Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 954: The Arrogant Que Tianyi

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

This Que Tianyi was none other than the personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor who’d been previously recruited in place of Qin Wentian. He was a descendant of the Scarce Moon Immortal King, and he’d participated in the recruitment event back in the Royal Sacred Region alongside Qin Wentian and Hua Taixu.

His status was extremely high in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. He was considerably talented, and was also willing to put in the effort for his cultivation. It had been quite some time since he’d stepped into the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon and now his goal was purely to establish an immortal foundation and become an immortal.

This time, he was leading several disciples from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect to the City of Ancient Emperors to cultivate. These people were all important characters of the sect, each with outstanding talent. Gusu Tianqi had performed brilliantly during the recent once-per-hundred-years immortal banquet, and had been chosen to be a personal disciple by the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. He was his junior apprentice brother, and a month ago, Gusu Tianqi had also stepped into the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon.

Other than the two of them being personal disciples, there were quite a few others who were ordinary disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. These people were all personally taught by the immortal kings in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, and one could very well imagine how strong their formation could be. Hence, although they were in the City of Ancient Emperors—where geniuses were as common as clouds—they were still filled with immense self-confidence. They believed that they could easily sweep aside all those who opposed them, establishing a power of their own to dominate a region in the City of Ancient Emperors.

However, soon after entering the City of Ancient Emperors, a group of people from a small sect had dared to rob them. In a bout of anger, they stormed the headquarters of the sect and narrowly emerged victorious after injuring the sect leader. Only then did they let out that breath of resentment suppressed in their chest. And now…after entering this inn, they had to deal with a new kind of farce. Who did this lass think she was? Merely a seventh-level ascendant, yet she wanted them to apologize? How ridiculous.

Hence, seeing that the young lady had no intention of budging, Que Tianyi instantly told her to scram.

”You…” Zhao Xin`er pointed her finger at them. She coldly continued, ”How dare all of you be so disrespectful towards Princess Nanfeng and Princess Qing`er. Now, you’re even daring to ask my sect leader to come here personally? I will never consent to such a thing.”

—BANG!— Que Tianyi’s palm slammed directly on the table, shattering it in an instant. An extremely cold aura gushed forth from him. He looked at Zhao Xin`er with eyes that resembled a moon of coldness—glacial-like and extremely chilling.

In that instant, the atmosphere inside the inn became extremely tense. That ugly young man then continued speaking, ”We tried to give you face, but you didn’t want it. Now, even if the so-called beauties of your sect were to deliver themselves into our arms, it would still have to depend on our mood to see whether we take them or not.”

”Shameless,” Zhao Xin`er spat. However, the ugly-looking young man’s silhouette flickered, moving with extreme speed as he advanced towards her. Zhao Xin`er blasted out a palm strike, yet the movements of the ugly-looking young man were extremely crafty and he easily dodged her attack. He was in front of her in an instant and his fingers brushed across her face in a teasing manner before he returned to his original location.

”What tender skin.” That ugly young man brought his fingers to his nose and inhaled deeply, breathing in the fragrance. ”Why don’t you get those two so-called supreme beauties over here and let me touch them as well.”

A look of provocation flashed in his sinister eyes. Zhao Xin`er’s face was painted with rage as waves of coldness gushed forth from her. However, Leng Pingchao held her back and transmitted her voice, ”Xin`er, calm yourself. These are not good people, so let’s go back and find the members of our sect.”

Zhao Xin`er stiffened. Her enraged gaze stared at the ugly young man. Such a humiliation was completely unacceptable to a young girl like her.

”Let’s leave.” Leng Pingchao pulled her along as they retreated, preparing to depart.

”You want to leave just like that?” Que Tianyi icily stated. His cold intent enveloped the inn, and upon feeling its pressure, the other patrons of the inn all wore expressions of interest on their faces. The strength of this man wasn’t weak. In fact, the people in his group were all pretty strong characters. They must surely be top-tier characters of some immortal emperor sect; it explained why they were so arrogant.

