Luo Yunhai was truly taken aback.
Although Qin Wentian had displayed his strength earlier, Luo Yunhai had never imagined that Qin Wentian would be able to defeat his nephew, Luo Qianqiu.
In the past, his elder brother, Luo Tianya, was extremely talented. After graduating from the Emperor Star Academy, he was heavily nurtured by the Nine Mystical Palace, and was even recommended to join the Nine Mystical Palace.
This time around, he had come to the Jun Lin Banquet under the orders of Luo Tianya. He wanted to see Luo Qianqiu obtain the position of # 1, and failure was not allowed.
If he had known that Qin Wentian had such combat prowess, he would have directly used the excuse of being late to disqualify him. Even after Qin Wentian defeated Sikong Mingyue, he still used underhanded methods to deal with Qin Wentian, causing him to be unable to unleash his full strength. For the sake of obtaining the position of # 1, everything was worth it.
But in the end, Qin Wentian actually broke through and opened up a brand new arterial pathway, snatching the position of # 1 from the hands of Luo Qianqiu.
Luo Yunhai actually held Qin Wentian's talent in high regard. He hoped to recruit Qin Wentian into the Nine Mystical Palace, but sadly, he didn't want such an opportunity for Qin Wentian.
"The attention of the masses?"
Luo Yunhai stared at the young man on the platform. What a foolish fellow. For the sake of a short moment of glory and glory, he was willing to disobey the orders of the Nine Mystical Palace?
Such an action was truly foolish.
The majority of the spectators didn't know what Luo Yunhai was thinking. In fact, only those from the major powers knew of the existence of Luo Yunhai and his group of experts from the Nine Mystical Palace.
Their gazes were fixed on the silhouette of the young man on the platform, as admiration and blessings could be seen on their faces. Qin Wentian from the Qin Clan of Sky Harmony City, he had walked all the way to the end, obtaining the position of # 1 at the age of 17. In the history of the Jun Lin Banquet, this was an extremely rare occurrence.
The young man's name was Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian of Qin's Mansion.
The smile on Qin Wentian's face was as radiant as the sun. Looking at the smiles on the faces of the Elders of the Emperor Star Academy, seeing Mo Qingcheng raising her dainty little fist towards him, seeing the blessings in Mu Rou's eyes, and seeing Fatty Fan Le's screams, he truly felt extremely happy. Regardless of pride or vanity, in any case, he didn't disappoint those who cared about him.
Therefore, he was happy.
But while he was happy, there was someone else who was unhappy.
A powerful killing intent locked onto him. That Yuanfu cultivator took a step forward, causing a thunderous sound to echo out, as though a gigantic wave of energy was generated from the impact of his step.
"Hmm?" The crowd was still immersed in the shock of Qin Wentian obtaining first place in the Jun Lin Banquet, but they had forgotten that before Qin Wentian defeated Luo Qianqiu, there was still one more person who had walked up to the edge of the platform.
"The Jun Lin Banquet has already concluded. It's time to announce the results. Sir, are you disregarding the face of the Royal Clan by barging into the Jun Lin Banquet?"
In the direction of the Emperor Star Academy, Old Gu stood up as he coldly stated. The gazes of the crowd shifted to Chu Tianjiao who was seated on the Azure Jadeite Dragon Seat, only to see Chu Tianjiao quietly sitting there, as though all of this had nothing to do with him.
He, Chu Tianjiao, wouldn't interfere in this matter. After all, this was a matter between the Emperor Star Academy and the Nine Mystical Palace.
At this moment, Chu Tianjiao was thinking that since Qin Wentian had obtained first place in the Jun Lin Banquet, would the Nine Mystical Palace still have room for him?
Nobody obstructed the young man on the platform. It was as though the voice of the Emperor Star Academy was disregarded by the Royal Clan.
