The old man was dressed in plain clothes, and his hair was as white as snow. He seemed to be in his twilight years, but he wanted to rule over the world.
Seeing him slowly walk onto the battle platform, countless people stared at him. No one knew who this old man was.
"Gomyang Hong." On the viewing platform, there were several people who recognised Gùng Hong, as their hearts trembled. This was Gùng Hong, his black hair had actually turned white. What exactly happened to his body?
"It's the Grandmaster of Divine Inscriptions, he actually stepped out for the sake of Qin Wentian."
The hearts of many in the crowd were filled with shock. Although the attainments of Divine Inscriptions in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions were extremely high, but with his current strength, could he contend against the Nine Mystical Palace?
Also, he actually acted for the sake of Qin Wentian. Could it be that they were acquainted with each other because of that Divine Inscription painting?
Luo Yunhai's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery as he stared at Gong Hong. In Chu, there was actually someone who dared to mock the Nine Mystical Palace? Wasn't he a little too arrogant?
Could it be that this old man didn't know what kind of power the Nine Mystical Palace was?
"Scram."
The young man beside Qin Wentian took a step forward as killing intent gushed out from his body, heading towards Gonyang Hong.
Did this old man want to die?
"How arrogant. No one has dared to speak to me like this for decades." Upon seeing the other party walking over, his palms abruptly trembled. In an instant, astral light radiated from the skies, and the spectators only saw an arm of Astral Light appearing from the void, descending from the Heavens.
The gigantic arm opened its palm and grabbed at the young man. It was like the might of the heavens, making it impossible for anyone to resist.
That young man's countenance changed as he punched out. However, that arm was like a heavenly arm, disregarding the attack and directly grabbing onto the young man.
"Buzz." Wild gales flickered and the young man's figure was pulled into the void by the Celestial Arm of Stars. He was like an ant.
It was as though the Astral Celestial Arm was his own arm, controlling it from a distance.
"It's time for your parents to teach you how to behave." After which, the Astral Celestial Arm abruptly trembled as it flung the opponent's body away.
In that instant, the young man's body flew into the distance, directly flying out of the boundaries of the Chu Emperor District, and no one knew where he had been thrown.
It was as though he was throwing rubbish, tossing a Yuanfu Realm cultivator far into the distance.
Such a scene caused everyone's gaze to freeze there.
"So strong."
Their hearts were trembling violently. How could Gong Hong be so powerful?
Luo Yunhai's countenance drastically changed. He was a peak-level Yuanfu cultivator, how could he not be aware of the methods used by Gùng Hong?
Astral Nova, this was the symbol of a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign.
Those from the Royal Clan, those from the Emperor Star Academy, as well as all the experts present, all of them couldn't help but feel great waves of shock in their hearts.
Many years ago, the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet, after he returned to Chu, he started to research Divine Inscriptions. But in reality, he had always been a tyrannical existence at the Heavenly Dipper Realm. Nobody knew about this.
"Get your ass down here." A tyrannical voice rang out from Gùng Hong's mouth as he stared at Luo Yunhai.
Black lines appeared on Luo Yunhai's face as the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably. However, his body still continued to descend, landing on the ground.
The arrogant Luo Yunhai, because of Gùng Hong's rebuke, directly fell from the skies, as though he had fallen off a divine altar.
"Who are you? I hope you won't interfere in the matters of the Nine Mystical Palace." Luo Yunhai's aura was evidently not as strong as before. This place wasn't the Nine Mystical Palace. If it was the Nine Mystical Palace, there was no need for him to fear Gùng Hong. But this place was the Chu Country.
Here, a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign could annihilate all of them from the Nine Mystical Palace.
"Shut up."
Gùng Hong coldly snorted. "Has the Nine Mystical Palace fallen so low that they can only strut around in a place like Chu?"
As he spoke, Gùng Hong slowly walked towards the side of Qin Wentian.
A smile appeared on his face as he looked at Qin Wentian. "Little fellow, I didn't expect that you would be able to become the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet. What a pleasant surprise."
Qin Wentian was also very happy when he saw the smile on Gùng Hong's face. Back then, Gùng Hong's heart was as though it had already died.
But today, Gùng Hong walked up the platform, wanting to accompany him as he conquered the world. How imposing was this? This was the aura that should belong to him.
"Senior, you've also obtained it before. What's there for me to be proud of?" Qin Wentian laughed.
"That's different. I became the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet when I was at the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm. As for you, when you participated in the Jun Lin Banquet, you were only at the 7th level of Arterial Circulation. You are much stronger compared to me." Gùng Hong was still smiling. Ever since that day when Qin Wentian said to him, "The past has already passed, the future is too far away. Focus only on the present."
"Luo Qianqiu, Sikong Mingyue, Chu Chen, and Orchon. Although they aren't bad, they still cannot be compared to you. How laughable is the Nine Mystical Palace's arrogance, recruiting all of them but excluding you? Not only is it laughable, it's also lamentable."
After speaking, Gùng Hong slowly turned his gaze onto Luo Yunhai and the rest.
"If the Nine Mystical Palace were to use such a method to display their superiority, their name would be stained with infamy for ten thousand years to come." Gùng Hong calmly continued, "Based on the talent Qin Wentian displayed today, Misty Peak, Setting Sun Mountain, Phoenix Cry Valley, which power would he join? Is the Nine Mystical Palace mocking Chu for being too small and isolated from the rest of the world?"
