The woman in white standing opposite is Fairy Zixia.

Fairy Zixia possessed exceptionally high aptitude in the path of cultivation, stepping into the Immortal Emperor Realm before the age of thirty. She was selected as a disciple by a master in the Biluo Realm, entering that realm for cultivation.

It could be said to be like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, soaring to great heights in one leap.

By rights, cultivators, especially those like Fairy Zixia with profound cultivation base, rarely concern themselves with worldly matters. Those with strong determination cut off ties with the mundane world, focusing solely on the pursuit of the Immortal Dao.

However, Fairy Zixia is nostalgic, and after all, the Yan Kingdom is her homeland, and Jingzhou is her hometown.

With the fall of the Yan Kingdom, Fairy Zixia could not stand by idly.

Yesterday, she used the Jade Wall to observe and saw that Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base was merely at the Seven Elephant Realm Stage of the Immortal King. She didn't pay it any mind, considering such a weak enemy leader insufficient to cause the complete downfall of Yan Kingdom. At the time, she even thought the Yan King was making a fuss over nothing,

But unexpectedly, the next morning, when she used the Jade Wall to observe the Yan Kingdom again, she discovered the whole kingdom had already fallen, with the imperial palace under Wang Xiaoqiang's control. Astonished, she descended to the lower realm.

Compared to the Immortal Realm, the Biluo Realm is a higher plane, an upper realm.

Cultivators from the upper realm are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the lower realm, or they would face divine retribution.

But Fairy Zixia did not want to see her homeland become a colony, moreover, she wanted to see if the leader of the Yellow Dragon Empire, Wang Xiaoqiang, truly possessed extraordinary abilities.

Thus, she descended to the lower realm.

This was Wang Xiaoqiang's first time confronting a cultivator in the Immortal Emperor Realm. Although Fairy Zixia did not release the pressure of her Divine Sense, he still felt suffocated.

It was a primal fear, and as fear arose in Wang Xiaoqiang's heart, the Holy Path of Courage within him shrunk instantly.

Wang Xiaoqiang's mind was alarmed, and he immediately shouted inwardly: Do not fear, be courageous!

While he was secretly bolstering himself, the Yan King's eyes flashed with a murderous intent, and he shouted once more, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you ungrateful scoundrel, why do you not kneel when meeting Supreme Fairy Zixia!"

Wang Xiaoqiang straightened his body proudly, saying, "In my life, I only kneel to my parents and never bow and scrape to others. I don't know what Supreme Fairy Zixia..."

Before Wang Xiaoqiang could finish speaking, Fairy Zixia released her Divine Sense, locking onto him. The pressure on his chest made the latter part of his words almost impossible to utter.

"Arrogant!" Fairy Zixia's face was icy, as if covered with a layer of frost. She coldly reprimanded, "Wang Xiaoqiang, I give you one hour to withdraw your troops from Yan Kingdom, or I will ensure you die with no place for burial."

"You ask me to withdraw my troops, and I should just comply because you say so? Who do you think you are!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, instinctively reaching out to wrap his arm around Princess Xiangxiang's waist.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang fearlessly confronting the immensely powerful Supreme Fairy Zixia, the Yan King was greatly surprised. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang holding Princess Xiangxiang's waist, the Yan King felt a sinking in his heart, realizing he intended to use Princess Xiangxiang as leverage. In a mocking tone, he said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, if you're a real hero, let go of my daughter and fight with me."

"You are not worthy." Wang Xiaoqiang not only did not release Princess Xiangxiang but also pulled her into his embrace, sneering at the Yan King: "Those who have knelt before me have no qualification to fight me!"

The Yan King was deeply shamed upon hearing this. He had a clear understanding of himself, knowing he was not Wang Xiaoqiang's match. Earlier, he was just bluffing, and now his gaze turned to Fairy Zixia.

Fairy Zixia's eyes turned cold as she commanded, "Release Princess Xiangxiang."

"She is my woman, why? Are you jealous!? Does our affection displease you?" Wang Xiaoqiang, finding himself braver in the face of danger, joked with Fairy Zixia. As his courage grew, the word "Courage" within him expanded.

Fairy Zixia could no longer bear it. With a wave of her sleeve, a burst of Immortal Qi was sent flying towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Whoosh!

The Immortal Qi transformed into a fierce wind, blowing directly at Wang Xiaoqiang, who felt the wind was carrying immense force, almost tangible. Startled, he held onto Princess Xiangxiang's waist and dodged backward.

Fairy Zixia, being in the Immortal Emperor Realm, could send him flying with just a wave of Immortal Qi, her strength overwhelming. He was helpless against it.

