Xuan Yang’s expression turned more and more unsightly, staring at Zi Daoyang who was in the air.
Although Zi Daoyang’s tone was casual, as though speaking of an extremely insignificant thing, how could it be possible that this was insignificant to him, Xuan Yang? Xuan Xing had been publicly killed by Qin Wentian, and the Twin Stars Alliance was also humiliated. This hatred between them was a death grudge, yet Zi Daoyang was asking to resolve everything with just a single sentence? Telling him not to create any more trouble in the future?
Zi Daoyang completely didn’t care about Xuan Yang’s feelings at all. His absolute arrogance could be heard in that casual tone Even if Xuan Yang was ranked #4, Zi Daoyang didn’t place him in his eyes at all.
Hatred for Zi Daoyang festered in Xuan Yang’s heart. If an opportunity ever presented itself, he would definitely cleanse away this bout of humiliation.
Zi Daoyang naturally understood that Xuan Yang would hate him. But, he didn’t care about it at all. There was no need for him to be bothered because Xuan Yang was simply worth nothing in his eyes.
He, Zi Daoyang, was a descendant of the Violet Emperor. The Xuan Emperor depended on his Heavenly Mystic Mirror Art to achieve an insanely powerful defense, but in turn, it was hard for him to overwhelm others. There was no way the Xuan Emperor could rank equally alongside with those supreme characters whose names truly rocked the realms. And as the son of the Xuan Emperor, Xuan Yang depended on his mirror art to achieve his undefeatable position, ignoring the attacks of those who were stronger than him. In the end, Zi Daoyang couldn’t be bothered with him.
Naturally, only an existence like Zi Daoyang could dare to act like this. If it were someone ranked at the bottom of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, they could only stare up in awe at Xuan Yang’s powerful mirror reflecting art. Since their positions were different, the things they saw were naturally different as well.
The spectators took note of Xuan Yang’s silence, and they could all sense the degree of humiliation he was enduring in his heart. But in the next moment, Xuan Yang smiled. "Sure, since you’ve put it that way, I won’t cause trouble for Qing`er anymore. I’ve long heard of the relationship between the Violet Emperor and the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, but I didn’t expect they’d be as close as brothers. I believe that Brother Zi and Princess Qing`er might even become a couple one day."
After he spoke, Xuan Yang stepped out, moving towards the Twin Stars Alliance. Upon hearing Xuan Yang’s last sentence, strange expressions appeared on everyone’s faces. They understood that Xuan Yang had intentionally said that sentence, wanting to incite even more conflict between Qin Wentian and Zi Daoyang. And as expected, although Zi Daoyang’s expression didn’t change, a cold light flashed through Qin Wentian’s eyes.
There was no need for Qin Wentian to speculate anymore; even the spectators could tell that Zi Daoyang had arrived intending to form a closer relationship with Princess Qing`er. Although no one knew what his true purpose was, two facts were enough for Qin Wentian to view Zi Daoyang with enmity: first, that he requested Xuan Yang’s promise, and second, that he wanted Qin Wentian to apologize. Hence, Xuan Yang wanted to deepen the hatred, raising the possibility that Qin Wentian would clash with Zi Daoyang in the future.
At that time, there was no need for him to act. Qin Wentian would surely be extremely miserable if he chose to fight Zi Daoyang.
"Do you still have the face to create trouble?" Qin Wentian mocked. For a moment, Xuan Yang’s expression turned colder. Although Zi Daoyang had interrupted their battle, the spectators had clearly seen that the Twin Stars Alliance had been in the inferior position. Although he and Qing`er hadn’t finished their battle, Qin Wentian had already defeated Xiao Lengyue. After choosing to form an alliance, the new Twin Stars Alliance had been defeated by this newly established Qin Sect.
"Daoyang gege." Xiao Lengyue inclined her head and stared at Zi Daoyang who was in the air.
"Lengyue, you and I can also be considered acquaintances. However, Qing`er is the daughter of my uncle, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. If you were defeated, you should treat this as a valuable lesson. Just let this matter end here," Zi Daoyang spoke. Although Xiao Lengyue was disappointed, what else could she do after Zi Daoyang had already said so much? She could only nod her head.
