Chapter 1055: Direct Confrontation
Before the event officially began, the honored guests quickly sat down. Mei Suyao also came by herself around this time, keeping a very low profile.
However, she couldnât hide her presence even if she wanted to for she was otherworldly like an immortal. No matter where she went, she would attract all gazes. Thus, the guests turned towards her.
The younger ones became intoxicated after looking at her. In the contemporary times, many people considered her to be the prettiest beauty in the Mortal Emperor World. Countless youths lost precious hours of sleep because she was haunting them in their dreams.
âGoddess Mei is here!â Someone couldnât help but exclaim after catching a glimpse of her.
In the past, she traveled with great panache in the form of visual phenomena and had many fans chasing her. Now, she was solitary with a natural demeanor as if she had returned to the origin.
The emissary went to greet her before sitting down again in a graceful manner. Meanwhile, many of the youths here couldnât divert their eyes from her.
Chen Baojiao and Li Shuangyan arrived a bit after Mei Suyao. Although they were not as supreme as Mei Suyao, they were still kingdom-toppling. Anyone would have to marvel at their sight and praise.
âCleansing Incense Dual Blades Messengers are here, so where is Fiercest?â Someone wondered after seeing the two ladies.
Everyone knew that Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao were part of Li Qiyeâs crew, so when they appeared, the crowd looked behind them to see if Fiercest was there as well. To the disappointment of many, there was no one behind them.
The group of great geniuses like Jikong Wudi also glanced over to look for Li Qiye as well.
These days, Li Qiyeâs notoriety had spread far and wide. The group had no choice but to watch out for this opponent.
After seeing Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao sitting down, the Soaring Heavenly Saintess snorted and coldly asked: âYour master Li Qiye isnât coming?â
She felt that she was in a commanding position with great status. At the same time, their sects were mortal enemies. This was exacerbated by Chen Baojiao and Li Shuangyan leading their disciples to wipe out several branches of her sect. The saintess couldnât swallow this anger and wanted to use this opportunity to counter.
âOur Young Noble is busy, so we are attending in his stead.â Chen Baojiao directly responded to the saintessâ provocative tone.
Li Shuangyan, on the other hand, was just sitting there like a cold glacier, too lazy to answer the saintess.
âHmph, donât tell me heâs too afraid to come.â The saintess sneered: âI heard he has enemies everywhere. Now that all the heroes in the world have gathered here, he is probably afraid of people seeking revenge so he chose to be a cowardly turtle.â
Before coming, Chen Baojiao had already guessed that the saintess would use this opportunity to show her aggression. Their conflict was inevitable due to the history of their sects.
Chen Baojiao harshly stared at her and countered: âOur Young Noble isnât afraid of anyone! You are not qualified to comment on our Young Noble. I dare you to say it in front of him.â
âHmph, Fiercest or whatever, thereâs nothing special about him.â The saintess mocked: âI donât even put him in my eyes, so why should I talk to him? Who the hell does he think he is?â
Mei Suyao, who was sitting to the side, quietly shook her head after hearing this. The saintess was too inexperienced. After obtaining this measly bit of power, she immediately raised her tail without knowing what kind of person she was opposing!
âYour words alone warrant a decapitation!â Chen Baojiaoâs eyes suddenly turned fierce. She immediately stood up and walked forward while holding her saber, causing glints to lighten up the venue.
âSuch a big tone!â The saintess currently had a great backing and also a God-Monarch protecting her. She was full of confidence and was not afraid of Chen Baojiao. She sneered: âThis is the territory of the Soaring Immortal Sect and not a place for you to run amok!â
She wasnât very bright, but she was well-versed in using other peopleâs prestige for her own goals.
The emissary slightly frowned. He was a bit unhappy about the saintessâ conduct. However, she was still his junior in the end. Even if she was in the wrong, he couldnât sit by and watch.
âYoung Miss, this is not the place for you to swing your blade.â The emissary lowered his tone. His speech carried a commanding persuasiveness.
The Mortal King told Chen Baojiao: âJunior sister, take a step back and all will be well.â
She coldly glared at him and uttered: âWho is your junior sister?â
The Mortal King didnât become angry. He flatly said: âJunior sister, I know you were bewitched by the others back then so you have some grievances with our school, but in the end, you are still from the Jewel Pillar Sacred Schoolâ¦â
Ever since her Immortal Physique reached half completion, the school had wanted to drag her back. Some ancestors even hoped that she could marry the Mortal King.
