Seeing the Champion Marquis leave the state banquet with a flick of his sleeve, the officials of the Rising Cloud, including King Chan Huicang, all felt a little uneasy.
Everyone knew that the Champion Marquis had left without saying goodbye because he was furious.
In front of so many people, not only was he fiercely criticized by Hong Yi, but he was also played by Chan Yinsha in the end. For the Marquis Champion, who had made so many contributions and was so powerful that even someone as powerful as Emperor Yun Meng could not eat, this was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
No, this was worse than being slapped in the face.
"Brilliant indeed. Silver Veil's move is too powerful. The Champion Marquis is so calm and mighty, but he still disregarded etiquette and stormed out of the state banquet. He must be really angry."
When Hong Yi saw the Champion Marquis leave in a huff, he knew what was going on. He secretly praised Chan Yinsha's ability to play mind games.
Hong Yi knew why the Champion Marquis had come to the Rising Cloud Nation. The first reason was to investigate the Fubo General, Xiao Tianyao. The second reason was because of Chan Yinsha.
For a person like the Champion Marquis to find a dao companion, a Daemon Immortal like Chan Yinsha was naturally the most ideal candidate. However, in the great hall just now, he was fiercely criticized by the 'weak' Hong Yi, and finally, Chan Yinsha publicly announced that Hong Yi was his dao companion.
The subtle psychological blow had planted the seeds of failure in the Marquis Champion's heart.
"The most amazing thing is that I criticized you as a 'weak' Martial Arts Grandmaster, and then your wishful thinking fell through. This situation is like a famous scholar-official being humiliated by a beggar on the street, but he can't do anything about it. He can only suppress it in his heart, and there's no need to mention how uncomfortable it is. Everyone has seven emotions and six desires. What you're cultivating isn't the Supreme Dao of Forgetting Emotions! "
Hong Yi calculated in his mind.
"Today's matter can be considered as a small insult to you. Perhaps it won't shake your Dao Heart, but you will definitely take revenge on me. When the time comes, you will find out that I am a Half Tribulation Lightning expert … Then, I will ruthlessly defeat you and suppress you. Then, your Dao Heart will truly be destroyed! From then on, he was unable to recover from the setback and stopped at Wu Sheng's realm! Furthermore, I have embarrassed myself in front of the civil and military officials of the Rising Cloud Nation. Let's see how you are going to continue investigating me. Unless you have concrete evidence, if word of this gets out, people will only say that you are abusing your position to avenge a personal grudge and maliciously frame me! "
Hong Yi knew that he had slandered the Champion Marquis a little bit. Although he couldn't truly destroy his opponent's Dao-heart, he was certain that the Champion Marquis wouldn't be convinced. Perhaps he would seek him out to defeat him and humiliate him once more. An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye.
However, when his opponent came to look for him, he suddenly found out that he was a Half Thunder Tribulation expert and defeated him in an instant!
In that case, the Marquis Champion would truly be in a tragedy. His dao heart would be completely destroyed.
Hong Yi's calculations were very accurate. He knew that the Champion Marquis Champion would come looking for him sooner or later. "Good for good, and justice for grievances." This was the logic of scholars. Whether it was Daoist cultivators, martial arts practitioners, or scholar-officials, this was an iron law.
Only extremely pedantic monks and pedantic scholars who were as soft as eggs would not take revenge after receiving resentment. True scholars, Confucians, Buddhists, and Daoists, would seek revenge ruthlessly.
Even Buddhas would be angry, and the anger of Buddhas was especially strong. Once the anger was born, it would transform into the Ming Of Silla to destroy the world.
"I wonder when this Champion Marquis Champion will seek revenge after being attacked by me today? Let's see how much he can endure? "Hong Yi thought to himself.
With Hong Yi's current cultivation, he was naturally not afraid of the Champion Marquis Champion seeking revenge.
Back in Heavenly Witch City, Hong Yi was confident that he could "grind" the Champion Marquis Champion to death. Now that he had absorbed the blood of the heretic god and half of the soul of Sage Tu Yuan, a Thunder Tribulation expert?
With his current achievements, he was already a first-rate expert in the Daoist world. Given time, he would become someone like the Peacock King. It would not be impossible for him to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Hall Master of Xuantian Hall, the True Dipper Sect Master, and the Essence Temple Pontiff. Naturally, he was not afraid of the Champion Marquis.
