Chapter 1129: Must Be the Greatest
"If this place doesn’t keep me, there’ll be another that does!"
Brother Cheng waved his hand, then directly flew out.
"Farewell..."
Upon hearing his words, everyone present was stunned to silence.
What did this kid just say in front of Prince Yi?
Leaving the Celestial Palace for the Land of Dao Extinction?
Is he mad?
Does he think dying just once isn’t enough?
Even Qiu Yuxuan and the Three-Eyed Tiger were shocked speechless.
Brother, you’re so bullheaded.
There’s no one more bold and uninhibited than you in this world.
The only person thrilled among the crowd was Yan Yi.
If Jiang Cheng really does that, then the Evil Immortal Realm’s bet is won directly!
Prince Yi almost lost his mind due to Brother Cheng.
He immediately blocked Sect Leader Jiang’s path, his intent to kill barely concealed.
That expression was as terrifying as it could be.
"What did you say?"
A Divine Monarch’s rage could bring down the heavens and split the earth.
Yet Brother Cheng couldn’t care less.
Never mind a Divine Monarch, even if the Celestial Emperor stood before him, he wouldn’t be intimidated.
"Do you have bad ears? Need me to repeat it?"
He smirked: "I’m making it clear today, not interested in Seventh and Eighth Grades, or even Third and Fourth Grades; I aim for the highest!"
"If you can’t satisfy me, I’ll just go somewhere else."
He had not a shred of loyalty to the Celestial Palace from the start.
Thinking the order of the Celestial Palace wasn’t too bad and that killing Evil Immortals was a good deed, he’d lend a hand.
Finding the Celestial Palace meaningless, he’d leave immediately.
His actions were completely from the heart.
These weren’t mere words.
"Kill him!"
Including Yaolang and Yingchi, all the Daoist Venerables and those Immortal Officials from the Reception Department roared in fury.
"How can someone like him be kept?"
"Prince Yi, allow me to deal with him!"
"He’s obviously a traitor to the Celestial Palace; not even an Immortal Official, just keeping him is a disaster!"
They had always opposed Brother Cheng, wishing he’d suffer.
On the other hand, those Immortal Officials loyal to the Celestial Palace couldn’t accept the betrayal of the palace.
"Are you courting death?"
Prince Yi’s expression was terrifying, as if he’d devour someone.
Brother Cheng couldn’t care less.
"Yeah, why don’t you give it a try?"
Prince Yi was at a loss for words.
If he, representing the Celestial Palace, were to eliminate Jiang Cheng, they’d have lost directly to the Evil Immortal Realm.
That outcome was something the Celestial Palace absolutely could not afford.
So, at this moment, Prince Yi truly had no way to deal with Jiang Cheng.
"Are you threatening us?" He was very annoyed.
"That is because you were unjust first."
Brother Cheng wouldn’t back down.
"Someone as exemplary and outstanding as me given such a low position, do you think that’s fair?"
"Even if you do, the great immortals of the Primordial Immortal Realm will not agree!"
"I myself... even less so!"
Prince Yi was once more amused to irritation.
This guy’s ego, huh?
Wanting the highest position?
So, you’re saying you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with us Divine Monarchs right off the bat?
Just upon arrival, becoming a First Grade Immortal Official?
Who gave you that confidence?
"You’ve lost it?"
"Enough with the nonsense, just say it, will you or won’t you?"
Brother Cheng wouldn’t bother with superficial words.
"If granted, I’ll stay; otherwise, I’ll leave immediately!"
The people nearby were questioning everything.
This kid said so much, and Prince Yi still doesn’t kill him?
Why is he so fortunate to live a few more seconds?
Suddenly, Yan Yi stepped out.
"Divine Monarch, looks like our other result can be revealed ahead of time."
A rare smile appeared on her cold face.
"I seriously suspect, his Celestial Heart has lowered below middle-grade, I demand an immediate inspection!"
Prince Yi’s face changed, quickly waving to cut off all external sensing.
"You want to inspect now?"
Truth be told, he wasn’t confident in Jiang Cheng anymore.
This guy clearly doesn’t seem loyal to the Celestial Palace.
Does he truly possess an Immortal Grade Celestial Heart?
Yan Yi stepped forward slowly, not backing down.
"Indeed, I need to check his Celestial Heart now, I believe I have the right to inspect anytime?"
She represented the Evil Immortal Realm.
Although her power didn’t match Prince Yi’s, she showed no fear.
Prince Yi felt overwhelmed.
If Jiang Cheng’s Celestial Heart rank wasn’t top-grade, the Celestial Palace would have lost, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
He glanced at the carefree Jiang Cheng.
This guy was totally relaxed, wasn’t he?
Well, he wouldn’t lose anything if the Celestial Palace lost.
This made Prince Yi even more frustrated.
He clenched his teeth: "You do have the right to request an inspection anytime, but the situation is serious, I need to inform other Divine Monarchs first."
Yan Yi smiled faintly: "Go ahead!"
A moment later, King Shi and four other Divine Monarchs arrived at the Reception Hall.
Seeing this, all Daoist Venerables almost fainted from shock.
What’s going on?
Just this kid, really able to alarm so many Divine Monarchs?
King Shi and others couldn’t be bothered with them and entered the sealed space directly.
Without waiting for questions, Prince Yi irritably recounted everything that had happened.
Hearing Jiang Cheng demanding to be a First Grade Immortal Official and threatening to defect from the Celestial Palace to the Land of Dao Extinction, the four newly arrived Divine Monarchs were enraged.
"What?"
"Kid, what did you say?"
"How dared you be so impudent?"
"Rebellious, are you asking for death?"
Facing their anger, Brother Cheng carefree waved his hand.
"Alright alright, you wouldn’t dare kill me, stop your bluffing, maintain some dignity."
He had all five Divine Monarchs thoroughly gripping.
Brother Cheng wasn’t foolish; he fully understood his current significance to the Celestial Palace.
Not leveraging it would be ungrateful for their ’favor’.
"Kid, just you wait!"
The immediate task was to inspect Jiang Cheng’s Celestial Heart tier, particularly with Yan Yi watching.
King Shi waved his hand to summon an Immortal Array detection.
He gestured toward Yan Yi.
"You can go in yourself to inspect whether there are issues with this Immortal Array."
The five Divine Monarchs seemed quite gracious in this aspect.
"If uneasy, we can use your own prepared detection Immortal Array."
With those words, Yan Yi naturally held no suspicion.
She leisurely glanced at Sect Leader Jiang.
"Please proceed!"
Brother Cheng hesitated not, boldly stepped in.
Immediately, the Immortal Array glowed brightly.
"Immortal Grade Celestial Heart!"
The result astonished Yan Yi.
"How is that possible?"
"His disregard for the Celestial Palace, constantly on the verge of rebellion, yet maintaining an Immortal Grade loyalty?"
"Hahahahaha..."
King Shi stroked his beard laughing, looking at the just exited Sect Leader Jiang, eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Very good, still at Immortal Grade."
"Yan Yi, what else do you have to say?"
"Did you think our Celestial Palace would lose so quickly?"
"Look forward to the final result in ten thousand years!"