"This matter shall end here. The geniuses of the immortal realms came to the City of Ancient Emperors solely because they wanted to raise their level of strength. Naturally, the legacies left behind by the ancients should be our priority. All of you should try your luck at the Underworld Mountains," Zi Daoyang spoke calmly and then continued, "First, we had news of Ancient Emperor Yi’s secret art, the God’s Hand, and now we’ve received news of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s legacy. This is quite fortunate, but I’m afraid this will mean a violent storm of commotion in the near future."
The spectators froze when they heard Zi Daoyang’s words. It was just as he’d stated: occasionally, the legacies of ancient emperors would appear throughout the generations, and all the geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors would fight for the chance to obtain them. It was as fortunate as it was extremely rare for two terrifyingly powerful legacies to appear one after another.
Who knows that maybe for this generation, there would be even more legacies appearing one after another. Their true purpose here should be to fight for a chance to obtain those legacies.
"Qing`er, since this matter has come to an end, I’ll go ahead and make a move first. If you have anything else that needs my help, you can come look for me anytime." Zi Daoyang smiled at Qing`er. After which, his silhouette flickered and he departed from the area, still exuding an air of elegance.
Qing`er’s countenance was like ice. When she saw Qin Wentian turning to her, a light gleamed in her eyes as she explained, "I’m not acquainted with him."
"Silly lass." Qin Wentian smiled. After which, he held Qing`er’s hand, as though to announce his ownership. This scene left no doubt in everyone’s minds. The relationship between Qin Wentian and the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Princess Qing`er, was that of lovers.
However, the spectators still didn’t understand what Zi Daoyang’s true purpose was. If he wanted to pursue Princess Qing`er, Qin Wentian would undoubtedly be a very strong rival in love. But it didn’t matter how you looked at it, all aspects of Zi Daoyang were more outstanding than when compared to Qin Wentian. Even if the Evergreen Immortal Emperor were to choose, he would still pick the son of the Violet Emperor, Zi Daoyang.
Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue stood together, with the members of the Twin Stars Alliance. Xuan Yang icily stared and spoke, "Qin Wentian, you should just hide behind that woman forever."
After speaking, he left with a flick of his sleeves, exuding a strong reluctance that lingered in the air as he led the members of the Twin Stars Alliance away.
"A defeated dog, yet still acting so arrogant and lofty. Truly ridiculous," Qin Wentian emotionlessly commented, and his words caused Xuan Yang, who was about to leave, to turn around once more as his aura fluctuated. Clearly, Xuan Yang was extremely unhappy in his heart.
"This Zi Daoyang is so arrogant, who does he think he is? I’m pissed off just by staring at him," Jun Mengchen stepped forward, cursing in a low voice. He was extremely annoyed at seeing Zi Daoyang’s attitude. He hated that his strength was too low in the City of Ancient Emperors. Otherwise, he would surely have challenged that arrogant fellow to a grand fight, everything else be damned.
"He’s the top ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, the son of the Violet Emperor. How can such a character not be arrogant? But yes, it’s true that he’s too condescending," Zi Qingxuan also spoke. All of Zi Daoyang’s words and actions seemed to suggest that with his very presence, everyone had to listen to his orders. Forcing Xuan Yang to give up, wanting to make Qin Wentian apologize, and only deciding to stop at the end on account of Qing`er. The things he did made people feel like they still owed a favor to Zi Daoyang himself.
"Sister Qingxuan, you both share the same surname, don’t tell me you’re part of his clan?" Jun Mengchen joked, his words causing Zi Qingxuan to glare at him.
"Although Zi Daoyang is arrogant, there’s no doubt that he has the capabilities to back that up. Although Xuan Yang is ranked #4, with only a disparity of three positions between him and Zi Daoyang, their combat strength simply differs by too much. Xuan Yang didn’t even have the courage to refute Zi Daoyang."
Hua Taixu analyzed the situation calmly. Those who had confidence in their strength would naturally have the tendency to be condescending and arrogant. Zi Daoyang was a very good example.
"You’re right, if they truly fought, Xuan Yang wouldn’t even be able to stand up to a single strike. Their strength is simply on different levels. This also means that if Zi Daoyang wants to deal with you guys, all five of you would be easily defeated by him." A voice drifted over, without a trace of politeness. But when Qin Wentian glanced at the person who spoke, he had no doubts of the truth in that person’s statement.
