Yi Qianhua's face was very red. It was as if the scorching sun that had just risen had not shone on anyone but him. He felt like fainting from the scorching sun.
He was an elder of the Red Cloud Peak. Although he was a black-clothed man of the lowest rank, he did not have to show respect to anyone. This was because he was backed by the Red Cloud Peak, the true ruler of the Jianghu of the Song Nation.
He could decide the life and death of a martial arts genius with a single word. Even if one won first place, he could just say that the Red Cloud Peak didn't need him, and he would still not be able to enter the Red Cloud Peak. He could humiliate the black-clothed elder of the Saber Soul Sect in public, and the others wouldn't even dare to fart.
Even when the Chief Steward of the Song Nation dealt with the killer cultivator, he had to ask for his opinion. The Chief Steward would do whatever he said.
Then, the killing Cultivator whom he thought was not a talent two hours ago and whom he had decided to kill raised his arm and slapped him in the face, leaving him at a loss of what to do.
This slap in the face was very loud. The big shots standing in a row on the high platform were all dumbfounded. The youngest among them was in their forties. In at least forty years, they had never seen or heard of an elder of the Scarlet Firmament Peak being humiliated. Now that they saw and heard it, they were all frightened.
Even the Red Cloud Peak did not give face to this killer cultivator.
The old eunuch swallowed his saliva and could not help but look back at Zhao Ye, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne.
Zhao Ye had originally planned to step forward to welcome Xie Tian. However, he was about to become Xie Tian's father-in-law. His attitude toward Xie Tian had changed dramatically, so he felt a little embarrassed. He ordered the old eunuch to announce the imperial edict while he sat on the high platform and waited for the grateful Xie Tian to kneel down and thank the emperor.
This was how a father-in-law should behave.
Then, this father-in-law, who had thought that he had found a worthy son-in-law, saw Xie Tian slap the Red Cloud Peak without hesitation.
Zhao Ye touched his cheek involuntarily. The joy and anticipation in his eyes turned into shock.
This was the top sect of the Song Nation, the Red Cloud Peak!
How dare he?
Finally, Zhao Ye saw the old eunuch's questioning gaze.
He understood that the old eunuch was asking if he still wanted to talk about the engagement after the Red Sky Peak was slapped in the face. He also knew the old eunuch's opinion. Otherwise, the shrewd old eunuch wouldn't turn around and ask him.
Zhao Ye also felt that in order to save face, he shouldn't tell Xie Tian about this matter. But on second thought, everyone on the high platform knew his plan. If he chose not to say it after the Red Cloud Peak was slapped in the face, wouldn't that be even more shameful?
Moreover, even if the Red Cloud Peak can't move Xie Tian, it doesn't mean that I can't move you!
Claim power? I'll give you the title of Third Rank Formidable General!
Money? I will give you mountains of gold and silver!
I can even recommend you to the peak of the Ice Mountain to explore the Heavenly Dao!
"I'm a little tired. Do as you please." Zhao Ye said lightly and gave the old eunuch a confident look. Then, he slowly walked toward the palace with a group of young eunuchs.
The old eunuch blinked his eyes. With his Innate Realm cultivation, he was sure that he didn't see wrongly. In such a dangerous situation, the Emperor actually allowed him to speak.
"Alas, worthy of the Emperor's heart. This old servant admits defeat …" The old eunuch secretly praised the Emperor's domineering attitude. He walked to Xie Tian with a smile and said kindly, "Young Master Xie Tian, Princess Qingping will return to the imperial capital soon. When do you have time to come to the palace to express your gratitude? This old servant will have people prepare for your marriage with Princess Qingping."
Xie Tian was about to talk to Wen Shui. He looked at the old eunuch for a long time and asked seriously, "Excuse me, what does it mean to climb up the social ladder?"
Puff!
Damn! These words are too hurtful, don't you know? Many bigwigs on the high platform immediately burst into laughter. The old eunuch's face turned black and red, and his whole body trembled. While trembling, he looked back at the palace gate with trepidation. As a result, his jaw dropped, and his face was full of horror.
