Ever since he lost to Cheng Yu, Qin Yuetian had become more reserved.
In the past, he had always felt that being able to attain his current strength and achievements at his age was not unparalleled in the world, but geniuses like him were absolutely rare.
Before he found Cheng Yu, although he had heard a lot about Cheng Yu, he still underestimated Cheng Yu. He felt that Cheng Yu couldn't be compared to him.
However, after fighting with him, he realized that the rumors about Cheng Yu weren't exaggerated at all. Sometimes, he even felt that those rumors weren't enough to express Cheng Yu's strength. In fact, Cheng Yu's true strength was even more terrifying than the rumors.
At least for now, it wasn't a surprise that Cheng Yu was able to kill Kunlun's Crossing Tribulation Expert.
Young Master, this time when we return, we must ask the Holy King to send more experts over to bring that brat Cheng Yu back A guard said.
That's right, Young Master, that brat is too arrogant. Young Master sincerely invited him to join our dynasty and even promised him the title of King, but this brat actually rejected it. He is simply planning to become enemies with our dynasty. Another guard said.
This time, their mission to the secular world had already failed. Not only that, even a genius like their confident Young Master was defeated by Cheng Yu.
This really shocked them, but even so, they were not convinced in their hearts.
Originally, when the Young Master asked Cheng Yu to join the dynasty and promised him the title of King, they were actually even more unhappy.
After all, if this brat really became a King, then his status and identity would be much higher than theirs.
Right now, this brat was only the Patriarch of a small family and he was already so arrogant. If he were to become a King, then even if they were the trusted aides of the Young Master, they would still be killed by him in the future.
So in their hearts, after Cheng Yu rejected the Young Master's good intentions, they were actually very happy.
And this way, they would have more excuses to retaliate against Cheng Yu.
Of course, they also admired Cheng Yu's courage. He actually dared to reject the Dynasty's invitation. Now that he rejected, he had basically offended the Dynasty.
And no matter what Cheng Yu was thinking, he was already standing on the opposite side of the Dynasty and had become their enemy.
If the Holy Master were to know of this matter, especially if he knew that Cheng Yu was so arrogant, he would definitely send out experts to capture Cheng Yu. Perhaps, he might even be killed.
No matter what, Cheng Yu was someone who had defeated the young master. It could be seen that Cheng Yu's strength was extremely terrifying.
The Holy Lord would definitely not allow such a powerful expert who could not become one of their own to exist. This was definitely a danger to the dynasty.
Therefore, when they return, they must properly report this matter to the Sage King, and let the Sage King send more experts to kill this guy.
"Regarding this matter, you'd better shut your mouths when we get back. If I find out that any of you dare to spout nonsense in front of the Holy Lord, you'll be on your own! "Qin Yuetian coldly glared at the guards and said.
"Young Master, this subordinate doesn't dare. If Young Master doesn't allow us to speak, we definitely wouldn't dare to say a word more. But this subordinate doesn't understand, why didn't the young master let the Sage Ruler know of this matter? "The guards were startled by Qin Yuetian's cold voice and hurriedly asked.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. In short, don't say anything about Cheng Yu. I will personally report it to my father!" Qin Yuetian said coldly.
The dynasty's sphere of influence was so big, and he was not the only young master in the dynasty.
There was no young master who did not wish to become the next Sage King.
This time, his father had given him the mission of capturing Cheng Yu, which was also a test for him. But from the looks of it, he had clearly failed this test.
But even if he failed, he did not wish for the other young masters to go to the secular world to capture Cheng Yu.
If they succeeded, wouldn't it make them seem very incompetent?
Therefore, he had to persuade his father not to send anyone to the secular world. As for what reason to use, it was very simple. When the time came, he would just say that the internal strife in the dynasty a few years ago was not caused by Cheng Yu.
Because they did not have any evidence to prove that Cheng Yu was the mastermind behind the war.
"Yes! Young Master, we understand. It's just that this time, our mission has failed. The Sage King will definitely send people to capture Cheng Yu "The guard said.
"Hmph, I have my ways" When Qin Yuetian thought of the battle with Cheng Yu that day, he still felt his blood boiling.
Perhaps it was because he had never met such a talented opponent before, so he found it hard to suppress his emotions.
If he really wanted to capture Cheng Yu, he would also think of a way to come personally. He would definitely not allow others to interfere in this matter.
"Young Master, look, in front is Kaiyuan City. Let's enter the city and rest first" A guard pointed to the front and said happily.
