"Let him go." Yi Sheng waved his hand and the chains of spirit energy released Qin Xuan's body. They quickly flew out of the hall as if they had never appeared before.
At this moment, the gazes of the crowd shifted onto Qin Xuan. They didn't expect him to be so eloquent that he would change the minds of the country's Emperor. This wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
"Thank you, country leader." Qin Xuan thanked Yi Sheng. He was glad that Yi Sheng had listened to his explanation. Otherwise, he would have had a hard time escaping his calamity.
"I won't pursue the matter of deceit, but why did I reject Yi?" Yi Sheng looked at Qin Xuan again and asked with a tone filled with authority. Refusing to join the Nine Heaven Immortal Palace in front of so many powers, this made the Nine Heaven Immortal Kingdom look extremely disgraceful.
I come from the Profound Sky Continent and have already joined their sect. I went to the Asura Hell to gain experience and did not plan to join any other powers in the sect. Qin Xuan looked at Yi Shengdao with sincerity, as if what he said was from the bottom of his heart and he did not lie at all.
Yi Sheng's eyes flickered but did not respond to Qin Xuan's words.
From a moral point of view, he indeed had no reason to force Qin Xuan to join the Nine Heaven Immortal Country. However, what Qin Xuan did damaged the reputation of the country.
"Your Majesty, not only did Qin Xuan reject the Immortal State's invitation, he also rejected the invitation of the son of the Yu Sheng." Your Majesty, Qin Xuan not only rejected the Immortal State's invitation, but also the son of the Yu Sheng. At this time, Mu Wang pleaded for Qin Xuan.
"But it has already happened. How can we redeem the face that the country of Immortals lost?" Yi Sheng looked calmly at Mu Wang as he spoke slowly, causing the latter's gaze to freeze.
He had known Yi Sheng for many years. When Yi Sheng said this, it meant that he would not forgive Qin Xuan.
At this moment, several beams of incomparably bright divine light descended from the skies above the palace. Numerous experts with powerful auras stepped out, each of them exuding an extraordinary aura.
The person in the middle was a middle-aged man in a green robe. He had a scholarly face, deep eyes and a refined demeanor. His aura was deep and unfathomable, making it impossible for anyone to see through his cultivation.
Behind him were a few young people, the strongest among them having reached the peak of the High Rank of Monarch Stage.
"I am here on the orders of the Holy Lord to pay a visit to the Imperial Lord!" A loud and clear voice came out of the green-robed middle-aged man's mouth, transforming into a terrifying sound wave. The sound wave quickly spread throughout the entire palace and naturally entered the great hall as well.
After hearing the voice, the expressions of many people within the hall went cold. They naturally knew where those people came from. Other than those from that place, no other power dared to come directly to the immortal palace. This was simply too presumptuous!
At this moment, Yi Sheng's expression looked displeased as well. He stared outside the hall, as though he had penetrated through layers of space. He looked at the silhouettes as he said faintly, "Since you've arrived, come in and pay your respects."
When the green robed middle age man heard the word 'greetings', a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. However, he did not say anything. With Yi Sheng's strength and identity, they indeed needed to pay their respects.
"Let's go." After which, he led the rest of the youths out, shuttling through the void, and in the span of a breath, they arrived at the great hall.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but turn around and look at the people behind him. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. To dare to come to the immortal palace in such a manner, it seemed that these people had quite a bit of power behind them.
Within the Changyang realm, there was only one power that had the right to do so, and that was the Glazed Light Holy Land.
These people were likely from the Glazed Light Sacred Grounds.
"Yuan Gang!" The gazes of the crowd in the hall landed on the middle-aged man. Their hearts couldn't help but tremble, this was one of the Ten Sacred Saints.
They had not expected the Glazed Light Sacred Land to send such a figure. It seemed that they had come prepared this time.
Yi Sheng looked at Yuan Gang. His eyes remained calm without any ripples. With his status and cultivation, it was difficult for his state of mind to fluctuate too much. Even if the Glazed Light Holy Land brought people over, it was not a big deal for him.
"Greetings, King." Yuan Gang and the rest bowed towards Yi Sheng.
"Did Liu Sheng ask you to come?" Liu Sheng was the Holy Master of the Glazed Light Holy Land. He was also a Saint of the seventh step and was on par with Yi Sheng.
"Exactly." Yuan Gang nodded his head and clasped his hands towards Yi Sheng, "During this period of time, a group of talented youngsters have appeared in the Sacred Land. Therefore, the Holy Lord sent me to bring them over to learn from the peers in the immortal kingdoms, to exchange insights into the martial way, to verify each other's insights, and to improve together."
"Hypocritical!" Although they said it was for a spar, in reality, they were only trying to test the strength of the immortal realms. Moreover, the people that Yuan Gang brought were probably the top disciples of the Glazed Light Realm.
They also noticed that among the people Yuan Qing had brought, there were people with Early Rank of Emperor Stage from the first level to the second level. Only those who had not reached the Great Emperor Realm could not help but have other thoughts in their hearts.
