Yang Fan understood that having him take action as merely in order to find an excuse that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City could not refuse.
But so what?
Being stifled for too long, he had got to release it!
Hence, Yang Fan was like a jumping clown, talking drivel there, his words being very disdainful toward Zheng Qi.
"Hey, Zheng Qi this cowardly turtle, why haven't you come out yet? I say, your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City wouldn't deliberately want to shield him, right? Since he's already dying, then hurry up and get him out so that this Yang can send him off!"
Yang Fang talked in high spirits over there but did not detect that a hint of ripple surfaced in space.
Qiao Anshan and the rest were powerful and had long detected something amiss, faces involuntarily changing slightly.
At this time, a figure slowly walked out. Qiao Anshan and the rest suddenly changed countenance.
Yang Fan's haughty voice suddenly stopped, just like a duck with its throat squeezed, emitting a strange cry.
"Z-Z-Zheng … Y-You … Impossible! I … My eyesight must be failing!"
Yang Fang was frightened by the scene in front of him until his entire face turned purple.
He rubbed his eyes hard, discovering the Zheng Qi was still standing there perfectly fine, his aura shocking!
At this time, Zheng Qi's eyes were profound, aura shocking. How was there still any hint of his essence being in a deficit, an appearance that he was not long for this world?
Of course, what they were shocked at was far from this!
Even though Zheng Qi did not deliberately release his realm pressure, the aura faintly given off his body was God knows how many times stronger than people in the Divine Lord Realm.
Even a fool could also tell that Zheng Qi was currently a true-blue Celestial Deity powerhouse!
On Utmost Peace Imperial City's side, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.
They scratched their scalps till it hurts and also could not understand why a dying man suddenly became a Celestial Deity powerhouse?
Back then, about Yang Fan beating down Zheng Qi with one palm, Wen Yilin saw it with his own eyes.
Just how long had passed, not only did Zheng Qi come back from the dead, he even broke through the massive shackle and became a Celestial Deity powerhouse?
The faces of Wen Yilin and Zuo Shujie revealed a look of wild elation when they saw Zheng Qi's breakthrough was successful.
Ye Yuan this boy truly turned something rotten into the magical!
It also could not be blamed that Qiao Anshan they all opened their mouths wide, not daring to believe. Even they themselves were affected, so how did the others not also feel like they were dreaming?
"City Lord, I heard that … someone wants to find me to take revenge?" Zheng Qi said coolly.
One sentence, Yang Fan's face turned pale with a whoosh.
Take revenge?
Finding a Celestial Deity to take revenge?
My head f*cking burned out, right?!
Yang Fang wished to find a hole in the ground to bore into at this time.
He finally realized that he was simply a clown jumping around just now.
He wanted to send Zheng Qi off?
Zheng Qi sending him off was more like it!
Zuo Shujie had a broad smile and said by nudging his mouth, "There, it's that person, Gao Yuan's disciple! He said that he has the enmity of killing his master with you and cannot live under the same sky as you. He even said to let everyone be a witness, he wanted to help his master, Gao Yuan, take revenge. Why don't you grant his filial piety!"
"Hahaha!"
The powerhouses in the city finally could not hold it in anymore, all letting out wild laughter.
This scene was simply comical to the extreme.
"It's really killing me! A Divine Lord Realm actually wants to find a Celestial Deity powerhouse to take revenge! His head was kicked by a donkey, right?"
"You look at his c.o.c.ky appearance just now, he probably only knows how to bully the old, weak, sick, and disabled, right?"
"Is this guy really Utmost Peace Imperial City's elder? This is clearly a clown! Hahaha!"
...
The entire city roared with laughter. This scene was simply wonderful to the extreme.
Yang Fan's face simply had nowhere to put.
"City Lord, I …" Yang Fan had a bitter look, looking at Qiao Anshan anxiously.
Qiao Anshan's expression at this time was not much better than Yang Fan's.