However, she didnât bother giving them any face. In her eyes, she had severed the relationship long ago.
She interrupted him without showing any sensibility: âThereâs no need to utter such unctuous words. Donât act like you are my senior either since I have no relations to the sacred school.â
âMortal King, you should be annihilating a traitor like this!â The saintess fanned the flames after seeing the two argue.
âLittle tramp, come out here and Iâll decapitate you in three moves!â Chen Baojiao was impulsive and hated people who brought up the matter of her being a traitor the most. She paid a huge price back then to leave the sacred school. She was exiled from her home and family! Thus, her anger immediately erupted after the saintess twisted the story.
âEnough!â The Soaring Immortal Emissary shouted then scolded Chen Baojiao: âThis isnât a place for you all to go wild!â
âIs that so?â Chen Baojiao glared at him: âIt is not difficult if you want me to show respect to your sect, you just need to keep a tighter leash on your dogs!â
âSo insolent.â Jikong Wudi slowly spoke at this time: âThis event for everyone in the world shouldnât be ruined because of just one person like you. I donât care who your master is, you should bow your head and apologize this instant.â
Before Chen Baojiao could answer, Li Shuangyan stood up with her eyes sweeping through the crowd and declared: âIf some people want to release their dogs to bite us, then weâll beat these dogs down regardless of whether theyâre from the Heavenly God Sect or the Soaring Immortal Sect. We wonât show any consideration for their masters!â
Regardless of who they were facing, Li Shuangyan would always stand together with Chen Baojiao. She would never let anyone bully her sister!
Someone noticed that the two girls were prepared to fight against the world on their own and quietly whispered: âThey are crazy enough and are indeed people on the side of Fiercest, theyâre exactly like him.â Their attitude made others think of Fiercest Li Qiye.
The Fiercest would always act extremely arrogant regardless of who he was facing.
The emissary spoke with a chilling voice: âMortal King, if it is someone from your school, then your school should deal with her. Otherwise, my Heavenly God Sect will discipline her instead. Things wouldnât end so easily if that were to happen.â
The Mortal King smiled and stood up while looking at Chen Baojiao: âJunior sister, you were just tricked by the others. It is not too late to return with me now, donât make me take action.â
Li Shuangyan coldly laughed and retorted: âIf the Jewel Pillar Mortal King is so confident, then bring it on. Today, weâll suppress your Hell Suppressing Physique so that you will never be able to rise again!â
Her words were domineering and imposing. She didnât really care for this genius that had a half completion Hell Suppressing Physique!
Although his physique was amazing, there was still a gap between it and the Void Imperfection Physique taken directly from the Physique Scripture. If Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao attacked together, they absolutely could kill him.
âTwo great Immortal Physiques to take down another!â Everyoneâs heart skipped a beat. They all knew that both girls had half completion Immortal Physiques as well. Their joint effort would definitely subdue the Mortal King.
The Mortal Kingâs eyes turned cold as he showed a slight grimace.
âIf Miss Li wants to fight someone, then even though I am weak, I will still exchange a few moves with you.â Jikong Wudi slowly uttered at this time.
He had a feud with Li Qiye so without a doubt, he was on the Mortal Kingâs side.
âIf you want to fight someone, then I will exchange a few moves with you!â Another clear voice resounded. The speaker was the cross-dressing Bing Yuxia. She was still holding a beautyâs hand at this moment while looking down on Jikong Wudi. Regardless of the situation, she would unconditionally be on Li Qiyeâs side. After all, their relationship was quite strong.
In just a moment, several supreme geniuses became involved in this storm, causing the crowd to look at each other. They vaguely felt that these geniuses had already begun to form alliances for the sake of competing for the Heavenâs Will.
Meanwhile, Zhan Shi sat there still as a rock and Heavenly Emperor Lin only smiled without making a comment. Mei Suyao slightly shook her head. She understood that the emissary wanted this to happen. Nothing could be better for their Soaring Immortal Sect if these supreme geniuses of the Mortal Emperor World killed each other; they would benefit from this whole dispute.
