The Fourteenth Prince, Xuanqing, was extremely well-liked and drank with the many aides of the Ninth Prince one by one.

Qin Tian looked at the Fourteenth Prince and sighed inwardly. It was so strange. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, the Fourth Prince doesn’t know Martial Arts and is weak, yet so many people like him? It truly is strange.

”Your Highness, the person standing in the hall seems to be the newly appointed Great Governor of the East Gate in the Imperial City, Qin Tian. Why did you invite him?”

After three rounds of drinks, someone finally asked from the audience below.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Qin Tian one by one.

Qin Tian lowered his head, at this moment, he did not want to meet their gazes.

”Hahaha, Qin Tian... Qin Tian... why do you think I invited you?”

The Ninth Prince, holding a wine cup, stared at Qin Tian and laughed aloud.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the dancing palace maids to step back.

The Second Prince sneered, ”Everyone, do you not know what Qin Tian has done? Hmph, the Deputy Governor of the East Gate, He Mingdong, was killed by him!”

”Ah!”

Among those present, both the informed and the uninformed let out cries of shock from their mouths.

”He Mingdong was the Deputy Governor of the East Gate. Qin Tian did not have the authority to kill Governor He on his own, right?”

”This is a crime! Disregarding the royal law!”

”Too arrogant! Just arrived in the Imperial City a few days ago and already killed his deputy. What kind of thought is this?! Such a person is too insidious to be kept!”

”Please let the Ninth Prince make the decision for Governor He and kill Qin Tian to avenge him!”

”Please, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, make the decision!”

The people in the hall, speaking one after another, were like they were rehearsing a script, directly inciting the Ninth Prince to kill Qin Tian.

Qin Tian had already anticipated this situation before coming and stood in place, unmoved.

After the commotion, silence fell.

Then, deathly silence ensued.

The Ninth Prince lifted his head, his eyes filled with killing intent, staring at Qin Tian: ”Qin Tian, do you know your crime!?”

His voice suddenly amplified, causing those present to be taken aback.

Qin Tian, neither humble nor arrogant: ”Your Highness, in a moment of urgency, I accidentally killed Governor He Mingdong, and indeed made a mistake; however, He Mingdong colluded with demons and sold Demon Clan poisons, with irrefutable evidence. He was already guilty of a capital offense! With both testimonies and material evidence, Governor He Mingdong publicly stormed the East Gate prison intending to destroy the evidence, and even publicly defied the imperial laws, leading soldiers into battle with me. Killing him was indeed a last resort.”

”Hmph, a fine last resort! You killed a man of the Ninth Prince, and mere words of last resort will suffice? It seems you have grown tired of living!”

The Second Prince shouted angrily.

The Second Prince’s words once again spurred a bunch of people into hurling various insults at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian listened quietly, sneering coldly.

He was now prepared to fight to the end in this hall and wouldn’t worry too much.

”Qin Tian, you killed someone, and now you speak as though you are the victim. I actually admire your eloquence!”

The Ninth Prince put down his wine cup and said, ”All here are royal nobles. You see us and do not kneel; just for this alone, I can convict you of defying the royal law and remove you from office!”

”Yes! Kneel down!”

”Hurry and kneel!”

”Seeing the Royal Family, you don’t bow? Seeking death? Kneel!”

Around him, the so-called royal nobles all shouted at Qin Tian.

Almost everyone had an air of superiority, commanding with authority.

”Kneel now!”

The Second Prince yelled harshly, ”In front of us, do you intend to show how tough you are? No use!”

Qin Tian lifted his head, gritting his teeth as he glared at the Second Prince, eyes aflame with anger!

Better to die standing than live kneeling!

At this point, Qin Tian decided to tough it out to the end!

The Ninth Prince took another sip of wine and coldly remarked: ”Hmph, unexpected that the country bumpkin from East Capital City would also talk to me about backbone. Interesting. I want to see how long your backbone lasts!”

Saying this, the Ninth Prince stood up, and everyone suddenly froze.

At this moment, in the middle of the hall, a surge of True Qi suddenly radiated from the Ninth Prince, causing the atmosphere in the entire hall to become somewhat tense!

The True Qi was aimed at Qin Tian, a pressure from a strong man!

The oppressive force released by the Ninth Prince!

”Great Immortal... Peak!”

Feeling this powerful imposing aura, Qin Tian only felt a bit suffocated.

The Ninth Prince’s cultivation was either at the peak of the Great Immortal, or he had already ascended to the position of a Great Immortal!

Great Immortal, eternal and undying, with the wave of a hand, can overturn the heavens and the earth, a peerless being!

Such power in this Ninth Prince!? How formidable is he!? Qin Tian gaped in shock, aware that this was the foundation for the arrogance of these royal nobles!

Raised with extraordinary Cultivation Immortality Resources, possessing remarkable Cultivation Immortality Talent, they become outstanding among people!

Thud!

Thud!

From the front, the Ninth Prince stepped toward Qin Tian stride by stride!

With each step he took towards Qin Tian, the immense pressure from him applied to Qin Tian, forcing Qin Tian’s legs to tremble, sweating profusely!

At this moment, Qin Tian’s True Qi Shield was activated, and True Qi from the Dan Tian Qi Sea continuously poured out in an effort to counteract the Ninth Prince’s pressure, but all in vain!

Even as Qin Tian drew upon the Fire Attribute True Qi of the Fire Qilin, due to the vast disparity in Cultivation Level, it was still overpowered by the Ninth Prince’s immense pressure!

At this point, apart from the Divine Vein Technique and the Cold Ice True Qi of the Ice Dragon, Qin Tian had mobilized all the available True Qi, yet remained completely suppressed.

Until the final moment, Qin Tian was not prepared to release the Cold Ice True Qi of the Ice Dragon and the two dragon powers of the Divine Vein Technique, as these moves, once unveiled, would directly reveal his identity to the many experts present!

If that happened, even if Qin Tian survived the ordeal, he would undoubtedly be pursued by various experts from the Tianyuan Dynasty within the Imperial City and could never escape it!

Thud!

When the Ninth Prince was less than five meters away from Qin Tian, Qin Tian felt suffocated.

Thud!

At four meters, Qin Tian sensed the Ninth Prince’s oppressive force concentrated on his lower half, causing his legs to twitch!

Thud!

The Ninth Prince took another step, getting within three meters of Qin Tian!

The two stared directly at each other.

Qin Tian was dripping with sweat, his teeth clenched!

The Ninth Prince spoke with a leisurely air, looking down at Qin Tian, and said, ”At a distance of three meters, you can still hold on and not kneel? Hmph, quite the stubborn backbone!”

”If I take another small step forward, your knees will suffer severe injuries! Let’s see whether you kneel or not!”

While speaking, the Ninth Prince already took half a step forward!

Buzz!

A formidable and invincible force came crashing down on Qin Tian’s head!

In an instant, Qin Tian felt a ringing in his head, and under the oppressive weight, his knees throbbed with piercing pain!

Crack!

The floor beneath Qin Tian cracked instantly!

Qin Tian’s feet sunk downward!