As everyone knew, the third prince's talent was peerless within his generation, and was known as the number one person under the Immortal Kingdom's Saint Stage. The Glazed Light Sacred Land did not send the Great Emperor over, could it be to avoid a confrontation with the third prince?
If that was really the case, then wasn't this a bit too despicable?
Yi Sheng naturally thought of what they could think of as well. He looked at Yuan Gang and said, "Return and tell Liu Sheng to arrange another day for a spar. I have some matters to settle today."
Liu Sheng wanted to take this opportunity to test the strength of the Nine Heaven Immortal Countries, but how could Yi Sheng allow him to do as he pleased? He rejected the idea and allowed the exchange of pointers, but both parties had to agree on a time limit.
Seemingly having long anticipated Yi Sheng's words, Yuan Gang clasped his fists and said politely, "I've come specifically to inform you that you must spar with someone of the same generation as you. If you return just like this, I won't be able to explain it to you."
Yi Sheng's eyes flashed with sharpness as he stared at Yuan Gang and asked, "Then, what do you want to do?"
"We are not in a hurry. If the country lord is in a hurry to deal with this matter, we can wait. We can wait until the country lord finishes dealing with everything and let the younger generation on both sides spar again." "There was a kind smile on his face, as if he was harmless.
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Yuan Gang's expression was so gentle that it made it difficult for Yi Sheng to do so. If they were to use the excuse of dealing with matters to chase them away, it would mean that they were afraid of the Glazed Light Holy Land and did not dare to fight them head on.
After speaking, Yuan Qing turned around and looked at the youngsters behind him. He then instructed them, "All of you can leave. You can come in after the Emperor has settled his matters."
"Yes." Everyone replied as they turned to leave.
"Enough." A cold voice came from Yi Sheng's mouth. He swept a glance at Yuan Gang and said calmly, "There's no need to continue acting."
Apparently, Yi Sheng could tell that these people would not rest until they had achieved their goal.
A smile appeared on Yuan Gang's face as he replied, "It looks like the matter regarding the Emperor has been settled. Let's begin the sparring."
"How do you plan on sparring?" The visitors were the guests. The rules of the competition were naturally decided by them.
"The people behind me have long heard of the glory of the immortal kingdoms, and I've come today specifically to test the strength of those of the same cultivation level. Thus, the immortal kingdoms only need to send out people of the same cultivation level to deal with them." Yuan Gang answered.
"A battle between cultivators of the same level." A strange light flashed in the eyes of those from the Nine Heavenly Immortal Countries. If that was the case, they would have the advantage. After all, this was their home ground, and there were many experts with great talent here.
"Sure." Yi He nodded.
"Since the country leader has no objections, then let them fight." After which, he turned and faced the crowd behind him, "Which of you would like to exchange pointers with the Heaven Chosen of the immortal countries first?"
"I'll go first." Immediately, a voice rang out. It was a young man from the Early Rank of Emperor Stage, with a handsome countenance and extraordinary temperament.
"Who among you will accept the challenge?" Yi Sheng's gaze swept across the crowd and asked.
A richly dressed figure walked out. Upon seeing that figure, the expressions of many people from the Nine Heavens Immortal Countries changed. The Ninth Prince had personally gone to battle!
"That is the ninth prince, Yi Ling." Mu Jinyu whispered to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly. From Yi Ling's clothes and temperament, he looked somewhat similar to Yi Ke. However, he was slightly younger compared to Yi Ke.
Yi Ling's cultivation base was also Early Rank of Emperor Stage, so he could naturally fight against the people from the Glazed Light Sacred Grounds.
"I am the disciple of the Glazed Light Holy Land, Xia He. Greetings, Ninth Prince." The young man smiled.
"Cut the crap, let's fight." Yi Ling said calmly, as though he couldn't be bothered to play along with Xia He.
"Then I'll be offending you!" The smile on Xia He's face immediately vanished, and he abruptly raised his hand. A tyrannical Great Dao Power swept out, transforming into a terrifying space palm imprint, directly shattering the void and destroying everything.
Yi Ling looked as calm as ever. He pushed his palms forward as golden ancient characters appeared around his body. He pointed his finger forward and countless golden characters flew out. Each character seemed to transform into a divine weapon, exuding a sharp aura.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
A thunderous sound rang out as the golden ancient character clashed against the spatial palm. The spatial palm contained an unstoppable divine force, shattering the characters one by one and burying them in the void.
"This …" Yi Ling's face turned extremely ugly. His heart was pounding and he could not believe what he saw in front of his eyes.
"Thanks for the win." A smile appeared on Xia He's face, then he retracted his aura and returned to his original position, as if nothing had happened. From start to finish, he was extremely polite and didn't say a single word of ridicule.
However, the more this happened, the more the people from the Nine Heavens Immortal Countries felt as if they were losing face, as if they had been silently humiliated!
