Chapter 74: The Might of the Empress

Jiang Ming felt he had learned something new today.

The two men beside him were his enemies, and they were stronger than him. If each of them knew the real situation, they would kill him without any hesitation. However, they were talking happily and even gave him gifts.

There were several geniuses with ten-star innate talent on Reception Peak. Some of them were Immortal Fetuses as well.

Jiang Ming initially thought he would need to wait for at least 100 years before he could see such a scene. However, it was happening before him now.

Jiang Ming even had an impulse to see what would happen if he killed all of the people here.

Of course, it was just an evil thought messing with his brain.

“It’s about to start!” Old Tie stood up and looked toward Reception Peak. “This is so exciting!”

“It’s understandable. After all, you wouldn’t be able to see something like this in 100 years,” Qing Fengzi said as he nodded.

The fight between geniuses was not all about who was stronger, but it was also about who had more luck.

“It’s such a shame that you’re too weak.” Old Tie shook his head after he took a look at Jiang Ming. “For us, they’re just our juniors. But for you, you might not even be able to see their movements.”

“It’s fine. I’m here for the show only,” Jiang Ming replied, offering him a grin.

In the meantime, on the peak next to Reception Peak…

There were a dozen people there. All of them were the top martial artists in the Jiuyang Sect. Even Gu Hai was there as well.

“I only realize how weak our disciples are after seeing them!” Yin Yue lamented. “I can feel that those young people can defeat me, not to mention those Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.”

“Well, they’re the geniuses from Zhong Province and Eastern Region.” Gu Hai smiled. “Besides, Linglong is not any weaker than them.”

“You’re right. Given our Jiuyang Sect’s condition and resources, it’s really fortunate that we could have such an extraordinary genius.” Yin Yue smiled. “Look over there. Do you know those two fellows on Chuyang Peak?”

“Nope, I don’t know them,” Gu Hai replied as he shook his head. Then, he frowned and continued. “Although nothing seems to have changed on Chuyang Peak, it’s guarded by a formation. The fact that they could come here without any problems shows they are martial artists beyond the Primal Spirit Realm.”

“Are you not going back to check on them?”

“Nope. Definitely not. I assume they’re here to watch the battle between the geniuses, so it would be bad if I went back and disturbed them. If they harbor any malicious intent, there’s nothing I can do even if I go there.”

“Well, I guess you’re right.”

Both of them ended their conversation and looked toward Reception Peak.

The atmosphere there had become even livelier.

“Today, not only all geniuses from Zhong Province and Eastern Region are gathered here, but Senior Brother is here with us as well. It brings this self-organized gathering to a higher level, and it can be called the battle between the Proud Children!” said a young man in a blue robe.

After he had greeted the crowd, he went up to Zi Linglong and continued. “I’ll do the honors and start the first battle! I, Tan Hao from Zhong Province, challenge Zi Linglong to a battle!”

“So what’s your bet?” Zi Linglong said plainly.

“Bet?” Tan Hao was stunned for a moment before saying seriously, “The objective of this event is to improve our skills, as well as to exchange experience regarding our cultivation methods. It will be remembered for ages. Don’t you think it’s a little bit inappropriate to talk about bets at a grand event like this one?”

Zi Linglong lifted her head and glanced at the man. Then, she said, “I never enjoyed fighting. However, each and every one of you came to the Jiuyang Sect and challenged me to a battle. The Jiuyang Sect doesn’t dare to go against you because of your background, so I had no other choice but to stop my cultivation and accept your challenges. If you want to fight me, I have a condition. If you accept it, then I’ll fight you. If you refuse to accept it, then keep your mouth shut and sit down!”

She paused for a moment and added, “The Jiuyang Sect doesn’t have anything better to offer than the Sun Stone. What I need are extreme Yin objects, and I’ve already written them down on the stone tablet!”

She closed her eyes upon saying that.

Tan Hao’s face sank. Some people’s faces were livid with rage, while others were chuckling.

Tian Ci took a step forward and said gently, “Junior Sister Linglong, this is a grand event between the geniuses. Each and every one of us here has mastered our own cultivation method. Besides, this is a great opportunity for us to share our knowledge and to grow together, so why should we sacrifice the big for the small?”

Zi Linglong said without opening her eyes, “If that’s all that you want, then go somewhere else.”

Tian Ci’s eyebrows twitched as his face turned red with embarrassment.

“How dare you!’ Tan Hao shouted, “How dare you talk like that to my eldest senior brother?”

Clank!

He stretched his arm out, and a sword appeared in his hand. At that moment, the ground shook, and the aura around him changed. He seemed to have become one with Reception Peak, and he could draw the power from the ground around him.

“He’s your eldest senior brother, not mine,” Zi Linglong said as she opened her eyes. Her gaze was sharp as lighting, and she said, “If you’re not accepting the bet, then get lost!”

“I’m going to kill you today!” Tan Hao charged at Zi Linglong.

Amongst the crowd, regardless of Xi Yao, the Holy Daughter of the Riyue Sect, or the Son of Prophet from the Yantian Sect, even Mo Lin, the Holy Son of the Yinmo Sect, remained silent. They had no intention of stopping Tan Hao.

“Why must we fight each other?” Tian Ci sighed.

Lin Han, the Holy Son of the Qingyun Sect, glanced at him coldly and smirked.

Pfft!

In the meantime, Zi Linglong summoned a crimson sword into her hand. She shattered Tan Hao’s sword energy in an instant, and her sword energy kept traveling forward until it cut off her opponent’s left arm.

After that, she delivered a palm strike at him and sent him flying away.

“As the host of the event, I’ll spare his life this time. However, if there is another person who acts like him, I’ll show them no mercy!” Zi Linglong stabbed her sword beside her and glanced around at the people. “If you don’t agree with my condition, then leave!”

After that, she closed her eyes again.

Suddenly, Tan Hao’s angry voice belted out from the distance. “How dare you cut my arm off, Zi Linglong!? I’m going to kill you!”

He was furious, and his killing intent was so thick the sky around him had changed.

Swooosh!

Zi Linglong appeared right before him without giving him any moment to react. She stared at him icily and crushed Tan Hao’s special ability in one strike. She then conjured up an invisible rope to entangle Tan Hao with the power of the universe.

Clank!

Her sword energy glowed. Carrying the power that could split the sky, she slashed at Tan Hao, cutting him in half.

After that, she turned around and left.

A moment later, a ray of light came out of Tan Hao’s stiffened body. His body was split into two, and he plunged into the ground below.

Tan Hao was dead.

It had happened so fast that Tian Ci still could not come around to his senses even after Tan Hao was dead.

Zi Linglong returned to her seat and stabbed her sword in the ground beside her.

‘I memory serves me well, Tan Hao is a descendant from a second-rated family in Zhong Province. The strongest of his family is in the Primal Spirit Realm, yet he has the nerves to act like an *sshole here. He deserved to die!’ she thought.

Nobody cared about Tan Hao’s death.

“Well done, Linglong,” Xi Yao walked across the air with a smile. Stars were glowing around her which made her look ethereally pretty.

She waved her hand, and a Moon Cloud Flower appeared before her. She gave it to Zi Linglong and said, “Although this flower is not an extreme Yin object, it’s still a rare Yin spiritual item. I have no use of it anymore, so I’m giving it to you as a gift.”

Zi Linglong took a look at the Moon Cloud Flower in front of her and then turned to Xi Yao. A smile blossomed across her face as she said, “Thank you, Senior Sister. After you!”

She grabbed the sword with her hand and flew into the sky.

“It’s my pleasure!” Xi Yan followed after Zi Linglong..
