Chapter 935: Changing the Dynamics of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River!

The Parent Flag of the Ancestral Star was now secured!

"The Heavenly Deity Stellar River's last bastion of hope, and he crushed it with a single sword!"

Shen Nanyin's eyes appeared dreamy as she gazed at the young man in white. His carefree and relaxed demeanor was like a captivating poison.

Even though he was much smaller in stature than her, it no longer mattered.

At this moment, Shi Feifei had become Drenched Feifei, and she could understand why. Because truth be told, she wasn't far off herself.

There was some trembling; they had experienced it firsthand, most profoundly.

Compared to them, although the others were not as obsessed, they felt even more frustrated.

"Yun Xiao!" After handing over the Parent Flag, Zu Xi bowed respectfully and said solemnly, "No matter what happens in the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm or the Harmony Divine Palace, your extraordinary talent commands my utmost respect. In the Ancestor Immortal Grotto competition, our Heavenly Deity Stellar River needs you to take the lead!"

He himself was a leader, born into greatness and dignity, but now he had to step aside.

Mu Xihe, Qin Feng, and others were pale-faced as they looked at Yun Xiao, not daring to utter a single word of dissent.

The 300 people behind them looked at each other, shock still lingering in their eyes.

From the details on their faces, it was clear that their previous hostility was now being replaced by profound respect.

In short, they were convinced!

"Me, taking the lead in the Ancestor Immortal Grotto? Do you all agree?" Yun Xiao asked calmly.

"The task of defending the dignity of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River naturally falls to the most capable! Your strength is exceptional, and anyone who disagrees is short-sighted and does not wish for the Heavenly Deity Stellar River to stand proud and formidable," Zu Xi declared solemnly.

After his defeat, he first handed over the Parent Flag, then supported Yun Xiao... These actions garnered quite some praise and saved him from a terrible fall.

In contrast, figures like the five Young Dragon Lords, Xiao Ming, Bloodweaver, and Tang Zhenyan had fallen from grace.

Even Zhao Canglan had been crippled.

After this battle, Zu Xi maintained his reputation and was unharmed, which was the best possible outcome.

"The Ancestor Immortal Grotto is a contest of peak talents across the 18 Stellar Rivers. Now, with the five Young Dragon Lords, Xiao Ming, Zhao Canglan, and others losing their chance to compete, there may not be ten participants for the Ancestor Immortal Grotto altogether, nearly all of them are here... I believe no one present would question your combat or leadership abilities!"

What he referred to as leadership was actually an understatement.

Yun Xiao's journey in the Grand Assembly Arena, from having nothing to dominating the Heavenly Deity Stellar River region, demonstrated not just his ruthless methods but also a kind of capability!

With such divine prowess and commanding presence combined, Zu Xi was convinced!

Not only was he convinced, but his wife Mu Xihe also nodded. Setting aside her personal grievances, she softly said, "In the many Grand Assemblies of Myriad Sects, the Heavenly Deity Stellar River has almost always ranked among the bottom three due to disunity. I believe that with Yun Xiao here, our situation will undergo a drastic transformation, just like it did in the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm."

The Ancestral Land was the sort to always prioritize the greater good, showing their broader vision in a way.

Of course, this was predicated on Yun Xiao's being worthy of leading them.

If Yun Xiao were of no use, unable to influence the general situation of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, no one would respect him!

"Once the Grand Assembly Arena battle ends, do all Fifth Baptism Realm or above disciples across the 18 Stellar Rivers of the Samsara Galaxy directly enter the Ancestor Immortal Grotto?" Yun Xiao asked.

"That's correct. I heard that Long Hao and Long Kun are not dead but are severely injured. If they haven't recovered to eighty percent by then, according to the rules, they also can't enter the Ancestor Immortal Grotto. At that time, it seems likely only you and we five will represent the Heavenly Deity Stellar River," Zu Xi explained.

Mu Xihe added, "There's also a Fifth Baptism Realm disciple from the Nine Yin Soul Sea, but she hasn't joined us."

"Right." Yun Xiao's forces had helped him conquer the Nine Yin Star, but he hadn’t encountered that Fifth Baptism Realm disciple. She had probably stepped away to avoid direct confrontation with Yun Xiao, opting out voluntarily.

But she would also enter the Ancestor Immortal Grotto!

"I have one on my side too," Yun Xiao said.

He wasn’t in the Fifth Baptism Realm yet and wasn't sure if he could enter the Ancestor Immortal Grotto yet; he'd have to go back and consult the Three Divas.

"Could it be Feng Yao?" Mu Xihe asked, somewhat astounded.

"Yes." Yun Xiao nodded.

"She's actually in the Fifth Baptism Realm? No wonder Xiao Ming and the others couldn’t defeat her," Mu Xihe remarked.

They hadn't participated in the battle of the Extreme Yin Star, but they were very clear about the details.

"Alright, see you then."

Since the conversation was settled, Yun Xiao saw no need for further small talk.

"See you then," Zu Xi and the others bowed as they replied.

Yun Xiao was about to leave when he suddenly remembered someone and turned back to Zu Xi and Mu Xihe.

Considering Yun Xiao's infamous reputation, Mu Xihe and Zu Xi were a bit nervous about his sudden action.

They were worried Yun Xiao might try to pull something on them.

Mu Zixiao and Mu Zhilu had essentially fallen victim to Yun Xiao, and now Zu Wei seemed to harbor an enduring obsession with him.

"Err, you..." Zu Xi started to speak.

However, Yun Xiao interrupted with a serious tone, "I would like to inquire about someone, a disciple of the Ancestral Land."

"Oh," Zu Xi exhaled in relief, asking softly, "Who do you wish to inquire about?"
