Qin Wentian inclined his head as his countenance turned cold. Ye Zixuan had invited all the geniuses to the banquet yet he omitted Jun Mengchen. In addition to the presence of Blackpeak, Qin Wentian understood that the Saint Child who arranged for Blackpeak to stay in their inn back then was none other than Ye Zixuan.
Although the two of them had never met before, a grudge was already formed between them. However, it didn't matter if Ye Zixuan didn't invite Jun Mengchen. But now that Ye Zixuan intentionally said this in front of everyone, it was obvious that he had gone overboard, directly slapping the face of Jun Mengchen.
And as expected, as the sound of his voice faded, the crowd below erupted into a commotion.
"Why didn't the Saint Child invite Jun Mengchen? Sadly, I'm not familiar with the Cloud Prefecture and have no idea how high Jun Mengchen's talent is. Could it be because Ye Zixuan knows that Jun Mengchen has an undeserved reputation?"
"Everyone was invited except for Jun Mengchen of the Cloud Prefecture. He must have obtained the second position by luck and didn't live up to his name. If not, why would the third ranker Mu Yun be invited as well, sitting together with the first ranker Gu Zhantian?"
The crowd speculated. They didn't know the situation in the Cloud Prefecture and naturally felt that there was no need for Ye Zixuan to target Jun Mengchen. There was a high possibility that this young Jun Mengchen wasn't strong enough. After all, the Cloud Prefecture was considered one of the weaker prefectures among the thirteen prefectures. It was very normal for there to be exceptions. Maybe, this Jun Mengchen was lucky and obtained the second position.
Although Ye Zixuan's words caused Jun Mengchen to feel embarrassed, he didn't even know how to defend himself. After all, Ye Zixuan only said that he wasn't invited. What else could he say? Could it be that Ye Zixuan was bragging about how powerful he was?
Qin Wentian glanced at Jun Mengchen only to see this junior apprentice brother of his still inclined his head with an intense stubbornness flickering in his eyes. Yet, he wasn't angered by Ye Zixuan's words. Qin Wentian couldn't help but to praise Jun Mengchen in his heart. His junior apprentice brother didn't care about the mockery of others. From this, one could see how resolute his will was.
However, this Ye Zixuan had slapped him in the face like this. Not only did he not retaliate, he also felt displeased.
Hence, Qin Wentian's voice rang out, "I heard that the top ranker of the Eastern Prefecture is none other than Gusu Tianqi of the Eastern Prefecture. I came here today to meet him but I didn't manage to see him. Could it be that Gusu Tianqi wasn't invited to this banquet?"
Qin Wentian's voice wasn't loud, but it was as though his voice had drowned out all the other noises, causing the entire space to fall silent.
"Haha, are you joking? What sort of character is Gusu Tianqi? How can he not be invited?"
"This guy …" Everyone laughed and shook their heads. Was Qin Wentian joking on purpose?
"Do you think Gusu Tianqi is the same as you?" In the air, in the Eastern Immortal Inn, Ye Zixuan's subordinate stared at Qin Wentian as he mocked.
"In that case, it's not that Gusu Tianqi didn't come without an invitation, but rather, he intentionally didn't come?" Qin Wentian's countenance changed as his tone grew colder. This caused the mocking laughter in the surroundings to abruptly vanish as everyone stared at Qin Wentian. What was the meaning behind his words?
And indeed, they only saw Qin Wentian sweeping his gaze over them. That originally calm eyes of his suddenly gleamed with a dazzling light as he spoke with cold arrogance, "That's right, how can Gusu Tianqi be invited by just anyone? A Sage Child is merely a Sage Child after all."
After speaking, Qin Wentian flicked his sleeves and stared at Jun Mengchen and the rest, "Junior Brother Jun, you've already seen your future opponents. It's time for you to leave."
"What a pity, I didn't manage to witness Gusu Tianqi's glory." Jun Mengchen sighed. After which, the group of them actually turned and departed, ignoring the gathering of geniuses in the air.
Numerous gazes shot over from above, all of them were extremely sharp. One of them coldly stated, "Stop there."
That voice reverberated through the air, extremely resounding. However, Qin Wentian and the other three didn't seem to hear it and continued on their way. That expert stepped out, directly chasing after Qin Wentian and the rest, blocking their path. This person was none other than a subordinate of Sage Child Ye Zixuan, the one who said that Jun Mengchen had arrived. From the looks of it now, it seemed that he had done this intentionally.
In addition, this person's cultivation base was extremely strong, at the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon.
"I told you guys to stop." That person floated in the air as he spoke with cold arrogance.
"Is this your order or the order of others?" Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with coldness as he stared at that person. His deep eyes gleamed with an extremely cold light.
That person froze for a moment before replying with cold arrogance, "Naturally, it's my order."
"Who the hell do you think you are? Telling us to stop?" Qin Wentian stepped out. "If you are someone from the Dongshengxian Gate, you should know the rules. Scram."
"HOW DARE YOU!" That person coldly spoke as his aura gushed forth. This person's words were extremely disrespectful to the Sage Child. As an immortal-foundation expert, the Sage Child didn't have the authority to act personally. However, as a subordinate, he couldn't ignore this.
"BOOM!"
Qin Wentian stepped out as his aura gushed forth violently. His body directly floated up from the ground as he spoke with cold arrogance, "According to the rules of the Emperor City, if one is provoked for no reason, the one who was provoked can issue a challenge under the witness of the patrolling guards of the Emperor City. Now, would the patrolling guards be my witnesses?"