"How dare you be so ruthless in a battle between fellow disciples." The young man stared at Qin Wentian as he took another step forward. Lifting his palms, he blasted out with a fist as a terrifying energy gushed forth. Qin Wentian lifted his ancient halberd to block, yet the terrifying energy caused the halberd to be knocked out of his hands. Qin Wentian's body trembled violently as he retreated.
Luo Qianqiu and Qin Wentian were both students of the Emperor Star Academy. Hence, it could be said that they were fellow disciples of the same sect.
However, the reason given by the young man was truly laughable. Although they were fellow disciples, how had Luo Qianqiu treated Qin Wentian in the past? Now that he had been defeated, talking about being fellow disciples was nothing but an excuse.
"How impudent."
"How ridiculous."
Many in the crowd berated. Old Gu, Mustang and a few others from the Emperor Star Academy stepped out, heading towards the direction of the Emperor Star Academy's platform.
However, at this moment, the crowd saw another silhouette appearing on the platform. This silhouette was none other than Luo Yunhai, who had been standing beside Chu Tianjiao all this while.
He calmly stood there as a terrifying aura gushed forth, sweeping through the air. The silhouettes of Old Gu and the rest all froze in the air, their countenances ashen.
"What kind of place do you guys take the platform of the Jun Lin Banquet to be?" Luo Yunhai calmly stated. When that terrifying aura erupted forth, the entire space turned silent. It was as though everyone could feel how terrifying that aura was. It was sufficient to suppress everything.
"Luo Yunhai." Old Gu coldly stated. "Luo Qianqiu's defeat is his defeat. The Nine Mystical Palace's method of taking revenge in front of so many people is simply too despicable."
"Luo Yunhai, his surname is also Luo. Could he be a relative of Luo Qianqiu?" The countenances of the crowd froze.
"Don't worry, I'm only helping your Emperor Star Academy to teach a lesson to those who don't care about being fellow disciples. I won't do anything to him." Luo Yunhai's voice was as calm as ever.
Such an unforeseen event caused strange expressions to appear on the faces of the spectators.
The Jun Lin Banquet had been held in Chu for many years, but in the recent years, there had never been any slip-ups, nor was there anyone who dared to cause trouble.
But today, it seemed as though this situation had been broken. There was someone who wanted to cause trouble in the Jun Lin Banquet.
Not only that, the Royal Clan of Chu pretended as though they didn't see anything.
Chu Tianjiao continued sitting there, as though he was an outsider.
"Nine Mystical Palace."
Many in the crowd had heard of the existence of the Nine Mystical Palace, and their hearts involuntarily trembled. So this was the case, Luo Qianqiu was actually from the Nine Mystical Palace. In that case, this Jun Lin Banquet must have been premeditated beforehand.
In the past, there hadn't been any unforeseen events in the Jun Lin Banquet because the Nine Mystical Palace would only select geniuses during the Jun Lin Banquet.
But this time around, it was different. This time around, the Nine Mystical Palace had to obtain the number one position in the Jun Lin Banquet. However, their plans had been spoiled by Qin Wentian.
"The nine top rankers of the Jun Lin Banquet, come up." Luo Yunhai calmly commanded. Instantly, Luo Qianqiu, Sikong Mingyue, Chu Chen, Orchon and the rest all ascended the platform. Only 2nd Sword and Luo Huan Guxing didn't listen to Luo Yunhai's command.
He directly issued an order to the Jun Lin Banquet. Such a scene caused the crowd to be deeply shocked. Only now did they understand what sort of existence the Nine Mystical Palace was.
"My Nine Mystical Palace has been paying close attention to the Jun Lin Banquet for many years. Every year, the outstanding geniuses of the Jun Lin Banquet would be invited to join our Nine Mystical Palace. This year is naturally no exception." Luo Yunhai indifferently stated, as though he was looking down on the entire world. Their Nine Mystical Palace indeed had the qualifications to look down on the entire world.
Over here, they were the kings, the uncrowned kings.