Because…the person who spoke was none other than the #3 ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, Nanfeng Yunxi. Given how high her rank was, she naturally had some understanding towards Zi Daoyang’s combat strength, and would have the qualifications to give her judgment.
"So what? When my senior brother steps into the ninth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, he will surely be able to dominate Zi Daoyang using the God’s Hand," Jun Mengchen grumbled.
"How can it be so easy?" Nanfeng Yunxi shook her head. "Zi Daoyang said that even if Qin Wentian steps into the ninth-level, he still wouldn’t be his opponent. This isn’t just a simple boast. Although the God’s Hand is powerful, it is not invincible. It still depends on how much of your secret art you have comprehended, and please be reminded that the God’s Hand isn’t the only legacy hidden in the City of Ancient Emperors."
"Are you saying that Zi Daoyang has also received a legacy from an ancient emperor before?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Zi Daoyang’s strength alone is already extremely terrifying. The Violet Emperor is one of the strongest immortal emperors at the peak of their cultivation in the immortal realms. It goes without saying how powerful his cultivation arts and innate techniques are. Don’t be so sure of your success even if you want to depend on the God’s Hand to fight Zi Daoyang. It’s a fallacy to assume that you can dominate anyone at the same cultivation level as you just because you have it," Nanfeng Yunxi spoke as she continued, "In addition, Zi Daoyang said that the second ranker has been in the Underworld Mountains for a very long time, and it’s highly possible for that man to have already reaped the benefits of that place. If he didn’t die in there, his current strength probably wouldn’t be any weaker than Zi Daoyang’s.
Qin Wentian dared not underestimate any of the geniuses from the immortal realms. This place was constantly evolving, and the people in the City of Ancient Emperors merely went along with the tides. There were also many geniuses who didn’t choose to enter there. In addition, many members of the younger generations were also at the immortal-foundation realm. One generation after another, it was unknown how many supreme geniuses the immortal realms occupied.
"Why are you here talking to us?" Zi Qingxuan asked directly as she stared at Nanfeng Yunxi.
"I planned to enter the Underworld Mountains. However, it’s a forbidden ground in the City of Ancient Emperors. And if all of you also have plans to enter it, I wish to be allies with you so we can better look out for each other. What is your opinion if I tell you I wish to join the Qin Sect?" Nanfeng Yunxi asked, her words causing the expressions of the spectators to freeze.
Nanfeng Yunxi wanted to join the Qin Sect?
Evidently, after witnessing their earlier battle against Xiao Lengyue and Xuan Yang, the Qin Sect had already obtained Nanfeng Yunxi’s approval. And in the face of the unknown danger present in the Underworld Mountains, the Qin Sect was undoubtedly the best alliance she could depend on. The current number of experts in the Qin Sect was minimal. But they had two supreme geniuses at the peak leading them. There was no other power more suitable for her than the Qin Sect.
"You are welcome to join us." Qin Wentian nodded his head to show his agreement. Nanfeng Yunxi’s joining of the Qin Sect instantly elevated their strength to another level, helping them to become a powerful and influential force in the City of Ancient Emperors. They only had six members, but it was enough. He had no reason to object to her request.
"This…" The spectators turned their attention over to the two supreme beauties; the #3 ranker Nanfeng Yunxi and the #5 ranker Princess Qing`er. In addition, there was also Qin Wentian who defeated Xiao Lengyue. This formation of members was too powerful.
"I want to join the Qin Sect too," At this moment, someone among the crowd called out.
"Me too, I wish to join as well!" One-by-one, more and more geniuses stepped out. With two supreme beauties, and after that earlier battle, it probably wouldn’t be long before the Qin Sect’s strength surpassed that of the Twin Star Alliance!
Xuan Yang’s expression turned more and more unsightly, staring at Zi Daoyang who was in the air.
Although Zi Daoyang’s tone was casual, as though speaking of an extremely insignificant thing, how could it be possible that this was insignificant to him, Xuan Yang? Xuan Xing had been publicly killed by Qin Wentian, and the Twin Stars Alliance was also humiliated.