This was Yang Fan losing face, could it be that he wasn't losing face?
"Scram to one side! Disgraceful thing!" Qiao Anshan said in a solemn voice.
Yang Fan felt akin to being granted amnesty and hurriedly retreated to the back of the group.
But at this time, how could Zuo Shujie be willing to yield?
"Don't go! Just now, it was you all who were shouting and wrangling, calling to have Zheng Qi come out, saying to find him to take revenge. Now that I called him out, why don't you all take it! Yang Fan, where's your filial piety?"
Zuo Shujie pressed on relentlessly. Now, it was turning one's spear against himself, even Qiao Anshan also did not know how to dodge it for a while.
Qiao Anshan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said in a low voice, "Who can tell me what's going on?"
Wen Yilin still had not come back to his senses until now. Hearing Qiao Anshan questioning people, he answered, "This … might be that the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City obtained a natural treasure of heaven and earth recently, this punk hit the jackpot, breaking through by a fluke!"
Another Celestial Deity powerhouse, Peng Zhi, also said: "It must be so! Celestial Deity Realm isn't as common as cabbages, being able to break through when one wants to break through. Zheng Qi was just lucky! A first-layered heaven Celestial Deity who just broke through, there is nothing to fear at all!"
Qiao Anshan nodded slightly. He also felt that this was the most likely scenario.
Hence, he gave a cold snort and said, "Zuo Shujie, do you still want face or not? Forcing a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse to seek revenge on a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse? Since Zuo Shujie already broke through, then he's someone of our generation. How can he go and get involved in the matters of Divine Lords again?"
When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar.
This degree of shamelessness was unparalleled.
It was clearly you all who pushed people too far. Now, you even played the blame game, saying the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was shameless.
Zuo Shujie clasped his hands and said with a look of admiration, "Qiao Anshan, this Zuo got to hand it to you today! Your face is even thicker than my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's city walls! Even if this Zuo brings out 100% of my power, it probably can't breach the skin of your face either!"
Qiao Anshan's face turned black and was just about to flare up when another horrifying aura descended from the sky.
A middle-aged man in azure clothing slowly stepped out of the void.
The horrifying aura exuding off his body made the faces of Heavenly Eagle's powerhouses change greatly.
This aura was much stronger than even the two great city lords!
Zuo Shujie's and Qiao Anshan's face changed at the same time, saying to the middle-aged man in azure clothing respectfully, "Paying respects to Lord Inspector!"
The middle-aged man in azure nodded slightly and said coolly, "Southridge Ten Cities has already not activated the Golden Sword Token for several tens of thousands of years. What is it for this time?"
Chapter 1696 - Magic One Out for You
"Reporting to Lord Inspector, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City killed my Utmost Peace's head elder inside a mystic realm with extremely shameless means, snatching away the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! Head Elder Gao Yuan was the most promising to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm in our Utmost Peace Imperial City. This time, our Utmost Peac
e suffered heavy losses. Therefore, that's why this lowly official activated the Golden Sword Token out of rage."
"Lord Inspector, Qiao Anshan is making slanderous charges! Gao Yuan plotted to harm my Heavenly Eagle's martial artists many times in the mystic realm and more than deserves death!"
...
The moment they came up, Qiao Anshan and Zuo Shujie engaged in a war of words.
Each side believed that they were correct, both sides having their merits.
But this kind of thing was clearly unable to distinguish between true and fake.
When the middle-aged man in azure heard 'Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain,' these few words, his brows raised up slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.
"Enough!"
When the middle-aged man in azure saw the two people quarrel without stopping, he could not help shouting in a low voice.
Sure enough, the two people did not dare to speak anymore.
The middle-aged man in azure said, "I didn't expect that the Southridge Ten Cities, this kind of remote place, can actually give birth to a treasure like the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. No wonder you all did not stint to activate the Golden Sword Pact for this! Since the Golden Sword Token is already issued, then follow the rules. The victor gets the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!"
