Chu Yun clearly didn't come with good intentions. There was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Ji Tianxing saw his attitude and guessed that he knew about what happened on Mount Godseal.
"Holy Master, I don't understand. I've done things with a clear conscience. Why wouldn't I dare return?"
"Hehe …" The Sagemaster cracked a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and a cold light flashed through his deep eyes.
"A clear conscience? I hope you don't regret it."
Ji Tianxing didn't want to waste time with him. He simply turned his head and ignored him.
The Holy Master didn't say anything else. He quietly waited for Chu Yun to arrive.
Although he wanted to kill Ji Tianxing, this reckless traitor of the Chu Yun Empire, he couldn't do anything about it.
However, he couldn't act on his own, lest he ruin Great Emperor Chu Yun's plan.
As time passed, the sun slowly sank toward the horizon. The last of the dusky light disappeared.
Martial artists and commoners gathered on the streets outside the palace gates.
They gathered in twos and threes, looking at Ji Tianxing from afar. They pointed at him and whispered among themselves.
He'd won three consecutive battles in the ranking battles and took first place. He'd left a deep impression on the people.
A few months had passed, but the people of the Imperial City were still talking about him.
Not long after, a loud shout came from inside the palace.
"The Holy Emperor has arrived!"
Following the captain's shout, a tall and burly figure stepped out of the palace gates.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a dignified face. He wore a dark golden robe embroidered with images of the sun, moon, stars, and dragons.
He was Chu Yun the Holy Emperor.
The captain of the Imperial Guards and four other Imperial Guards followed behind him respectfully.
The Holy Emperor strode toward Ji Tianxing. His eyes were cold and indifferent.
When he got close, he stared at Ji Tianxing and asked in a dignified voice, "Ji Tianxing, why did you come back to Skycloud instead of cultivating on Mount Godseal?"
Ji Tianxing could feel the Holy Emperor's cold attitude toward him. There was even a hint of anger.
However, he feigned ignorance. He smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. "Holy Emperor, I have returned to Skycloud to give you a great gift."
The Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire had heard the report from the imperial guard captain, so he naturally knew why Ji Tianxing was here.
But in his eyes, Ji Tianxing was a poor man. What kind of gift could he give?
Of course, other than the divine sword.
"What gift?" The Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire stared at him sharply, wondering what he was up to.
Ji Tianxing held the Sword of Burial Of Heaven with both hands and said with a complicated tone, "Ever since I left the Chu Yun Empire, I've been ambushed and besieged by mysterious powerhouses.
I don't know why, but those people all want to snatch my sword.
I'm guessing that there's something extraordinary about this sword, which is why so many experts are fighting over it.
As for me, I just want to cultivate peacefully. I don't want to get into trouble, and I don't have the strength to defend against the attacks of so many experts.
As the saying goes, a man's wealth is his own ruin. This sword is the cause of my misfortune.
So I've decided to give it to you, Holy Emperor. Only a powerhouse like you is worthy of this sword. "
He spoke with sincerity, then presented the Sword of Burial Of Heaven to the Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire.
The Great Emperor and the Sagemaster were stunned. They stared at the sword in his hand, a sharp light flashing in their eyes.
Both of them carefully examined the sword, many thoughts running through their minds.
"Isn't this the Sword of Burial Of Heaven? The appearance, the aura, and the energy fluctuations are all the same. There's no difference. It really is the Sword of Burial Of Heaven! "
"Ji Tianxing, that brat, wants to give the Sword of Burial Of Heaven to me? What is he trying to do?
Has he seen through my plan? Is he forced to give me the Sword of Burial Of Heaven as a gesture of goodwill? "
"With this brat's strength and methods, it's true that he can't fend off the attacks of the powerhouses of the various kingdoms. It's impossible for him to keep the Sword of Burial Of Heaven.
He's smart enough. He knows that he can't keep the Sword of Burial Of Heaven, so he's giving it to you. He can stay out of this and curry favor with you … "
The Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire remained silent. He looked at the Sword of Burial Of Heaven with greed.
He weighed the pros and cons before reaching out to take the Sword of Burial Of Heaven. He nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Ji Tianxing, you're really smart and tactful.
As the saying goes, the treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous.
With your strength, you're indeed unable to protect this sword.
Since you're so sincere and insist on giving the sword to me, I'll accept your goodwill. "
The Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire held the Sword of Burial Of Heaven. His eyes shone as he examined it. He reached out to stroke the blade, feeling the energy fluctuations within.
The Sage Master's expression was a little complicated. He secretly advised, "Sage Master, although this kid is tactful and took the initiative to give the Sword of Burial Of Heaven to you, he'll reveal this publicly.
However, if he were to present the treasure with great fanfare, this matter would definitely be exposed. If the news were to spread, the experts of various countries would definitely harm you!
I'm very worried that this is Ji Tianxing's scheme! "
The Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire didn't change his expression, but he secretly replied, "Don't worry, Sage Master. I've considered the consequences. I've also guessed that this might be Ji Tianxing's scheme.
However, he's already delivered the Sword of Burial Of Heaven to the entrance of the palace and handed it to me.
How can I give the Sword of Burial Of Heaven away? If the experts of the world find out, won't they laugh their heads off and call me cowardly and incompetent?
So what if the experts of various countries find out? I have a million elite soldiers and a hundred thousand imperial guards to protect the imperial city. Anyone who comes will die! "
The Sage Master was still a little worried, but he also understood that the Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire had made up his mind and couldn't be changed.
Moreover, who could resist the temptation of the Sword of Burial Of Heaven?
If he could obtain the secrets of the Sword of Burial Of Heaven, Kenshin's treasures and Divine Dao inheritance, so what if he became the public enemy of various countries?
At this moment, the Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Ji Tianxing is willing to offer the treasure and make a great contribution. I'll reward you with ten million Spiritual Stones and a hundred Divine Pills!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and sent a ray of golden light to Ji Tianxing.
The golden light wrapped around a Space Ring. Inside it were ten million Spiritual Stones and a hundred Primordial Soul Grade Divine Pills.
Ji Tianxing didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out and took the Space Ring. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sage Master. Since I've given you the gift, I'll take my leave now."
The Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire's thoughts were all on the Sword of Burial Of Heaven. He only wanted to return to the palace to study the sword as soon as possible.
He couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with Ji Tianxing. He waved his hand and said, "Go."
Ji Tianxing cupped his hands and bowed, then turned and left.
Soon, his figure disappeared at the end of the street.
The smile on the Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire's face disappeared. He ordered the Sage Master beside him, "Sage Master, send someone to secretly watch him."
The Sage Master asked telepathically, "Sage Master, do you want to kill him?"
The Great Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire thought for a moment and shook his head. "Let him live for now. Perhaps I still have a use for him.
Send someone to monitor his movements at all times and wait for my orders. "
