Chapter 2566: Old Hou, What’s the Rush?

Actually, the main reason they could agree so readily was that Xiao Fan's notoriety was far too great.

Better to offend a gentleman than a villain!

In their eyes, Xiao Fan was definitely a powerful villain; looking at the fate of those who opposed him, did any of them have a good ending?

With Xiao Fan's current strength, let alone calling him Saint Emperor, even if they were told to call him grandfather… every one of them would have to do so politely.

"Saint Emperor Xiao, your proposal is wonderful. With you in the future, the Hongtian Star Domain will be at peace!"

"Indeed, Saint Emperor Xiao, you are truly great!"

"…"

Strong cultivators continuously offered compliments, making Xiao Fan quite happy; his mood was good, and the plan was proceeding very smoothly.

These Tatian Realm old fellows usually never showed their faces, let alone dared to act lightly, but Xiao Fan had no such concerns.

The Old Ancestors of the Three Great God Clans didn't dare to act rashly now, and Emperor White Bone had ended up in such a state.

Why wouldn't Xiao Fan take this opportunity to help Nine Heavens rapidly increase its power?

"Very good, everyone…" Xiao Fan nodded with a smile and looked around.

Ye Miaoyin, Zhangsun Ning, Nangong Lingxuan, Hu Rui, the Demon Emperor, Lan Zhanque, Yu Qiongyao, and others were all present. At this moment, the women all wore joyful smiles; they had originally thought Xiao Fan's actions would cause dissatisfaction among the experts of various factions, but they hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

Not only were these faction experts not dissatisfied, but they were all in full agreement…

Among them, the Wanwu Realm Old Ancestors of the Ancient Barbarian Clan, the Sword Sect, and the Dragon Palace Hall all breathed a sigh of relief.

If things concluded smoothly, they might even find a blessing in disguise and have all their grievances with Xiao Fan resolved.

If that were truly the case, it would naturally be for the best…

…

"Saint Emperor… this boy is arrogant!"

"Yes, for hundreds of thousands of years, the Hongtian Star Domain has never seen a figure like a Saint Emperor!"

"This Xiao Fan… what exactly does he intend to do?"

"Saint Emperor, how interesting…"

"…"

At this moment, outside Nine Heavens, several Tatian Realm experts were hidden in the shadows, gazing at the Divine Temple's main hall from afar, each with a different expression.

For experts of their caliber, even without entering the Divine Temple's main hall personally, they could still understand everything happening inside clearly.

"Yang Yun, this boy is even more arrogant than you described…" Qian Daoling looked at Yang Yun and said calmly.

For some reason, Qian Daoling felt an inexplicable sense of disgust toward Xiao Fan in his heart. This feeling was strange and indescribable, making him wonder why he felt this way.

"Hehe… he is a bit arrogant, but he's a young man after all; he still respects his Seniors." Yang Yun smiled bitterly. He knew the truth—that Xiao Fan had previously impersonated Gan Deng and provoked Qian Daoling—but Qian Daoling was still being kept in the dark.

"Indeed, it's normal for a young man with some strength to be a bit arrogant…" Nearby, another Tatian Realm expert spoke slowly, "As long as he respects his elders, it proves that this Xiao Fan is not bad."

"Humph, I hope so." Qian Daoling snorted coldly and didn't speak further.

These Tatian Realm experts stayed in the shadows year-round and didn't care about the layout of the Hongtian Star Domain; they were merely avoiding going to the Heavens Battlefield.

They were worried that if they went to the battlefield, they would lose their lives.

As for what kind of waves Xiao Fan stirred up in the Hongtian Star Domain, what did it have to do with them?

…

Inside the Divine Temple.

Xiao Fan looked into the distance and grinned. If those Tatian Realm experts could see what was happening in the Divine Temple, how could Xiao Fan not sense them?

Since Xiao Fan had made such a big stir, it was only natural for those Tatian Realm experts to come and observe.

"Interesting…" Xiao Fan murmured.

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan… can you give me the things you promised today?" At this moment, an abrupt voice rang out in the hall, causing everyone to startle and turn their heads to look.

Hou Yangbiao's figure suddenly appeared within the Divine Temple.

Upon seeing Hou Yangbiao, the experts who knew his identity were all deeply shaken; this was a Tatian Realm expert!

"Hehe… Old Hou, what's the rush?" Xiao Fan chuckled indifferently.

"How can I not be in a rush? Big brother, it's been half a year… half a year!" Hou Yangbiao said with a pained expression.

It wouldn't have been so bad if he had just stayed in Nine Heavens for half a year, but the problem was Xiao Fan's children. They would come to spar with him every few days, leaving Hou Yangbiao extremely annoyed.

If he didn't act as their sparring partner, they would bring up the saint-grade artifacts… threatening that if he didn't spar, those Magical Artifacts wouldn't be given.

Hou Yangbiao was furious, but in the end, he was helpless and could only obediently act as a sparring partner.

When had he, a Tatian Realm expert and one of the top powerhouses in the Hongtian Star Domain, ever fallen to such a state?

It would be a wonder if Hou Yangbiao were satisfied in his heart.

"Alright, rest assured, I won't go back on what I promised you…" Xiao Fan said calmly. With a flash from his storage ring, three saint-grade artifacts appeared.

Seeing these saint-grade artifacts, Hou Yangbiao's spirit immediately lifted… he was almost drooling.

Meanwhile, the Wanwu Realm Old Ancestors of the Ancient Barbarian Clan, the Dragon Palace Hall, and the Sword Sect all turned pale… because the three saint-grade artifacts Xiao Fan produced were exactly the saint-grade artifacts of their respective factions!

"Take them…" Xiao Fan said indifferently, tossing the three saint-grade artifacts to Hou Yangbiao.

"Alright! Excellent!!" Hou Yangbiao caught the saint-grade artifacts and was immediately overjoyed, overcome with excitement.
