From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Fang Ren continued, "You can debate Sword Dao with me, because that\'s what I ridiculed – your Sword Dao. You can also debate Cultivation Level with me; however, I never ridiculed your Cultivation Levels.

If Brother Song insists on bringing up Cultivation Level, then in my view, it\'s just because Brother Song knows he\'s not qualified to discuss Sword Dao with me and can only use Cultivation Level to pressure me."

Upon hearing this, Song Mobei\'s indifferent expression remained unchanged as he spoke, "Regardless of how Young Master Fang tries to quibble today, I, Song Mobei, am going to stand up for my Sect."

With that said, the True Qi within Song Mobei suddenly surged, and golden Sword Qi danced wildly in the air, spreading from the interior of the venue directly to the outside.

"General Song debates Cultivation Level with an Alchemist; doesn\'t that feel shameful?"

It was then that Mu Huanqing, who had been standing protectively in front of Fang Ren, spoke up. Her own silver brilliance also erupted, and today if Song Mobei dared to target Fang Ren, she was prepared to cripple him on the spot!

"Lady Xuan, I really don\'t understand what your relationship with Young Master Fang is," Song Mobei said. "Firstly, intervening in a duel between two people was indeed wrong of me, and as the embodiment of justice, you were right to save Young Master Fang\'s arm. But now, with the friction between Young Master Fang and me, if Lady Xuan intervenes again, it would be meddling too much."

Upon hearing this, the crowd also started discussing amongst themselves.

"Indeed, when Madame Xuan previously helped Young Master Fang, it was to ensure absolute fairness and served as a warning to Brother Song for interfering in a duel. But now that the duel is obviously over, for Madame Xuan to stand between them again seems like overstepping," someone said.

"That\'s right, the friction between Young Master Fang and the Tiandao Sword Sect is their business—how they want to resolve it and who has the stronger force is up to them. Madame Xuan shouldn\'t be involved in ensuring fairness at this point," another person added.

"And the most important point is, as the human embodiment of unity, Madame Xuan should be unbiased, shouldn\'t show preference to either side. If she continues to protect Young Master Fang at this juncture, it will seem excessively biased.

More seriously, it could lead to significant dissatisfaction within the Tiandao Sword Sect, which might result in their bearing a grudge against the Tianjiang Fang Family. This is not conducive to human unity. Madame Xuan should not stop this matter from unfolding," someone else stated.

...

Mu Huanqing listened to the surrounding discussions, her face cold and unchanging.

Yes, as the symbol of humanity united against the Void, everything she did should be for the benefit of humanity. She could not take any action that wouldn\'t serve the unity of humankind, nor could she be biased toward any human faction.

However, she was no longer just the Nine Heavens Profound Lady; she was also the wife of Fang Ren, mother to his child. If her identity as the Nine Heavens Profound Lady became a barrier between her and Fang Ren, she would throw it away without hesitation.

"Lady Xuan, please step aside. This matter concerns our Sect and Young Master Fang," Song Mobei said, sneering inwardly as he listened to the people around him.

He thought that with so many people speaking for him, and with his arguments being seemingly reasonable, Mu Huanqing would have to leave. However, what she did next took him completely by surprise.

All at once, the aura around Mu Huanqing surged tremendously, and her pupils began emitting silver light. Above her head, a spear flew out from amongst the Hundred Martial Divine Weapons.

This was her weapon of choice.

Clang—

With her long spear flipping in hand, Mu Huanqing pointed directly at Song Mobei across from her and said in a very loud voice, "What if I decide to handle today\'s matter myself!"

Hum—

Without hiding the strong oppressive force in her aura, she exerted it on Song Mobei, who was in the mid-phase of the Xuanyang realm, in front of tens of thousands of people.

In an instant, Song Mobei felt as if a vast and huge mountain pressed down upon him, and his body involuntarily bent slightly. The golden radiance he had just released retracted back into his body like a tide at this moment, leaving only Mu Huanqing\'s sacred silver glow shining in the sky above the venue.

Seeing this, Fang Ren, standing next to Mu Huanqing, looked at the silhouette of his wife and felt a sudden surge of complex emotions. Although most of these were warm, there was some embarrassment for him as a man to be protected like this by his wife...

But this feeling of embarrassment was soon cast aside, as he suddenly realized something significant — not everyone had such a good wife as he did.

It is said in the path of Cultivation that luck and destiny are a part of one\'s own strength. Isn\'t his wife also like this? Having such a strong wife, in his view, was indeed a part of his own strength.

The cold expression on Song Mobei\'s face finally wrinkled into a frown, as he never expected Mu Huanqing would dare to do something so contrary to her status and sense of responsibility for the sake of Fang Ren.

"Lady Xuan, what exactly is the meaning of this?" Song Mobei\'s voice was full of anger.

"My intention is very clear."

Mu Huanqing pointed her long spear at him, her voice still very loud and pleasing, "Today, here, no one is allowed to touch Fang Ren. If anyone wishes to challenge him, they\'ll have to challenge me first."

Song Mobei\'s entire face instantly darkened. Mu Huanqing was defying him openly! He still had no idea where he had made an enemy of Mu Huanqing!

Or was it that there was some unspeakable secret between Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing?

"Enough."

Just at that moment, the Family Head of the Bai Family, who was seated in a special area, suddenly stood up and said to Song Mobei in the center of the venue, "This place is the venue for the Alchemy competition today, and no one is allowed to duel here. A farce has already taken place just now, and there should not be a second one!"

Mu Huanqing glanced at Bai Chaojin, then withdrew her Spirit Form, and the silver radiance that had spread across the sky instantly returned into her body.

However, she didn\'t go back to her seat but looked at Song Mobei and said, "General Song, if you wish to challenge Young Master Fang in the future, you better hope I don\'t find out. Otherwise, I might just challenge General Song first."

The few short sentences spoken weighed on Song Mobei like a tremendous mountain.