The middle-aged man in azure clearly saw it very clearly. This kind of debate, arguing for 10 thousand years and it was also hard to determine the winner.
The crux of the problem was the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. Qiao Anshan's goal for activating the Golden Sword Pact was clearly for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain too.
It was no use fighting a war of saliva; there was only showcasing one's true ability.
At this time, Qiao Anshan suddenly said, "Lord Inspector, we didn't activate the Golden Sword Pact this time just for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. It's also for a person!"
The inspector was slightly surprised as he said, "Oh? Who is it?"
Qiao Anshan said, "He's called Ye Yuan, the main culprit who killed Head Elder Gao Yuan! If we win in the Golden Sword Pact this time, we still want Heavenly Eagle to hand this kid over!"
The inspector nodded his head when he heard that and said, "If you can win, you naturally have the final say."
In the eyes of the inspector, only Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses could enter his arcane sights. The life and death of a Divine Lord, he would not go and pay attention at all.
Losing the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, would Heavenly Eagle still care about one person?
But Zuo Shujie's expression changed and he said, "Qiao Anshan, you're shameless!"
Qiao Anshan sneered and said, "Where's Ye Yuan? In front of Lord Inspector, you wouldn't want to hide him, right? Or is it that that kid is already scared until he doesn't dare to come out?"
"Yeah, you're too ugly, scaring this elder badly until I don't even dare to come out.c
Right then, a languid voice suddenly sounded out. Ye Yuan's figure stepped on the air and arrived.
"Puchi!"
Ye Yuan's words immediately aroused a burst of laughter.
Qiao Anshan was very short and his appearance very ugly. It was indeed somewhat frightening.
Qiao Anshan was greatly enraged the moment he heard and said, "Brat, you're courting death!"
Ye Yuan still had a lazy expression as he said coolly, "The Golden Sword Pact hasn't started yet and you want to make a show of authority already? Do you have any respect for Lord Inspector?"
Qiao Anshan's expression changed and indeed did not dare to make a move anymore.
Ye Yuan gave a bow to the inspector and saluted as he said, "Heavenly Eagle's Ye Yuan, pays respect to Lord Inspector."
A hint of surprise briefly flashed across the inspector's eyes. He discovered to his surprise that with his strength, he actually could not quite see through this young man!
This kid was not simple!
Virtually at once, the inspector drew a conclusion about Ye Yuan.
The inspector asked with some confusion, "You're Ye Yuan? Qiao Anshan said that it was you who killed Utmost Peace's head elder, Gao Yuan?"
Logically speaking, with Ye Yuan's realm, it was impossible to kill Gao Yuan.
Who knew that Ye Yuan nodded his head, admitted it very shamelessly, and said "Gao Yuan that guy wanted to kill me time and again. In the end, his strength was lacking and was quashed by me using the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain instead. Inside mystic realms, killing people and snatching treasures is a common occurrence, what's the big deal? Qiao Anshan, if you want the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, say it open and aboveboard; want to be a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e and also want to set up a memorial archway, your heart is indeed as ugly as your face!"
Qiao Anshan's face turned from green to yellow. He discovered that he really was not Ye Yuan's match in arguments.
At this rate, he would be angered to death by Ye Yuan for sure.
Qiao Anshan glared at Ye Yuan and said, "Razor-tongued little basted! Wait till the Golden Sword Pact is over, I'll see if your mouth can still be glib or not!"
Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Is it just two more people in the Celestial Deity Realm? Look at how you're showing off!"
Mentioning Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses, Qiao Anshan finally found a reason to be proud of himself and said with a big laugh, "What reason do I have to not show off? The strong reigns supreme! An ant-like person like you only has the right to be trampled underfoot by this seat! If you have the capability, magic out two more Celestial Deity Realms for me! Hahaha!"