"But so be it. From my point of view, the Nine Mystical Palace isn't worthy of Qin Wentian's talent." Gùng Hong calmly replied, causing the crowd to draw in a deep breath.
As expected of Gùng Hong, the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet many years ago. After leaving Chu, his horizons had broadened, and he wasn't limited to the Nine Mystical Palace.
Earlier, when they saw Luo Yunhai's arrogant attitude, causing Chu to submit, and inviting Sikong Mingyue and the rest to join the Nine Mystical Palace, they were all deeply shocked. They all treated the Nine Mystical Palace as an unreachable existence.
However, Gùng Hong's words directly pierced through that false arrogance.
In this Jun Lin Banquet, Qin Wentian was the champion. What qualifications did the Nine Mystical Palace have to choose him? Why didn't Qin Wentian choose the Nine Mystical Palace instead?
Back then, Gùng Hong was also the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet. Didn't he choose the Nine Mystical Palace as well? Even so, he still grew so powerful. If Qin Wentian returned to Chu after many years, wouldn't he be another Gùng Hong? In fact, he might even be stronger than him!
"If you wish to leave Chu, I can bring you along with me right now, and you can join a powerful sect."
Gùng Hong turned his head and smiled at Qin Wentian. Evidently, he wasn't joking.
As long as Qin Wentian nodded his head, he could immediately bring Qin Wentian out of Chu. Given Qin Wentian's talent, there was no need for him to leave the Nine Mystical Palace.
Qin Wentian naturally knew that Gùng Hong wouldn't lie to him. The Nine Mystical Palace wanted to humiliate Qin Wentian. Gùng Hong's words were telling the people of Chu, as well as Qin Wentian, not to be affected by Luo Yunhai's actions. He wanted to broaden his horizons and not limit himself to a mere Nine Mystical Palace.
So what if they controlled ten countries? This world was too vast.
If this world was compared to the Nine Heavenly Layers, the Chu Country was merely at the bottom few layers. Over there, one would never be able to see the scenery of the Nine Heavenly Layers.
However, right now, Qin Wentian still had unfinished business in Chu. He still had his family and friends there. If he wanted to leave now, it wouldn't be realistic.
"Seems like you still have unfinished business. After today, I will leave Chu. I will introduce you to some of the transcendent powers, and see if there are any who are willing to receive you. Or maybe, after I'm done with my business, I will make a trip back to Chu."
Gùng Hong laughed. After which, he turned his gaze onto Chu Tianjiao as he continued, "You should be the Crown Prince of Chu, right? The champion of the Jun Lin Banquet has a reward. What reward did you prepare for the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet this year?"
Chu Tianjiao stared at Gùng Hong, feeling an uneasy feeling in his heart. Someone as tyrannical as Gùng Hong didn't even care about his status. He could still face him with such an arrogant attitude. This was strength.
Before Chu Tianjiao could reply, Gùng Hong continued, "Forget it. Since it's a reward, it should be up to Qin Wentian to choose. Qin Wentian, you obtained the first place in the Jun Lin Banquet this year. What do you want?"
"I want Chu to release my father and grandfather."
Qin Wentian stared at Chu Tianjiao, his countenance extremely sharp.
He came to the Royal Capital of Chu, grew stronger step by step, and participated in the Jun Lin Banquet. Everything he did, there was only one goal.
His father Qin Chuan and grandfather Qin Wu were still imprisoned in the Black Stronghold.
"No way, how can we release the leader of the rebel army?" Chu Tianjiao coldly snorted.
"I want you to release them." Gùng Hong stared at Chu Tianjiao, his attitude tyrannical.
Chu Tianjiao's countenance was extremely unsightly to behold. He resolutely stated, "Even if I want to release them, I can only release Qin Chuan alone. Qin Wu cannot be released. This is my bottom line."
Gùng Hong glanced at Qin Wentian, only to see Qin Wentian staring at Chu Tianjiao's eyes. Chu Tianjiao's gaze was resolute and unshakable.
"Fine." Qin Wentian nodded his head. Being able to rescue his father from the Jun Lin Banquet could be considered an unexpected joy.
"Gùng Hong, you really care too much."
At this moment, a voice drifted over from afar, accompanied by the howling of a raging wind.
Gùng Hong frowned as he stared into the distance, only to see a gigantic palm of lightning descending from the skies, slamming towards him and Qin Wentian. The terrifying lightning radiating from it seemed as though it wanted to engulf the Heavens and Earth, destroying everything in its path.
"Hmph." Gùng Hong coldly snorted, as his Astral Celestial Arms shot out in rage. The two gigantic palms collided with each other, causing a deafening boom to echo out.
At this moment, a silhouette appeared in the airspace above the Chu Emperor District. This person was clad in a blue robe, exuding an imposing aura. His features bore a striking resemblance to Luo Qianqiu and Luo Yunhai.
Upon seeing this person, in the direction of the Emperor Star Academy, Ren Qianxing's body violently trembled as his countenance turned extremely unsightly.
Luo Tianya of the Nine Mystical Palace, who was also a former student of the Emperor Star Academy!
He actually came to Chu!
