The Rumors Are True!

Looking at this magnificent and majestic scene, Xiao Muling clicked her tongue. 'Using three Heaven-ranked Golden-Eyed Pegasi to pull a chariot is truly a waste! Even if a Summoner specially summons it, it would be difficult to summon such high-level Golden-Eyed Pegasi.

'According to the book, Golden-Eyed Pegasi are snow white without any impurities, which means that their bloodline is the purest. This kind of Golden-Eyed Pegasus can't be typically seen or summoned!

'Who is the person inside the carriage? What a lunatic!' As Xiao Muling thought about this, everyone around her cupped their fists and bowed.

"Greetings, Your Highness King Regent!"

"Greetings, Your Highness King Regent!"

"Greetings, Your Highness King Regent!"

...

There were clearly not many people present, but the scene of worship made people feel incomparably majestic!

At this moment, it was as though the scene of tens of thousands of people kowtowing appeared before their eyes!

'King Regent!?' Surprise flashed across Xiao Muling's eyes as she stared at the carriage that stopped on the horizon. 'The person in the carriage… is that Regent?'

It was rumored that Archean Spirit Kingdom's past emperor wanted to pass the throne to the Regent before he died, but the Regent coldly refused with the word 'no.'

Although Archean Spirit Kingdom was small, the throne was also a sovereign's seat. However, the Regent didn't care at all.

It was said that no matter how fierce Archean Spirit Kingdom's overlord was, no matter how strong a powerful expert was, and no matter how awesome a Summoner was, they were like sheep in front of him.

Xiao Muling blinked and looked to the side.

These people—who were extremely domineering after entering—immediately became very respectful when the Regent arrived.

'The rumors are true! But wasn't it said that the Regent didn't go out easily and that one could count the number of times he went out in a year? What is he doing here at the Xiao family's residence? Could it be because of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox?' Xiao Muling suddenly thought of Luo Xuanshuang's purpose in coming here. Coupled with the nagging of these people, she made a bold guess.

Amidst her shock, Xiao Muling realized that other than her, Xiao Canglan and Luo Xuanshuang didn't bow like the rest of them.

Staring at the carriage, Xiao Muling clicked her tongue and recalled the rumors about the Regent. Immediately after, she pictured a man who was as fierce as a wild beast, eating raw meat and drinking fresh blood as he sat calmly atop the mountain of bones.

It wasn't that she imagined these things, but rather, the rumored Regent was like this.

A simple word came from the carriage, but it didn't lose its prestige. "Stop."

'His voice… is really nice! Also, this voice is full of vigor and is just right.' Hearing this voice, Xiao Muling felt that the person in the carriage was different from the rumors. She was deep in thought, but her expression didn't reveal it; she remained indifferent as usual.

"May I know why His Highness, the Regent, has come to the Xiao family today?" Xiao Canglan walked out with a straight back.

When the people around heard this, they snorted coldly in their hearts. 'What else can we do? It's said that a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox had appeared in the sky above the Xiao family residence, but Xiao Canglan refuses to admit it. Now, even the Regent has come.'

"I heard that Xiao Mansion was quite lively today, so I came to take a look." Those indifferent words seemed to be saying that they had nothing to do with each other.

Xiao Muling lowered her eyes and laughed coldly in her heart. 'The Regent usually never goes out, but he came to take a look when he only heard that the Xiao family residence was lively. He must be bored, but it's obvious that he has the same reason as everybody else for being here.

'Why did the matter of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox suddenly blow up? Not many days have passed. At that time, it was fine. The next day, it was very peaceful as well. After a few days, there was a commotion.'

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura descended from the sky, scaring the people around him.

"You must be joking, Your Highness. We're just here to have a seat, nothing else," He Qin hurriedly replied.

"That's right." The person beside him nodded but didn't dare to raise his head.

Everyone present was an expert. Similarly, they held power in their hands. They weren't afraid of the royal family or the emperor; they were only afraid of the Regent!

They could strut around, hold their heads high, and run amok in Archean Spirit Kingdom! But once the Regent appeared, they wouldn't dare to do anything.

It wasn't just them. Nobody in the entire Archean Spirit Kingdom wasn't afraid of His Highness!

Although His Highness didn't say anything just now, they felt a chill run down their spines after hearing what he said.

At the same time, everyone was puzzled… 'The Regent seems different today.'

"Perfect. This King has had nothing to do recently. Why don't we continue? Let's see what everyone says; this King wants to hear it too."

'What!?'

'Didn't the Regent hear about the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox and come to question the Xiao family?'

'No—no way!'

Many people knew about this, and the Regent must've known as well. Yet, he had specially asked them why they were here.

'Could it be that the Regent isn't happy that we came to ask about the Xiao family's Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox?'

When Xiao Canglan heard this, he was very puzzled. 'Isn't the Regent here for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox? Everybody else came here for this. Although Luo Xuanshuang hadn't come to look for me, he had probably come to look for Ling'er because of this matter. On the other hand, the Regent has said that he wants to hear He Qin and the others say why they are here.'

'He's speaking differently today. What's the meaning of this?'

Feeling the fear of He Qin and the others, Xiao Muling sighed in her heart. 'It's just as the rumors said. Wherever the Regent goes, tens of thousands of people will kowtow, and the strong will submit!'

But with her father here, she didn't need to join in the fun.

The Xiao family residence was really lively today!

Cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads—they were extremely nervous.

"This King is here, and all of you are mute." Seeing that they were silent, the person in the air continued speaking. There was a hint of anger in his voice, and the atmosphere became even more tense.

Everyone secretly exclaimed in their hearts. 'How can we dare to say anything now?'

'We don't even know why the Regent is here.'

'If we accidentally say something wrong, we… will end up miserable!'

"No, no, Your Highness. We just finished talking and were about to leave." Someone mustered up the courage to speak.

If they continued being silent, the Regent would only become angrier.

"Yes, yes, yes. It's like this; we were just saying goodbye to Family Leader Xiao."

"Family Leader Xiao, don't you agree?"

Everyone immediately agreed and pulled Xiao Canglan in, but they still didn't dare to raise their heads.

Luo Xuanshuang looked at them with ridicule in his eyes. His gaze changed as he looked at the carriage in the sky.

He had been in Archean Spirit Kingdom for so long, but this was the first time he had seen the Regent out.

He was just like the rumors, intimidating everyone!

This powerful aura was like the arrival of a true king!

Although he had never seen the person in the carriage before, Luo Xuanshuang could already imagine how majestic the person sitting inside was! 'It's a pity for such a person to stay in Archean Spirit Kingdom. If he were in Spirit Summoning Continent, he would probably be a peak expert! Just why did he come to the Xiao family today?'