In addition, they didn’t even know about the Qin Sect? And not only that, they’d never even heard of the name Nanfeng Yunxi and Qing`er before. Clearly, they were newbies who had just arrived at this place, or such a scene would never have happened.

Since the Qin Sect had the third, fourth and fifth-ranked cultivators as members, nobody else in the City of Ancient Emperors dared to provoke them. Even Mo Xie had vanished silently. But now, these newbies were actually offending the Qin Sect right off the bat. How interesting was that? It looked like there would soon be some drama for them to spectate.

In this place, everyone was a heaven’s chosen. It was only natural that they were arrogant. However, these newbies were simply too brazen. The other spectators in the inn also couldn’t be bothered to warn them. They were content merely to sit and watch the situation unfold.

”What do you want then?” Leng Pingchao asked. Zhao Xin`er was angrily glaring at Que Tianyi.

”She stays behind. You can leave and get the people of your sect to come here,” Que Tianyi commanded, pointing at Zhao`er.

The geniuses who were sitting at another table exchanged glances as their eyes gleamed with excitement. How arrogant was this man? He actually wanted to force Zhao Xin`er to remain behind, and even blatantly told Leng Pingchao to get reinforcements from her sect? How lofty was his pride? This was pure, blind arrogance. It was clear he wanted to use this chance to challenge the geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors, and to try out the strength of this small sect he believed Zhao Xin`er belonged to.

Zhao Xin`er paled. Leng Pingchao’s eyes gleamed as she spoke. ”My junior sister is a little impulsive. If you guys want to take it out on someone, I’m willing to stay behind while she heads to our sect to get people to come over. Is that okay?”

”This Leng Pingchao isn’t bad. She’s able to endure things others would find it tough to.” Those watching the scene mused at her actions.

”No. You go, she stays. I don’t wish to repeat my words again,” Que Tianyi coldly spoke, his words causing the expression on Leng Pingchao to turn incredibly unsightly. After which, she turned to Zhao Xin`er and said, ”Junior Sis, wait here for me.”

At the same time she also transmitted her voice over, ”Xin`er, don’t be impulsive. There’s no need for us to suffer a clear disadvantage. Just suppress your anger for now, and I will be back soon.”

”Farewell.” Leng Pingchao clasped her hands towards Que Tianyi and his group, before her silhouette flickered and she departed.

”That young woman is much more intelligent.” The ugly young man smiled. ”It’s fine even if she brings reinforcements. What is this dogshit sect? Even if their sect leader comes, he can choose either to kneel before us in apology or he can choose to be so badly beaten up that he can’t even crawl up from the ground.”

”There are many experts in the City of Ancient Emperors. We mustn’t underestimate them.” Que Tianyi waved his hands casually. Although they were words of caution, from his actions everyone knew that it was just a flippant remark. Que Tianyi then turned to Gusu Tianqi as he asked, ”Junior Brother, why aren’t you talking?”

”We are here in the City of Ancient Emperors to temper ourselves. It’s fine if we lecture her a little, but I feel there’s no need to intentionally cause conflict,” Gusu Tianqi calmly replied. He was also a personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, with the same status as Que Tianyi. Hence, he could voice out his thoughts directly, since there was no pressure caused by the difference in status.

”Junior Brother, you saw it too. I was gracious enough to end the matter, yet she refused to budge and continued demanding that we apologize. If I didn’t do what I did, we would surely become a laughingstock. Since these sects in the City of Ancient Emperors have dared to be so rude to us, let us teach them a good lesson,” Que Tianyi calmly replied. ”In addition, the purpose of us being here was none other than to contend against the other geniuses. Also, Junior Brother, why do I feel that after that immortal banquet all those years ago, your sharpness seems to have diminished somewhat?”

