Chapter 1300: Chapter 1289: I Came to Take Her Away
Xu Xiaoqing bit her lip gently, her pretty face stained with dried tears, her eyes filled with fear.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoqing couldn’t speak or move because her body was already bound by Tian Xuan using True Qi.
Tian Xuan looked at Xu Xiaoqing and said, “Young Miss, please forgive me. You were always the Young Miss of the Celestial Clan. Once you wear the Clan Leader’s crown, you will understand.”
Xu Xiaoqing desperately wanted to shake her head, but no matter how she tried to move, she couldn’t break free from the Great Elder’s restraints.
“The Clan Leader’s coronation ceremony officially begins!” The Great Elder announced loudly, “Next, I will place the Clan Leader’s crown on the successor, officially crowning the new Clan Leader!”
Although the Great Elder’s voice wasn’t loud, it resounded throughout the heavens and the earth with the support of True Qi.
The clan members who were watching immediately became excited, turning their gazes towards Xu Xiaoqing, eagerly waiting for the Great Elder to place the Clan Leader’s crown on her.
After speaking, the Great Elder slowly stepped towards Xu Xiaoqing, stopping in front of her. He then raised his hand, gently bringing the golden Clan Leader’s crown towards Xu Xiaoqing’s head.
In despair, Xu Xiaoqing closed her eyes, murmuring to herself, “Goodbye, Father, Sister, and… Ning Fan.”
“Hold on, I do not agree with this!”
Just as the Great Elder was about to place the crown on Xu Xiaoqing’s head, a thunderous voice boomed across the sky!
Xu Xiaoqing, who had her eyes closed, instantly opened them. She struggled to look up at the sky, only to see a figure standing in midair, his face icy cold like frost.
Upon seeing that familiar face, Xu Xiaoqing’s eyes immediately reddened, with crystal-clear tears swirling in her eyes.
“Ning Fan, you finally came!” Xu Xiaoqing murmured in her heart.
The spectators looked up at Ning Fan in the sky, filled with confusion.
“Who is this person? He doesn’t seem to be one of our clan!”
“Why is there an outsider at our Clan Leader’s coronation ceremony?”
“Where is the gatekeeping team? What are they doing? How did an outsider get in without anyone noticing?!”
…
The Great Elder raised his head to look at Ning Fan, eyes slightly narrowed, and said coldly, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
“My name is Ning Fan, and I’m here to take her home,” Ning Fan replied, pointing at Xu Xiaoqing, “Her name is Xu Xiaoqing, and she is not your Clan Leader’s successor. I’ve come this time to take her home!”
“Hmph, she is our Celestial Clan’s Young Miss!” Tian Xuan said nonchalantly while looking at Ning Fan, “If you wish to stay and attend our Clan Leader’s coronation, you are welcome. But if you are here to cause trouble, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
“Eldest brother, why waste words with this guy!”
The Third Elder below the stone platform was getting impatient. He glared at Ning Fan and said, “Youngster, daring to interrupt the Clan Leader’s coronation, you’re truly tired of living!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Elder leaped into the air, charging towards Ning Fan.
The Third Elder raised his palm, striking fiercely at Ning Fan. This strike carried immense force, pressing down on Ning Fan’s body.
Standing on the stone platform, Xu Xiaoqing was shocked to see the Third Elder’s fierce palm strike. She looked towards Ning Fan with worry, fearing he would be seriously injured by it.
Xu Xiaoqing wanted to warn Ning Fan, but her body was bound by Tian Xuan, preventing her from speaking. She could only silently pray for him in her heart.
Ning Fan, watching the incoming strike, narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted coldly, “Hmph, break it for me!”
As soon as he spoke, Ning Fan raised his palm, casually striking at the Third Elder’s attack.
Although Ning Fan’s palm strike seemed relaxed, it contained full power.
Bang!
Ning Fan’s palm clashed fiercely with the Third Elder’s, resulting in an explosion and a loud bang.
Ning Fan’s body swayed slightly before stabilizing, while the Third Elder’s body was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a large crater.
The Celestial clan members watching were shocked to see the fallen Third Elder, knowing well that his strength was at the Early Stage of the Aerial Mastery Realm, a top level within the clan!
Yet they could not believe the Third Elder couldn’t withstand even a single move from this mysterious young man!
“What kind of strength does this person have? Not even the Third Elder is his match?!”
“No way, he knocked down the Third Elder with just one strike? How strong must he be?”
“So young, yet already possesses the power of the Aerial Mastery Realm? Impossible! Such talent is terrifying!”
…
The Third Elder, climbing up from the ground, was so enraged by the surrounding discussions that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Third Elder’s aura was somewhat weak. Although he lost to Ning Fan just now, he wasn’t really injured, only his inner True Qi was disturbed by the explosion, causing some internal churn.
“Old Third! Are you alright?” As the Third Elder was adjusting the True Qi and blood flow within his body, the Second Elder approached, asking with concern.
“I’m fine.” The Third Elder shook his head, exhaling deeply, “Second Brother, this kid is tricky! It seems he won’t be easy to defeat.”
“I know.” The Second Elder nodded slightly, acknowledging.
The Second Elder wasn’t particularly strong either, being just slightly above the Early Stage of the Aerial Mastery Realm, similar to the Third Elder, with only a slight edge.
“Second Brother, let’s join forces to deal with this youngster!” The Third Elder, feeling a bit humiliated from the earlier encounter, wanted to regain his honor now.
“Alright!” The Second Elder nodded, not daring to be overconfident. He knew that to securely defeat Ning Fan, they had to join forces!
Ning Fan ignored the Third Elder he had knocked away and turned his attention to Tian Xuan on the stone platform, coldly saying, “Hand over Xiaoqing to me; otherwise, I’ll turn the whole Celestial Clan upside down!”
“Hmph, what arrogance!” Tian Xuan snorted coldly, “Youngster, don’t be so cocky! Don’t think that reaching the Aerial Mastery Realm makes you invincible!”
“Heh, I don’t consider myself invincible, but in your Celestial Clan, there’s no one who can defeat me!” Ning Fan looked at Tian Xuan, replying calmly.
“Kid, say that again!” Just as Ning Fan finished his words, the Third Elder’s voice, filled with anger, reverberated.
