Chapter 1127: Here for Jiang Cheng
In front of Yingchi Daoist Venerable, Yaolang Daoist Venerable dared not snatch people.
After all, he’s an Immortal Monarch, while she’s just a Star Monarch.
Their status differs by a rank.
"Qiu Yuxuan, we can set off now!"
Yingchi Daoist Venerable was pleased with himself, planning to take Qiu Yuxuan to Sword Pavilion for the report.
But Sister Qiu shook her head.
"There’s still one more matter unresolved."
Her gaze, filled with coercion, stared directly at Jiang Cheng’s face.
"What do you say, dear Master Jiang?"
That "Master" was clearly laced with irony.
Reminding Jiang Cheng not to forget that the bet isn’t over yet.
Brother Cheng sighed.
"Do you really have to be so ruthless? There’s still time to stop now."
"You’re the one forcing me!"
Qiu Yuxuan coldly smirked, "Stop? Then give me a reason to stop!"
"I’ve never treated you badly..."
"You’ve never treated me badly?" Qiu Yuxuan was so angered by him that she laughed.
How does this guy have the nerve to say that?
"Quickly reveal your Identity Jade Talisman, undergo the test, and reveal the final result!"
Not only her, but the Immortal Officials of the Reception Department and other Supremes also pressed urgently.
"Hand it over quickly!"
"Stretching your neck is a knife, shrinking your neck is also a knife."
"Exactly, given the situation, do you still plan to escape?"
"Even if we agree, so many Daoist Venerables wouldn’t agree!"
Their commotion surprised the newly arrived dozen Daoist Venerables extremely.
"What’s happening?"
"Who is this person?"
"Does he have a grudge against Qiu Yuxuan?"
"Reporting to all the seniors, the situation is like this..."
Someone immediately recounted the betting events with enthusiasm, including past instances of Qiu Yuxuan being ’oppressed’ by Jiang Cheng.
After listening, the Daoist Venerables’ gazes towards Jiang Cheng turned unfriendly.
"You really have guts!"
"Daring to disrespect Qiu Yuxuan?"
"Jiang Cheng? I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."
"From the Yunzhao War Zone?"
"Even if he excelled at the front lines, he has no right to surpass a peerless talent who navigated the Heaven-Ascending Secret Realm!"
"Indeed, Qiu Yuxuan is destined to be a Daoist Venerable, or even stronger!"
Yingchi Daoist Venerable didn’t hide his anger and hostility.
"You dare offend someone from Sword Pavilion, you have audacity!"
"Don’t hope to rise again in the future!"
Other Daoist Venerables, although not drawing in Qiu Yuxuan, didn’t mind forging a good rapport with her.
"We’ll act as witnesses to this bet!"
"Kid, quickly hand over your Identity Jade Talisman!"
"Justice must be served for Qiu Yuxuan!"
Seeing Jiang Cheng become the target of public criticism, the Immortal Officials and Supremes present could only shake their heads.
This kid was truly done for.
On his first day, he offended so many Daoist Venerables.
How can he possibly continue?
The future is bound to be an uphill struggle!
Facing such a ’dead end,’ Brother Cheng, who initially wore a forlorn expression, suddenly burst into laughter.
He even clapped.
"You all really are lively."
"Since you love joining the fun so much, why don’t I make another bet with you all?"
Since it’s all about non-stop betting lately, might as well go all the way.
"Bett with us?"
"Kid, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Are you worthy?"
"Exactly, reveal the outcome of your bet with Qiu Yuxuan before talking about anything else!"
"Humph, once it’s revealed, he’s doomed, what future is there?"
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Brother Cheng glanced at them with disdain.
"Don’t just act as witnesses, join in for a bet, or are you scared?"
Provocation technique, right, anyone can do it.
"Kid, what did you say?"
"Do you have a death wish?"
"I think you’re tired of living!"
"How dare you provoke us?"
Brother Cheng pressed the Life-saving Talisman again.
In the next instant, another Divine Monarch suddenly appeared on the scene.
"Prince Yi!"
"Oh my heavens, Senior Prince Yi!"
"Greetings to Prince Yi..."
Besides Jiang Cheng and Qiu Yuxuan, everyone else beneath the Daoist Venerable knelt down.
Immortal Officials from the Reception Department even rolled over to kneel exceptionally properly.
"Salutations to Prince Yi!"
Including Yingchi Daoist Venerable, all Immortal Monarchs and Star Monarchs quickly bowed in respect.
"Prince Yi, why did you suddenly come?"
As Second-Grade Immortal Officials, some among them could still converse with Prince Yi.
"Indeed, this small corner of the Reception Department hardly warrants your personal attention."
Yingchi Daoist Venerable suddenly thought of something.
Hurriedly asked: "Could it be that Senior came because of Qiu Yuxuan and intends to compete with us at Sword Pavilion for recruits?"
"Qiu Yuxuan?"
Prince Yi barely glanced before shifting his attention away.
"Her talent is high, but as a mere junior, she’s not worth my personal intervention."
He did have the qualification to say this.
For those three peerless talents who navigated the Heaven-Ascending Secret Realm, none had reached his level of achievement thus far.
Not to mention Qiu Yuxuan, who just started?
"Then you..."
"I came for Jiang Cheng."
His words left all Daoist Venerables stunned.
Jiang Cheng?
Isn’t he just that kid who was focused on earlier?
How could he alert a figure of this level?
Among them, Yaolang Daoist Venerable and others were even more astonished.
This scene, why is it so familiar?
Previously, King Shi came because of this kid, and now Prince Yi is here again because of him?
How is that possible?
What did he do to deserve this?
Are they suspecting he might be the Celestial Emperor’s illegitimate son?
Only to see Prince Yi stare directly at Jiang Cheng, expressionless: "What’s happened with you, why did you activate that Talisman?"
He was referring to the Life-saving Talisman.
According to the Celestial Palace’s arrangement, Jiang Cheng should only activate the Life-saving Talisman when faced with certain death, to summon these top figures for protection.
But upon arriving, he sees that this kid hasn’t lost a single hair, nor does it feel like a life-and-death crisis.
Brother Cheng simply pointed at Yingchi Daoist Venerable and others.
"They were just about to kill me."
"Even said something about my future in Celestial Palace being bleak."
"I was so scared that I accidentally summoned you."
Despite claiming fear, no trace of fear showed on his face.
Free support backing him up, might as well use it.
This Life-saving Talisman was indeed used as a Summoning Talisman.
"Is this true?"
Prince Yi’s expression immediately darkened.
Jiang Cheng relates to the bet with the Evil Immortal Realm, any disruption is untenable.
This group may have merely intended to threaten and intimidate him, not necessarily act, but it already affected Jiang Cheng.
Affecting him could possibly impact the outcome of the future bet.
This is something Prince Yi doesn’t want to see.
"You really have great audacity!"
"Daring to threaten Jiang Cheng?"
His aura swept out fiercely.
All Daoist Venerables present sensed intense danger befalling them.
Bang bang bang!
Including Yingchi Daoist Venerable, more than ten Daoist Venerables flew backward, crashing to the ground.
Before they could cry out...
Clang!
The Daoist Artifact behind Prince Yi flew out.
Aimed directly at those dozen Daoist Venerables, its murderous intent barely concealed.
"Who gave you the courage?"
"All seeking death?"