Ye Yuan looked at Qiao Anshan like looking at an idiot and suddenly reached his hand out and pointed, pointing in the direction of the Martial Tower, and said coolly, "Ugly, you look closely. I'll magic one out for you right now!"
Qiao Anshan's expression changed, looking in the direction that Ye Yuan pointed, but there was no activity at all. His face could not help turning dark as he said, "Little bastard, you dare to toy with me?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Toy with you? You take a look again."
Qiao Anshan turned his head again and still did not discover any movements.
He was practically about to lose it!
Qiao Anshan could not wait for a moment longer. He swore in his heart and he must kill Ye Yuan.
Qiao Anshan gnashed his teeth in hatred and looked at Ye Yuan as he said, "Little bastard, very good! You're very good! After the Golden Sword Pact, you'll know what's called a life worse than death!"
Ye Yuan had a wide grin and looked at Qiao Anshan as he said, "You take a look again, really magicked them out!"
"Little bastard, are you done?! Lord Inspector, this lowly official requests to immediately start the Golden Sword Pact!" Qiao Anshan was virtually about to break down and said to the inspector.
But he waited for a long time and the inspector did not even move.
Lifting his head and looking, Qiao Anshan discovered that the inspector had a solemn look, and the direction that he was looking in was precisely the direction of the Martial Tower, which was also the direction that Ye Yuan pointed at.
Qiao Anshan was alarmed inwardly and instinctively turned his head to look, his expression instantly changing drastically.
It was only to see that the original peaceful Martial Tower actually raged with a fierce storm at this time.
Violent spiritual energy poured over in that direction frenziedly.
This commotion was clearly someone breaking through to Celestial Deity Realm!
R-Really magicked out?
It was only to see a figure fly out of the Martial Tower, standing high in the sky, absorbing spiritual energy frantically.
That commotion was extremely shocking.
"That … That's Coldfeather! How … How is it possible? He … He broke through too!" Wen Yilin cried out strangely and shouted in disbelief.
Wen Yilin was not foreign to Coldfeather. They were geniuses in the same era and had once contended for a long time in secret.
It was just that the final result was that Wen Yiling stepped into the Celestial Deity Realm, while Coldfeather ended up missing.
Even though Coldfeather came back now, he was already no threat to Wen Yilin.
How could more than 100 thousand years of idling away be that easy to remedy?
Wen Yiling coming this time, he originally wanted to see Coldfeather and even chastise the latter a bit.
But who knew that what he waited for was this kind of result!
Chapter 1697 - Four Celestial Deities Gathered Together!
Qiao Anshan's pupils constricted. His head felt like it exploded with a buzz.
Another Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse!
This way, wouldn't Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's Celestial Deity powerhouses be the same as Utmost Peace Imperial City?
Qiao Anshan stared fixedly at the Coldfeather above the Martial Tower's sky, his eyes full of disbelief.
When did Celestial Deity powerhouses become cabbages?
Overnight, Heavenly Eagle actually had two more Celestial Deity powerhouses!
"This … This is impossible! He had wasted more than 100 thousand years and has long passed his prime already! How can he possibly break through to reach the Celestial Deity Realm?"
"If say one was hitting the jackpot, then what about two? This … This is also too ridiculous, right?"
"Who can tell me what on earth happened?"
...
Utmost Peace Imperial City's side, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.
The shock that Coldfeather's breakthrough brought to them was too much.
To the Southridge Ten Cities' Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, the Celestial Deity Realm was like a heavenly chasm, unable to surmount it at all.
How many Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were there in the Southridge Ten Cities!
No one knew!
However, these ten cities' Celestial Deity powerhouses added up were merely a scanty few 20 to 30 people!
This kind of breakthrough ratio virtually made people despair.
Hence, don't look at how those in the Celestial Deity Realm such Zheng Qi, Ning Tianping, they were extremely talented. When arriving in front of the threshold of Celestial Deity Realm, that was an insurmountable high mountain!