With Princess Xiangxiang in his hands, Fairy Zixia hesitated to attack decisively.

Indeed, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang using Princess Xiangxiang as a deterrent, Fairy Zixia dared not deploy her Immortal Techniques, but only chased closely,

The Yan King followed them, gritting his teeth, "Supreme Fairy Zixia, do not hesitate because of Princess Xiangxiang. Eliminate Wang Xiaoqiang."

Princess Xiangxiang was stunned upon hearing this, realizing the royal family showed no kinship. The Yan King was willing to sacrifice his daughter to eliminate the threat.

Being a woman, Fairy Zixia naturally didn't wish harm upon Princess Xiangxiang. As she chased, she said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, using a weak woman as leverage, what kind of hero are you!?"

Wang Xiaoqiang pulled Princess Xiangxiang behind him and said, "She is my woman, I cherish her too much to use her as a shield!"

Fairy Zixia was stunned, now unable to discern whether Wang Xiaoqiang's words were true, thus dared not rashly make a move.

The Yan King, intent on seeing Wang Xiaoqiang dead, grew anxious when he saw Fairy Zixia hesitating. He summoned a true dragon to launch a surprise attack on Wang Xiaoqiang from behind.

To him, his daughter's life was far less valuable than the kingdom.

The true dragon, to harm Wang Xiaoqiang, needed to pass through Princess Xiangxiang,

Princess Xiangxiang, only at the True Immortal Realm, would surely die if struck by the true dragon.

Seeing the true dragon bearing down with fangs bared, Wang Xiaoqiang did not use Princess Xiangxiang as a shield but rather pulled her back into his embrace, and with a thought, released the Holy Path of Courage,

The word "Courage" floated out, blocking behind them.

Boom!!

The true dragon collided with the word "Courage," and a blast of lightning erupted from the word. The true dragon was blown away by the lightning.

Although he knew Wang Xiaoqiang was strong, the Yan King was still shocked when his true dragon was repelled by the Holy Path of Courage.

Even Fairy Zixia was surprised, not expecting Wang Xiaoqiang to have comprehended the Power of the Sacred Dao. What shocked her even more was that Wang Xiaoqiang did not use Princess Xiangxiang as a shield but protected her behind him.

It seems this Wang Xiaoqiang is not a cold and emotionless person after all!

Fairy Zixia thought so.

The Yan King, seeing that Fairy Zixia still hadn't acted, anxiously said, "Supreme Fairy Zixia, you're unaware of the truth, don't be deceived by this scoundrel's facade,"

Fairy Zixia said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, release Princess Xiangxiang and withdraw your troops from Yan Kingdom, and I will spare your life."

Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "Fight if you must, why so much nonsense? Beat me and I will withdraw my troops."

"And if you order my withdrawal, should I comply? Who do you think you are to demand that?" Wang Xiaoqiang taunted, instinctively wrapping his arm around Princess Xiangxiang's waist.

The Yan King, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang undaunted by the might of Supreme Fairy Zixia, was greatly surprised and, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang grabbing Princess Xiangxiang's waist, felt a sinking in his heart. Knowing that Wang Xiaoqiang intended to use Princess Xiangxiang as a threat, he sneered coldly, "Wang Xiaoqiang, if you're a true hero, let my daughter go and fight me one-on-one."

"You are not worthy." Wang Xiaoqiang not only refused to release Princess Xiangxiang but also pulled her into his arms, giving the Yan King a scornful smile before retorting, "Someone who has knelt before me has no right to fight me!"

The Yan King was overwhelmed with shame upon hearing this. He knew full well that he was not a match for Wang Xiaoqiang, and just moments ago he pretended to be strong to rely on Supreme Fairy Zixia's might. At this moment, he turned his gaze to Fairy Zixia.

Fairy Zixia's eyes flashed coldly as she commanded, "Let go of Princess Xiangxiang."

"She's my woman, what? Are you jealous!? Are you not pleased seeing us so intimate?" Wang Xiaoqiang discovered that the more courageous he became in the face of danger, the stronger his Holy Path of Courage became, so he began to jest with Fairy Zixia, and indeed as his courage increased, the word "Courage" grew even larger.

Fairy Zixia could no longer endure it, waved her sleeve, and a gust of Immortal Qi was directed at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Whoosh!

The Immortal Qi transformed into a violent wind, blowing head-on towards Wang Xiaoqiang, who felt the wind wrapped around with great force, almost tangible, and, shocked, he embraced Princess Xiangxiang's waist and flew back to dodge.

Fairy Zixia is in the Immortal Emperor Realm, and just a gust of Immortal Qi can send him flying, her power is too immense for him to resist.