Not far away, there was a group of patrolling guards. They were also paying attention to the situation here and when they heard Qin Wentian's words, they all rushed over. They stared at the cultivation base of the person blocking them and felt bewildered. After which, the person in the lead nodded, "Yes, but once you issue a challenge, the other party has the right to kill you."
"Fine, under the witness of the patrolling guards, I hereby issue a challenge to you." Qin Wentian stared at his opponent, his words causing that person to start laughing maniacally, "You are courting death."
As the sound of his voice faded, the aura of an eighth-level ascendant gushed forth. However, Qin Wentian's silhouette flickered as a terrifying long spear suddenly appeared in his hands.
An incomparably fearsome aura gushed forth as the long spear stabbed out, instantly expanding in size as immortal light erupted forth. That person was still laughing maniacally when his countenance drastically changed as he exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Immortal-ranked weapon!"
He explosively retreated, only to see the long spear had already expanded to a length of over 100 meters. With a piercing sound, he was directly nailed to the ground in the air. With a thunderous boom, that person's body exploded as his soul dissipated.
The hearts of the crowd pounded violently. This fellow... was so violent.
Directly issuing a challenge and killing him? Too domineering.
With a flash of light, Qin Wentian directly kept the immortal-ranked weapon as he landed on the ground. It was like nothing had happened before. The four of them continued on their way, causing the patrolling guards to be stunned as they stood there.
"Courting your own humiliation." Qin Wentian's voice rang out. It was unknown if he was referring to the person who was killed or the others.
In the Eastern Immortal Inn, the Sage Child Ye Zixuan's countenance was incomparably sharp. His gaze penetrated through space and landed on Qin Wentian. However, his subordinate said that he couldn't stand the sight of Qin Wentian and this had nothing to do with him, Ye Zixuan. Qin Wentian killed his subordinate openly and there were even patrolling guards as witnesses. As an immortal-foundation character, if he wanted to deal with Qin Wentian, what would that mean? It would only be more embarrassing.
In addition, Qin Wentian was someone from the Cloud Prefecture who came here to participate in the grand banquet. It was impossible for him to do anything to Qin Wentian. After all, he was the Sage Child of the Dongshengxian Gate. If he killed Qin Wentian, what prestige would the Dongshengxian Gate have? They would be mocked by others and the reputation of the Dongshengxian Gate must not be tarnished. Even if he wanted to kill Qin Wentian, he had to do it openly.
Gu Zhantian stared at the back view of Qin Wentian. He had fought against Qin Wentian before and naturally knew how crazy this person could be. When he was quiet, he might seem harmless but once he erupted, the amount of energy he could unleash would be terrifying.
The other geniuses all glanced at Qin Wentian before shifting their gazes onto Ye Zixuan, silently musing at how arrogant this young man was.
However, they also didn't understand why Ye Zixuan would target Qin Wentian's friend, Jun Mengchen. That sentence he spoke earlier was equivalent to an insult. However, they didn't expect that a character ranked # 27 in the Cloud Prefecture would actually be able to reverse the situation, causing the Sage Child Ye Zixuan to be in a passive position.
"Everyone, please take your seats." Ye Zixuan swiftly adjusted his state of mind as he spoke. The crowd no longer talked about what happened earlier. To them, this was merely an interlude. Their purpose in coming here was firstly to give Ye Zixuan face, and secondly, they wanted to observe their opponents. The people invited by Ye Zixuan would be the strongest batch of opponents they would have to face in the future. Many of those who obstructed their path of advancement would also be among them.
The crowd soon started chatting and laughing, as though what happened earlier was nothing more than a small interlude.
As for the crowd in the surroundings, they gradually forgot about Qin Wentian and his companions. After all, in their eyes, these people were the truly dazzling existences.
To Qin Wentian and his companions, this matter was also nothing more than an interlude.
Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan. The three of them still remembered their purpose in coming here. They wanted to become the strongest three and obtain the top three rewards, rejecting the Eastern Sage Heavenly Talisman Realm and passing the test of the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
This was their unchanging goal. As for those supreme geniuses of the thirteen prefectures, they had to trample over them one by one.
In the quiet courtyard of the inn, the few of them were quietly cultivating, consolidating their foundations and strengthening themselves. In this area, the 13,000 geniuses of the thirteen prefectures, as well as many immortal-foundation experts, as well as people from the Emperor City, were all gathered here.
Although it was early in the morning and there were many people walking on the ancient pathway, the atmosphere was still extremely quiet.
"Geniuses of the Eastern Prefecture, gather!"
At this moment, a thunderous voice rang out, resounding through a radius of a million miles, akin to a thunderclap.
"Geniuses of the Qian Prefecture, gather!"
"Geniuses of the Li Prefecture, gather!"
"..."
"Geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture, gather!"
"Geniuses of the Mo Prefecture, gather!"
Thirteen voices rang out consecutively, shaking the heavens and earth. Not only in this area, but also in the entire Eastern Prefecture.
The Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures issued a summons at the same time. The meaning of this was clear even without words.
This was a summons from the Dongshengxian Gate. The 13,000 geniuses from the thirteen prefectures were finally going to clash.
In the void, silhouettes broke through the air one after another, flashing towards the same direction like bolts of lightning. Countless people stood on the ground and raised their heads to look at the experts flashing in the void. Their eyes were filled with a trace of solemnity. Was it finally going to begin?
