenly Dao, with no room for rebuttal.

"Just a book."

Zhang Xuan shook his head.

He hadn't wanted to use this thing, but the other party was too shameless.

He had given her several chances, but she hadn't seized them—she deserved to die!

Although it might offend that Linglong Fairy, he couldn't care less now!

"Forcibly seizing and refusing to repent—no matter who you are, you are guilty! You deserve punishment!"

Too lazy to waste more words, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Boom!

The Book of Heavenly Dao emitted a sound like an avalanche as it descended from the sky.

"No..."

Baiye Qinghong had thought that dealing with an upper-grade heavenly god would be easy, that the other would not dare to talk back. She never dreamed he would directly produce such a powerful artifact. Her face turned pale.

She tried to resist, but felt intense pain. Under the crushing force of the golden book, her hand and arm shattered completely, unable to hold on even for a single breath.