With Princess Xiangxiang in hand, Fairy Zixia would refrain from taking a deadly strike, wary of causing unintended harm.

Indeed, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was relying on having Princess Xiangxiang, Fairy Zixia dared not employ her Immortal Techniques more aggressively, only pursuing closely,

The Yan King also flew up to follow, gritting his teeth and saying, "Supreme Fairy Zixia, go ahead and eliminate this Wang Xiaoqiang, do not let Princess Xiangxiang hold you back."

Princess Xiangxiang was startled upon hearing this, realizing the House of the Emperor had no familial bonds. The Yan King, to eradicate his trouble, was willing to sacrifice his own daughter.

As a woman, Fairy Zixia naturally did not wish Princess Xiangxiang to be harmed. As she pursued, she said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, using a weak woman as leverage, what kind of hero are you!?"

Wang Xiaoqiang pulled Princess Xiangxiang behind him and said, "She's my woman. What? Are you jealous!? Can't stand our affection?" Discovering that the more courageous he became when facing danger, the more the Holy Path of Courage within him grew, Wang Xiaoqiang continued to banter with Fairy Zixia, and indeed, as his courage welled up, the word "Courage" grew larger.

Fairy Zixia could no longer bear it. With a wave of her sleeve, a burst of Immortal Qi flew towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Whoosh!

The Immortal Qi transformed into a fierce wind, rushing towards Wang Xiaoqiang. He felt the wind sweep towards him with astonishing force, almost tangible. Startled, he embraced Princess Xiangxiang by the waist and dodged backwards.

Fairy Zixia, being in the Immortal Emperor Realm, could easily blow him away with a single gust of Immortal Qi, her power overwhelmingly strong, rendering him powerless to resist.

With Princess Xiangxiang in his grasp, Fairy Zixia had to be cautious and couldn't strike decisively.

Indeed, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was using Princess Xiangxiang as leverage, Fairy Zixia refrained from using her Immortal Techniques, only pursuing him closely.

The Yan King also flew up after them, muttering between clenched teeth, "Supreme Fairy Zixia, you should just kill this Wang Xiaoqiang, don't let Princess Xiangxiang get in the way."

Princess Xiangxiang was startled upon hearing this, thinking to herself that the royal family indeed had no concern for family ties, and the Yan King was willing to sacrifice his daughter to eliminate a threat.

Being a woman herself, Fairy Zixia naturally didn't wish to see Princess Xiangxiang get hurt. As she chased, she said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, using a weak woman as leverage, what kind of hero do you think you are!?"

Wang Xiaoqiang, hearing this, held Princess Xiangxiang behind him and said, "She's my woman, so what? Are you jealous!? Or do you dislike seeing us being affectionate?" He noticed that the more courageous he became when facing danger, the more the Holy Path of Courage within him expanded, so he began to tease Fairy Zixia. Indeed, as his courage mounted, the "Courage" character expanded yet again.

Fairy Zixia couldn't stand it any longer. With a wave of her sleeve, a surge of Immortal Qi struck towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Whoosh!

The Immortal Qi transformed into a violent gust, rushing straight at Wang Xiaoqiang. Alarmed, he felt the force of the wind approaching with a tangible intensity, prompting him to hold onto Princess Xiangxiang's waist and evade by flying backward.

Being in the Immortal Emperor Realm, Fairy Zixia's single gust of Immortal Qi could send him flying, her power far too overwhelming for him to resist.

With Princess Xiangxiang in his grasp, Fairy Zixia would hesitate to strike with lethal force.

Indeed, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang relying on Princess Xiangxiang as a shield, Fairy Zixia refrained from using Immortal Techniques, only keeping up the pursuit,

The Yan King flew up after them, gritting his teeth and saying, "Supreme Fairy Zixia, unleash your fury on Wang Xiaoqiang, don't let Princess Xiangxiang hinder you."

Princess Xiangxiang was stunned upon hearing this and thought to herself, indeed, there's no family loyalty within the House of the Emperor. The Yan King was willing to sacrifice his daughter to eliminate his greatest threat.

Being a woman herself, it was only natural that Fairy Zixia did not want Princess Xiangxiang to come to harm. Chasing after them, she called out, "Wang Xiaoqiang, using a defenseless woman as a shield, what kind of hero do you think you are!?"

In response, Wang Xiaoqiang held Princess Xiangxiang even closer to his chest and said, "She's my woman, how about it? Are you jealous!? Or do you resent seeing our affection?" He realized that when he faced danger, the more courageous he became, the stronger the Holy Path of Courage within him grew. Taking advantage of this, he started to tease Fairy Zixia, and surely, as his courage surged, the "Courage" character within him expanded yet another notch.