"Your, Your Majesty …"
The bigwigs turned their heads in panic and saw the Emperor of Song Kingdom climbing up from the ground with the help of a few frightened young eunuchs. His imperial robe was full of muddy water.
Zhao Ye climbed up in a panic. He glanced at the young eunuchs beside him and didn't say anything or reprimand them. He walked into the depths of the palace silently.
Everyone knew that these young eunuchs wouldn't live more than two hours because the Emperor of a kingdom who had been humiliated needed to vent his anger.
"Xie Tian, don't talk nonsense!"
Wen Shui only knew that Xie Tian was skilled in martial arts, but he never expected that Xie Tian, who was usually quiet, would be so deadly with his words. He was afraid that Xie Tian would be humiliated again, so he hurriedly pulled Xie Tian behind him. He cupped his fists and apologized to Yi Qianhua and the old eunuch, "I'm sorry. He's just a child and doesn't know any better."
Yi Qianhua wanted to smash Xie Tian into smithereens, but if Xie Tian didn't go to the Crimson Cloud Peak, he would become Great Master Wu Chen's disciple. Even if he had the guts to fight with Great Master Wu Chen for a genius, he wouldn't dare to kill Great Master Wu Chen's future disciple.
"It seems that my Crimson Cloud Peak is unworthy of you. Hehe, Xie Tian, I'll remember you!" Yi Qianhua said with a fake smile. He didn't hide the anger in his eyes at all, so he flicked his sleeves and left.
"Hehe, Young Master Xie Tian is just a child's babble. Well, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." The old eunuch couldn't stay any longer no matter how thick-skinned he was. He smiled bitterly and chased after Zhao Ye.
"Xie Tian!"
Zhou Zhaoyang, who had been watching the competition from below the stage, finally couldn't help but run over. He didn't have time to bow to the big shots and asked anxiously, "You … you really don't want to go to the Crimson Cloud Peak?"
Xie Tian knew that Zhou Zhaoyang wanted to go to the Crimson Cloud Peak to cultivate, so he smiled and said, "Yes, I don't need to practice with you anymore."
Zhou Zhaoyang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. He looked at his father, who had an unfriendly expression, and then looked at Xie Tian, who was smiling. After struggling for a while, he suddenly said, "Then, then I won't go either!"
"Ouch!"
Yi Qianhua, who hadn't gone far, stumbled. The big shots on the stage quickly turned around with tense faces, afraid that they would laugh out loud if they lost their composure.
Slap!
"Little brat, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Boran's face darkened. He slapped the back of Zhou Zhaoyang's head and said to the crowd with a hollow laugh, "Ha, you know that. He's just a kid and doesn't know anything."
"Yes, yes, we know."
The big shots nodded seriously, but in their hearts, they thought, Elder Yi, you are so unlucky. Two kids can make you look so miserable.
Zhou Zhaoyang rubbed his head and said with a grimace, "Father, I have broken through to the Inner Qi Realm."
"What?"
Everyone's eyes bulged as they looked at Zhou Zhaoyang in disbelief. Zhou Zhaoyang smiled proudly and began to circulate the Inner Qi in his body.
"Little brat, what … when did you break through?" Zhou Boran was elated when he felt his son's Inner Qi.
Zhou Zhaoyang smiled sheepishly and said, "When I woke up this morning, I learned from Xie Tian and practiced the Brute Force Realm technique from start to finish. Then, I broke through."
Which Brute Force Realm martial artist did not practice the technique from start to finish after waking up? Damn it, how could he break through so easily just because he said the words "learned from Xie Tian"? The crowd cursed under their breath, but they were jealous and jealous.
"Uh, ha! Congratulations, Master of the Zhou Family. Bianliang has another 15-year-old Inner Qi Realm! "
"He is indeed the second genius of the Great Song Dynasty. This potential … Old Chen, why did you poke me?"
The person who had spoken immediately shut his mouth when he saw the smiling Xie Tian. With Xie Tian by his side, there was no place for other geniuses to stay.
