Qin Wentian, Jun Mengche and the others glanced over. The person who spoke was actually a son of the Violet Emperor, Zi Daolong.
Other than him, on that gigantic throne, there were also many other characters from peak powers of the Eastern Regions: the Paragon Sword Sect, the Skymist Immortal Empire, the Taihua Immortal Dynasty, etc. It felt like these people were in an alliance.
In that adjudication battle of the past, many powers of the eastern regions had formed an alliance. Right now, they were actually still grouped together and were preparing to enter the City of Ancient Emperors together.
They had also observed the war between Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. This was how they recognized Tuoba Saintsky and knew that these people were from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
“If we don’t have the qualifications, do you want to step up on the battle platform and have a try against me?” Tuoba Saintsky stared at Zi Daolong, directly announcing his will to battle. This caused Zi Daolong’s gaze to flash. He was actually a little fearful of Tuoba Saintsky. Back then in the war, Tuoba Saintsky was one of those with the most dazzling performances in the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. He was also a peak-stage immortal king, and Zi Daolong didn’t dare to look at him with disdain.
“Sitting on the throne doesn’t simply depend on the combat prowess of a single individual. The overall strength of your sect isn’t sufficient for you to sit upon this throne.” A peak-stage immortal king from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty coldly spoke.
Tuoba Saintsky directly soared up, sitting on the throne the Ying Clan vacated. His calm gaze then swept over to the immortal king who spoke. After that, Jun Mengchen and the other disciples of the Heavenly Talisman Realm all soared through the air. Jun Mengchen even said, “Brother Saber-Sword, fairy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan, come on up together.”
Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi’s group also soared into the air and sat upon the throne, smacking the face of Zi Daolong.
“I really have no idea how the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect has such confidence.” An expert from the Paragon Sword Sect icily spoke.
“So much nonsense. If you guys want to challenge us, just bring it on. If you want to compare the foundation of peak powers, will the Southern Phoenix Clan lose to any of your sects? Stop being so shameless.” Jun Mengchen angrily berated. The experts on the other throne all released their auras, staring at Jun Mengchen with malicious intentions flickering in their eyes.
“If you want a fight, step up on the battle platform. We will make it a life-and-death duel.” Jun Mengchen stepped out and pointed to the area on the platform covered by the radiance of the Emperor’s Eye.
“Forget it, there’s no need to bring ourselves down to their level or everyone might feel that we are bullying them with our superiority in numbers.” An immortal king coldly spoke. He then stared at them and continued, “Let’s take a look at each other’s talent. If you all want to prove yourselves, we can head to the Emperor’s Eye platform and see who can endure effect the longest.”
“We will definitely last longer than any of you.” Jun Mengchen impolitely shot back.
Qin Wentian moved to the side of Nanfeng Yunxi, he glanced at Nanfeng Shengge who was beside her and asked, “Is Holy Maiden Shengge fine?”
“I’m alright, thank you Senior Saber-Sword for your concern.” Nanfeng Shengge smiled gently.
“As human cultivators of the immortal realms, there’s no way we will stand for demonic beasts bullying our comrades. It’s just that right now, many supreme characters are gathered here in this Gazing Emperor City. Fairy maidens, all of you have to be more cautious. The Southern Phoenix Clan only sent out such a small group this time around and things might get dangerous as there are many vile beasts in this city as well. They are all devoid of humanity, capable of doing all sorts of despicable things.” Qin Wentian reminded, conveniently insulting the greater demons at the same time.
“RUMBLE!” As the sound of his voice faded, violent demonic qi gushed forth. It was released from none other than the demonic young man who injured Nanfeng Shengge.
“I understand, my group of maidens initially only wanted to temper ourselves in the City of Ancient Emperors but we didn’t expect the demonic beasts would already be so tyrannical and overbearing to this extent. I’ve already informed my clan and they would soon send out other elders to join us.” Nanfeng Yunxi felt a little guilty. After breaking through to the immortal king realm, she only focused on raising her strength and she wasn’t too clear about the situation regarding the demonic beasts of the Desolate Mountain Range. She directly brought a small group of maidens here when she heard that there would be many other geniuses gathering in this city.”
“Insulting us demons, you have to die!” A roar rang out. A demonic expert directly stepped out as demonic qi flooded the area. It was a torch dragon. With the blink of his eyes, light and darkness alternated, the sky changing color.
Stretching out with his talon, he directly slashed towards the direction of Qin Wentian’s group. The draconic claws were a brilliant red and extremely gigantic. There seemed to be lava on the claws, and the manifestation of the claw attack directly arrived at where Qin Wentian and the others were.
An immortal king from the Heavenly Talisman Realm stepped out, his entire body covered by a runic glow. Slashing out with his sword, a beam of light shot out as quick as lightning slashing against that lava-covered claw, yet he failed to shatter that manifestation.
The expression of that immortal king was still as calm as ever. He followed up with several other attacks, slashing out with his sword technique, the Thousand Flows Sword Art, causing countless streams of his sword intent to drill into the claw. An explosive sound rang out as the lava splashed everywhere. A moment later, that manifestation of claw attack directly exploded from the force.
“Freeze!” The torch dragon coldly roared, the entire atmosphere was suddenly filled with frost and snow. At the same time, a phantom of a dragon loomed over the throne where Qin Wentian’s group was at and a barrage of attacks were instantly launched, wanting to kill everyone there.
Qin Wentian slashed out with his saber as an all-suppressive devil might flooded the area, destroying all the ice and frost present. The saber light broke the air, directly slashing towards the torch dragon but that attack was negated with a claw swipe.
“You want to start a war?” Tuoba Saintsky stepped out, exuding a tyrannical and imposing aura.
