Luo Tianya stood proudly in the air with a terrifying aura.
Those from the Chu Emperor District inclined their heads as they stared at Qin Wentian, as great waves of shock rocked their hearts. They, who had never seen a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign before, actually saw two Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns at the Jun Lin Banquet today.
To them, such a figure only existed in legends. Yet, he had appeared before their eyes.
"Is this person Luo Qianqiu's father? Like father, like son. Seems like Luo Qianqiu has a purpose for cultivating in the Emperor Star Academy." Since Luo Qianqiu had such a background, why did he choose to stay in the Emperor Star Academy and not the Nine Mystical Palace? Evidently, he had a motive for coming here.
"Father." Luo Qianqiu stood below, glancing at Luo Tianya who was floating in the air. Lowering his head, he remained silent, as though he had nothing to say to his father.
He had lost to Qin Wentian. He had failed to accomplish his mission of obtaining the top position in the Jun Lin Banquet. He had let down his father.
In a place like Chu, he was actually defeated.
"Who are you?" Luo Tianya stared at Luo Qianqiu with a sharp gaze as he asked.
Luo Qianqiu raised his head, looking at his father, "I am Luo Qianqiu."
"You are Luo Qianqiu, there's no such thing as cowardice in your life. Who hasn't failed in the path of cultivation? Can you defeat everyone in the world?" Luo Tianya's voice rumbled as he berated, "Raise your head. You are Luo Qianqiu, the son of I, Luo Tianya."
Luo Qianqiu's countenance was as sharp as lightning as he clenched his fists tightly. He was Luo Qianqiu, so what if he was defeated? He was still a disciple of the Nine Mystical Palace. The humiliation he suffered today would be washed away with the blood of Qin Wentian in the future.
Raising his head, Luo Qianqiu looked at Qin Wentian once more, his killing intent was incomparably sharp.
Qin Wentian was a stain on his life, and he would definitely wash it off.
"Luo Tianya, I was wondering why he looked so familiar. So he's your son." Gùng Hong stared at the silhouette in the air as he spoke. He actually knew Luo Tianya.
"It's fine if you came all the way to Chu for no reason, but why are you interfering in the matters of my Nine Mystical Palace?" Luo Tianya coldly stated.
"The Nine Mystical Palace has gone too far, I can't stand it any longer."
"Humph." Luo Tianya coldly snorted, "In Chu, there is no need for outsiders to interfere in the matters of my Nine Mystical Palace. Do you really think that just because you are here, you will be able to obstruct the Nine Mystical Palace?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tianya took a step forward, and a terrifying aura surged toward Gùng Hong and Qin Wentian.
The Celestial Arm of Stars appeared, and a cracking sound could be heard in the void. It was as though something had shattered.
"I don't care what the Nine Mystical Palace wants to do. But today, Qin Wentian obtained the number one position in the Jun Lin Banquet. If the Nine Mystical Palace wants to take revenge just because your son was defeated by him, I will never allow it."
"With just you alone, you want to fight against the Nine Mystical Palace? Isn't this a little too ridiculous?" Luo Tianya descended once again, and the might of thunder and lightning swept across the void. Luo Qianqiu and the rest all retreated, leaving only Qin Wentian and Gùng Hong standing below, enduring the immense pressure.
"I can't obstruct the Nine Mystical Palace from doing things, but if you guys are so shameless to bully the juniors of the younger generation, I, Gùng Hong, can kill your juniors as easily as flipping my palms." The Celestial Arm of Stars once again trembled as the two of them faced off against each other.
"So what if he's the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet? I really want to see how far he can grow."
Luo Tianya's gaze swept over to Qin Wentian, his eyes extremely sharp. He had never believed that a genius would have a smooth path of cultivation. The path of cultivation was filled with countless struggles, and too many geniuses had fallen. Without a strong will and some luck, it was impossible for one to become an expert.
"My Nine Mystical Palace won't touch him, but you are not allowed to interfere in the matters of Chu. This country belongs to my Nine Mystical Palace." Luo Tianya tyrannically stated. Chu was the territory of his Nine Mystical Palace.
The Nine Mystical Palace didn't care who was the ruler of Chu. However, the Emperor of Chu had to provide the greatest convenience for the Nine Mystical Palace. For example, selecting talents, requesting for resources. Not a single Emperor could disobey.
As for which Emperor they supported, only the lower ranks of the Nine Mystical Palace would participate. The upper echelons of the Nine Mystical Palace had never interfered in the matters of Chu.
Even if the Emperor of Chu changed, it had nothing to do with him. But he had to obey.
"Don't worry, I won't interfere in the matters of Chu for no reason." Gùng Hong coldly replied. If it wasn't for the fact that he truly liked this youth, Qin Wentian, he wouldn't have appeared on the platform of the Jun Lin Banquet in such a manner.
Luo Tianya no longer looked at Gùng Hong. Instead, he turned his gaze in the direction of the Emperor Star Academy, looking at Ren Qianxing. "Teacher, how have you been?"
"I don't have a student like you." Ren Qianxing coldly replied.
"Teacher, why must you be like this? Since we're born, we naturally have to pursue the path of cultivation. It's unavoidable for us to use some underhanded methods. Even though I'm currently in the Nine Mystical Palace, I still remember Teacher's kindness and named my son Qianqiu.
Luo Tianya calmly replied. However, Ren Qianxing's countenance grew increasingly unsightly, as though he hated Luo Tianya to the bones.
