Chapter 834: The Alliance Leader’s Wrath

Qiu Hongjun caressed her belly, a smile appearing on her face and her eyes filled with pride: "This is a gift to me from the Vice Alliance Leader!"

A gift to you from the Vice Alliance Leader?

What does that mean?

Suspicion appeared on the faces of Gongyang Jin and Chu Aotian. They knew that the reason there were so many children here was that the Alliance Leader possessed an unknown special method to enhance the gestation of descendants' Spiritual Roots, but they didn't know this method came from Qin Changqing.

Nie Wushang, however, knew the truth. Hearing Qiu Hongjun say this, she was first stunned, then her expression changed slightly, her gaze falling on Qiu Hongjun's belly with a hint of gloom.

"Is what you're carrying in your belly also a Chaos Spiritual Root?"

Gongyang Jin asked, full of curiosity.

Chu Aotian, meanwhile, stroked his chin in thought, instinctively thinking of his daughter, Chu Kexuan.

His daughter seemed to be carrying the Vice Alliance Leader's child as well. He had found it strange that she had conceived in such a short time, and the child's Aptitude seemed excellent.

Hearing the question, the smile on Qiu Hongjun's face widened. She slowly shook her head and uttered four words: "innate divine fetus!"

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the other four changed, filled with disbelief.

Chu Aotian's voice rose an octave as he blurted out, "innate divine fetus? Are you joking? That's an Innate Deity! Can you really conceive an offspring with such Aptitude?"

Gongyang Jin was also full of disbelief.

Although they knew little of ancient secrets, they had learned a bit from Qin Changqing recently. Conceiving an Innate Deity was no easy feat; once they grew up, they would be powerful gods!

Was Qiu Hongjun currently carrying a future god in her belly?

Who would believe it?

If it were that easy, why hadn't a single god appeared in the Immortal Realm for so many years?

Of course, Qingyun Daoist and Namo were special cases and didn't count.

Nie Wushang's reaction was peculiar—equally shocked, but more so regretful.

She fully believed Qiu Hongjun's words because she was the first of the Four Saints to come into contact with the Changqing Alliance and the first to know the truth.

She had known for a long time that Qin Changqing could conceive offspring, but she hadn't had the courage to set aside her pride, only letting Madam Qing test the waters. Now, Madam Qing was already pregnant with two children.

Seeing that Qiu Hongjun had beaten her to it and was even carrying an Innate Deity, she felt as if a needle had been driven into her heart.

An Innate Deity… the Vice Alliance Leader could actually conceive an Innate Deity!

If she had put aside her unnecessary reservations sooner, would she be close to giving birth by now?

One step behind, always behind!

To be honest, Nie Wushang felt quite awkward at this moment, a sense of envy and jealousy arising that she couldn't dispel. It felt like a lump in her throat, leaving her speechless for a long time.

"You, you, you… come here and let this old man take a closer look!"

Gongyang Jin's eyes widened, and he began to stammer.

Chu Aotian's eyes flickered as he said, "Could it be that the strength and resilience you just displayed, exceeding your own limits, were because of this divine fetus?"

At these words, Gongyang Jin and Nie Wushang also realized, recalling the golden divine patterns that had appeared on Qiu Hongjun's belly.

Originally, Qiu Hongjun had indeed been suppressed by Chu Aotian, but later, her strength had suddenly surged because of the anomaly in her abdomen, allowing her to fight him on equal terms.

Since things had come to this, Qiu Hongjun naturally had nothing to hide. Her child's excellence was her pride, and she nodded in admission.

Gongyang Jin and Chu Aotian gasped, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

An innate divine fetus was actually so Heaven-Defying that it could manifest such terrifying effects while still in the womb?

Then what would happen once it was born?

Just then, a streak of light flashed rapidly from the distance and landed in front of the four. With his hands behind his back and a face as fair as jade, it was Qin Changqing.

"Vice Alliance Leader!"

Seeing Qin Changqing appear, the four hurriedly bowed respectfully.

Qin Changqing's expression was somewhat displeased. His gaze swept slowly across their faces as he asked, "You caused that commotion just now. Do you know that your recklessness has disturbed the Alliance Leader's quiet Cultivate?"

Although Gongyang Jin and Nie Wushang had joined forces to suppress the impact, Qin Changqing had eyes and ears everywhere. He had sensed it long ago and rushed over immediately after leaving Yang Jian's place.

He was indeed a bit unhappy.

My Changqing Alliance provides you with the best food and drink and protects your safety, yet you want to cause destruction here? Do you even respect me as your host?

Although the Changqing Alliance didn't have many rules, it wasn't without them.

Even though you are the Four Saints, you cannot be too insolent. Otherwise, what would happen if everyone acted like you?

Their hearts sank, and they looked at each other, panic flashing in their eyes.

So, the commotion here had actually disturbed the Alliance Leader's quiet Cultivate?

This was going to be trouble!

While they were nervous, they also felt a sense of relief.

This matter could be big or small. If the Alliance Leader himself had come, it would be hard to settle. But since only the Vice Alliance Leader was here, there should still be room for maneuver.

Adhering to the principle of sacrificing a Fellow Daoist rather than himself, Gongyang Jin pointed at Chu Aotian and Qiu Hongjun without hesitation: "Vice Alliance Leader, this has nothing to do with me. They caused it. I tried my best to stop them, but they wouldn't listen and insisted on having their way!"

Chu Aotian and Qiu Hongjun's expressions changed instantly, and they glared at Gongyang Jin with annoyance.

This old monster was as shameless as ever.

Qin Changqing found it a bit amusing. This old monster certainly knew how to protect himself; there was a reason he had survived until now.

However, this old monster was too irresponsible. He probably couldn't be trusted with any important tasks in the future.

"My Changqing Alliance kindly took you in, yet you fight here. Do you have any respect for the Alliance Leader?"

Qin Changqing spoke sternly, his tone even carrying a hint of a reprimand.

The four felt a bit uncomfortable. They were once the overlords of the Immortal Realm, and now they were being scolded like this by an Immortal King. They felt somewhat humiliated but remained silent.

Qiu Hongjun quietly looked up at Qin Changqing, biting her red lip.

Instead of feeling wronged or angry, she was full of admiration and infatuation.

The way Changqing is scolding me now is so domineering; I love it!

"The Vice Alliance Leader is right. I started this whole thing; it has nothing to do with them. If there's to be punishment, I, Chu Aotian, will take full responsibility!"

Chu Aotian took a deep breath, stepped forward, and cupped his hands.

Fighting in the Neon Light Realm could be seen as a minor personal grudge with little impact or damage, but on a larger scale, it was a blatant disregard for the Alliance Leader, not to mention disturbing his Cultivate. If pursued, it could even cost him his life.

One must know that the Alliance Leader was an incredibly powerful existence even among the ancient gods!

For an Immortal to disregard a god—if that wasn't seeking death, what was!