Moreover, Hong Yi's attack had caused the Champion Marquis Champion to be unable to continue investigating.
If he continued to investigate and could not find conclusive evidence, he would be suspected of abusing his position for personal vengeance. Unless the Champion Marquis killed all 800,000 people in the Rising Cloud Nation.
This was clearly impossible.
In the confrontation with the Champion Marquis Champion, Hong Yi had won a small battle.
However, there was still a long way to go.
Ever since he killed the Fubo General Xiao Tianyao and seized the imperial envoy's dragon flag, Hong Yi knew that he had more or less formed a grudge with the Champion Marquis. There was no possibility of cooperation.
Moreover, even if he did not kill the Fubo General Xiao Tianyao, Hong Yi did not have a good impression of the Champion Marquis. He subconsciously considered the Champion Marquis to be his opponent.
Hong Yi was also a young man. Naturally, he was pretentious, hot-blooded, and brave. How could he be suppressed by the Champion Marquis?
Hong Yi had analyzed his mentality very clearly. However, he did not intend to restrain it.
The jealousy and competitiveness of a young man was innate. Blindly suppressing it and pretending to be mature was like using a sandbag to block a flood. Not only was it against the heavens, but it was also easy to cause problems. It was better to vent it out.
"Since you shine so brightly, I will ruthlessly suppress you. I will let you know that you are inferior to me." Hong Yi thought to himself. Looking at the Champion Marquis's departing figure, he felt a wave of comfort in his heart. He could not help but feel very happy.
"My son? What, what should I do? "
Seeing the Champion Marquis leave with Xiao Anran, the Divine Eagle King, and a group of guards, the Yun Nation's ruler, Chan Huicang, and the Cabinet Minister looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Offending the Champion Marquis was not a laughing matter.
"My son, even if you have chosen a dao companion, we can go back to the palace's study and discuss it with Father. There is no need to say it in front of the Champion Marquis, Grand Marshal. The Champion Marquis asked to see you as soon as he met with Father. It is obvious that he is here for you. Now that you are saying this in front of all the officials, isn't it obvious that you want to humiliate him? Our Yun Nation has just gotten better. The people are living and working in peace, and etiquette has also been established. I can't bear to see our foundation destroyed. Back then, the ancestors of the Chan family overcame all obstacles and went overseas to establish this foundation. If it were to be destroyed in my hands, this … "
Chan Huicang's voice was very low. He looked at Chan Yinsha with a distressed expression. However, he could not blame Chan Yinsha, so he could only sigh.
At this time, all the officials in the hall were silent.
"Although the Yun Nation's etiquette is good and their knowledge is good, they lack the strength of a true Confucian. A mere Champion Marquis has caused the entire nation to lament! In the Da Qian court, those civil officials with the strength of character dared to criticize the Marquis even when the army attacked the city. This is the embryonic form of the Sage Dao. From this, we can see the difference between a nation outside of civilization and a celestial empire. "
At this time, Hong Yi looked at the officials of the Yun Nation and secretly compared them. He immediately compared the difference between the officials of a celestial empire and those of a nation outside of civilization.
The officials of a celestial empire, the true scholarly officials, all inherited the strength of the Sage Dao. Twenty years ago, when Yun Meng's army attacked the Jade Capital, several civil officials with the strength of character, including the imperial censors, stood on the city walls and loudly cursed without fear of death. Even if some of the officials were captured by Yun Meng, they still cursed to death. They looked down on the barbarians outside of civilization.
This was the true strength of the Sage Dao. The officials of a nation outside of civilization didn't have such strength of character.
"The illustrious history of the Middle-Earth Heaven Prefecture for thousands of years, as well as the pride ingrained in the bones of the scholars, are things that outsiders won't be able to learn. I'm fortunate to be born in the Heaven Prefecture." Hong Yi sighed emotionally in his heart.
"Father, you don't have to worry about this. It's impossible for a mere Champion Marquis to touch the foundation of the Yun Nation. If he wants revenge, I will definitely fight him and kill him in the midst of the army."
Chan Yinsha saw that Chan Huicang was at a loss and couldn't help but smile.
The moment these words came out, Chan Huicang was shocked! His hands and feet trembled, and he almost wanted to cover Chan Yinsha's mouth. After that, he glanced outside. The sound of the Champion Marquis's footsteps was already very far away. He was certain that the Champion Marquis didn't hear it and only then did he heave a sigh of relief!