"Our paths are different, forget it." Luo Tianya shook his head, before turning his gaze to Luo Qianqiu and the rest of the Nine Mystical Palace. "Let's go."
As the sound of his voice faded, silhouettes soared up into the air.
Luo Tianya grabbed onto Luo Qianqiu's arm, his gaze still sweeping towards Qin Wentian. Loftily staring at Qin Wentian, he stated, "I really want to see what accomplishments the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet can achieve. Luo Qianqiu, I will wait for you."
As the sound of his voice faded, Luo Tianya turned and left together with the rest of the Nine Mystical Palace, disappearing into the horizon.
Seeing the departure of the Nine Mystical Palace, the hearts of the crowd trembled. This was the first time the Nine Mystical Palace appeared in front of the world in such a manner, without any concealment.
Only now did they know that behind the scenes, there was such a terrifying power that controlled the entire Chu Country.
In front of them, Chu Tianjiao didn't even have the authority to speak.
"Senior Gùng Hong is actually a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign." The crowd gazed at Gùng Hong, their eyes filled with respect.
Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns were characters that stood at the pinnacle of Chu. A single person was the law of an entire country.
Once one reached this level, there were only a few who would choose to remain in Chu.
Naturally, if one were to say who was the most dazzling person today, it would naturally be Qin Wentian.
Using absolute strength, he seized the position of the top ranker of the Jun Lin Banquet. No one would have thought that the person standing at the very end would be him, Qin Wentian.
Not only that, behind him, not only did he have the support of the Emperor Star Academy, he also had the backing of a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign.
Gùng Hong, he accompanied Qin Wentian to descend upon the world.
Standing on the battle platform of the Jun Lin Banquet, basking in boundless glory.
"Qin Wentian, you are the pride of our Emperor Star Academy." Ren Qianxing smiled as he nodded his head to Qin Wentian. At this moment, those from the Emperor Star Academy stood there, gazing at Qin Wentian with solemn expressions.
"Indeed, he deserves to be proud." In the direction of the Mo Clan, the crowd stood up, congratulating Qin Wentian.
Those from the Divine Weapon Pavilion also stood up. An Liuyan had a smile on her face. Evidently, she hadn't expected that this year's Jun Lin Banquet would be so fascinating.
The Chu Emperor District was extremely quiet. The crowd would forever remember this historical moment. They would never forget today's Jun Lin Banquet.
They were grateful to Qin Wentian, grateful to all the young geniuses on the platform, for giving them such a magnificent banquet.
Putting aside all grudges, they were all worthy of pride.
Gùng Hong stood beside Qin Wentian, patting him on his shoulder with a smile on his face. After which, he turned his gaze towards the spectator stands as he spoke to Mu Rou, "Lass from the Mu Clan, have you thought about what promise you want me to fulfill?"
Mu Rou froze for a moment before smiling, "Senior, please don't take it so seriously. Just take it as a gift from me to Senior."
Mu Rou knew very well how much weight a single sentence from a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign would carry.
"If you have thought it through, write it down and place it in my bamboo hut. When I return, I will be able to see it." Gùng Hong laughed, before turning his gaze to Chu Tianjiao and the rest. "Don't forget what you promised. Tomorrow morning, Qin Wentian needs to meet with his father."
Gùng Hong's words were spoken as though it was a matter of course. The crowd knew very well how influential a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign was.
Luo Tianya had left just like that, and the people from the Nine Mystical Palace didn't find trouble with Qin Wentian. Could it really be because of Luo Tianya's magnanimity?
Even if he had such courage, when Qin Wentian matured, what about the other members of the Nine Mystical Palace?
Ultimately, it was all because of Gùng Hong's existence, as well as the threat he had spoken. If not, the situation today wouldn't have been resolved so easily.
If a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign wasn't killed on the spot, it would be a calamity to the future.
"Since junior has agreed, I will not regret it." Chu Tianjiao replied.
"Good," Gùng Hong nodded his head, before turning to Qin Wentian with a smile, "Continue to work hard in your cultivation."
After speaking, his body soared up into the air, as a voice drifted into Qin Wentian's ears.
"Be careful when you're in the Chu Country. The Chu Country has a history of a few thousand years, and their foundations are extremely deep. Although there was no news of them afterwards, nobody knows how deep the foundations of the Royal Clan are. Hence, even I can't pressure them too much. If not, things wouldn't end so easily. Before you have sufficient strength, don't touch the Royal Clan."
Gùng Hong's voice was only audible to Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble.
Seems like there was a reason why Gùng Hong didn't insist on releasing Qin Wu. Indeed, the Royal Clan of the Chu Country was the same as the Emperor Star Academy, they both had extremely deep foundations.
Since the Emperor Star Academy could force the Nine Mystical Palace to take a step back, the Royal Clan must also have a trump card that no one knew about.
The power struggle between these major powers was far from being as simple as he had imagined.
And now, even though he had obtained the position of champion in the Jun Lin Banquet, he still had a long way to go.
Luckily, his father, Qin Chuan, was finally released.
As he thought of this, Qin Wentian felt extremely happy in his heart.
Finally, he could see his father again.
Qin Yao's eyes were slightly moist as she stared at the lofty silhouette standing on the platform. Her younger brother, Qin Wentian, had obtained the position of champion in the Jun Lin Banquet, and was highly regarded by countless people.
Not only that, he had really saved her father.
It had only been a year since Qin Wentian left the Sky Harmony City. Tomorrow, when her father was released, he would definitely feel proud of Qin Wentian!