Fairy Zixia could no longer endure it. With a wave of her sleeve, a wave of Immortal Qi surged towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Whoosh!

The Immortal Qi turned into a fierce wind, blowing directly towards Wang Xiaoqiang. He felt the wind carrying a massive force, almost tangible, that caught him off guard. Clutching Princess Xiangxiang's waist, he dodged backward.

This Fairy Zixia was in the Immortal Emperor Realm, and a single gust of Immortal Qi from her could blow him away with ease, her power excessively great, leaving him no strength to resist.

With Princess Xiangxiang in his arms, Fairy Zixia dared not strike forcefully, fearing unintended harm.

Sure enough, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang using Princess Xiangxiang as a shield, Fairy Zixia hesitated to use her Immortal Technique, only continuing her pursuit,

The Yan King also flew up, gritting his teeth as he flew beside her, "Supreme Fairy Zixia, just eliminate Wang Xiaoqiang. Don't let Princess Xiangxiang be a hindrance."

Princess Xiangxiang was taken aback by what she heard, thinking that indeed within the House of the Emperor, there was no room for familial love. The Yan King was willing to sacrifice his daughter to eliminate a threat.

Being a woman herself, Fairy Zixia naturally did not want any harm to come to Princess Xiangxiang. While chasing, she said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, by taking a vulnerable woman hostage as leverage, do you think you're some kind of hero!?"

Wang Xiaoqiang held Princess Xiangxiang protectively behind him, saying, "She is my woman, I care for her too much to use her as a human shield!"

Fairy Zixia paused, now unsure whether Wang Xiaoqiang's words were genuine or not, and hesitated to act recklessly.

The Yan King, set on Wang Xiaoqiang's destruction, became anxious seeing Fairy Zixia hesitating, immediately conjuring a True Dragon for a sneak attack on Wang Xiaoqiang from behind.

For him, his daughter's life paled in comparison to the value of the kingdom.

Princess Xiangxiang was directly behind Wang Xiaoqiang. For the True Dragon to harm Wang Xiaoqiang, it would have to barrel through Princess Xiangxiang,

With only a True Immortal Realm cultivation base, Princess Xiangxiang would be doomed if struck by the True Dragon.

Seeing the True Dragon charging furiously, Wang Xiaoqiang did not use Princess Xiangxiang as a shield but instead enfolded her protectively, and with a thought, unleashed the Holy Path of Courage,

The word "Courage" emerged and stood defensively behind.

Boom!!

The True Dragon crashed into the "Courage" character, its explosive lightning sending the True Dragon flying.

Although he knew Wang Xiaoqiang was formidable, the Yan King couldn't help but be shocked when he saw his True Dragon repelled by the Holy Path of Courage.

Fairy Zixia was also taken aback, not expecting Wang Xiaoqiang had comprehended the Power of the Sacred Dao. What surprised her more was Wang Xiaoqiang's decision not to use Princess Xiangxiang as a shield but to protect her behind him.

It seems Wang Xiaoqiang is not a cold and ruthless person!

Fairy Zixia thought thusly.

The Yan King saw that Fairy Zixia still hadn't attacked and anxiously said, "Supreme Fairy Zixia, you don't know the truth and must not be fooled by this scoundrel's facade,"

Fairy Zixia said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, release Princess Xiangxiang, withdraw your troops from Yan Kingdom, and I will spare your life."

Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "If you want a fight, then let's fight. There's no need for much talk. If you can defeat me, I'll withdraw my troops!"

"Supreme Fairy Zixia, kill him. If this son is not eliminated, the world will be plunged into misery and suffering!" the Yan King uttered venomously,

He understood clearly, if Wang Xiaoqiang did not die today, even if he withdrew his troops, once Supreme Fairy Zixia returned to the Biluo Realm, Wang Xiaoqiang would come to invade again. Supreme Fairy Zixia couldn't possibly descend repeatedly for the Yan Kingdom's affairs.

"Strike!" With a finger point, an Immortal Sword flew out of Fairy Zixia's sleeve, brimming with Immortal Qi, unparalleled in power, it flew towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Immortal Emperor slays dragons and ascends to the celestial, the term 'immortal' here refers to Immortal Qi.

Immortal Qi exists one level above Dragon Qi, allowing an Immortal Emperor to instantly kill cultivators below the Five Dragon Realm Immortal Emperor, their power extremely terrifying. Especially since Wang Xiaoqiang was merely at the Seven Elephant Realm Stage of the Immortal King.

And although Fairy Zixia's sword seemed unremarkable, it was actually driven by Immortal Qi, holding immense power—one stroke could take Wang Xiaoqiang's life.
