When Pei Xuanjing’s voice rang out, the once noisy courtyard instantly fell silent.
Within the quiet courtyard, all sounds sharply faded into nothingness. Even the birds and animals within a few miles of the garden recognized the dangerous aura and quieted down.
The smiles on the faces of the three young talents who had just captured their rankings on the stage instantly froze. They looked at the figure of the young man in the green robe, filled with fervor and admiration.
This is how a real man should be!
Everyone was looking at the youth, the one with a sword, their eyes filled with fear.
They all understood that him stepping forward at this point, although it justified his character, was undoubtedly a slap in the empire’s face.
What surprised everyone was that the Great Tang Emperor, who was seated on the throne, remained silent at this moment, a warm smile on his face, as if he hadn’t heard Pei Xuanjing’s words at all.
“What a bold and reckless character!”
A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Daoyuan’s mouth, as he thought.
“But then again, how could it be possible to achieve such cultivation without being like this?”
It seemed he wasn’t surprised by Pei Xuanjing’s outburst, thinking it was only natural.
He even looked at the Da Li envoy’s group with a smile, waiting for their reaction.
Moreover, Ye Daoyuan was sure that the people of Da Li would not be able to restrain themselves. Even if Ashina Zhenlu could bear it, Feng Yan could not.
Mr. Min’s contempt for the Da Li National Master was something Feng Yan, as a disciple of the National Master, couldn’t accept.
Sure enough, Feng Yan roared, “Pei Min, you young insolent, how dare you behave like this!”
He ignored Ashina Zhenlu’s attempts to stop him, and didn’t care where he was at the moment, because the other party had insulted his master.
“Hehe…” Pei Xuanjing chuckled softly.
“Emperor of Great Tang, are you going to let Pei Min disrupt the martial arts competition?” Ashina Zhenlu stepped forward and said loudly.
He knew that the only person who could stop it now was the Emperor of Tang, so he spoke directly, the threat in his words obvious.
The emperor, who had been smiling all along, said, “This is a personal grudge, even I wouldn’t interfere.”
The Emperor decisively rejected and shielded with the excuse of personal grudges.
This gave the other diplomats who were prepared to lend their support a pause, leaving them without any reason to speak.
It should be understood in the World of Myriad Manifestations known for its martial arts, every person acknowledges a rule: that is, the battle among martial artists is free, besides the rules of the dynasty.
Surely, if it really happened, it was Feng Yan who had tried to assassinate Pei Min in the first place. Now, seeking revenge against Feng Yan was perfectly justified.
If it really had to be discussed, it was Feng Yan who had allowed personal revenge to disrupt the Great Tang’s competition.
However, now that the Emperor of Tang, the host of the event, didn’t say anything, what could they say?
Ashina Zhenlu’s face darkened, and he said harshly, “Is the Emperor of Tang going to let Pei Min insult Da Li today? Do you think that Da Li no longer has cavalry who dare to ride south after losing the Red Sun Cavalry?”
With these words, all the officials were furious. This was a blatant threat to the empire, something none of them could tolerate.
Immediately, someone asked for permission to execute the Da Li envoy’s team here as a warning to others.
The emperor’s voice also gradually cooled, “Are you threatening me?”
“I dare not!” Ashina Zhenlu shook his head, “I am just reminding the Emperor for the sake of maintaining a good relationship between our countries. Don’t underestimate Da Li.”
The Emperor snorted coldly, an expression of disdain on his face.
From one side of the high platform, Prince Xiang sneered, “Ashina Zhenlu, you’re just a slave of the Turkic Remnants, daring to be so presumptuous. When you have restored your Tuojue kingship, perhaps the empire will consider you!”
“Hahahaha…”
Innumerable laughter filled the air, full of derision.
The title of the Tang Empire was not bestowed. It was earned through hard fought battles.
They had crushed the Turks and accidentally allowed the Da Li Dynasty to rise, which displeased many people in the empire.
If it hadn’t been for the need for rest and the fear of hurting the Da Li national master, they would have marched out and re-conquered the prairie. They wouldn’t have let Da Li survive.
Did they not realize how many people wished the Empire would send troops to conquer and use this as an opportunity to earn titles?
At these words, Ashina Zhenlu changed color drastically, a murderous intent sprouting in his heart.
The Da Li dynasty was established by the survivors of the empire defeated Turks. Although Ashina Zhenlu was from the royal family, he was just a side branch. The main branch of the royal family didn’t even carry the name Ashina.
The Emperor said, “Ashina Zhenlu, today’s matter is merely a private grudge, and the Empire will not intervene.”
He reiterated again, effectively offering a way out.
“I understand,” Ashina Zhenlu nodded. He glanced deeply at Pei Xuanjing before turning to Feng Yan and said, “We should take action together, and kill him!”
Although insulted by the Great Tang, he knew the current Da Li was no match for the Great Tang, and could only endure in humiliation.
But he decided to kill today the rising star of the Great Tang, Pei Min, in front of everyone, to make them pay the price and lose a potential future powerhouse.
Pei Xuanjing watched Ashina Zhenlu, who was full of murderous intent. He understood his thoughts, but could not agree, even feeling a bit of disdain.
Instead of retaliating against the powerful, but rather swinging his sword at what he regarded as the ‘weak’, such a person wasn’t worth Pei Xuanjing’s concern.
Pei Xuanjing took to the air and landed on the largest stage, looking at the group from Da Li, and said indifferently, “Make your move!”
“Since you are courting death, then die!”
Ashina Zhenlu and Feng Yan both landed on the stage, their eyes full of murderous intent as they looked at Pei Xuanjing.
“Kill!”
Feng Yan roared and made his move with all his strength.
Although he was wounded by the opponent on that day and knew that his opponent was powerful.
But now it wasn’t just him taking action, but also Ashina Zhenlu, the powerful person who was there to help.
No matter how strong the opponent was, he didn’t believe they couldn’t kill him with their combined efforts.
The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around his body gathered. A scorching heat wave rolled around him, and a Divine Saber appeared in his hands, slashing towards Pei Xuanjing.
The sharpness of his saber aura ran wild, tearing the surrounding air apart. The bright saber light emerged, and the sounds of Dragon’s Roar Tiger’s Howl echoed out.
Ashina Zhenlu also made his move quickly. His terrifying aura exploded. He punched out, and a vast fist power howled out. The several standing pillars on the stage in front of him instantly turned into dust.
Continuous air explosions sounded like thunderclaps, even seeming to shake the ground.
The two of them made their moves, making everyone gasp.
Heavenly Rank Powerhouses, so terrifying!