“War?” On one of the thrones, a supreme greater demon coldly laughed, “You guys are not qualified yet.”
“Retreat.” That demon spoke, as that torch dragon stepped back, returning back to his original location. Qin Wentian glanced at these demonic experts, each of their auras were vast and majestic. Although they had a number of experts at their side, there was no way for them to clash directly against these greater demons. If they really fought, their side would lose for sure.
“My mood is already spoiled. During these few days, under the radiance of the Emperor’s Eye, we have already seen the level of talent for many geniuses of the immortal realms. However, they are merely so-so in our eyes. But now, quite a few interesting humans have appeared. Let’s hope that you guys would have more powerful individuals or things would be truly boring when we meet again in the City of Ancient Emperors.” That demonic young man stood up and left after speaking. It was like he couldn’t be bothered with the humans here any longer.
“Let’s leave. I want to see how amazing this legendary City of Ancient Emperors that is so highly regarded by the humans is.” Another greater demon coldly laughed. After that, the demonic beasts all departed the area, filled with disdain for the human experts here.
Very swiftly, only humans remained in this area around the battle platform.
“How arrogant, these demonic beasts don’t have us in their eyes at all.” An immortal king from the Senluo Immortal Empire spoke in cold arrogance.
“Underestimating humans? They will surely pay the price for it.” Another immortal king from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire who was sitting on the throne also spoke arrogantly. The king aura radiating from him was shocking to the extreme.
“Demonic beasts of the Desolate Mountains?” An immortal king from the Shooting Sun Immortal Empire had a cold smile on his face. His eyes were like arrows, capable of shooting down the sun.
“With so many geniuses gathered, the City of Ancient Emperors would definitely be extremely lively this time around.” All the human experts stood up and prepared to leave for the City of Ancient Emperors as well.
“Leaving just like that? How boring. I initially still wanted to see how you ‘lofty figures’ would fare under the radiance of the Emperor’s Eye. Seems like you all have trepidation in your hearts and are afraid that you might incur ridicule if you compete with us.” Jun Mengchen coldly smiled.
“I want to see if you can still smile after we enter the City of Ancient Emperors.” Zi Daolong flicked his sleeve and led the other powers from the eastern regions away.
“I intentionally came here but gained no information. Seems like I can only wait after we enter the City of Ancient Emperors to witness the strength of the humans and demons.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. After that, he continued, “However, why did so many supreme experts gather here?”
“This has a connection to the movements of the Desolate Mountain Range. The greater demons there have entered the immortal realms, and the City of Ancient Emperors is one of the places they wish to go the most. After this news circulated out, supreme experts from all the major powers in the immortal realms wanted to compete with these greater demons, showing these demons their brilliance and strength. After all, if one wanted to become an unparalleled expert, defeating all other geniuses in the world is a path that’s inevitable.”
“Mhm, earlier, some of those peak characters didn’t act at all but I can sense how extraordinary they are. They are definitely people who stand at the pinnacle of their respective cultivation levels.” Tuoba Saintsky added.
“I see.” Qin Wentian nodded. After that, they departed the area, leaving this throne for the others remaining here.
After returning to the inn, they set up a barrier to isolate immortal sense. Tuoba Saintsky, Jun Mengchen and Nanfeng Yunxi were all present. Qin Wentian then proceeded to reveal his identity, causing all of them to be shocked as their eyes gleamed with a bright glow. Nanfeng Yunxi smiled at him, “You are getting more and more powerful, able to easily suppress even mid-stage immortal kings. Your peers like me, are truly filled with despair.”
“Haha, I’ve already wondered which senior apprentice brother of my sect would be so extraordinary. Senior brother Qin, you have really managed to fool me this time around.” Jun Mengchen laughed uproariously. “In the past, we already fought side by side in the City of Ancient Emperors when we were at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. To think that now, we are all here together again. We will definitely flip the City of Ancient Emperors upside down.”
“Mengchen, I decided to proceed alone this time around. I don’t want to rouse the suspicions of others, they might be able to guess my identity if we go as a group.” Qin Wentian spoke.
“That’s true. That old scum Eastern Sage has now already submitted and joined the Old Devil Duotian’s sect. He even ignored the rules of the immortal realms and directly acted against you back then. Those people from the eastern regions also want your death, it’s best to be more careful.” Jun Mengchen nodded. “However, it’s already sufficient that we know that you are fine. When we enter the City of Ancient Emperors, we will still be able to see each other.”
“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded. He then turned to Nanfeng Yunxi and asked, “Yunxi, how’s Shengge?”
“She’s doing fine. If that lass knew that the Saber-Sword Immortal King was you, she would definitely be very happy and would want to come over to see you.” Nanfeng Yunxi glanced at Qin Wentian with a look of bitterness, as though reproaching him for hiding his identity earlier. Qin Wentian gulped a little, that look, in the eyes of a beautiful woman like Nanfeng Yunxi, was truly extremely mesmerizing.
“Haha Yunxi, leaving Shengge aside, don’t you yourself miss my senior brother too?” Jun Mengchen laughed uproariously. A moment later, Nanfeng Yunxi’s eyes flickered as she evaded his gaze. “Nonsense.”
“Holy Successor Yunxi would actually blush too. Hehe, senior brother, you are really too awesome.” Jun Mengchen spoke in an impressed manner. Qin Wentian’s face was filled with black lines as he spoke, “Beat it.”
“Ai, are you chasing me and senior brother Tuoba away?” Jun Mengchen sighed. Qin Wentian speechless, but he knew that this junior apprentice brother of his was only joking with him.
Being able to gather together with them, Qin Wentian was naturally very happy in his heart. After some days, more experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan arrived. Their group then prepared to move out, preparing to enter the City of Ancient Emperors!