Zhou Boran was not affected by Xie Tian. He was overflowing with excitement and kept patting Zhou Zhaoyang's shoulder. With tears in his eyes, he laughed and said, "Good, good, good! You are indeed a good son of the Zhou Family! "
"Dad, so you agree for me to follow Xie Tian?"
"Uh …" Zhou Boran's face darkened. "Let's think about it at length. Everyone, I, Old Zhou, will take my leave first!"
After that, he pulled Zhou Zhaoyang and ran away while laughing.
"Let's go too." Xie Tian looked up at Wen Shui and said with a smile.
Wen Shui sighed. He never expected that with just a few words from Xie Tian, he could shatter the scene that everyone was looking forward to. He even angered the Great Song Emperor and the Red Cloud Peak Elder to the point that they tripped over.
"But, isn't this Xie Tian …" Wen Shui couldn't help but laugh and nodded. "Okay, let's go."
Xie Tian picked up the confused Boss Jia, called Brother Ma, and followed Wen Shui toward the crowd. After a few steps, he stopped and looked back at the silent Xu Family. He said softly, "When Young Master Xu wakes up, please tell him that he is the strongest opponent I have met so far. I am very grateful to him."
"Brat, you still want to make sarcastic remarks?" Xu Ruhai's face was livid.
Xie Tian shook his head with a smile and turned to leave.
"Okay." Xu Batian stopped Xu Ruhai and sighed with mixed feelings. "He didn't make sarcastic remarks. Let's go back."
The highly anticipated Battle of Geniuses ended hastily.
The tens of thousands of people who came to watch the competition didn't understand what happened at all. A wonderful battle was interrupted midway because of the killing of cultivators. Now that it was over, there wasn't even a post-match speech. What kind of speech was this?
However, no one dared to cause trouble. Groups of majestic Imperial Guards ran out of the palace gates and began to clear the place. If anyone complained, the Imperial Guards would slash them with the back of their sabers. In just half an hour, the square outside the palace gates was empty except for rotten eggs and leaves.
A gust of strong wind blew, swirling the rotten leaves in the air. Finally, they landed on the lonely and spacious arena.
It was as if they were still carrying out their mission, wanting to place their bodies on the bodies of those who were despised by the heavens and earth. Unfortunately, they didn't know that the person who became a genius by killing cultivators, who was despised and ridiculed by everyone, was truly a dazzling genius.
An hour later, news came from the palace that the Emperor was inexplicably furious and personally killed a few young eunuchs. Even the Empress who came to console him was slapped away.
Two hours later, Elder Yi Qianhua of the Crimson Cloud Peak walked out of the north gate of Bianliang City and returned to Crimson Cloud City. He didn't let anyone send him off, which was unprecedented.
Three hours later, the Grand Sima Residence announced that it was closing its doors. At the same time, the news of the Grand Sima's retirement spread throughout the city.
Four hours later, the sky above Bianliang City collapsed.
This was because a 12-year-old Inner Qi realm martial artist had appeared in Bianliang City.
This was because the youngest Inner Qi realm martial artist in history had defeated Lin Shahu, the Sect Leader of the Black Tiger Gang, who was in the middle stage of Inner Qi realm, with one punch in the main hall of the Black Tiger Gang.
This person was named Xie Tian. In the morning, he was competing with the number one genius of the Song Kingdom, Xu Zhantang. In the middle of the competition, he broke through to the Inner Qi realm and killed Lin Shahu. After he returned, he rejected the Crimson Cloud Peak's offer of marriage and accidentally abducted another disciple of the Crimson Cloud Peak.
Oh, it was said that the Emperor and the Elder of the Crimson Cloud Peak had a tacit understanding and tripped.
Bianliang City went crazy because of this person. In the past hundreds of years, the capital of the Song Kingdom had produced countless Zhou Zhaoyang and Xu Zhantang, but there had never been such a world-shaking figure.
No matter how thick and tall the city walls of Bianliang City were, they were trembling and rumbling at this moment. After standing on the land of the Song Kingdom for hundreds of years, they finally felt the powerful impact of an insignificant person from a bitter and cold land.
