Chapter 171: Chapter 127: Massive Earthquake in the Eastern Domain, White-robed Divine King Jiang Renfeng

It wasn’t just Huang Ling’Er. Two other voices immediately followed, stripped of their previous disdain.

"Three-Eyed Divine Race, Divine Jian, ninth-generation descendant of the Heavy Pupil Saint."

"Longevity Mountain, Exiled Immortal Fairy, the sole successor of the Exiled Immortal Saint."

Hearing the three voice transmissions, Jiang Hao instinctively glanced at the trio. Their expressions remained completely unchanged. They didn’t even look his way, acting as if no exchange had taken place at all.

Jiang Hao smiled bitterly to himself. Focusing his energy, he attempted to send a transmission back.

This was his first time trying to converse via voice transmission, making him somewhat unpracticed.

"Jiang Hao."

At those words, the trio finally reacted. They exchanged glances and smiled wryly.

Compared to their elaborate self-introductions, his was incredibly brief—just his name. It instantly highlighted the sheer disparity in their backgrounds.

With the introductions out of the way, the four considered themselves officially reacquainted.

Perhaps out of kindness, Huang Ling’Er took the initiative to explain, "Jiang Hao, you still don’t know much about Nanling, do you? Do you know who we are about to meet?"

"The Lord of the Holy City."

Jiang Hao quietly replied via transmission. Earlier, the Faming Daoist Child had already stated that it was the Lord of the Holy City who wished to see them.

Hearing this, Huang Ling’Er replied with a serious tone, "He isn’t just the Lord of the Holy City. He is also the sole Law Enforcer of Nanling.

"Or rather, he is the most powerful ruler in all of Nanling. He holds the power of life and death over all the Saint Races, Divine Races, and Longevity Families. Even the Nine Saints cannot interfere with his enforcement of the law.

"At the same time, he is the oldest living senior in Nanling today, bar none.

"This senior’s strength might not be the absolute highest in Nanling, but his status and position are undoubtedly unmatched.

"You probably haven’t heard the legends about him, but when you meet this senior, you must be thoroughly respectful. He is the supreme existence who single-handedly established Nanling.

"All the Saint Races, Divine Races, and Longevity Families you see in Nanling today were once declining factions that this senior relocated from across the great world tens of thousands of years ago.

"It is precisely because of his protection that Nanling has developed into the terrifying, impenetrable Earth Realm it is today. It’s no exaggeration to say that without him, there would be no Nanling."

As Huang Ling’Er finished speaking, a flash of profound admiration and reverence crossed her beautiful eyes.

Jiang Hao suddenly raised his head, a storm of shock raging in his heart.

He only knew that Nanling was now an Earth Realm comparable to the entire Eastern Domain. Although it remained a mere corner of the Eastern Domain, it was fully capable of standing as its own independent domain.

Little did he know that Nanling possessed such a secret history, nor that such a terrifying figure still existed in the world.

Noticing the obvious shock in Jiang Hao’s eyes, Huang Ling’Er continued her transmission.

"That’s right. The person we are about to meet...

"Is none other than the Nanling Celestial Book Envoy, one of the eight individuals who oversee the Eastern Domain’s Golden Scale Dao.

"The White-robed Divine King—Jiang Renfeng."

BOOM!!!

The instant those words were spoken, Jiang Hao shuddered violently. Looking as though he had been struck by lightning, he froze in his tracks.

Huang Ling’Er and the other two failed to immediately notice his reaction and continued striding forward.

"It’s quite a coincidence, actually. Your surname is Jiang, and so is that senior’s. However, he has remained childless his entire life. If people didn’t know better, they might assume you were related to him," Huang Ling’Er casually joked through her transmission.

However, at this moment, Jiang Hao felt a sudden tingling in his scalp as chills ran down his spine.

The words "White-robed Divine King Jiang Renfeng" echoed endlessly in his mind.

For a moment, his breathing grew incredibly heavy and ragged.
