Chapter 168

The steward shook his head and said, "The invitations for the Fumo Temple have been sent out, but those monks haven't responded!"

A cold glint flashed in the Divine Martial King's eyes.

"Fumo Temple, it seems they don't want to give me face! Could it be that even now, they still want to stand on the side of the royal family?" He said coldly.

Beside the Divine Martial King, a thin scholar frowned and said, "Lord Divine Martial King, the strength of the Fumo Temple is second to none among the major sects in the world! Especially that Zen Master Tian'en; although he has lived in seclusion these years and no longer asks about worldly affairs, his prestige and strength are still there. If they oppose us, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."

The Divine Martial King snorted coldly and said, "Zen Master Tian'en? If it were a few years ago, I would really be wary of him, but unfortunately, he is no longer worth my attention! I gave him an invitation to give him face; since he doesn't want it, then it doesn't matter! After the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony ends and I inherit the throne of the Night Wind Kingdom, I will just directly eradicate this Fumo Temple!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is divine and martial!"

The Divine Martial King waved his hand and said, "Although it is a matter of time, I haven't ascended the throne yet, don't shout randomly!"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, what about the Scarlet Blood Demon Scorpion? Has he returned?"

The scholar hurriedly stood up and said, "Reporting to my lord, I have sent sound transmissions more than a dozen times, but the Scarlet Blood Demon Scorpion hasn't replied at all!"

The Divine Martial King frowned and said, "That bastard, I gave him so many resources and promised to let him blood-refine thirty cities when the time comes, and yet he dares to stand me up? It seems that after the ceremony ends, this guy can't be kept either!"

The scholar lowered his head and said, "My lord is right."

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Also, my lord, there is one more thing I must report to you."

"Speak!" The Divine Martial King said.

The scholar said, "There is intelligence saying that a major event happened in the Guiyuan Sect's Ziwei Secret Realm! It is said that the inheritance of the Ziwei Daoist has appeared, and a peerless genius has emerged in Bianbei City..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Divine Martial King smiled and waved his hand, "I know what you want to say. You are talking about that young man named Luo Tian, right?"

The scholar hurriedly nodded and said, "Exactly!"

The Divine Martial King laughed, "I heard this news long ago, don't take it to heart."

"Hm? Why?" The scholar was surprised.

The Divine Martial King said, "Can't you see that? The so-called Ziwei Daoist inheritance, or the genius Luo Tian, are all just the Guiyuan Sect playing tricks!"

"You also know that the Guiyuan Sect has been allied with the Gu royal family for generations. Naturally, they don't want to see the Gu family fall! However, their strength is not enough to shake me, so they can only play tricks and make up a Luo Tian to make me wary!"

At this point, the Divine Martial King took a sip of tea and continued, "It's just a pity, the guys from the Guiyuan Sect are probably too afraid of me, so the lies they made up are too outrageous! Saying he is a youth comparable to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, saying he shattered the heavenly tribulation, and even killed the Wei family ancestor..."

"Do they take me for a three-year-old child with such outrageous lies? I'm not mentally retarded, how could I believe it?"

The others heard this and all burst into laughter.

"That's right, this lie is too outrageous!"

"That guy Ling Xuzi is a brain-dead; how is he embarrassed to say such a lie?"

"Alas, I don't know, maybe this guy has a problem with his brain!"

"I'm just curious, what is the mood of that Luo Tian who was blown up."

"If he knew about us, he would probably be scared to tears!"

The people around said in a jumble.

And just then...

"Is it very funny?" Someone spoke from the corner of the main hall.

"Hm?" Everyone looked over, wanting to know who dared to defy the Divine Martial King.

They saw a youth sitting cross-legged on a table in the corner of the main hall, holding a chicken leg in his hand, eating it with relish.

Beside the youth, an old man had a somewhat strange expression.

"Hm? Lord Wang, is this your son? How is he so ignorant of etiquette? Why don't you let him get over here and apologize to Lord Divine Martial King!" A Divine Martial Guard shouted sternly.

That Lord Wang heard this and immediately said with a mournful face, "My lord, I... I don't know him. He just suddenly appeared a moment ago, squeezed me to the side, and even snatched my food."

"What?"

Everyone was stunned.

This was the Divine Martial King's Mansion; how could someone break in and even snatch a chicken leg to eat?

At this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that the youth was not alone.

Behind him were another man and a woman.

The man was over two zhang tall.

And the woman was peerlessly beautiful, but her eyes were full of anger.

The crowd didn't recognize the youth and the man, but after seeing the young girl, they all felt a chill.

"Prin... cess?" Someone exclaimed.

The others also recognized that this young girl was none other than the Princess of the Night Wind Kingdom, Gu Ye Yu Ning.

However, at this moment, shouldn't she be imprisoned in the imperial palace, unable to go out?

Why would she appear here?

Could it be that the Divine Martial King invited her?

For a time, everyone looked toward the Divine Martial King.

But the Divine Martial King himself was also confused.

"Kid, who are you?" The Divine Martial King stared at Luo Tian and asked.

"Me? I am that Luo Tian you were talking about," Luo Tian said.