"My son, be careful with your words. Although he has left, with Wu Sheng's hearing ability, he should be able to hear it clearly! My son, your words are simply a provocation! If the Champion Marquis hears it, he will not rest until he is dead! "
Chan Huicang hurriedly said.
"Father, you don't have to be so flustered. Who knows, maybe one day, you will have to change the title of King. You might even be crowned Emperor!" Chan Yinsha smiled. "However, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to the study room of the palace to talk. I still have some important matters to discuss with Father."
"Be careful with your words!"
Chan Huicang hurriedly said.
For a country like the Yun Nation, the ruler could only be called King and not Emperor. Otherwise, they would suffer a blow. Only Tianzhou Da Qian, Huo Luo, and Yun Meng could be called Emperors. Even Yuan Tu and Shen Feng couldn't be called Emperors. They could only be called Kings.
"Alright! I won't say anymore. Father, tell the officials to disperse! "Chan Yinsha said.
Chan Huicang hurriedly waved his hand and ordered the ceremonial officers to disperse the officials.
The grand state banquet ended on a sour note. The officials walked out of the banquet in fear, as if a catastrophe was about to befall them at any moment.
Offending the Champion Marquis made them feel like a disaster was about to befall them. Even the Yun Nation was afraid of the Champion Marquis, let alone the Yun Nation.
"How dare you! The Silver Shark King was too arrogant and despotic! How dare she say such words? I will go up and have a good fight with her. Let's see what she is capable of to be so arrogant! "
The Divine Eagle King was furious!
"Even the Peacock King, the Heavenly Snake King, and the White Ape King wouldn't dare to say such words. Silver Shark is indeed too arrogant."
Xiao Anran was also obviously angry!
After the three of them left the hall, although they were already far away, with their cultivation, they could clearly hear the latter part of Chan Yinsha's words. They couldn't help but be furious!
"This is getting more and more interesting."
Surprisingly, the Champion Marquis was not angry this time. Instead, a smile appeared on his face. "Silver Shark is doing this because she knows that my martial arts and fist intent revolves around the power of creation, so she wants to destroy my Taoist heart and make it impossible for me to become a Human Immortal. What a joke. That little Hong Yi can destroy my Taoist heart with just a sour debate. My Taoist heart is made of tofu. Hmph! This Marquis and Silver Shark have no enmity. How dare she plot to destroy my Taoist heart? I dare to conclude that the disappearance of General Fubo, Xiao Tianyao, is definitely related to her! "
"Since she is related, let's go up and capture her! Force her to tell us! "
Xiao Anran said hurriedly.
"There's no hurry." The Champion Marquis smiled. "We don't have any evidence now. If we just enter the Yun Nation, it will be hard to explain to His Majesty. Moreover, I was criticized by that Confucian brat today. If we take action now, we will be suspected of taking revenge! However, that Confucian brat is quite interesting. That Silver Shark actually became dao companions with him in order to destroy my Taoist heart? Just based on his Grandmaster Martial Dao, it is really a little unbelievable. "
"Marquis, just kill that brat." The Divine Eagle King showed his decisive Demon King nature.
The world's eight great Demon Immortals were all existences that killed people like weeds.
"Such an interesting brat, it would be a pity to let him die. Even a pig needs to be fattened before it is killed!" The Champion Marquis laughed. "Moreover, Chan Yinsha is also very interesting. It would be a pity to kill her. I have to have some fun with her. Such a proud Demon King, it would be such a waste not to have some fun with her."
"This world is my playground. I have to do it with a playful attitude. Let's go back to Da Qian!" The Champion Marquis waved his folding fan, moved, and left.
"Did you destroy his Taoist heart?"
Arachnida Gigantea bounced.
"How could it be so easy? I only planted a seed in his heart. To truly destroy his Taoist heart, I have to defeat him in terms of strength!" Hong Yi said. "However, we have formed an enmity with him today. I'm afraid he has already determined that we are the ones who killed General Fubo. Silver Yarn, use your influence and let Yun Meng's people know that General Fubo is dead. I think they will definitely take credit for it and ask for rewards! At that time, everyone in the world will know that General Fubo was killed by Yun Meng's people. The Champion Marquis will not be able to overturn the case! "
