Hearing this, Yang Qi's face suddenly darkened. He looked coldly at the middle-aged man in front of him and said in a cold tone, "What did you say?"
Because Yang Qi had received the inheritance from Emperor Haoyang, he had a strong sense of belonging to Tianwu Sect. Originally, Yang Qi did not care too much about the challenge from Young Master Wei Yi, but now that the other party actually belittled Tianwu Sect, he was extremely angry. Tianwu Sect was indeed not that strong. After all, the strongest cultivator in the headquarters was only a three-star Martial Emperor. However, Tianwu Sect was a Martial Emperor-level cultivation force after all. Wei Yi was only a Martial Emperor. How could he criticize a Martial Emperor-level cultivation force!
"you… "
The middle-aged man was startled by Yang Qi's cold gaze, but after reacting he was happy instead of surprised. He came here on behalf of Wei Yi, and what he had to do was to make sure Yang Qi accepted the challenge!
"Did I say something wrong?"
The middle-aged man sneered and continued, "The Corpse Puppet Sect and the Tianwu Sect are said to be separate sects, but they are attached to the Qingdi Palace. It's ridiculous. Especially according to rumors, there is a certain Haoyang Emperor. As the Martial Emperor of the Tianwu Sect, he actually worshipped as a disciple of the Qingdi Palace. I wonder if the founder of the Tianwu Sect would be so angry that he would die if he were still alive!"
"well!"
Yang Qi laughed in anger. Emperor Haoyang had already fallen a long time ago, and he had done him great favors, but now he was being humiliated like this. One could imagine how angry he was. However, even so, he did not rashly agree to accept the challenge.
Wei Yi should be a cultivator at the Martial Emperor level, but he had no idea what the other party's level was. If the other party was a high-level Martial Emperor, an eight-star Martial Emperor, he would be asking for trouble if he accepted the challenge! Therefore, even though he was extremely angry, Yang Qi did not rashly accept the other party's challenge. At least he had to know the other party's strength.
Feeling Yang Qi's anger, the middle-aged man became more proud, because the angrier Yang Qi was, the more likely he was to accept the challenge. Before he came to the Qingdi Palace, Wei Yi had instructed him that no matter what, he had to make Yang Qi accept the challenge!
As long as Yang Qi accepts the challenge, he will have accomplished a great feat in front of Wei Yi!
“Emperor Haoyang is still a Martial Emperor after all. Although he doesn’t have much backbone, he is much stronger than you.” The middle-aged man looked at Yang Qi and continued, “My son Wei Yi challenged you. Although my son has already entered the six-star Martial Emperor realm, he will suppress his cultivation to the same level as you in the challenge. You don’t even have the courage to accept it. How pathetic!”
After figuring out Wei Yi's strength, Yang Qi looked at the middle-aged man and said with a cold smile, "Okay, I accept your young master's challenge. I hope that when the time comes, your young master will not regret it!"
Hearing that Yang Qi accepted Wei Yi's challenge, the middle-aged man's face lit up with joy. He quickly handed the challenge letter prepared by Wei Yi to Yang Qi and chuckled, "Don't be absent when the time comes, otherwise it will only be more embarrassing."
"Don't worry, I won't be absent."
Yang Qi snorted coldly, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "By the way, let me tell you something. My master is Emperor Haoyang!"
Um
The middle-aged man was startled. When he came to his senses, he was about to continue mocking Yang Qi, but when he felt Yang Qi's cold gaze, his heart skipped a beat.
"He's just a low-level Martial Emperor. My young master's master is Emperor Jialuo, a powerful high-level Martial Emperor!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, then left the Qingdi Palace with disdain on his face.
"Emperor Jialuo, high-level martial emperor? Master Wei Yi, Emperor Haoyue..."
Looking at the middle-aged man leaving, Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. For some reason, he felt that there was some connection between Emperor Haoyue's sudden departure and Wei Yi's challenge to him.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "It seems that something must have happened while I was in seclusion!"
Yang Qi was also very curious about what happened during his retreat, but now that Emperor Haoyue was not here, he had no way to find out what had happened even if he wanted to.
"Junior Brother Yang, you shouldn't have accepted Wei Yi's challenge." Just as Yang Qi was thinking to himself, a familiar voice sounded in his ears. When he looked up, he found that the cultivator who had notified him before had arrived.
Yang Qi looked at the newcomer and asked curiously, "Brother, you are..."
"My name is Zheng Xian." The man said with a slight smile.
"So it's Senior Brother Zheng." Yang Qi bowed slightly, and then asked, "I wonder what Senior Brother meant by what he said just now?"
“Junior Brother Yang, you just came to the Zhenwu Sect, so you may not have heard of Wei Yi. Although he is only a six-star Martial Emperor in the late stage of his cultivation, he once killed a seven-star Martial Emperor. He studied under Emperor Jialuo, and is definitely one of the top three mid-level Martial Emperors of his generation in the Zhenwu Sect.” Zheng Xian said solemnly.
Um
Yang Qi was startled. Although he knew that Wei Yi might not be simple, he did not expect that he not only had an extraordinary background, but also had extremely high talent potential. He was able to kill a seven-star martial emperor in the late six-star martial arts stage. This talent potential was definitely much stronger than Baruk and Baili Xiang who had competed with him in the arena.
“I didn’t expect that Wei Yi has such strength. However, with his suppressed cultivation, I am confident that I can fight him.” Yang Qi said calmly.
If Yang Qi did not suppress his cultivation, he would not be completely sure of defeating Wei Yi. However, if he suppressed his cultivation, defeating Wei Yi would not be a difficult task. After all, Wei Yi needed to suppress an entire realm, which would definitely have an impact on his own strength.
"Junior Brother Yang, you are taking things too lightly." Zheng Xian said with a wry smile.
"oh?"
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zheng Xian in confusion, "I wonder what advice Senior Brother Zheng has for you?"
"Do you know that the cultivator who was responsible for delivering the challenge letter to you appeared here almost a month ago and has been waiting, waiting for you to come out and accept the challenge." Zheng Xian looked at Yang Qi.
Um
Yang Qi's face changed slightly. He really didn't know about this. But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't find it strange. He had not been in the Qingdi Palace for a long time. Even Zheng Xian and others might not know of his existence.
If the other party had not been urging and waiting, how could Zheng Xian and others find him so soon after he came out of seclusion
Wei Yi's challenge to Yang Qi was clearly premeditated. After such a long time, Wei Yi must have known something about him. The relationship between Qingdi Palace and Tianwu Continent was no secret in Zhenwu Star Region. It was impossible for the other party not to go to Tianwu Continent to learn more. Yang Qi's reputation was booming during this period, so how could Wei Yi not know his methods
Zheng Xian looked at Yang Qi and said slowly, "Although suppressing your cultivation will have some impact on your strength, the help from your realm and external objects will not be restricted. Your own strength is far beyond that of practitioners at the same realm. In addition, Wei Yi may have known you for a long time, so I said that Junior Brother Yang was a little rash in accepting the challenge." (To be continued)