"Today, I shall take this opportunity to announce that Chu Tianjiao and Xiao Lu are already disciples of my Nine Mystical Palace." Luo Yunhai's indifferent voice sounded as though he was announcing their status.
The Crown Prince of Chu, Chu Tianjiao, and the Crown Prince of Snowcloud, Xiao Lu, were both disciples of the Nine Mystical Palace.
These two were the future kings of two countries, but at the same time, they also had another identity – disciples of the Nine Mystical Palace.
"Luo Qianqiu, today I wish to ask: Sikong Mingyue, Chu Chen, Orchon, Hou Tie, are you all willing to join our Nine Mystical Palace?" Luo Yunhai didn't bother with the shock of the crowd as he continued, inviting the most outstanding geniuses of the Jun Lin Banquet to join us.
"I'm willing." Sikong Mingyue bowed.
"I'm willing." Chu Chen agreed.
"I'm willing." Orchon agreed.
"I'm willing." Hou Tie agreed.
Voices of shock rang out one after another. Not only that, Chu Tianjiao and Xiao Lvl also came down from their seats, standing below the platform, as though to show their respect to the Nine Mystical Palace.
"Very good. From today onwards, you all can join our Nine Mystical Palace at any time. Naturally, if you are willing to temper yourself outside for a few years, the Nine Mystical Palace won't say anything. This is your freedom." Luo Yunhai laughed. "This time around, the Jun Lin Banquet has attracted so many outstanding geniuses. I hope that you all will be able to help each other in the future, and respect your fellow disciples. Don't be like some others, ruthlessly attacking your fellow disciples."
Luo Yunhai's words caused the crowd to turn their gazes onto Qin Wentian.
The champion of the Jun Lin Banquet, Qin Wentian, was currently excluded from the Nine Mystical Palace.
He was supposed to be the most dazzling existence, yet the Nine Mystical Palace seemed to be intentionally humiliating him at this moment because he had gone against their wishes.
The Nine Mystical Palace had given him a chance, but Qin Wentian didn't want it.
The countenances of those from the Emperor Star Academy were extremely unsightly to behold. They didn't expect that the Nine Mystical Palace would make such a move. It was as though they wanted to display their might as a king, causing Qin Wentian's radiance to dim in comparison.
And the Nine Mystical Palace indeed had the ability to do so.
"BOOM!" Yet another terrifying rumbling sound rang out as waves of Qi gushed forth. That Yuanfu Realm cultivator once again advanced towards Qin Wentian.
The Nine Mystical Palace said that they wouldn't do anything to Qin Wentian, and would only teach him a lesson. But to what extent would they control their actions?
Cripple Qin Wentian's cultivation?
How could the experts from the Emperor Star Academy be willing to do so? They all stepped out, only to see Luo Yunhai soaring up into the air. The aura of a peak-level Yuanfu cultivator gushed forth, causing people to feel an urge to submit to him.
If the Mo Clan's elder didn't make an appearance, or if the headmaster of the Emperor Star Academy didn't appear, there would be very few who could contend against him.
"Is this the power of the Nine Mystical Palace?"
"Powerful, tyrannical, and unreasonable."
This was strength. In this world, there was no right or wrong, there was no logic.
"Who dares to interfere in the matters of the Nine Mystical Palace?" Luo Yunhai roared, causing the entire Heavens and Earth to turn silent.
The crowd glanced at Luo Yunhai, and then at Qin Wentian. They didn't know what to feel in their hearts.
"Ai, the Nine Mystical Palace only has this much potential."
Amidst the crowd, a sigh rang out. The voice wasn't loud, but it was like a gust of wind, drifting into the ears of everyone present.
In the vast crowd, a path automatically appeared, and an old man with a head of snow-white hair slowly walked out.
The old man inclined his head and gazed at the lonely silhouette of the young man on the platform, as a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Since you were the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet, today, I shall accompany you as you descend into the world!" The calm voice of the old man was like a gust of wind, whistling through the eardrums of the crowd.
Today, I shall accompany you as you descend into the world!