Gusu Tianqi’s gaze flickered. He naturally understood what Que Tianyi was referring to. Back when the geniuses of the thirteen prefectures gathered for the chance to become the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s personal disciple, he, Gusu Tianqi, was the one with the highest amount of fame—and the majority also believed he’d be the one to rank in first place. In the end, however. two dark horses came out of nowhere. Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen trampled him underneath their feet, and the incident had deeply affected him.

”The Gusu Clan produces an immortal king every generation. I believe Junior Brother is capable of becoming a supreme immortal king in the future. Your arrogance and pride should match the glory of your clan. Since there are people who want to use their sect to suppress us, let’s show them how wrong they all are, as well as the true power of the disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. The geniuses here are all descendants or disciples of immortal kings and emperors, and they will eventually become those who stand at the peak of the immortal realms in the future. If we can stand above them here today, then in the future we can peer downwards at the entire immortal realm in disdain,” Que Tianyi arrogantly declared. Gusu Tianqi’s gaze flickered, but he didn’t say anything.

After speaking, Que Tianyi turned back to Zhao Xin`er. ”You, come over here.”

Zhao Xin`er turned ashen as she stared at Que Tianyi. She gritted her teeth before walking towards him.

”You are unwilling to accept this?” Que Tianyi coldly laughed. ”You’d better pray that your sect leader personally comes by later. Also, I really hope to see the supreme beauties of the Qin Sect you mentioned. If they really come, I will make them know the meaning of true humiliation, and they’ll be kneeling down to serve me. I shall let you see what the term ‘lowering their heads in submission’ truly entails.”

Supreme beauties? Que Tianyi had just seen too many. There were many highly talented beauties who wished to have a relationship with him, even in their dreams. Even in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, the females among the heaven’s chosen had been the same; weren’t they also quick to climb into his bed just to please him?

”Cough cough…” A random genius in the inn coughed, spitting out the mouthful of tea he just drank. Que Tianyi’s eyes flickered and he staring in their direction, only to see that person continue to cough before he laughed in a low voice, ”No one in the City of Ancient Emperors has ever been granted that kind of preferential treatment.”

”Oh, is that so? Looks like I’ll be the first one then.” Que Tianyi laughed. The genius who’d coughed stayed silent. He and his companions were thinking how arrogant these newbies were. Should the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor be happy because he recruited such arrogant disciples? Or should he be unhappy?

The other people in the inn no longer spoke nor smiled. Only those of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect continued to banter and laugh. It was as if they truly enjoyed this feeling of being in a superior position. However, they seemed to have overlooked one thing: although the inn was very silent, not one of the other geniuses had left. It was like they were all waiting for something.

”They‘re here,” Que Tianyi finally said. In the distance, he could see a group of figures flying over, before descending at their location. The person in the lead exuded a magnificence that could last through the generations, and she stood there in cold arrogance. This person was none other than Nanfeng Yunxi.

Upon seeing Nanfeng Yunxi, expressions of bewilderment appeared on the faces of those from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Evidently, they were completely taken aback. The supreme beauty Zhao Xin`er mentioned; she was truly peerless in terms of looks.

”Beautiful.” That ugly young man’s eyes gleamed with a strange light, staring at Nanfeng Yunxi’s perfect figure. His gaze roamed the area around her chest repeatedly, as he drooled with desire.

Nanfeng Yunxi’s eyes flickered. Her eyes were blazing with the flames of anger as she stared straight at that ugly young man, and an instant later, a red glow filled the sky as she stabbed her finger forward. That ugly young man instantly felt a terrifying premonition of danger boring down on him. He abruptly stood up, but it was too late—flames in the form of phoenix wings were already slashing down on him.

”ARGHHH!” A miserable cry rang out. The eyes of that ugly-looking young man were directly maimed with a slash of a phoenix wing. Fresh blood leaked out, and he clutched his eyes with both hands as he screamed in agony, rolling around on the ground. The members of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect all stood up, only to see the members accompanying Nanfeng Yunxi shoot forward, trapping them within a circle!
