At that moment, there were surely no small number of people who—like Her Majesty and Chu Feng—found the introduction of Jin Shi Bo rather laughable.
But not a single one of them dared to show it.
On the contrary, many even wore expressions of eager ingratiating, as if they were looking for an opportunity to curry favor with Jin Shi Bo.
This was hardly surprising. After all, the Golden Stone Royal Clan was an overlord of an Upper Realm—a existence that even the Starfall Holy Land could not compare to, a colossus on the same level as the Chu Heavenly Clan.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Faced with such an ingratiating Jin Shi Bo, Xia Yun'er still returned the courtesy with a polite bow.
That was simply how Xia Yun'er was. Even toward people she didn't like, she would never openly show it.
"Miss Xia, it's too stuffy in here. There's nothing interesting."
"I'd like to invite you for a walk outside. I wonder if Miss Xia would be willing?"
As he spoke, Jin Shi Bo swept his gaze over Xia Yun'er with a lecherous look, his expression brimming with excitement.
"A walk? The way I see it, you just want to take advantage, don't you?" Song Yunfei said coldly.
As the Holy Son of the Starfall Holy Land, Song Yunfei had always regarded Xia Yun'er as his own future wife. How could he tolerate someone else trying to flirt with her right here?
"Who are you? I wasn't speaking to you. What gives you the right to interject?" Jin Shi Bo glared at Song Yunfei with great displeasure.
"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that you'd best stay away from my junior sister. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite." As Song Yunfei spoke, he released the aura of his Eight-rank True Immortal cultivation, pressing it toward Jin Shi Bo.
"Insolent!"
But at that very moment, the Grand Elder of the Golden Stone Royal Clan let out an angry shout. His robes billowed, and a vast, overwhelming pressure surged from within his body.
That pressure was so powerful that the instant it was released, every younger generation present—including Chu Feng—felt their hearts tighten. The sensation was practically like standing at the gates of hell.
"Eight-rank Martial Immortal."
At that moment, Chu Feng was almost certain that this Grand Elder of the Golden Stone Royal Clan was an Eight-rank Martial Immortal.
He had sensed that same aura before, from the Grand Elder of the Starfall Holy Land—Elder Tuoba.
An Eight-rank Martial Immortal was naturally formidable.
In the span of a single breath, his pressure shattered Song Yunfei's aura completely.
Yet he did not stop there. His terrifying pressure continued onward, bearing down on Song Yunfei itself.
He was actually preparing to make a move against Song Yunfei.
Hummm—
And yet, that overwhelming pressure ground to a halt before Song Yunfei.
"What is this?"
Chu Feng's eyes narrowed. He had sensed another Eight-rank Martial Immortal's aura—it was that pressure which had blocked the Grand Elder of the Golden Stone Royal Clan.
But Elder Xingyi and the gray-haired old man from the Ghost Sect Hall had clearly not made a move.
This meant there was yet another expert present.
Hummm—
Sure enough, the space in front of Song Yunfei rippled and twisted, and an elderly figure materialized.
It was an old woman. She had lived for at least ten thousand years. The deep wrinkles on her face clung tight against her bones, devoid of any trace of vitality. One glance at her was enough to send a chill down one's spine.
Her attire was very similar to Elder Tuoba's. Chu Feng guessed that she was likely also a Grand Elder-level figure of the Starfall Holy Land—presumably Song Yunfei's guardian, just as Elder Xingyi guarded Xia Yun'er.
"As an elder, making a move against the younger generation—that rather lacks decorum, wouldn't you say?" The old woman was not angry. She spoke in a calm, measured tone.
Although her appearance was somewhat frightening due to her extreme age, her temperament seemed quite gentle.