Ever since the battle with Cheng Yu, the few of them had more or less suffered injuries. Even the young master had suffered quite a bit of injuries. It could be seen how terrifying Cheng Yu was.
However, what was puzzling was that when they arrived at the city gate, they saw that the city gate was filled with people. The city guards were actually interrogating the people entering the city one by one.
"Young Master, what's going on? When did this Kaiyuan City become so strict? Even entering the city requires an identity check? "The guard asked curiously.
Generally speaking, whether it was an ordinary person or a cultivator, entering the city would not be checked.
This was because not many people dared to cause trouble in the city. That was undoubtedly courting death. Ordinary people did not have the ability to do so. Cultivators did not have the guts to do so.
They did not return the way they came. It wasn't easy for them to come out. Naturally, they had to take a good look around.
Therefore, this was their first time coming to Kaiyuan City. However, regardless of whether it was their first time coming here, they believed that there was no other city that would be so strict.
Since it had become like this, something must have happened.
"What happened in the city? Why are you guys interrogating the people entering the city? "A guard walked forward and asked the city guard.
"Who are you?" That guard obviously did not know Qin Yuetian's identity. After all, a person like the dynasty's young master was someone that even their city lord might not have seen before, let alone a small figure like them.
"What do you think?" That guard took out a token. On it, there was a word 'King' written on it.
"What's this?" That guard obviously did not recognize what token it was. However, it seemed to be quite powerful.
"If you don't understand, then let your city lord come and take a look!" The guard said arrogantly.
Although they were only the young master's personal guards, compared to a small city lord, their status and strength were many times higher.
Therefore, even for people like them, a small city lord really did not care about them.
"General, do you recognize this token?" That guard was a bit discerning. Although he felt that the other party was a bit arrogant, before understanding the situation, he did not dare to offend the other party. He quickly called his superior over.
"This is … Kaiyuan City's General Fang Guo greets sir. I did not know sir was here. If I have offended you, please forgive me!" That general didn't pay attention at first. However, when he looked closely at the word 'King', his face immediately changed. He was so scared that he quickly knelt on the ground and said while trembling.
Perhaps he wasn't very clear about the matters of the dynasty, but he knew that the City Lord had instructed all the guards at the city gates about an important matter, and that was regarding this token.
If he was not wrong, this should be the "Sage King Token" that the city lord had told them about.
Naturally, he did not know what this Sage King Token was, nor did he know what it meant. However, the city lord had said that if they saw someone with this token, they must worship them as if they were their ancestors. At the same time, they must immediately inform him so that he would personally welcome them.
However, today, the city lord would not come out to welcome them …
Of course, after so many years, today was the first time he saw this legendary token.
"At least you have some foresight. My young master is here. Hurry up and tell your city lord to come out and welcome my young master. If there is any delay, there will be consequences!" That guard saw that the general was like this, and immediately felt a bit more comfortable.
Everyone at the city gate looked at Qin Yuetian and the others. They did not know who these people were, but seeing that even the city gate guards were so scared, it was clear that these people were not simple.
"This …!" That general clearly felt a bit awkward.
"What? Could it be that your City Lord really thinks that Kai Yuan City is his? My young master is here, and he dares not to come out to welcome him? "That guard could not help but feel a bit angry.
"Sir, please calm down! It is not that our city lord is unwilling to come out to meet him, but … but he is no longer here! "That general was so scared that he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly explained.
"No longer here? He left the city? "That guard's expression became slightly better.
"No, our city lord was killed by someone the day before yesterday!" That general Fang Guo explained.
"Killed by someone? Who would be so daring? To actually dare to kill a city lord? "The guard was taken aback.
Although many people did not know about the existence of the dynasty, everyone knew that the city lord had a powerful force behind him.
Therefore, although the city lord was not the strongest in this city, no one dared to offend him.
Now that someone actually dared to kill the city lord, that was simply not putting the force behind the city lord in their eyes.
"We also do not know. We only know that the murderer is a black-robed man, very strong, at least above the Great Vehicle Stage!" Fang Guo said.
"Great Vehicle Stage? A Great Vehicle Stage dares to be so arrogant? "The guard was a little surprised.
The strength of a Great Vehicle Stage was indeed very strong, but in front of a dynasty, a Great Vehicle Stage was nothing. To actually dare to kill a city lord, that was too arrogant!
"Sir, we received news that not only our Kaiyuan City, but the city lords of several nearby cities have also been killed these days!" Fang Guo continued.
